So I Entered the World of Sword Art Online... book 1, Video Games? OH YEAH!

Chapter 1 (First Arc, introductions)

So I entered the world of Sword Art Online. It was a rather interesting experience to say the least. I didn't just enter their video games. I full-on entered their real world too. That's why I entered it and didn't just FIND it. I ended up exiting the portal right inside Kazuto's bedroom when he was using his NerveGear. It was kind of unnerving, knowing that he couldn't see me. A NerveGear floated down to me from what seemed like the heavens. It had a cord and everything. Holy shit, a really expensive device, given to me for free? Yeah, my first reaction was pretty loud. It also took me a moment to remember that a person can't wake up unless they log out. I put on the NerveGear INSIDE Kazuto's room and plugged it in. I then entered ALO. Oh shit, this was about to get crazy and not to mention what Kazuto will see when he logs out...

I ended up finding myself on the floating castle of Aincrad. The original layout and setting for SAO. I was on floor twenty two. I found a lake, wandered around its perimeter and found a cabin. It was sold and I knew it was Asuna's and Kirito's.

I waited outside the front door until it started to get dark. I then thought something was wrong. I then headed to the thirtieth floor where I suspected they were probably fighting a boss. I walked to the door. It was closed and I could hear voices from inside.

"Oh. There you are..." I said menacingly to myself.

I then crept around the side of the boss room and climbed through a window. Yeah, there was a window to this boss room for some reason. I saw Asuna, Kirito, Leafa, Silica, Liz, Sinon, and Alice all fighting the boss but getting pretty shattered.

"Oh, I can't watch this anymore," I muttered to myself.

They were all higher levels than me, obviously. I had fought a few monsters on the way here. I was only level three though. The level cap had been updated for ALO and now you could get to level two hundred. One hundred more floors were also added, adding extra massiveness to the floating castle. There were a total of one hundred and thirty floors built in now. I was expecting them to add up to two hundred total floors at least.

It only just occurred to me now, that a NerveGear doesn't need a cord to operate. Why it came to me now? I don't know. But it certainly looked like they were out of the Underworld now. They can return any time they please, it is Alice's home after on.

Everyone fighting the boss, except Kirito, were all in the red zone in health. Kirito was only barely in the yellow zone.

The boss they were trying to beat was what seemed like a spiky basilisk. It can turn people to stone for five seconds when it uses that ability. Five seconds might not seem like a lot, but it is certainly enough time for the basilisk to cause major damage.

"HEY BITCH!" I shouted. "LOOK OVER THIS WAY FATASS!"

The basilisk swung it's head and started coming towards me.

By the way, they also added a leveling system to ALO. Pretty sweet. That update came out quite a long time ago though. When Kirito and the others were all trapped in the Underworld.

They were all much, much higher levels than me. I was level three. They were all between level seventy and level eighty. The boss was level eighty-four.

The boss started slithering towards me faster.

It then jumped to the wall because snakes can apparently do that? But I was unfazed. I just jumped upwards and slid a dagger into the scales on its neck. I landed on its back and then jumped on the main platform.

"Who are you?" Kirito asked.

"Well, I'm not the black swordsman," I replied.

"That's my title!" Kirito exclaimed.
