In 2022 (two years after TOME is supposedy created), mankind has finally discovered how to make a true virtual reality world? This is off on a good start already.
Then it transitions from a virtual world to reality. Best. Bitchslap. Ever.
SAO releases on October 31st. Information stored into external soft drives.
The hardware is the latest? Why are you doing this to us!? You could KILL somebody with unrefined technology! Wait, the game was made by the inventor of the Nerve Gear? That doesn't help at all...
Damn. Ten thousand copies sold out in seconds? People must really be suicidal and/or irrational these days. Oh wait, that applies to ALL humans.
I feel really bad for that kid on the bed, putting on the Nerve Gear. He has no idea what BS he'll be getting himself into...
Eyerape right there. Why did nobody warn me about this?
Security measures are always good. They (never) prevent death, to some extent.
"Back in this world"? Get. ME. A. Prequel.
Ten thousand suicidal, stupid, irrational people just logged on. It was beautiful.
This is such a small city lol- HOLY CRAP THEY'RE IN A CRAPSULE.
Not another
Tartarus! End to all humanity incoming!Ne
Never mind, just realized that Mr. Confident was a beta tester. Whoops.
Imminent death of Klein incoming! Kirito will become a sad, sad man because he couldn't save Klein.
Nice one, Klein. Hope ya don't die. You're such a scrub.
This game isn't called Sword Art Online for nothing. Lack of magic lets you not become Caster. Or Ivan.
It's 2022, mate. A load of possibilities can happen.
Ten thousand people get to play SAO, while only a thousand of them have any experience whatsoever.
It takes MONTHS to get to the eighth floor!? Good lord.
Obsession of something is usually not good.
Oh Kirito. You're so antisocial.
Teacher-and-student bonds are nice. Except when the teacher dies.
Have fun exiting the game, kids.
Humans have gained quite the taste for... unorthodox foods in the years, it seems.
Voice commands are
so outdated, Klein.
You can't move your body in the Real World? I'm sure that was obvious...
Again, have fun logging out, kids.
Back to hub you go.
Kayaba Akihiko is a murderer. He promises a lovely game, except it's his plan to mass murder people.
