Chapter 1 Prologue
This story begins within another world a Floating Castle up in the Sky this world is VRMMO World a place that is separate from reality it is an amazing world out there.
My name Kirito I shall begin to tell our story and adventures I had in this World along with many friends I made along the way how everything begins where everything turns upside down.
At a Plain Field, a young man who is currently running through the Plain He has average build and height. He has raven blue hair and blue eyes, with a cowlick at the top of his head. His Name Shuto
"Man, it's already the last day of the beta test, I wonder if anything will change when the game is fully released." Echo wondered. His talking was interrupted when he heard someone's voice.
"Today's I already the final day of the beta test and here I still am..." The Girl muttered. Shuto saw the disappointed look on her face.
He turned his head to see a female that had straight, black hair and bright green eyes., she wore a white tight t-shirt with a black short skirt, she had on purple shoes and thigh-high white socks. On the right side of her waist was a dagger.
A girl she looks disappointed. thought Shuto
"Hm Oh! Excuse me, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Uh sure?" Shuto replied before walking towards her.
"It's time nice to meet you, I'm Misaki." The girl introduced herself. "What's yours?"
"Oh, the name's Shuto. So, is there something that I can help you with?" Shuto asked. Shuto face showed confusion as Misaki looked embarrassed.
Well, you see, this is honestly embarrassing to admit, but I'm absolutely terrible at this game, and I mean really bad..." Misaki admitted.
"I see... I guess this is your first VRMMO? asked Shuto"
"Yeah. It's also my first ever video game that I've ever played, I looked some stuff up online before starting, but from first experiencing it myself, it appears to be a whole lot different to what I was expecting."
"So, you're having difficulties with the game? asked Shuto"
Yeah. It's the first-ever video game that I've ever played, I looked some stuff up online before starting but from first experiencing it myself it appears to be a whole lot different to what I was expecting.
Yeah, I can't seem to land a single attack on any of the monsters, so I've only leveled up my speed so I can run away. I've been seeing everyone around me getting stronger, and I just can't seem to be able to keep up.
I did get a little better though So I was looking forward to playing a bit more said Misaki today's is the last day and I even came all the way to here but I'm honestly just lost now.
I see said Shuto But Are you alright asked Shuto
Guess I was rambling huh said Misaki Sorry about that I've just been hopeless until now I know today's is the last day and all but I don't want to end up like this. Think you can teach me how to battle?
Since she asked I guess it wouldn't hurt to teach her this is game, after all, thought Shuto
"
Okay How about this then I can help you learn how to battle. said Shuto Misaki looked up at Shuto surprised at his words
Really? asked Misaki
Of course, said Shuto
"Wow, Really oh thank you! Let's get started then!" Misaki exclaimed.
"Alright! Now, let see..." Shuto muttered. He glanced around the grassy plain as Sara stood next to him, he then pointed his finger towards a monster. "There, we'll use those Boars to help you practice."
"Okay..." Misaki watched as Shuto picked up a small rock on the ground before throwing it at fast speeds directly towards the Boar who god hit on the side and fast towards them with an angered expression ."Uh~..."
"Don't worry, I've just provoked it. So, you're saying that you're having trouble landing a hit?"
"That's right, whatever I do, I can't seem to be able to land a single hit to damage them," Misaki said disappointingly.
"Well, it's mostly about activating your skills at the right time and also doing the correct initial motion," Shuto explained. Misaki looked confused as they then saw the Boar charge at them.
"It's coming towards us!" Misaki exclaimed. Her face showed panic.
"Don't worry, even if it hits us, we don't feel pain. But you don't need to know that, just use a skill!" Shuto stated.
"Skill... Initial movement... okay." Misaki then looked at the Boar who charged at them as she unsheathed her dagger and held it back before it began to glow.
Shuto watched as she then swung it horizontally upwards as her body lunged forward and a red slash mark appeared on the Boar before the life bar reached zero and the body shattered into data.
Misaki stood up straight and blinked a couple of times before smiling brightly and began jumping up and down. "That was awesome! I've never ever been able to fight like that before!"
"Good job, you got that down faster than I thought you would."
"It's thanks to you, Shuto! Truly... Thank you.
It's no problem at all answered Shuto
Hey Shuto may I asked you something asked Misaki
Sure what is it asked Shuto
Do you think we can be friends? asked Misaki
Huh um well Shuto deep thought. Well, we should probably..."Shuto was interrupted when they heard the sound of a sword being swung.
Huh? surprising Misaki
They turned their head to see a young man with slightly long black hair fighting against a horde of Boars that were surrounding him.
"That person is in danger, what do we do!" Misaki panicked. Shuto looked at the fight with narrowed eyes.
From the way that guy is fighting, he's definitely no newbie although he seems to be having a bit of trouble Shuto Thought
'From the way that guys fighting, he's definitely no newbie, although he seems to be having slight trouble, that is a pretty big group of Boars...' Shuto thought. He then put a hand on Misaki's shoulder.
Misaki you stay here I will go and help him out. said Shuto
Ah okay said Misaki
Shuto unsheathed his sword as the light of the sun slightly reflecting off of the blade. He then sped forward at great speed towards two Boars that jumped at the player.
"Oh, crud..." The male groaned. Shuto heard the person speak and before the boars could hit him, Shuto quickly sliced one of them before kicking its body into the other, resulting in them both being defeated.
"You alright?"
"Y-Yeah, thanks for the help." The person thanked. They then saw the rest of the Boars looking at them before nodding at each other.
They both charged at the horde and began to slash at them non stop, Misaki on the sidelines was watching the fight in awe. The boys moved faster than she could ever imagine, she knew that she had a long way to go if the gap was this big.
The boys quickly finished off the horde as they looked around to see if any more were present, once knowing that there weren't, they relaxed and gave a thumbs up at each other. "Again, thanks for the help."
"No problem," Shuto responded. They both then turned to see Misaki running towards them both. "They didn't get you too, did they?"
"No, I'm fine, I don't think they even saw me," Misaki replied.
Oh man said the male Didn't think that these monster would be this tough but thank for the help I take it from
The Male draws his sword takedown and cut them down
He pretty Strong said Misaki He takes them down so fast.
High-Level Mob spawn here at the set time I better be more careful next time and thank for help said the male
No problem I was passing through but Anyway are you okay asked Shuto
I'm fine "You're pretty skilled with that sword of yours, I can tell you're strong. Well, I better get going..." The person was about to leave when Sara stopped him.
Please Wait a Moment! At tell us your name said Misaki
"Wait, please! Can you at least tell us your name?"
"Huh?" The person turned back confused.
I'm Misaki it nice to meet you answered Misaki.
Well It looks like introduce myself said Shuto I'm Shuto please to meet you
"I never thought I'd hear someone say that in real life... though, I guess this is just VR... ah, whatever. My name's Kirito." The male now known as Kirio greeted. They nodded at this Well thanks for your help. enjoy the last day
They watched as he ran off, Shuto then sheathed his sword back onto his back before cracking his neck, he then felt Misaki tug his shirt and looked at her. "You two were super strong and super cool, if I just tried a little bit harder, would I be able to turn out like you two?"
Well If you work hard I think you will as long you put your mind to it Shuto assured. Misaki seemed to appreciate that answer.
You think so huh I guess everyone has to start somewhere. Said Misaki I made up my mind I'll give it another go once when the game is fully released!
So am I getting any better ? asked Misaki
Well, you didn't fall over this time. said Shuto
Oh come I gotten better did I. said Misaki
Yeah, Of course, said Shuto
They then heard a ring as they looked at the time which displayed it to be 5 pm, that was when a voice called out to them.

In that case, let's meet again when the full version comes out said Misaki
"Alright, I will it a promised then I look forward to it, if you need help, you can just ask me or Kirito over there," Shuto said as he looked at the retreating form of Kirito in the distance.
"Of course, so, I hope that you'll join me again, Shuto! I'll definitely be looking forward to showing you how much stronger I'll get!"
"Well I'll be waiting, let's meet again sometime then."
"Should be fun!"

With that, Shuto's vision became white.
