Sword Art Online: Re-Release

Special Series 1(Flashback) January 1 2027: Sinon

Hey guys! It's been my whole summer since I updated, so sooooorrrryyy! I just am not finding the time to update, but I am finally cracking one out. Also, the guild name voting on the previous chapter is still going on, Order of the Forgotten-2, Star Striders-1, and a few others. If you could please vote for the ones I put down instead of others I would appreciate it because these names are important. 8.5k! This book has grown so much and I am proud of all of you for supporting me thus far! Without further ado, let's get this (Long overdue) special chapter rolling!  (BTW!  This is a mini series talking about Sinon!)

Floor 23: Xafire

6 days. 6 days since that moment. 6 whole days. His Elucidator became mine, it dropped by me when he faded away. Now I have the duel-wielding skill, and I have no clue how to use it. Messages have stacked up on my social window of my menu, but I don't check them. Knocking at my door has faded as the days went by. The darkness and bitter cold have welcomed me with open arms.

Nothing like that should have ever happened. It was unexplainable. No one to blame, nowhere for it to have come from.  It just happened.  And now I am all alone.  Sometimes I feel like I should just fade into darkness.  Succumb to it.  Let it overtake me.  It's just so welcoming.  Maybe...I belong there...

"SINON!  SINON!  OPEN THE DOOR!  I KNOW YOU ARE IN THERE!  ANSWER ME!  SINON!"  There she is again.  Doesn't Asuna realize by now that I don't care?  She made herself clear a long time ago that she didn't care.  I whisper to myself, "Go away...I don't need you or anyone else in this wretched game.  The one person I trusted is gone." 

Later rather than sooner, Asuna finally left me.  I was left to my thoughts again.  I look over at the door and see his Elucidator still lying there.  A chill goes through me as I remember once again what happened on that day.  Who even was responsible for that?  Why did it have to be him?  Of all people, why him!?  These words make my blood boil with hate and anger.  I start sweating and breathing heavily.  I am slowly going crazy in here.  I need to leave, now.

I start taking deep breaths, calming myself.  I slowly gather my things and put his sword in my inventory for later.  I put on some everyday clothes and go for a walk in town.  As I am walking I start to feel a little bit better, though I am still feeling quite miserable.  I decide to head to one of the cafe's.  When I get in I order Green Tea with some honey and I sit down an just look out the window.

I must have been in there for at least half an hour before i get a tap on my shoulder.  I turn around to see this boy with a goofy grin.  "Hey, it's not everyday we see a pretty girl by herself out here.  What brings you to this humble abode?"  Cheeky, if I know anything about it at all.  "Oh no, you have the wrong idea, I live on this floor.  I just...haven't been out in awhile."  He gives me a weird look, "So, you live here, but I've never seen you before.  Do you have somewhere you go off to normally?"  

Man, this guy is pushy as heck.  I'm a little irritated already, so it probably sounded like it as well, "I'd rather not discuss it, but if you have to know I was on the front line floors regularly."  His eyes get big, "Wait, you are a front-liner!?"  Everyone in the cafe stares at me and I feel uncomfortable.  I get up to start leaving and he stops me again. "Hey, since you are a front-liner and all, would mind joining-"

"No."

"C'mon just hear me out!"

"No!"

"Just give me a chance!"

"NO!"

I take off without another word.  Leaving him there dumb-founded.  I don't have time to be joining guilds, let alone with a guy like him.  I reach my house and get in and lock the door.  I realized I didn't even know his name.  But then again, why should I care?  I probably will never see him again.  Or at least, that's what I thought...
