A/N:
This story is going to be about a new OC, named Nobu (in game name and real name). They will be incorporated into my other fic, named "A Reimagined Life" in the next chapter (chapter 4). This fic is named "A Warrior dressed in blood" … sorry, depressing title, hopefully it won't be that dark. This may be a one-shot or if it gets popular enough, I'll do a few more chapters. This will ALL be in 1st person view of Nobu so, yeah.
Aaaaand as I'm righting this it's turned utterly and completely dark so… yeah it's probably going to be M.
Well, ON WITH THE STORY!

This is the story of Nobu, the player dressed in blood.

The words, the two words that everyone said to get into that wretched world. The two words that put an end to thousands of people's lives. "Link Start" is how 10,000 people got trapped into a "virtual reality." I was one of those people, at 15, who participated in the beta test. One of the people that got outlawed and was called a traitor by everyone.
To put into other words, I was a beater. I had made friends with Kirito in the beta, so everyone put me in the same boat as him. I was a beater, a solo player, destined to loneliness and hate, but I didn't care.
-Flashback, Floor 38-
I sat there thinking about what had just happened. I had been jumped, brutally attacked by almost 20 other players. I did it, I killed them all. I murdered them…their blood is on my hands, just for being a person that got picked for a game beta. I sat there and then looked at my skill tree to see what my level was.
When I was looking for my katana skill (the weapon I used), I saw an extra skill on the list… something called "Blood Taker" that seemed to use a katana style weapon.
When I clicked on it the katana in my sheath on my left side disappeared (I'm right handed) and was replaced with something that looked like my weapon at the time but with strange, blank engraved markings on the side… as if in another language.
I tried the starting skill for it and I felt a small surge of weakness. On instinct, I looked up at my health bar to see it drop and also to see a small UI notice pop up near my said health bar.
It read thus "These skills can only be fueled by blood, whether that be the blood of your enemies, or yourself, that is decided".
When I looked back down I saw the katana I was holding was surging with a deep power and an unmistakable color. The color of blood.
After getting over, the fact that my sword had my blood infused inside of it, I tried the sword skill again. This time it sent out a piercing red energy, as if shot by a bow.
As I looked down again in awe, I saw the red energy in the sword was not surging as powerfully as it was originally before the skill. 'Ahh… I get it, this sword takes blood as energy for the skill, just like mana in other games' I thought. 'I am going to go test this'
A few hours later, Inside a small dungeon
After hours of testing against mobs, he found out that the blood energy can be replenished and filled by 4 hostile mobs. When he had finally gotten his second skill, he thought it had done nothing, but in fact, it was one of the most useful skills he had ever seen. It gave him a small buff against every type of DOT effect in the game, bleeding, poison, paralysis, etc. 'This is going to be useful in the coming floors' I thought to myself.
Boy was I right, Boy was I right…
