Sword Art Online: Integral Factor -White Crimson-

Prologue

As I explore the labyrinth, I saw a girl with a straight black shoulder length hair, bright green emerald colored eyes, and has a normal body fitted to a 15 years old female teen.

If my guess is correct, her height is around 158 to 162cm.

Looking at her face, she seems having a little trouble so I tried to approach her to offer some help.

"Are you okay? Is there something wrong?" I asked in a gentle tone for her to not be startle, but looks like this isn't effective as she jump away from me because of shock as soon as I finished asking her.

"Kyaa!"

"Sorry about that. I didn't intend to startle you."

"Phew..... I thought it was a monster, thank goodness!" She exhaled deeply as she put her hands in her chest.

Hey!

That's rude for mistaking me as a monster!

"So.....? Is there something wrong?" I asked again just in case she forgot.

She just tilted her head as she didn't understand what I mean.

That's cute, but I will keep that to myself.

"Your face telling that you're in trouble so I tried asking you if there's anything I can help with, but looks like everything is okay. Sorry for disturbing you." I decided to leave that place because no matter where you look at, it looks like Im hitting her.

I was about to leave the place when the girl grab my shirt.

Base on her actions, I immediately knew that she is having a problem right now but can't say it maybe because she is embarrased to tell it to others, so I look at her and patiently wait for her to say something.

"....."

The girl clenched her fist to gather all her courage, then she slightly looked at me.

"The truth is..... I-Im trying to raise my level by killing some monsters, but Im too afraid to do that." She said while I can feel her hands trembling.

"Are you perhaps..... new in playing VR?"

"I don't know how you knew, but yeah..... Not only in VR, but also in a video game as well."

That's obvious!

The first time I look at you, I knew that there's a high chance you're a newbie!

"C-can you please teach me how to properly play this game?"

Normally, I refuse in such request where only one side is having a merit, but this time, I make an excemption in the first time in my life.

"Sigh..... Okay, but first things first. We need to know what weapon are compatible to you."

"Isn't this sword enough?" She asked while she drew her sword from her back.

"The way how you handle it is not appropriate. Its a little bit heavy, isn't?"

"Yeah, but I think I can handle it, and besides, I saw a lot of player using a sword."

"That's not good! Not because many players use it means it is the most appropriate weapon for you. Some experienced player, test their compabality to each weapon and choose depending on what will suit to their style. Sometimes, the most underated one is better than those meta."

"I don't understand what you're saying, but I will trust your guide."

Good thing I have different types of weapon on me that I used when I'm trying to see what weapon are compatible to me.
