Lin Yan watched as a transparent progress bar slowly changed.

1%.

2%...

“I…” Qi Lin’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Her beautiful figure appeared not far away.

Lin Yan smiled slightly at Qi Lin, a smile that stirred Qi Lin's heart.

step.

She finally took a step.

The black dark gold armor appeared on Qi Lin's body, outlining her perfect figure, slender posture, and a pair of stunning and imposing eyes behind the goggles.

Too beautiful.

"Yan, I am your sniper."

"[Divine Retribution] will always be with me, and I will always heed your call." Qi Lin reached out and pulled out a long sniper rifle that shone with an obsidian-like luster. It was Qi Lin's most precious treasure—Divine Retribution.

It was Lin Yan who gave her this outstanding ability.

Qi Lin's eyes shone with a sharp gaze once again, a confidence that emanated from within.

"As long as you summon it, there is no target in the entire universe that Divine Retribution cannot reach."

[Ding, host's intention detected, system is upgrading... System upgrade complete...]

[Target: Qilin]

[Ding, do you wish to sign a contract? After signing the contract, you will no longer be bound by the summoning conditions and can be summoned directly to this world. Summoning attempts *1.]

"Then if I encounter any danger, I'll be counting on you."

Lin Yan smiled and said.

At this moment, even the aloof and cold angel Yan felt a little envious of Qi Lin, for the bond between them was so strong.

Lin Yan rarely showed such a gentle smile.

For the past seven thousand years, Angel Yan has enjoyed this solitude. She is a beautiful angel standing at the pinnacle of civilization, with an excellent body, soaring through the universe, all to defend the righteous order of Queen Keisha of the Angel Civilization.

But that's how it is.

Angel Yan lives for herself.

She longed to see that smile again.

A voice suddenly rang in Angel Yan's mind.

[You are my only guardian angel. Thank you for your love and care, thank you for bearing my pain and suffering. Wherever and whenever, I will trust you and call upon you. And I will defend your dignity, your glory, and your precious life.]

It echoes the oath of the guardian angel.

Angel Yan's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Yan.

Their eyes met.

In that instant, it was... trust!!

This moment is Angel Yan's most glorious moment.

Not the moment I became the left-wing guardian of the Holy Keisha, nor the moment I became the Angel King of the Angelic Civilization, but...

this moment.

My heart was surging with emotion, yet at the same time, it was as warm as a spring.

The slight gloom and sadness in Angel Yan's heart vanished in an instant, all for this moment of perfect understanding and smile.

Time continued to tick away, second by second.

Lin Yan's figure gradually faded, and his vision blurred little by little. The last thing he saw was Angel Yan's proud yet warm smile, and Qi Lin's stubborn tears that refused to fall.

At the same time.

In 2022, humanity finally realized a fully hypothetical space.

The release of [Sword Art Online Online] attracted a large number of players and became a hot game, with many 'lucky ones' eagerly logging into the game.

however--

No one expected it.

Disaster has struck.

When the initial players discovered there was no 'logout' option, they assumed it was a mistake by the operator. Strangely, however, there was also no option for emergency disconnection.

Of course, some astute players...

They also discovered some clues.

If the problem lies with the ISP, then simply shutting down the server and forcing all players to log out will solve the issue.

However, the bulletin board was empty.

"When-when-when-"

The clock in the central square rang.

This sent a shiver down the spines of the panic-stricken players, who all looked up at the distant sky where the setting sun created a particularly beautiful scene.

However, when paired with the deep chimes, it sounded somewhat eerie and terrifying.

After a flash of light, all the players appeared one by one in the central square, each with a blank expression.

"What exactly happened?"

"Why was I teleported here...?"

"look up!"

A red warning suddenly appeared in the sky shrouded in the glow of dawn, and the warning quickly spread, enveloping the entire area in a red atmosphere, as if it had been stained with the color of blood.

Above the dome.

Like thick, fresh blood flowing downwards, a virtual image of a long-distance runner dressed in black and red appeared within it.

This person is...

Kayaba Akihiko.

"Administrator? Why doesn't it have a face?"

"What kind of event is this?"

……

All the players were stunned, and some were at a loss for what to do.

Some looked puzzled.

They whispered among themselves, discussing the matter quietly.

Danger is like the gaping maw of a behemoth in the abyss, and these players will soon be plunged into the depths of hell.

"very scary."

"It's so scary."

Some timid people have already shown their fear.

"It's definitely a continuation of the celebration."

There are also optimists.

Looking down at the numerous players, Kayaba Akihiko, with an air of supreme superiority, spread his arms and announced, "Fellow players, welcome to my world."

"My name is Kayaba Akihiko, and I am currently the only human capable of controlling this world. Some of you may have noticed that the logout button on the main menu is missing, but this is not a problem with the game. To reiterate, this is not a problem with the game; it is simply how Swordartonline is played."

"You cannot log out voluntarily, and outsiders cannot stop or deactivate NERvGear. If you attempt to do so, the high-power microwaves emitted by NERvGear's signal unit will damage your brain and halt vital functions."

"what happened?"

"They're just putting on an act to liven things up, aren't they?"

"Let's finish it quickly."

Some people thought it was just a marketing gimmick, but they found themselves unable to leave the central square. It was then that panic began to spread.

"It is regrettable that, to date, due to the disregard of warnings by players' friends and family, 213 players have been permanently removed from Aincrad and the real world by the forced removal of common sense."

Kayaba Akihiko's voice remained completely calm.

The announcement of the deaths of over two hundred players was coldly made.

In the real world, numerous media outlets have reported on this incident, which has quickly become a hot topic.

"From now on, in-game resurrection will be removed. The moment your HP reaches zero, you will truly die. The only way to be freed is to defeat the final boss at the top of Aincrad."

Afterwards, Kayaba Akihiko also gave a big gift.

Everyone has become almost identical to them in reality, which is achieved by collecting data through multiple contact calibration steps with the equipment.

This caused another commotion in the square.

Good luck to all players.

After saying that, Kayaba Akihiko disappeared completely, and the warning bar that filled the sky also disappeared.

The sunset painted the sky, and it was still as beautiful as ever.

however--

At this moment, "Sword Art Online" is shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere, with fear, despair, and panic spreading.

"Don't...don't!"

"What a joke!"

"Let me out! I want to get out of here!"

"I'm very troubled, I have an appointment next."

"What are you thinking about!"

"Let me out!"

"Stop joking, I don't want to die here."

"I don't want to die."

Most of the players instantly lost control, their faces filled with anger. Some were overwhelmed by fear, cowering in corners and trembling, while others took action.

In an inconspicuous corner, a player in a black cloak went unnoticed in the chaotic square.

"Oh? This is the world of Sword Art Online."

A smile appeared on Lin Yan's lips.

He looked at the chaotic plaza, and based on his understanding of Sword Art Online, it was clear that this death game had begun. Kayaba Akihiko had also finished his speech.

"No, no, no, I want to go out."

"You'll die. You'll die if you take off your helmet."

"Mom, I don't want to die."

……

Many people were sobbing and screaming in fear. They were so helpless and terrified. And a familiar interface appeared before Lin Yan's eyes.
