Author's Note: Ok first thing Seras, is suppose to look like the Seras Victoria in Hellsing Ultimate. Her clothes, which I describe in this chapter is to look like it does in the anime. So even though Seras is an OC in this story she does look like and will resemble her in many to a character that someone else had created. So the aspects of this OC that resembles anything of Seras Victoria from Hellsing I will not claim as my own. I figure I should say that just to be safe.

Now onto the story. I'm not the best when it comes to writing action scenes I will admit that. So I would really like some feed back on how the scene is written and also how I could improve it to make it better in he long run. Now if you haven't figured it out this won't be a Kirito centric story. He will play a big role in it but the story will focus on Vlad.

Now I will like to thank Death467d for his comment on the story. I'm glad at least one person out there like this story.

At the end of the chapter I talk about the places I am with my other stories. If you don't read them you can just skip the note at the end of the story. If you do read them or even plan them, well I guess it wouldn't hurt to check the note on to the next chapter of this story I hope you enjoy it.

RE-UPLOAD SINCE FOR SOME REASON CHAPTER 1 AND 2 WERE THE SAME. THIS IS NOT A NEW CHAPTER SORRY.


Seras and I arrived at the inn about fifteen minutes after we finished talking in the ally. We had stopped at a market stand I had purchased some food since I knew the cafe at the inn would be closed. God I hope Kirito is ok that I added another person to our group. Finally we are in front of the front desk of the inn. "Hello Inn Keeper I'm looking for a room for the night."

"I'm sorry young traveler but all the rooms that we have are booked for the night."

Crap. I then turn to face Miss. Sears. "Seras, as you heard there are no rooms. I do have a couch in my room that I can sleep on and you can take the bed. We are going to need a decently nice rest for tomorrow and this is the best I believe we can." Seras was about to speak. "Before you say anything about sharing a bed or you getting the couch. That is not happening do you understand?" A nod later. "Good. Now lets get to my, I mean our room." With a nod from her we were on our way.

Well the room was a simple room with one bed and a small two seat couch. That had a window to the outside and a small dresser and a desk with a chair. I'm pretty sure the only reason there was a dresser was just for looks. I mean we keep everything in our inventory anyway. Yes if I owned a house I could use them for storage but in a inn I'm not storing my stuff in them. Underneath the window there was a small desk and a chair. The coach was against the left wall and bed was against the right wall. There were several blankets on the bed so I took one to use on the couch. It wasn't that cold so my new companion should be all good, I also took a pillow.

"Seras."

"Yes Master?" My face cringed again. God her calling me that feels so wrong.

"Make sure you get to bed quickly. Tomorrow is going to be one stressful and tough day. Illfang the boss isn't someone to mess with for new players. Especially more so now that this is a death game. So what I'm saying is that tomorrow you need to be careful."

"I will Master." She finally took off her cloak. What was underneath really didn't match the cloak she had on. Underneath she wore a khaki/yellow colored jacket and skirt. Her shirt was a long sleeved button down shirt that had the sleeves rolled up. The collar stood up and had a rectangle piece that button to the front of it. On the piece there was a small piece of metal. On her left arm she had a red arm band that buttoned to her shoulder, to hold it in place. On the shirt over each breast she had a button pocket. At the waist of her shirt the was a black belt. On her legs she wore white stocking that came up to the middle of her thigh. For her shoes she was wearing black combat boots that had the ankle folded down. Lastly she wore brown gloves on both of her hands.

Then she took her boots and stoking off. Then her gloves and next she took her shirt off to reveal a white t-shirt underneath. The shirt was tight enough to see her bra that was underneath. I could even tell that the bra was black. Though it was at that moment I turned around to giver privacy. I could feel my cheeks begin to heat up as I turned. This is not good, hopefully she didn't notice. I almost left the room while she did this because of how embarrassed I was. It felt even more wrong being in the same room while this was happening when she is calling me master. After a couple more minutes she tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around. She was wearing a blue pajama button up shirt and pants that were loose fitting. "I'm going to sleep Master. Good night."

"Ugh yeah good night Seras." She quickly got in bed and fell asleep and I went to lay down on the couch to message Kirito before I fell asleep.

Kirito,

So I picked some girl up. Her name is Seras as you can see in the party list and as you can see by her stats that she is quite weaker than either of us. I know how you feel about adding people, especially people that are weaker, but I couldn't just leave her by herself. The strange thing is, is that she won't stop calling me 'Master'. It's very strange and almost creepy to say the least.

Now to talk about the boss battle. Don't worry when it comes to the boss battle I will personally worry about her. Leave her protection to me and me alone. Just thought I should at least let you know before we show up tomorrow. Ok see you at the meeting point.

-Vlad

With that sent I quickly let sleep take me. The next day came sooner than I would have liked but today is the day for boss raid. I sat up from the couch and surprisingly my back didn't hurt to much. I began to look around and saw Seras was still asleep on the bed. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. After that I turned to the window and saw the beautiful sunrise coming over the horizon. You know it is very nice to see this for what could be my very last time.

You know when I was young, well I am young, but I mean younger. I… well I never thought about how or even when I would die. Now here I am today about to face the first of many hard battles to come and I could actually die. To say that I'm scared about facing Illfang would be an understatement. Though I have to atlas appear tough. Kirito and I are the two strongest player in SAO and we have to give the weaker players the faith that him and I, no that they, no that we all, can get strong and beat this death game. Hang on I have to do something before I wake her up.

I went over to the desk and pulled out a recording crystal.

"For anyone that is hearing this, my name is Vlad. I know you're not suppose to say your name and what not about your real life on the game but I will say it. That is because I would love to have who ever is in possession of this when I die to give it to my mom the message on here somehow. The info about my IRL life is that I will give you my real name. My name is Kurosaki Alucard. That should hopefully be enough information that if you go to the police they should be able to find her to give the message. Whoever does this to me I thank you very much. Now I guess it's time for the message.

Dear Mom, I… I don't know if you will ever hear this but the fact that I'm making this is that I might die soon. I guess I could say why though but most of the reasons would be the same. I know it's lazy to not remake them over and over again before each possible death but you know me mom. Today at the making of this message I and group of my friends along with several other players are going to take on Illfang, the first floor boss. You know what I probably make another one the next time I'm actually slightly scared I'm going to die. Though if I don't make another one recording for some strange reason either it was some stupid mistake on my part. That or well I wasn't expecting to fight a boss and didn't have time to prepare.

Now mom I, I love you. You were a great mom and I couldn't ask for a better parent to have raised me. I know that dad died when I was young. I also know that at times I was a trouble maker and made your life harder than it needed to be. For that I'm truly sorry for. If I could do it again I would have tried to be a better child. God look at me I'm what fourteen and I'm reflecting on my life. No one my age should be doing this." I let a slight chuckle at this before continuing. "Now I'll say it again because it's seven forty-five and I need to get my friend up to prepare for this fight. I… I hope I don't die and that I will get a chance to see you again. Well anyway, wish me luck. I feel like me saying wish me luck is in bad taste because you can't do that if you're hear this because I would be dead. If I didn't die you wouldn't be hearing this. Anyway I'm just rambling now. Well I love you mom, good bye." With that I pushed the button to end the recording. Ok Vlad, let's go, come on. It was then that I noticed I had a few tears on my face. Quickly, I wiped them away and turned around from the desk to grab my sword that was leaning against the desk.

After I was fully dressed then I finally decided to wake the sleeping girl in the bed. "Hey Seras, it's time to wake up." She began to toss and turn a little bit and swatted at my hand. With that I just laughed at her antics. "Seras, seriously we need you to wake up. It's time to get breakfast and then it's time to get ready." With that she stirred a little more and than woke up, yawned and stretched. To say her face and her herself looked cute while doing this would be almost and understatement.

"Morning Master." With that the cute moment was gone and the creepy one of her calling me 'Master' is back. Way to go Seras in killing the moment! Imaginary foam finger and flag is waving in the air. "Master what is the mater?"

"Ugh nothing don't worry about. I'll be outside getting food, just get dressed and I'll meet you in the cafe." She nodded and I left. She arrived in the cafe shortly after that and we ate bagel or two and had some good old OJ. "Well time to head to the center."

When we arrived I finally saw Kirito. "Hey Seras, go meet up with Asuna she is the other person in our group." The blond nodded and head over to the other girl in our party. Kirto and I quickly took a few steps to the side. "Kirito I know you don't agree with her being here but I couldn't just leave her by herself."

He took a second but then responded. "I understand Vlad. Honestly I might have done the same so I won't fault you on helping someone else out. Especially when it come to a life and death situation. So what is she good at?"

"Well she isn't good at that much at the moment. I haven't seen her do anything but she seems looks like she has potential to get better. Don't worry I will take for responsibility for her in the boss battle today. Her best attacking ability is her use of a bow according to her. Though when we get through this I will talk to her more and see if it truly is her best option or not. For this fight though her and I will provide you cover support. From what I saw Asuna had a rapier attached to her hip so you and her will be our front lines."

"Yes that works. Let's go tell them what the plan is and just get ready for the fight." He responded and we began to head back over.

The time seemed to fly by and next thing I knew we all were standing in front of the boss's room. Breath Vlad. You can do this! With that we entered the room. The man with blue hair began to order the parties around. Our party along with a few others, was to take care of the mobs in the room so the other parties could deal with the boss. Immediately Kirito and Asuna went to work dealing with the mobs and Seras and I provided cover. The mobs were going down very easy to use. It had to be because Kirito and I were high levels. Yes the weapons only do so much damage but if you have a higher level in a certain abilities like the use of the weapon or even traits that could effect the weapon, like strength. It will allow the you to do more damage with said weapon. Anyway back to the fight at hand.

After about a half hour Illfang had been reduced in heath to the last third of his heath and all his minions were gone. Now the plan was to surround him and charge but this blue haired parson decide to charge the boss by himself. How stupid can one be when it come to life or death. I don't care but the last hit bonus isn't worth that much to charge a boss by myself. Then the boss began threw his current weapons to the ground and switched his weapon and pulled out a sword. Right as he pulled it out Kirito and I looked at each other and were thinking the exact same thing. That weapon Illfang just pulled out was not the weapon that he carried in the beta.

Then in sync again we both yelled, "Get out of there! You can't beat him by yourself." Kirto and I yelled but it was to late. Illfang knocked the man up and then slashed the player across the chest sending him flying. Quickly the both of us ran over to the fallen player. Quickly I pulled out a health crystal and tried to heal him but he stopped me and then spoke.

"No don't heal me, it's better this way. You two are just like me. We're ex-beta testers, I can tell just by looking at you. You guys, need to kill this monster and save the rest of the players here and help unify the gap that is already forming between us ex-beta testers and the people who weren't."

I spoke first. "We will do that." Kirito nodded.

"Thank you." With that his eyes shut and he burst into hundreds of polygons.

I looked a Illfang who was charging the other players who were running in fear now. Then I looked back at Kirito. "Kirito, I got fifteen arrows left. That means I will do five three arrow shots. After that I will be the person that will switch in for you. Got it?" With nod he responded. "Good. Lets go."

With that he began to charge and I walked to the side drawing three arrows and firing. One arrow in each eye and one in the bridge of his nose. When the boss was blinded Kirito attacked getting a few swings in before he had to back off for my volley of arrows. Then process repeated until I was out of arrows. I put my bow by on my back and unsheathed my sword that sat horizontally across my lower back. Kirito had just charged so I came up behind preparing my sword ability and to switch. "Kirito switch."

Then he was good to go. "Switch."

"Switch."

"Switch."

"Switch." With that this should be the last attack. He would get it the bonus and we could finally move on. He charged his ability and let lose and really using his strength to amplify the attack. Which ended up cutting the boss clearly in half. After that he landed on the ground since he had to jump for the attack.

He collapsed to his knees and began to pant. I quickly ran to him and used a healing crystal as he was only sitting at fifteen health. Then I helped him up with his arm slung across the back of my neck. "Good work Kirito. Good work." All the other players were cheering for him and I, more for him though since he did have the finishing blow. Also us archer never usually get the glory to begin with as we provide support and cover fire.

We started making our way to Asuna and Seras, who were also running at us. When they almost got to us someone yelled out, "Why did you let Diabel die?" Who is th… ohh that bus be the name of the blue haired guy?

"Let him die?" Was all Kirito could say.

"Yes! You knew what the bosses abilities were and you didn't tell anyone about them. If anything you two should have been the one that died and not him." That really made me angry. Then someone from the crowed yelled how it was because we were beta testers.

Kirto just laughed and moved his arm signaling to let him walk on his own. He gave me a look basically asking are you with me. I don't know why he did but hey I would follow him everywhere I would consider him a friend even though our relationship has been strictly professional about leveling up. So I nodded saying I'm with him. He then stepped forward towards this guy who was making theses claims. "Yes I am a beta and so is he." He said pointing to me. "We did know his attack patterns though I will admit the weapon he used on the end wasn't the one from the beta. Though it was easy for us anyway since we are nothing like the other beta testers. See in the beta him and I,…" Once again referring to me. "… got to higher levels and floors than any other beta tester. We were also ranked the strongest in our weapon set." Seras actually looked shocked at him and I when it was stated we were the best in our fields of expertise.

Now it was my turn to step in. "Don't even think about comparing us to the other beta testers. Everyone in this room is already at a high ability than the people that were in the beta. Us two though were way beyond any of the others and know more than any of the info brokers do."

Some one from the crowed yelled, "They're not just beta testers, they're cheaters." Don't know how us knowing stuff is cheating but whatever. Then another person shouted, "So… so they're beaters. Yeah, they're Beaters!"

Kirto stepped forward again, "Beaters, I like that." He then equipped what he got from the drop of getting the last hit. It was the cloak of midnight. It was an all black cloak. With that he turned on his heal and I followed suit following him. This balled black guy who wielded a war ax was trying to stop the mob from yelling profanities and what not. He seemed like a good guy for doing this. He looked at us and I nodded at him in thanks for trying to help. He nodded back and that was the last I looked back at the mob and the people by it.

Next though I heard someone running up behind me. I began to pull my sword out but then I heard them spoke. "Master, I'm coming with you and don't think for a moment I'm not. That would be another order I will not follow. You offered to help me and have already done that by beating this boss. I will follow you until the end, whether that be death or beating this game or even after the game." Though the last part was just barely a whisper.

I growled slightly at this but nodded at her to follow me. God I'm getting soft to her and I only just met her. Hey I'm her master shouldn't she be listening to me? I just shake my head at this as she passes me to the door. I mean now I have a target on my back and her joining me, would put one on her.

Kirito though on the other hand, would not have Asuna join us. We walked right up to them as he spoke. "Asuna if you find someone you trust and that they offer her a chance to join a guild, join it. Yes we are leaving together but we are individual player. As such there is only so much we can do by ourselves."

"So why don't you do what you told me?" She clearly began to get angry.

"We couldn't now even if we wanted to now that we are labeled as Beaters. So Vlad and I will just have to boundaries of what us solo players can do." With that he turned around not even looking back at her. I gave her a look that said I'm sorry and left following him with Seras right behind me. We activated the teleporting gate to the second floor. Today, December 3rd, 2022, we trapped players of SAO had cleared the first floor.


Author's Note: Part 2

Now if anyone who has checked this story out has also checked out my other stories or plans to let me say a couple things about them.

First Naruto stories, since they had have the most previous updated or published date from when chapter one of this story was published. Ok A Change Naruto the next chapter is being reworked, I typed it but I don't like it as I pretty much put nothing really about the fight (Like I said not the best at fight scenes.). So I will try to redo the fight scene also there are some other things I will like to rework. The Legendary Duo, that chapter is about a third done, I've decided on the team placement and just have to type that out.

Next, the League of Legends stories, well this isn't much to say just at writers block. First, Ahri and Her Summoner, well to say the least I like the story but I'm thinking of rewriting a few portions of the story. I will say the premise of the story will stay the same but some setting and some events will change slightly to completely change. Next My Ex-Noxian, I have already re-edited some of the events a few months back because certain events in the story was far to rushed for what I had plan. When I had written those events I hadn't noticed and thanks to a review I went back and fixed them. Now on my latest chapter on that story I feel like I want to re-write a major scene of it. Since I feel that it is almost completely out of character for one of the main characters, Riven. Like that scene seems way to dark for her. Both of these stories I do have the next chapters begun but like I said I'm thinking of making those changes so I don't know when the next chapters will come out.
