World Ocean: Arc 1 - Japan's Legacy - 日本の遺産

by william172.lonhs

Kirito and his friends have been moving on since the crisis of the Underworld. Their daily lives have been interrupted by a strange and powerful alien being that oddly wants to be their Sensei and has been teaching them for a year more. People from six other worlds would also join in this grand learning adventure that might have unintended dangers. Contains spoilers.

1. Prologue

Author's Note: Hi everyone. For the past two years, I've been inspired by the fanfiction stories I've read on this site to the point of starting to have ideas myself. It was not until the last month I finally figured out an ending to strive towards. That's when I finally put my ideas on paper at long last! I really hope to complete this grand story well within 10 years. Now this series is what I call 'World Ocean' which is a crossover of Sword Art Online, Konosuba, Overlord, Saga of Tanya the Evil, Re:Zero, The Rising of the Shield Hero, No Game No Life, and even the game I've enjoyed for the last four years: World of Warships - which also has its own cast of characters. Only the famous ship from Space Battleship Yamato will also be featured here. This is a writing journey I'm embarking on and I really hope you will all have as much fun as I do if you read this series.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, stories, and assets owned by Kadokawa, Wargaming, Matsumoto Leiji, and all their affiliates. I also do not own any of the original web novel and light novel material written by the imaginative authors of the mentioned animes.

With all this said, I present to you the prologue to my first Arc "Japan's Legacy":

The Virtual Battle of Vladivostok

"So. -This is our 'final exam'?" says Kirito (Kirigaya Kazuto) as he and his crew on Uchuu Senkan Yamato faces a powerful boss in the form of a gargantuan Joseph Stalin with literal fiery eyes standing at the mouth of the Amur bay under a darkened sky.

"Yes. You can say that. Now comrade, show us all and your sensei what you have learned in your time with us."

Yamato is in the harbor of Vladivostok. Everyone onboard it understood they must fight their way out to "escape" to the portal behind Stalin.

"You got it!" – Kirito responds with uplifting pride as he briefly remembers all he's been through. With that said, everyone assumed battle stances and powered up their respective weapons and abilities. The fruits of their training and efforts will be laid bare in this fight….
