3 The Death Game

As usual, his user name was "Lord Grim", he was very excited to start his new adventure he took a few seconds to calm down, then thought of ways to level up as if he went to the nearby forest to hunt there will be too many players to get enough experience he can't kill steal as all have the same level of gear which is provided by the system, he can around the town asking for quests but it consumes too much time.

After some thinking, he went to the nearby town's forest which is around 30-45 mins away from so there shouldn't be a lot of them I get moving.

I finally reached the forest start going on a rampage with my short sword, I see a few players here there who are wise enough to not go level in the beginner's forest.

After some time of grinding my level increased to halfway to level 2. Then we were forcibly teleported to the beginner's town when I looked around it was like all the players were summoned here. Then GM(Akihiko Kayaba) that they can't log out of the game.

In a single instant, the world dissolved into madness.

Panic, confusion, disbelief, and unbridled terror swept over the vast crowd of over ten thousand people like an unstoppable wave, and within seconds, the tightly packed city Plaza holding them was thrown into abject chaos as people took off in all directions. Some shook their heads and shouted up at the blue sky that they didn't believe it. Others began frantically searching their menus or desperately shouting the phrase 'log out'-each time with more and more urgency. A few simply collapsed to their knees and began crying.

Huge mobs of young men and women, their eyes wide with fright, their nostrils flared, soon broke away from the main crowd and started running in an effort to escape the Plaza, their speed and numbers transforming them into human stampedes. More fell in beside them as raw instinct took over, and before long these charging masses began bowling over and trampling underfoot anyone in their way.

And in the midst of it all, standing stone still as shock and cold fear paralyzed him in place, Toyo could do nothing but stare at the apocalyptic scene unfolding around him.

He felt as though he were trapped in some bizarre nightmare with no hope of waking up, and the longer he considered the words of the game's creator echoing in his ears, the harder it became to stave off the icy terror gripping his mind.

"There is no longer any way to revive someone within the game, nor will there be any respawns. If your HP drops to zero, your avatar will be deleted from the system- forever. And the NerveGear you have on in the real world will simultaneously destroy your brain."

They were trapped inside the game and the moment they suffered even one death….

Toyo's breathing quickened as panic began to overwhelm him. His heart was pounding so loudly that he was beginning to hear it above the din of screaming, crying, shouting people all around.

"What do we do?!" Someone shouted close up on his left, her shrill voice cracking in panic. "What do we do? What do we do!"

As he stared blankly ahead, unable to even turn, Toyo saw one of the stampeding mobs crash out of the crowd up ahead and bulldoze over a half dozen people in their way without slowing. They were heading straight for him, but his body refused to move.

The dense pack of human bodies was closing the distance at an alarming rate, their faces barely even registering him as they ran in a mad panic, oblivious to the rest of the world.

Toyo's mouth dropped open as he watched them come. They were going to smash right into him.

A hand suddenly seized his wrist, yanking him hard to the right and shattering his state of paralysis. He glanced over to see it was a person who he met during he was levelling up.

"Move!" The person shouted in near panic as he yanked him along once again. "Come on!"

The world came back in a rush all around as Toyo suddenly found himself able to think and move again. Without hesitation, he broke into a run behind the person and out of the path of the unstoppable mob but they were hardly safe.

All around, the Plaza was a place of pandemonium, with thousands of people fleeing in all directions and countless voices shouting out names of friends or family into the cacophony of noise in an effort to find those that they knew. Everyone, from children sobbing wildly to adults still attempting to log out of the game via their menu screens, was quickly learning to stay clear of the masses attempting to make their way out into one of the four city streets serving as exits from the Plaza and out into the city proper. While no one trampled so far seemed to have lost any health, they still emerged battered, dazed, and in obvious pain.

They kept going, evading and bypassing everyone they could while trying to keep at a running pace.

Looking around as he ran, Toyo spotted one of the four archways leading out of the Plaza. It was close, and fewer people seemed to be headed out that way.

"There!" he pointed.

Nodding his understanding, Jae(the person) changed direction and picked up speed.

Staying out of the way of several dozen people making for the same exit, the two of them quickly sped through the rest of the turmoil before making it out of the Plaza and into what appeared to be the governmental section of the starting city; a huge black castle, complete with elaborate pillars and columns, magnificent stone statues along the sides, and a wide marble staircase leading up to the double entrance doors, towered proudly above them, it's dark iron battlements giving the place a benevolent, formidable air.
