Hello!

Don't kill me~

This is a notification that everyone had been asking for for the longest of time, and well-

After updating chapter 28, I found myself unable to write the next chapter without wrecking it, so I left it alone. In actually, I strayed suuuuuper duper far from my original intent, that I don't even know where it was going anymore. Eventually, I was so unmotivated about this one for years, and I FINALLY figured out where I'm going with this story (Thanks Alicization).

As a result, The Dual Blade Wielder has been revamped (some of you may have noticed the change in the summary earlier this year (2020)) and heavily edited to the point where the events are similar, but different to this version. There are likely to be added events to the story, and better reasonings for a majority of Kirito's actions. It also takes a bit of a serious tone- but Kirito is still OOC, but less, uh, childish? No, spontaneous? Eh, he's milder on the childish antics? Whatever, you'll see eventually. But overall, I'm focusing more on the weight of it (if that makes sense). I still can't romance, so literally don't expect any.

Seriously, don't. If you see any, it's nine out of ten platonic or sibling love.

I also thought things through and finally came to the conclusion as to what I wanted to do for Kirito/Kazuto. And let me tell you, I'm still internally screaming (again, Thanks Alicization).

Since the changes are a bit drastic (some chapters are merged), I will be posting it as a new story. I'm just gonna be honest and say, I have no naming sense, so it'll be called "The Dual Blade Wielder: Re"

Boring, I know, but I can't think of anything else as I will be keeping this old version up.

You can find it in my profile after reading this.

Please enjoy the new version of the Dual Blade Wielder!

Here's a small peak into it:

Whatever plan Kirito had beforehand, he completely and utterly bashed a tiny part of it into pieces.

Getting out of the Town of Beginnings? Check.

Grind a few monsters while on the way to Horunka Village? Check.

Gain at least two levels? Check.

Arrive at slightly crowded Horunka Village whole? Double check.

"Wow, this place is pretty peaceful compared to the Town of Beginnings."

Come alone? Unchecked.

Kirito held his elbows, arms lightly crossed, as he tried very, very hard not to sigh at Klein.

"Why did you have to come with me?"

Klein placed a hand on his hip and looked at him as if the answer was obvious, "Sticking with you for a little bit."

"I'm not even partied with you right now."

"I'm looking out for a friend!"

"What about your other friends?" Kirito highly doubted that Klein up and left with out saying a word to them, but he just had to ask.

"Eh, it's been a week since this game started, and they'll be fine. Besides, I just told them that we're taking a trip to the next town—and they're your friends, too, Kirito."

"You make it sound like I'm coming back with you."

"You're not?"
