Eren felt like he was back in the clouds when he started the rumbling. He was taken out of that trance when his feet something on the ground. He open his eyes as he saw the buildings in front of him. They all formed the town known as Town of Beginnings. Spawning next to him was a black hair boy with the name tag on top of him saying: Kirito. 

Kirito turn to Eren and said "You didn't change your appearance?"

"I didn't really see the point of it" Eren told him. Kirito saw his name tag and said "And you use your real name."

"What's wrong with people knowing my name?" Eren asked him. "If you become a big player, people are going to be saying: Eren Jeager!" Kirito said as he thought of the way he had just said Eren's name. "Actually, saying your name is kind of awesome" Kirito told him. The two of them begin going to fields where they knew were the best monsters to farm. 

The reason was because both Eren and Kirito were beta testers of the game. Kirito was able to get Eren a beta test of the game, and the both of them played it until it was closed down. They walked through the town as someone called out to them. The two of them turn and saw a player. "You need something?" Kirito asked. "Damn, you guys walked fast" the player told them. "Are you guys beta testers?"

"Yeah" Kirito answer him. "Today's my first day. Give me a tip to get through the early levels, huh?" the player asked. Eren and Kirito were doubtful but the player continue to beg for their help. "My name is Klien, nice to meet you!" the player introduce himself. "Kirito" Kirito said. "Eren" Eren told Klein. 

The three of them went to a field where Klein was being pushed away by boars. "It hit me in the crotch!" Klein shouted. "You can't feel pain" Eren told him as he realized he was right. "You need to focus on your motion attack" Kirito explained as he gave a demonstration on the boar. Klein soon followed his advice, finishing off the boar. Klein was celebrating his defeat of the boar as Kirito congratulated him.

"But they're weak as slime in other games" Kirito told him. "What, I thought it was some mid level boss!?" Klein said. "Nope" Kirito said as more boars started spawning.

The sun was almost setting as the three players spend most of the day killing the boars. "Man, this is so addictive!" Klein said. "You guys were lucky, you got to be one of one thousand people to play the beta test."

"Yeah, we got to floor eight in one month" Eren said. "And that was one month. Now we know what to do, so the other floors should be easy" Kirito said. Klein realize the time as he said "Woah, it's late! I need to go, I ordered a pizza and it should be coming now." He turn to two boys and said "Later I'm playing with some friends, want to friend them so we can play together."

"No, we're good" Kirito told him. Eren mostly agreed with him, not wanting to meet people he hadn't met in real life. "Well, ok. See ya" Klein said as he walked away from them before pulling up the menu. Eren and Kirito were about to leave when Klein said something. "Hey guys. Where's the log out button?" he asked the two players. "What do you mean? It's on the menu" Kirito told him.

"I can't see find it" Klein told him as Kirito pulled up his menu. Eren pulled up his and confirm Klein's claim. "What's going on?" Kirito said as suddenly they were back at the town of beginnings. They weren't the only ones as it seemed that every player in the game was there. "What's gong on here?" players were saying. 

"Look up there!" someone said as they all look up and saw a coat figure in the sky. "Attention players, I welcome you to my world" the figure said. "My name is Akihiko Kayaba, I am in control of this world."

"I'm sure most of you noticed an item is missing from your main menu: the log out button. Let me assure you this is not a defect in the game. This is how Sword Art Online was designed to be. You cannot log yourselves out of SAO, and no one from outside will be able to shut down or remove your Nerve Gear from your head. If anyone attempts to do so, a transmitter inside the Nerve Gear will discharge a microwave signal into your skull, destroying your brain and ending your life."
