Chapter 1
World of Heroes
"For the love of all that is holy, get out of the fire," I moved and intercepted the boss's scythe as the twelve players left in this raid, went down to nine because three players didn't think to get out of the fire.
"Aaah," One of the remaining player, a blue haired pooka started to scream because he kept staying in the fire.
"Healer, heal him," I turned to face our only healer, a small purple haired imp who wasn't moving. He kept standing there, as one of our raid members slowly had his health depleted.
"Oh sorry I was AFK," the imp player raised his staff, and got a word of the spelling spell, as the pooka player turned into a fire. So we were basically down to eight. We left with a undine support user, another undine sword wielder, a mage completely dressed in a cloaked outfit that I can't tell their what they are, A sylph with a hammer, a gnome with a bow, our leader and me. This is going to be hell.
"Oh that's cool," I blocked the boss's attack, as three ice attacks slammed into him, as well rain of arrows. Boss should be about one bar left. My trump wouldn't work, I only get a fourth anyways. "I do have one question though. How in the hell you go AFK in a VRMMO? This is virtual reality. There is no keyboard,".
"Oh you know, "
"JUST GET BACK TO HEALING, AND MAKE ANOTHER SCREW UP LIKE THAT, AND YOU LOSE YOUR CUT," I shouted at the healer. You don't go afk in virtual reality. Its physically impossible as every action you do is your own movement. No keyboard, no mouse. Its like real life, but its all a game. Every move, every step, every swing. All you. The healer was just not paying attention.
"Ok," Our healer buddy shook his head.
"Incoming AOE," My neighbor friendly Salamander spoke up. He's right. Acktor the Reaver jumped into the air, bringing his scythe down to cause a shockwave. We moved as quick as we could, expect for one of us. Yeah, the last healer we had, went down to shockwave. Now its all seven of us, with only way to heal, are potions and crystal. Reminds me of the wow days.
"So buddy, what the plan," Salamander started to rise.
"What do you think man? We go all out. Hit him as fast as we can, with everything we got. One Last Attack, Spit," I smirked at him. "You got my back?"
"Of course, Always have, always will, Ron," Spit raised his axe, and charged right at the fight.
"Nah Rox," I raised my hands, and casted a quick spell. A large clockwork ring surrounded the boss. His movements were instantly slowed. We got maybe four minutes.
"Storm of arrows," Our gnome sniper fired even more arrows, slamming into the boss.
"Vah Rox," I casted another spell, this time surrounding Spit, then I casted again, for the rest of the party. With the last spell I casted it on me. Now we all have five minutes to attack attack bonus.
"Whirlwind," Spit shouted out as he activated the sword skill for two handed axe. He collided his attack, perfectly with a ice bullet from our undine, and another round of arrows.
"Switch," I charged forward, with Spit heading away from the boss. We were both the tanks of the raid. Spit because he can take a hit, while I'm the one with more likely to parry and dodge. "Cyclone,"
My two-handed sword greatsword glowed in a green light. I spun in a circle and slashed the boss. He's probably left with only a 1/4 health.
"My turn," The Sylph ran forward with his hammer in front of him. "Whirlwind,". He attacked the skill, spinning like a madman, a mad smirk on his face.
"Don't forget about me. Sonic Leap," Our female undine charged forward leaping and slashing our boss.
"Reh, Vos, Xat," Our spellcaster fired a ring of fire around the boss.
"Avalanche," I activated the sword skill. I moved and struck the boss with a high hitting skill. He shattered in polygons.
"BOSS CLEARED," the congratulations banner appeared in front of us. The exp and yuld we gained. I got one little item thought. A last attack bonus. I got a Dragon's edge. a one handed sword. Not really useful. Maybe I can sell it for a decent profit. Anyways the Floor 15th boss Acktor the Skeleton Lizard knight has been killed. Our names have been added to the monument of swordsmen. Thought if this was the real Aincrad, this would have been a fail. Almost our whole raid was this isn't Sword Art's Aincrad. No we been in New Aincrad, as in the one that now floating in Alfheim Online. So basically its just a lot less exciting. Might also be some of the bosses, just aren't as fun, when your higher then the original level your suppose to level that. Because of World seed me and several other players are using our SAO stats. So I'm level 100, and that's not even Alfheim max level. Which is strange because it always said it didn't have level skills. Whatever there nothing holding me back. Aurion still lives as one of the heroes of SAO, and this time he will clear New Aincrad.
"So shall we open the gate?" Spit looked at me.
"Yeah," We all went and activated the gate, which was really just pressing a button. Of , not everything in the world can be amazing as it looks. Everything looks real. Every movement is yours. The wind feels like really breathing down my face. Sun feels like its really shining bright. Wish this game had sunglass, its so bright that I really feel like I need those. Hell even the boss, and monsters feel like crazy beasts. Thought I don't see slimes having no souls in their eyes. Then again I usually kill them as fast as I can, but yeah most look like terrifying beast that needed to be put down. Makes it so more fulfilling when a swordsman defeats them. Thrill of the fight. The sword against claw. The courage it takes to charge. A hero's journey. A world of heroes.
"So what now?" Spit walked up as we reached entrance to Floor 16th: Field of blades. A army of soldiers were said to be fallen on this level.
"Onward to the next level. The Clearers can work on reaching the boss room, and gain some intel on the boss," I only shrugged at the thought of jumping back into the labyrinth. Well no one had to jump right in. There are quests, levels, items, and skills to raise. Why should I just let the journey end so soon. All I need to do is stay ahead of him.
"So what's first" Spit looked at me.
"I'm going to log off. Maybe switch over to GGO." I felt the dark grey swings of the spriggan appear on my back. I took off flying towards the nearest inn. Even though I could just buy a place on one of the levels I don't. Waste of Yuld, and I would need to keep replacing it. Be a hassle when I reached certain levels to go to a floor where I was way underleveled. At the lower levels its not really much of a challenge. From a SAO veteran skill, the lower level bosses don't really hold a challenge. Hell I handicapped myself using only basic skills just to make it more fun. Anyways I reached the inn, grabbed a room, and logged out. Can't log out in the field, might give some player a chance to rob me blind.
I removed my Amusphere as it power off, and moved slowly off the bed. Don't know why I always stay on the bed. Its not like I can move when the Amusphere is on. Just like the NerveGear, but unlike the NerveGear they can't kill you. Takes away all the fun you know. They can shock you thought. I called Ysmir about that, and turns out its a glitch. Thankful it never happened twice. Anyways I walked over to where I kept my games. I grabbed the disk for Gun Gale Online. A amusing game where relying on guns can get you far, but well limits aren't always the best part. I thought about the different worlds. In ALO and SAO I'm Quick-step the two handed swordsman. In GGO I'm Percival, a gunner who's also a gambler. Here I'm just Ron, a sophomore with a mostly normal life. Well until the SAO Incident happened, and Aurion was born, Whatever I'm going to log into GGO, There's profit to be made. I slid GGO Disk into the amusphere, and placed it on my head, and sat in my desk. "Link start".
Author's Notice: And that's that. The fact this chapter ended with a Link start was not planned. Just happened by accident. Anyways we get to see our main character. Also he's using the name Aurion. Also yes the story takes place in ALO, not SAO. I did say it was going to be a ALO more fanfiction. If the Video games can make a different story, I'm pretty sure I can as well. Of course what's the next thing for our hero. Till next time, maybe you can spare, a follow, a share, a favorite, a review, your favorite part.
