Hello readers, this is my first public fanfic, I have written and worked on stories before but its been awhile and this is a spur of the moment thing, I will do my best to keep updating this story short first chapter, please review and tell me what you think.

Chapter 1 The Bisector

My name is Jonathan Smith I'm an American who has been living in Kyoto Japan for the last year as security for the American Embassy I'm a 20 year old male (obviously) I took place in the Sword Art Online Beta test and was one of the top players.

November 6th 2022

Finally I think to myself as I grab my Nervegear placing it on my head and lying down on my bed took the whole day off for this. "Link Start!" After a few seconds I see the World of Sword Art online materialize right before my eyes. "It's been too long" I say aloud as I begin heading out of The Town of Beginnings. I see most players congregating around the many vendors in town, I stop long enough to purchase some low power health potions and then head out of town. I see several players fighting the mobs in the fields near the town and make a snap decision to head further out towards one of the nearby villages on Floor 1.

After only an hour of travel I reach Horunka village and encounter a quest giving NPC

"Excuse me mister can you help me?" the female NPC asks me. "Depends on what you need" I answer as I come to stop in front of the NPC. "My dear brother has gotten lost in the forest could you please find him and bring him back to the village I'm sure he'd reward you with an item of your choice from his blacksmith's shop."

As soon as she finished speaking a notification appeared in front of me for the quest "The Lost Smith" a decent exp reward, 10000 cor, and a rare item. With the option to accept or decline below the details.

A rare item! This early? I wonder if this is a rare quest? Maybe it's only available for the first player to encounter this Npc? A reward of some sorts for not staying near the starting point? It's the only explanation that makes sense well I can't pass this up.

I click accept and head off into the forest, Immediately encountering a pack of 3 wolves equal in level to me, I activate a sword skill and charge in, My vertical slash kills the pack leader, and I quickly follow it up with slant slash on the second wolf killing it as well before shifting to see the third one snarling and charging toward me, a brief impulse of fear passed through me before i blocked its lunge with my right arm its teeth sinking into it. I promptly ran it through with my blade and checked my Hp as the wolf disintegrated.

Lost a 4th of my Hp to one bite? I'm going to have to be more careful if I want to complete this quest in one go.

Checking my inventory I see that I earned 90 cor from the three wolves and some wolfskin drops

Hmm I'll have something made from those later

1 hour later

Will I ever find this guy?

I carefully make my way through a particularly thick group of trees to see an NPC being chased by what looks like a troll. Crap there he is. I yell a battle cry as I charge towards the troll activating rage spike leaping towards the troll and grabbing Aggro.

As the Troll turns to face me I notice he's brandishing a very gnarly looking battleaxe in one hand and a small tree trunk in the other. Shit, Im totally dead, Oh well here goes. I charge in charging a sword skill and slamming my blade into his side and then almost instantly leaping backwards to dodge his slash. For the first time I look at his health bar and notice he has two. My first two attacks have only depleted it by a sixth. Yup definitely dead.

I prepare to charge in again, when suddenly the Troll seemingly unhappy with the battle axe in its hand hurls it towards me. My first instinct is to dodge but I notice the Head of the axe isn't going to hit me, the troll overthrew it. I reach up to grab it and as my hand locks around the haft Im pulled backwards and off of my feet for several feet before I impact back on the ground. But I notice a notification. "Weapon acquired-Bisector"

As I stand, I equip my new weapon. Slowly slightly when I feel its weight on my back. Well what'd you expect a light battleaxe? Drawing it I take a battle stance as the Troll approaches me now holding a much larger tree trunk in both hands. Lovely.

I yell and charge towards the beast, jumping up into the air and bringing my axe down putting all of my strength into the swing. Evidently surprised the Troll gives me a dumbfounded look right before my axe bisects his face.
