Dimensional Chat Room

Chapter 58 Information Substantialization

Sword Art Online.

In 2022, humans will finally realize virtual reality.

VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massive Online Role Playing Game) - Sword Art On line.

A game where you can completely immerse yourself in the game, put your consciousness into a virtual world composed of data, and act with your own consciousness.

Completely stealth machine NERvGear - a streamlined helmet that completely covers the head to face.

There are countless signal components buried inside, and the helmet generates multiple electromagnetic fields from these components, which are directly connected to the user's brain - laying the foundation for mad scientist Kayaba Akihiko's 'death game'.

Sunday, November 6th.

Yuki Asuna finished today's class and returned home exhausted.

Flower arranging and tea ceremonies are not her favorites, but she will try her best to do her best despite her mother's earnest wishes.

Asuna, who had just finished tutoring and was about to take the high school entrance exam, suddenly ran to her brother's room who was on a business trip, took the NERvGear with her, and said the connection.

Sword Art on Line's promotional ads are already overwhelming, and slogans like "a stealth game that fully realizes virtual reality" can be seen everywhere.

Asuna herself can't be said to be interested in games, but she also felt a sense of curiosity at this moment.

Lie on the bed in a comfortable position,

"link start (start connection)"

Consciousness enters the glowing tunnel, and at the end is the login panel and registered identity information.

"ID? Asuna, okay."

Yuuki Asuna (ゆうきあすな) is taken from the Roman pronunciation of her name.

When she opened her eyes again, Asuna stepped onto the stone road of the 'Starting Town', where every new player who logs in starts.

From the perspective of others, a blue halo of light flashed past, and a figure appeared.

Each player can freely adjust the appearance, height and voice. Asuna has long aqua hair and pointed ears.

"This is Sword Art On line...just like the real thing."

Asuna looked at her hands in surprise, and then looked around. Except for the slight flaws in the human model, everything else was exactly the same as real life.

This incredible feeling made Asuna feel that the virtual characters in this world were like her own clones.

"If it were in this world, I... could be myself!"

The good times did not last long, and an anxious atmosphere began to spread on the streets.

——Unable to log out of the game.

The operator also had no explanation.

As time passed, uneasiness and fear began to linger in my heart.

Curses began to appear on the streets of Beginning Town, and some people even put their hands on both sides of their heads as if they were trying to take off a transparent hat, trying to take off their real helmets.

But Asuna knew that was useless. In order to realize a complete stealth environment, NERvGear completely canceled the command signals transmitted from the brain to the spinal cord and converted them into signals for the body to move in this world.

No matter how hard I wave here, my body lying on the bed in my room in the real world will not even move my arms.

A cold feeling shot up her spine, making Asuna feel inexplicably frightened.

The email sent to GM still went nowhere.

Just when her mood was wandering in hesitation.

Nightmares began to flicker in the sky.

——If you die in the game, you really die.

Under the blood-colored sky, the terrifying Death God emerged from the huge drop of blood said this.

No one would believe such a declaration at first.

No, it's the refusal to believe.

The fear of death is instinctive rejection.

Ten hours after the death announcement, many people were still waiting.

They thought there must be some mistake.

Yes, that’s right, this must be just a joke played by the operator.

Maybe you can go out later, and then you must scold them angrily "How could you do such a prank!".

However, ten hours have passed since the death was announced, and I still cannot log out.

Asuna was almost desperate.

She squatted helplessly in a dark corner, surrounded by noisy sounds of panic and curses.

Asuna hugged her arms tightly and stared at the blank interface without blinking, where the logout button used to be.

Then the words called ‘Dimension Chat Room’ appeared.

This made her body tremble, and Asuna clicked in hopefully.

...

"[](Sora): We are not game developers, nor operators. In that literal sense, we are people from other dimensions."

"[](Sora): But speaking of game developers..."

"[] (Sora): Kayaba Akihiko is too obsessed with his childhood dream, trying to realize the fantasy of a 'floating castle in the sky' in the virtual world. Well, I can't understand his persistence. If there is a chance, Even if I risk my life, I will do something similar."

"Asuna: Are you kidding me? The game world is dead, and the high-power signal components buried in the helmet in the real world will burn out the brain. This is murder!"

"[] (Sora): But don't worry, you know the big cute god? No human being can be her opponent in terms of information and data. Even if the virtual level of the entire human world advances hundreds of years, it will not be possible. The opponent of the great cute god."

"??"

Big cute god?

Are you a master in the information field?

Although I don’t know what happened, I finally heard the good news.

Sure enough, the outside world began to launch rescue operations.

And this chat room is the best evidence.

Asuna felt like she was crying with joy. I originally felt that this world should be dark, but now it became unexpectedly bright.

"Aozora: You probably don't know. Talking about "Haruhi Suzumiya" to Asuna in 2022 is like talking about "Saint Biography" to the post-00s generation."

"[] (Sora): Asuna stopped talking. Are you doubting the authenticity of our story? I was the same at the time. Dimensional chat room or something, it's too ridiculous."

"Aozora: Eh? Do you doubt it? I saw you accepted it quickly."

"[](Sora): You can't just nag about everything."

"Asuna: Please stop joking."

"Asuna: Did the game cracking go smoothly? How long will it take before we can release it?"

"Aozora: Don't worry, I have connected to the network of your world. The Great Moe God has begun to analyze the built-in code of Sword Art Online and will liberate you soon."

After hearing these words, Asuna's tense heart finally relaxed.

As soon as Ye You said these words, he was slapped in the face.

"Big cute god: You can't free them from the virtual world."

"Aozora: What?"

Ye You was shocked.

"Aozora: Even you can't break through the firewall set up by Kayaba Akihiko?"

Can't?

The information body is an intellectual life that has existed since the beginning of the universe. Information is linked to each other to form a huge information network.

How is it possible to be helpless about the human network in 2022?

"Big Moe God: No. The simple coded message has been deciphered. But there is something more serious."

Information Body explained,

"Big Moe God: Since just now, I have observed that 'Aincrad', a floating entity that is entirely composed of data and should have only existed in the virtual world, has a tendency to transform into a physical entity."

"[](Sora): Fantasy materialized?"

"Big Moe God: No, it's the materialization of information."

"Aozora: Does this have anything to do with not being able to liberate people trapped in the game?"

"Big Moe God: These ten thousand people are the hub of continuity between 'reality' and 'virtuality'. If they are liberated, 'Aincrad' may be fully realized."

"Aozora: What consequences will this have?"

"Big cute god: the worst case scenario, the world collapses."
