Even in the virtual space, he would lose consciousness - Asuna accidentally thought of it when she fell on the maze ground.

The loss of consciousness is due to the temporary delay in the blood flow in the brain, which causes the body's function to stop temporarily. However, it is hard to imagine that the body will have the same reaction in reality, and it probably doesn't matter even if it occurs. After all, such a virtual online game kidnapping incident occurred, and the body in reality has been transferred to the hospital.

Consciousness gradually becomes thinner and all distracting thoughts are gone.

Forget it, it doesn't matter. Finally, Asuna thought so.

Yes, nothing matters now..

Because, she will die here.

It is impossible to faint in the maze of fierce monsters wandering around. Although other players may be nearby, considering that rescuing others who faint will also involve themselves in danger, as long as they are not fools, they should not go to rescue them, and then their own results will be obvious.

In addition, they don't know how to help the players who fall to the ground.

In this world, the system has strict regulations on the total weight that each player can transport.

At the bottom of the maze, no matter who it is, he should have medicines and equipment that have reached the maximum weight limit, and there should be money and props dropped from the battle. It is absolutely impossible to carry other players.

——When I thought of this, Asuna finally realized it.

A strong sense of dizziness surged up. The thoughts made in the moment before falling to the ground were too long and too comfortable, right?

Moreover, the hard stone pavement below the body should have been, but the soft touch from the back was a delicate feeling. Slowly my body began to warm up, and at the same time I felt a peaceful breeze blowing across my cheeks...

Naturally, I opened my eyes as if I had woken up.

The surroundings are no longer a maze area isolated by thick stone walls, but a clearing in a forest.

Wherever her eyes looked, there were trees with bright green moss and small flowers with thorns. In the middle of this open space, which was almost half a room, Asuna found herself fainting on this carpet-like grass... no, she was sleeping on it.

——What exactly is going on? Why should I fall to the lowest level of the maze area and move to this distant area?

Soon, he noticed the figure not far away with confusion and blank eyes mixed with doubts and confusion.

Almost all over his body was sitting beside the huge tree root system.

There was an ordinary one-handed sword in hand. He looked at the sky calmly with his head raised, not knowing what he was thinking, as if he was dazed. He could only see his side face, but was blocked by his purple hair. However, judging from the equipment and physique, there was no doubt that it was the male player who spoke to himself before he fainted at the maze.

I'm afraid this man used some method to move himself to the forest outside the maze. He looked at the surrounding scenery. More than a hundred meters away from the left, there was a giant tower that reached the sky - the first dark maze area of ​​Einggrant, which was right there.

His eyes couldn't help but put on the man again.

I don’t know if he was aware of his movements, the man in a dark black coat trembled his shoulders and his face turned around. In this bright midday forest, his eyes were as dark as the starless night sky.

The moment the eyes met with the eyes, a wonderful sense of frustration emerged in my mind.

Asuna - Yuki Asuna bit her lip and squeezed out such a sentence in a low and hoarse voice.

"Don't... meddle in other people's business."

*

Since being trapped in this world, Asuna has asked herself hundreds or thousands of times.

Why did you have to touch this emerging game machine that didn't originally belong to you at that time? Why did you wear it on your head, lie on a mesh bench, and read the start command?

The one who bought this cursed murder machine and the vast and endless soul prison game was not Asuna but her brother, Hiroichiro, who was much older than her.

However, for Koichiro, he lived a life without a chance to be with games and MMORPG since he was a child. As the eldest son, who represented the president of the large electronic machinery manufacturing factory, gave various educations to become his father's heir and excluded many things, why did his brother, who was interested in SAO? So far, Asuna has not figured out this reason.

But ironically, Koichiro never played this game he bought for the first time since he was born. During the days when the server was officially launched, he went overseas on a business trip. The day before his departure, he was having supper with Asuna, and he also said some joking complaints. It seems that he really feels regretful.

Although not as good as Koichiro, Asuna has only been exposed to some free games on mobile terminals when she was in the third grade of junior high school. She knows about online games, but because college tests are imminent, she should not have any interest in online games and motivation to play them.

Because of this, why did I visit my brother's empty room one month ago at afternoon on November 6, 2022 and put NervGear on the table, ready to wear it on my head? I still don't know these reasons.

If we have to say it in one sentence, on that day, everything changed... no, it was all over.

Hiding in a room in the hotel on the Original Street and waiting for the end of the incident, Asuna did not receive any news from the real world after two weeks. At this time, she gave up the idea of ​​saving herself from the outside. Moreover, although the number of players' deaths exceeded one thousand, the initial maze was still not broken. Asuna, who learned the news, understood that the idea of ​​waiting to open the game from the inside was futile.

The only option left is "How to die".

If this continues, I don’t know how many months or years it will be in this safe street. Moreover, no one can guarantee that the rule of “monsters will not invade the street” will not last forever.

It is better to walk out of this street than worrying about the future of continuing to hold your knees and hide in a dim hut. Do your best to study, exercise, and fight. If you end up exhausting your energy and fall down, at least you won’t regret the past’s impulse or feel sorry for the lost future.

Take action, move forward bravely, and then disappear, just like a shooting star burning in the atmosphere.

With this idea, Asuna walked out of the hotel and embarked on the wilderness of a MMORPG world where she didn't understand terms at all. She only relied on the weapons she chose and learned the only skill to reach the bottom of such a rarely-people maze.

Now, it is after 4:00 a.m. on Friday, December 2. I'm afraid it's because of the fatigue caused by this messy Lien Zhan. Asuna's path should have ended. Located near the left side of the "Monument of Life" in the "Black Iron Palace" of the Original Street, Asuna's name will be drawn on a horizontal line, and everything will end here - it should be. It should be like this.

"Waving a sword to seek death and swing a sword to fight, both of which determine a person's fate, what do you think?"

The male player looked over with a 45-degree look back.
