There is no system for the anime, so I have to work hard on my own.

What is a dream?

Is it the hope and aspiration in one's youth, or the yearning and pursuit for the future, or a specific goal, an ideal state of life.

However, no matter what the dream is, there are very few people who always hold on to the dream and keep moving forward.

Because in real life, people are often troubled by various real pressures and challenges, and gradually lose their youthful dreams.

The trivialities and troubles of life gradually make them lose their original intentions, let their dreams be stained with dust, and finally buried deep in their memories.

Even at a certain moment, a certain picture brought them excitement, created ripples in their memories, and awakened those forgotten dreams from the dust.

However, the beauty imagined in youth and the longing for the future have to produce a strong sense of separation from the heaviness of reality, causing people to hesitate, struggle, and reminisce, and finally leaving only a helpless sigh.

They were ultimately trapped in the quagmire of dreams and reality. But Kayaba Akihiko was different.

Even as he grew up, he discovered that the so-called other world only existed in novels and anime.

Even though everyone thought his dream was a joke.

Even so, his dream, as its name suggests, is illusory and vague, and cannot be pursued.

However, he, Kayaba Akihiko, never gave up.

Since there is no other world, can't I just create one myself?

Even if it was fake, it didn't matter. He thought so and put in countless efforts for it. Finally, Sword Art Online, a world completely controlled by him, was born.

It was so beautiful, so unreal, like a dream. At the same time, it also made Kayaba Akihiko feel a pang of sadness. Virtual is still virtual after all. No matter how realistic or exquisite the design, players will not regard it as another world. It is just a game, and it can only be a game.

How sad!

It should be perfect!

It shouldn't be considered a game!

It should be a different world full of joys and sorrows, life and death.

Even if it means risking his own life, he would not hesitate.

As a result, he trapped nearly 10,000 players in the game, and if they died in the game, they would also die in reality.

From this moment on, under the pressure of death and with the players' actions, and with their lives at stake, the world finally came alive and became what they expected.

In a sense, his dream came true. He looked at the players struggling to survive, the endless grassland, the wild boars and wolves running non-stop, and the floor boss who was quietly waiting on the strategy floor.

However, he also failed.

Because this world has welcomed people who should not exist. They can no longer be called human beings. They are the gods of the game world!

However, this is not a big deal, as long as the game can continue, because when he trapped the players in the game, he anticipated his own end.

And now, the time is just a little bit advanced!

Isn't it because dreams, like dreams, are so illusory that they captivate people? Since it's a dream, there will be a day when we wake up. This is only natural, right?

And now, it was just his dream, and he woke up!

that is it!

He sat upright on the throne, looking down at the people below. His arrogant attitude was as if he was a god who dominated the world, looking down on ants in the human world with such disdain and contempt, which made those players feel angry.

They were angry and unwilling, but they had to accept the reality. They really did not have the qualifications to be taken seriously, because their level, in the eyes of those who were confronting them, was not even cannon fodder.

Kayaba Akihiko ignored the players' comments. He looked at Sora, Shiro, and Katsuragi Keima, his tone complex, filled with regret and emotion: "I never thought the final battle would come so soon!"

Sora glanced at Katsuragi Keima beside him, shrugged, and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it. This guy is holding on so tightly. If we don't hurry up, we won't be able to keep our first place."

I punched my little fist and echoed, "Blank absolutely cannot lose!"

Katsuragi Keima snorted in dissatisfaction: "If you two brothers and sisters hadn't been so unethical, and two of you were fighting against me alone, I don't think I would lose!"

It can be seen that he is in a very bad mood as he has been suppressed by the Baikong siblings for many years.

Then, an extremely strong desire to win rose in his eyes: "But, now, who will win or lose is still uncertain."

Facing his complaint, Kong shrugged and said in a tone that sounded extremely annoying: "That can't be helped. If we fight one person, we're two. If we fight a group of people, we're still two."

in the crowd.

Fafnir rolled his glasses and sighed absentmindedly, "These people are truly monsters in the gaming world."

It can be seen that he was hit hard.

Ye Yusheng placed his hand on his shoulder, looked at Kayaba Akihiko, and said with a hint of amusement: "Do you think Kayaba Akihiko will be beaten to death by the group?"

Fafnir slapped his hand away: "Who knows?"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, looked at Ye Yusheng with a mocking look, and said, "Maybe the other party will do what that guy did and directly modify the game parameters."

"You're jealous, aren't you?" Ye Yusheng said word by word. "As a dragon, you're surpassed by a few humans. You must be very unwilling!"

For a moment, Fafnir felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and he had the urge to kill the other person.

"By the way, where is Kato?" Resisting the urge to hack the other person to death, Fafnir changed the subject. He knew that if he continued chatting, his defense would definitely break down.

At the same time, he was indeed a little curious about where Kato was. After all, she and the annoying guy in front of him were inseparable.

"Xiaohui? This is a secret!" Ye Yusheng did not answer directly.

"But I think you will be surprised when you see her again." Imagining Fafnir's shocked expression when he saw Kato's new image with long hair draped over her shoulders, Ye Yusheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Forget it, if you don't want to answer, then don't answer. It's so mysterious." Fafnir was speechless.

Suddenly, Fafnir seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes widened: "You, actually reached the maximum level!"

Then I was speechless again. This guy must have cheated again!

"Ahem, keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

He said he would keep a low profile, but his voice was so loud that it could be heard from far away.

This is clearly showing off, and it's really despicable that he did it in front of Fafnir.

Fafnir snorted in dissatisfaction and ignored him.

The silent crowd suddenly became noisy.

You know, the current game world is different from the original, and players don't have two years of accumulation. Under the leadership of Baidong and others, only two months have passed, and most of them are still stuck at level 40 or 50. Those who can reach level 70 or more are already considered masters among masters.

As for those higher up, they had already been expelled from the human race. They were like gods in the gaming world, having already reached the pinnacle and were all at the maximum level.

But those who reached the highest level were all famous. However, now, someone told them that someone else had successfully reached the top.

The commotion here attracted the attention of Kong Bai and the others.

"It's that guy." Sora suddenly spoke.

"So it's him." Bai Liangran nodded.

Kayaba Akihiko and Katsuragi Keima became even more confused when they saw the look of realization on the faces of the Sora siblings.

Kayaba Akihiko even secretly checked the player information database, but the result made him feel incredible - there was no such person.

Although he was shocked, his expression remained unchanged. He simply silently included Ye Yusheng in the list of final opponents. His tone became even more complicated: "Originally, I thought Kirito would be my final enemy. I didn't expect that he wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the battle."

Then, dressed in full armor and a blood-red cloak, he stood up from the throne, opened his arms as if embracing the whole world, and announced the official arrival of the final battle: "So, all the brave warriors who challenge the Demon King, are you ready to face your final fate?"

Looking at the showy Kayaba Akihiko, Sora couldn't help but curl his lips. In his opinion, such an opponent was not challenging at all.

If that guy named Kirito hadn't revealed the other party's identity, I would have wanted to try to pass the level perfectly.

Keima Katsuragi didn't even look at the other person. In his eyes, Kayaba Akihiko was a genius in developing games, but when it came to strategy, he was just so-so.

If it weren't for cheating, how could I have kept up with them?

"Sister, let's start the game!"

In an instant, the three figures transformed into afterimages and launched an attack. Before Kayaba Akihiko could react, he was already hit, with a metallic clang and sparks flying everywhere.

"How can it be!"

Kayaba Akihiko's eyes were wide open, his mouth was open in surprise, and his whole face was full of disbelief.

However, the three people on the opposite side acted calmly, as if the attack just now was as easy as eating and drinking.

Even Kayaba Akihiko saw disappointment on the faces of the three people, and their eyes revealed the same meaning - that's all!

At this moment, Kayaba Akihiko felt anger, endless anger.

He couldn't quite tell whether he was angry because he hadn't let the three of them enjoy his game or because he was being looked down upon.

He had only one thought in mind, which was to have a good fight. He didn't want this decisive battle to end like a joke. He longed for an epic and wonderful battle that was like a work of art.

He roared: "Boundary, break through!"

Endless streams of data flashed on his body, and his level broke through the limit set by the game system and reached level 200.

Feeling the oppression coming from the opposite side, the three of them were not afraid, but instead showed happy smiles.

Seeing the expressions of the three people, he knew that his choice was not wrong. He, like them, longed for an evenly matched opponent and a battle on the brink of life and death.

"That's it! Only opponents like this are interesting!"

There was a hint of madness on Kong's face.

There was also a hint of seriousness on Katsuragi Keima's face.

"Let us begin the second round!"

The next moment, Kayaba Akihiko suddenly appeared in front of the three people, holding a big sword, sweeping it across, and the terrifying wind pressure and the breath of death attacked the three people.

The three of them did not resist head-on. They knew that after being strengthened, the only outcome of resisting head-on would be their weapons being shattered and they would be seriously injured.

They seemed to have mastered the secrets of Tai Chi by nature. They could use a little force to achieve a great effect. Every attack could hit the weak point of the sword. Although the weapons were of unequal quality, they had the same effect in the hands of both sides, eliminating the gap brought by Kayaba Akihiko's weapon.
