9. Ep 9 The End of a World

Arc 1; Ep 9; The End of the World

-November 6, 2024 Floor 70-

After a few days of learning about Yui being an AI program, I started going with Philia and Lucy to get some leveling done. Lucy has progressed up to level 70. I also had Argo do some research about the guys who have taken girls into a base that doesn't seem to be a safe zone at all. However, I was about to learn about something I would have never guessed, a battle that will bring an end to this world… a battle to the death between the person who trapped us and our top player in all of SAO.

-Crossing fields Opening-

Currently Sakore, Philia, and Lucy return to town. Lucy has gotten huge equipment changes as well as not being scared to fight. her new equipment is a black and red leotard with an amethyst breastplate, a black skirt, she has detached sleeves on her arms, has purple stockings and black shoes. Her sword is still one handed being a red sword with a black hilt. She is now level 78 ready to take on any challenge.

"I've been scared to continue doing so much leveling, but you helped to get me to where I am. Thanks you two." She tells them

"We aren't done yet, we still have the guys to deal with. We learn that they don't allow guys to enter unless they want to be part of the group, however that isn't the part we will do. They can allow girls to challenge the leader to a duel for the freedom of the captive girls he and his buddies has, however if they lose then she is locked up as one of the other girls." Sakore tells them.

"So Lucy has to be the one to duel him…" Philia says understanding the plan. "Honestly I don't like it but I'm not much of a fighter so it's the only option here."

"Even so Lucy will have to distract the guards for a moment for me and Philia to go in and find out where the captive girls are." Sakore says

"I think you should keep watch of the duel, I have a feeling he might do something crazy." Lucy tells them which has them agree on that suggestion just to be safe.

The trio teleported to Floor 37 and ready to go to the place when they notice a commotion going on.

"Someone help me!" a female player says going to some members of a guild that is part of the Assault team

"What's wrong?" one of them asks

"It's my friends! These guys have been captivating girls there, my friends have challenged their leader to a duel for the freedom of the captive girls but they lost! Please someone lock them up so they don't do this!" She explains crying and the members look at each other.

"We'll get as many members together and go on a full assault to their base. You can show the way to them." another guy tells her and she really seemed happy.

"We better move quickly to give a head start and have the guys all inside the base." Sakore tells them and they head outside to a forest area and they saw a path into a cave with two guys standing guard. "Ok remember the plan, me and Philia will get close enough. Once we are in range, get the guards attention to come closer and we will go in." The two move through the trees making sure the two guys don't see them, once they were in position Lucy walked out from behind the trees within full sight of the two guards.

"Dude look, there's a wandering girl out in the forest." one of them says with a smirk

"Hey let's bring her to the boss, this will be a great one for him to have into the collection!" the other guy says and the two guys go over to Lucy not realizing that this distraction gave Sakore and Philia the moment to enter and quietly sneak inside making sure no one finds them. "Hey there girl! You wanna come with us? Our boss would like to have you with us."

"Is that so? Well he needs to prove himself better to have me aboard, it's better if you lead me to him in person. I'd want to see if he if good enough." She tells them

"You know she has a point, the boss can only duel girls if they are good enough for him. So let us gentlemen bring you to him, please follow us miss." one of them tells her and the two guys lead her to their base unknowing that they led two others enter inside.

"You are going to learn that someone is gonna be better than you and you'll have to release the girls here!" Lucy says in her thoughts as the guys lead her through the tunnels and into the room area with the big guy in charge of the group.

"Hey boss we got another one! She also wants to see if you are stronger than her to be one of us!" one of the guard guys tell him and Lucy had her eyes pointed to the left and she sees Sakore and Philia hidden waiting on what could happen.

"This one is a cutie, so she wants to be tested eh?" the boss guy asks

"I have heard lots of girls were brought here and never returned, so I ask of this. I'll duel for them!" Lucy tells him

"Ah another one who wishes to free the girls? Heh, alright if you can beat me in a duel that is!" the guy says with a grin, and sending the duel request. "With how good my stats are she has no chance against me and my strength." Lucy accepts the duel request and the two fighters draw out their weapons as the timer starts counting.

"Hey Sakore, I'm gonna look for the captive girls, keep a watch on her duel." Philia tells him quietly

"No, that's a bad idea. We could get noticed." he replies quietly and the duel starts with the guy charging at Lucy and the two clash swords together. "Besides Lucy may need our help if things go bad." They continue watching the duel as the two fighters clash their blades against one another, and then Lucy gets a hit causing the guy's HP to drop a bit. However he wasn't gonna allow her to get another hit so he tries for a thrust strike which only put a cut on her shoulder while it made him wide open for her to get a strike again which started to piss him off.

"What the hell is with this girl?! How is she doing better than I expected?! Also why does she look familiar?" The guy said in his thoughts, but as he was distracted from his thoughts Lucy struck heavy with a sword skill that brought his HP to Yellow which signals the duel ending with her win.

"Impossible! Boss lost the duel?!" one guy says in complete shock and the leader fell to his knees in disbelief

"Now, as agreed you will release the captive girls that you have imprisoned." Lucy tells him. He was so angry that he grabbed his sword and did a horizontal slash at her causing slight damage but also made his cursor Orange for attacking an innocent player.

"It won't matter anyway, because I'll always get what I deserve!" He raises his sword about to strike her down which scared her, however before he could Sakore came in and use his left arm to take the hit but also get it cut off giving him a warning of lost limb. Although it will be restored in a short amount of time.

"Don't you dare hurt her!" Sakore drew his sword and slashed one arm on the dude causing him to lose his arm and unable to lift his sword since it needed two hands to hold.

"You…" the guy says unexpecting him to be here

"Shit! How did he get in here!?" one member asks

"We left the entrance! Let's run while we can!" another said, but before they could the members of the Assault Team that was in town came in and caught them. Once the mix up was done they freed the captive girls setting them free and being able to return to town. While this was settled Sakore got an incoming message and looked at who sent it.

"... Heathcliff…" He said knowing that something important happened and has to report in. "Ugh, sorry girls I have to go…"

"Assault Team?" Philia asks making a guess why he has to leave and he nods. "It's been quite a while since anything happened."

"Yea, and looks like I'll take on Floor 75 boss with everyone." Sakore says to them

"That's one of the Quarter Bosses, those were possibly going to be the hardest ones of Aincraid…" Lucy says with worry

"Yea, and it will be the last until the final boss…" Sakore says and Lucy hugged him suddenly which surprised him

"Promise me! Promise me you'll live and survive! I don't want you to die after everything you've done for me!" She tells him crying and he looked down at her, while Philia watched who also would be worried about Sakore.

"I will, I'll fight with everything I got and beat this boss." Sakore tells them.

The next day Sakore went to the teleport gate to head to the KoB HQ to report in. He took one last look at the girls before he learns how early the game was going to end. "Teleport, Granzam!" he says and disappears going to Floor 55.

"Please Sakore… Once you return… I want to express my feelings." Lucy says quietly to herself and Philia knew what she meant since she heard it.

-November 7, 2024 Floor 55 Grandzam, KoB Guild base-

"I am certain you know why you are here, Sakore." Heathcliff says in the meeting room.

"Is it news about the 75th Floor boss raid?" He asks

"Correct, we had some members check through the doors to the boss room, half of the scout party went in, until the doors close as well as revealing the Boss." Heathcliff explains "After time passed the doors opened but there was no sign of the boss or the members that went in."

"They entered an anti-teleport zone." Sakore assumed

"Correct, and as of now we are gathering the best players we can for this boss raid. As one of the top players we are counting on you and your skills, you may wait in the guest quarters until called upon." Heathcliff tells him and Sakore nods and leaves the meeting room to one of the guest rooms. He had thoughts about how this will go, then it changed to thinking about the real world.

"Mom, Dad, bro, sis… I wish I could tell you I'm still giving it everything I got…" He had hoped that they would be doing okay while he is trapped inside this game.

The next few hours he is told to be at the main plaza on Floor 75, many members were there and he sees Kirito and Asuna also. As they waited Klein and Agil were also brought into the fight, and soon Heathcliff and KoB members appeared from the gate and walked out. Heathcliff then lifted a corridor crystal.

"Corridor open." He says and a warp gate opens as the crystal is used and shatters. "Well, here we go." He enters and everyone else follows also exiting in front of the doorway to the boss room. Everyone gets set for the boss raid and party up with other players. "Everybody ready? The Knights of the Blood Oath will be out in Front, distracting the boss and blocking it's attacks. In the meantime the rest of you have to stay sharp, and try to figure out it's attack patterns. I won't lie this battle will be hard, but I have faith that we can and will prevail. For our day of Liberation!" Everyone cheers and Sakore was fully ready to face what might be the second toughest boss out of the four Quarter Boss Fights. Heathcliff starts opening the doors and everyone else draws out their weapons.

"Don't die guys." Kirito tells the three guys

"Heh, same to you buddy!" Klein replies

"I won't back down from this!" Sakore says gripping his sword

"I'm gonna make a fortune off today's drops, no way I'm missing out!" Agil says pumped with excitement. The doors fully open and everyone waited for the moment.

"Forward to battle!" Heathcliff commands and the whole party charges into the room spreading around the arena ready to fight their enemy, however there was no sight of it anywhere. The doors closed automatically and disappeared and still no activity from where the boss could be then Sakore heard a noise possibly from the boss then realized where it is and looked up.

"From above!" Sakore shouts out having everyone look and see a large skeleton of a long creature with two arms as scythe blades, and a large head with four eyes. It put fear into everyone.

"It's the Skull…" Klein says

"Reaper…" Kirito and Sakore say at the same time, the boss screeched as the name showed and 5 health bars appeared.

"Stay away from it! Spread out!" Heathcliff warns them and almost everyone went to the edge of the arena as the boss starts dropping down to them.

"Hey, get over here quickly!" Sakore tells two guys shaking in fear. They make their way to where he was along with Kirito, Asuna, Klein, and Agil. The boss landed making the area light up in red tinge colors and the boss struck the two guys making them fly to where they are at, but then shatter before they landed.

"T-that was one hit!" Klein says frightened from such strength from the boss

"Man we are so dead!" Agil says now unsure if they can actually clear the Floor. The boss charged at another guy as Heathcliff blocked the incoming attack, but the boss was quick and moved using it's other arm to strike it's target killing him.

"Dammit, this thing is quick on it's speed. How are we even supposed to hit this thing anyway?!" Sakore asks as Kirito quickly moves to where the boss was gonna take another victim, but Kirito blocks it however the strength was too much and hurting him. "Kirito!" Heathcliff, Asuna, and Sakore go in and save him with striking while the boss was defended against thanks to Heathcliff.

"If we block it together we have a chance!" Asuna tells them and lifts Kirito up to his feet. "Come on we can do this!"

"Then let's go!" Sakore says and they go in with the block and attack strategy.

"The three of us will deal with the scythes, everyone else flank it and attack!" Kirito tells them indicating him, Asuna, and Sakore. They do some hits on the boss although more were lost from another attack, and Sakore sees that the first Health bar barely dropped at all. Though he wasn't gonna give up on going to beat this boss with everyone else.

"Let's go for another try!" Sakore tells the two and they go in as everyone fights with everything they got striking and hitting the boss everywhere hoping that together they can beat this tough enemy.

After a whole hour of the fight with the Boss they were able to get it to it's last HP bar and very close to being finished off.

"Everyone, attack!" Heathcliff commands everyone as he saw the small bit of HP the boss had left, and everyone charged in using the strongest Sword Skill they have not giving the boss a chance to stand up again. Once the last bit dropped completely it shined brightly and bursts into pieces and the -Congratulations- showed signalling that Floor 75 has been cleared. Everyone fell to the ground glad that the fight was finally over, some sat down while others laid down on their backs. Sakore sighed in relief that it was over, he laid down on his back and messaged the two girls that he is alright and that Floor 75 has been cleared. back at the hotel the girls were relieved that he is still alive. He then had a question in his mind.

"Hey Kirito…" Sakore says getting his attention. "Tell me… how many did we lose?" Kirito opens his menu to the map and counts out the number of players that survived through the fight, but the number wasn't great to hear.

"... 14 of us died." He says and that frightened everyone.

"Oh my god…" Agil said in shock

"And we still got 25 more Floors to go." Klein says scared now.

"Man, in all honesty I feel like I have no way to keep going…" Sakore replies not wanting to go through anymore. As his eyes were closed wondering what to do, he hears movement and looked to see Kirito picking up his sword like he is about to charge at someone, in which he does… at Heathcliff. Kirito uses a skill and Heathcliff noticed confused going to block it, but Kirito aimed at his head going above the shield, however something else blocked his striked. Everyone was confused why Kirito would attack the commander for no reason, however there was a big reason on why he did that. A sign appeared above Heathcliff saying -Immortal Object-

"Kirito what are you-" Asuna stop at what she was gonna say when she saw the sign and Sakore was wide-eyed seeing it as well as confused.

"Immortal Object?! How is that possible for that of a player?!" Sakore asked himself in his thoughts and he tried coming up with answers to how it was possible, until only one answer came into mind connecting the dots with the duel and what he is seeing.

"An Immortal Object…? Commander Heathcliff, what's going on?" Asuna asks him

"I think I got the answer to that, reason why the Commander's HP never hits yellow. Is cause he's protected by the system." Kirito explains and many people were confused by what he meant, although Sakore knew the answer if it is really true. "You know ever since day 1, something's always bugged me about this whole thing." Kirito looks up "I was always wondering. "Where is he hiding while he watches us and controls everything in this world?" Well the answer's pretty simple. It's basic psychology. In fact it's so simple every kid knows it, there's nothing more boring than watching someone else play an RPG. Is there… Akihiko Kayaba." After the name was said everyone was in complete shock that Kirito said that name, though the man in question remained neutral with no expression.

"Just out of curiosity, would you mind telling me how you figured it out." He asks Kirito which confirms the answer for Sakore that he is Kayaba.

"The first time I knew something was up was during our duel." Kirito tells him having him and Sakore remember the moment of how Heathcliff or Kayaba moved his shield so fast to block the final blow to have Kirito win the duel. "Remember when you turned the tables on me? That move was way too fast." Kayaba nodded in agreement there

"Yeah, as I thought so. It was a mistake that would go unnoticed by you. But you were so strong and so fast, the only choice I had was to engage the system's assist mode." He says and looks around at the other players. "Yes I am Akihiko Kayaba, and now that my identity has been revealed, it should be no surprise that I am the Final Boss on the Top Floor."

"So the strongest player in the whole game, ends up being the final boss. Kinda cliche isn't it?" Kirito asks

"Actually I kinda like that angle. One things for sure I always thought you'd be the one standing before me at the very end." Kayaba tells him. "You know Dual Wielding is a rare skill, the kind only given to the player with the fastest reaction time. He is the Hero of this story, the one who rises up to challenge the Demon King. But you, the power you displayed exceeded my expectations. I guess these unexpected twists and turns are what makes MMORPGs so thrilling to play." Once he finished a KoB member went to strike him however Kayaba booted the system and caused paralysis status to every player in the room except Kirito. Sakore fell forward wondering what Kayaba will do next for this.

"What's the plan now huh? You gonna kill everyone here and cover it up or something?" Kirito asks holding Asuna protectively.

"Oh god no, that wouldn't be sporting of me now would it?" Kayaba tells him. "No I have a better idea, I'm going to head for the top Floor and wait for all of you there. I'll be inside the Ruby Palace. It's a shame I have to leave you all so soon, I've spent lots of time developing the Knights of the Blood Oath and other whiling players. Oh well, you're all strong I'm sure you'll all reach me eventually." He then turns to Kirito "But before I go, Kirito. I feel you deserve some kind of reward for discovering my identity so… I'll give you a chance."

"Chance for what?" He asks

"To fight me one on one, right here right now. Oh and my immortality will be deactivated." Kayaba tells him. "Defeat me and you clear the game, and all the players will be able to log out from this world, no strings attached. What do you say?" Kirito couldn't believe what he is told, if he finishes off Kayaba now then the game will clear instantly. Sakore looked at him wondering if he will take the challenge. Then he made his decision.

"Ok then, let's finish it." He tells him agreeing to the battle, though Asuna didn't seem happy about it. He lets her down and stands up pulling out his blades for the final battle that will end this all.

"Kirito, don't!" Agil tells him

"Kirito!" Klein calls out to him

"... Agil." Kirito calls to him and he wonders what Kirito will tell him. "Thanks for supporting all the players in the game, since day 1. Yeah I knew, you act like you're all about the money, but I know you've spent every penny you had on helping the intermediate players level up." Agil was surprised at hearing him say that. "Klein… I'm sorry I bailed on you that day. I think about it all the time."

"Dammit Kirito!" Klein says crying. "Don't you apologise! Don't you dare apologise now! I won't accept it! I'll never accept it until we're on the other side and you're buying me dinner goddammit!"

"You got it, see you on the other side." Kirito tells him and then looks at Sakore. "Hey Sakore, I want to tell you that I'm grateful to you for everything you always tell me. How I shouldn't keep my distance away from others when they are in need, even when I didn't want to you kept pushing to open me up to others. So thanks, you were able to open myself up in a different way and help others." Sakore had wide eyes, didn't think he would hear this. Through the whole time Kirito has been pushing others away staying as a lonewolf to everyone, but Sakore always tries telling him to not lock himself from others, Sakore found that when he first met Philia and helped her do a special quest, and then there was Lucy who was almost taken away but a gang of guys.

"Damn you… don't start telling me this now!" Sakore tells him starting to cry. "After all this… you better listen to me bud! Don't you dare hold back, give it everything you got and win this! I won't forgive you if you die here!"

"Sure, you've been the one friend I'm glad to have met here. So I'll see you on the other side too." Kirito tells him and looks at Asuna who looked worried for him. "If it's ok, I have a final request to make."

"What is it?" Kayaba asks him curious of the request

"I'm not planning on going down easy, but if I die today. I want your word... on that you'll fix it so Asuna doesn't kill herself." Kirito tells him which made surprised by a little

"As you wish." Kayaba accepts the request

"No that's not fair! Kirito!" Asuna yells out. Kayaba goes into the system causing his HP to automatically drop into Yellow to make the fight equal and set off his immortality.

-Changed into Mortal Object-

Kayaba drew out his sword as Kirito takes his stance for the final battle that he is going to take. Asuna shouted his name again, while Sakore knew how precious Asuna meant to Kirito, and knows that this isn't any normal in game duel… but a fight to the death. Now it was about to start with the strongest players, as Kirito goes in for the first move with both clashing blades blocking attacks as well as dodging, Kirito tries hard to get a strike on Kayaba but he gets a slight cut on the side of his face causing him to use a sword skill in which Kayaba smirked since he designed the whole thing, which was also a huge disadvantage to Kirito. He goes for a thrust with his Dark Repulser, but once it came into contact with Kayaba's shield it broke part of it off.

"Game Over, Kirito." Kayaba tells him going to do the final blow on him and Sakore saw someone going in and taking the hit instead, that person was Asuna.

"No…" Sakore said silently as he can tell her HP dropped to 0 and she glowed and shattered which her weapon dropped from her person. "Why?! Why Asuna?! Why did you do that?! You gotten yourself killed…" despite that Kirito had no will to fight back which has Kayaba knock Kirito's Elucidator out of his hand while Asuna's rapier is in his left hand. Which this allowed Kayaba to stab his sword into Kirito causing his HP to slowly drain. "Dammit, come on paralysis! Let me move!" from the edge of his health bar the paralysis symbol started flickering like it's about to wear off somehow. He saw Kirito's HP hit 0 and causes him to shatter until the pieces reform making him translucent.

"Not yet…" Kirito said which Kayaba was shocked at what happened and frightened slightly. "Not yet." From behind the paralysis wore off on Sakore and he stood up with his sword in hand and charged forth causing both him and Kirito to make a battle cry and stab Kayaba at the same time. Kayaba didn't expect another person to get out of the paralysis like Asuna did. Now that both of them stabbed Kayaba his HP drained and hit 0 being the end of Sword Art Online.

"It's finally over…" Sakore said quietly and everything went white around him as there was now an announcement

"On November 7th at 2:55 PM. The Game has been cleared. Repeat, the Game has been cleared." it said as Sakore suddenly is brought up in the sky on a makeshift platform with the scenery of clouds and the sun in the distance.

"Where am I?" He asks himself and opens a menu telling him -Initiating Final Phase- he closes the menu and looked around him, then he looks below seeing Aincraid actually crumbling to pieces now. "So that's gonna be the end of it all…"

"It's a beautiful sight isn't it?" a man asks and Sakore turns to his right seeing Kayaba, not in his avatar but his actual being in a lab coat and his original brown hair. "In all my life I wished to create something. A world that I designed to be a castle floating in the sky. Though it seems now it has been destroyed, but I still believe there will be one out there somewhere."

"Probably so…" Sakore replied to him

"When I saw you coming forth for the finish, I assumed you had high spirit to continue fighting. I also would like to thank you for trying out the Astral Knights quest. I made it as a test for only one who could be a Hero to the Stars, and it seems both you and Kirito had made yourselves two different kinds of heroes in my story." Kayaba explains "Also I'd like to give you something. Something I meant to keep safe from outsiders from stealing the data from them." Kayaba opens a menu going through something and sends a gift to Sakore which he opens and looks at it being a purple crystal in a certain length.

"What is this?" Sakore asks him

"This object holds the data of a similar AI you three have met." Kayaba tells him, by three he meant Sakore, Asuna, and Kirito meeting Yui.

"Wait, are you saying this is data of an AI like Yui?" Sakore asks understanding what he meant

"Correct, however this is the second AI program of SAO." Kayaba explains "Mental Health Counseling Program, Prototype 2. Also called Strea, I wish for you to care for this one. That is all I ask for you to do." He says for his final words and disappears.

At this point Sakore just sat down watching the scenery until everyone is fully logged out, when he suddenly hears a noise behind him.

"What the?! Where am I?" a female voice spoke behind him. He looks to see a violet haired girl with purple eyes, having a red headband. Her equipment is not familiar in SAO. Sakore stood up and wondered who the new girl was and she notices him. "Oh hi there, do you know where I am?"

"This is SAO…" he tells her

"Eh?! You mean the death game?! How did I get transported here?!" She asks in shock

"Well it actually has been cleared so I don't think that's a worry." Sakore tells her

"Oh wow really? Were you the one that beat the game?" She asks

"Not really, a friend of mine did. He is an incredible swordsman." He tells her

"Amazing, I wish I could meet him. But hey, how about we have a duel?" She asks him and it gave him a look of surprise. "I want to test the skills of someone who has gone through the game, would you accept it?"

"Uh sure." Sakore says and opens his menu and sends a duel request which works. Once sent she accepts the duel and he looks up to see the name of the girl. "Yuuki…"

"Yup that's my name, now then shall we duel? Oh Sakore, sorry that was rude of me to not ask for your name first." She said seeing his name on the screen and she pulls out her sword from her waist and Sakore draws his blade as the countdown goes down. Once the timer hit zero the two charge and clash blades, Yuuki thrusted her sword which grazed his cheek and he was amazed at her reaction being quick. Though he isn't going down easily as he clashed with her blade he moves to the side and strikes her though she strikes back again.

"Dang she's good." Sakore thought as he and Yuuki continue clashing blades and it continued being an even match as both lower the other's HP and just when Sakore felt like Yuuki got the finishing blow he barely moved away and struck her side causing her HP to hit Yellow and giving Sakore the win.

"Amazing! I had no doubt you had amazing skills being a player of SAO." Yuuki complimented him and sheathed her sword.

"It isn't really skill but mostly luck, I should commend you for your amazing reaction time. You were really quick in reacting with your sword skill." Sakore tells her and she suddenly glows about to disappear

"Oh? I guess me being here was maybe fate for the two of us to meet, and I'm glad to have met you Sakore!" Yuuki says a big smile

"Same to you Yuuki, maybe someday we can meet once again." Sakore tells her and she vanishes. Sakore smiled wondering if it was fate that the two of them met. However the scenery now starts vanishing around him.

Inside of the hospital he opens his eyes being in a hospital room. He looked at his hand to see how his body has decayed for not being able to move for 2 years. He gets himself sitting up and takes off the Nervegear from his head letting his hair fall and has grown since the two years. He has worried about his friends from inside the game, until he hears the door opening and the person that entered the room saw him and he turned to that person.

"... Hey little sis…" He says to her and she started crying happy to see him then she goes out the door

"He's awake! Mom, dad, Adam! He's awake!" she shouts down the hall and more people entered the room quickly

"Oh my god! You're awake! Your safe!" his mom went and hugged him as did his little sister.

"I'm back mom, sorry I made you, dad, Maddylenn, and Adam worry about me." He tells them glad to see them. Then they hear someone knock on the door and see it was a nurse.

"Excuse me, is your username Sakore?" she asks him

"Yea…" He replies

"Ah, then I came bearing a message to you from Kirito." When she said that name his eyes were wide in disbelief, he actually survived somehow. "He says that he is alright and survived."

"... Wait, what about a girl named Asuna? Is she alright?" He asks the nurse, but however the news about her was going to be grim for him and Kirito.

End of Arc 1; Sword Art Online

Next Arc; Land of the Fairies, Alfheim Online. Ep 1; Return

That is all for the SAO Arc, now then ALO is gonna be longer after being finished with Asuna rescued. Also I did want a rival character for Sakore so instead I made one anyway just to make a bit longer chapters anyway. So you'll meet him later, probably in the next few chapters. I hope you guys enjoyed it, and get ready for some intense action going to happen
