Anime Multiverse: Starting from Mushoku Tensei

This really meant that he had been transformed from a pile of data into a physical entity.

The benefits of being a player were needless to say, such as pain being minimized, and being able to stand up and fight back even with only a sliver of health left.

But what if it was reality?

Not to mention being at low health, he would probably underperform even at half health.

After figuring out the key point, Naoki Kirigaya couldn't help but smile wryly.

The system's backstab was very crucial.

Not only did it erase his backup plan, but it also banned his advantages as a player.

And he had to quickly grind monsters and level up to quickly reach the strength to be able to pass through to higher floors.

If he followed behind Kazuto Kirigaya and Asuna to take advantage of the plot, it wasn't like it couldn't be done.

But Naoki Kirigaya didn't want to do that.

Was there any point in doing that?

Naoki Kirigaya felt that there wasn't, and there was no need to.

Things hadn't reached the worst point yet, or rather, this was exactly the purpose of the original body wanting to hone himself.

After understanding all of this, Naoki Kirigaya breathed a sigh of relief and strode forward again.

A cold light flashed, and sharp sword edges sliced across the necks of the wolves.

With the sound of blood splattering and wolves collapsing, Naoki Kirigaya expressionlessly checked his level.

He had leveled up once, but it wasn't enough.

A warm current flowed through his body. Although it wasn't much, he could clearly feel his body changing.

His speed was more agile, and his strength was stronger.

It was roughly equivalent to a month of his training.

This discovery surprised him, and he now had a bold idea: after the game ended, would his real body be able to inherit this power?

However, he needed to rest for a while before continuing to fight, otherwise the fatigue caused by high-intensity combat would affect his combat performance.

After resting for a while, his stamina gradually recovered, and his mana bar slowly refilled. This time, Naoki Kirigaya had learned his lesson and didn't use the Sword God Style's sword skills.

Before, it didn't matter; using them only reduced his mana bar.

Now, it directly reduced his mental strength.

He had to wait until his level was higher before he could let loose.

He drew his sword and ran, the iron sword in his hand twirling, and the wolves turned into souls under his sword.

Not far away, wolves respawned again after a period of time.

These level 1 monsters were easy to deal with.

As Naoki Kirigaya's level increased, the magic wolves couldn't give him much experience anymore. After thinking for a while, he decided to sprint forward.

The boundless grassland, the accelerated beating of his heart as he ran, and the smell of soil mixed in the air made Naoki Kirigaya feel a little dazed.

Although SAO was said to be a completely immersive game in its development, even so, it hadn't reached such a realistic level.

The reason was that it would minimize the player's pain.

After all, this was just a game, not reality.

If playing a game was so painful that you wanted to die, then probably not many players would choose it.

What players wanted to experience was the feeling of peacefully basking in the morning sun, blowing in the sea breeze, and stepping on the soft grass after work.

In short, they didn't want pain; they only wanted comfortable feelings.

Although pain would be reduced, there were also many things lost at the same time.

The most common was the sense of touch.

Naoki Kirigaya immediately felt the difference.

This world could no longer be called a game.

A breeze blew through his hair, and the sunlight bathed him, making him feel comfortable.

Honestly, he really wanted to bask in the sun and have a good sleep.

He checked the time; it was already twelve noon.

Naoki Kirigaya always had the habit of taking a nap.

This was something he had learned from the original body. Both Naoki Kirigaya and Roa believed that only after a nap would their spirits be more full in the afternoon.

But now was not the time to indulge.

Naoki Kirigaya quickly headed towards the forest.

He had to go to the man-eating flower area to pull monsters and fight, and maybe he could encounter special monsters.

That kind of monster was a rat wearing a hood, extremely agile, and would drop a very rare single-handed sword with excellent attributes.

This sword wouldn't be outdated even on the third floor.

It was a beginner's artifact.

But after walking for a while, he gave up.

There were too many monsters on the road.

It had seriously delayed his progress.

Even if he went deeper, he wouldn't be able to achieve his goal.

Moreover, the GM would probably announce the real gameplay at four or five in the afternoon, and he was still only level two.

This level couldn't be considered a high-level player.

Naoki Kirigaya had to kill the wolves and bees floating in the air on the spot.

Naoki Kirigaya was unlucky. It wasn't until he killed the twenty-third bee that he dropped a piece of equipment.

It was a relatively heavy longsword, the blade shimmering with a deep cold light.

Just by looking at it, Naoki Kirigaya's eyes lit up. This sword was definitely much better than his beginner iron sword.

And the fact was indeed so.

[Steel Sword]

[Equip Restriction: Level 2]

[Trait: Sharp (I)]

Although this sword still had a level one trait, its attributes were indeed much better than the beginner longsword.

Naoki Kirigaya continued to grind monsters and level up with his newly acquired weapon.

This time, with the sharpness of the sword, Naoki Kirigaya leveled up quickly. Relying on his original level suppression and the sharp sword in his hand, he basically killed one with one sword.

Soon, he came to the entrance of the forest again.

He checked the time; it was already 3:45 PM.

It was no longer appropriate to go deep into the forest to level up at this time.

But if he stayed on the outer edge, neither the wolves nor the bees, nor other types of crawling creatures, could bring him higher returns.

Naoki Kirigaya thought for a while and decided to move forward.

He was actually planning to try his luck and hopefully run into that rare monster.

If it dropped equipment, he could give it to Asuna.

The forest was large, and the towering trees blocked the sky, with only a few rays of light shining through the leaves.

With a gust of wind, the mottled shadows of the trees swayed.

Due to the dim light, Naoki Kirigaya's vision was also somewhat affected.

Sometimes, he didn't see the appearance of the monsters until he was five or six meters away.

His feet stepped on thick piles of leaves, and withered yellow leaves were everywhere. Naoki Kirigaya carefully observed and could see some insects climbing on them.

Strangely, these insects weren't classified as monsters. For this reason, Naoki Kirigaya curiously tried to pinch one to death.

Although it was a dense forest, logically, there should be a lot of mosquitoes in this kind of place, but Naoki Kirigaya didn't hear a single mosquito sound, and those insects didn't actively climb onto him, but crawled on the dark ground.

Naoki Kirigaya became more and more curious about this world.

In the forest, a young man with dazzling golden hair strode along a narrow path.

The winding path was discovered by Naoki Kirigaya during the closed beta.

The end of this road led to the door of the BOSS's room.
