Me: Oi!
Kirito and Asuna: Welcome back!
Me: Kirito, you seem nicer.
Asuna: Forget about that now! Where have you been!?
Yui: Yeah?
Me: When did Yui get here? Anyways! I've been thinking, and re-watching the SAO season 1 over and over again. Picking up somethings, and I realized what a real sad anime it is... So I thought of someways to touch the heart of my readers!
Kirito: Reader...
Me: Oh, shut up! Anyways! Enjoy!

"Vicky, Where are we going!?" I shouted. She was dragging me roughly by my wrist again, away from The Town of Beginnings and into the field we were just in before the system announcement. She let go of my wrist and stood before me. "What's going on? What was that all about?" I already knew what was going on, but it hadn't officially registered in my head that death is possible in this game.

"Well… I guess I better spill the beans now. This game, as you know was released in 2022 in Japan." She began pacing back and fourth.

"Ok?"

"What you don't know, is that the creator, Kayaba Akihiko was the game creator. The trapped the players in the game, and did the same to them as he did to us."

"How do we know if that was Kayaba?" I asked. It was a logical question. It could have been anyone as the GM. But Kayaba was dead apparently.

"We don't. For all we know that could have been anyone!" She exclaimed. She now began to start panicking. "We should get started right away! W-we need to buy a house… A-and level up… And… And!" She fell on her knees and began crying and sobbing, without closing her eyes once. "Alex… I-i don't know what to do!" I pulled her up to her feet and hugged her tightly.

"Nee-chan… We'll be fine. I've got great reflexes… And you've played the Beta… So, we'll be ok, right?" She seemed to stop crying from there, but she was still in a panicked state of mind.

"A-alright. First things first, we should find a guild."

"I don't think anyone is thinking about forming a guild right now after what's happened." Victoria sighed and nodded in agreement.

"Right. They're going to be all freaked out… Let's go now. We'll have a level edge over everyone else…"

"Alright! Let's go right now then." I looked up and saw a dark sky. It was almost night already. I don't know if game time is the same as realife. But it sure looks realistic. I disregarded the realistic scenery for a while and turned back to Victoria. She gave me a thumbs up and smirked her usual mischievous smirk.

"Let's go!" She said happily. That's when we started our long journey to the 100th floor. No long just brother and sister, but partners. Our lives were in each other's hands.

2 weeks later

If there's anything I've learned from MMOs, it's that the first boss is usually the one that anyone could beat. Not in this game. Victoria and I heard that a whole guild attacked the boss and they all lost their lives. So we decided to see for ourselves what the boss is like. So there we were. Fighting the first floor boss by ourselves. Sure we had higher levels than anyone else (Thanks to Vicky being a beta tester) but that doesn't mean we can take a whole boss by ourselves.

"ROAOOOOR!" IIlfang the Kobold Lord roared loudly as we drew our swords.

"Don't get too close to him. He's big, but he's fast…" Vicky warned me. I nodded at her took a ready stances and we waited for the boss to make the first move. Sure enough, he roared again and charged at us. My first reaction was to dodge left, but Victoria didn't budge, so neither did I. "Now!" She shouted. Now what!? I thought. She jumped to the side and let Fang pass, so I mimicked her and jumped out of the way. "Switch!" I ran forward and swung my sword towards the large red and blue behemoth. I miss horribly, but I to regroup quickly because he was going to attack me! He swung his axe down at me, but I dodged before it could hit me. Jumped up and slashed at him again. I hit him! But it didn't really do much to his HP.

"Switch!" I jumped back and watched Victoria begin to attack him. She was fearless as she ran up to him with her sword and shield in hand. But fearlessness is what got the other one thousand killed. The Kobold charged his attack before slashing down upon the ground creating dust. Luckily, Victoria dodged before he hit her. But I was beginning to wonder if this whole game of cat and mouse was going to end with our victory. Out the dust, Victoria leapt at him at slashed his head downwards and kicking back up again with her right foot. He fell over, giving us some time for free hits. I charged forward yet again and began hacking away at his HP. The final bar dropped into the red zone. And I knew something was going to happen. With a swing up his tail, Victoria was sent crashing into a pillar, smashing it to pieces.

"Vicky!" I looked back the Kobold who was standing upright with a large silver sword held above my head. He wasn't using that the whole time… I thought. He swung down, but I blocked it. The swing had so much force, it took me down. And I lost half of my HP. In pain, I rolled over and scrambled to my feet. "Alright! Let's end this!" I took off with my sword pointed at him like I was I was jousting. One more hit! I dodged the large sword and heard it whizz past my ear. So close! I jumped forward and plunged my sword into his chest. The HP bar dropped to zero and he stopped moving. One more roar and he vanished into pixels. Falling lightly from the ceiling, I realized I forgot something. Victoria was still here. I rushed over to her and helped her to her feet.

"N-nice work…" She said quietly. Her health was way below the red zone, but just enough to keep her alive. I handed her a health potion. She nodded and drank it, restoring her health into the yellow zone. "Where's the boss drop?" she asked, sounding more like her self.

"There wasn't any…" I said. "There should be right?" I looked back where I landed and saw nothing.

"Then… The boss must be somewhere else right?" she asked. "Check your notification board." I nodded and did as told. And there it was. I let out a sigh of relief and opened it.

"The Sun's Blade." I announced. "It's a great blade. Very light apparently." I equipped it and held it in my hand. Wow, those stats were very accurate… I thought to myself as I swung it. The handle was orange, but the blade it's self was a weird shade of yellow... Like... I can't even explain it!

"Alright. Let's get out of here. I wonder how people will react to the fact another floor opened."

"Only one way to find out." I stated. I sheathed my sword and left the boss room with Victoria quietly. To our surprise, a guild was outside, waiting to enter after we were slain.

"Congratulations!" They shouted at us. We smiled weakly and thanked them. "You guys must be strong." A small girl said. The guild it's self wasn't too big. Only ten people.

"You can say that if you want..." I said humbly.

"I know this is very sudden, but do you want to go back to town with us? We're planning on go to the new floor. Why not take some experienced with us." a boy who looked to be the leader said. We accepted their offer graciously. "Ok then, let's get going back. By the way, nice sword!"

"Uh thanks..." And so, it looked as if we had a couple of friends. Though, I'm not sure if we'll stay with them for long.

Kirito: The guild is gonna die, right?
Me: I wasn't planning on that, but I might consider it...
Asuna: You should have just stayed quiet, Kirito.
Kirito: Whatever... He was gonna do it anyway.
Me: No! I was not! Anywho! Adios!
