"Ve~! This thing hurts! Get it off, Germany!"
"Shut up, Italy!"
Prussia, loud and obnoxious as usual, hollered, "Only 60 seconds 'till Sword Art Online is live!" He snapped on his «Nerve Gear», consisting of a large blue helmet designed by Kayaba Akihiko for the VRMMORPG also known as Sword Art Online. With the technology created, the «Nerve Gear» would connect directly to player's brains and thus allow them to "dive" into the game of Sword Art Online. Prussia chuckled. "I can't wait to try this out! Oh look; it's starting! 3,2,1-"
«Link Start!»
A flash of bright colors blinded them as the Nerve Gear intercepted their brain signals from the real world.
Germany? Germany? Where are you?" Italy exclaimed. He looked around the large crowd gathered in the village he had arrived in. He stood up and stared up at the sunny sky, one of the many artificial weather features in «Aincrad». "W-Wait, wasn't it night time?"
"ITALY!"
"Ve? Who are you? Have you seen Germany anywhere?" Italy drew closer to Germany, covered entirely covered in a black cloak.
"It's me. Did you know that this cloak will give you extra XP? I-I kind of want to clear Floor 100 and finish the game. Isn't that why we bought it? A-anyway, let's go find Prussia before he gets distracted and you know, tries to kill a sheep."
"B-but sheep are so cute and fluffy, and-"
"HURRY UP, ITALY!"
Germany and Italy walked through the now crowded and boisterous Town of Beginnings. More people were quickly arriving in the avatars that they had created. NPC's roamed the streets and shopkeepers sold swords and many other items players might need. Of course, many people chose to look heroic or powerful. A few muttered about the two strangely-dressed avatars walking directly to the tavern.
When they got there, unsurprisingly, they found Prussia purchasing a beer.
"That'll be 35 Col, please." The shopkeeper said.
Prussia twitched. "S-sure thing..." He handed the shiny gold coins and exited the tavern.
"Bruder, check this out!" Prussia reached up. In his hands appeared a shiny black one handed sword. He swung the sword in Italy's and his brother's direction. Germany quickly dodged as Italy whimpered.
Germany sighed. "Hey, we should log out now. I need to finish my paperwork." He opened up the main menu with just a finger gesture, and scrolled down.
Prussia gasped. "Already!? We just got here! It's not like Russia's gonna kill you or anything-"
"W-wait! Prussia, where's the log out button?"
"What do you mean, Bruder, it should be at the bottom of the main menu." Prussia opened up his menu, only to find his logout button was also missing. "Nein! It's not here!"
"VE~! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?"
"There has to be a way out." Germany tried to calm down. "Today's the first day out of beta; it's probably just a bug."
So that's the first chapter! I hope you liked it! It's more of an introduction type chapter, so I apologize for it being short. I will release Chapter 2 once I reach 3 reviews.
