Finally the day had come. Kirito was ecstatic as he flew down to the first floor and ran toward the city of beginnings to find his friends and start clearing floors. Unfortunately in his rush to leave home he left all of his weapons in his room. Much to his embarrassment Kirito headed to the weapon smith to obtain some starter weapons till he could get a better weapon. Kirito heard a shout from behind him before being tackled to the ground by a cloaked figure.

"Kii-bou!" Kirito just sighed in response. "WILL you ever call me by my real name and why Kii-bou?"

The clocked individual now identified as Argo let go so Kirito could pull himself up it was then that he noticed a second maroon haired individual behind Argo with a look of admiration on his face.

"Who's this, Argo." asked Kirito.

"Oh this is Mr. Pervert." replied Argo "He tried to hit on me and is now hoping that I could teach him some starter tips being a beta and all."

"Hi my name is Klein." said the maroon haired as he stepped up to shack Kirito's hand.

"So how about you help me out Kii-Bou?" Asked Argo

"200 col." replied Kirito evenly.

"So cruel." said Argo with mock sadness while handing Kirito a sack of coins.

After the deal was made Kirito took Klein out to the fields to hunt some boars. To put it simply his swordsmanship was awful. Kirito found himself laughing at Klein as he rolled around clutching his family jewels after taking a partially well aimed charge from a boar.

"You feel no pain man. Just get up." Kirito was able to get out between chuckles.

"Oh ya. I guess muscle memory, huh." replied Klein getting up.

Trying not to thing to hard on the current subject, but considering how Argo introduced him not a big surprise, Kirito tried to help Klein at least get used to sword skills.

"You're too rigid. Try relaxing at letting the power flow through you before letting it explode."

"Let it explode." whispered Klein at the boar charged again. This time his sword glowed yellow before cutting the boar in half.

"Yes this is awesome" Shouted Klein while receiving a high-five and a smile from Kirito.

"Shall we continue the hunt?" asked Kirito

"Of course I just killed a field boos so some smaller mobs should be much easy for a great fighter like me." said Klein with a huge smile on his face.

Kirito fell over with laughter at this before finally pointing at the field so Klien could see more boars just like to one he killed spawning all over the field.

"They're the weakest creature in the area." said Kirito "but either way let's go."

Over the next couple hours Kirito teached some more sword play to Klein and let him get a majority of the kills since Klein was level 1 and Kirito was level 65. Klein was a fast learner and soon was taking out groups without much of a problem sometimes without using sword skills. When they finally took a break Klein asked him if he wanted to friend him to which Kirito accepted whole heartedly since Klein was a nice guy.

"Well I am going to log off now to have dinner." said Klein who was now level 4

Kirito knew it was common for adventures to return home to eat. "Ya too bad food only fills you up on this side of things."

"Hey Kirito would you want to meet some of my friends some time." asked Klein

"Sure, but there are some thing I need to collect first so maybe some other day."

'Ya sure and thanks for everything." Said Klein while scrolling through his menu "where's the logout button?"

"I don't know" said Kirito "try asking a GM." GM's were a group of old bearded humans who had some limited magic powers(Maybe the power comes from the beards) and usually helped adventures in needed.

"I am trying but they aren't responding." Klein responded sounding a little worried.

Suddenly Klein disappeared. Now Kirito was worried. He ran toward the town of beginnings to see if Argo could help find his friend. When he arrived the town center was blocked off by invisible wall of force and a giant cloaked being hovered above the square.

..If your HP reaches Zero you will die in both the virtual world and the real world.

What had the Ruby King found some way to remove the adventures immortality? Are they no longer able to respawn? It was then that Kirito noticed Klein who was looking scared though most of the people in the square were. Kirito tried to get to him but an invisible was stopped his progress.

The only way to escape is to beat all 100 floors. Lastly I have a present for you all. Check your inventories.

Kirito noticed several players pull out mirrors before being surrounded by bright blue Klein once stood a more rouge-ish looking man took his place. So this must be what the adventures really look like.

Best of luck Players!

As the robed figure disappeared so did the force wall keeping Kirito out. As panic issued Kirito rushed over and grabbed Klein to pull him out of the square.

In an alleyway Klein finally snapped out of his shock.

"Why do you look the same? Did you choose your avatar to look like your real world appearance Kirito." asked Klein

"Ahhh ya. That's not really important now. I am going to leave to collect some stuff from before the fields are picked clean. How about you come with." said Kirito

Klein looked taken aback before responding "What about my friends?"

Thats right. I can't ask him to forget his friends, but more people. Until I get some decent weapons I don't know if can protect them all.

Seeing Kirito's hesitation Klein smiled and put a hand on his his shoulder. "Its ok. I can handle it you get going. Those important stuff won't find itself.

"No. I can leave whenever." said Kirito with a look of determination. "Klien get your friends and meet me at the North gate. I can spend a day or two teaching you guys before leaving."

'Ok." said Klein before running off. Kirito went to grab some more health potions with his extra col he had left over from the beta period. On they way to the north gate Kirito noticed two little girls not much older than his sister. One was crying her eyes out while other tried to comfort her.

"Can I help you guys?" Asked Kirito.

The girls seemed shocked for a sec.

The non crying one was first to respond. " My name is Aiko and this is my sister Yuuki. You look like you know what you're doing. Were you a Beta?"

"Yes, and I am heading to the North Gate to train some friends of mine."

"Can we come to? I want to fight!" Said Aiko

"Are you sure?" Kirito said hesitantly looking at Yuuki.

"Yes." Said Yuuki wiping away tears. "I want to fight and become strong. There is so much I can experience here we can't back home."

Kirito just nodded before running toward the North gate with the two sisters hot on his heels.

I will do my best to train and help those who are now trapped in my home. Thought Kirito as he neared the gate and Klein's group.

Thanks for the support and I hope you favorite, follow and review. Especially the lost one. For better or for worse its good to know where I stand and if my writing skills could use some work so criticism is always welcome. Ya I know this update cam out the day after, but I had a lot of ideas and I might as well use them before they dry up.
