Sword Art Online

World of Swords

A/N: So most of this has been from the Manga, but it will be a clash between the two.

Grammatical Errors?: Because they're what I'm here for.

Turning on the computer's monitor in a swift motion, the male then sat down in his chair with a magazine in his hands. He already had his headphones atop his head, blasting what seemed to be a woman's loud voice―his volume was probably all the way up, but he didn't care. He was paying attention to both the magazine and the video. He was surrounded by two other monitors―the one that was showing the video being in the middle and one on each of it's sides. The first time he opened the magazine he had carelessly flipped through it, quickly, as if to see if anything would catch his eye. Nothing. Even as he neared the last few pages nothing had tried to appeal to him. That was the way he was though. He didn't know what he was really capable of anymore. The two idiots he hung out with were literally forcing this onto him―especially that Lenalee. She always had a habit of dragging him into something he deemed unnecessary. But once he heard it was a game, his expression had changed a bit. His view on her changed, as well. Lavi on the other hand was just a damn handful. Always jumping into things without thinking even though he already had strategies planned out in his head. He rarely ever told anyone about them unless they were serious. As he closed the magazine a sigh erupted from his mouth. The high-schooler returned his attention to the first monitor which had been posted on Facebook not long ago―probably minutes ago. The comments automatically scrolled down as new comments appeared at the top, the page would occasionally scroll back up to show the newest comments that had been sent out. Most of them were about how people wished they could have been one of the lucky people to win one of the ten thousand copies that were sent out. Lavi and Lenalee were two of those ten thousand. He on the other hand had bought everything before the game had been officially launched. Beta testing wasn't so bad. Alpha testing would've been better though.

Once he realized he had been spacing out he planned to focus on the video now that it had automatically replayed itself. The woman's voice seemed to be annoying him like it had been rewound millions of times.

''It's time for this week's MMO stream! We began with a promotional video. Was this the day of last week's launch? What were all these people waiting in line for? Sword Art Online! The one at the front of the line waited three days prior to launch. Amazing!''

He reopened the catalog to flip through a few pages of it. It was a catalog of the newest game that had been launched by the Millennium co. The biggest VRMMO workers who were known best for making extraordinary games with dungeons that blew people's minds away because of such detail. He stopped on a page that advertised a picture of one of the main producers. The page read: Sword Art Online Project director, Tyki Mikk. It had a picture of the Portuguese male in a white lab coat, black pants, tie, and a white dress shirt to match the lab coat. The picture was plain. In the background there was a black office chair that seemed as comfortable as the chair that he was currently sitting within. The blinds were closed and a dark brown with nothing but a laptop residing upon it stood behind him. He happened to be blocking the view of the laptop with his own body so he could not tell what type it was.

''Or is this just what any real gamer would do? On today's MMO stream, we'll be covering the internationally famous Sword Art Online, aka: SAO!''
