Chapter 1
It was around midnight when I first ran into him. I immediately panicked, not knowing what would happen when he pulled out a sword. I reached for my own, but then he sliced something next to me. I thought the blade was headed for me, so I twisted and landed on my butt. The hog fell down with a squeal as it turned into blue shards. The loot menu popped up, but I wasn't interested in it. The guy standing there reached his hand out, and I was afraid to take it. When I did, he gently pulled me up and offered me a slight smile. "You okay?" he asked, his voice gentle and calm. "Uh, I'm...fine...". I fidgeted as he scanned me up and down. "It's dangerous to go around after night. You can't see very well." He eyed the trees behind me as he said it. "I was just...looking for the town..." I stammered. "I'm...lost." I flushed as I said that. How many new players get lost on the first day? "It's alright. It takes getting used to." Somehow, hearing his voice comforted me. Why would a strangers voice sound comforting? I was still thinking about it when he turned around and said, "Alright, lets get back. I know all the safe paths to take." "Are your sure you know all the safe paths?" I didn't want to be caught in the dangerous areas, especially after that announcement. "Sure. I was in the beta test." He walked with grace as we followed the path. When we reached the town, I felt relief flood through me. "Well, here we are." "Um..thanks..." I stopped, as I forgot to ask his name. "Kirito. It's Kirito." He walked to the center, waving his hand to say goodbye. I thought about following him, or going solo. But my heart knew exactly what to do. Before I knew it, I was racing to catch up with Kirito.
