Sword Art Online Fanfiction: A Young Hero Named Sorukun Episode 0 - Prologue Part I
In case you guys don't know who I am, my name is Sorukun. In this prologue, I'll explain how I got my armblade on my right arm and the curse on my right eye that changed my life forever from the war against the Fallen Gods a long time ago...
In my world, I was an ordinary guy with blue eyes, blonde hair, and my height being five feet, six inches long. I lived in a small, quiet town called Elgaia and I don't have any magical powers at that time. I used to be a broadsword wielder and I tend to lose battles at times, even when it was a close match. I gradually improved my errors overtime and I sometimes push myself to the limit in training and in battles, making my companions worry about my safety. I also forgot to mention that I was sixteen years old at that time and..I never aged for some weird reason.
In my head, I thought I wasn't gonna make some progress, until I met some good friends when I placed my foot in Gaian soil. When I got there for the first time, I was greeted by a beautiful goddess named Tilith and she's like the most cheerful person that I've ever encountered. She's been helping me getting used to this world called Grand Gaia and she taught me one important rule: To gain one's trust, you must prove it on the battlefield. Until then, your comrades will begin to trust you little by little. Even if it's your enemy, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Always remember that with power comes great responsibility...
I begin to follow her advice, until the war broke out with the Fallen Gods years later. Those fiends destroyed almost everything that I cherished the most: My friends and my world. My blood began to boil hot inside me and it tempts me to end the war once and for all. In the battlefield, I showed my enemies no fear nor mercy, making them scared to fight against me, but my cockiness almost got me killed after I defeated Creator Maxwell, the first Fallen God.
After fighting Cardes the Malevolent, my right arm was cut off by one of his disciples in a blind eye. It was excruciatingly painful when I see my right arm being taken away like that. Fortunately, I was rescued by one of my friends and I had to be rushed to the nearest medical tent immediately to be patched up, so I wouldn't bleed to death. After losing my right arm, I was weak and I couldn't do anything at all to protect the ones that are dear to me. That's when I come up with a weapon that can help me in battle: The Armblade.
I begin gathering as much materials as possible to make this weapon and it's been almost a month because well..I can't do well with my left arm and without the other, it's a bit difficult for me to complete a single task. I searched far and wide for any blacksmiths to help me create such a weapon to speed up the process and I was lucky enough to find the right type of people. Few weeks later, the armblade was successfully forged with magnesium alloy, equipped with a short, hidden blade that only the wielder can reveal it. It's also durable of defending attacks, even powerful magic. I put it on a test run and practiced guarding certain attacks, facing several errors along the way.
Overall, I improved my errors very quickly and that's how I became one of the most powerful characters in the universe. That was, until the last battle with Alfa Dilith, the last Fallen God. After I dealt the final blow on one of his weak points, I thought war was finally over, but man I was wrong. The whole area turned into black smoke as I got knocked down unexpectedly. I tried getting back up and get the hell out of there, but I was being held by a powerful spell. I heard that no one has ever survived this type of attack for years and I knew Alfa Dilith has his last resort prepared for me. I struggled as much as I can, until I saw a black figure standing in front of me with a evil smile, holding a large blade while pointing to my right eye. I clenched my teeth, struggling to get off its grip while I yell at the figure to let me go, as it begins to move the blade straight into my right eye. I begin to scream as loud as I can in pain, until I passed out from fear itself.
Moments later after that horrible event, I wake up slowly while sitting up, feeling a drop of blood from my right eye and a stinging sensation from it as I cover it with my right hand. Later, I stand up and take a look around the ruined palace, until I see a journal and pencil dropped out of nowhere. I walk towards it and decided to pick it up and see it for myself, but it only showed me scribbled words and a hint of dried blood tainting it. I think to myself: If this book can answer what happened to me and my right eye..maybe I'll get the answers on why the dark figure stabbed me in the eye a while ago. So many questions, but I have to find them as soon as possible...
As soon as I write down my name on the blank page, it suddenly opened a portal to a different world, which I'd find it very weird..how can a book actually do that? I didn't have time to answer the unexpected, so I have to figure out where this portal will take me and find the answers for myself. There is a warning about entering unknown portals, though, and one of those warnings can be fatal, if used incorrectly. I entered the portal and that's where I ended up at the cost of my memories and the curse that I got from the Fallen Gods: My right arm that was amputated by Cardes the Malevolent and my right eye that was stabbed by a dark figure transformed from a blue eye into a red eye. My new adventure begins here as well as retrieving my lost memories, but will I be able to recover them all before it's too late? Only time will tell...
