Hey guys so this is the preview for my new SAO story. I went out of my way to make it so I could still do anything I wanted to with this story, so please send me some plot ideas. Remember I will answer all p.m.'s I receive everyday between the hours of 3 and 5pm EST.

November 6, 2022, Kirigaya Household

It was about 12:50, and it looked like it was about to rain. Outside the window, Kazuto could see dark clouds gathering, threatening to release a flood of rain onto the population of Japan.

But he didn't care. He had no intention of leaving his home today. Finally, after months of waiting and watching, today was the big day. The launch day. Today, the first ever Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (VRMMORPG) was to be released.

Sword Art Online.

He glanced at his clock. 12:54. He got up from his computer desk and began preparing his Nerve Gear. As he was setting up, a voice called up to him from the foyer.

"Kazuto! I'm off to practice! I'll see you when I get home, OK?"

His sister… no his cousin, Suguha, only about a year younger than himself. They had been raised together like brother and sister, until Kazuto had finally figured out that they weren't siblings. Ever since then he had put a little more distance between them. As far as he knew, Suguha still thought he was her brother.

He ignored her, and went on setting up his Nerve Gear as he heard the front door close. Once he was done, he glanced at the clock again. 12:58. He laid down on his bed and slipped on the helmet and waited.

12:58

Finally, after all these months, he was finally able to return to the world he had come to love during the beta test.

12:59

He smiled, keeping a constant watch at the time in the top right corner of his vision.

13:00

"Link, Start!"

With those words, his room disappeared, and all he could see was black. Then, suddenly, he was racing down a tunnel of rainbow colors, and then everything went white. He saw the symbols that showed that the Nerve Gear was calibrating to his main senses. Once they were done, he would be able to see, taste, hear, feel, and smell everything as if he was still in the real world.

As the white faded away to be replaced by pure black, five words appeared before him that made him smile.

WELCOME TO SWORD ART ONLINE
