Event 55: A rare day (3)

"Are you ready?" Kayaba asked attentively to a Haruta who was now in a metal bed connected to several machines that measure his physical state, in Haruta's head was the nevergear which led cables to screens in the upper part of the room.

Haruta nodded to the words of Kayaba who was next to him "Haruta listen to me, when you enter SAO you will use a character made by default so it is not necessary that you create it from scratch, also it is not necessary that you use a name, what I want you to do is travel the world, show our viewers all that SAO has to offer, correct? " Kayaba gave clear instructions for the test, Haruta just nodded again to leave Kayaba alone "well, close your eyes and say the phrase 'link start' the voice recognition will be the one who does the rest of the work"

"Good," he returned, ended up attending again, Kayaba positioned himself next to him while talking to the audience. "Link start" Haruta said in a soft voice while his eyes were closed.

The darkness within him soon enveloped with white light as multiple colored beams rushed towards him with speed, soon the light filled everything in his sight blinding for a minute.

When Haruta was able to open his eyes again he was standing, Haruta looked at his hands making small movements, he observed his surroundings, he was in what seemed to be a large arena with no person in the vicinity.

[The host is in a pocket space outside the corresponding reality using artificial devices, the system will begin to analyze the host's body and adapt to the situation]

[Pocket space seems to work with a system that resembles GAFS]

[Any experience perceived in the pocket space will be added to the host's statistics]

"Three announcements, it seems that SAO is perceived as a pocket space that is to say a kind of subsidiary world, I suppose it is as if it were the space inside a box, it depends directly on reality but it follows its own rules ... what good is that everything I do here will be a support for my statistics "said Haruta with a small smile as he began to walk.

(Haruta-kun, here Kayaba now you can listen to us and you can talk to us, I recommend that you take a walk around the city to make everyone see it, while you can tell us about your experience) Kayaba from outside again gave instructions for Haruta to start to use the time within SAO.

"It's kind of weird if you ask me, I can move like I'm in real life but I can't feel many things, I guess this is the difference between the real and the fictional world" said Haruta starting to run through the city "Like it is a virtual world my body has a very different condition than the real world this must be affected by statistics, in real life I can move much faster with less effort this can create a bit of stress being the first time I use it "

Outside SAO everyone was listening carefully to what Haruta was saying and seeing what he was doing in-game.

(Haruta-kun in the character's inventory there is enough money to buy potions, armor and weapons for combat, I suggest you head to the shops to appreciate the items) Kayaba instructed making Haruta nod.

Haruta moved his hand up and down displaying a menu of options, he particularly noticed two options, one of which was at the end of the menu "What happens if my helmet is removed from the outside?" Haruta asked doubtfully.

(The connection will only be lost by directly leaving the game, your character may lose data or experience but it will not be anything serious, on the other hand the player's health will not be in danger) explained Kayaba carefully answering Haruta's doubts.

Haruta came to the store where he bought potions, a simple armor for newbies and a simple sword "Well, I guess this is all I can do," Haruta said as he left the store and headed towards the outskirts of the city to test the characteristics of the game in battle.

By the time he reached the grasslands outside the early city, he wandered around a bit before encountering some enemies, "a boar?" Haruta asked looking at the boar in front of him, an animal that can be found in the real world only that it had bright red eyes and its fur was blue "I suppose this will be the first" said Haruta pulling out his sword out of its holster while pointing at the boar.

(If you have problems moving you can use the predetermined movements it is not necessary that you take risks at first)

"Well you are right if I play with the predetermined movements in the beginning then I can tell you about the differences between the two" said Haruta starting his fight against the boar, the movements were systematic, as if he were a practitioner of the art of the sword.

For the second enemy, Haruta put aside the predetermined movements and fought as he pleased, he began turning on the ground cutting the leg of the boar and then continued with his back to finish in less effort than using systematic movements.

"For a person who never used his body to fight I think it is better, the systematic movement where the SAO system moves the player's body against his will, on the other hand the natural movement allows to be freer when fighting but you can make mistakes if you are not used to the movements "Haruta said throwing a few lunges into the air.

(Thanks Haruta-kun, you can use the exit option to leave SAO) Kayaba said to finish the SAO test at the hands of Haruta.

[The system was successfully adapted]

[Pocket dimension: Sword Art Online]

[Terms used were adapted]

[Combined options menu]

[Skill Acquired: Rank C Swordsman Apprentice]

[Statistics cannot be real they cannot be adapted in the system unless SAO is forced to a modification]

[Do you want to overwrite the ODS data? (cost: 1000 SP)]

[Yes / No]

Haruta looked at all the system announcements in front of him "Force a modification .... for the moment I doubt it will be useful, but perhaps in the future it will be an option" said Haruta pressing the option to exit SAO.
