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 26

Before it could charge at us we exited the room and we closed the doors. When they were shut we started to run as fast as we could away from it. I know that it sounds cowardly and all but if you saw the monster too then you would know the reason why we ran.

After a while we stopped and we sat down. When our heart slowed down Hikaru went in his inventory and pulled out two objects. He handed one to me and he kept the other. When I opened it a let out a little squeal of joy because it was one of his homemade sandwiches. He laughs at my reaction but he does not say anything. Instead he leaned back on the wall behind us and ate his. When I took a bite out of my sandwich I made sure that I did not drop it like I did last time.

Right when I finish my sandwich I notice that a group of monsters or players were coming towards us. Either way they could be hostile so I pull out my sword as I slowly stand up. Hikaru looks at me confused for a minute but then he notices what I spotted and he stood up with his sword drawn too. A minute later and I spot the least likely person I would run into in a place like this. Coming right to me is Henry and his guild of friends. When Hikaru notes that I am smiling and waving at the incoming group he sheathes his sword and looks curiously at the incoming group. Like their leader Henry they all look gothic and a bit scary looking in their own way.

When Henry finally notices whom I am he smiles hugely and starts running towards me. When he makes it to me he picks me up in a bear hug and spins me around so fast that when he finally sets me down the world seems to be spinning around me. Hikaru walks up to me and puts his hand on my shoulder to steady me. Henry laughs at my show of dizziness. When he notices Hikaru for the first time a sly grin creeps up on his face as he says, "So you must have seduced Hikaru into joining your group by using your good looks." A blush creeps up on not only my face but also on Hikaru's face too. Before I could even say anything about it a thumping noise started and we all unsheathed our swords looking around for the source of the noise.

The source of the noise was the sound of boots as soldiers in white uniforms, which were marching wearily along the path. By the color of their uniform the must be from the Keepers of Peace which is basically a self-appointed army. When everyone started to freak out thy needed some order and the Keepers of Peace was one of the solutions to help the players retain some of their sanity. What is shocking is that the Keepers of Peace have not been on the front lines since the 15th floor battle which is where the were landed a high number of casualties for their guild so they mainly focus on the affairs of the players that live on the lower levels.

When they arrived to our position the leader turned to his soldiers and says, "You can rest for a while I speak with these players." With that being said they drop down to the ground with exhaustion. The leader turns to us and says, "Have any of you players past this mark yet?" I answered him with, "Yes we have and we also have a map of the floor leading to where the boss is." When the leader heard that he said, "Then you shall hand over that amp so that we may continue on our journey to the bosses hiding place." Even though he is a bit rude for demanding the map, even though we both know that mapping a place is hard and tedious work, I plan on giving him the map to the location of the boss. Henry looks at me with shock as I give the man the map. He walks up to the man and says, "If that was me I would not have given you that because we both know how hard it to map a place like this is but you asked Kari and she is a nice person." I push Henry softly but also hard enough to move him away from the man. When he understands what I am trying to do he steps aside so that I can be standing in front of the man. I look at the man straight in the eye as I say, "I may have given you the map but in my opinion you should turn around and deliver it to the front line soldiers instead of what you are obviously going to do." The man looks at me and says in a rude tine, "Oh, yeah if you know our plans then spit it out." I take a step towards him and he instantly takes a step back, which means that he is afraid of me. When he notices what he did he takes a step towards me to prove that he was not scared of me when it was already too late. He is afraid of me because he unconsciously took that step back in the first place. Before I could tell him that I knew him and his group were going to go to the boss to fight it, he yelled out, "Hurry up you pieces of trash we have work to do." When his men were on their feet, they took off.

After fighting monsters for a couple of minutes we sheathed our weapons and we were about to go check the boss room to see if the Peacekeepers had went in to fight the boss when suddenly we heard a scream. We all rushed to the source of the scream to find the Peacekeepers were fighting the boss without any backup.
