Welcome to the first chapter of my SAO fanfic! Not sure what to say... chapters will be short but I'll update often. I don't own anything!


"So, are you going to play that virtual thingy?" A horribly annoying voice chirped from beside me.

"Hello to you, too." I sighed. "And it's not a virtual thingy, it's Sword Art Online. Everyone online is talking about it."

"I do not care! Bye!" My wonderful sister Miku pranced out of my room.

Sometimes I wonder if we're related.

It was almost time for me to jump into the virtual world of SAO, which I had been anticipating for weeks. But there was one minor issue about going into the game which I wasn't so pleased about.

See, I had promised someone on an online forum I'd play with them. We know what our names in-game will be, and we've decided to meet up at the first town. There's a catch: this someone just so happens to think I'm a girl.

It was a misunderstanding on the forum. When I first met her, she thought my username meant I was a chick, and I played along for whatever reason. It's been six months since I've known her on the forum, and we talk on there a lot. I've created a huge web of lies to fake her out into really believing I'm female. But now, I'm stuck creating a female avatar on SAO.

My alarm clock rang. This meant it was time to dive into the game. It was my first time ever using the NerveGear, and I was hyped for the experience, but not having to meet up with Ayumi.

Oh yeah, her name was Ayumi, by the way.

Anyway, it was finally time. I shut my door and booted up the NerveGear, ready to FullDive.

"Link start!"
