Author's Note: This is my first time posting anything I wrote. Ever had a song stuck in your head? Well today I ended up with this soliloquy stuck in my head. I decided to type it out and since it seemed good, uploaded it. In case you are wondering, no this is not a duel between Kirito and Black Lotus. What i am presuming is that sometime after his duel with Silver Crow, Kazuto ends up in the Accelerated World a second time. Please leave comments of what you think about this. I will probably make some minor tweaks to this as time progresses. Image by Luna-Lifiora.


It couldn't have been anyone else. It had to be you.

You definitely surprised me with the stunt you pulled last week, dueling my child out of the blue.

However I must thank you for that, for without the comfort of knowing he was able to challenge you I wouldn't be standing here right now.

Perhaps this vile game isn't such a cruel world after all, giving me the capability of defeating my own demons. Because I can not fathom any other explanation as to why you, my personal tormentor would make yourself known to him.

No matter what that child of mine thinks he has saved me in more ways than he can imagine. And to think that all I was hoping for was a confirmation of who my concealed adversary was.

I would have never guessed the child I found by chance was so much more...

But back to my current affair.

I know you are not real.

There is no possible way for you to actually be here. This world will not allow it.

You are just this games virtual embodiment of my actual demons.

You are not real!

And you are not infallible!

My chat with my child a week ago proved that.

No you are just the hero I had always looked up to.

A person I had strived to be.

Someone who I felt would always be beside me.

Until that witch destroyed everything I held dear!

You had always compared me to her.

Always making me try to live up to her perfect example.

...and I couldn't do it...

I couldn't compare to your perfect little angel that you had before me.

Your own flesh daughter couldn't live up to your own expectations!

I ended up hacking the school network to get good grades...spending weeks in this game to grind burst points...using the inhuman power behind this program to survive school.

Trying to live up to your expectations.

Of course it all came crashing down.

Well what do you expect when your sibling is an AI?

The last thing I expected was for her to stab me in the back like that.

Losing 4 years worth of memories is a death in itself.

And yet she set me up.

Left me to die in this world.

I lashed out at her.

And you sided against me...

Why? Why would you value this program more than your own daughter?

..that night left me broken...

...every single one of my friends were gone..

..my own family had turned my back on me...

...had Megumi not taken me in I doubt I would have ever recovered.

And then I met him.

My child.

He gave me new strength.

On his wings a arose from the depths.

He is the reason I am standing here.

The most wanted criminal in the entire virtual world of this diabolical game.

Waging a war she could never win.

To break the status quo by doing the impossible.

That is why I am here.

Swords drawn.

Saying what I will never be able to say to my father.

In an attempt to vanquish my own nightmare.

I will defeat you Kirito!
