2X2 Swords

by Kirito'sDarkRepulser

What if Kirito wasn't the only dual-wielder in SAO? Meet Max, aka Ryuken, a player who can also dual-wield and possibly change the future of all 10,000 players. I update at an unimaginably slow pace.

PROLOUGE: THE BEGINNING

Max sighed as stood up from his seat and lied on his bed. He then placed the Nerve Gear on his head and booted it up. The next 2 words he spoke were simple words, but they were words which would change his life. Words which would put him in a survival game which only the strongest will survive. The two words were: "Link Start."

Floor 1: Starting City

Max inhaled and then exhaled deeply before finally opening his eyes. He checked his health bar. 400. Good, nothing had changed. He then checked his player name which was right next to his health bar. Ryuken. Dragon Sword. That was the name he had decided upon first entering the game as a beta tester. Now that he thought back to it, the name he had chosen was pretty childish but he would have to live with it.

Next, he opened up the menu bar. Everything looked the same but something was off. After a few moments, it hit him. There wasn't a log-out button. That meant that everyone was trapped inside this game since there wasn't an emergency log-out button. Also, if it had been simply a mistake, the GMs would have noticed by now. They would release it in the next patch, but there wouldn't be one. Max didn't know why but he knew that there was probably a mastermind behind this. Someone who is an expert at programming and would want to do something like this. Someone who created this game. Someone who is probably watching all of us now. Kayaba Akihiko.

He saw someone who was also in the Beta test running outside the city. What was his name again? Kirito? Yeah, Kirito. He probably hasn't noticed the missing log-out button yet. Well, might as well follow him, he's probably going to do some training.

To his surprise, Kirito was help up by someone with… was that PINK hair? No, somewhat more to the red side. No, it was plain pink. Probably a newbie. Well, might as well start training first. He headed to the outskirts of town. Finding a few wild boars, he started activating his sword skills and slaying them. There isn't any time to waste if what he thinks is happening is really happening.

AN: Don't worry, a lot more will be coming. This is only the tip of the iceberg. This is my first story so please don't criticize too harshly. Tips would be appreciated though.

AN #2: I update REALLY slowly so don't expect another chapter within the next 5 days.

Until next time
