Dreaming Blade

I own nothing from SAO, nothing at all.

VR-1-SAO - Phase 1

12:00 AM

"... Just call me PoH"

Those were the words the man spoke, he seemed older than me. He was good-looking enough for most females to fall for him. He seemed to have relatively good equipment, with a dagger called "Copper Dagger".

He seems omnivorous doesn't he, but I guess making friends with another person isn't so bad... Is it?

The man called PoH waved his hands in front of my face.

"Hello? Are you there?"

Syandara snapped out of his subconscious quickly by shaking his head.

"Oh, um, yeah, I'm here."

"So, do you know where to train? I mean we should get a head start after all, everyone is level 1 at the moment."

"Yeah, well I'm almost level two."

"That's better! Let's get training right now!"

"I guess."

Just like that, Syandara and his new companion started jogging in the general direction of where "Dire Wolves" were.

3:00 PM

"Wow, I can't believe I already got to level two in the first day!"

"and, here I am, almost three quarter 's to level two."

"Well, I am a beta tester"

Albeit not a very good one.

"Well, that means I'm pretty good right?"

"I guess"

Syandara said as he flipped his curved sword in a reverse grip and stabbed yet another "Dire Wolf"

Syandara and PoH trained like this until it was around 6:00 PM, with both gaining experience at a extremely fast rate.

"So, what happens when we get tired and hungry here?"

"Well, we can eat at the restaurants made by NPC's, and we can sleep at hotels when we get tired."

"Well, it is 6:00 PM, I think we should get lunch."

"Yeah your right, lets start heading back to the Town of Beginnings."

By this time, Syandara was Level 2 and 3/8th of the way to Level 3, while PoH just reached Level 2.

As soon as Syandara and PoH started walking back towards the starting town, they heard a scream.

"HELP!"

"What the hell?! Already someone needs help? Quickly, PoH lets help him!"

"Alright!"

Both of them ran towards the direction of the scream and after climbing a steep hill, they saw a two players surrounded by a pack of "Dire Wolves", one female player who was using a one handed sword and one male who was using a axe, both of them using basic starting armor. They obviously were in need of help. As soon as Syndara saw this, he grabbed PoH's hand and pulled him while running towards the players.

The male player was about to lose his last sliver of health from a Dire Wolf's attack, but Syandara jumped down and countered the bite with his curved sword.

"Are you alright?!"

Surprised that he wasn't dead the male player regained his stance.

"Yeah... I think so..."

It seems like PoH was helping the female player. They were doing fine against the dire wolves.

Syandara activated the one hit skill 'Slant' across three wolves and quickly annihilated all three wolves at once. The other male activated 'Horizontal' and destroyed only one wolf. Syandara activated 'Vertical' in a attempt to hit two more wolves, but only hit one, while the other one pounced on his arm, quickly, Syandara blocked the bite with the edge of his curved sword and used his foot to bind it to the ground, while stabbing it downwards.

PoH and the female was nearly done with their side, with PoH finishing the last wolf with a quick slash across it's face.

All of them were exhausted, Syandara sat down with the other males back on his back. Both covered in sweat. The males health was close to none, Syandara's health was in the yellow state, PoH in green status, and the female also in green status.

As soon as they all calmed down, PoH started walking slowly towards Syandara.

"Oh PoH, are you fine? Do you have a spare potion this guy is almo-"

PoH stabbed the man, ending his life, when the males avatar burst into millions of polygons of data. PoH's cursor turned to a dark crimson red color.

It was silent, PoH was the first player killer in the game.

Syandara and the female both drew their weapons.

"WHAT THE HELL MAN, WHY DID YOU KILL HIM? AREN'T YOU TRYING TO END THIS DEATH GAME?"

the female was silent, but PoH wasn't. He laughed, not a normal laugh, but a maniacal laugh.

"You really think this is illegal in Aincrad? The system allows me to do it, so clearly it's not against the rules. I thought you knew better, I was even going to recruit you to join my guild as soon as I started it up. Your a fool. You really think I clear about clearing this game? Please, I was just using you, your a mere pawn to me."

"REALLY? YOU KILLED HIM BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE THE SYSTEM ALLOWS YOU TO DO IT, IT IS PERFECTLY FINE TO END SOMEONES LIFE?!"

"Yes. Here's a deal, gather your hatred for me, find me when your stronger than me. Then talk to me, find me when you're strong enough to beat me, because as of right now. You stand no chance."

"YOU REALLY THINK THAT?"

Syandara activated 'Uppercut' in a attempt to hurt PoH. PoH countered easily by moving his blade up a view inches.

"Your far too weak, as I said, meet me when your stronger. Strong enough to beat me".

PoH then moved his dagger in a single swiping motion and knocked Syandara backwards into the female. Which the female then caught Syandara.

... Ugh, fine, I'll find you, then I'll hunt you down, I'll become the player that will hunt down player killers.

PoH was already at a distance where he could be barely seen. The female player was crying. The male player was probably a good friend of hers.

"Are you alright? Who was he? I thought he was a nice guy?!"

"... His name is PoH. He was someone that I met in the Town of Beginnings. I'll find him, and I'll kill him."

"... He seems really strong, but anyways, whats your name."

Syandara picked himself off the ground and stood up and held out his hand for the girl to grab.

"My name is Syandara. Yours?"

"My name here in Aincrad is Inori."

"I know we just met and all, but you should probably go back to the nearest town to get some rest, it must have been a shocker to see your boyfriend die."

"Oh no, he wasn't my boyfriend, he was just a normal friend that also happened to log into SAO"

"Doesn't matter, go back to town. I'm training, I'm not going to sleep or eat tonight"

"Are you going to be okay?"

"I'll be fine. I'm a beta-tester. I'm going to get stronger, and destroy PoH."

"Are you a idiot? Are you waging a war against a murderer guild that will probably be made?

"No, it won't be a war."

...

"It will be a one sided annihilation."

And just like that, Syandara left Inori and ran back towards the fields.

A/N

Okay, I got the Syandara's main objective stated out, so yeah, yay me. Also, PoH (Prince of Hell) is yes, the leader of "Laughing Coffin" and will be a major antagonist in the future.

Another thing is whether I should pair Syandara and Inori together, still don't know about that one. You can tell me through reviews.

Anyways, thanks for reading and please, if you have time, review my story.
