Chapter 1- the Game of Death

2 months ago this dreaded game began, and already 213 people have died. . . Hello my name is Reza. It's been a hard getting over the fact you can't leave the game SAO. When I joined I joined with my friends, but sadly . . . they didn't make it. I didn't want to make a new party after that but I never did give up, I have to get out of this game for my friends!

I have managed to be solo and not die, but I needed to make a new guild soon, before I do get killed. The sky looks so pretty today, clear and blue. As I thought about the beautiful day I didn't notice a girl, with silver hair sit down next to me. I broke from thought when I felt someone tap on my shoulder.

"huh? Oh Hello" I greeted in a casual tone, my green eyes scanning the girl, she looked familiar, Have I met her before? Maybe in the real word. . .

"H-Hi, I have a q-question for you" she said, Was she stuttering? She must be scared about what's still going on, I can't blame her though I'm pretty scared to.

"Really? Okay I'm all ears" I replied giving her a small smile, getting a smile in return. "In the real world d-do you know someone named Lacy?" I was surprised to hear that name it was my cousin's name.

"well yeah That's my cousin's name" I watched as her face lit up and raised a brow a little confused, She then suddenly pulled me into a big hug, making me even more confused. That was until it snapped into place.

"Lacy?" "Th-That's me" I hugged her tightly a few tears falling down my face I was so happy to see her again, she was like a sister to me. I looked up seeing her avatar name seeing the name 'Ren-Ren'. The name suited her pretty well, she always loved that name. I was yet again pulled from my thought, when I saw a Guild invite called the 'Midnight-Gem'. I looked up at Lacy, a shy smile on her face "W-Want to Join M-My guild" she asked, I nodded quickly and selected the 'join' button.

Me and her stood up and stretched a bit, we looked around hearing someone go on about a recent murder. It's been happening often, by the Laughing Coffin guild, So many poor souls lost to that Damn murder guild. I heard a new member was in that guild, her name was Axel, Just great a new killer to worry about, this game is just a damn game of Death. . .
