The White Swordsman (An SAO Fanfic

The Meeting

One Month. One month after Akiko Kayaba announced the truth behind Sword Art Online. In one month,2000 people died. Some died trying to defeat a boar, others just completely committing suicide. I'm now level 16, and my weapon is the Buster sword I was fantasizing about from day one, the blade 4 feet long, cleaner than the pope's mind, no matter how many creatures i kill, the handle red as the sky a month ago. It's been one month and we still haven't found the boss room. But, today the players are having a meeting, to find and defeat the boss.

I look towards the universal clock. My eyes a bit blurry,trying to focus on something so far away. 14:30 The meeting starts in 30 minutes. With a sigh, i stand up, my boots connecting with the hard grey stone ground, I start walking to the Amphitheater, Then I slide my sword in my back sheath, sliding in with a satisfying click and I continue walking, my boots clicking with every step i take.

When I arrive i'm amazed. The amphitheater was one hundred feet tall, designed no doubt to resemble the ever so famous Greek Colosseum, The entrance was two large oak doors, which were slightly ajar. I walk to the doors and try to push them open. to no avail, I planted my left foot, perpendicular to the door and with all my overpowered strength, I kick it in. This time, it caves in, making a sound so loud it can be heard throughout the ampitheatre. Pretending nothing happened, I walk through the door, just to see everyone staring at me. Blood racing to my face, I continue walking. I see another girl about my age, with long hair, parted to the right, wearing all black armor. What threw me off about her wasn't her armor, because I was wearing all black too, it was the look she gave me, she was smiling, yet, I felt like she wanted to rip my face off. So of course, given my common sense, I sit next to her. She glares at me for a second and then looks ahead.

"Hi, I'm Wonderland"

"weird name" She retorts

'Well What's your's?" I ask

"Darknight" she says

"Fun" I say halfheartedly because the meeting was about to start.

Then, A blue haired sword and shield user walks to the podium,

"Hello, my name is Diabel, and the job i've taken in this game is knight!" he proclaims, excitedly

"THERE"S NO JOB SYSTEM IN THIS GAME" Everyone seems to say. I look to my right, towards the scary girl, she seems to be strong, her sword is leaning against her leg, it was a beautiful katana with a blue handle. I look towards her face, it seems she's bored now. Her frightful smile has shifted towards the look of disappointment.

"Now," Diabel continues, "Our sources have found the boss room" murmurs of excitement fill the amphitheatre" " And our plan of attack is.." Diabel was interrupted by another player saying.

" HEY! CAN I SAY SOMETHING?" almost as loud as when I kicked the door in. God, just thinking about it made me feel overwhelmed by embarrassment. The annoying player started jumping down to the podium, he landed and tried to push off next to me. Bad decision, I put my arm out, tripping this annoying kid. Not expecting it, the kid tripped and landed on his face. Then he started tumbling down. Oops. That might hurt. The player hit the ground and he got back up.

I get a closer look at the kid, he has pointy hair, blue eyes and is severely tan. " hello, my names Kibao, and I want to talk about something we're all thinking, this is the beta testers fault. Because of them, a lot of people died, and they took all of the good XP and quests. I even bet that there are " The annoying kid says. Then, a man twice Kiba's height says " Hey can I say something?" and stands up. The man that stood up had chocolate colored skin, was very muscular, like a bodybuilder and he had a giant hammer connected to his back.

"Hi, Kibao was It?" He says.

"It Is." Kibao says back.

"Hi, my names Agil" The large man says. Agil, cool username, short and sweet.

"And you say we should blame the beta testers for all the quests disappearing." Agil says

"Yea" Kiboa says.

Then, Agil pulls out a handbook, one no doubt everyone had, some people were handing them out in the first week, informing people how to fight monsters, navigate the menu and even earn Xp.

"Yea, what about it?" Kibao huffs crossing his arms.

Agil looks at the crowd holding up the handbook.

"This was written and distributed by the beta testers. Everyone has access to the information"

They both sat down in their chairs, Kibao passed by me, whispering so only I could here.

" If you humiliate me like that again, I'll kill you"

"You can try." I whisper back

Then Diabel continued, obviously annoyed with the interruption. " The boss's name is Illfang the Kobold Lord, and several smaller creatures spawn near him, they are called the Kobold Sentinels. Illfang has three health bars and uses an Axe and shield. Because he's so strong we will split into parties of four to six." Crap, just like the real world, I have no friends. I look towards the scary girl.

" Wanna party with me?" I ask

"Depends, were you in the beta?"

"No, What level are you?" I return

"15, what level are you?" she says back

" 17" Her eyes register slight shock.

"Fine, I'll party with you." She says, sounding defeated. She sent me a party request

A little white screen asked me to confirm the request. I confirmed and I saw her name near my health bar.

Then Diabel said " Ok guys, meet at the boss room at 10:00 tomorrow." He smiles at us one more time and leaves. Then the annoying kid Kibao comes down and puts his hand on my shoulder.

" I can't let something that embarrassing go." He says

" Well, what do you think you can do about it?"

" I'm going to fight you." he said, obviously proud of his skills

Sighing I stand up, go down to the center of the amphitheatre, equip my weapon, seeing slight wonder in his eyes. I send him a dual request, the rules simple: First strike wins. he accepts. I look up, there's a 60 second countdown timer. I look up, at kirito and Darknight. They seem intrigued to see my fight. The annoying kid equipped a ivory sword, and easy boar drop. I smirk, this will be too easy, he probably isn't even level 10 yet. The countdown timer gets to 0 and Kibao rushes me, I was right. He's too slow. I hold by sword in one hand, and before he realizes it I sprint towards him, faster than 5 of him combines and i slash at his chest. His health goes down by half and I win.

"How?" He says, looking up at me.

" Next time, be careful who you challenge."

And I leave, sliding my sword into my sheath with a satisfying click.
