Indifference

"Welcome to the Rodeo" -Lil Skies

I don't own the Sword Art Online anime, manga, or anything else related to SAO.

I hope y'all enjoy the story! :)


deeper...deeper...deeper

This cavern by far the deepest he'd ever seen.

Maybe he was onto something.

But, then again, maybe not.

The inhabitants of this cave didn't bother him.

spiders

He was neither partial to them, nor hated them really.

He was indifferent.

As he was to most things nowadays.

It wasn't always like that... but that is a story for another time.


An entire month.

That's how long it had taken anybody to find the first boss, on floor one.

It had confused her.

The single lone name displayed on the leaderboard, that is.

Hyde

He had become a legend ever since his name found it's way up on the leaderboards, for thousands to see.

He had been the first one to defeat a floor boss in this game.

And he had managed to do it. All. By. Himself.

All of them. Small parties assured of their victory due to the fact that a single man was able to take down the behemoth.

They had all been wrong and had died for their mistake.

It was common knowledge at this point.

Only the largest of raid groups were able to defeat the boss on floor 1 and claim its spoils.

Aargh, her head hurt just thinking about it.

Why didn't he just explain too everyone the magnitude of the challenge?

She guessed she would only get an answer when she managed to find and ask him herself.

This man intrigued her.

So she decided she had had enough.

Enough sitting around, wasting away her starting cash, and rotting in this God forsaken place.

She wanted out.

So she would have to find a way out.
