The Masked Hero {SAO X Male Reader}

Truth

You and Alice were sitting together resting as the night sky came. But you felt odd.

Raijin: Eugeo?

Alice: What?

Raijin: Nothing. I think we can continue climbing the once the moon rises. If we can just create wedges, it shouldn't be too tough. And it doesn't seem like there are any more minions stationed above us. It's just that, aside from the matter of resources, I'm so hungry, just thinking about how many more mels we need to climb makes me dizzy.

Alice: That's why I find you to be lacking discipline. What's so devastating about missing a meal or two? It's not like you're a child.

Raijin: Yeah, yeah, I'm just a child. I mean, I'm a young adult. Unlike you Integrity Knights, I still have to eat or my life will plummet.

Alice: I'll have you know that even Integrity Knights get hungry, and unless we eat, our life is depleted.

Alice's stomach growled and you snickerd but she quickly grabbed her sword.

Raijin: Sorry! Since they're alive, even Integrity Knights get hungry. Hmm...

You pulled out the lunch that Cardinal made for you earlier.

Raijin: Here.

Alice: Why would you keep something like that in your pocket?

Raijin: Let me heat it up. System Call. Generate Thermal Element.

Alice: Are you stupid? You're just going to burn them.

Alice grabbed the steam buns.

Alice: Generate Thermal Element. Aqueous Element. Aerial Element. Vortex Shape. Burst.

The steams buns were warm enough to eat.

Raijin: Hurry and give me one.

Alice was about to eat both.

Raijin: Hey!

Alice: I was just joking.

Alice gave you one and you blew on it and ate it.

Raijin: I'm impressed. As expected of Selka's older sister, since she's such a great cook.

Alice grabbed your shirt.

Alice: What did you just say?

Raijin: I said you have a younger sister.

Alice: Younger sister?

Raijin: I'll tell you about it. I don't know if you'll accept it or not, but I'll tell you everything I believe to be true.

Alice: Speak. However, if there's any trace of deceit in your words, I will slay you on the spot.

Raijin: Okay. Alice, you don't remember who gave birh to you, or where you were raised.

Alice: I was told it's because the moment Integrity Knights are summoned, the goddess Stacia seals our memories of the heavens.

Raijin: It's true that your memories have been sealed. But it wasn't the goddess Stacia who did that, but the pontifex herself. And it's not your memories of the heavens that were sealed, it was your past and childhood memories that were. Your real name is Alice Zuberg. You were born in a small village in the northern hinterlands called Ruild. And when you were 11, you went to explore the cave through the End Mountains and ended up barely crossing the boundary between the Human Empire and the Dark Territory. In other words, the taboo you violated was "tresspassing into the Dark Territory."

Alice: Alice Zuberg. That's my name? Ruild... The End Mountains... I can't remember any of it.

Raijin: Don't force yourself to remember it. You'll end up like Eldrie.
