The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 24 Usagi: I will protect you, Asuna! (Please read on!)
Push time forward a little bit.

Just as Li Xia was comforting the people in the square, selling the information booklet on the first level of the SAO game world that he had made for the players, and spending a large sum of gold coins to buy a small building as the temporary headquarters of the guild to establish the first guild in the game world.

The vast majority of closed beta testers have already taken action while ordinary players are still confused and panicked.

among them.

The ones who reacted the fastest were undoubtedly top beta testers like Kirito.

Those who reacted too quickly naturally missed Li Xia.

For example, Tong Laoye immediately dragged Klein, a friend he just met this afternoon, to a remote alley, and then sincerely told this little newbie some inside information:
"Klein, the resources near the Starting Town are limited. The few high-quality monster spawning points will soon be divided up by thousands of players. If we continue to stay here, the experience and money we can gain will be pitifully small.

In the chaos, most players who want to upgrade and obtain gold coins and equipment will have to venture into relatively dangerous wilderness areas far away from towns to hunt.

That could easily lead to casualties.”

"I have a safe route to the next town base.

There should be only a few hundred people competing for wild monster resources over there in a short period of time. If we act quickly, we can definitely get a share and strive to get a relatively high-quality wild monster refresh point to level up.

Come with me.

I'll take you.

Even if you are only level 1 now, I can still get you there safely."

Kirito's goodwill was at its maximum at this moment.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Klein shook his head and sighed:
"Kirito, thank you.

But I can’t go with you now.”

"why?"

"My friends who play other games and I stayed up all night to queue up to buy this game. They must be at a loss in the square now. I can't abandon them."

Kirito fell silent upon hearing that.

"I traded information with that person in the real world, and he reminded me to level up quickly. So after entering the SAO game world, no matter how relaxed I was, I still leveled up a bit in the afternoon, and I'm currently at level 2."

Close to level 3.

(In the original anime, Kirito is only level 1 at this time.)
"At level 2, I can still handle it easily with Klein alone.

But if you bring three or even four people...

I can't take care of it at all!'

"Okay, Kirito, I can't bear your care anymore. So please stop worrying about it and go to the next village.

As for me, I was the president of a guild in the previous game; and with the skills you taught me this afternoon, I should have no problem dealing with what's next.

Hey, please have some confidence in me."

Kirito's eyes were touched when he heard this.

I clenched my fist unconsciously:

“Klein…”

"That's it, Kirito.

Bye now.

You, your true appearance is surprisingly cute, I quite like it."

“Klein…”

After watching the friend he met in the afternoon leave, Kirito suppressed the guilt in his heart and set out on the safe road to the next village base.

A wild wolf suddenly appeared right in front of the road.

He did not retreat, but went straight forward.

The two sides crossed each other, and with just one sword, he killed them and gained experience and gold coins.

"I must live on in this world!"

Complete the game alive.

I want to see Aunt Cui and Sister Zhiye again while I am still alive.

I used to avoid those two people, but now, nothing is more important than seeing them again.

...

2022年11月6日，13点08分。

A young girl changed into her favorite little skirt at home, but accidentally fell into a death game.

The girl's name is Yuuki Asuna.

The character in the SAO game is named "Asuna".

(Ben Zina in the minds of countless old men.)
Asuna, who had just arrived at the game's novice village, was attacked by a "big man" before she could come to her senses and was knocked to the ground.

However, unexpectedly, after reading the other party's character name, the girl not only did not resist, but also took the other party's hand actively, and then happily took the other party to go shopping in the Novice Village.

The reason why Asuna is so graceful.

Of course it’s because this uncle is her classmate in real life!

And she is also a girl!
She is also her very close friend!

His name is Rabbit Ze.

They can talk about almost anything with each other.

Even the classic hairstyle of President Ya that is familiar to all the old fans was created by this good friend.

In the real world, Tu Ze appears to be a top student in her class, but secretly she is an internet-addicted girl who is extremely keen on all kinds of good games.

Because of the girl's crazy recommendation, Asuna couldn't hold back her curiosity and secretly took away her brother's gaming helmet. Then she slipped back to her own room and entered the SAO virtual world with great expectations.

When she first created her character, the honest girl actually uploaded a large number of her daily life photos and entered the game world with almost 100% restoration.

As soon as she arrived at the Novice Village, Asuna shouted her best friend Usagi's name all over the street.

It was this unintentional action that caused the best friend's social death.

This is when the scene of the "big man" Tu Ze knocking down his best friend appeared.

The subsequent shopping trip for the two was the last relaxing and happy time for each other.

Because Tu Ze was a closed beta player, he entered the SAO game world at the first opportunity, which was at 13:. In the meantime, he tried to practice by killing a few wild monsters outside the city. He had more than a thousand gold coins in his savings.

This fortune was just enough for her to replace a large sickle. Originally, after Tuze changed into her professional attire, she was going to take her bestie to upgrade.

However, Asuna dragged her to eat and go shopping, and soon the precious time was wasted until the evening.

This is also the process for most players in an afternoon.

And this time.

Asuna, who had strict family rules and a particularly strict mother, planned to log off immediately because 17: was the dinner time set by her mother.

then…

Of course there is no way to leave.

The logout button on the main menu was removed by that old bitch Kayaba Akihiko, so there was no way she could log out.

Before the two could react, the system's forced teleportation came.

They were then teleported back to the Advent Square in the Town of Origin along with the rest of the players.

Kayaba Akihiko appears as the bloody shadow of the god of death.

Everyone was told the only way to pass the level and leave this game world, which is: clear all 100 floors.

However, from now on, any means of resurrection will be ineffective.

If you die in the game, your real-world body will die as well.

Many players who were forced to go offline had their brain nerves damaged by their gaming helmets.

While the other players were still complaining and doubting their lives, Usagi quietly pulled Asuna's hand:

"Come with me!"

Out of trust in her best friend, Asuna followed her with her novice sword in hand.

"Where are we going?"

"The next village."

In order to survive better, you must occupy the wild monsters and other resources there in advance.

Just as the two were on their way.

Two wild wolves suddenly appeared in front of us, blocking the road.

This is also the game mechanics of this game.

On the road connecting two towns, a corresponding number of wild monsters will appear based on the number of players nearby.

Usagi chose the path of refreshing the wild wolves, which means that this woman, like Kirito, has a relatively safe route.

After all, on some dangerous paths, the wild monsters that spawn are not just level 2 wild wolves.

"Follow me! Don't be afraid!"

Tu Ze rushed to the front wielding his professional weapon, the Grim Reaper's Scythe.

Then he killed the leading wolf with just one strike.

The skills and proficiency are still worthy of recognition.

But when Asuna saw the other wolf baring its teeth and circumventing Usagi, and then rushing towards her, she panicked. Her legs seemed to be nailed to the spot, and her ears could not hear Usagi's words that she should draw her sword and parry.

"No, don't come over..."

So, the "Strategy Ghost" of the future top guild in the original novel, who was facing this kind of ordinary wild monster for the first time, was bitten by the wild wolf in his panic.

The health bar dropped madly like a flood.

From the healthy green, it quickly dropped to the sub-healthy yellow, and then all the way to the dangerous red!

The exclamation mark of the system warning was almost printed in front of the girl’s eyes!

"Asuna!"

Tu Ze was very anxious.

Fortunately, she arrived in time and saved her best friend whose health bar was almost empty in a very thrilling way.

"Wuwu...Usagi..."

Even though the crisis was temporarily resolved, the girl was still in extreme fear:

"What's going on? Usagi.

It’s just a game, why can’t I quit?
Why does that guy have the right to trap us all and decide our life and death?

Why would he do that? "

"Calm down, Asuna!"

"Wow... I just borrowed my brother's gaming helmet to come in and see you, why are you not letting me go? I'm just an ordinary person who has never played games! Why did things turn out like this?"

When Tu Ze squatted down to comfort her, the girl hugged her good sister tremblingly and cried bitterly.

She was just invited in to play a game, how did this happen?
"Asuna, there's no point in saying this now. At this point, we can only take it one step at a time..."

"You're good at it, so you can just keep going; but it's different for me, I don't know anything about this game!
How do you want me to continue?

Leave me alone and go away!"

She is just a burden now!

“Asuna…”

Seeing this scene, Tu Ze recalled some unpleasant memories and his nose felt sore.

Growing up, she was so good at playing games that she had no friends around her. In junior high school, she finally met Asuna, and they gradually became friends in their daily interactions. How could she not cherish this friendship?
"Asuna, please don't say such discouraging words.

I know you are scared. But please believe me, I will protect you. I will always be by your side to protect you.

Let's go through it together, okay?"

Uzawa, feeling somewhat guilty and self-blaming, hugged his good friend tightly and made a promise.

She shouldn't have recommended this game to her only best friend earlier.

In addition, she would not know how much trouble this flag she set at this time would bring to herself and her bestie in the future.

"Usagi, wuwuwu..."
