" Okay, from the top now, tell me everything that has happened while you were in the server. " said a government agent in fluent Japanese while placing a recording device on the table between us. " He's an American. They don't speak Japanese. He can only understand what you're saying through a interpreter. " Said another agent who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded.
" I'm only going to say this once. So listen good. You will tell us what happened in there and we'll ask your ambassador to be lenient towards you. " He said in almost perfect english, and getting into [his] face.

Looking at the Japanese agent across the table [he] spoke. " Asking the ambassador wouldn't make a difference. Besides I won't need an interpreter when I have you. Also I.... don't know where to start. "[He] said in almost fluent Japanese, while looking at the other agent before turning to the one sitting across from [him].

"Ugh. So you can speak Japanese. What a surprise. Why don't you start at the beginning. That's where most stories start. " Said the other agent after leaning against the wall once again. " A story huh, Alright then.
I'll tell you a story about what happened. But I don't think you'll like this one. It's ending isn't good, nether is most of the story. But here goes. And by the way, your good cop bad cop routine needs work. " [He] said taking a sip of water.

"Like all stories they have a beginning as you said. Mine however.............starts in the town of beginnings just like the 9,999 other players, when SAO was launched. "
" What happened before the official launch of Sao? " Asked the agent sitting across from [him]. " What happened before the editorial has nothing to do with what happened after. Anyway getting back to the story gentleman and with no more interruptions. " [He] said continuing in Japanese.

My name is Ronnan, in game anyway, after Kayaba delivered his speech most people was in a mad dash trying to get out of the town Square . I just stood there for a little while, probably in shock , didn't really know how to act nor what to do. Looking to my left I saw a girl unconscious by the fountain for a minute or two, and two men arguing, Over what I don't know. Didn't care. Didn't have anything to do with me so I started walking towards the south gate, a big man grabbed my shoulder. " Are you ok man? You look a little pail." I looked to my right. He was tall, dark skin, and bald, he had a axe on his back and level one green armor.

"yeah, I'm fine mac just heading for the next town." I said. " I hope so kid, you heard what Kayaba said about your HP hitting 0 right?." " yeah , I'll keep that in mind. "I said as I continued to walk towards the south gate. He said something to me but I didn't hear it.
" At this point in the game I did use the translator. But don't worry I didn't use it for long. " [He] said taking another sip of water.

I stopped at the gate for a moment to look at the surroundings. Thinking back to when my avatar became what I really look like, my face is somewhat egg shaped with dark hair about jaw length and light blue eyes. My height was 5'9", and thin .

My armor was of dark blue fabric, a tin chest plate, dark blue pants, and tan boots. My weapon of choice was a short sword I carried on my back which I drew out with my left hand. Took one last look back at the  plaza, and stepped out on to the road.

All the while I kept repeating what Kayaba said about our HP hitting 0. When that happens you die. Not only in game but also IRL . But part way in my journey to the next town I stopped thinking about it.

As I walked I defended against several wolves and bores with my sword. The wolves and bores seemed somewhat redundant but I was leveling up quickly. About half way through my journey I started to do hand to hand combat.

I don't know why, I just didn't feel like using my sword. About a half mile from the next town I was ambushed by two wolves. But instead of unsheathing my sword I took a stance for hand to hand combat, South paw.
