This is my first fanfiction so I have no idea how this will go but I hope you enjoy it.
It was a dark night in Aincrad. Most players have logged out by this time. The rest are asleep without a care in the world. Kirito on the other hand was one of the only players still logged in. It's only been a week and he's been on SAO non-stop. Tonight he spent the whole night on SAO unknowing what's about to happen.
'So is that a deal Kirito?' the loud voice bellows throughout the boss room. Kirito firmly replied 'Fine but if I die don't let Asuna kill herself' Heathcliff nodded with a faint grin. He turned out of his immortality. The cheat Kirito thought. He knew everyone in knights of the blood oath trusted him as a leader. Yet he's the one who trapped everyone here in this virtual world. Kirito thought of how he'd enjoy defeating Heathcliff then going home to see his sister again, seeing Asuna in real life, seeing…
DEAD.
The words flashed up onto his screen instantaneously. The blade of Heathcliff had struck Kirito in half right through the middle. At the last second Kirito saw Asuna's eyes tear up whilst she screamed what he thought to be his name Kirito died.
Kirito woke with a shout of pure agony as he leapt up out of his bed. He was having another nightmare. It was again about the day it all ended, the day old Aincrad was destroyed. A day he'd never forget. Kirito opened the menu and looked for his friend Klein. Too bad it's nighttime of course he's not on. He has a job, surprisingly a girlfriend (nobody knows how that happened) why would he be on this late? Why would anyone?
Kirito was the only one online. No Asuna, no Klein not even Tiffany, It was always fun calling him that, and so Kirito was alone. Kirito decided to do some late night grinding. He was only level 10 anyway. He was going to face the boss tomorrow. He had to be prepared for what was ahead. Kirito and Asuna had found the boss only the day before whilst fighting through the tower. Kirito had to be the one to take it down.
The nightmare that happened only a few hours ago had gone. The fierce battles with level 1 monsters had probably locked it into the back of his mind. Hoping to not be let out again. Somehow he gained two levels that night from constant training. It was fun. Not having to worry about the possible threat of death or even others dying. Just him wanting to be the strongest again in Aincrad.
The next day
'Asuna attack the beast from the sides, I'll take its head'. The attack force was at it again. With the re-launch of SAO everyone wanted to grind their way to the top. The attack force was the best squad to do it with. Formed from old members of Knights of the Blood Oath and all of Kirito's friends they were the best guild in all of Aincrad. Kirito had sent the whole guild out to tackle floor 1 very early on. With 25 players so far in the guild it should be easy to take down the boss especially on floor 1. Kirito knew that considering the boss was exactly the same as last time. Not even a higher level, not even a boosted stat or two.
It was easy to lower the beasts health. Soon enough it's damage was in the red. Carefully Asuna attacked with a flurry of blades. She was ready to take that last attacking bonus. She wanted it very badly, after Kirito had stolen it last time. She saw the beasts health drop to 0. It was hers the final attacking bonus. After looking at her item for a while she stopped and turned round to Kirito. She smiled. Her smile made Kirito happy as it always did. Slowly he walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
He whispered softly 'this is why I'm not a solo player anymore'
