Sword Art Online: Journey of Two

by CommanderFlynn

When siblings Flynn Silvers and Karin Silvers end up in the death game of Sword Art Online, the two band together in an effort to break free of their virtual prison. Both unique in their own way, the bond between them will only strengthen...or will it? Follows the Anime episodes and possibly some original stuff afterwards. T for now but may or may not be bumped up.

1. Prologue

Sword Art Online: The journey of two.

VRMMORPG's were still a new concept that was being broken into. The actual idea that you could live, breath and move within a virtual reality had always existed since those early Sci-fi type films like Star Trek's Holodeck but only now has it truly been possible to recreate. People were exited at the idea. It would raise the bar for gamers everywhere and even threatening to end the home/family consoles out of existence.

So when the official news broke that the FullDrive System was officially ready for use, along with the first game teaser only know as Sword Art Online. Online forums exploded as they all guessed and gathered any and all information on what the first game would be like. Would it be a medieval fantasy game? Something similar to Final Fantasy perhaps?

When popular streaming channel MMO Stream managed to secure an exclusive interview with the lead developer Kayaba Akihiko it was then that it was announced that they would be having an exclusive beta testing period for one month starting from 1st August 2022 and ending in September. Only one thousand testers were approved but no NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) was implemented, so testers were free to tell everyone about their experience. Out of the thousand testers, ninety-five per cent had pre-ordered the game.

When the game was officially available to purchase, online sales had sold out within seconds with gamers lining up for days to get the first few hard copies of the game.

The Servers would start up at 1pm on November 6th where a new way to game would be fully realised.

This is really something I'm doing on a whim - I've loved the SaO anime (and in the process of tracking down the Light Novels to read) and found that it really had a great thing that OC characters could jump in and be JUST as epic in there own little way like Kirito and his Dual Skill.
So to disclose: I do NOT own SAO or any of the property - it's owners of their respective parties, OC characters will all be owned by me UNLESS stated otherwise.

I'm also using the Wiki to help with some of the background information concerning skills and such and the story will follow on to the events within the anime and beyond (if it gains popularity and such, we'll see)
