Swords. A weapon that has the same qualities as all of other weapons. It is used to kill yet at the same time, used to protect.

When she thinks of swords, she thinks of the word protector. She likes sword, likes how it protects her life, protects her friends from danger. She liked hearing the clash of swords, the echoe of metal and metal brushing to each other, the sparks it creates, the adrenaline she feels when she's fighting.

Her eyes blinked.

Oh!

She blinked again, reaching for one sword, admiring it, the metal work was good, the weight of it good and light. A one hand long sword with the stats of five hundred eight to six hundred offense, weight of a hundred and fifty, durability a thousand. Equip added—

"Merlin!" Her friend called and she looked behind, a questioning look on her face as she stopped looking for swords.

"Oh," She recognized the face of the person who called her, her mouth agape, "Asuna, Kirito, how are you?"

Asuna grinned at her as Kirito scratched the back of his head, "You know, after all this month I've known you, you're still the same sword maniac."

She rolled her eyes.

"Good God, Asuna." She smiled, "My Excalibur is an amazing sword. I assure you,"

She smiled, opening her character menu and grabbing her green and white sword before pulling it out, showing it to the two.

"I won't replace him."

They rolled their eyes and she chuckled.

Of course, it wasn't the legendary sword item, Excalibur. It was just a simple sword who she called Excalibur.

The sword that she trusted her whole life with.

Life.

Her eyes flickered to the side of her head, reading the floating words with green bar.

This was her life.

Even if death was on their shoulders, they still have the time to goof off.

This game was supposed to be for fun, for shits and giggles, for an escape from the real world but then, they were trapped inside this game.

Where they could die in a single mistake.

This death game that killed thousands of players, this is SAO.

Sword Art Online.

A game that was released months ago that flooded the whole internet for its massive success. She was a beta-player for the game and she really did enjoyed it.
