Beep,beep,beep,beep,beep. "Ugh, shut up !" a sleepy voice yelled from the bed. I slammed my fist against the alarm clock, knocking it over in the process. "Well, at least i have a reason to get up now " I groaned managing to flip myself over with difficulty. As I picked up my alarm clock, I noticed my calendar with a red circle around it, indicating it was a special day. Curiously, I glanced over to it, only barely making out the words due to still being groggy. "Hmm, Sword art online " " What the ? I don't remember why I put this. Oh well probably just a fluke". I make my way over to the bathroom to freshen up. "Wow, i'm a mess " I reply to no one in particular as i see my reflection. My short dark brown hair was flipped to the side in an uneven way, giving it a goth impression. As soon as I was starting to make my myself look decent, I heard the doorbell ring. " Huh ? who could that be ? " I suspiciously make my myself over to the door. I am surprised to see a male figure standing in front of me. " Hello, I have a package for Mr. Richard Zodiac " he states monotonously. " Yes, that's me " I say still puzzled. " You're Mr. Zodiac ?" he says, almost scoffing. " Yes, is that a problem ?" I was beginning to become annoyed. " Who does this guy think he is " I comment internally. " No, not at all, I was just expecting someone older " He says gazing down at the smaller youth in front of him. " My parents died in a car crash, so they left me in charge, so you can address me as " I explain desperately trying to hold back bad memories from the accident. " Oh I see, well here you go " he hands me the package unsympathetically. " Damn, this is heavy " i state struggling to maintain a good grip. " Just sign right here" The delivery man says without even lifting a finger to help me. I manage to sign while holding the heavy package, it was sloppy, but hey what do I care ? I drop the package after the man closes the door behind me. " I don't remember ordering anything, I gaze at the label,especially not anything from japan". I opened the package to find what seemed to look like a game console and a game along with it. On top was a letter attached. The letter read : Here is your nerve-gear console sword art online bundle. We apologize for the long wait as this product has been high in demand and was in beta-phase for an extended period of time. Hope you enjoy ! from funKO. As I began to look over the items, something clicked. " I remember now, my parents had ordered this for me as a present before they went on their business trip before the accident." Seeing the present in front of me, made me choke. Tears started to well up in my eyes. " No, I will not let a good, positive thing be made into a negative moment " I forced myself to stop crying, wiping my now bloodshot eyes. " Well, I might as well set it up and see what this is about " I slowly walk to the tv in my room, which contained multiple game consoles, such as an xbox one, a Ps3, and a wii. As you can probably tell i'm a big gamer so while I was still perplexed, there was a part of me that was eager to test out a new system. After setting the nerve-gear up fairly easily, I only had one thing left to do : play it. I inserted the disc and looked around for a power button, only to find that there wasn't one. "Where the heck is the power?! " I exclaim angrily, feeling very aggravated. I scanned the instruction manual over multiple times, only to still be left in the dark. " Well, that was helpful " I utter sarcastically, feeling defeated. " What's the point of having an instruction manual if they don't even tell you where the most basic component of a console is ! " I mutter to myself furiously as I grab the hunk of junk and toss it off my shelf. It falls to the ground with a clang, but is still intact. As i bend down to pick up the nervegear, I notice words engraved in a small font on the left side. " Link start" I read the words curiously, but as if they were meaningless. Suddenly I hear a soft humming sound come from the equipment. I take the helmet- shaped object and place it on my head, still not knowing what was expected next. Instantly the grey,dark atmosphere became filled with color as flashing lights flew toward me at rapid speed. Then everything turned white.
