The main menu that appeared under the effect of the bell had two parts.
On the left was the menu tab that could be clicked, such as the item bar, the skill bar, the system settings, and so on. As long as the player tapped on the menu, they could browse and choose.
On the right was the outline of a humanoid figure that could display the current item and equipment status. It was called the Equipment Doll. If the player clicked on the relevant parts of the doll, such as the hands, then the player could choose the weapon to equip or unequip. Of course, the prerequisite was that the equipment was in the item bar.
Currently, only the body part of Rozen's Equipment Doll had equipment, which was the simple cloth armor that he was wearing. It didn't have high defense and didn't have any additional effects. It was a free equipment in the early stage of the game.
As for weapons, Rozen had to go to the weapon shop to buy them.
In the early stage of the game, every character could get a currency called "Cor" as the starting capital, which was the so-called Game Coin.
In Aincrad, these game coins were the universal currency and were used in all sorts of places.
If the player used the Game Coin as the starting capital to go to the weapon shop, he could buy the weapon he needed to fight monsters, earn Exp, level up, or collect the drops of monsters.
Of course, Rozen also had the same amount of funds as other players, and he wouldn't get any preferential treatment just because he was a beta tester. After all, SAO was very fair in this regard.
If he wanted to earn more money, he would have to fight various monsters and complete various quests. If he was lucky, he would be able to open a Treasure Chest with rare items or obtain items from defeated monsters and resell them. That was a good opportunity to strike it rich.
By the way, in SAO, Players could only increase STR (Strength), AGI (Agility), HP limit, and the number of slots used to use skills.
In addition, every time a Player leveled up, they could get a certain amount of Free Attribute Points, which could be used to increase STR (Strength) and AGI (Agility). The allocation of Free Attribute Points would determine the Player's position.
For example, during the closed beta, this guy mainly used AGI (Agility) as a speed type, so it should be the same this time, right?
On the contrary, Rozen's position was a bit unclear.
After all, in the entire SAO, there's probably no one who can use Rozen's Battle Mode and positioning, right?
Without further ado, Rozen was preparing to add Kazuto as a friend, then race against time to go to the place he wanted.
"I hope it's still there …"
Rozen secretly thought in his heart while he was about to request a friend request from Kazufuru.
In the next second, a window flashed in front of He Ren.
"Player" Rozen "has sent you a friend request. Do you accept?"
At the bottom of this window, the options of "Yes" and "No" appeared.
Kazuto pressed the "Yes" button without hesitation.
Then, a window popped up in front of Rozen.
"Player" Kirito "has become your friend."
Looking at the character name displayed on the window, Rozen said somewhat unhappily.
"So you're still using this character name, Kirito."
It was indeed nothing new.
In the real world, Kazuto's name was Kirigaya Kazuto.
Kazuto's current character names were just abbreviations of his real name. What new meaning could there be?
To this, Kazuto also refuted.
"Didn't you also use the character name from the closed beta? And I still don't know why you used this name, Rozen. "
Of course, it's because this is my real name, idiot.
Rozen, who just criticized others for using the abbreviation of their real name, didn't have the slightest awareness. He checked the only name on his friend list and then hid the main menu.
"Okay, I'm going to do that thing. If you want to go to the training area, call me, Kazuto."
Hearing this, Kazuto nodded without any objection.
"Then I'll go to the weapon store first. Don't forget to bring the things you need. Otherwise, as a closed beta tester, it would be too embarrassing to be killed by a level 1 monster in the wild on the first day of the game, Aoga."
Hearing this sentence, Rozen curled his lips.
"In this world, please call me by my character name."
That's all Rozen could say.
"Then you should also call me by my character name."
Kazuto … No, Kirito also said the same.
"Got it."
After leaving such a careless sentence, Rozen waved his hand, once again exerted a speed that couldn't be seen in the real world, and flew in another direction.
Watching Rozen gradually leave, Kirito had a look of envy in his eyes.
"If only I could also have" that "."
Unfortunately, Kirito also tried, but he couldn't smoothly obtain the target like Rozen.
"I'd better improve my sword skills."
Kirito shook his head, and then immediately exerted the strength of his legs, running in the direction of the weapon store.
… …
Less than half an hour after the game started, many players were still exploring in the town and did not run into the wild.
The only people who would run out of the wilderness at this time were those who rushed to the weapon shop, bought weapons, and were ready to level up crazily during the closed beta period.
Of course, Rozen could also be regarded as a game madman, but he didn't run into the wild for leveling up.
"I hope that's still there …"
Rozen just kept muttering like this as he rushed out of the gate of the Town of Beginnings.
After leaving the Town of Beginnings, a vast grassland appeared in front of him that spread in all directions.
There was a forest in the north of the grassland, a lake in the south, the wall of the Town of Beginnings in the east, and the infinite sky and clouds dyed gold in the west.
Aincrad was a giant city formed by 100 floors stacked together, showing a pyramid-like structure.
In other words, the higher the floor, the smaller the area of the floor.
On the other hand, the lowest level of Aincrad was the most expansive in the world.
According to the information, the diameter of the first floor of Aincrad was ten kilometers.
And Rozen's destination was located in the forest north of the Town of Beginnings.
If he wanted to go there, he would have to cross several kilometers of grassland.
If it was in the real world, it would be a difficult challenge for Rozen without the help of a Tamed Monster.
But in this world, although the player character had a hidden Stamina value, it depended on the player's Stamina.
If the player moved or exercised in a way that exceeded the current Stamina value, then the Stamina value would decrease, causing the player to feel "tired".
In other words, as long as the speed of running did not exceed the limit of the Stamina value, then the Stamina value would not decrease too much, and it could support Rozen to reach the forest a few kilometers away.
However, before that …
"Wuji!"
A strange sound came into Rozen's ears, causing Rozen to stop.
Then, Rozen saw a wild boar with blue fur and red eyes.
Not far in front of him, a wild boar with blue fur and red eyes appeared.
The buoy on the screen was red.
The name was – "Manic Boar".
There was no doubt that it was a monster.
A level 1 monster.
Looking at the wild boar that was glaring at him, Rozen hesitated for a while and then decided.
