SAO: Kumori's Tale
Markus was a normal person. He was an everyday Joe. He was short. That was about all that made him stand out from the other people at his school. He had brown eyes and brown hair. Just normal. But if there was one thing he had that made him stand out other then his below normal height was his knack for playing and beating games very quickly. He had gotten a Nerve Gear and a copy of Sword Art Online for his birthday. He was pretty shocked when he had got it. Now here he was. At his friends house with his Nerve Gear. His friend's, Marshall and Edger, had gotten the game on launch. And now he had his own. Only two days after the game had launched.
"Are you guys ready?" Edger had asked.
"I can't wait!" was Marshall's response.
Markus didn't say anything. He just smiled and shook his head. The three had laid down on Marshall's bed with the Nerve Gear's on and started the game. Together they said "Link Start!" A bright light had flashed and their login info was entered via their thoughts. Once they entered the game they stood there in awe at the beautiful landscape that was The Town of Beginnings. Marshall had begun to walk around the spawn area and look at the building with a keen eye. As he investigated the surrounding area he found that the buildings were built like they would have been built if it had been built in the time of kings and knights. Not far from the amazed boys a young man spawned in. He had long black hair and grey eyes to match. He closed his hand into a fist and said out loud "Hello world. I'm back"
Markus turned to look at his friends Avatar's. Looking at Marshall as he wondered around. It had shown his name and level.
Name: Fang Pir3
Lvl: 1
HP: 300/300
XP: 0/100
He then looked and Edger as he watched their friend in amusement. And it also showed his name and level.
Name: Enigma 2442
Lvl: 1
HP: 300/300
XP: 0/100
He chuckled at their name's Then checked his stat's to make sure everything was the way he had done it.
Name: Kumori Ankoku
Lvl: 1
HP: 300/300
XP: 0/100
He nodded at this and looked up to the sky. It was a beautiful shade of orange mean the sun was close to setting. He smiled as his ears were filled with two high pitched *DING*'s as a screen and popped up blocking his view of the sky. It read:
Fang Pir3 and Enigma 2442 would like to be friends with you. YES/NO?
Hitting the 'Yes' button with a grunt another window popped up saying:
Fang Pir3 and Enigma 2442 would like to form a party with you YES/NO?
Once again hitting the yes button their names had shown up in his view. He once again chuckled at this as the information he had opened his menu to check had been displayed at the top left side of his eyesight. His name, Level and HP were all there. As were Fang's and Enigma 2442's
"Well. What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Kumori said with a grin.
His friends nodded and together they ran off into the market district to check out the starting items they could buy. As they ran the three had began to talk about what they aim to do while playing. Fang wanted to find a dagger and train in his sneaking skill. He was fond of ninja's and their stealth. As for Enigma 2442 he wanted to find himself a War Axe to use. He wasn't very fond of swords. Kumori however wanted a Broad Sword. He wanted to prove that he was strong. Have a big sword and being able to use it meant he was strong. At least that's what he thought.
"Hey Edger" Kumori said.
"What's up?" He asked.
"Do you mind if we just call you Nigma?" Kumori asked his friend.
Turning to face his friend Kumori awaited a answer from him. Fang was looking to and from Kumori and 2442. The boy smiled and nodded his head in a 'yes' motion. Kumori also smiled and nodded back. Both Kumori and Fang went into their friend list and gave him the nickname 'Nigma'. A message popped up asking:
Are you sure you wish to give 'Enigma 2442' the nickname 'Nigma'? YES/NO?
Both teens hit the 'yes' button and smiled when Enigma 2442's name changed to that of the nickname he had been given. The three were suddenly teleported to the coliseum. Confused the boy began to look around. The rest of the players had begun to appear in the area as well. There had to be at least 10,0000 of them. He gave off a confused grunt as more and more showed up. They all began to talk amongst themselves. Kumori's eyes once again found the sky. His smile faded when a red 'ERROR' screen began to flood the once orange and cloud filled sky.
"What the hell?" he asked out loud.
The sky began to bleed and a figure formed from the blood. The figure was as big as a titan. He was wearing a cloak that covered his face in shadows. Then the voice of Kayaba Akihiko boomed throughout the server from the shadowy titan.
"Welcome to Sword Art Online!"
