Theo Knight, Legendary Rogue

Prologue:

A boy sitting on his chair eyeing his computer with his light orange colored eyes scrolling down the forum of his favorite game, Sword Art Online. Some tips and guides were there for the non-beta player. The boy himself was a beta tester and was now looking at the mobs and weapons later in game. Information of sword skills, exp, and quests.

Closing the forum then shut his eyes for a bit, leaning back on his chair and sighed. The boy was thinking of himself playing the game, doing quests, killing monsters, fighting players and a thought came into his mind that he would become one of the best players in the game. I mean, this game applies real life skills like cooking, blacksmith and others. He was taught by his dad of how to wield a sword and a gun. Although SAO didn't consist of guns but the sword part got him good. He was quick on his feet and reflexes, nowhere as good as his dad but still fast. He knew this skill was gonna be a good use in the game.

Theo opened his eyes and chuckled from of all the things he thought. Yeah.. I'am so gonna own this game.. I know basically everything since I pretty much went pretty far in the beta test.. Hehe there I go again getting all to cocky..

He then opened up his gaming magazine and began reading.

( Theo's Room: 5 Weeks Later )

Well, I'm pretty sure I got everything set. I mean, I got the helmet, the inside information I need for the game, faster way to get EXP.. Hehe this'll be fun.. Theo slid himself onto his bed and placed the Nerve Gear on his head.

3….2…..1…. Lets GO! He thought while taking a deep breath.

"Link.. START!" Then he fell unconscious and the world he is now in was now completely white. All updates went along fine.

"Make a name for yourself" A name Huh.. What about.. DarkBlade!? Nah too cheesy.. I'll just go with TheoK

"TheoK" "Are you sure you want to go with this name?" "Yes I do."

"Use previous data as a Beta Player?" "Yes."

"Welcome to Sword Art Online" Hehe finally

( Wild Plains: 2 hours later )

Theo was now already at level 4, and readied his blade. Theo was leveling up dramatically slow, since leveling up is relative to the monsters level and he is now 2 levels above, it started getting slower ever since he was level 2.

Theo then wondered about his stats and his skills, what should be his prime stat. Speed, Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, Endurance.. He couldn't decide. He then slide his fingers and a menu popped up and he went to his status.

Strength: 7

Speed: 12

Defense: 4

Vitality: 467

Endurance: 15

Hit Chance: 99%

Endurance is pretty high, and there's no way I'm missing a hit with these stats.. I guess I'll increase my speed and strength mostly and let the rest increase by leveling up..

Theo then tried using his skills, his blade turned bright blue and he charged and he spinned quickly and slashed. He tested another skill that turned his blade dark green and stabbed it into a tree and causing green goo to come down.

A spinning attack and also poison.. That'd come in handy, poison the enemy for DOT then just use the spinning attack as the finishing blow.

Skill

Circling Blades: 40 Damage (+1) 10 mana

Poisonous Tip: 15 Damage (+3) 5 Mana

Not bad.. Poisonous tip doesn't really do much of a damage though.. Guess it is really for DOT. Circling Blades is on its peak, that'd at least get me half of the opponents HP..

"The forum said I could either say the skill out loud or just say it mentally. Hehe.. Doing it mentally would be more efficient I mean, I might run out of breath when fighting.. Plus everyone would think I'm a dork.."

(Town Of Beginnings: Plaza )

Theo appeared with the rest of the 10 000 people who played the game in the plaza. Everyone was getting bunched up with each other and that made Theo pissed, he hated being in small places, he just wanted to break free.

"What the hell..? What is this? A force TP?" Theo looked around

"Hey buddy I was just farming!"

"What's happening here?"

"Where are we?"

Those are the 3 things Theo heard most in the plaza. Theo looked around every direction to find an answer. Suddenly, crowd quite down as soon as the sky became blood red and hexagons filled it.

"Welcome To Sword Art Online" A low and dark voice was heard, it was a guy hooded in read with a face unseen due to the fact his face was covered in darkness. His hands were spread to show a welcoming gesture to the players.

"I'am Kayaba Akihikio. The god of this world."

Theo gave a glare straight to Kayaba as if he could actually see it.

"I'am certain that most of you cannot find the [Log out] Button in the menu. This is not a bug, it is actually a feature of Sword Art Online."

Theo gulped and was trembling on his feet, if he couldn't log out, he couldn't go back home.

"And don't worry, you wouldn't come out of this game even if someone takes off the Nerve Gear. The Nerve Gear will shock your brain and kill you. 200 people have died already. That is why all of you are sent to the hospital for safety"

"To get out of this game, one of you have to go into the top of the tower and defeat me the Game Master. I also gave a special give for all of you in your inventory"

Everyone opened their inventory even Theo. A mirror? How would this be useful for the game, I thought we'd get a pretty bad ass weapon or armor or something. Suddenly his body- no everyone's body started glowing and as he looked around everyone looked different. Theo looked at himself and well.. He was literary looking at himself.

"You all must be wondering why, me the creator of SAO did all this..? Well.. My goal has already been realized!"

"I have made this world to become god, to make a world of my own and see the people living here and working to finish the game. That is my goal. The tutorial for SAO is finally over- I wish you all the best."

Then just like a sharp pin hit a balloon the plaza exploded with complaints

"WHAT THE HELL!?"

"I wanna go home"

"Somebody help me!"

Theo heard everyone's cry for help, he then gripped his blade. Kayaba wanted to be a god. Well then Theo thought to himself, a man slaying a god would be impossible. Then he made a grin.

Then I'll..

I'll be the man who kills god.. I'll be the guy who saves everyone from this death game! He mentally thought to himself. At that moment, Theo ran out of the Town of Beginnings and tried training as much possible to become the best. To save everyone.

( Gravel Roads: 6 Hours Later )

Theo used slashed his way through all the mobs that attacked him, he farmed and farmed and farmed. He then reached a somewhat forest. He then killed the monsters there regardless of the fast they were level 4's, making him level to level 5 in just 45 minutes.

Is that..? That's a.. A tree village? What Theo saw were houses on top of tree's bridges here and there for making easier passage ways from another tree to another. He then motioned his fingers to open his status.

Stats:

Strength: 10 (+1)

Speed: 16 (+5)

Defense: 8

Vitality: 532

Endurance: 21 (+1)

Hit Chance: 99%

Well I increased my speed mostly, and my endurance just spiked up.. My hit chance is still good, but my defense is whack.. Although I could just dodge with all the amount of speed I have. Endurance is pretty high to making me take hits from enemies not that hard..

Skill:

Circling Blades: 89 (+1) 5 Mana

Poisonous Tip: 35 (+6) 7 Mana

Rip Tide: - (+20) 30 Mana

Circling blade is awesome, so is poisonous tip with sky rocketed from before.. And a new skill Rip Tide.. It had no damage.. But its got a nice plus damage.. Lemme read the skill.

Rip Tide:

Does the amount of damage to enemy of the amount of health and mana you have. The lower your health and mana the bigger the damage.

So its kinda like a last resort.. Although the amount of mana used is pretty high..

Theo then walked around the village with his blades out not knowing if it a safe zone or not, to fend off mobs or worst Pk's. Pk's are player killer, they basically kill you and takes everything you have afterwards. Not that anyone would, since killing someone here would kill someone in real life.

After a few minutes of wandering around he see's an old man with a staff. Theo thought it was a mob so he tried sneaking up on it until he saw a golden question mark on top of its head.

"Hello there traveler. I see you are new to the Forest Village…" "uh yeah.." "You look very strong do you mind doing a quest for me?"

Kill Grizzle Back

Desc:

Grizzle back has attacked me while I was in Ranger Mountain and I dropped my stuff. If you take it back from him, I will give you great rewards.

Grizzle Back: 0/1

Blade Of Thorns

Dagger Of Toxicity

Grizzle Chestplate

Grizzle Plating

Col 10.000

Exp 3000

Accept Decline

"This quest seems quite difficult, due to the fact it gives that much rewards and also col.. Not to mention if I finish the quest I instantly level up.. Accept." Theo accepted the wandering old man's quest

Guess I'd better finish this quick, the faster I finish this the faster I get stronger and save everyone from this game.. Just you wait Kayaba I'll be the one to slay you..
