And now, with the whole world watching, will the endless massacre of innocent gamers stop? (By the way, I made the cover image.)(I STOPPED WORKING ON THIS AND ALL MY STORIES HERE SORRY!)

SAO: Markiplier

Chapter 1: Beta Testing

(A/N: Heya! So I'm starting a new story (although I haven't finished any of my other ones…) This is gonna be an AU (Alternate Universe) of SAO (Sword Art Online) And so I really want to work hard on this one and hopefully it does good. I have some of this planned out so, enjoy it! (I can also make a Pewdiepie version if it's wanted.) Bye!)

"Hello, everybody! I'm Markiplier!" His smile formed across the video camera. Then he laughed a little, "And today I'm going to play a very unique game. I know not many people are able to get the beta version, but as a YouTuber I was able to get it. It is a very unique game because it requires this devicey thingy." He said and pulled up a helmet looking thing. He showed it off to the camera and then put it out of view. He talks a bit about the device and how it works. Then he continues on, "I'm sure lots of you have heard about it, and I'm so excited to play it! I just want to jump right in!" He squealed with excitement, and laughed a bit. He then looked at the camera, "I should also mention that I made it to where you guys are able to see what I see and obviously hear me talk, when I play the game. So it's like we're living it together! Man, I'm so excited. Okay guys, I'm so ready! Let's play, Sword Art Online!"

He put on the helmet, and happily laughed, "Link start!" That's when everything changed in a mere second. Flashing lights filled his vision and then round circles appeared configuring the player's five senses. Then a screen appeared asking the language, English was picked, and then a screen saying "Log in" appeared. Mark then logged into the program. Then Mark was to make his avatar. The process began and Mark ended up making a very handsome match to his likeness. His username is obviously "Markiplier". Then a screen saying, "Welcome to Sword Art Online!" appeared.

Then the world appeared before him. The sky was as blue as ever. The sights were ever so real. He looked around him and saw what he looked like.

"Very handsome if I do say so myself." He chuckled. Then, he looked around and saw other players. He continued the game and played it. He learned quickly and managed a tight focus around it. Mark commented often, mostly saying how realistic everything was. He fought monsters with skill, as best as he could. He eventually gained higher levels, and played through a lot of the beta game.

As soon as the video hit the Internet, it blazed with popularity! People were stunned by the graphics and game play. (And some just because of Mark's reactions.) The game was boosted and people were going crazy, buying their own Nerve Gear. Mark himself was stunned at the reactions, and the high demand for him to keep playing it. So, when the full game came out, Mark had an idea.
