Why? Just why was he back again, in this world, in this country, when all he had ever wanted for a very long time was just to either right his past wrongs, or to just disappear completely as he couldn’t take it anymore... The loss, and despair... After loosing everything that was precious to him, he became an empty shell of his past self, becoming a bitter old man in his tireless quest for revenge against that Hitogami... Doing unspeakable things, degrading himself as a human being... He fiercely hated that Entity that called itself a god and for a good reason. It not only took away his precious people one by one, it also took away his integrity.. But despite all that, he didn’t fall till the end... Despite everything, he survived as he clinged to his desire for revenge, and after a long time of research, he finally founded a way to go back, only to be proven dead wrong as he met his end in the arms of his younger self... But that was not the end, it seems even for a sinful man such as himself, a third chance was given. This is a story about a hero, a hero forsaken by all, now embarking on a new journey, alone again, or not? ***** Prologue *****     “Ah! Ah! Ah!” A repeated high-pitched voices of a female echoing around the empty classroom, along with the sounds of bodies smacking... Empty in the sense that there was only two people that were present. The owner of the voice was a partially naked female student who was being taken from the back as the black haired boy her age increased the pace of his repeated thrusts. “Ugh, I’m about to cum...” “Ohh! Yes, cum in me! Ah~” As the male finished depositing his load inside the orgasming female, he quickly pulled his penis out of his partner’s vagina as he breathed out, as he playfully smacked her butt, beforesoftly placing her limp body on the teacher’s desk which stood right beside them. “You were hot!”/ “Ahh” ”Haha, so were you! I’ve never known sex could be so... My god~ If I had known...” She shook her head as she went on, looking at his stoic face, “You’re so much better than my boyfriend! I didn’t know that a dick could be so... Just where did you learn how to do that?” “Do what?” Asked the boy as he zipped his school pants, not even looking at her direction. “The thing that you did with your hips! The way you touched all my weak spots, it’s as if you have quite a lot experience...” “You might say that...” “Oh! Then I am not your first?” After a few moments of taking it all in, she let out, “Heee? But you look so cute! How...” While she was in the middle of her speech, the boy interrupted her, looking at his watch. “Ah, sorry Chinami-san, I have to go. There was this game that I bought, it’s MMORPG and starts in about an hour. So, bye for now~” He said, leaving the girl alone in the classroom as he hurried for his bicycle parked on it’s usual place. As he rode his way home, he enthusiasticly let out, ”That’s the 34’th... 66 to go!” The boy on his bicycle adding to his latest list of conquests with the opposite sex was one Kirigaya Kazuto, though only he knows that in fact it is not true as he is none other than Rudeus Greyrat, reincarnated to his original world as a boy to a slightly above average family in Japan...   ***** A beautiful girl... *****     After I parked my bicycle in front of the building, I put on the safety lock before heading for the entrance to my apartment which had become familiar to me in the last fourteen years of my reincarnated life as my new home... [Fourteen years... Just how did I even survive without magic that long?] I shook my head, letting out a depreciating snort as I briefly looked at the setting sun which had painted my surroundings in a warm hue of red. “Hah,” [I remember asking the same question right after I got reincarnated in that world, only then it was about the internet... I guess people really do get used to anything...] After arriving in front of my door, I placed the key that was previously inside my pocket on the lock and turned it clockwise, opening the door to the flat, [Home sweet home...] As the familiar view of the entrance of the house that I had been living for the last 14 years attacked my sight, a relatively surprised female voice belonging to none other than my own little sister in this world ringed in my ears, “Onii-chan!? O-okairinasai.” The black haired girl let out, it was obvious from her tone of voice that she wasn’t expecting to encounter her own brother right when she was about to leave for her Kendo lessons. Not to mention the awkwardness of our relationship lately... “Sugu...” Sugu, my sister in this world... The only one I remotely cared about nowadays ... Despite this, I had distanced myself from her, knowing that I couldn’t hold myself from making a move on her... Even though she should be my sister, I just couldn’t take my eyes off from those bountiful breasts whenever I interacted with her, now was not an exception even though I had just been banging some random girl I had seduced in the school. [I wonder what she would think if she had known that her brother was... I really am a pervert...] “Onii-chan?” She asked, in her naivety, not noticing me staring intently at her breasts... Waking up from my momentary distraction, I quickly replied, “Hai, tadaima.”(Yes, I’m home) After a period of awkward silence between us, she weakly said, ”Then, I’m going for practice, s-seeya!” After the door closed behind my back, I let out a tired sigh and could only let out the words, ”Sorry, Sugu...” before going upstairs to put on the nerve gear as it was almost the time when the game launched, not knowing that it was the last time that I will see her ever again... ===============================================================================     Why am I not feeling anything? Sadness, anger or even happiness... Even though I just learned that I am trapped inside this game... Is it because I’m not afraid of dying as a result of reincarnating for the second time?  No, that’s not it, it must be because of that, yes, it’s because I just don’t give a shit. Whether I die or not, doesn’t make any difference for an empty soul like me... Me who has lost everything... I stood inside the vast courtyard, my back to a wall in a corner as I watched the many players hurrying in panic, few of them were on the ground, it was obvious they didn’t take the news very well... As I was about to leave as well to speed-grind for levels thanks to my beta experience, a silhouette in the left corner of my vision got my attention. It was a girl... Not just any girl, no. It wouldn’t be too farfetched for me to say that she was the most beautiful girl that I’ve ever laid my eyes on, this coming from someone who had been together with quite a number of elves in his adulthood which were considered the most beautiful race... Even though her beauty, especially her elvish features were a feast to mh eyes, it had nothing to do with why she was sparkling this much... Her posture, her expressions and the way she silently expressed her shock and despair, from a distorted point of view, was poetic indeed.  Hell, I was quite desensitized towards such things due to intermingling with elves and beastwomen in so many ways back in my days of being a bachelor, after loosing them...   But most of all, what got my attention were the feelings that she had ignited within me which had been missing for quite a while... Just why was I feeling like this know of all times? Was this a feature of fulldive? But can fulldive do this? No it most definitely can not! I’ve been quite interested in the concept of VR for some time... Especially the prospects of recreating my deceased family inside it was really tempting, so I had been reading and studying Kayaba’s lectures online for a while... So I am quite confident when I say that it should have been impossible for the nervegear to have an effect such as it presumably did know... Shaking my head to dispel any useless thoughts, I confidently strided for the direction of the girl in question who had such an impact on me, even though I’m not even sure how I should start the conversation, or why should I in the first place...   ***** A Helping Hand *****   “This can’t be happening... This has to be a dream... A very terrible one, it has to be...” the crying girl fell onto her knees, hugging herself as she did everything that she could to protect her sanity, by trying to deny what had just occurred... Her eyes were still stuck pointing where the massive imposing form of the game master previously occupied. “Yes, it’s just a dream, soon I will wake up as always, then have a nice bath and go to school and study for the exams, or my mom will get angry. Yes, I need to wake up...” She repeated that catchphrase as her wet eyes became more unfocused by the second. She didn’t know how much time went by in her breaking state when she felt a hand on her shoulder. It didn’t spook her one bit as she was too concerned by other things to be creeped out of a random human contact. In fact, let alone being scared, the contact felt peculiarly warm... She slowly turned her head to her right only to see the soft feminine features of a boy who she involuntarily guessed in that instance was younger than her. “Hey,” What stroke a cord within her was not his androgynous beauty, nor was it his boyish voice that was like a song to her ears, but his smile... For some strange reason, she felt stronger after looking at those eyes... Just who was this boy? Even though she was curious, but only for a brief moment as she replied emotionlessly “Leave me alone...” She curtly uttered out without thinking, drawing her eyes away from the boy. Hearing the neutral but somehow forceful words from the girl, the boy gave no reply as he just stood there for a few moments, then shaking his head, he left for the nearest entrance to his left, not before leaving his final words for the girl, ”Don’t you die...” ===============================================================================     One Month Later...   As she was falling to the dungeon floor due to an invisible paralyzing attack, a prosaic thought drifted through her mind. ‘How is it possible to faint in a virtual space?’ Loss of consciousness meant the brain's normal blood flow was momentarily delayed, and its functions stopped. The reason for this ischemia could be a malfunction in the heart or blood vessels, anemia or low blood pressure, hyperventilation or many other reasons; but while FullDiving in a VR world, the physical body is resting on a bed or reclining chair. Furthermore, the physical bodies of the players imprisoned by this death game «SAO» were probably currently placed in a hospital; their health would obviously be checked and continuously monitored, and if necessary, even medicine would be administered. It's hard to believe that loss of consciousness would be due to some physical abnormality—. After she thought that far within her fading consciousness, at the end she thought, 'That kind of thing doesn’t matter.' “Yes, nothing matters to me anymore...” “Because, she will die here. Fainting in a dungeon full of violent monsters, there was no way she would be unharmed. There was another player nearby, but she did not think he would go so far as to endanger his life to help another who had fallen. Anyway, how could he help? In this world, the maximum weight a single player can carry is strictly limited by the system. In the depths of a dungeon, everyone carries medicine and extra equipment to their weight limit, leaving space for monster drops such as gold and items. With all those combined, the act of carrying a whole person is absolutely impossible. Upon thinking to this point, she finally realized something. What she thought as she was hit by a strong sense of dizziness and she fell to the ground was, 'Finally, I can relax without thinking for a long time'. The hard stone floor of the dungeon was what should have been under her body, but somehow, the feeling against her back was curiously soft and fluffy. Her body felt warm, and a light breeze caressed her cheek… After she opened her eyes, she realised that she was no longer inside the dungeon lined by thick walls as her sight was bombarded by the strong sunlight. She was in a clearing in a forest, surrounded by old trees covered in golden moss and thorny brushes with small flowers. At the center of a round space of about 7 or 8 meters in diameter, she seemed to have been lying on a soft carpet of grass while unconscious…no, asleep. But—why? How had she, who had fallen in the depths of the dungeon, been moved to this far away field? The answer to that question was found when she turned her view 90 degrees to the right. At the edge of the clearing, there was a grey silhouette crouching over the root of a particularly majestic tree. He held a somewhat large one-handed sword both arms, and its sheath was propped up under his lowered head. Long black hair covered his face so that it couldn't be seen, but judging from his equipment and physique, there was no mistaking that he was the male player who had spoken with her before she fainted in the dungeon, in fact, the very same who had been the only one to try to talk with her right after she had learned of the terrible truth... But anyway, most likely, that man had used some kind of method to move her out of the dungeon to this forest after she had fallen. She quickly looked past the grove of trees forest in the background. On the left side, about 100 meters away, a huge tower reaching up to the sky — the First Floor Labyrinth of Aincrad stood towering above there in deep black. She returned her gaze to her right again. Sensing her movement, the man's dark-grey leather coat covered shoulders shook and he lifted his head slightly. Even in the bright midday forest, the man's two eyes were black, like a starless night. The moment her eyes met his dark-colored eyes, she felt small fireworks exploding in her head. From between her grinding teeth, Asuna — Yuuki Asuna, forced out a low, hoarse voice.
