"Irisviel, time to get up~"
"Ugh... let me sleep a bit more... darling..."
Irisviel rolled up in the blanket and went back to sleep.
Seeing her so exhausted, Kaito could only smile helplessly and got up to leave by himself.
"Clan Head, good morning."
Sella seemed to have anticipated this. She knocked, received Kaito's permission, and entered to begin attending to him.
"Alright, I can handle washing up myself. Later, help her out a bit. If she still doesn't want to get up, cook some porridge for her."
"I understand, Clan Head."
Sella nodded respectfully. After Kaito finished washing up, he went to the living room.
At this time, Illya and Sakura were practicing the most basic Magecraft in the courtyard, guided by Leysritt, who was hiding her 'strength'.
To be honest, no matter how Kaito looked, he couldn't tell how 'strong' she really was.
But according to the setting, Leysritt was slightly stronger than Irisviel, ranked first in Fate. This made Kaito very curious.
He had witnessed Irisviel's advantages last night.
As for Leysritt...
[Tyrannical Clan Head XXXX]?
Various scenes emerged in his mind.
Then Leysritt, relying on her slightly superior strength, defeats Irisviel...
Pfft—!!
Better forget this melodramatic plot.
"I forgot to check in last night. I wonder how many points I'll get today."
—Ding
[Today's check-in: 62 points]
Current total: 760 points.
'Not bad, only 140 points away from a 10% off ten-draw.'
He glanced at the chat group; not many people were online, so Kaito got up and went to the courtyard to play with Illya and Sakura.
After breakfast, he seriously taught them some Magecraft knowledge.
Not only did they need to learn, but Kaito also needed to learn.
His body contained all-attribute Magic Circuits (excluding imaginary elements). Basically, Kaito could use Magecraft of the elements metal, wood, water, fire, earth.
Since he had the conditions to learn, why not master a few Magecraft skills.
Even if he didn't need them later, there would always be situations where they came in handy.
For example, Fire Magecraft.
For example, people-repelling Magecraft and hypnosis Magecraft, etc.
At first, Kaito thought learning Magecraft would be very difficult. But after some simple learning...
It seemed...
Not as difficult as he imagined?
Was it due to the talent boost from his Magic Circuits? Or the talent boost from being the Archon, Rex Lapis?
Perhaps both?
Thanks to this, Kaito learned dozens of common Magecraft in one morning, while Illya and Sakura only learned the rudiments of one Magecraft and couldn't even cast it yet.
At noon, Sella said she needed to take Illya to register for school. Sakura was preparing for elementary school.
Kaito agreed and had Irisviel, who had just gotten up, go along to handle the procedures.
As for him, well, he would definitely stay home and prepare to log into the game.
As everyone knows, he, Kaito, never use cheats and disdain them.
Because he has a GM account, why would he need cheats?
…
Time passed slowly. Kaito also chatted in the group about the game, which drew various envy from others.
1:30 PM.
Kaito lay on the bed and put on the helmet.
Regarding the account, he logged in directly with the GM account. After scanning and confirmation, the game helmet could no longer be used by anyone else.
—Ding
[Please set your character ID]
"Kaito."
—Ding
[Entering character creation interface...]
After a while, Kaito didn't change his name, nor did he alter his appearance.
Whatever he was like in the real world, he was like that in the game.
If you insisted on one difference, it was probably that his pupils, eye shadow, and the tips of his hair were golden.
Similar to the effect when Kaito used his abilities, they would automatically convert. When not using abilities, they returned to fully black.
"The CG is quite interesting too."
After watching a long, passionate CG, Kaito, like other players, waited for the game to open.
During this period, he could move his body a bit and also open the system interface to familiarize himself.
'Mm, there was a logout button.'
'Something's wrong, has Kayaba Akihiko reformed?'
'Or was it just to reassure players for now?'
"I must say, the realism is quite high."
Kaito touched his body in the game character state. Apart from unlocking restrictions and acknowledging that he was an adult, he tried a bit.
Whether touch or other senses, it was infinitely close to reality.
—Ding!
[Time's up!]
After a cheerful blessing message appeared, Kaito was presented with the option to start logging in.
Before logging in, there was also a [Main World] area to choose his birthplace.
By the way, [Main World] was just a very casual open world map. Apart from periodic enemy invasions, there were basically no enemies here. You needed to go to [Aincrad] for that.
Since Kaito had already planned with Mika, he chose to be born in the [Main World]'s royal capital.
That is, the super-large city in front of the World Tree.
Presumably, many players would come here.
"Oh, looks like there really are a lot of people."
Standing in the square, Kaito hadn't even had time to appreciate the architecture and scenery, let alone move, when he was slowly pushed out of the square by the continuously spawning people behind him.
After he took a few steps forward, more and more players appeared in the square, and the noise became increasingly chaotic.
Fortunately, there was a well-developed friend system. Just open the interface, search, and directly add the other party as a friend, even form a party, to know each other's location.
Mika: Forming a party~ Let me see... Huh, you're on the other side of my birthplace? Looks like I'll have to walk over there.
Kaito: It's fine, just take the extra walk.
After added as friends, formed a party, turned on location sharing, the two found they are in north and south. Ako, who joined later, was with Mika.
Along the way, admiring the otherworldly architectural styles, occasionally stopping to ask NPCs for information, the three of them finally met up.
At this time, they were all wearing very plain starter outfits.
That is, full-body wrapped in linen clothes and a poor-quality longsword.
"Hehe, finally able to be with you again, Kaito~"
Mika pounced directly on Kaito when she saw him, while Ako beside her was excited.
Perhaps this game was the online game life she had always dreamed of.
"Alright, alright. Should we hang around the Main World for a bit now, or should we log into [Aincrad]'s first floor and start adventuring?"
