Chapter 36: Beginning

Naoki Kirigaya ignored the juice splashing on his body and stabbed directly with the sword in his hand.

A cold light flashed, and the sword body directly pierced through the opponent.

But even so, it was still struggling. The man-eating flower's HP was still a bit thick after all. Naoki Kirigaya exerted a little force on his feet, and the range of its struggle was reduced by a few points.

He stabbed out three swords expressionlessly, and only then did he solve the opponent.

At the same time, a strong sense of dizziness hit his heart.

Naoki Kirigaya frowned, and he rubbed his aching eyebrows. He was a person with strong mental strength, and he wouldn't just faint.

He glanced at the mana bar. At this time, his mana bar had been completely emptied, and the violent power had also receded like a tide.

[Your level has been raised to level seven]

[System prompt: You have comprehended ???]

[???]

[Active skill: Increases your own attributes in all aspects with the injected magic power. The degree of increase depends on the total amount of injected magic power.]

Naoki Kirigaya thought for a while and named the skill Berserk.

After resting in place for five minutes, a blue light suddenly enveloped Naoki Kirigaya.

Forced teleportation.

A smile appeared on the corner of Naoki Kirigaya's mouth, and he murmured, "Is it finally starting?"

It was still the familiar square, and players appeared one by one in the wide square.

This was the Town of Beginnings.

While the crowd wasn't dense yet, Naoki Kirigaya quickly looked around for Asuna and Kazuto Kirigaya.

As the blue light increased, a large number of players appeared in the square.

The game's melodious BGM was transmitted to the players' ears with a breeze.

The fact proved that if there was background music in reality, people's mood would improve by several levels.

Naoki Kirigaya looked around and finally saw a black-haired uncle in a corner.

He stepped forward and grabbed the other party, looked at the other party's ID, and Naoki Kirigaya smiled: "You still haven't changed, you're still using this name."

Kazuto Kirigaya was wondering who had grabbed him, and when he turned around, he saw his eldest brother.

He ignored his eldest brother's teasing words and said directly: "Brother, haven't you noticed anything unusual yet?"

Naoki Kirigaya restrained his smile and thought to himself that he had already been transformed from a pile of data into a flesh and blood body.

Seeing Naoki Kirigaya like this, Kazuto Kirigaya said: "I guess you also know that the logout button has disappeared."

Naoki Kirigaya comforted: "It should be a bug."

Kazuto Kirigaya sighed and said: "If it's a bug, this game may face some bad reviews. I had such high expectations for this game."

Naoki Kirigaya looked at the young man in front of him. Kazuto Kirigaya didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem yet.

After chatting with the young man casually, he glanced at the giant skeleton holding a scythe, Mito, who was standing next to him without saying a word. Naoki Kirigaya showed a meaningful smile, patted Kazuto Kirigaya on the shoulder, and smiled: "I'm going to find Asuna, you guys talk."

As the crowd in the square became denser, it became a bit troublesome for Naoki Kirigaya to find someone.

However, every time he passed a place, many players focused their attention on him.

A handsome face, almost perfect facial features, a high nose bridge, and a pair of sword eyebrows made the young man even more heroic. A pair of crimson golden eyes were bright and energetic, and because the young man had been practicing swordsmanship for a long time, Naoki Kirigaya always had some sharp temperament.

The young man was wearing a coarse linen cloth, which was just the equipment given by the novice. Obviously everyone wore the same thing, but it was very different on the young man. A head of bright and dazzling short hair, with a middle part in the bangs on his forehead, revealed the young man's handsome appearance. He was an extremely handsome man.

In Japanese society, basically the three views follow the five senses. Faced with such a young man, even in the game, those girls were moved, and the young man's temperament had a fatal attraction to those girls who had never seen the world.

Even more male players approached, requesting Naoki Kirigaya to reveal the secret of face pinching.

Naoki Kirigaya had a cold expression. He looked around and said lightly: "I'm looking for someone, please let me pass."

The girl was teased by the young man's cold expression and was a little blushing. The male players were whispering next to him. Naoki Kirigaya had good ears and roughly heard the content of the players' discussions.

"What's the use of looking good in the game? In reality, he might be a fat NEET."

"That's right, that's right."

Ha, Naoki Kirigaya shook his head, ignored the sour players, and finally found Asuna, who had a confused look on her face, in a corner.

She was just standing there blankly.

Seeing Naoki Kirigaya was like seeing a savior, and she grabbed the young man.

Asuna said with a serious face: "Naoki, I found that the logout button has disappeared."

Naoki Kirigaya nodded.

Seeing the young man so calm, Asuna was a little anxious. She whispered: "It's almost seven o'clock now, and my mother will definitely scold me when she comes back."

Naoki Kirigaya shook his head, sighing that even the grown-up Asuna was still afraid of her mother.

Although Asuna hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, Naoki Kirigaya didn't want to discourage Asuna and comforted: "It's okay, it should be a bug."

It's just that Asuna still had a bitter face.

He led her to Naoki Kirigaya's side. As the number of players increased, the square gradually became noisy.

After all, there were quite a few players who had discovered the abnormality, and many people had discovered that the logout button had disappeared.

Noisy voices began to come from various places, and the volume gradually increased. He kept hearing words like "What's going on?", "Can I log out like this?", "Let me log out quickly!" in his ears.

After a while, the noise of the crowd began to have an anxious atmosphere, and he began to hear angry Roas like "Don't joke around!" and "GM, get out here!".

Suddenly, someone's shout suppressed these noisy voices.

"Ah… look up!"

Kazuto Kirigaya subconsciously looked up and saw a wonderful sight.

One hundred meters above the ground, at the bottom of the second floor, a layer of bright red checkerboard pattern was dyed.

If you look closely, you can find that the pattern is formed by two English words arranged alternately. As for the two words written in bright red font, they are [warning] and [systemannou].

'Is this the GM?' Kazuto Kirigaya fell into deep thought. This was the first time he had seen a GM in reality.

The red pattern covering the entire sky, its central part was like a drop of very thick giant blood, slowly dripping down. But the blood didn't drip to the ground, but suddenly changed shape in mid-air.

What appeared there was a giant with a height of nearly twenty meters, wearing a dark red cloak.

He revealed the face in the hat that was pulled very low - but that part had no face, it was a void, and you could even clearly see the inside of the hat and the seams of the edges. And inside the long drooping hem, it was also just a slight darkness.
