3, 2, 1......
As the clock struck 8 PM precisely.
Orario.
All gods and adventurers wearing virtual reality headsets, upon the command 【Link Start】!
Their vision went black.
Following a vibrant, multicolored stream of light, they all descended into a brand new world called Aincrad......
“You’ve got to be kidding me… This sensation, this scenery, could it be that the little runt discovered another world and is disguising it as a game?”
The game 【Sword Domain】.
A vast world constructed of 100 floors, 【Aincrad】.
The first floor of Aincrad, the plaza.
A place known as the starting village, a flash of white light, and Loki descended here.
Feeling this unfamiliar world, Loki's expression was solemn, she had reason to suspect that Hestia had discovered another world.
“I can’t use my divine power, and even this body is like the mortal body of a child......”
“Hermes?”
“Loki?”
Two pairs of eyes, one large and one small, met, and the shock in each other's eyes was discovered.
“What are you doing here too?” They said in unison.
“Hestia gave me a pair of virtual reality glasses, saying she wanted me to experience the fun of the game.”
Opening his arms and stretching his body, Hermes didn't feel any obstruction at all.
It was as if......
He was originally supposed to be this mortal body, he was originally supposed to live in this other world.
What terrifying technology......
Hermes muttered to himself.
“What!? Gave them away!!? That damn little runt, she actually sold them to me for 200,000 Valis!” Hearing Hermes' words, Loki said through gritted teeth.
“200,000? But I heard that the normal price of virtual reality glasses should only be 100,000 Valis.”
Hermes raised an eyebrow, his words carrying a deeper meaning.
“10, 100,000...... No way! I’m going offline to talk to that little runt and get that 100,000 Valis back!”
“That damned fellow! I knew she wasn't up to any good when she took the initiative to sell this thing to me!”
Loki was furious.
100,000 Valis wasn't much to her, but she felt inexplicably uncomfortable being tricked out of it by Hestia.
Fortunately, she wasn't aware of the 2 million Valis that Lu Yuan had scammed from her.
Otherwise, Loki might not be able to sleep for several nights.
“It’s 8 PM now, are you sure you want to go find Hestia?” Hermes was speechless.
Not to mention that it was nighttime, but didn't Loki want to try out the content of this game?
A game comparable to discovering a new world, this was a major event that could affect Orario.
He didn't know how Hestia discovered or created this thing......
It seemed that he would have to investigate Hestia Familia tomorrow.
“Forget it, I’ll talk about the 100,000 Valis tomorrow, I’ll go explore this new world first......”
Clearly, for Loki, the new world in front of her was more attractive than 100,000 Valis.
“Loki, Hermes, you guys came here too? Want to team up to fight monsters?”
Hephaestus waved her hand, greeted the two, and walked over from not far away.
She had a good relationship with Hestia, so she knew a lot about the gameplay of 【Sword Domain】.
“Fight monsters!? What do you mean?” Loki and Hermes looked at each other, their faces full of confusion, like two country bumpkins.
“Fighting monsters... it's like......” Recalling Hestia's introduction yesterday, Hephaestus began to explain to the two.
Coincidentally.
As the gods and adventurers successively entered Aincrad.
A huge uproar filled the entire starting plaza.
No one wasn't shocked by the things in front of them, this was already something beyond their understanding.
......
“Welcome everyone to 【Aincrad】.”
A huge scarlet vortex suddenly swept across the sky.
The terrifying phenomenon instantly suppressed the noise on the plaza and attracted everyone's attention.
Under everyone's gaze.
A huge black shadow wearing a red cloak slowly appeared in the sky.
“This is an open virtual world, here, you can do whatever you want, fight monsters, forge, cook, etc......”
A faint voice came from inside the cloak.
If there was someone with keen hearing at this moment, they would find that this voice was very similar to that of a certain adventurer named Lu Yuan in the Hestia Familia.
“Fight monsters? Are you kidding me, could it be that this is a world similar to the dungeon?”
“Forging? What kind of game is this, it completely exceeds my understanding!”
“By the way, why call this world a game?”
“I don’t know......”
“More than that, is that talking cloak monster above a floor boss or something?”
Question marks.
All question marks.
The gods and adventurers who were new to the game were just as confused.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
The original world where 【Sword Domain】 was located, that is, the world of Kayaba Akihiko, whom Lu Yuan transformed into, was a high-tech world.
They had a deep understanding of virtual games.
For a purely open game like 【Sword Domain】 without a main storyline, players would slowly understand it themselves.
But for the Danmachi world, this fantasy world.
Virtual games were completely incomprehensible things, they naturally needed a certain amount of time to slowly settle and understand.
Of course, this was also because Lu Yuan opened the server too hastily and didn't introduce the cognition of virtual games and the detailed gameplay.
Otherwise, with the function of the instruction manual, at least the gods and adventurers on the plaza wouldn't be completely ignorant.
【Aincrad】 has a total of 100 floors from bottom to top, and each floor has a floor boss guarding it.
“If someone can kill the floor boss on the 100th floor, then the Hestia Familia will provide a Momotaro rice ball as a reward.”
Lu Yuan continued to explain.
Although 【Sword Domain】 had many ways to play.
The main way to play was still killing monsters and climbing the tower, in order to motivate the gods and adventurers to play the game.
Lu Yuan threw out the Momotaro rice ball as bait.
However, bait was just bait.
The black-hearted Lu Yuan didn't intend to really give away something worth 10 billion.
100 floors?
Heh!
With his authority as the creator, there was no such thing as the floor boss on the last floor being defeated!
Invincible, immortal, immune, immune to control......
He just wanted to ask, how could the players beat him!
How could they pry his Momotaro rice ball worth 10 billion Valis out of his hands!
