Author's Note: Even if this world is set in the SAO universe, Kirito, and Asuna only make few apperances while the plot centers around the conflict between Makoto, Sekai and Kotonoha.
How long have I've been in this pitiful place? For I have lost all that glitters and shines. Death is among me and when I need my friends, my family, they are not here
nor will I ever feel there presense. Has it been a year or a century since arriving in this world of swords? Father time is against us as we continue to stay in this
accursed world, time is ticking for us accustomed to reality. But I can remember a time, a better time, when this setting was more, filled with grace and happiness
unlike the dark reality that I experience now. This madness all began that following day...
"Makoto-kun, I got this really interesting game online and bought you and Sekai a copy to wanna check it out at my house?" It was a bizarre morning with this
"game"called Sword crafts online? Wait no no no, Sword Art Online coming out. Over ten thousand copies were being sold, and in addition we waited on line and
managed to get the last three "Nerve Gears" Frankly when I first saw it, I was questioning why this "new" tech. looked like a messed up bike helmet. Soon we heard a
knock on the door. "Sekai must be here by now right? I mean, no one really knocks the door at your house considering your shy and everything." Kotonoha's face
turned red and she looked like she was about to break down. "That's a bit rude Makoto-kun."
I breathed then opened the door. Sekai scared the crap out of me faster than you could dodge a slap from Sekai at bitch mode. "AIIIIIIIIII, Makoto-kun, I am thrilled to
play this game called Sword Art Online, I hope you bought your Nerve Gear, cause me and Katsura got a copy too!" "Or do you mean I bought you and Makoto a copy"
"Whatever, Katsura-san." She immediately sat down and we put our Nerve Gear on. "You sure this bike helmet is really the Nerve Gear? I mean I've had to move this
helmet around in places emphasis on places. Also Kotonoha, do you think that this equipment is safe? I mean THERE IS A HUGE BATTERY, IT COULD FRY OUR BRAINS!"
She looked at me with a "what the hell are you talking about look," Sekai, who was ready said, "Everyone is ready right? We all
looked at her with a ready look however, I was a bit nervous, I mean this was our first time trying a game for the Nerve Gear. "Uh Sek.. " Link Start" "Link Start" Soon,
the two were fast asleep already into this new world. "Ah damn it, Link Start"
