(Five minutes before servers come online)
It was five minutes before I could return to the world of swords that I loved so much. I had already gotten lunch and told Tracie that in game my name would be Ender and that I would meet her on the north side of the plaza. Before the beta ended I traded info with one of my friends in the beta test. He said that he would meet up with me around 2:00.
As the clocked turned to 1:00 I put on my Nerve Gear and said the magic words "Link Start!" When I got in a screen appeared before me saying:
"Do you want to keep your Beta Test character info?"
"Ender"
Yes No
I selected yes and spawned into the starting city. I was close to the North side of the plaza so I walked over to the gate. While I was waiting a girl looking similar to my sister walked up to me and I asked "Tracie?"
She said yes and that in the game she went with the name Jakie. We head to the markets on the north side of the city and went to a NPC merchant. I used my col to buy a basic dagger and two basic health potions. Jakie bought a basic katana and two health potions. With our basic items we headed out to the boar fields right outside the Town of Beginnings. Before we went through the gate I sent a friend request to Jakie and sent a message to my friend telling him that I'll be in the north fields with my sister.
After we got to the boar fields I taught Jakie how to use basic sword skills and how to fight in the game. Soon we were both level 3 when I heard the voice of my friend.
"Hey Ender" I hear. As I start to turn around I shouted hey to my friend Kirito. Behind him was a blonde girl dressed in green armor. Kirito introduced her as his sister Leafa. After introductions we helped Kirito and Leafa level up.
It was around 5:30 and we were getting tired. We were all level 7 and Jakie and I were about to log off when I noticed that the log off button was missing. As I was about to mention it to Kirito we all got teleported to The Town of Beginnings.
Everyone was confused and I was worried about the missing button. Everything around us suddenly got tinted red and Kayaba appeared. After quickly explaining what was going on he offered us the best luck and mentioned a gift in out inventories.
I pulled out a hand mirror and was transformed into my real self. I looked around and saw that Jakie was her real self and what I assumed Kirito and Leafa looked like in the real world.
People started to panic as we ran out of the Plaza. We knew that the only way to survive was to become strong and level up.
