Chapter 2:

*You have received a message from Kirito*

Naruto's message jingle went off in his head. He stopped walking on the winding forest path and took a moment to check his surroundings for monsters. Once he was certain that no monsters were in the vicinity to sneak up on him, Naruto opened his menu and checked his new incoming message.

"Naruto, help me!"

When Naruto read the first line, he was shocked. It was only a few hours after the first floor boss was defeated and Kirito was already asking for some kind help from him. He threw his head back and laughed out loud. I guess he trusts me more than I thought. He looked back down at his message and continued reading.

"I took on a quest with impossible parameters and requirements. I know I'm not really supposed to say this to others, but there is a quest on this floor that gives an Extra Skill. I'm doing it right now, but it's seriously IMPOSSIBLE! I'm required to break a circular rock that's about 1.5 meters wide in diameter, and if I don't…I get permanent marks on my face."

Naruto took slight offence at the last sentence. He liked his whisker marks.

"Please, Naruto, do me a favor and help me. Besides, you'll get something out of it, too. The Extra Skill is Martial Arts. It should definitely be worth it. Please help this helpless Beater."

Naruto closed the message and chuckled. So…Kirito has a sense of humor, huh? He checked his surroundings once more, and then continued walking up the winding path.

"I think I'll let Kirito suffer for a while. Besides, he never even told me where the quest is. Now, where is that quest boss?" With that thought in mind, Naruto gripped the pommel of his Anneal Blade, which would still be the strongest blade until the Fourth Floor. He sprinted up the path, passing trees and bushes. All of a sudden, he stopped running. Then, he facepalmed. Shaking his head, he looked up at the trees in the forest and began to calculate something in his head.

"Can't I just jump on the trees?" He asked himself. I'll never know before I try! He pumped chakra into his legs and jumped on the branches, speeding up his travel speed exponentially. This is AWESOME! At that moment, Naruto felt truly free and open. He whooped as he flew through the trees and branches in the air. After twenty minutes, Naruto ended up in front of the boss room.

The room was large with plenty of space for Naruto to use his chakra. Wonderful! It was made of stone and had a dark setting.

The boss was a spider-like creature that stood nearly three meters tall. It had six eyes and had two slightly smaller spiders next to it. Its hairy legs were oozing with purple liquid, probably poison. Every player would have at least flinched at the sight of the ridiculously large spider. However, Naruto stared at it with a feral smile, excited at the chance to use chakra with no one else to watch or hinder him.

He raised his sword and dagger and bent his knees, leaning into his stance. Naruto grinned even wider before he yelled, "LET'S GO WILD!"

The largest spider shrieked in response, and the three spiders charged Naruto.

(Time Skip: 2 minutes)

"Kami, that was so boring…" Naruto yawned and stretched out his body, leaning back and reaching his hands as high as he could. The boss was supposed to be strong and strike fear into a person, but Naruto ignored the fear and…never fought fairly, a trait he learned from his father and grandfather. If he fought fairly against his mother…let's just say he would have been a lot more extreme when it comes to avoiding sword fighting against her.
