Chapter One: The Virtual World

"Link Start!"

Hey there, my names Kijui, Kijui Jonro, and my life started in a game called SAO. I came into a system, asking to put in any appearance I would like to convert in the game. I put in my height, age, hair, and the colour of my hair. I finished up and came into a virtual world. I looked around and saw tons of players in the game. There were tons of shops as I was walking passed. I was actually a Beta Player, so I knew the basics of the game. As I was walking by, I bumped into a player who looked new to the game. I asked if they were new, and his answer was yes. I asked for his name and he said quietly, "My name is Gikato, Gikato Kurusami." "Would you like a tour around?" I asked. "Yes please," answered Gikato. I showed him around the place, showing him the shops. After a while we got a notification, a forced teleport. We both got teleported to some sort of place. Then as we looked above, warning signs popped all over the place. Then a huge mysterious man popped up, wearing a brown rope with the hood up. "Welcome to my world" the man said. I was wondering if it was the game master under the robe. "My name is Akihiko Kayaba," said the man. "As of the moment, I am the only person able to control this world," said Akihiko. "I'm sure you've already noticed that the logout button is missing from the main menu," he said. "Let me tell you that this is not a defect in the game," he said. "This is how Sword Art Online was designed to be," he said. "Once your HP is down to zero, your avatar will vanish and you will be gone in the real world" he said. "There is only one way to escape, it is to complete the game by defeating all one hundred floors" he said." You will all start of at the first floor, where you are now" he said. "You must make your way to the dungeon where you must defeat the boss" he said. "Defeat the boss on floor 100 and you will clear the game" he said. "Last but not least, I have put an item on every players inventory" he said. They all went to their inventory but swiping their right hand down. "A mirror?" I said. Me and Gikato were very confused. Then I saw a blue light flash on every player, including me. Transforming us into our real selves in the real world but in-game.
