A/N Hi! This is my first fan fiction, and its about Sword Art Online, a great anime that if you haven't seen you should go watch right now! I hope you like it!


It was two months ago that this death game started. Many players had died and others continued to thrive and fight on the front lines. Zynch was not one of them. He wasn't much of a fighter, and he didn't think he was strong enough to risk his life. That was before he met the Black Cobras. They were another group of pkers, just smaller than some of the larger groups such as Laughing Coffin. But they were brutal, and out for blood.

Zynch's POV

There was debris everywhere. Fire. Smoke. Zynch woke up in the middle of the night to chaos. He was sleeping in his shop on the twelfth floor of Aincrad. He owned the store on the bottom floor and lived upstairs. People were screaming. What the heck is going on? He turned to see flames creeping up the sides of his bed. Zynch threw off his covers and got up. His eyes were bleary from smoke and heat began searing his flesh. To his horror, Zynch's heath bar was dropping fast. He scanned the burning room and found an opening that led to the window. He raced down the open path and jumped straight out the window, onto the ground below. Slowly, he dragged himself off the ground. His black hair was messy, and the reflection of flames danced wildly in his blue eyes. Players in black cloaks marked by a black coiled cobra preparing the strike, were setting houses alight. But how? This area is a safe zone. A girl, a little older than he was, was sprawled out on her back. A girl that looked very similar to her was trapped by one of the men who was holding a knife to her neck. The older girl reached feebly towards the other, but couldn't stop the blade from moving. Zynch had to help. He ran over and found the one on the floor had been paralyzed. Her player name read "Jordan". He grabbed Jordan's arms and dragged her away, her arm still extended towards the other girl. Zynch pulled them into an alley way, but not before they saw the blue shards dissipate into the night sky. A tear rolled down the face of the paralyzed girl. Eventually, she managed, "You let my sister die."


A/N I hope you enjoyed! The more favorites and reviews, the faster chapters come out so please do that! Constructive criticism and new ideas are always welcome! I'm hoping to make chapters longer as time goes on. Thanks for reading!
