●Chapter 2: The World Of Swords.

At first there was a flash of white, then there were lines of all colours speeding towards and past you, then words like 'touch' and 'smell' came up, a screen came up telling you to type in your password, as well as confirming to name your avatar (U/N). Once you were finished it went grey with the words: "WELCOME TO SWORD ART ONLINE" And then a flash of white was all you saw.

You slowly opened your eyes, you appeared to be in some kind of courtyard you looked down on your hands, and clenched your fists. And then you saw a flash of light appear in front of you, it was a player. Then another flash, then another and soon the entire empty courtyard was filled to the brim with players, this was the beggining of Sword Art Online.

You felt a tap on your shoulder, you turned around to see a  male player slightly shorter than you, with spiky white hair and red eyes, with a feather earing on his right ear. "Umm hello, who're you?" You ask him. "Really you don't recognize me big bro?". Just then realization struck like a train.

"Shoji?!?"You ask in a surprised tone. How could this cool looking, fair height player be your ten year old brother? Shoji laughs at how surprised you look. "Don't look so surprised Y/N, oh! Sorry I mean..."He paused to look at your username, and slightly snickered."Really bro? U/N? That's so lazy, you just put in the colour of your hair.".  That was quite true, you had (H/C2) for your hair(and player name) and replaced your previous eye colour with a vibrant (E/C2).  You avatar had a slim figure with a rather adult look. You looked over to your brother and checked his profile, and you burst out laughing.

"Wa-w-whats so funny?" Shoji asked. But you kept laughing, he was starting to get nervous as to what you found so amusing. After about a minute  of laughing you spoke: "You tell me I'm lazy about picking names, and yet you just went with your name.Hahahaa!" You ontinued laughing, your brother started to show a light blush and an expression of anger. "Well I couldn't think of anything okay?" You stopped laughing and just started walking to where the other players are. "Hey Bro! Wait up!" He yelled, and ran to catch up with you.

You were in a market, there were plenty of players about, talking to each other, forming parties and trading with the npcs buying weapons and potions. You were leaning against a wall while waiting for you brother to finish buying, scratch that decide whether to get a dagger or a sword as a main weapon.

You on the other hand, were pondering on your question. That damn question you could'nt answer, it was so irritating how you could never find the answer to it. You had always thought about how to answer it, breaking into a list of why and why not the real world was worth living in.

On the first take, you had a pretty decent life in the real world, you had an average grade in school, plenty of friends and a nice family. On the second hand no matter how you thought about it, you sensed that there was something missing in your life, you didn't know what it was exactly, it could be anything.

Then you noticed something, you looked down at your hand, seeing the detail in the cloth of the gloves you wore, the fabric and slight imperfections of the needlework. You moved your hand closer, even the fingerprints looked realistic to you. You were impressed at the amount of detail that Kayaba put into making this game become a reality, you then started thinking about all the possibilities you could have with this world.

.........possibilities.....

"UGHHH! This is so hard to decide!!" You were cut off guard by your brother shouting in anger and annoyance. "It isn't really that difficult to decide Shoji, just pick one" "But it's important (U/N), whatever weapon I pick now determines how well I am in fighting."
