Chapter 233
“Woo!”
The Rainbow Butterfly flew around Rozen while letting out a worried cry, but Rozen had no ti to mind it at the mont.
Suddenly, there was a window popped up in front of Rozen.
It was a ssage from his in-ga friend.
“Kazuto?”
Rozen imdiately opened the ssage.
“Can you log out?”
This short ssage told Rozen how anxious Kirito was at that mont.
This also told Rozen sothing.
“Is this happening to everyone?”
The sense of foreboding in Rozen’s heart was getting stronger and stronger.
Driven by such foreboding, Rozen quickly closed the ssage window and arrived at a certain conclusion.
“Is this a bug?”
Only ga master could answer this as there was no announcent whatsoever regarding this problem.
Rozen could only say one thing for sure.
“If this really is a bug, then it’ll be troubleso.”
Various possibilities popped up in Rozen’s mind.
The gaming corporation Argus was known for its emphasis on player rights.
Therefore, even if Sword Art Online was the first VRMMO that they created, their reputation was known across nations, it could be seen by how easily they sold out the first batch of SAO software, which was 10,000 copies.
However, if a problem like a log out button is missing, thus players couldn’t log out on the first day of the ga, and ultimately couldn’t return to the real world, Argus might be sued for imprisoning 10.000 citizens, and they might file bankrupt as a result.
Furthermore, the sa types of SAO might be banned in the future due to the compromise of the player’s safety
If it turned out that big, it would cause him so trouble.
“I planned to use this ga to expand my arsenal further, I can’t let this ga getting shut in the first day!”
Rozen continued to think of worse and worse possibility, when suddenly….
“Dang dang dang dang!”
Rozen suddenly heard a loud bell echoed across Aincrad.
“What now?”
Rozen was slightly shocked. His body was suddenly enveloped in blue light.
“Zheng!”
Seeing this situation, Rozen imdiately said.
“Is this forced teleport?”
That was the sa chanism as the Teleport Gate ntioned earlier.
Of course, Rozen has used this chanism before during the closed beta, he used the Teleport Gate in the town, he even bought several Teleport Crystal which could be used when he was outside safe zones.
However, this ti was different, Rozen didn’t wish to teleport anywhere, nor did he get any Teleport Crystal on him.
After the blue light disappeared, he suddenly found himself in the central plaza of Town of Beginnings, that he was in during a few hours ago.
“Zheng!”
“Zheng!”
Just like Rozen, many more players were teleported to the central plaza, they all erged out of blue light as well.
“This… is this Town of Beginnings?”
“How am I suddenly here?”
“Is this the teleport ntioned on the official website?”
“What is going on?”
Everyone made a fuss about the current circumstances, and as central plaza was more crowded with more players, anxiety filled the atmosphere and turned into panic.
“Gooo!”
The Rainbow Butterfly that was teleported along with Rozen was shocked by the player’s behavior and hid itself in Rozen’s arms.
Under normal circumstances, players would’ve noticed this Rainbow Butterfly and sward them, but they were in no position to be that carefree at the mont.
“Why can’t I log out!?”
“Ga Master, explain yourself!”
“What a trash ga!!”
The players yelled to voice their frustration, scaring the Rainbow Butterfly even more.
“Up there…!”
Looking at sothing suspicious above the central plaza, Rozen imdiately yelled out.
Not only Rozen, the rest of the players have also seen the sa thing.
Red polygons appeared above the central plaza, and it gradually filled the sky.
Suddenly blood dripped between the gap between the polygon, but before reaching the ground, it sohow rged together and ford a nearly 20 ters dark red cloak.
That was right.
Cloak.
There was nobody inside the cloak.
“Welco to my world.”
The red cloak introduced itself with an indifferent voice.
“My na is Kayaba Akihiko. I believe everyone here should be familiar with myself, right?”
As soon as he said that, everyone in the central plaza was surprised.
“Kayaba Akihiko?”
Rozen was also a little surprised because Rozen knew that na.
To be more precise, every player must’ve known that na.
Because…
“I am the Developnt Director of Sword Art Online and the designer of NerveGear.”
“I’m currently speaking to all of you through this avatar.”
The man nad Kayaba Akihiko introduced himself in a faint voice, and everyone was speechless.
“Is that really Kayaba Akihiko?”
Rozen stared straight at the red cloak floating in the sky.
Breaking the cold silence, Kayaba Akihiko then said.
“I believe all of you should’ve noticed that the logout button in the main nu is missing, right?”
Then he added
“However, this is by no ans a mistake, but a feature of true Sword Art Online.”
Kayaba Akihiko’s words shocked everyone.
Then, as if trying to confuse everyone even more, he said.
“To put it simply, from today onwards, everyone will beco a permanent resident of this world and cannot leave from here.”
Kayaba Akihiko delivered the finishing blow.
“You’ll be stuck here forever unless you clear all 100 floors in Aincrad.”
