Khayri is your average 16 year old video game nerd. She participated in the beta test of Sword Art Online. The official launch of the game is today November 6, 2022. She can't wait to get back to the game she loved so much. She meets up with her old friend, Akira. They spend some time together until a person from Akira's past comes to ruin their fun. What will happen to the two of them? Only time will tell. I do not own Sword Art Online or any of it's scenes, characters or dialogue. This is simply a fan made story to show how much I love SAO :)

Haruko Kurosawa is not exactly noticeable. Her father was a drug addict who left Tokyo to deal with his problems, then came back and divorced her mother when she was eight. Her friends at school seem preoccupied, and once people see the real her, it seems like they clear out. Not in this world. Haruko's only escape seems to be gaming. In the MMORPG world, no one knows the real her. And the newest addition to her collection, "Sword Art Online," is sure to be the best of them all. Or so she thinks.
