[Ding!]

[Discovered Treasure Chest Holder: Ayano Keiko]

[Extract?]

Could it actually be a female player?

And she even has a treasure chest!

Facing this unexpected pleasant surprise delivered right to his doorstep, Tenya naturally accepted it with a smile.

'Extract!'

[Opening B-rank Treasure Chest... Congratulations to the Host on obtaining Beast Taming]

[Possesses the technique to tame beasts.]

Tenya checked both the system interface and the game interface and found that this skill was present on both sides.

In other words, when he exits the game later, the skill will also be retained.

"Don't be afraid, little sister."

Tenya reached out and gently stroked Keiko's head.

Having snatched a treasure chest from her, his attitude instantly became friendly.

"Mm."

Keiko nodded, her face red.

"Greetings, players, and welcome to my world."

"My name is Kayaba Akihiko."

"Currently, I am the only human capable of controlling this world."

The hollow figure in the sky began to introduce himself.

"Really?"

"That's Kayaba-san, the game's developer?"

Everyone looked surprised.

"I believe you players have already noticed that the 'Exit Game' button in the main menu is gone."

"However, this is not a problem with the game."

"To reiterate, this is not a problem with the game, but rather Aincrad's original design."

"You cannot voluntarily exit the game, and people outside cannot stop or remove the game helmet."

"If you forcefully do so, the result will only be death..."

Akihiko patiently explained the current state of the game.

However, while he was speaking, players began to disappear sporadically in the area.

"It is regrettable that, so far, the family and friends of many players have ignored the warnings."

"Attempting to forcibly remove the game helmet..."

"The result is that 213 players have permanently withdrawn from Aincrad and the real world."

Akihiko's cold words described a chilling event.

"Impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"How could a lousy game company have such immense capabilities?"

"Do you think our country's cybersecurity agencies are idiots?"

Everyone expressed disbelief.

"As expected, is it relying on some strange power?"

Only Tenya knew what was going on.

Technology can only solve technological problems. It is powerless against the strange.

"As you can see, including the large number of deaths that have occurred, this situation is being repeatedly reported by various media outlets."

"I believe your family and friends in reality will cease any rash actions."

To increase the sense of reality, Akihiko also brought up a large number of news information windows and sent them to all players.

"I hope all players can focus on clearing the game."

"Friendly reminder: From now on, all revival methods within the game will be ineffective."

"The moment your health points reach zero, your character will permanently disappear, and simultaneously..."

"Your body in reality will also be destroyed!"

"The only way to leave the game is to clear the 99th floor of Aincrad!"

Akihiko's words once again caused panic among all the players.

"What a joke!"

"To fight to the 99th floor, when will that happen?"

"Our bodies in reality will probably have starved to death long ago."

Everyone expressed their protest emotionally.

"No need to worry."

"From this moment on, the time you experience in the game will be 100 times slower than in reality."

"You have plenty of time to clear the game." Akihiko further explained.

"Controlling time? Is this really just a game?" Keiko was stunned.

Although she was young, she had read quite a few books.

This was definitely not something that current technology could achieve.

Tenya was also quite surprised by this. Being able to freely control time, it seems this strange entity is no small matter.

"Finally then, in everyone's inventory, there is a starter pack I have provided, please confirm." Akihiko said.

Everyone was already numb at this point and could only follow his instructions.

"Is this a mirror?"

Keiko opened her inventory and took out a mirror.

Swish... Swish... Swish...

Innumerable white lights flashed across the area.

A moment later, the appearance of almost all players changed.

"Brother, who are you?"

"Damn, you're a guy?"

"You are! Didn't you say you were a 17-year-old young girl?"

The character models of all players were changed to resemble their real-life appearance.

This exposed all the male players who played female characters, as well as those who faked their age.

Tenya had chosen customization from the beginning, so his appearance hardly changed at all.

He subconsciously looked at Keiko in front of him. Well, she was also a little loli in reality.

The only difference was that her chest had shrunk by two sizes...

"Brother, you look so handsome in real life." Keiko looked at him with a surprised expression.

"To give all players the most realistic experience, the character models will all be based on your real-life prototypes."

"My goal has been achieved."

"To create this world, and then observe it."

"Now, to end Aincrad's beginner's explanation..."

"I wish all players a pleasant journey."

After speaking, Akihiko's body automatically disintegrated, and the red barrier covering the sky also disappeared.

"What a joke!"

"Let me out quickly!!"

"I want to quit this crappy game!!!"

After a brief silence, the emotions of all the players exploded.

"Heh! I actually find it quite interesting..."

Tenya wasn't afraid of being trapped in the game at all. With his ability, he could return to reality anytime he wanted.

He had originally planned to leave alone, but seeing that this little loli had contributed a treasure chest to him, he might as well give her a hand.

"Let's go."

Tenya grabbed the stunned Keiko with one hand, used the Sprint skill, and left the town hall at the fastest speed, moving away from the players who had fallen into a state of panic.

"Uh..."

"Brother, what should I do?"

Keiko finally reacted at this moment, looking at him with teary eyes.

"No need to worry, let's add each other as game friends first."

Tenya sent the friend request interface to her.

She silently pressed 'Agree'.

After becoming friends, they could see each other's character names and status.

"Tenya...?"

"Silica, please take care of me."

Tenya also recognized the little loli in front of him at this time, Silica from the original story, a support character.

For the next period of time, Tenya led Silica around to level up.

Bang!

Tenya used a sword to push back a Level 8 Moon Wolf. In fact, if he had used the 'Enhance' skill, he could have killed it in one hit.

However, in order to train Silica's combat skills, he could only hold back.

"Switch."

"Silica!"
