Hey there, the names Shane, Im just your average 14 year old gamer who happened to get caught up in the Sword Art Online incident, you probably heard that the Sword Art Online incident had occurred in Japan, but in fact It could have happened in 2 other places as there was 2 other servers, for America and one for Europe, fortunately for the Americans the news of the incident got to them before the launch time.

The Europeans on the other hand failed to get the news till after everything had happened which caused another 10,000 people to get caught in the death game.

This is the story of my time in the European server of the death game;

Sword Art Online

Le Line Break Of Destiny

As I awoke that morning like I did every other morning or my quite boring and dreary life, I felt quite happy for once; I had pre-ordered the new revolution for the gaming industry. Sword Art Online; the first Vr game of its kind, while they had made little Vr game like crosswords and other such brain teasers, there hadn't been anything that satisfied the immense hunger of the gaming community, that is, until Sword Art Online came along.

It was an mmo unlike any other; (aside from the fact it was a Vr game) it had no magic spells or powers like in almost every Rpgmmo game, although it did have magic items for healing and other stuff, I sort of understood why they made it that way; it would simply be more fun to swing a sword or mace then to standing there chanting a spell, in my opinion anyway.

While thinking about topics such as that I got up out of my warm comfortable bed and sat in my computer chair, I looked over at my magnificent gaming computer which I had had custom made for me as a Christmas gift one of the previous years.

I turned it on pre-emptively as I knew what the day would consist of: playing Sao like a madman, I smiled to myself as I thought about how I would finally be escaping reality for a world with weapons and quests and monsters to be slain! Another smile creeped on my lips as I continued thinking about it like that.

Luckily for me It was a Sunday so I needn't go to school which was a very pleasant

thing for me as I was kinda the odd one out, the guy who sat in the corner of the class, the guy with no friends, unfortunately that made me a direct target for bullies, that was one of the reasons I got into gaming other then the fact that I enjoyed it a lot; escaping reality and adventuring in a world where the weapon in your hands can take you where ever you want to go.

Bullies were also the reason I felt like I had just woken up from a coma as I had cried to sleep since Friday as the bullying was worse that day then usual, nevertheless I dragged myself downstairs to say good morning to my mother and to get breakfast.

I launched myself on the couch as I said morning to my mother who had already been making me breakfast (I swear she is psychic sometimes), I sat there once again thinking about Sword Art Online; Since I had pre-ordered it I would get an in-game manual and a pretty epic starting kit with armor and weapons and everything (which I was able to pick the color of), even a little bit of In-game currency too.

As I finished that thought my mother placed my breakfast down in front of me, one of my favourite foods; A Nutella sandwich which I monstrously devoured in 3 bites, drank up my drink just as quick and bolted up the stairs to start playing Sao.

I grabbed the Nervegear which was required as it was the device that brought my sense's into the game by cutting off the signals my brain sends to my body and instead sends them to the game, apparently, I wasn't very interested in how it did it to be honest.

I pulled the headset on and the first thing I noticed was how heavy it was, it felt like a bowling ball on my head! So I put my head down on my pillow to help support it, once I had gotten comfortable I muttered the voice command to start the nervegear and Sao; "Link start"

My room and everything in it disappeared momentarily as a bunch of different color's blasted past my vision as the checks for my senses were carried out after which I was brought to the character creation screen, I inputted a username for my character- Shade; it was my generic username that I used for everything as it closely resembled my real name.

I was also able to choose the character's height and width, I made them as close to my actual width and height as I could, after that once I was happy with the appearance of my character I pressed on the "done" button with my finger and the screen as well as everything around me dissipated.

I felt myself land on cobbled paths,

I made a fist with my hand and then opened my Eyes.
