It was supposed to be a love simulation, so why are they also players?

"Toyokawa Shoko! Don't go too far!"

CryChic disbanded after Shoko Toyokawa's departure.

[The reclusive lamp, the bewildered Mutsu, the lost and disoriented Sose, and Toyokawa Shoko, with whom he has had no contact to this day.]

[And you, trapped in a sense of inferiority.]

Your older sister is a prodigy in esports. Whether it's LoL, CS:GO, Valorant, Wu Wei Contract, or Senren Banka... she's always the "other people's child" everyone talks about.

In other words, he's a gaming legend.

You want to prove yourself.

When you hold this thought, an opportunity arises.

[The virtual reality game 'SAO,' which combines virtual reality technology, is about to be released in its full version after closed beta testing! Players can fully immerse themselves in the game world using the NERvGear device!]

[Since I can't beat my older sister in other games, I'll prove it with SAO!]

I won't lose to my sister!

【Caution! ]

Only 1 copies of the game are available! You need to pre-register online to enter a lottery to win!

"Why does the SAO official website still require human verification...?"

It's troublesome as it may be.

After clicking the mouse for ages, Shiina Tatsuki started drawing lots to determine who would qualify...

【Ding--】

【Thanks for participating, meow.】

Each person has only one chance to register and participate.

Of course, there's also good news.

Your older sister, Shiina Maki, has been selected for SAO.

How could she not understand that her younger sister was interested in this game? So, by giving her sister her birthday present early, you gained the right to do so.

"elder sister……"

at this point.

She will also give it her all to become a master of SAO!

[The next day.]

[Helmet with built-in gaming device shipped.]

"This thing looks like a safety helmet..."

Out of the box.

Shiina Tatsuki complained.

What an ugly thing.

[Just put it on to participate, but the front end is hell, Ms. Shiina Tatsuki, be prepared.]

"It's just a game, there's nothing to worry about."

Shiina Tatsuki put on the gaming helmet.

[SAO, your consciousness has been loaded.]

Please edit your ID.

"Cat Bear".

anyway.

Surprisingly, Xia Mu was absent from this simulation.

Shiina Tatsuki felt a little uncomfortable.

Ps:

Book recommendation today.

Synopsis: I'm in a forbidden land, and my master is the famous Lone Bird, who can keep getting stronger just by eating!

Zhou Si elbowed his frail junior fellow apprentice to the ground, then looked at the commissions in his receptionist's hand with difficulty.

3-star lower-rank quest - Capture a red dragon cub.

Looking at the white-haired dragon girl lying in the snow, can you translate for me what "capture" means?

6-star high-rank quest 1: Hunt an unknown Fanged Wyvern.

Oh, that's easy. The Prison Bird is said to be a fun monster for long-range sword users. If the guild doesn't have any records, it might be a special subspecies?

What? The monster can speak human language? It says its name is Hu Lei?

Looking at the task board in the receptionist's hand, Zhou Si was bewildered. What was this task for?

Is this still Monster Hunter?

[Anime Crossover][Monster Hunter] (Main character is a humanoid golden gourd][People live to wield the katana)

After Simama disbanded in Chapter 283, Xia Mu also became a SAO player.

[Special simulation of "Sword Art Online" has been loaded.]

Your name is Xia Mu.

As you can see, what's popular in this world isn't bands, but games and esports teams!

And you remain a SVIP member of the Shimokitazawa Mental Hospital's annual membership program.

"Chief Tadokoro, I want to play video games, okay!"

[Chief Koji Tadokoro supports you and has provided you with the latest, most expensive, and best equipment available at the time. He just hopes you won't sneak out of the mental hospital alone.]

That year, you and your online friends Nanami Aoyama, Satone Shichimiya, Eriri, and Ruri Gokou formed the League of Legends team Simama, attempting to conquer the world.

The first team to face off is CryChic.

Your team was very strong, but unfortunately, all four teammates underperformed that day.

[Aoyama Nanami, the internet speed there is bad, and the connection keeps dropping.]

[Shichimiya Satomo was playing when her mom called her to dinner...]

Eriri, the player, is simply terrible at the game.

[Ruri Gokou, halfway through the game, was having a crazy laning session with the enemy AP Yasuo in the chat group...]

But at least AP Yasuo can use his abilities while typing! Are you just standing there like a punching bag for him?

After reviewing the situation.

Xia Mu suddenly understood.

This hastily assembled LoL team, like a pile of loose sand, disbanded the very next day.

Let's rewind to the present.

The virtual reality game SAO is about to launch its open beta, with only 1 slots available.

As expected, you didn't get that spot.

【don’t worry.】

[Director Koji Tadokoro's discretionary method.]

With so many people at Shimokitazawa Mental Hospital, if we try them one by one, we definitely have a chance!

Ultimately, you secured a spot.

"Why is it a Peppa Pig pink gaming helmet?"

After receiving the package from the game company, Xia Mu held it in his hand and weighed it in his hand; it was quite heavy.

[It might be a hidden edition...]

"O God, activate!"

Putting on the gaming helmet, Xia Mu entered the game.

Please edit your ID.

"husband."

【? 】

Are you serious?

"I've hit the jackpot! I'm getting the chance to be called 'husband' by all the beautiful female players on the server!"

[I also get yelled at by male players...]

"Damn! I forgot."

Just thinking about that scene would leave Xia Mu with a deep psychological shadow.

Shall we choose another one?

"Change! Change! Change! But it has to be registered under my real name online, and it has to reflect my personal style... It's decided, Xia Mumu!"

【…】

The simulator fell silent, hesitant to speak, and gave up on treatment.

OK.

"I've been grinding rabbits around Shilipo. Is it possible to reach the maximum level?"

【? 】

Theoretically, it's possible, but you don't have that much time.

[Bro, you really think you're some kind of immortal cultivator, huh?]

"Oh, the bunny is so cute, should we make it braised or spicy?"

This game is too realistic.
