Underworld, Somewhere—5th August, Year 380 in the Time of the Realm of Humanity
"...Uurgh... Where are—"
"Asuna, you're finally up."
The aforementioned girl was shaken out of her thoughts when an all-too familiar voice brings her out of her confusion, soft chestnut eyes staring into grey-purple orbs.
"Vabel-chan..." Muttered the girl, sighing in relief. "So, we've successfully logged into... Er what is this world called again?"
" 'Project Alicization'," answered the ravenette, looking around herself. "I must admit, this wasn't the view I expected. It looks... beautiful."
Beautiful did it no such justice, Asuna thought as she allowed herself to gaze about her surroundings, and felt her breath taken away.
She and Vabel seem to be in a forest, hence the shade they felt. The beautiful viridian, any colours that gave an even more vibrant feeling to the forest. Light spears pierced the crowns of the trees (almost blocking the sky, no less), looking like speckles on the ground.
Where the sights were a gift on its own, even the sounds were impressive. A tune that only birds and crickets (real birds and crickets) could sing played in the background, relaxing on the soul. It wasn't exactly BGM like a typical game, which only made this all the more different than all the game worlds she's been to.
All in all, it felt too... real.
"W-What is this place..?" Mumbled the girl, before something of more importance took place in her mind. "Vabel-chan, where are the others?"
In response, the A.I. shook her head. "They aren't in the vicinity, that much I can tell. What I can confirm, however, is their presence in the world. I have no accurate reading on their locations, but they are here... somewhere."
"Well, if you say so," sighed the girl, before steadying herself. "Alright. For now, we should... we should try to find some form of human settlement, whether it's a village or a town. There must be one near here."
Vabel nodded to this. "Of course. Also, be aware that this world is... real."
That was not what she expected. "Wait, what? What do you mean? If you're talking about the entire feel of this world is, then I suppose you can say that. It does feel more realistic compared to other virtual worlds that we've ever dived into."
And she wasn't saying this just for the sake of it. 'Sword Art Online', 'ALfheimr Online' and 'Gun Gale Online' made themselves very distinct as videogames due to several things; background music, dulled sensation, and perhaps other things. They felt realistic, yes, but not extremely authentic.
The feel of the wind, the sounds she's hearing, the way her boots could somehow squish a little into the dirt of the floor... She really feels like this is the real world, and this could potentially blur the lines between the two realms.
"This world, as you've noticed, seems much more realistic compared to the other worlds you've experienced," there was a different tone in her voice now. It sounded like... amazement? "This feels more like a simulation than anything else. Like a world, replicated perfectly, down to the letter. Could you try to open your inventory?"
Confused, Asuna tries as she was told; flicking her left hand downwards, just as it worked in all the games prior, yet no screen popped up.
Odd. As far as she knew, every game thus far allowed such a function. And if this one didn't...
