(U/N) POV

I stare at Lisbeth as she stares back with a blush

"You really do...do you really feel the same toward me?" I ask her to make sure I'm not hearing things

"Yea...I do," She replies. My head goes blank, I haven't felt this way in a long time.

Suddenly we both are engulfed by light

"What's happening," Lisbeth calls out

"I'm not sure," I say

"(U/N)..." Lisbeth calls out before I awake in a bed

"What the..." I say as nurses and doctors come flying in the room

They check my vitals and ask me questions

"Do you know your name?" A nurse asks

"Yea....its (U/N)," I say as her face drops

" Are you sure?" She asks

"Sure as I'll ever be, where's my axe," I ask looking down to see I'm wearing a thin sheet of clothing. Looking around, I don't see anything that I remember.

"Where am I?" I ask

"You're in a hospital," a nurse says

"What's that?" I ask as everyone's face drops. They do a few more check-ups and leave the room to discuss something. When they came back, the doctor got down to eye level with me

"Listen, kid, it appears you lost your memory. Can you remember anything?" He asks

"Well yea, I can remember the past 1-2 years, I remember having a house in Aincrad and living with a girl called Lisbeth," I tell him

He looks a bit frustrated and goes to speak again," do you remember anything before then?" He asks

"No," I tell him

He looks down," I'll give you a refresher, your name is (Y/N), your 17 and you were one of the many victims in the SAO Incident," the doctor tells me. However, I don't remember a thing.

The doctor continues to talk to me, but no dice. They leave the room and I'm left wondering. Who am I? Am I (Y/N) like the doctor says or am I (U/N) like I remember.

I guess SAO had been cleared and in the next few weeks, I learn more about my situation. I guess it was a last-ditch effort by my brain to keep me alive after emotional stress. And in doing so, I lost most of my memory before SAO started. It didn't affect me much, you can't be sad over something you don't know.

I guess I have some relatives willing to take me in after I finish rehab. But the one thing on my mind was Lisbeth. I'm sure she was fine, but I kinda wanted to see her again.

6 months later

"Money! Money! Money!" I say rubbing my hands against each other. It's been 6 months since SAO was cleared and I'm already in another VRMMORPG, it's Alfheim online. I just finished selling more wood. Even in Alfheim Online, I can cut down trees.

I'm not sure why. But cutting down trees is soothing to me. I can't explain it, but it just calms me down. Whenever I'm having an off day, I hop in this game and swing my axe around.

Along with getting another game. A school for SAO survivors started, currently, my Aunt has me enrolled there. And I've chilled at the back silently.

I look at the time and see it's already midnight, cutting down the endless amount of trees makes time fly that's for sure!

I log out and go to sleep.

When I wake in the morning, it's regular routine as normal. I wake up, eat breakfast and head to school

On my way to school, I see a guy when a striking resemblance to Kirito

I sneak up behind him and give him a little scare, "Boo!" I say as I jab his shoulders

He jumps a bit then looks behind him

"Are you Kirito?" I ask as he looks at me for a few seconds

"Yea, I'm Kirito," he says

"Ehh, buddy, I'm (U/N)," I say as he continues to look at me. Then he finally recognizes me

"(U/N) glad to see your still up and kicking," he says

"Yep, I guess it's (Y/N) here in the real world," I say as I hold out my hand for a handshake

"Ah, Kazuto," he says shaking

"(Y/N) huh, " A girl who looks like Asuna says beside Kazuto

"You must be Asuna," I say as she nods her head

"Yep," she says, then her eyes light up

"Your (U/N)!" say yells as she suddenly grabs my arm and starts running dragging me along

She leads me into the school and then in a classroom. Them to a brown-haired girl

"Rika it's him!" Asuna says out of breath

"Who?" She asks confused

"(U/N)" Asuna blurts out while panting

"(U/N)?" She asks as she looks at me

"That's me," I say scratching my head. She blushes a bit and says

"I'm Lisbeth, it nice to see you again," She says looking down blushing

"Lisbeth?" I ask shocked

"Yea, that's me," she says holding her arm

I hug her right there and right then

"(U/N) this is a bit embarrassing," she says

"I don't care, my feelings haven't changed," I say confessing to her a second time

"Mine hasn't either," She says hugging back
