With Great Power ( Sword Art Online x Male Reader)

For The One I Love

After I revealed just who Heathcliff really is, the players here all stared at him. Whispering could be heard all around me.

Kayaba: Just for my curiosity's sake, would you mind telling me how you figured it out?

U/n: Our battle, that was when I noticed something was up. Remember how you turned the tables against me? You moved way to quickly and blocked my attack.

He nods.

Kayaba: Yes, I thought so. It was a mistake to think that would go unnoticed by you. But you were so strong and so fast, the only choice I had was to engage the system's assist mode.

Kirito: I noticed it to, but paid no attention to it.

People all around gasp once more, the man who was responsible for trapping us here for two years, was right before me. Hiding amongst us.

Kayaba: Yes, I am Akihiko Kayaba. And that my identity's been revealed, it should come as no surprise that I am the final boss on the top floor.

Once more people gasp. Asuna got closer to me and held onto my arm. Sachi did the same with Kirito.

U/n: So, the strongest player in the whole game ends up being the final boss. Cliché, if you ask me.

Kayaba: I like that angle. One thing's for sure-- I always thought you'd be the one standing before me at the very end. You know, dual-wielding is a rare skill-- the kind that's only given to the player with the fastest reaction time. He is the hero of this story-- the one who rises up to challenge the Demon King.

U/n: A Hero, huh? I guess that I like that angle as well.

Kayaba: I bet you do. Imagine my surprise that the skill was gifted to you and Kirto. I know you both had the fastest reaction speed here, so my guess that you two had the same reaction time when the system was granting it and resulted in the two of you getting it. But I'm sure we all know who the rightful owner is, you U/n. The White Devil. You possess strength that exceeded my expectations. I guess these unexpected twists and turns are what makes MMORPGs so thrilling to play.

I clenched my fist in anger.

U/n: Is this what is it to you, a game? Bastard.

One of his lieutenants stood up and glared at him.

Lieutenant: Our loyalty... our hope... how dare you? How dare you?!

He jumps in the air and went to attack Kayaba.

Lieutenant: HOW DARE YOU?!!

Kayaba went to his menu quickly and pressed a button. Whatever it was, static surrounded the player's body and he fell straight to the ground. A paralysis icon appeared right beside his HP meter.

U/n: Paralysis?

Before I knew it, one by one, everyone in the room all started to fall.

Asuna: U/n.

Before Asuna could fall, I caught her. I had my hand behind her back as my knee helped keep her upright. The only person that was not paralyzed, was me. Everyone else laid on the ground, unable to move.

U/n: What are you thinking right now? Kill us and cover up the whole thing? No, if that was the case, you would've paralyzed me as well, which means you have something planned.

Kayaba: How right you are. You see, I have been keeping a watchful eye on you, U/n. I see how you try and help many people as you could. Like that son who lost his mother and wanted her back. You risked your life over a revival item, but it wasn't what you expected it to be.
