Life in the Game

by Deathangelz5

Kira is a beta tester for the game Sword Art Online (which you can use your own body as a controller) which is the worst thing she can be. That's because when the game officially went for sale 10,000 people bought it. When they plugged in their Nerve Gear they went in the game. Only to find out that the only way to logout is if they bet all 100 floors and their bosses.

Chapter 21

I look up and see the dragon soaring over the den. I look at Beth and I say, "Come here I have to hold you." She was a bit shocked with what I said but she still came up to me. I grab her by the side and just as the dragon dives down I jump up and I pull out my sword. I stab the dragon between its wings and it soared into the air above just like I planned on it doing.

I look over to were I have Beth positioned in my arms. She has her eyes scrunched up. I laugh as I say, "Beth open your eyes your missing the view." With that she slowly opens her eyes as we break through the clouds. We look around in awe as we see the beauty that is past the clouds it looks like it came right out of a painting. It has such beautiful reds, oranges, and yellows mixed so seamlessly that it looks so majestic.

After taking a look at the beautiful scenery, I turn to Beth as I say, "We need to go now. Since we are out of the den we can teleport now. Which means that when I let go of the dragon in a bit I need you to teleport to the floor your smith shop is on. I will be there with you." With that I took my sword out of the dragon and we started to fall. We both took our crystals out and we went to her smith shop.

We made it to her smith shop and she went to work. She pulled out the mineral from the inventory she laid it on the anvil. It took only one hit with a hammer but yet again everything in this game got simplified it takes all of the joy of taking the time and effort to make something. Well after she hammered it the mineral started to shine and then the next thing I knew it started to grow long and thin. When it stopped shining I was looking at a freshly made sword.

Beth picks up the sword and pulls the info tab up as she says, "The sword's name is Dark Chaos which is unusual since the sword is pure white with faint blue outlines. The name seems to be more fitting for the sword you have on your back." I look at my sword on my back briefly and say, "If I remember right a blacksmith told me that the name attached to my sword is called Shining Peace which is funny since my swords have names that contradict each other. By the way how much do I owe you for the sword." Beth just shakes her head and says, "You owe me no money but as payment I want to be your personal blacksmith." I look at her confused as I say, "What is a personal blacksmith?" Beth looks at me and says, "When you are on the front lines fighting and your armor or your sword gets damaged it is the job of your personal blacksmith to fix it for you. I want to make a difference but as you know I do not know how to use my weapons I make but I am good at being a blacksmith. You are also a good swordswoman so I thought that you could fight in the front lines and ii would aid you by repairing your weapons." I smile at that and I am about to reply when the door burst open.

In front of the door is Hikaru who looks like he has run for a while now. I look at him shocked as I walk up to him. I lay my hand on his shoulder as I ask him, "Are you all right? Is something right?" he looks up at me and says, "I go and send you here hoping that you find a sword you like but of course the next thing I know I find out that you and Beth had went on some dangerous mission to obtain a mineral just so that you could have a sword." I smile and say, "Well her best sword had broke when I tested it so I thought that I could see if the rumor was true about the mineral. We had a girl slumber party in the den though it was quite fun we told stories and gossiped about things. Then when we wanted to leave this morning we just hitched a ride on the dragon." After I finished the story it looked like Hikaru was going to faint but thankfully he did not. He just shakes his head and looks over at Beth as he says, "After all of that you are still sane how is that possible." I look at him like I am hurt by what he said but I am not really and I say, "If you say that hanging around me causes people to go insane then why are you not insane because you are the person that has had to put up with me for the longest. Which by the looks of it you are as sane as you were when we first met at the amphitheater on the first floor or is looks deceiving." He laughs at that as if what I said was the funniest thing in the world. When he finally stopped laughing he had a big grin on his face as he says, "For you to make me insane I have to be sane but I was insane before I even met you." I think for a minute and I then say, "I could see that being true." While we were talking Beth was silently watching us and then she says, "Will you two watch the shop I have to get some supplies real quick." With that she rushes out of the shop in a hurry.
