A/N: Hello everyone! Welcome to my first story EVER! Mostly I've been reading a lot of fan fiction and I said to myself "Let's try writing something" and here I am now. Since this is my first story I'll make this short. Please R&R so I know how to improve my writing skills. Now, on with the show… err, story.

Legal stuff I am forced to say: I do not own SAO or any of its characters. I only own my OCs

Akihiko Kayaba stood in front of our team of four to give out our assignments and orders to execute in the game Sword Art Online.

"You all are to be the moderators and admins while the game is in progress. In order for the game to run as smoothly as possible, I hired you to watch over the system of the game while I am disguised as my character Heathcliff" Kayaba said.

He gave us our positions and usernames, I was going to be in charge of general player monitoring. My brother Xavier was put in charge of checking the cardinal system and technical part of the game. Our other two coworker, both female were put in charge of the player death system and the leaderboards and a general secretary for the rest of us, their names were Ruby and Sophie (respectively). We all move to the life support room so we could all get hooked up to our Nerve Gear rigs.

"Hey Brad, come here for a second" My brother said.

"Yeah, what's up?" I replied.

"Well I was thinking, why are we even doing this? Why are we trapping about ten thousand people in a game and forcing them to play it?"

I thought about that for a second. His question made some sense in a way. "Really, I don't think I have an answer for that."

Kayaba came up to us and said "It's because we are creating a world that we can control, a world that we decide what the fate is."

Now that really got me thinking. A world that I could change at my will, all that power in the palm of my hand. The only downfall is that my actions could determine whether someone lived or died. Is this how God feel most of the time?

As Kayaba and Xavier continued their conversation over the sanity of the game I went over to Sophie and Ruby who were talking about what their username would be.

"Maybe we could make it have to do with something about our position" Sophie said.

"Well what's a name that has to do with the death of others?" Ruby asked.

"Yami," I said "it means darkness in Japanese. It could refer to the fact that after the player dies all they see is darkness, which just so happens to be a beautiful women."

"Well that's very sweet and creepy thing to say. Thanks." Ruby replied.

"What about me, what could my name be?"

"Well, you'll be sending out a lot of information all over the game so how about Iris, after the Greek goddess of messengers." I said.

"That's a cool way to see my position, I love it!" Sophie replied.

"So what's your name going to be Brad?" Ruby asked.

"Well since I don't actual have an aspect for my job I came up with something completely original, Bromious."

That was a name that had used in most of the games I played, so it only made sense that I keep it with me as my one true link back to my real life.

"Just like you to make name that is completely unique." Ruby said.

"Ha, yeah, that is like me isn't it? But I looked at how we were set up, there are a total of five people, if you include Kayaba, who can control how this game turns out. We are like a council of gods and goddesses who can shape an entire world to what we want it to be." I said.

"That's exactly why I chose four people to help me with this project Brad."

Kayaba and Xavier had finished their conversation and had moved over to us.

"You all are here to be a sort of council in the new world of my design. As such, we will have meetings discussing what we should do with the game over however long it will run. You will also be tasked with looking over twenty-five levels of Aincrad each. Because this is a lot of ground to cover you will be allotted two assistant NPCs. Now it is almost time for the game to begin, to your stations everyone."

We all left for our rooms where our Nerve Gear rig was stored and the nurses strapped us in. 'Alright, it's time to start creating a new world.' I thought to myself. "This is going to be fun. Link Start!"

A/N: And with that I end the first chapter to my first story ever. Please tell me what you think of it so I can improve anything I need to. No flames. Thank you for reading.

Edit A/N: I went back and edited the story so it's not a big block of text but I'm not going to add anything to the story. Sorry for the short opening but I hope you will keep reading.
