A/N: First I want to thank Agent 94 and Kilo6 for reviewing and helping me figure out how to write anything in the first place. Looking back now I relies that the last chapter was terrible in a way. So I will try to improve over time, so don't hate me if it's still bad.

Again I don't own SAO, just the OCs

As the game settings load in front of me, I quickly calibrate the system and went to character design. I made him dark skinned and about 5'11". I gave him short black hair and dark brown eyes. Kayaba said that our avatars going to be disabled as long as we didn't look at the mirror item that was given to everyone. Even with that said, I didn't want to make my character look to different or inhuman because I would have to interact with the players a lot. Finally, I made my character's clothing color scheme red with a black trim. After completing the character design the username box popped up and I typed in the name 'Bromious'. I pressed the complete button and light flashed in front of me. As the light faded, my a huge ruby palace appeared in front of me. A lights started to shine to the right of me as another avatar appeared beside me.

I looked over to see a light skinned female with ruby red hair and scarlet red hair who was about 5'8". I looked above her head and read that her name was Hikari. I figure that must have been Ruby and she decided to come up with her own name.

"So you went with a more optimistic name huh." I said.

"Yeah, this name gives the dying players a more comfortable feeling about dying. I just hope that there aren't too many casualties."

"That's the problem with this death game; the people who die here, die in the real world too."

We started walking towards the ruby colored palace and saw that the outside was actually made of real ruby. We went inside and found five platforms that rose into the celling, obviously to the rest of the palace. When we got up to the next floor we found ourselves in a large foyer with five hallways leading to different rooms. Over the five hallways were name plates apparently for us to name which room was ours, the fifth on had the word 'Armory' on it. We heard voices coming from a path that led to a spiral stair case and started going up. When we got to the top of the stairs we found giant twin door slightly open. I pushed the right side door in so that we could enter the room and saw that it was something like a council meeting room. The room was completely white with a path leading to a large open area. There were five tall pedestals surrounding the area. I noticed that Xavier and Sophie's avatars had already chosen a pedestals and were waiting for us at the top.

Xavier's avatar was about 5'10" with dark skin, with a slim build. He wore a dark green tunic and pants. His had made his face to look like a more mature version of his real face and his eyes were a hazel color. I looked above his head and saw the word Okami. Sophie's avatar was a 5'4" light skinned female with short blond hair. Her face was set to look innocent and child-like with cerulean blue eyes. I saw that she went with I suggest as her name and chose Iris.

"How did you guys get up there" I asked

Okami looked down at me and Hikari and said, "We used our game master powers. There's an entire list of them on our menu. Just open it, select Admin Options and then toggle flight on."

Hikari and I did as Okami said and soon found ourselves starting to rise off the ground. We flew over to the two pedestals that were on either side of the pedestal directly in front of the entrance. Just as we landed on our respective pedestals and toggled our flight power off, Kayaba teleported onto the fifth pedestal were a red cloak with a golden trim.

"Welcome to the 100th floor of Aincrad, or as it is called, the Ruby Palace. This will be our headquarters were we will hold our meetings to discuss the advancement of Aincrad. The palace is stocked with all the supplies one will ever need. It also holds an armory that is stocked with the every weapons that could possibly be made. In fact, after this meeting has been concluded, you will be able to get yourself settled into the palace and pick your weapon of choice. Now onto business."

Kayaba went more into the details of our positions as admin of the game. He told us to be careful about using any game master abilities if we are interacting with player. He also told us that we could choose level up by experience or us the GM powers to instantly level up. Quite frankly I since I will have to stick around the players more, I would have to level up the normal with only slight help from my GM powers.

"Now that the meeting is over, you all can go and settle into the palace. I hope you find everything accommodating and are able to make it to my appearance to the players in the Town of Beginnings." Kayaba said before he teleported away.

"So I guess we should get ourselves settled in" I said to the others

We jump down of the pedestals and went over to the armory. What we found inside was a wide array of weapons and gear. I was particularly fond of the variety of great swords the armory had in stock. The material they were made out of grew in durability as the level required to wield them increased. As I looked down the aisle I saw a great sword held on a pedestal with ray of light shining on it. I checked the details on the sword, its name was "The Claymore" and sure enough it had the highest stats out of any of the great swords. The level required was only set to 60 which wasn't that bad, but with my restriction on auto leveling that would make it all the more worth it. For now I picked up the basic great sword and add enough skill point to have basic techniques and combos with it. As I left great sword aisle I saw Okami coming from the dagger aisle with a daggers on his belt. Hikari came from the saber section with a basic curved sword at her side, and Iris had a basic rapier with her. Now that we were all set we head out of the palace to get to the Town of Beginnings in time for Kayaba's appearance.

When we teleported into town everyone was already corralled into the town center. Luckily we got there after the forced teleportation so we weren't stuck in the town center. Since everyone would be confused with the forced transport they wouldn't be looking in the direction of the cathedral. So we toggled on our flight ability and flew up to the spires of the cathedral to watch the chaos unfold. Soon enough the sky turned red with warning signs and red slime started dripping from it.

"I guess someone likes to show off a bit." Okami said

"He gets points for awe but I probably could have done it better." I said

"Sure you could have" Hikari said sarcastically. I scowled at her and she laughed.

Kayaba talked to the players about the truth of the game and that there had already been many death in the first few hours of the game. Before he left he gave all the player the mirror item and the entire square was filled with light as the players were reverted to their real life appearance.

"Well that's one way to make this world more realistic" I said

"True but did you hear about all the early game deaths, I'm going to be busy for a while and I haven't even started working." Hikari complained

"But how hard can your job be after a few months have passed. Most of the players will get better at the game and there won't be as many deaths. And I'm sure you don't have to stay in the death zone for the whole time, you can just hang with Bromious and the other players." Iris said as Kayaba started to disappear and we flew down of the spire.

As I went down, I started to see some of the players run out of the Town of Beginnings. Those were either Beta testers or really brave players who believe they are stronger than the other.

"We better start getting to work" I said to the others

"Why don't we start tomorrow? Most of the players are still too disoriented to do much more of anything today." Iris said.

"Plus Heathcliff might want to talk to us a little bit more and show us what his avatar will look like." Okami said.

"Fine. To be honest I am kind of tired already" I said as we teleported back to the Ruby Palace.

Thus ends the second chapter of my story. Tell me what you think of it so far and if there are still problems let me know. I am trying to make it so that it's not a bunch of blocky text and actually readable. Rate and Review, thanks for reading.
