Scene 35

All of your equipment's a gift from getting into the beta, right?

It's decent gear, but that's exactly why I wouldn't recommend using it. It'll trick you into thinking you're stronger than you are.

Most games do that nowadays—they make things easier for beginners so they're not scared off.

Luckily, we're in the Town of Beginnings, so we'll soon find you some new equipment.

Oh, and remember—there's no magic in SAO, so you'll need to pay close attention to your weapons and armor instead. Now follow me.
