Here is book two of the Saga of Kirito.
Before anybody points it out this story was inspired by zero0hero's 'Halkegenia Online', but is in no way shape or form a plagiarism of it.
The first story was to setup certain parameters that should make sense in this story.
Overcoming Destiny
"Talking"
'Thinking'
Ch 1
I thought I knew what destiny was. I thought my parents knew what I was destined to be. But I'm showing them, I'm showing everyone I knew. My name is Louise Tsuboi also known as Titania. Though my favorite title is Zero because, without the creator, we are nothing. And with his help I rewrote Destiny, for me, my family, a World.
OOooOO
The sensation of falling, that will be the last thing I remember, that sense of weightlessness that is felt before the abrupt stop at the end. Oh come on, I know that the academy tower that my dorm room is in is five stories tall but this ridiculous. Unsure of what's going on I open my eyes and gasp in surprise because I'm no longer falling from the dorm tower where I just tried to commit suicide. I'm in a world that looks like an endless stream of zeros and ones floating past.
"Where am I?" I asked hesitantly.
"You're in another world." A voice behind me answered causing me to spin around in surprise. "Louise Vallière I have brought you to this world so that you can learn. For the purpose of you growing strong. The secondary reason is for you build a family of your own." A tall well-built man with olive colored skin and dark hair with scars on his hands and feet told the confused girl.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Louise asked in confusion.
"I am the I AM. I am The ALPHA, The OMEGA. The Beginning and The End. The Creator of all. The Savior of all. Yeshua." The man stated as Louise knelt before him in fear feeling the power emanating from his being.
"Why would you wish to bother with me my lord." Louise asked trembling.
"Rise little one I have work for you that only you can accomplish." The man stated. "You will be instructed by an advisor that will be by your side. You will help save the lives of many people if you're able to accomplish your task. I'm giving you three years before I send you back to your home world to complete your preparations."
"It shall be done my Lord." Louise said looking at his feet. Smiling the man lifted her up and gave her a hug while laying a kiss on top of her head.
"I know you will. Just have faith and help will be given. No hardship will be put upon you that you aren't ready for." With that he vanished as Louise lost consciousness.
OOooOO
"Uhn. What a weird dream." Louise said waking and rubbing her eyes before freezing in shock followed by screaming.
After calming down for a minute Louise got out of the bed she was in and examined herself in the full length mirror that was at the end of the bed. She was dressed in a pink nightgown that fell just below her knees that she knew that she didn't own. But what caught her attention that caused her to scream were her ears. They extended about six inches away from her head and ended in a point and wiggled a good four inches when she tried it. "Did I get turned into an elf?"
"No you're a fairy." A quiet voice said from the edge of the room. Turning Louise actually noticed the room now that her curiosity at herself was sated. The room was roughly 800 ft square, roughly the same size as her parents bedroom. Unlike her parents or any other room she'd been in though it was predominately white with a hint of blue. A rather large red oak wardrobe stood in the corner. Next to the mirror she stood in front of was a dresser and desk made out of the same wood as the wardrobe. Looking the other way was pair of glass windows/doors that reached up to the vaulted ceiling that lead onto a large balcony beyond which she could see a few rather large tree branches with a back drop of blue mountains.
"You can admire the scenery later we have work to do and not a lot of time to do it." A little girl with pointed ears like Louise's standing about four foot tall with long deep brown hair and wire rimmed glasses looked at her with a blank stare. She was wearing a plain dark green tunic that went to about half way down her calves that had a dark brown cross on it. Around her waist was a leather belt that had six pointed star inscribed on the bronze buckle. On her head was a dark green Beret.
"What are we doing?" Louise asked still in shock.
"You have an eight hour window that you have to be in this complex because there are a few people that you have to be asleep around." The girl said.
"Okay first what's your name and what am I here for?" Louise asked coming to her senses.
"My name is Cardinal. I have been tasked with preparing you for the challenges ahead." The girl now known as Cardinal answered flatly as she walked out.
Satisfied Louise went over to her wardrobe and opened it up and looked over her clothes. There were two dresses that could be classed as ball gowns, three casual outfits, the remainder of the wardrobe was filled various armors ranging from fabric and leather to heavy plate. "I guess I should start with the light armor. I wonder why the back is made like this?" Beginning to remove her nightgown she felt a tug then a sharp pain on her back. Looking into the mirror at her back Louise saw six luminescent wings on her back. "Hmmm definitely not an elf. What did Cardinal say?" Louise asked putting a finger under her chin. "Right at the moment I'm a fairy. This'll take some getting used to." She said slightly exasperated.
Thirty minutes later Louise walked out of the room somewhat organized. Cardinal stopped her upon exiting and helped her put them on properly. "Am I the only one with wings or something?" Louise asked not seeing any wings on Cardinal.
"No you're the only one at the moment that has your wings permanently materialized." Cardinal answered willing her four wings to appear as she shook them. Having finished with Louise she turned and headed down the hall Louise close behind
"Convenient." Louise mumbled. "What do you mean only one at the moment?"
"Just that. You are Titania queen of the fae, any daughters you have will be Mauve like you the royal race of the fae. Because the Mauve always breed true." Cardinal answered as they entered into a room that had a myriad of weapons lining the wall. "Now among other things you'll have to be proficient in hand to hand combat. After we get some practice in here we'll head out into Alfhiem proper and go monster hunting."
"Seeing as we can't do this all the time what else will we be doing?" Louise asked looking over the various weapons settling on a one handed broad sword and a few daggers.
"Various things." Cardinal answered shrugging. 'No idea why I was made to disable menus and system messages up here but who am I to complain. These servers are apparently empty enough that it can handle the increased work load of making these areas hyper realistic.'
OOooOO
It had been two weeks since she had woken in this world but had yet to leave the compound that she learned was in the branches of the biggest tree she had ever seen. She learned about the menu that she could access though it was turned off within the compound proper. Her first interaction with it when she went onto the balcony.
"Cardinal!" Louise called somewhat freaking out when a message screen appeared in front of her that she couldn't read.
"Well it had to happen eventually." Cardinal said sighing as she began her explanation.
A half hour or more later.
"I see, so that means that every so often I'll acquire attribute points to distribute that'll be a big help when all of this moves to Halkeginia." Louise declared as she waved her arms to indicate everything.
"More or Less." Cardinal confirmed.
"Hmm. I going to add most of them to Agility and Strength then since intelligence is maxed." Louise said as she went over the list before divvying up point. "Charisma and stamina could use some help. Whoa my luck really is atrocious, any lower and it'd be negative."
Cardinal watched Louise as she mumbled to herself while she was distributing points and selecting the various skills to fill up her skill slots. "Could you come over here and help me with what you think I should have for my skill slots."
Cardinal came over and looked it over and after a minute of having Louise go through the list since she couldn't manipulate her menu for her while she was in physical form.
"Well that's done. So what do we do today?" Louise asked expectantly.
"We go out into Alfhiem and start training you in the art of fighting against monsters." Cardinal answered. "Your mastery of the spells at your disposal is commendable. Your mastery of the sword is good but still terrible. The best way to improve that is in combat."
Louise nodded as she looked on in apprehension. She knew that she wasn't going to enjoy this, not one bit.
She was right, her first foray into Alfhiem proper in the dead of night was an unmitigated disaster. The reason that she was going out in the middle of the night is because the prize for conquering the grand quest is meeting her and the changes to the encoding made everyone want it. She really couldn't understand where the idea came from but whatever floats your boat I guess. Oh well her combat ability was one of the things that needed to be improved greatly so she wasn't complaining to much.
What really made her days of almost constant training bearable was watching the trapped players of Aincrad. They fought to be free of the game created by Akihiko Kayaba day in and day out. How could she complain when she wasn't facing death on a minute to minute basis? She found herself drawn to two groups of players in particular because of their willingness to help others even at great cost to themselves. She had also decided that before it was all said and done she was going to marry a certain swordsman before she returned to her world and take him with her because frankly he would be a much needed breath of fresh air. But she still would have to wait so she trained and learned about her future duties to satisfy herself that she would be worthy of him.
OOooOOooOO
The first chapter is running parallel to 'Last One Standing' after Alfhiem is active. The second chapter runs parallel to chapters 3 and 4 of this fic from Kirito's perspective.
That all my co-author and I have to say other than some things won't make sense until you read the first four chapters hence why they were uploaded at the same time.
