Chapter 1

A/n: The question mark that will appear after Ruby's name when I call her Ruby is because until I type her name that she would use in game (which will be very soon so you don't have to worry) is to show that we don't know her name in she says it

Ruby? opened her eyes to see that she was in a plaza. "Man this is going to be good. Right girls? Girls?" Ruby? spun around but didn't see anybody she knew and she started to get scared. Then a hand touched her shoulder. It was a boy about her sister's age. They boy squatted down to get eye level with Ruby?.

"Are you ok? You look lost and frightened." The boy asked.

"I can't seem to find my friends." Ruby? said

"Okay well let's look for them together." The boy said and held his hand to offer it to her. Ruby? took it and shook it. "My name is Jax" The boy said and opened his menu and tapped a button and looked at Ruby?

"My name is Summer." She used the name to make a reference to her mother. But as she said her name a party invite was sent to her and a friend request as well.

"At least till we find your friends." Jax said and smiled at her. When Ruby accepted he stood up straight and sent her a strategy guide. She saw she started with a hundred col and was about to hit that button but Jax spoke up. "We beta testers are supposed to give those to new players."

Summer smiled. The boy looked nice enough. "Let's go." she said.

"So want to look around town or outside town first?" Jax asked. After all she knew her friends better than he did.

Summer thought for a moment and wanted to look for her sister first. Which in turn meant… "Outside my good sir."

Jax let out a chuckle. "Alright let's go." he said. "And stay close, don't want you getting lost."

They walked outside of town and they grinded till they were both level 5 but they did not find any of Summer's friends. Jake taught her sword skills and she killed a few things on her own.

All of a sudden Summer was getting a bit tired. "Hey Jax, I'm going to log out and see if my friends can tell me where they are."

"Alright, be safe." He heard Summer open her menu

"Hey Jax kind of a noob question but how do I log out?" Summer asked

"What? Are you serious?" Jax asked

"C'mon man it's Nervegear. I can't Alt F4 this shit." She said

"Okay it's right… here." Jax opened his menu but it was blank

"Oh thanks, player's guide." Summer said

"No it's here it's just blank." Jax said

"Wait there's something scrolling across mine. 'HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA…'

"I get it Summer."

Wait wait wait there's more. 'HA;'" Summer said and Jax rolled his eyes

"Riveting." Jax saud

They were then teleported to the plaza. "Jax." Summer said looking scared and Jax did was look up

A hooded figure came out of the sky and said "Hello everyone welcome to Sword Art Online." And that's when Summer stopped paying attention

"You must complete all 100 floors." Was what she heard when she tuned back in

"Honestly when's the last time you heard of someone beating Everquest?" Someone piped up

"When's the last time you heard of someone PLAYING Everquest?" The hooded figure asked back

"That's fair." That person said back

"So this marks the end of the tutorial and the true beginning of SAO. Also I disabled the profanity feature. Have fun with that" The hooded figure left after that

"WE'RE FUCKED" Someone screamed and Jax grabbed Summer's hand

"Come with me." he said. Summer thought she saw Weiss but didn't say anything. "So are you going to continue to join me?" Jax said after they were away from the plaza. "I know you wanted to find your friends. But we need to get out of this game."

"Say no more Jax. I will join you." Summer said

"Are you sure?" I mean if you still want to find your friends, you can stay…" Jax started

"Jax I do want to find my friends but I don't know anyone else and I don't even know if they're still in the plaza. So I will go with you." Summer smiled up at him and Jax let go of her hand at that point.

"Then let's go
