Sword Art Online:Reimagined

Argo

"HAAH! HAAH- UGH-"

I was gasping for breath so hard, I would've vomited if it was possible.

Who knows sprinting for two hours straight while avoiding both fights and traps would be this difficult?

"HOOOO boy..."

I sat down on the stairs just before the floor with the ambush trap.

I can't go out fighting like this, I'll just get myself killed.

Resting comes first right now, there wasn't any sound of fighting and her name hasn't disappeared from my friends list either so she should be fine.

I took out some water and began chugging it, SAO didn't simulate most of the internal organs function so there wasn't a need to worry about drinking too much.

"Haaa..."

Refreshed, I began to catch my breath.

Alright, I'm feeling bet-

Just before I relaxed, aggressive growls and metal clashing resonated through the floor.

Damn it.

...

I narrowly parried the heavy blade 'n slipped through the gaps between the Ruin Kobolds.

I followed the path 'n turned, only to be met with five more Ruin Kobolds.

"Fuck..."

This is gon' be REALLY hard, but there ain't no other choice.

Can't wait for help anymore, no way he'll get here in time.

"Huh?"

Three throwin' knives hit the rear Ruin Kobolds, followed by intense continuous flashes of light, next thing I know, only two were left, and they weren't focusin' on me.

Soon 'nough, the two Ruin Kobolds fell 'n what was left was a guy in a cloak with a sword in his hand

Boy, never before have I been so glad for bein' proven wrong.

"Run!"

He yelled.

'Course, I would run even without him tellin' me so.

Followin' me from behind were packs of Dire Wolves and Kobolds, probably like thirty of 'em combined.

Luckily they were all cramped into this small corridor, so we could outrun 'em easily.

I reached him 'n we ran like our lives depend on it, using quick turns and small passages to lose 'em.

Suddenly he paused.

I was grabbed 'n pulled into a dark small space low in the wall like the one I was previously in at the corner of this floor.

I sat and leaned on the wall to catch my breath while the guy looked like he was dyin'.

"AUGH- HAAAH! HAAAH! UGH-"

He'd probably be vomitin' by now if that was possible, 'n I began to really feel guilty.

Reachin' here in two hours was beyond record speed, needless to say, he saved my hide.

"Ya' okay?"

"YEA- UGH- YEAH YEAH I'M- BLEG- COUGH- COUGH- yEah I'm GoOD."

Wow, what a terrible liar.

I threw him a small canteen of water from my inventory 'n he gladly accepted it before absolutely devourin' everythin' that was inside it.

"Puah! Haaah... Thanks..."

He said so as he wiped sweat off his face and ran his finger through his messy brown hair.
