Sword Art Online

For many, their story begins with the death game, 'Sword Art Online', the very first VRMMORPG that has ever taken the world by storm. It is the beginning for the titular hero Kirito, and much so it is for her as well.

She starts her story with a different take on 'Sword Art Online', however. Rather than bringing forth the truth of Aincrad, a floating castle that becomes the stage of the infamous Vr game—with it, it would shed light on the fact that she was from another world, and that wasn't something she was still willing to speak off with the residents of Underworld—she spins a take into something different, yet appropriate.

For her, for all her friends, this story takes place in a remote location in the Human Realm, with a myriad of flora and fauna still, far from any forms of civilization that any of them might know of.

And rather than 10,000 people, she simply settled for a hundred men and women in total.

"How do we start... Well, I suppose I'll get straight to the point. We had been abducted by a man named Kayaba Akihiko. In doing so, he placed us somewhere, pitting us in a 'death game' of sorts, whereby we had to survive for two whole years," she began, hands—delicate, small and gentle, yet strong all the same—clasped together on her lap. "All hundred of us... Not a wonderful story."

Not that of fiction either, as she had lived through it, alongside nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine other people.

Funny, how it happened. A single desire to simply experience something normal, which could have never been possible for a girl of her upbringing.

Wealth. Her mother could be mistaken to be obsessed with money, but she had simply sought for a luxurious life only for the comfort that it brought. And with the numerous servants that they have, the great lifestyle and food that they have, she hadn't failed in that endeavour.

Fame. Almost anyone knew of the Yuuki family. Her father is the CEO of the RECT Inc. (well, he was, but left his station following the reveal of Sugou's crimes), and her mother was well-known in the business and marketing industries.

Popularity. It came too easily to her, even if she didn't want it. All her classmates, underclassmen and upperclassmen treated her like a princess, showering her with smiles and compliments.

Of course, she simply accepted all of them. She hadn't the heart to tell them off, knowing that they were probably genuine with what they said.

But 'Sword Art Online' was an opportunity; a gateway to an altogether different identity that would inevitably lead to one thing. Her being treated as a normal person.

She merely just wanted that one shot of normalcy.

And it turns into the worst nightmare that she could ever think of being her reality.

Trapped in another world, helpless to do anything as she is forced to fight every single day if she hopes to live out another day, afraid of how her life would turn out when she returns to the living—her mother's disappointment, her isolation from all her classmates...

And the same went for other people other than herself—hope was even more bleak, along with morale and trust. Some people had turned into murderers, some had resorted to suicide, and some were killed in the field of action (be it by the claws of monsters or the hands of their fellow man). To be stuck in a place where none of them knew...
