Am I the only one streaming Sword Art Online on the entire internet?

Am I the only one streaming Sword Art Online on the entire internet? (Author: JaceBeleren)

"I have a 6 PM flight to Tokyo to play GP, so I guess I'll be taking a break from streaming for a while. I just got a beta test qualification today, so I'll try streaming this VR game. Sword Art Online, the name sounds pretty good."

When he said this, he didn't expect that once he went in, he would never come out again.

He never expected that in this deadly game, he would be the only one who could contact the outside world, simply because he was still running his live stream.

"I never imagined that I, this embarrassing, slacking-off streamer, would have to stream 24/7! I need to get out!" This is a single-female-lead story that doesn't involve breaking up Kirito and Asuna; it's essentially a meme encyclopedia, resembling a Ubisoft universe fanfic set in Sword Art Online. That's it.

[Warning: High-energy content ahead] A vow made under the starry night.

"Hey hey hey Kirito, are you wind up your own clock?! Little fire spirit, don't block me! Little fire spirit, don't block me! Oh no, oh no, oh no..."

Sorin's face was ashen as he watched his Witch Doctor get trapped in the enemy's clockwork gears, the only opening blocked by Kirito's fire elemental. Helpless, he could only watch his screen turn gray and the countdown begin. His teammates also failed to win the team fight, suffering a 0-for-4 exchange and watching helplessly as their base was completely destroyed.

[Nahiri: Arashi... wake up! You probably have plans for today.]

"Kirito, I'm outta here. Yuna, call me." Sorin hurriedly left these words, then clicked to exit the game, took off the AmuSphere from his head, and looked at the scene in front of him with some surprise.

Yuna was currently lying on top of him, her pretty face, smiling, less than ten centimeters away from his. He raised his head, lightly kissed her lips that were so close to his, and then looked at Yuna, who had suddenly become shy, with the same smile on his face.

"Good morning... I guess you could call it a good morning kiss." Mo Yulan watched as You Na climbed off him, then slowly sat up from the sofa. He looked at the wall clock pointing to three o'clock and suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing from the house. "I've been playing duo queue with Kirito for half the day without even realizing it... Where's Little Ivyxin?"

"Hmm... This morning, a silver-haired girl, about the same age as Ivy, called her away. She seemed to be her friend." You Na recalled the morning's events, then leaned down and pinned Mo Yulan against the sofa. Her initially shy expression suddenly transformed into a mysterious, mischievous grin. "So, from now on, tonight's Yulan is all mine~"

Mo Yulan sensed a subtle change in his relationship with Youna. Initially, he often took the initiative, but later it became occasional. After Youna reclaimed (or rather, inherited) a portion of the power of her ancestral priestess, Mo Yulan became the weaker party.

"But suddenly I feel like nothing's wrong with it."

Thinking this, he closed his eyes slightly, feeling the soft touch on his lips and the small tongue that slipped in and intertwined with his. This continued for quite some time until You Na noticed that Mo Yu Lan's cheeks, earlobes, and neck had turned an alluring crimson. Only then did she stand up, looking at Mo Yu Lan leaning weakly against the sofa, breathing softly, and nodded in satisfaction.

"I protest..."

"Protest denied. I'll go get you some clothes, Lan." You Na wagged her index finger from side to side, then walked contentedly towards the bedroom and started picking through the wardrobe. Mo Yu Lan's everyday clothes were actually quite monotonous, consisting only of the Edelweiss team's uniform and the [Raider's Battle Suit], a casual outfit she was almost tired of seeing.

Of course, Yuna was just checking again to see if Mo Yulan's wardrobe was still as plain as ever. If she said she was going to get clothes for Mo Yulan, she certainly wouldn't take them from this boring wardrobe. She first went to her own wardrobe, opened a bottom drawer, and took out a bag labeled "For Xiao Lan Only"; then she took out a complete set of men's clothing from her wardrobe.

"A date like this... should be really interesting." She murmured softly, picked up the bag and walked out of the bedroom. She looked at Mo Yulan, who was still sprawled on the sofa, and waved to him, "Lan~ try this!"

"No, I refuse, don't do this, Youna, this isn't appropriate... touch him and he'll eat rice!" Mo Yulan looked at the fabric that vaguely resembled a skirt hem peeking out from the bag, and quickly moved away from Youna on the sofa, muttering strange things, "This isn't appropriate, we're all civilized people... no, don't touch me~ no~ this is disrespectful to Big Brother... woc!"

As it turned out, without the classified equipment team, Mo Yulan was completely outmatched by You Na, the master assassin of his time. In reality, all he wanted was to make You Na happier. As for the embarrassment of wearing women's clothing in public… if You Na was happy, then it wasn't embarrassing, was it?

That's what she said, but when Mo Yulan stood in front of the mirror and looked at his current appearance, he still felt so ashamed that he didn't even dare to open his eyes. At this moment, he was wearing a black sleeveless short shirt and a silk long skirt that reached his ankles. The length of the short shirt was just enough to reveal a small section of his fair, fat-free abdomen, while the long skirt was tube-shaped, and its width at the very end was still about the same as his waist.

The silk dress was somewhat sheer, and through the hem, Mo Yulan's slender and straight legs could be vaguely seen. Against the backdrop of this semi-transparent black outfit, Mo Yulan's skin appeared even more pristine and white, like the first snowflakes, making her look even more alluring.

Of course, considering that Mo Yulan had never had a similar experience before, in order to prevent the unfortunate event of falling flat on the ground, You Na did not prepare a pair of high heels for him. So he was just wearing a pair of flat strappy sandals.

The two women now presented a stark contrast. Yuna had her hair up and tucked into a baseball cap, making her look like a tomboy; their roles seemed to have been reversed.

“Of course, there’s one last step.” You Na tiptoed slightly, tied a black silk ribbon around Mo Yu Lan’s neck, made a pretty bow on the side, and then clapped her hands. “That’s it, watching your fiancé become your best friend… oh dear…”

Mo Yulan shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that he mustn't let this embarrassing past get out. He felt that the poorly designed dress had successfully slowed him down, and of course, You Na knew this too, so she walked very slowly as well. She and Mo Yulan had gone on many outings in SAO before, but this was the first time she had taken the lead on a date like this.

"Where should we go, Lan? I feel like you should decide that."

She looked at Mo Yulan with pleading eyes and asked this question. Mo Yulan pondered for a moment, but his knowledge of Tokyo was limited to how to get to the various card shops; he knew almost nothing else. At that moment, his Augma suddenly vibrated twice, and a message flashed before his eyes, marked with the words: "[Astronomical Wonders to Appear Soon and Their Calculation Process]".

He opened it and saw a dense array of star charts and calculations, which made him a little dizzy. So he immediately closed it and sent a message back to the person with the ID ALP.

"If you don't understand, speak like a human."

"I'll get straight to the point: there will be a visible meteor shower tonight at 6 PM if you look at the Tokyo Skytree 450-meter observatory at around 37°15′ east-southeast. Just bring your girlfriend there."

"Nice work. I need to hurry." Mo Yulan thought to herself, then changed the last item on her afternoon schedule from firearms training to Tokyo Skytree, and arranged today's itinerary around it. "Let's go to Tokyo Tower, I have a surprise for you in a little while."

He opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and fastened his seatbelt. Yuna sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove towards Sumida Ward. Normally, Tokyo Tower tickets need to be booked in advance, but after Mo Yulan mentioned it to Doc, two e-tickets were credited to his Augma account five minutes later.

In fact, the two had set off quite some time in advance, but by the time they reached the foot of the Sky Tree, it was already completely dark. Of course, the lights were still very bright, appearing quite dazzling in the night.

Mo Yulan still wasn't walking very fast. He felt he was attracting a lot of attention along the way, which made him a little uncomfortable. You Na was still holding his left hand, keeping him by her side, and led him into the sightseeing elevator.

"Still can't reveal what the surprise is?" she asked, but Mo Yulan simply smiled and shook her head, saying nothing more. The sightseeing elevator rose higher and higher, and the city below quickly appeared as small as a grain of rice, until finally only the scattered lights came into their view.

“I suddenly thought of the scene when I watched the floating city collapse at the end, Lan.” You Na stood behind Mo Yu Lan, wrapped her arms around his slender waist, and rested her head on his back. “It was also like this, high up, like in the clouds, watching the magnificent scene, just as an observer.”

"Do you remember what I said at the end?" Mo Yulan suddenly smiled, then covered You Na's hands, which were placed on his lower abdomen, with his hands, his tone full of tenderness.

“Could it be…” You Na didn’t answer directly. She vaguely felt that this was the surprise Mo Yulan had mentioned. The elevator stopped quickly, and You Na led him out of the elevator again. The two sat down side by side behind the glass of an observation deck. You Na looked at Mo Yulan in a daze, while Mo Yulan looked out the window.

"I have to say I've been really busy lately, and I haven't had a chance to leisurely spend time just the two of us like before."

Mo Yulan's tone carried a hint of regret, but You Na didn't say anything. She simply rested her head on Mo Yulan's shoulder and her right hand mischievously played with his fingers.

“It’s okay, at least Lan belongs to me now.” She smiled and looked out the window with Mo Yulan. “I really wish time could stand still at this moment, so that Lan would always be by my side.”

“I think you should at least wait a little longer before saying that, Yuna.” Mo Yulan brought up Augma’s current time, then turned her gaze to the sky at 37°15′ east of south. “Here it comes.”

"They're here? What's here?"

Yu asked that question, even though she already knew what she was about to see. But when she actually saw the sky filled with a shower of stars, tears still welled up in her eyes without her realizing it. It was a promise that had accompanied the two of them from the very beginning. No matter how many difficult challenges or how powerful the enemies, nothing could stop Mo Yulan's steps until this moment.

At the same time, within their line of sight, a huge cherry blossom tree projected using projection technology suddenly appeared, with cherry blossom petals fluttering in the air, contrasting with the starry sky and reflected in Yuuna's still watery eyes.

"I haven't broken my promise, have I? I should have said this when I was on the sixth floor: I wish to shake a cherry blossom tree with you under this starry night and summon a night of starlight."

Mo Yulan suddenly stood up and magically produced a small box from behind her back. She then opened the box, revealing a diamond-encrusted ring placed on a red silk cloth.

"So, my dearest Miss Shigemura Yuna, will you marry me?"

He knelt before Yuna, holding the box in both hands. Although the scene seemed slightly eerie from an outsider's perspective, Yuna's tearful and happy face revealed that it was indeed a moment worth remembering for her.

With trembling hands, she took the small box from Mo Yulan's hand, and then, unable to contain her emotions, she tightly embraced the person she had always loved.

"I do... um..."

I shouldn't have started the live stream before boarding the plane.

"The host you follow, [Elegant Mr. Suolin], has started broadcasting."

As some people heard this notification in the lower right corner, the small live stream room became lively again, and some comments slowly floated across the still black screen.

Is the streamer doing all-out PvP again this time?

If you can watch it on demand, then watch Auto Chess.

[Oh my god! Old Man Suolin has come back to life!]

“What do you mean by ‘coming back to life’... But I won’t be streaming much today, and I won’t be going to the Dark Zone.” A gentle-sounding male voice rang out in the live stream. “I have a flight at six o’clock tonight to go to Tokyo to play a GP, probably using the Red and Black Jacket outfit.”

【祝卷*n】

A flood of comments praising Songwei appeared in the live stream chat instantly, but most viewers and tourists didn't comment, intending to see what the streamer would broadcast that day.

"As I mentioned before, I got a beta test qualification for a Japanese MMORPG game. I heard it was a VR game with a pretty high level of realism." Mr. Solin's voice echoed in the live stream room once again. "I also received the headset around noon today, so the servers should be open by now. I'll do some testing and get my live stream system onto the headset. Lin.k Start!"

Immediately afterward, the live stream screen flickered a few times, followed by a menu for creating a character.

"Looks like it's all set up, but if I don't get into the game right away in the early stages, I'll have to grind a bit more later, so I'm seeing if I can bring this on the plane," he said. "I'll end the stream at 4 PM today, just letting you know in advance."

Two lines of text appeared in the upper left corner of the live stream screen, one of which read: "[Game Name: Sword Art Online (Japanese MMORPG closed beta)]"

The other line naturally reads the phrase, "[The broadcast ends at 4 PM, and I board the plane at 6 PM]".

"Okay, let's go to the character creation menu. This game doesn't seem to have the traditional MMO class system; it just lets you choose your starting weapon." He glanced around and found that the character creation area was just a blank white screen, so he didn't shake his head to make the live stream screen even more shaky. "There are quite a few weapons to choose from. Swords include rapiers, one-handed swords, and two-handed greatswords. Then there are heavy weapons like battle axes and hammers, and below that are special weapons like scythes and daggers..."

After giving a long explanation, he finally sighed and drew a conclusion.

"Why does it feel so similar to the Monster Hunter series? Do you think I'll get a special skill like Demon Mode if I choose to wield dual daggers?"

Many people can relate to this: when creating a character in an MMORPG, the three most difficult things are choosing a class, naming the character, and customizing the appearance. Mr. Sorin doesn't know if you can change weapons, so he's currently experiencing obsessive-compulsive tendencies when choosing his initial weapon, going back and forth endlessly.

"Actually, I just wanted to choose a weapon that requires a bit more skill to use. Like when playing The Division PVP, anyone can play a 'Wan Ti Ronin' and still be reckless, but the most visually appealing weapons are the 'Wan Fire' and 'Dead Eye'. I always have to consider the entertainment value when I'm streaming." He used this explanation to explain the nature of his obsessive-compulsive disorder. "Fine, I'll go with the rapier. Weapons that look so thin are definitely more flashy to use."

[The streamer is highly skilled and daring, which is commendable.]

[Weapon with master's hammer]

He calmly chose the rapier, and next came the character design phase, commonly known as character creation. Of course, wanting to save time and stream a little longer, he simply selected "All Random" when he got to the character data section.

"Is randomness the mark of a true man? Look at me, I play Dota 2 mostly randomly. When you feel like you're going to have OCD, just let the computer give you the decision, like this."

[Just kidding, I was having a serious OCD moment while choosing a weapon.]

[A streamer who says one thing but does another, I've followed.]

"What is all this nonsense..." Solin looked at the comments that made him both laugh and cry, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. Fortunately, the two most difficult parts were over, and now only the naming part remained.

SorinMarkov

"Is there even a need to think about it? Of course, this is the name. There's no need to even consider it."

Does the streamer also have a girlfriend named Nashili?

[The person upstairs is overthinking it. If the streamer really had Nashiri as his girlfriend, he'd be a rock by now. Best of luck with the post.]

Solin decided to ignore the comments and directly clicked the start game button. One after another, beams of light of varying lengths and colors streaked across the screen, followed by a flash of white light. When Solin regained his vision, he found himself in the center of a town teeming with players.

"Wow! This game is pretty realistic, quite extraordinary." Solin explained during a break, then walked around a couple of times, trying to find a place where he could accept beginner quests. He opened his skill bar, which had only one slot with the words "[Rapier Mastery Lv.1] 0/1000" written on it.

"It looks like proficiency. It should increase weapon damage or something based on proficiency. We'll talk about that later. Let's find a place to pick up a quest first."

The scene design is great, and the frame rate is high too!

[This looks like a good game. I'll definitely try it out when it's officially released.]

As he explained, he strolled through the streets, admiring the remarkably realistic-looking buildings of the starting town. After walking a short distance, he finally found an old man with a golden exclamation mark above his head in the most crowded area.

"So no matter what kind of MMO it is, the general routine is the same. I guess the old man in the village of the newbie village will give me a task right now, either to deliver a letter to the widow in the east of the village or to go out and kill a chicken. If it's the latter... I hope this town isn't called Riverwood."

[Delivering a letter to the widow at the east end of the village is so realistic! Is the anchor so skilled at it?]

[Highly Rated for River Wood Chicken]

[This reminds me of the sad story from the other day when the streamer stubbornly killed chickens in Riverwood while playing Skyrim.]

"Hello, young adventurer. Our fields have been frequently attacked by wild boars lately. Would you be willing to help us?"
