I logged in using my account from the beta that I participated in. I look down to see my old avatar from the beta
"Ah bring back memories with only this avatar.......Well so far so good. We can go farming exp." He said
************************************
Suddenly a box appear out of nowhere says 'Level up'
"Not bad not bad at all" I said
I look around to see a place I could set while admiring the view so that's what I did.
As I admire the view, I smile. Even though this world isn't real, I felt ............ happy that's all I felt
"There's nothing can ruined this moment" I said
I was so stupid to think that
Suddenly, I was transported to the center area of the Town of Beginnings and other players as well.
"....so many people......."
"A forced teleport?" A guy said
"Up there" Some player said
I look up to see the word "System Announcement" and "Warning" appeared in the sky and it started to turn red spread across the whole sky.
Blood suddenly comes out of it and form a giant cloaked person
"The Game Master?"
"Why is he hiding his face?"
"Is this an event?"
"Attention, players of SAO. Welcome to my world" The cloaked figure started
"My name is Kayaba Akihiko" He introduces himself as Kayaba Akihiko
"I am currently the one and only person who can control this world" He said
"So it is him......" I said to myself
"He must've invested a lot of time into this."
"I'm sure that you've all already noticed that the logout button on the main menu has been removed." He continued
"Wait wha?"
"However,this is by no means a mistake. I repeat. It's is not a mistake, but a feature of the true Sword Art Online" He added
"You are all unable to log out of SAO, and nobody in the real world can remove the NerveGear or interrupt it's operation. If it were to attempted...." He said
"Then what?" I ask
"a powerful burst of microwave radiation emitted from a transmitter in the NerveGear and will destroy your brain,thus ending your life" He said finishing the sentence
"........" I didn't said anything because I know it's real. The single emitted by the NerveGear's transmitter is really the same as a microwave.
"And here I thought nothing like this gonna happen so I ignored it but how wrong I am........." I let out a sigh
"Unfortunately, it's certainly possible that a player's family or friends would ignore this warning and attempt to forcibly remove the NerveGear. As a proof of this, 213 players have retired from both this world and the real world" Akihiko Kayaba said
"213 players already........"
"As you can see, news of my warning and the numerous victims are being spread worldwide. Thus,it should be safe to say that the danger of removal attempts has been minimal. I hope you will all be at ease and focus on completing the game. But I'd like you all to keep this in mind. From this point on, all methods of revival in the game will no longer function. If you're HP hits zero,your avatar will perish for eternity, and at that moment... the NerveGear will destroy your brain." When Kayaba said that, Argonaut my eyes widened
"There is only one condition you must meet to be free. The completion of this game. You are all currently on the first floor, the lowest point in Aincrad. If you conquer a floor dungeon and defeat the Floor Boss, you may continue up to the next one. Assuming you manage to defeat the final boss on the 100th floor, the game will be considered cleared." Kayaba continued
"So you want us to beat the game?" I ask
"Correct" He replied
"F*** you!" I replied everyone then turn their head towards me
"Woooohaaah! Getting a lot of hostility here. Don't appreciate it." They then turns to Kayaba
"Well, honestly! When was the last time you heard of someone Beating every quest?!" I ask again
"When was the last time you heard of someone playing every quest?" He ask
"........Ok that's fair"
"Anyway lastly, I've prepared a present for all of you in your item storage. Please, take a look." He said
Everyone then opened their storage and saw that they have an item and saw it was a hand mirror.
" A Mirror?" I ask
Suddenly, everyone started to glow and after the light died down, everyone's face was no longer in their avatars, but their real-life appearance.
I look at the mirror and touched my face

"I don't get it....how...-oh yeah the scan we had to do when we first booted up our NerveGear."
"Right now, you're probably all wondering why? Why would I, Kayaba Akihiko, the creator of Sword Art Online and the NerveGear, do such a thing? I have already achieved my goal. I created the world of Sword Art Online solely for my personal enjoyment and now the preparations are complete. This concludes the tutorial for the official launch of Sword Art Online. Players, I wish you the best of luck." Kayaba's avatar then disappeared and everyone looked completely and utterly shocked, confused, and horrified.
Everyone then started to panic and the invisible barrier before, keeping them from leaving are disappeared.
I got an idea and I run to made my way out to the alley near the exit of the town.
"I have to survive....."
First, I have to get to the next town as soon as possible. If what he said was true. I have to get stronger...........
I then I saw a male and a female that is older than me......but they disappeared the next second
So hope you guys like the first chapter and your username. If don't tell me what can I improve. If you do like it can you please leave a votes for this chapter
