"Start connecting!"
When this system command came out of Rozen's mouth, the game console on his head was activated.
The hazy light that passed through his tightly shut eyelids instantly disappeared.
The information received by his optic nerves was blocked, allowing complete darkness to surround Rozen.
After a while, a rainbow-like light immediately appeared in front of him, and within the light, a window popped up.
These windows were all used to determine whether or not there was a nerve signal connected to the brain region. Only when all of them passed through could the connection be confirmed and the player descend into the imaginary world.
Therefore, on each window, "OK" signs began to flash, telling Rozen that the nerves in his brain were successfully connected.
Thus, the solemn startup music began to ring in his ears.
Therefore, the feeling of lying on the bed and the weight began to disappear.
When the final "OK" finally flashed, Rozen appeared in a dark space full of sci-fi style.
"Welcome to Alfheim.
The world of Online. "
A rather gentle female voice conveyed the message of welcome to the game.
Rozen knew what this phenomenon meant.
This was a process that players who did not have a character profile had to go through when they first entered the game. In other words, they had to go through the system's prompts and guidance to create their characters.
Therefore, at the height of Rozen's chest, a virtual keyboard flashing with blue and white light appeared.
"Please enter your account number and password."
Hearing this, Rozen pondered for a while, then quickly entered the account that he had been using since the SAO era on the virtual keyboard and clicked "Confirm".
"Please enter your character name and gender."
Without hesitation, Rozen entered the character name "Rozen" into the virtual keyboard and selected male.
"Please choose your race. Choose one of the nine races below."
In the sky in front of Rozen, figures appeared one after another.
It was an image of the appearance and characteristics of the nine races in ALO. One by one, it rotated, waiting for Rozen to make his choice.
And Rozen's target was right in front of him — a young man with light green insect-like wings and golden hair.
That was the image of a Wind Spirit.
Of course, not all Wind Elves looked like this.
All the players' appearances were randomly generated. Only some of their characteristics were consistent. For example, they all had fairy-like ears and wings. However, the details were different depending on the race.
For example, Wind Elves tended to be more handsome, Fire Elves tended to be more boorish, Cat Demons tended to be more cute, and so on and so forth. Every race had different wings and hair colors.
Moreover, after a character's appearance was created, it couldn't be changed unless one paid for it. Otherwise, there were very few rare items that could satisfy this requirement.
As for their appearance, Rozen didn't really care, so he immediately chose the Wind Elf race.
"Selection ended."
"Randomly generated character appearance."
[As you have chosen the Wind Elf race, you will be transported to the capital of the Wind Elf Territory.]
"Good luck."
As the voice faded, the space around Rozen lit up completely.
.....
Alpheim.
This is a next-generation flying model called ALfheim.
Online's stage, the continent with the meaning of Elven Kingdom.
Just like the main stage of SAO was the floating city called Aincrad, in ALO, Alpheim was the stage of the game.
On this continent, it could be roughly divided into eight areas.
In each area, there was the capital of the Wind Elf race, which also had a special appearance and racial culture.
For example, in the Wind Elf's territory, in addition to the grassland area, there was also a large ancient forest. The environment of the territory mostly consisted of these two types of environments.
Each of the major races had their own territory, and on this continent called Alpheim, they fought to their heart's content.
That was the world of ALO.
Meanwhile, in the capital of the Wind Elves' territory, in a town called Siiluban, many Wind Elves were active in every corner of the town. Some were going back and forth between various shops, some were having fun and chatting, and some were flying into the sky, scattering in all directions. It was a very lively scene.
As one of the most popular races among the nine major races, as the capital of the Wind Elf's territory, Siluban had another name – Emerald City.
The town as a whole was composed of tall and thin spires.
There were complex air corridors connecting the spires.
Although the color of the whole town was different, all of them were shining with emerald green light.
The appearance of these buildings floating in the night sky could only be described as fantastic, especially the Lord's Hall, which was located in the depths of the town. Its magnificence was no less than any building in Alpheim.
In such a small area in such a town, a figure appeared with a flash of light similar to the teleportation phenomenon in SAO.
It was a boy who looked only about sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was not short. He was wearing the equipment of the early stage of the Wind Elf. He had a pair of pointed ears, light green wings, and bright golden hair. He looked more like a young scholar than an elf.
Seeing the appearance of this young man, the surrounding Wind Elves turned their heads.
"There's a new guy."
"He looks handsome and intellectual. I'm so envious."
"Yeah, I don't know if his appearance is randomly generated or paid."
"Yeah, I wonder if his appearance is randomly generated or paid."
"Yeah."
People said such things, but they were not surprised by the young man's appearance.
Hearing such voices, the young man slowly opened his eyes.
Looking closely, the young man's eyes were emerald-like emerald green.
After looking around, the young man said in amazement.
"Is this ALO?"
It was indeed a completely different fantasy style from SAO, but compared to SAO, it didn't feel any worse.
At least, Rozen could clearly feel the majestic feeling of the wind, and the feeling of his hair swaying slightly in the wind. This feeling was more real than the real world. Only SAO could give people such a feeling.
"A game that can be compared to SAO, it really deserves its reputation."
So Rozen smiled, then waved his left hand from top to bottom, and with a melodious sound effect, the main window of the game was summoned.
The operation in this aspect was exactly the same as in SAO, the only difference was that the command to summon the main window could only be done with the right hand in ALO, while in ALO, it could be done with the left hand.
In addition, the design style of this game's main window was exactly the same as in SAO, only some details were different.
For example, the top of the main window showed the familiar name "Rozen" and the race of "Wind Elves", and the bottom was the HP bar, but the level and experience bars were missing. At the same time, there was an extra MP bar, which proved that this world was different from SAO, and it was possible to use magic.
The character's ability values were also very simple. There were no values like 'Strength' or 'Agility' in SAO. This proved that the character's ability wasn't that important in this world. What was important was the player's skills.
As for the skills …
"This is …"
When Rozen clicked on the skill bar, the scene that appeared in front of him made him startled at first, and then he was stunned.
