He's just naming a few big players or beta testers that he's heard players talk about.
"His username was White Mantis. But there's a lot of gossip around now, so some people who didn't attend are now claiming that he's called Kirito, or Daisuki, or any other big player or beta tester. They just know that one of the bigger players killed a helpless weakling, and they're making up stories that fit."

A righteous sentiment.
"How about... In ten minutes? Hahahahaha!"

He is now defined by his avatar in the video game, rather than his earlier form.
(A/N: I obviously know that this isn't how things went down in canon, but it's a heavy, huge AU. When I say huge, I mean it. It's not even in a video game anymore lol. But I'll survive this change to canon. I'm alright as long as I'm alive.)

Basically, though the SAO setting is AU and isn't as video game-like. This version of SAO has become the real world, so it's a bit different, plus MC doesn't know the game that well at the start and mostly relies on real-life skills + rational planning early on.
(A/N: In case it's not clear, this is no longer virtual, and the game has become reality, though the players have no way of knowing that. Since there'll probably be confusion, I'll just say it: all non-players have been exterminated, the game (by that I mean my heavily, heavily altered version) has become reality (the players can't be sure of that fact), and the world itself is heavily altered. Hope that clears up any confusion.)

"I should move to Japan. At least they make good anime and manga. Much better than what's written over here. The people are probably much nicer than China's."

Yep. He's just upping the ante.
"Here is my offer. I have constructed a mighty tower to the skies, the Tower of Babel. It lies to the East of town. A natural labyrinth, you will have to navigate to the center, in order to fight a boss. Once a boss is defeated, you can move on to the next. Finally, you will reach the 100th level of the tower, its peak, and for defeating that you can win freedom. You see, the boss on the 100th level is the final boss of this game, and only by winning the game can you end it.
Hegemony
