SAO OC Fan Fiction
Chapter 1
I wake up and look at the clock on the wall. It says it is twelve O'clock!
"Sarah wake up! Sword Art Online is going to launch in an hour!" I yell as I get dressed and knock on my sister's door. She opens the door fully dressed looking at me confused.
"I know that, you overslept again. There is lunch downstairs; I am going to get both our systems ready." She tells me reassuringly.
I forgot to tell you, my name is Devin Stone; I was the second best Beta-Tester for Sword Art Online. The only person better than me was named Kirito and he was the only person I ever partied with.
Anyways back to the story. After eating my hearty lunch of noodles, I go upstairs and prepare to login. At exactly one O'clock I shout "LINK START!"
The sensation of my mind being pulled from my body and shoved into an avatar was the same as always, weird and exhilarating at the same time. Suddenly I was standing in a field full of people.
Looking around most of the players had swords, but a few of them were carrying axes and spears. Looking at my menu I quickly went to my friend list and found my sisters In Game Name; Tania.
I send her a message asking where she was.
"I am right here!" Tania yells as she jumps out of the crowd and lands on my back. I push her off my back where she lands on her bottom.
Her avatar looks nothing like herself. The avatar has long blonde hair that highlights her green eyes.
I know that my avatar doesn't look like me either. I have shoulder length blonde hair and green eyes. Tania made her avatar to look just like mine, just so you know Tania and I are twins.
"Let's go out and level up a bit." I say as I help her back up.
"Okay." She tells me as she stands up and starts to walk toward the edge of the town of beginnings.
"Wait Up!" I shout as I fall into step beside her. At the edge of the town I see that the field is full of Frenzy Boar. Some way down the field I can see two people. One of them is showing the other how to use Sword Skills. Obviously the first is a beta-tester.
As I refocused I can see a very angry Frenzy Boar pawing the ground in front of me. I react instinctively and slash it across the side with one of my sword skills horizontal. Although I am only level one I killed the boar instantly.
Tania and I spend a few hours leveling up by killing a whole lot of the frenzy boars. By then we both are level three. Tania and I both decide to rest for a while before logging out. Little did we know that would be the last time we rest for a long while.
"My Mayo and Anchovies Pizza!" someone in the distance yells. I instantly recognize the kind of desperation in his voice. One of the beta-testers had the same kind of desperation in his voice when he discovered he could not log out of the game.
Fearing that the same might happen to me or my sister I swiftly, open my menu and I can see that the logout button is missing from my menu. I look at Tania and the fear in her eyes tells me that she cannot log out either.
While deliberating what to do, both Tania and I are suddenly enveloped in a bright blue light.
"It's a forced teleport!" I yell at Tania as we both disappear and reappear in the town of beginnings. I look around trying to find Tania; I feel fear swelling inside me as I listen to the nervous chatter of everyone else.
I look up at the sky as a polygon with WARNING typed on it appears. All of the sudden more and more start to show up in the sky. Then some blood like substance starts to flow out from in-between the shapes.
The blood pools together and forms a giant cloak. Though it has no clear body he speaks quite clearly.
"My name is Akihiko Kayaba and as of now I am in control of this world," he started "I am sure most of you have already noticed and item missing from your main menus – the logout button." After telling us he talks about how if you die in the game you will die in real life. Finally he tells us to look in our items.
I look in my items and found a mirror in their as an item. I use it and look in at it. Man is this avatar good looking. Suddenly everyone around me started to be surrounded by the blue light again but this time they were changed into different people. Even I was affected.
I look at the mirror again, but this time it's my own face looking back at me. The avatars long hair and green eyes are changed into medium length black hair that framed my crimson eyes that made me the victim of ruthless bullying.
"AHH!" I turn around to see a slim girl in the standard male avatars clothes. She has long brown hair that flows well past her waist, and her eyes are a unique yellow color. If Kayaba hadn't just announced this death game I probably would ask her out.
"Hello, my name is Ken," I say as I walk over to her "why are you so surprised." I ask.
"Well," she says while playing with her fingers "this isn't what I look like in real life," then she looks away from me bashfully "I am a guy." That statement pulled my head from the clouds.
"Wait," I stutter "then why is your avatar a girl," In all honesty I thought he was a girl. "Did someone else set up the Nervegear for you?"
"No," he started "the avatar is male but it just looks feminine." He was starting to loosen up a bit.
"Then your Nervegear must be faulty," I reason "I bet that the high density scanner is damaged."
"That's it," he says looking relieved "I got my Nervegear at a reduced price for some damage."
"Ken!" Some yells, I turn around to see my sister running towards me. Her white hair with red highlights is showing along with her deep blue eyes.
"Tania" I yell back. As she gets closer I start to speak again "I would like to introduce you to…" I stop because I never asked the boy his name.
"Hello, I am Haru." He says as he shakes Tania's hand. Haru seemed to like my sister. Even though Tania and I are twins I was born a few seconds before her, so being her elder brother I didn't mind Haru liking Tania.
"Hello Haru, I am Tania," she states politely, and then she turns to me. "Who is she?'
"Haru is actually a guy," I tell her, the look of surprise on her face is priceless. "And looks like that because his Nervegear is damaged."
"Well then he looks more like a girl than me." Tania says jokingly. I suddenly remember the graveness of our situation.
"Tania," I say sternly as I look her in the eyes. "I want you to stay in the town of Beginnings."
"But Ken," she says looking back into my eyes "we can both beat the game and get out."
"No Tania," I respond angrily "Just trying to beat the first level I died well over twenty times," She looks at me in fear. "That was just the beta-test, this time it will be even harder."
"But Devin…" She starts, and then I do something unexpected. I raise my hand and slap her on the check. She falls to ground and looks up at me in horror.
"It's just that," I choke out through the tears that started coming out. "You're my only sister and I could not live with myself if you died in this game. After all it was me that convinced you to play this game. I don't want you to die Sarah." She gets up and hugs me like she will die if she lets go.
"I love you Devin." She says through the sobs. I her back and don't let go.
"I love you too Sarah." I reply. All while this happening Haru is watching, wanting the same kind of motivation for beating the game.
"Ken," I look up from the hug to see Haru. "I want to beat the game for you and your sister." Then a box shows up in front of me.
Do You Want To Party with {Haru}
O X
I press the O and then Haru and I are put into a party together.
"Tania," I say as I pull back from the hug. "I want you to check into the Inn here. As I get more and more Cor I will send you more for the rent here." She looks up and nods at me then she runs towards the Inn.
"Come Haru," I say gesturing for him to come "Let's get you some better weapons."
"Okay." He says as he rushes up next to me.
We walk into town just as some guy with red hair walks out an alley. We walk pas him briskly on our way to the market.
Looking at Haru I decide that his now slight frame is better suited for a dagger or some knives, rather than for the huge broad sword on his back.
We go to the best stall in town; it carries the best weapons for the first floor. Even though the prices are extremely high, I noticed that he during the beta-test that the shopkeeper is a sucker for cute girls. That is where Haru comes in.
"Haru," I say as we are walking " I need you to pretend to be a girl at this stall." He stops walking and I look back at him "what is wrong."
"Why do I need to do that?" He says indignantly.
"The guy that runs this booth will sell really cheap if he thinks that you are a girl." I say, grabbing his shoulder "Besides your broadsword is not the best for your avatars build."
"Fine," he says turning back towards me "but you will owe big time." Then he grabs my shirt and pulls me down to his height "or else I will end you." I could tell he meant it by the looking in his eyes.
He lets go and we start towards the booth again. When we get to the booth the shopkeeper put on a big grin and straightens his hair.
"Well what would this little girl like?" he asks with the cheesiest grin on his face.
"Well I don't know mister," Haru says pulling off the bashful little girl really well. "What kind of weapon do you think I should have?"
" Well," he started, looking smug "an untrained weaponer might suggest knives or a dagger because of your small frame, but you could easily use dual short swords like these." He then gestured to a pair of ornately crafted short swords. They looked pretty simple except that there was a dragon head for the cross guards.
The name of the swords were The Dual Dragons. The price was an unbelievable 1000 Cor.
"I don't think I can afford those Mister." Haru then put on the biggest set of bambi eyes. "How about 300 Cor." How could the shopkeeper resist such a cute face.
"Alright, Only because you are so cute." He said, easily wavering from his original price. He gave the Haru and Haru gave him the money.
Thanks tee hee," Haru says smiling "can my friend get a sword also." He said trying to look as cute as possible.
"Sure which one?" The shopkeeper said compliantly. I already know which one I wanted and it will be good until level ten.
"I want Crimson Lust." I tell him. He looks at me in astonishment.
"Are you sure that you can afford that." He says in disbelief. Even though the sword is 2000 Cor I could afford it because, me being a beta-tester I got half of my money from the beta-test. I have well over 3000 Cor. I look over at Haru he knows what to do.
"Will you sell it to my friend for half price." He gave him the ultimate bambi eyes.
"The lowest I will go is 1500 Cor." He stated. It was my turn to convince him.
"That's alright," I started "I will just tell all of the shop keepers that you thought my friend was a girl." He looked over at Haru, Haru nodded showing the NPC his player ID. Blackmail, it was the best form of haggling.
"Fine you win," he finally complied not wanting his reputation to be tarnished. "Just take the sword and leave." I take the sword and pay him the 1000 Cor.
Haru and I go to edge of the Town of Beginnings. We both arm ourselves with our new weapons. Crimson Lust is so expensive because it grows stronger every time it is used to kill a monster. Just like what Haru and I our going to do.
At night Frenzy Boar huddle together forming something we beta-testers like to call a horde. Though you can be hurt more fighting a horde you will gain more experience than fighting them one by one. This being night the boars are asleep making this much easier.
Haru and I start to go through the silently killing the boars. One then finally squeals. The squeal wakes all of the rest. This is when things get interesting.
We pick up pace and start killing them left and right. Pretty soon the air is filled with the twirling polygons of defeated enemies. I turn around after killing my twentieth or so boar, to see that Haru and I are separated by more than Twenty Boars. I begin to slash at them over and over until my instincts kick in and I lose control.
-Haru-
There are perks to having this small body like that I am quite fast.
After killing my twentieth boar, I barely have time to dodge a wild slash from Ken. After seeing that we were separated he went insane and started more boars than I could count.
Pretty soon Ken and I are standing in an empty field just outside of Oreland the town closest to the Town of Beginnings. Ken finally calmed down.
"Ken what just happened?" I ask him.
"Sorry," he responded bashfully " sometimes I lose control in battle and go into frenzy." Then he gestures for me to follow him into the town.
"This is the cheapest inn in town." Ken says pointing to an inn called the Jasmine dragon. Ken goes in and I follow him. He talks to the old man behind the counter and comes over to me.
" He said that we can use rooms one and two." Ken tells me as we walk down the hall "You can have room two."
I gladly accept and enter the room. It is sparsely furnished having one bed, a dresser, and a mirror. Walk over to the mirror and look at my reflection.
Even though the high density scanner is damaged it still got my eye and hair color correct. The only problem was that my build was to feminine and my hair too long.
On our way to Oreland Ken told me that I could cut my hair, but it would probably be limited to feminine hair styles.
I go over to the bed and change my clothes to the sleep wear. I look up at the ceiling and close my eyes. Then I start to sob and the I fall asleep.
