Sword Art Online: Blades of Aincrad

Chapter 3: Beaters Rising

Yo guys! Here's your next update! Thank you all for reviewing! Now, on to the story!

XXXXXX

It's been one month since the game began, during that time, two thousand people have died. But, no one has yet been able to clear the first floor. Even we, as beta testers, haven't found the first floor boss room. And today, a meeting was finally held a meeting on how to defeat the first floor boss.

(Opening Theme)

Floor 1: Meeting place

"Okay, let's get started people!" A man yell out in a stage like place. The meeting place are like a theater place, with row of seats circling a stage like place in the middle.

Kirito and Shiki were now sitting down, the two of them were still wearing their usual clothes with an iron breast-plate.

"Thank you for coming today." A blue hair person said gratefully, he wore a blue shirt with white lining and a brown iron armor. "My name is Diabel, I like to consider my 'job' as knight."

Everyone who attended all laughed at that Diabel's words.

"There's no job system in this game!"

"Then is this meeting a joke too?"

"You should take this seriously!"

Diabel tried to calm the crowd down, but it was no use, he sighed and changed his expression into a serious one. "Today." He began, finally silencing everyone. "Our party found the boss room at the top of the tower." Now that gained their attention. "We need to defeat the boss to reach the second floor, and tell everyone in the town of beginnings, that it is possible to beat this game! Everyone present here share this duty! Don't you all agree?"

Everyone started to nod at each other, and one by one they all begin to clap their hands. Shiki and Kirito smiled as they looked on.

"Alright, then let us begin our planning. First, divide into a party of six, an ordinary party stands no chance against a boss, we need to form a raid groups using multiple parties."

Kirito sighed in relief, glad that he had at least one friend in this meeting, seeing as he doesn't really have many. Same could be said for his red-head companion.

"Hey Kirito." Shiki called. "Look, that person is alone." He said as he pointed towards a red hooded character left of Kirito. "Let's ask that person to join us."

Kirito nodded, knowing the pain of being left out. The two of them stood up, and walked towards the figure and sat down near the person.

"Hey, you got left out?" Kirito asked.

"I wasn't left out." The person said with a melodious female voice. "I just stay out of it because everyone seemed to know each other already."

"A solo player?" Kirito asked. "Then, wanna form a party with us?" The hooded girl looked at the two boys.

"That Dia guy said we can't beat the boss on out own." Shiki added in. "So, at least just for this fight, yea?"

The person seemed to think about it, before nodding. Shiki grinned brightly at that, before he nodded to Kirito, who nodded back before opening his menu to send the invite.

Kirito invited you to his party. Will you accept?

Confirm/Decline

The hooded girl clicked on the confirm button, allowing the two males to see her life bar underneath theirs.
