Chapter 49: The Beginning of the Death Game

The next day .

Knock*

Knock*

Knock*

Akira was awakened by the sound of a knock on the apartment door early in the morning.

"Who?" Akira asked using the apartment's internal phone.

"XXX Delivery Company, you have a package sir" - the voice of the delivery company operator answering Akira's question came out.

"Wait a minute" - Saying this Akira hung up, went inside, picked up a pen and walked out.

"Come in." Akira opened the door and let the workers in.

"Please sign here, sir," said the delivery man, handing Akira a stylus and a tablet.

Akira hid the pen he brought with some embarrassment because he thought it would be like his world.

Akira picked up the pen and tablet from the operator and signed a receipt for 5 VR headsets with a SAO game for each helmet.

"Thank you for dealing with us" - Saying this, the workers walked out of the apartment, leaving Akira alone.

It was 8 in the morning and everyone was asleep, even Rimuru because with their power seal they were like normal humans and needed to rest.

Akira didn't know what to do and eventually decided to create his own character in the game so that the server would be opened after two hours.

Akira opened the helmet box and took it out with the game and sat down on the sofa. When he wanted to play the game, he interrupted a notification on his phone.

[Do you want to associate with the SAO system?]

[Yes/No]

"..." - Akira was puzzled by this notification but pressed "Yes".

[ Connecting ... Error ... Try Again ... Error ... Retry ... Error ... Error ... Error ]

[Scanning the host for the reason... it was detected that the host already owns a subsystem]

[ The host needs the SAO subsystem to complete tasks... Looking for a solution... ]

"…" Akira felt a bit of a headache seeing all these notifications pop up on the phone screen.

[2 solutions found]

[ Do you want to get rid of the SAO link subsystem ]

[Yes/No]

Akira pressed "No" without hesitation because it was impossible for him to abandon the {Evil Fate} system.

[Solution 1 rejected, moving to solution 2]

[APTX-4869 protocol enabled]

[The "SAO" system is being merged with the {Evil Fate} system]

[Consolidating ... 1% ... 2% ... 3% ... 4% ... 5% ]

"..." - Akira silently looked at his phone screen and the floating screen in front of him which both displayed the same content.

The progress of the fusion was so slow that Akira could only sit silently staring at the screen.

_

after an hour and thirty minutes .

At this time, Akira went to breakfast, shower, and watch TV, and the fusion was not over yet.

But it looks like it's about to end which is good instead of waiting any longer.

[In progress ... 98% .. 99% ... 100%]

[Ding, the {Evil Fate} system has gained new functions.]

[A settlement option has been acquired]

[Acquired stock option]

[Friends list option has been acquired]

[Message option obtained]

[Quest option acquired]

[Job option (main, sub) has been obtained]

[Login/Logout option obtained]

(Author's Note: This option is for logging into Aincrad, and everyone who wakes up as a player will have the SAO system to enter Aincrad with their bodies without the need for a helmet)

[Guild option acquired]

[Party option has been acquired]

[The option to drop items has been acquired]

[Map option added]

"..." - When the system notification finished, a few things appeared in Akira's vision.

One of them was the health bar, and below it was the stamina bar and the username.

[ Please enter your account name ]

"…" - Akira pondered for a while and decided to go with the Gilgamesh name.

[Name registered successfully]

[Ding, you have obtained the skill 'Self-Regeneration']

"What are you doing looking at the air?" Shin's just-awakened voice came out.

"Look at the SAO system," Akira replied, looking at Shin.

"SAO system?" Shin asked with obvious bewilderment.

"Let's wake the others up and I'll explain it," said Akira and got up and headed upstairs with Shin.

_

"And that's it" - it was Akira explaining to everyone besides Asuna who just came over.

"Then all we have to do is grab the helmet of the game and we will get a system like the heroes of the novels" - Rimuru asked, his eyes shining slightly.

"That's right." Akira nodded at Rimuru's question — "Do it quickly, there's not much left until the launch of the game servers."

Everyone did as Akira told them and the same notification arrived on all their phones.

Everyone pressed "Yes" under Akira's sinister look.

"..." - Akira was looking at this with amusement because he wanted to see them wait an hour and a half like what happened to him.

"It's true," Rimuru exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the options that appeared before him. "There's even a health and stamina bar."

"That's right" - the others nodded as they curiously examined their new perspective.

"!!!" - Akira was surprised by the speed of the engagement, unlike what happened with him.

Akira wanted to complain but stopped when he saw how dark it was and heard a voice in the sky.

And there was a big notice hanging in the sky.

[ SAO servers are activated all over the world ]
