Prolog: the start of my life.
I was only five but I remember it every day the day my father left with my younger brother.
"Zach don't go what about your other children you can't just leave them." My mother said.
"I'm taking chase you can keep the…" then my sister covered my ear with her hands and I looked at her and she was crying.
"Don't cry." I said. She looked at me and smiled and kissed my head.
Later my sister removed her hand and took me into the living room and my mother was gone and my father was too. "Where are mommy and daddy?" I asked.
She looked at me and said. "Daddy is gone and mommy will be right back but until then I will take care of you don't worry. She took my hand and we went to the back porch and looked at the lake in the back yard.
"Alston I don't know what going to happen always know I'm never going to leave you." She said kissing my cheek.
She later took me back in when she heard someone came through the door. "Tara can you make something for Alston I need some time." She said going into her room.
I went to the kitchen with my sister and I sat on the ground and messed with our cat as we ran back and forth in the kitchen. "Alston he want you to let him go." Tara said lifting my hand.
The cat ran away and I just looked at my sister confused she always let me mess with the cat until dinner time. "Is it time for dinner?" I asked. "Almost just get the table ready okay." She gave me three plate and forks and I went and put them on the table in three different chairs. My sister then put some food on my plate and sat down next to me and said. "Mommy dinner is ready."
But my mother didn't came out, she barely left her room for five days and didn't really take care of herself. I would only talk to my sister and that was bad because I was in school and never really acted like other student and stayed away from them.
"The teacher called me today Alston you have no friends there the teacher is weird that you are going to have a hard time later in life with no one to help you." Tara said.
"I just don't relate to other students they don't want to know me any way no one walks near me." I said. I had my cat in my lap he was sleeping and purring as he did.
"Alston is this about dad?" She asked. "No I'm just not a social kid Tara you know that." I said.
Chapter 1 A hard life turned worse
I was never much for making friend when I was younger and still today so I never really did make friend just people that think they know me but don't even know how to say my real was all because my father left my mother I was only 5 he took my younger brother and left my older sister Tara she took care of me till my mother finally realized that he was gone it took four year but she did.
I never saw my brother since that day I lost most of my emotion and just want my sister and no one else I didn't know it was wrong at that age to have a crush on your sister but she made me feel loved and special, my feeling only grow she mean a lot so I will never act on those feeling. I played a lot of game to escape the real world to feel like I was someone and not worthless.
I was 16 when I got my nerve gear and a copy of sword art online, my mom order it from japan for me, she knows I love to play game but she gives me a limit on school nights one hour every night and it was Friday so I could play for a little longer. I was on my way to my room when my sister stopped me.
"Going to play your new game?" she asked with a smile on her face.
"Yes I will be off in two or three hour for dinner don't worry" I said patting her head. I was taller then her now but not when I was young she was taller and that made me feel safe
I read the manuals first to learn a little and how to change it to left handed so I had a easier time playing. I put on the nerve gear and lay down on my bed and waited till 12:00 and started the game at 12:00. I closed my eye and said. "Link start."
It had a senses check to make sure it all working in my nerve gear. I was told to created my own character and name him. I had medium dark brown hair not styled but length and color of my hair green eyes and same height as me 6'4. I put in my real name Alston for my character's name and I started the game.
I was in the town of beginnings with nothing but my red long selves' shirt and black jeans. I went to a blacksmith who let me choice my first weapon out of sword, axe, spear, and dagger. I choice the sword it was a normal iron long sword nothing special.
I was about to head out on my own, when a girl asked. "Um are you going alone?"
I turned around to a cute girl she was up to my neck in height, She had dark brown hair and green eyes. "Yes why do I need another player to leave?" I asked.
"No I just wanted to know maybe we can join up and train." She said.
I looked at her face she was smiling and I couldn't help but say. "Sure just…" Then she sent a friend request. Her name was Alice. I accepted and then she sent a party request. I pressed the O that meant I accepted her request and her name and health appeared under my name and health.
We went and trained for some time we both made up level three when she was too tired to continue and low on life. "Here it a health potion the boars dropped a few when we kill them." I gave her three one now two for later.
"Thank." I was lying on the ground and looked up at the sky as Alice rested we had made it to level four.
When a bright blue light appeared and teleported we back to town of beginnings. Alice was holding onto my arm when the sky light up with red warning sighs all the way across the sky.
Then a giant hooded man appeared and started to speak. "Hello player, I'm Akihkah kayaba an you are in my world, You may have noticed that the log out button is missing, I here to tell you that it is not a bug this is a part of the game my game." I swiped my left hand down to open my menu and went to the main menu and it was gone not there.
"The only way you can leave is by beating all 100 floors and the final boss on the 100 floor, no one on the other side can take off the Nerve Gear if they try it will send a microwave to your brain killing you" Everything just got worse. "Some people have not taking my warning to heart and 231 lives have been lost forever, Also if you H.P. hit zero you avatar will die, be deleted, and you will die in the real world by the Nerve Gear."
We all went silent a game were if we die in we lost our real live as well. "I have put and item in you inventory please use it."
I did as he asked. It was a mirror and nothing more than a blue light appeared around everyone and we all changed how we looked, I looked into the mirror and I looked like me IRL. "Alston is that you?" Alice asked.
"Yes it is the real me." I turned around to see the real Alice a cute girl long brown hair, green eye and same height.
"I wish you all good luck." And he was gone.
For a few second everything was silent, when everyone started to scream at him. Alice fell to the ground and yelled. "I don't want to die!"
I picked her up and we ran to market place. "Alice we have to keep going to the next town."
She didn't hear me she was having a mental break down and I didn't know what to do. I opened my menu and gave her all my money but 10 for an inn for tonight. "Buy some armor and weapons keep yourself alive I going to head to the next town and train on the way." I said.
She heard me then and she grabbed my arm. "Please don't leave me you're the only friend I have in this game and right now I need a friend." She said crying into my shoulder.
This meant we are party members till the end of this all or my life. "Fine let go to an inn and rest there for the night you need sleep right now." I said.
She stayed on my arm the whole way to the inn and our room. It only had one bed per room so we shared the bed. She fell asleep fast as I just stroked her hair to keep her calm somehow it was working. I fell asleep with her in my arms.
In the morning I woke up first I was not surprised at all I way never much for sleep just being alone. "Why does she attract me so much?" I said.
She woke up ten minutes later. She looked at me and said. "Your still here I thought you would have left me to die."
"I am going to keep you alive and get you back to the real world I promise you that." I said
. We went to the field to train till noon and get some money. "Look out!" I yell slamming down and pig knight before it hit her.
"Thanks for the help." She said with a half smile on her face.
We went the next town instead of going back to the first town. She bought some better armor a red dress with the back longer than the whole dress. I got a chest plate some gloves and a red over coat they will be replaced but for now It the best I got I also got a better sword name beastbane a sword that dose bones damage to beast type monsters.
"Let get some lunch I'm buying." I said grabbing her hand.
We were eating when she asked me. "How you are so calm about this entire are you not scared."
I looked at her and said. "I'm scared but I don't have much to lose just my mother and sister." I looked away.
"And me we are friends." She said with a smile.
"Yeah and you, I have to stay strong and not be too scared about this is, we have to move forward in this hell game." I said.
"You keep your calm way better than me." She said.
"How about we explore the dungeon later to try and find the boss room." I said.
"Sure I think at level 8 we can get through it." She said with half a smile. "Can we go tomorrow not today. It only 12:45 what do you wants to do?"
she asked. I looked out the window and saw an arena. "How about we earn some easy cash." I said pointing at the arena.
She looked worried and scared. "I do the work you get the bets okay." I said.
We went and I sighed up and I was the second highest level. I went out for my first fight and it was a thief with a dagger. "Ready you two." I shook my head yes and so did he.
Then the duel started he charged me and I slammed him across the battle ground and he lose half his life in one shot and I won. "That's it really." I said looking shock that I won it a single blow.
I left and got 500 for winning that duel. "That was cheap."
I was waiting for my next match when I got a message from Alice. "Alston people are calling you a cheater and want you to fight the highest level person next be careful please." I wanted a challenge not some weak thief as my next opponent.
I went out to the battle field and it was a man in a light armor and had an axe. "He looks okay but he will lose." The duel was till one loses half their life.
The count went to zero and it started and he charged me just like the other guy. I slashed his chest plate and he fell back and lost a good amount. He punched and missed me I punched his head and slashed three times in his chest and did a skill slash. My sword glow red and struck his chest winning the duel.
We left the arena and went back to the inn. "I made four thousand cor from that fight alone." Alice said with a screen in front of her showing her winning of the bets.
"Good how about we go to the dungeon and map our way around to try and find the boss room" I said with a cocky smile on my face.
We left for the dungeon but in the field we heard a man scream in pain. We ran to find it but when we did we found a lizard solider with his axe him the man back. His life fell to nothing and he shattered into crystals and floated away.
"Damn you!" I yelled slamming the creature to the floor and killing it. It shattered just like the player did when he died, Alice teleported back without saying a word.
I ran back to town as fast as I could to try and find her. I pulled up and map of the town and found her at the inn we stayed at last night. I walked into the room she was in. She was crying trying to cover his face as she did but I show her crying. "Alice why did you just teleport away?" I asked.
I went next to her and held her. She looked up and said. "Why did he die how can we live till the end of this damned game?" She put her head into my chest and just cried.
I started to hum softly for her. She started to calm down and then she looked up at me. "How did you know that would work?" She asked.
"I didn't I tried the first thing to cheer you up." I said with a smile. She smiled with tears in her eyes.
I wiped them away for her and she took my hand and said. "Why don't you stay with me tonight to keep me warm please?" She asked.
"Sure I'll stay with you." Those words just made her day better and she lite up. She put her head down to sleep as I lay down but didn't go to sleep just looked at the roof.
"She need a friend right now, and if that has to be me I'm fine, but what draws me so close to her? " I asked myself.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep. In the morning Alice was holding onto my arm tightly. She was drooling on my arm as well it was cute I don't know why but it was. I then realized that I had falling in love with this girl. "But… It doesn't matter how I did as long as she nearby that all that matters."
She must have heard me because she shot up and was blushing heavily. "W-what does that m-mean?" she said.
"Umm that I need a friend to help me get for… Never mind that Alice I have falling in love with you and I can't lose you." I said in the heat of the moment.
She looked at me with a shocked face. "A-Alston I have been in love with you, from the start I just didn't want to creep or weird you out so I keep it to myself." She said looking away.
I hugged her and whispered into her ear. "Then let stay together now and forever." When I went to look into her eyes she was smiling and blushing it made her look cute. She smiled and I locked lips with her and she blushed even harder than before.
"hmm." She was surprised that I did that just kissed her. She pulled back and she had her mouth open a little speechless but a look like she wanted to say something.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to force a kiss on you." I said.
She smiled and said. "It's okay but just let me know next time than just an instant kiss please." I smiled and I realized that she was a reason alone to survive this hell of a death game. But then I shot up it was all a dream all along it made me cry but I still had my reason to keep moving forward in this game.
