Floor 1: Town of begining

Naruto blink, his vission is all blury, he blink two more time before his vission came back to him. Naruto rise his left hand, and squeze as he grin. "Im back..." he whisper. Naruto's character has long orange spiky hair, covering some of his face, deep blue eyes, wearing an orange novice clothing with brown leather vest and black pant. "Now to find Kirito..."

"No need." A voice said behind him, he look toward it, a boy with long dark hair style, he wear a blue novice clothing and brown leather vest like Naruto with black pant. "Yo." The person extend his right hand with his palm clench.

Naruto smile widely as he punch directly to the other person clench palm. "Bro fist! Kirito! Its good to see you! How did you find me?"

The other person, now known as Kirito smile. "Bro fist, its good to see you too, to answer your question, i just accidently spawn behind you."

"Really? Awesome, anyway, let's go to the hunting field! You can take point."

"Alright." Kirito nod as he run toward the hunting field with Naruto behind him.

The twon of them run past several people who already made a party, some buying from shops, and some are flirting to get partner. A red hair character notice them runing passed him into an alley, as he realize something he quickly ran after them.

"Hey! You two there!"

Naruto and Kirito stop, both of them look behind them to see a red hair character with white clothing and brown vest panting after them.

"Us?" Kirito ask.

The red hair man finaly catch his breath. "Fwuh... Well, you two move like you two been here before, you two were in the beta-test right?"

"Y-yeah.." Kirito answer.

"You better believe it!" Naruto said with a thumb up.

The man smile. "Today my first day, show me the basic okay?"

"U-uh..." Kirito is unsure.

"Please! Im beging you!"

Naruto shrug. "Meh, why not?"

The man smile again. "Really? Cool! My name's Klien, nice to meet you two"

"Naruto, nice to meet you too."

Kirito sigh, but he smile and introduce himself. "I'm Kirito."

Floor 1, Town of Begining: West field

"Ugahhh!" Klein was thrown away as he was rammed by sword art online most basic monster, Wild boar. "Ugh... right in the crotch..." Klein was holding his crotch in great pain.

"... Gimmie a break, you dont feel anything right?" Kirito said as he and Naruto watch Klein fought a wild boar.

Klein hearing that, stop holding his crotch and reaize that he didn't feel any pain. "Oh yeah... just a habbit i guess."

"Ahahahahaha! Just like us when we first start this game!" Naruto said, laughing while holding his side.

Kirito sighed. "I told you, what importnt is your initial motion input."

"Sure, i get that..." Klein looks at the boar. "But he keeps moving aroud..."

Naruto stop laughing as he wipe his tear. "Well, if you do the motion right, and activate a sword skill..." Naruto took a peble and aim it at the boar, the peble start to glow red, then Naruto thrown it, and it hit the boar rightin its... behind. "The system will ensure the hit conects." The boar now look very pissed.

"Motion... motion input..." Klein mumble as he took a stance.

Naruto rub his neck. "How can i put this... just add a slight pause when the skill begin to active." Naruto took out a short sword, he evade the boar first charge, and block the second. "And let it explode!"

"Explode...? Huh.." Klein then begin to reaze it, as he took a stance and his sword startto glow.

Naruto and Kirito smile. "Here!" Naruto parry the boar and kick it toward Klein.

Klein let out a battle cry as he charge toward the pig, in the last second he slashed the pig in half, reducing its health to zero and making it explode.

"Alright!"

"Congrats." Kirito said as he and Klein high five.

"Yeah, congrats on beating that boar... although Wild boar are weak as a slime from other game." Naruto comment bluntly.

"Dude! You just ruin my moment of greatness!" Klein seems annoyed by the comment. "So anyway, there are a lot of skills right? Like blacksmithing and stuff?"

Kirito nodded. "Yeah, i heard there are unlimited numbers of skills,but nomagic."

"Man... creating an RPG without magic huh? Pretty bold." Klein commented while practicing a few swings.

"Uh, guys, not to ruin our moment or anything, but now the other boars are here.." They both look toward where Naruto is looking, and sees 4 wild boars and one bigger looking boar in a 2-2-1 formation. "And a frenzy boar to boot."

"Uh... this look bad." Klein said as he took a stance. "What do they want anyway?"

"Frenzy Boar usualy led a pack of wild boar on a patrol or something, since the frenzy boar is aggressive... you get the point." Naruto informed him.

"Oh man..."

"Don't worry." Kirito took out his sword. "Just remember your training."

"Yeah and don't forget." Naruto took out another short sword. "Your friends always got your back."

The boars charge and so does the three players. "I'll take the frenzy! Naruto, Klein, do something to those wild boars!"

"I got it." Naruto go to the right side to take out the boars.

"Yosh! Let's go!" Klein charge the left side as Kirito in the middle.

Naruto evaded the first chage of the first boar, and jumped over the next one, he immidietly turn around and stab his short swords, resulting the second boar to stop. Naruto then proceed to stab it again killig the low level first boar stop to turn around, Naruto use that chance to sprint toward it and slash it two times using his swords, the boar stumble in pain and Naruto thurst his swords, killing it.

Meanwhile, Klein having a little trouble, since he's inexperience, him having a little bit of a hard time. Klein took damage, but he manage to somehow kill the boars.

"Klein! Let's help Kirito!" Naruto yelled as he sprinted toward where Kirito ia currently fighting the boar, Kirito is dodging a charge from the frenzy boar, "Kirito! Switch!" Naruto yelled seeing a chance, charge and dive his swords to the boars back, stagering it, Kirito quickly took the chance and cleave the boar head clean, dissapearing it completly.

Naruto released the breath he was holding. "Man... we are so rule... believe it."

Klein laugh while panting. "I know right?"

Kirito laugh. "Well, im just happy we manage to survive our first ecounter with a frenzy boar..."

"The first time we got our ass kicked." Naruto said remembering the memory. "Ah... The memory."

Kirito nod. "Anyway, let's hunt a little more."

Time Skip

"I still can't believe it, no matter how many time i see it..." Klein said as he watch the beautiful view of Sword Art Online world. "That we're in a game... whoever made itis a genius."

Right now, our heroes are sitting and resting at the edge of a cliff in west field while watching the beautiful view of the SAO world, Naruto sitting at the edge, beside him are Klein, a little far away from the edge, and Kirito whose the only one standing up.

"It's really beautiful, im glad i was born in this time." Klein continued.

Kirito shooked his head. "You made a big deal out of everything."

"Its my first time full diving you know!"

Naruto rise an eyebrow. "So, this is your first time playing a game with NerveGear?"

"I rush out and bought the hardware to play SAO, i was lucky to get one of the ten thousand you two are tentime more lucky, getting into the beta test, only a thouand people manage to do it." Klein said with a hint of proud on his voice.

Naruto and Kirito look at each other before shruging. "I guess so."

"How far did you two get in the beta?"

"Well, for a couple of months only to level 8." Kirito answer.

"And that's hard as hell, believe it." Naruto said, remembering the time they we're beta testing.

Kirito nod, then he smile. "But now, it'll only take a month."

Naruto laugh. "You got that right! Bro fist!"

"Bro fist."

"Huh... you two are really into this." Klein said as he watch the two interact.

"To be honest." Kirito unsheath his sword. "During the beta test, SAO was the only thing i can think of day and night, in this world, a single blade can take you anywhere you want to go." He stop. "Its a virtual world, buti still feel more alive than in the real world."

Naruto look's away grimly.

"Anyway." Kirito said cutting the silent. "Want to hunt somemore?"

"Hell yeah!" Klein said, but then he hold his stomach. "But im starving... so im loging out."

"Eating food here only made you think your full." Naruto said. "The damn thing is, there's no ramen."

"Ah... well, don't worry! I already order a hot pizza for 5;30!" Klein said.

Kirito sweatdrop. "Wow, you're prepared"

"Of course! After eating im getting back here." Klein said as he stand up. "Hey guys, after this im gonna meet on some people i know from other games, want to friend them too?"

Kirito looks away, Naruto just rub his head while sighing, Klein, sensing the akwardness said. "Of course, you dont have to if you dont want it, it's okay, i'll introduce you two on a later time."

"U-uh... yeah, sorry." Kirito said with hints of akwardness.

"Hey, you know, i've been wondering, if my cooking skill high enough, will i be able to make ramen?" Naruto wondered out loud.

Kirito sweatdrop. "You've been wondering about it since beta test."

Klein laughed. "Hehehe... man.. you two sure make an odd group."

"Hey!" Naruto seem offended.

Kirito sigh. "So we've been told."

Klein shook his head in amusement. "Anyway, i owe the two of you, i'll repay it someday, in mental." Klein pat the other two players shoulders. "Anyway, thanks for everything." He extend his hand, Kirito accept it and shook his hand, then Naruto.

"If you have any question, just ask Kirito or me, believe it."

"Yeah, just tell me or Naruto."

Klein nod. "Yeah! I'll do that!" He mock salute the two, and open his menu, searching for his log out option. "Huh?"

Kirito, knowing something wrong, ask. "What's wrong?"

"There's no button to log out."

Now that gained the two attention. "What? Look closer."

"Its not there."

Naruto open his menu. "Its right... Huh? There isn't any...?"

"See? Not there."

Kirito open his menu, and check too, sure enough, there isn't any log out option. "No... there isn't.."

"Well, its just came out of Beta right? The game are bound to have some bug, im sure the server people are freaking out."

"In a second you will be too." Kirito said. "Its 5:25." He point out.

Klein give his most horror looking face. "No! My teriyaki mayo pizza and ginger ale!"

"AAAhhhggkk! Today Robert making ramen as dinner too! Nooooo!" Naruto too showing a horrific face while screaming to the world of his missery.

Kirito sighed, being the only sane one. "Just call the game master."

Naruto and Klein stop screaming. "Oh yeah..." Narto said,now remembering.

"I tried, but i got nothing! Is there any other way to log out?" Klein said and ask.

Kirito begins to think. "I don't think so, if players want to logged themself out, they have to go through the menu."

"That's nuts!" Klein said not believing. "There's gotta be someway!"

"Return!" Klein do a pose. Nothing happen.

"Log out!" Another pose, and still nothing happen.

"Escape!" Still nothing.

"It wont work." Naruto said with a almost panic face. "There's no secondary exit in the manual either."

"You got to be kidding me... Oh i know! I just rip out the NervGear on my head!"

"That wont work." Kirito interupt Klein futile action. "We cant move our real body, the NervGear intercept everything we told our body to do here." Kirito point at his head.

"Y-you can't be serius..."

"We can either wait for someone to fix the bug, or for someone to remove the NervGear from us." Naruto said.

"But i live alone." Klein said. "What about you two?"

"I have a... uncle back home." Naruto answered.

Kirito was silent for a minute. "I have a mother and a sister."

Kirito immediately interupted by Klein as he dash toward Kirito. "H-how old is your sister?"

Kirito was getting really freak out. "S-she's on a sport team...she hates game and she has nothing to do with people like us!"

"That's not-" Klein was interupted as Naruto grab his shoulder and throw him away. Kirito cough to regain his composure. "More importantly, don't you think it's weird?"

"Weird? Yeah, its a bug." Klein answer.

"No, it isn't a bug is it Kirito?" Naruto ask.

Kiritonod. "Yeah... if we can't log out, don't you think that will pose a serious problem for the game future?"

"Yeah, i guess your right."

"If they wanted to, they can just shut down the server and log everyone out." Kirito continue.

"And there isn't even an annoucement..." Naruto said, thinking.

*Gong* *Gong*

The sound of the town large bell was heard, as blue lights surrounded them.

Town Of Begining

When the light was clear, they see they are at the town center, and every player too started to appear one after another.

"What in the-" Naruto question was cut off as someone pointed something in the sky.

"Up there!"

A red warning signs can be seen, then the signs spread to the entire sky. A blood like ooze start to fall down and form something, a humanoid creature, when it's done a humanoid hoded figure appeared wearing a crimson robe, with his face covered entirely.

"A game master?"

"Why doesnt he have face?"

"Is this an event?"

"Welcome players to Sword Art Online, my world," the hooded figure spoke in a deep and booming voice.

"My world?" Kirito ask whisper.

"I am Kayaba Akihiko, as of this moment the only person who can control this world," the hooded figure greeted.

The players eyes went wide, now knowing who he is.

"Is that really him?"

"He must've spent a lot of time for this."

"I know many of you are wondering about the logout button went missing. I wish to tell you that this is not a defect in the game, but all part of Sword Art Online," Akihiko said making many eyes widen.

"What!? Is he insane?" Naruto said, griting his teeth. That guy pissed him off!

"You cannot logout SAO yourselves, and no one on the outside can shut down or remove the NerveGear," Akihiko said before continuing, "if one were to attempt to remove your Nerve Gear during gamplay…the Gear would sent off microwave waves that would destroy your brain and thus, ending your life."

Many players gasped as some took a step back, but Akihiko wasn't finished.

"What's he talking about? He must be insane, right guys?" Klein asked.

"He's right." Kirito answered. "The transmitter work like a microwave."

"If the safety turn off, then it could fry the brain." Naruto continued. "And the gear had an internal battery, so power cutting is out of the question."

"But that is crazy! What's going on here?!"

"Unfortunately, some players family and friends has ignore this warnig, 213 people had already suffered that fate regrettably and gone forever," Akihiko informed bringing up a screen with various pictures of players... was a players. There was news coverage all around and various videos of families and friends breaking down crying.

"Its... that many?" Naruto asked in shocked.

"213..." Kirito whisper.

"Damn it! I dont beieve it!" Klein said.

"The entire world news has already reporting this, including the deaths, thus you can assume the danger of NerveGear being remove is minimal. So relax and focus on beating" Akihiko said calmly. "But, i want you to remember thsi clearly, there's no method to revive someone in this game, if your HP reach zero, your avatar will forever lost and the NerveGear will destroy your brain."

The players can only stares in shock of what Akihiko just calmly proclaimed.

"There's only one mean to escape, and that is to complete the game. Currently you are in the lowest floor of Aincard, floor 1, if you make your way through the dungeon, and beat the dungeon boss you may advance to the next level until you reach floor 100 where the last boss is waiting, defeat it, and you will clear the game." Akihiko said.

"Clear?"

"What is he talking about!?"

"No! Your lying!"

"Beat 100 floors? That's imposible, the beta tester doesn't even made it that far yet!" Klein yelled.

Kirito and Naruto only glares at Akihiko.

"And finally, i've added a present to your inventory, please see it yourself."

Kirito and Naruto exchange looks, and open their inventory.

'Inventory:'

-Mirror.

"Mirror?" Kirito ask as he and Naruto took out the mirror.

"Uagh!?" Klein screamed suddenly as he surounded by blue light, so does the other players, including Kirito and Naruto.

When the light faded, every characters transformed. "Kirito, Naruto, you guys okay?" Kirito and Naruto looked toward the sound, and sees a man with short red hair.

"Who are you?" Kirito asked.

" Who are you two?" The man asked, Kirito and Naruto look at the mirror, and see their faces, real faces. Kirito has a short black hair and black eyes, he was quite the pretty with his thin and small body, hell he could past as a girl! He's shorter than Naruto.

"What in ramen!? I'm me!" Naruto freaked out. "Kirito! You're you! And that mean..." Naruto looks at the red hair man. "Klein!"

"Naruto! Kirito!" Klein exclaimed. "How...?"

"Probably the NerveGear, it cover your entire face with high density signal or something, so it can see what your face looks like." Naruto guessed.

All the players too, transformed into their original forms, all the men that lies behind their character was found out, and some girls even turn into guys! Which is very disturbing.

"But... our height and bodyweight?" Kirito asked.

"Well, when we first use it, it had us calibrate it right? You have to toch your body all over." Klein answered.

"That's right... i dunno it will be this advance though..." Naruto said.

"But why?"

"I'm sure he'll tell us." Kirito answered, pointing to Akihiko.

"I'm sure you are wondering, 'Why?' Why would Kayaba Akihiko, the founder of SAO and NerveGear do all this? My goal has already been achieved, my goal in creating SAO... its to create it and intervene it, and now its complete... The tutorial for SAO launching is complete... good luck players..." Akihiko transform into a red mist and get back to the sky, makig the red warning sign, dissapeared.

All the players look where Akihiko was before, all of them lost for words, that is, until some one drop the mirrors and scream.

"Nooo!"

"Screw you!"

"Let me out! Let me out!"

"Hep us! Someone?"

"I havea meeting after this!"

"Help us! Help us!"

Kirito and Naruto look at each other and nod. "Klein, come with us."

"Huh!? W-wait!"

Naruto and Kirito drag Klein to a desserted street.

"Listen to me Klein, we're heading to the next village right now. Come with us."

"Huh?"

"If what he saidis true." Naruto said. " The only way to survive is to make yourself as strong as possible... In other words, the money and EXP we can learn are limited. The field around here will soon be hunted clean, and that's not a good thing."

"In toher words." Kirito continue. "To do this efficiently, we need to head to the next village i remember the route and dangerous area's, so even at our current level, we can reach there safely."

"But... but you know..." Klein sigh. "I spent a night in line to buy this game with my friends from other games, they're out there, in the plaza, i can't leave them."

Kirito and Naruto stay silent, knowing that the more players they bring, will increase the danger.

"Sorry, i can hardly ask for anything else can i?" Klein said. "So dont worry about it, go to the next village, i used to run a guild in my other game you know." He give a thumb up. "I can use what you two taught me by!"

Naruto and Kirito look at each other. "Allright, then, let's say good bye here, send us a message if anything happen alright? Us both still in your friend list you know." Naruto said.

"Okay."

"Well, bye then Klein." Kirito said, as he and Naruto prepare to walk away.

"Kirito! Naruto!" The two boys stop. "Uh... you know Kirito, your pretty cute, my type, and Naruto, your looks right now sit you better."

Naruto and Kirito smile. "That unkempth face of your suit you ten time better."

Naruto laugh. "Hahahahaha, believe it!" Then heand Kirito turn around and run, as he take one last look back, Klein already gone. "I don't like saying good bye's..."

"Me too."

The two of them run and keep running passing the desserted street and into the field.

"We... we're going to survive!" Kirito cry out.

"Hell yeah we are! Believe it!" Naruto cry out as he and Kirito keep running to they're destination, a wolf appear in front of them and ready to attack, but both of them we're ready and unsheath they're sword, and cut the wolf in half.

""WE WILL SURVIVE!""

To be continue.
