Hey guys! I tiz otakulollies but you can call my Lolly-chan~! Or not...This is my first story, so be gentle, please! haha. As you know, I don't own Sword Art Online. BUT I SOOOO TOTALLY LOVE IT SOOOOO MUCH IT AIN'T FUNNY! O/O it's just...so perfect! Asirito forevah! Haha. Well, this is pretty much my collection of side stories that happened in SAO. Not actually, since it's...fanfiction...um...and I apologize if some of the monsters etc aren't correct, I'll try to make it accurate, but since there's not a lot of info i made some up too and... ok I'll just shut up now. ;) tehee!

Chapter One

"HAAAAH!" I screamed and tilted my sword to deliver a slant blow through 6 wolves' heads. I then followed with an uppercut to the remaining wolf on my left. I kept stabbing and stabbing and stabbing even though I knew it would've disappeared and drifted away in thousands of polygons if I left it alone. I gave a cry of frustration and anguish as I finally gave the data monster some mercy and let it dissipate. Those words still echoed through my mind.

"He's a beta tester and a cheater! He's a beater!"

I stabbed my sword into the ground. Beater...They accused me for murdering Diabel. The accused me because I was a beta tester, because I didn't warn them in that split second of realization and death. And they were right to. I should've forcedthat crystal potion down Diabel's throat, should've forced him to stay alive. Even though he was a beta tester as well, he was able to do what I couldn't possibly accomplish. I was a beater. I was selfish, I levelled up with my extra experience and survived only for myself. I fingered my "Midnight Cloak" and glared at nothing in particular.

"You reached level 27. Congratulations." The message appeared on my menu screen, but this time, I didn't feel the usual satisfaction of levelling up. After staring at my menu screen until the message faded away, I pulled out my sword from the ground and sheathed it, my expression returning back to normal. Why did I keep remembering that moment? It was levels ago. I shook my head and breathed; it didn't matter. Through the castle, I swear, I will beat this damn prison game. I moved silently through the forest, then the fields, to town. I thought about Asuna, that girl I partied with for a couple of days. It was strange, her gracefulness and beauty while fighting, and she was a beginner at that. As I was about the cross the river separating me from hunting fields and town, I heard a struggling grunt. A female training? This late at night? I crept towards the sound, and peered through the thick trunks and branches sticking out. The scene laid before me could only be explained with one word to me: unfair.

There was a female player, equipped with a two handed broadsword, surrounded by "Turtle Skulls" and "Ivy Gnomes." She must've attracted a whole lot of monsters...Her eyes were slanted in a concentration mode, but her HP bar was already below the yellow zone. Should I help? I told myself I didn't, I should let her be. After all, I was a beater. I watched on a little longer, as she swung her sword horizontally in a sweeping motion then back the way it came, knocking out 3 of the monsters. However, 2 handed broadswords took a split second longer to rebalance, and in that moment, she was swiped off the ground by a "Turtle Skull" and smashed into a tree. She screamed and slid downwards, but quickly recovered and rolled out of the way of the Gnome that came charging in. I was impressed somewhat, but that blow against the tree knocked her health bar to the red. She deflected a snarling reach from a Gnome but the numbers closed in. Suddenly, I felt my hand reach for my sword as she got pummeled again and her health bar reached dangerously close to 0 points.

"Ahhhhhh!" I shouted and ran from the trees, positioning my sword into the "Sonic Leap." I charged and with a final rush of wind, gave a low slash through two Gnomes before quickly adjusting into a "Horizontal Square," a skill I recently started training. "Hah!" I delivered the final blow and knocked out two more. Glancing at the girl, I quickly yelled. "Get up and help me!" She looked up at me in shock, then slowly nodded and picked herself up. I narrowed my eyes and evaluated the scene. 9 more monsters to go. ⅔ of them were Gnomes. I moved my left foot back, leaned forwards, then took a heading start and leaped, then positioned my arm into the beginning of a "Vertical Square" and slashed four times through one before delivering a simple uppercut to finish off another that already took previous damage.

"SWITCH!" I yelled, delivering a stunning slant blow that blinded a turtle I was currently working on. The girl behind me gasped then reacted, sprinting to take over my place. I leaped backwards, and saw her deliver a tremendous blow that somewhat resembled a small "Avalanche." The monster fell, and she moved on to a Gnome. She charged and leaped, doing a flip in the air before bring her sword above her head, and from the high altitude, swung downwards with a battle grunt, resulting in what I believe was called a "Break Through." I wasn't familiar with two handed skills. As it dispersed into polygons, she slashed at another Gnome, doing a power filled over-swing, and knocked it off its feet. Plunging her blade in its "stomach," she deflected a turtle, which cause the it to stagger off balance.

"S-Switch!" She panted and I grinned at her, sprinting in her place. I quickly leaped above the turtle, then leaped again after using its head as a stepping stone. As it reached for me in the air with a long spiked arm, I twisted out of the way and slashed the arm in half. Then, flipping so I was falling upright, I landed on the turtle's neck and decapitated it. As it disappeared through tiny crystals, I laughed. I was actually having fun saving a girl from turtle and gnome monsters. I decided to get rid of the remaining "Turtle Skull" since it was more powerful than the "Ivy Gnomes." I dodged between the gnomes blocking me, rolled under one's legs, then reached my target. Delivering a plain upwards slash while avoiding its claws, I split its abdomen open. I bounded off its leg and while twisting, kicked the wound I already created. It gave a hideous roar and swiped at me, I narrowly dodged, but received a blow to my wielding arm. Damn. I quickly took out a throwing pick and shot it at the beast's eye, stalling until my arm recovered so I could arm myself with my sword again. Until then, I would have to repeatedly punch the wound I already created, arousing more guttery shrieks from the turtle. It spat at me, its acid spittle trickling down. I quickly wiped it off, then felt my arm return back to normal. Smirking, I quickly swung a huge slash that cut through the hip, stomach, and other hip socket, killing it.

"W-watch out!" I heard a cry.
