A phenomenon-level game like SAO could never have such a simple glitch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, this never happened during the beta test.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the other calm players, Kirito now felt his unease growing stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe it’s exactly as I said—this is the game developer’s opening ceremony.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They just didn’t mention it in the announcement because they wanted to surprise us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Shengzai or Kirito could respond to Klein’s words, someone else answered his question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Information boxes, like red bricks, rapidly spread and enveloped the entire square.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, a towering figure clad in a red robe appeared in midair—its face completely obscured, resembling a grim reaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is indeed a grand ceremony prepared for you—but not the welcome you imagined. It is a true death invitation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me introduce myself: my name is Kayaba Akihiko, the developer of this game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many of you have probably noticed—your logout button is gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I want to say: this is the true rule of SAO. Players cannot voluntarily exit the game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If anyone outside forcibly disconnects the helmet, it will instantly emit high-power microwaves, destroying the brain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The only way to leave here is to successfully clear all one hundred floors of Aincrad and defeat the final boss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many naturally doubted Kayaba Akihiko’s words, but he quickly produced overwhelming evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stated that 213 people had ignored warnings and removed their helmets—and were now dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>News of their deaths was already spreading wildly in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the news projection released by Kayaba Akihiko, many players who had still entertained ideas of resistance now dared not move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So we just need to clear all one hundred floors of the Sky Tower, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearing all one hundred floors of the Sky Tower was no easy task—during the beta, the highest floor any player had reached was only the eighth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the beta tester who asked this question was not discouraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew well that players in the game world were like the Fourth Catastrophe; no matter how difficult the dungeon, with “immortality,” clearing it was only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of public test players now far exceeded the beta numbers—beta players took a month to reach floor eight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many players here now, clearing all one hundred floors would take at most a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, I can guarantee this: once you clear all one hundred floors, I will return you to your original time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I must remind you: in this game, if your HP drops to zero, the helmet will again emit microwaves and destroy your brain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Kayaba Akihiko’s words, the beta testers who had still held some confidence now shattered mentally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell! This is clearly just forcing us to die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! Die in-game, die in real life—this is just a one-life Tongguan !”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the flood of player curses, Kayaba Akihiko paid no attention, continuing calmly: “I already said this is a true death game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you truly treat this as just a game, what’s the point of trapping you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Before I go, here’s a little gift for you—and I wish you all a pleasant game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished speaking, the towering grim reaper claiming to be Kayaba Akihiko vanished from midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after he disappeared did every player in the square find a mirror in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the mirror’s light, every player revealed their true selves—returning to their real-world appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Handsome guys turned into fat nerds; once-cute girls became scruffy, hairy men—purely a massive online dating disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirito and Klein beside Shengzai were no exception—soon they transformed into a youthful-looking boy and a weathered, middle-aged office worker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai, however, held his mirror and kept adjusting it—his face showed no change at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mirror given by Kayaba Akihiko was a one-time-use item and vanished after use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its effect needed no further explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Shengzai entered the game in his true appearance, the “Mirror of Truth” did not activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the mirror in his hand, Shengzai recalled that Kayaba Akihiko later seemed to have created an alt account and blended into the player base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the question was—if he gave this mirror to Kayaba later, would it expose his true form?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to most players who suffered instant social death, Kirito and his group’s appearance changes were still within acceptable limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Klein, now transformed from a charismatic gentleman into a slumped, weary office worker, saw Shengzai unchanged, he stared in shock: “Wait, why are you the only one who didn’t revert?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s his real face. Shengzai didn’t modify his facial model at all when entering the game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Kirito’s words, Klein groaned in disbelief: “Wait, this is so unfair! If I remember right, you said this guy won the sword fighting championship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Being young and talented is one thing—but he’s even hotter than the face I designed? Is that even fair?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Klein’s stunned expression, Kirito walked over, patted his shoulder, and said he understood completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he, Kirito, had felt this exact pain for years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But aren’t there more important things to focus on right now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Like the leveling zone Kirito took us to earlier—limited nearby resources will be fought over by many players, won’t they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai’s words made Kirito pause, then quickly nod: “You’re right. Resources in the Xinshoucun  are limited—if we don’t move fast, someone else will get there first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai’s words made Kirito pause for a moment, then he quickly nodded: “That’s right—the resources in the starting village are limited; if we don’t hurry there now, someone else will get there first!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",978,"2026-06-19T15:18:33.595Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0114eb91dc4c460057d3e98147d6d1da181c9d93f461067e2b0a0e3724f5847e","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-11","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-9",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
