Event 98: The Game of Death

"It really is a relief that we have the helmets at home and we will not use them, now we would be locked in a video game, which really is not such a bad idea if you look at it from another point of view" Haruta stretched out in the chair while speaking in voice high.

It had been a couple of days since the SAO incident, the hospital had been in full swing for the past two days moving the SAO players to start studies and find a way to get all the people out.

"Kayaba Akihiko was found dead in a cabin far from the city, he had a helmet attached to his head, it is presumed that he tried to scan his brain to the internet" Yamamoto showed images on television that was in the room, with the ability of Yamamoto In cybersecurity it is easy to use television as you please without mentioning that Haruta right now also has cybersecurity skills.

"The chances of Kayaba's plan succeeding are basically zero, but there is a remote chance that it would turn out as he predicted." Haruta was looking at the information on the screen as they both studied the data. "The question right now is what will he do? Now what is on the internet? "

"Well basically now your mind is data but it cannot just enter anywhere, it could be classified as a virus, in addition the data from a single phone would force it to collapse which does not leave much to do on the internet" Yamamoto mentioned while doing calculations

"It is much simpler than all that, Kayaba created a virtual world and locked 100,000 people inside, basically a new virtual civilization was created. Kayaba right now is in SAO living a new life, basically it is his own Isekai" Haruta river momentarily thinking about its possibility which to his liking had much more validity than others.

Yamamoto continued immersed in his computer reviewing information from all over the place "Bingo!"

"You finally made it"

"Of course I do, I have the list of the 100,000 owners of the nervegear and thanks to that I also have all the patients who were put in the hospital because of ODS" Yamamoto said happily while showing a list of data on television "Now we must wait for the comparative data to finish analyzing and then upload it to my website so that the world knows about ODS "

Yamamoto let out a devilish little laugh as there was a loading bar on the television showing progress.

"Sigh ..." Haruta sighed with his arms crossed, his mind wandered into memories when he did the SAO test before 'The system said it was a pocket dimension, I have to sacrifice 1000 SP to use it or try to get trapped there '

While his mind wandered in his thoughts Yamamoto was already reviewing the data, classifying everything to upload it to his website.

Yamamoto's greedy laugh could be heard from the hallway so the nurses just looked out the window at what was happening but no one understood.

"Hey Haruta, here in the hospital you already have several people playing SAO"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes, in the room that follows there is a boy named Kazuto Kirigaya, we could get some information about the situation there" Yamamoto said persuading Haruta to go to the room

Haruta only scratched the back of his head while complaining "You really are annoying ..." as Haruta walked, he activated the camouflage ability to enter the indicated room without anyone seeing him.

Inside the room he could see a young man on the stretcher connected to the helmet and several machines monitoring the young man's condition.

Haruta took out his phone to take a picture of the young man and take it to Yamamoto, took a picture of the connected helmet.

"...." Haruta slightly reached his hand to the young man's helmet with curiosity "hmm ...?"

[If you remove the helmet the subject tied to the pocket dimension will lose the connection of his mind and all bodily functions will stop working!]

'So if it is true that by removing the helmet the person loses his life' said Haruta in his mind, soon a young woman with black hair opened the door and rushed in, she was still wearing the school uniform so it was presumed that she had just returned of classes

"Onii-chan" the young woman muttered under her breath as she took a seat next to the young man's stretcher.

Haruta turned around and left the room to quickly return to Yamamoto whom he could see with a worried expression looking at the screen.

In the city there was more than one hospital, far from the hospital Yamamoto was being treated at, in a private hospital, upstairs on the top floor of the building was a luxurious room that was only illuminated by moonlight.

On the stretcher lay a brown-haired beauty connected to various machines that monitor her vital signs, while on her head was the helmet that right now was the subject of the moment, she was connected to the nervegear and trapped within the immersive world of SAO.

The window to one side of the gurney was open and the gentle breeze was coming in slowly, right between the gurney and the gurney, Haruta was standing watching the young woman with a look full of pity.

"Asuna ..." Haruta muttered touching the chestnut's hand.

Asuna lay asleep on the stretcher with no signs of waking up, Haruta on the other hand could only press hard on her fist to the point that her nails broke the palm of her hand.

The hand that previously held Asuna's hand went to the helmet but as before the message appeared

[If you remove the helmet the subject tied to the pocket dimension will lose the connection of her mind and all bodily functions will stop working!]

Feeling the helplessness of being unable to do anything, Haruta sat on the chair massaging the hundred in annoyance, he stood there for several minutes holding Asuna's hand.

'If I had played my part as her boyfriend accordingly I could have saved all of this, let her deal with her family alone and now she is trapped here' Haruta took all the events in her mind with annoyance.

He laid his head on Asuna's hand while her eyes stayed closed. 'I have to do something, I have to get her out of that place, I cannot allow her to die in there, I cannot leave her alone, I cannot allow myself to fail her. No, I can't fail her again, I'll make sure I get her out of that game. '

Haruta raised her head showing the blue eyes characteristic of her personality as Aahrtu, got up from the place, walked to the window and launched herself without fear.

Using the [Hero's Fall] ability, Haruta's landing was safe and did no damage.

In Haruta's mind right now there was only SAO
