The world today is in a state of more or less panic. After the announcement made by Laughing Coffin, things began to change... drastically. World Leaders began putting old rivalries behind them and stated pooling their resources together in order to find LC, people kept claming to be apart of LC all around the world, and the economy blew up due to everyone's fear that they would be a target for LC, making them believe they neede to stock up on 'apocalypse' supplies. While that was happening in the real world, the virtual world began to see some changes. Online games began shutting down out of fear that LC was inside it, others began changing to worship the LC guild, while very few were unaffected by LC. And all this happened within days of the video being posted. It really goes to show how much one group of people can change the world. On another note, things began to change within this new SAO was changing. Some players stopped signing in after a while, other who died just disappeared all-together, and many players who were still alive began to change and show more of who the really were inside. It turned pretty bloody.... technically. No blood since it was just a game, but many people began dying left and right. While many turned into honest murderers, almost double that amount turned into protectors, body guards, bounty hunters, etc. You name it, and they became it.
