"I-it-its dead..."
"We did it"
"No way!"
"Who got the final blow!?"
"Im going to tell my mom about this when I go back to the real world!"

Cheers were heard all around the boss room, and rightly so.

We just defeated the Floor Boss!

A lot of people came to our little group and thanked us for helping them live another day. Asuna looked embarrassed, as if she didn't want to be there.

I looked around the room, only to find Kirito looking at us with what seemed to be a thoughtful look. I decided to go ask if anything was wrong.

"Hey, Kirito, are you alright? What are you thinking about?"

"Yeah I am fine Percy, thanks. I was just wandering if mayb- you know, never mind, its nothing."

I looked at him with a confused look, but he ignored it. Alright, no problem, he probably hasn't gotten over what happened to Bluey. (A/N Sorry if I call him Bluey instead of his real name, I just thought that maybe Percy wouldn't care about it) Its all fine.

Right?

______________________

"Kirito! Switch!" Dam (See what I did there haha ;D) this was one hell of a fight. Nothing we couldn't handle though.

A month had passed, and we may as well be one of the most powerful guild in SLO. Kirito, Jason and I have grinded for days without sleep, and we were all around the levels 40-50. I personally am level 48, and since I was the highest in the group, just 1 or 2 levels above Kirito and Jason, I decided to look for someone to replace Asuna as she had left after the floor 1 boss fight because of her own personal reasons which she didn't want to talk about, and we respected it.

And so, for a month we've been trying to recruit someone else to help us out with our team formations which required 4 or more people to perform them successfully.

As I was walking around the outskirts of the town we are on, I saw a guy, walking alone, towards a dungeon close by.

This isn't good. Dungeons are mostly performed by high level guilds, not by suicidal solo players. I must warn him!

"Hey! You! Are you thinking of actually going in there alone!? You are going to die!" I yelled at him.

"Does it really matter if I die? After all, I have no one to go back to." He whispered back.

"Hey don't think like that! You must have some family thats worried about you." I replied.

"The only family I have is my older sister, but she doesn't care about me! All she cares about is going to the International Archery Competition!" He yelled back, and immediately ran into the dungeon. This isn't good.

I ran after him, half hoping he would turn back and realize how stupid it was to run in alone. But he didn't turn back. Not one bit.

As I entered the dungeon, I looked around for him, and found him taking on 4 monsters surrounding him. No way he could win!

But just as I said that, in a fast movement, the guy slashed all four of them with his sword technique.

"W-what?" I stumbled out. This isn't a challenge for him, in fact, it seemed as if he wasn't trying!

The guy instantly got a pop up display, which showed something I thought I wouldn't see around here, something you would see around the front-lines.

The guy was level 54.

Line break

"Yo guys! I found our 4th!" I exclaimed as I walking into our 2 story house, hoping they would hear me.

Nico was behind me, his back against the door and his dark eyes closed.

Nico looked around 15 years old, with dark hair and dark eyes, standing at around 5'8 in height.

"Really!? Thats awesome!" Jason came running down the stairs, while Kirito was walking behind him, with a thoughtful look towards Nico.

"Whats your name?" Jason asked.

"Nico"

"Nice meeting you Nico, Im Jason, and this is Kirito here behind me"

Nico looked at Kirito, and nodded at him. Kirito did the same to him.

"So ah, you're going to join the party?" Jason asked him.

"Sure, why not. What do I have to lose?" Nico whispered the last sentence, which I heard since I was next to him.

"Alright, I sent you the party invite" Kirito told him.

As soon as he accepted the party, we could see his HP at the top left, under all ours.

"NicoDiAngelo"

And that all for today guys/gals, hope you enjoyed and I am hoping I can get back to writing this story, since I would really like to finish it.
