Flashback

Once I left my house I was greeted by my friend. James he was as old as me thirteen.

"Hello dipwad" he called me like usual. It was a name he started calling me since we were five and it stuck.

"Hello dorklord" I replied and laughed which he followed with laughter. After we talked about what we had done yesterday which was going to the arcade and after we talked we left for school.


Floor 75 looked like a tower and actually had floors that weren't SAO floors. I was tracking Kiaba and his guild in here which was not hard, but once I was there I had to prepare to kill Kiaba. I had my blacksmith make a charged anitlight bomb which will cover almost this whole dungeon. I equipped my cloak I pulled the pin and threw it out


Flashback

James and I made it to school. Once inside we got thought the white halls into our classroom 2A. Once there the teacher came to the board and started his lesson. After he was finish we went to the next class and we continued this loop all day until math… we had a teacher that was a real jerk so James and I pull pranks on him a lot. We got to math class early and set up pranks and I mean pranks… not a prank. Once class begun the teacher came into the classroom and the first thing to greet him was a bucket. He didn't react well to the bucket as he fell forward and grabbed a chair covered in needles. The needles went into his hand and he flinched forward nocking his head into his desk and fainting. Everyone started to panic as three teachers came in and asked who did this… everyone's fingers were pointed at us.


The area was filled with darkness and panic. I put on my goggles and went in with my bow. I went into a ballroom. I grabbed the first knight threw him on the ground, charged a bow skill and smashed his head.

"AHHHHH"


Flashback

"You ingrate!" James father said throwing him into the wall "I gave you a great life and this is how you repay me!?" He grabbed his son by the collar. He didn't notice that I was still at the school and thought he was alone with his son.

"Sorry." James mumbled. He was then thrown to the ground

"You were thrown out of school! Sorry isn't going to get you back in! Do you know how much of a disgrace you are to me and your mother!?" he kicked his son in the stomach sending him against the wall "Don't bother coming home today…" his father left the school ground.


My curser turned yellow and I continued to the next guy looking out for something dangerous. This guy was near a friend I turned on my goggles which its new upgrade on the last level gave it the ability to glow red. I grabbed one of the knights by the neck and this alerted the other. the cloak and the goggles made me look like some type of monster. The guy screamed in horror and ran at me and started stabbing with his spear as he ran. I put the knight I was holding in the way of the spear and the spear went through like butter. Once the guy burst into data I punched through the data grabbing the guys face. His curser turned yellow because he had just killed his friend and his face showed pure horror. I tightened my grip and his head burst into data in my hand.

"James you ok?" I went to his side

"No!" he yelled with tears in his voice "I'm not ok!"

"Come on. Let me help you out." I put my hand out to help him up. My hand was swated away and he looked at me angrily

"I don't need your help! Get out of here!


Three down, three more to go… I ran to one swept his legs and stomped on his face he bursted before I was able to shot him. The last two heard my stomp and ran in my direction. I swapped to my sword and nails and threw two of them into one of the knights eyes killing him I ran up to the last night who was now cowering.


Flashback

I got a text from on James and I was on my bike back to school. As the school got in view sure enough on the roof was James outside of the gate.


As the last man burst into data the darkness cleared. Only me and Heathcliff (Kiaba) left

"Zen!? What is the meaning of th~"

"Shut up Kiaba!" I yelled at him and turned towards him and switched to my bow. As I walked to him I had my huge bow in my left hand resting on my shoulder, in my right were three anitlight bombs between individual fingers.

"So you found out…" Kiaba sighed "and I had hoped you would make it to the last floor with the others Wielder of the bow Zen Karafuta with the most accuracy in the game!" he said as he brought out his sword and shield. I charged him and threw my cape off to increase speed. I charged a throwing skill and threw the anitlight bombs. To win this I have to beat a cheater,

Kiaba blocked the anitlight bombs with his shield and they exploded on impact. I jumped in as swung down with my bow. My bow was met with his shield and when I looked at Kiaba's health bar underneath the life was a new buff… night vision. He pushed my shield away and went on the offensive. He slashed down at me and I blocked with my bow. After I blocked, I jumped to the right charging an arrow, I ran and smashed my bow into his shield. My bow was strong enough to break through the darn thing with a fully charged skill, but it would have strong kickback. I shot, but as I did just like in Kirito's fight he moved in the blink of the eye. He stabbed forward but the knockback on my bow saved me.

"It seems that item has saved you again Zen. I knew from the first moment I killed off Lexi that you were going to be the one to wield it! Yea that's right that was on purpose. Haven't you ever noticed when you went back to that spot there was no longer a monster spawn trap and that the lizards in on that floor shouldn't have poison!" He was striking the wrong emotions

"BASTARD!" I ran at him and pointed my bow towards his stomach and shot.

"This again?" he complained. He moved in the speed this time, He slashed down before the kick back this time, but I hadn't fully pulled the trigger yet. I jumped right dodging the sword and launched the bow and it went soring into his stomach


Flashback

I made it to the roof and James was on the opposite side of the gate about to jump

"Don't do it" I yelled

"I told you not to come in the text…" James got off the edge and walked up to me "Why don't you listen to me!" he punched me in the face

"What the heck!" I yelled and punched him back. we got into a fight. The fight dragged on like a middle school fights do and ended up with me pinned to a gate.

"Why didn't you stick up for me when my father was beating me?!" James was in tears "Why!" he pushed and the gate collapsed we both fell and everything went black.


The blow took him down to yellow life and screens appeared all around him that said immortal object.

"But, how?" I questioned. With that he had broken me. I fell to my knees

"Good effort player… you may be the best in all of SAO, but it ends here…" Kiaba opened up a menu "for doing so well I'll let you live, but for failing… you won't be able fulfill your promise and complete the game." What did he mean? He opened a new menu and said these life changing words.

"Forced logout, and account delete… account Zen Karafuta"

Everything went black


Flashback

"When I awoke from the darkness of my sleep"

"When I awoke from the darkness of my sleep"


Both past and present

I was in a hospital bed with white walls, and white floor, it was a cage


Present

I was in my hospital bed again.

"No!" I said screaming my lungs out. I looked down and the button to turn on the game again was right by my hand.

Move! Move! Dimmit! Move!

"Move!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. And as I did my fingers twitched. I felt an extreme pain in my fingers and then I was able to move them again. I could move nothing, but my fingers. I moved my arm by dragging it with my fingers. I was going to go back into the game, create a new account and KILL KIABA! My hand made it near the button, but before I could push it…

The doctors busted in through the doors and started wrestling the headset off of me

"No! I need to go back!" I yelled, but no one listened. All I heard from them was

"Get this thing off of him." eventually they got it off of me and gave me a shot to fall asleep.


Flashback

It's been a week since the accident and I have given up hope on life and was waiting for someone to kill me already. The doctor said it would be a miracle if I ever moved my arms again and moving my legs was physically imposable now. My life was over… but then the door opened and a man came in

"Hello Zen." The man greeted "I'm sorry for what my grandson did." I looked at him with a look of brokenness. "To say sorry I wanted to tell you that I work for a company and I can ring you to a world that can change your life for the better. I still stared brokenly… change for the better how. "I am in the process of making a game that I want you to bata call Sword art Online" He set a headset and game on my lap "here you can try it and if you don't like it, you don't have to play." He started walking out the door.

"What's your name Sir?" I asked the man. He turned to me and had a smile on his face

"I know you'll enjoy the game. My name is Akihiko Kiaba" the man bowed

"Akihiko Kiaba." I repeated the man smiled and started leaving

"See you soon in your true world Zen Karafuta"
