So since SAO was a pretty good success while it lasted, and I wanted to do this again, I'm continuing onto Alfheim Online, Sword Art Online's successor. (If you want an anime reference of how to act search for Sword Art Online and head to about 14-15.)

.: The Story :.

The game had been cleared. Sword Art Online was done with. The last group of Steel, Maya, Solar, Ivy, Digi, the two Flamings, Storm, Wind and Ace were left in the dust of the other players. Their Virtual Reality helmets - The NerveGear - sent out a powerful electrical pulse throughout their bodies, as was the punishment for dying within the game.They were all deleted from existance in both realities, much to the grief of their families in the real world and their online friends. They all had lost their lives in an ambush on the 92nd floor, like adding salt to the wound of being so close to simply be defeated. The final boss of the game was defeated 10 minutes later by a stronger group of only 3 players. The loud notification blared over Aincrad. "As of 3rd of December, 2024, Sword Art Online has been cleared. The Log-Out button has been re-added to your menus. You may now log out." Almost instantly, everypony logged out, and returned to their lives as it once was after some rehabilitation after being stuck in the game for such a long time.

Well, they returned until its successor Alfheim moved in. Nervegears were recalibrated as this new, unbroken version of SAO was spread around the lands and skies. The VR helmets almost all turned on simulataneously as Alfheim was set as an update to those with Sword Art Online, and a full new game for those who didn't. This was set in a more fantasy-like world. Elves, Pixies, flying without wings or using magic without a horn, and best of all; a log-out button, which the last game had made a challenge out of; clear the game, and you get to go back to real life. Lose the game, and you die. Really and in the game. Weapons were given a new level system, each level upgrading the effect of the weapon and regularly allowing new skills to be used, like a rapid strike or healing.The game was flocked to, players from all over Equestria rejoicing to see that there was no catch, this was simply a game. Players were allowed to choose from four classes of avatar along with a specific magic-type; the fire-type Pyrrhon, the nature-type Leasona, the dark/illusion-types the Spriggans and the water-type Hydroten. The Pyrrhon's fire magic was brutal even from the start, but they had very low health (normally capping out at the start at 40 HP) and defense to compensate, making it a popular class for challenge takers. The Leasona's natural magic makes them very good healers as they are taught Heal from a low level. They have medium-high health (roughly 80HP from the start) and average defense and attack. The Spriggans use Illusion magic, allowing them to become like theives, hiding themselves away in the shadows. They can change their shapes with the Changeling skill, but only for 5 minutes at a time, or one fight. The Spriggans have roughly 50HP from the start of the game, but high attack and low defense, making them very useful as a sniper with a bow. The Hydroten use water-type magic which can be as painful as a bullet to the head when moved fast enough. Unlike other classes, they do not have a special skill, instead serving as the all-round character with average health (60HP) average attack and defense. All MP is limited at 500, so Heal can't be abused without use of a Mana potion for example. Each class had their own kingdoms in the North (Pyrrhon) East (Leasona) South (Spriggan) and West (Hydroten) along with an allied friendly territory in the middle, the town of Alerei.

Each magic type has its weakness and strength to another class. Fire-types are weak to water and strong to nature. Illusion is strong to fire and weak to nature. Nature is weak to fire and strong to illusion. Water is strong to fire and weak to Nature. However, combat is not all the classes are for. Hydroten classes are more successful in boating and fishing. Pyrrhons are good with blacksmithing and fire-building. Leasonas are good with wooden craftsmanship and navigation. Spriggans are useful in scavenging and theivery, leading them to become the popular class for the players who want to be the bad guy.

The main goal of the game was similar to the first game's; climb up a tower of dungeons and get a reward, but this had a twist. The tower was a tree of only 50 stories, but at the top stood a gauntlet of challenges, one after another with no healing time. Whatever you did, you did in battle. It was tough, but the reward was being shifted to a new class of player, the Aesun. These elves had no flight time limit, allowing the player to free as if they were pegasi. Which, for the actual Pegasi who were being forced to play with a limit, seemed pointless. Aesun had no health limit and their stats were all-around boosted to their caps of 2,500,00 EXP. The other reward was being offered the hoof of a prince or princess (Or both, if that's what suited the player.) The game had begun, and they had a royal reward to look forward to.

.: The Characters :.

Ingame Characters

Tiberon:
Ruler of Alfheim. He is set as a Aesun Alicorn as a show of his importance in the game. He is the one who will offer you the prince or princess' hoof at the endgame and raise you to the Aesun class.

Titania:
Alfheim's princess. She is a kindhearted soul but she knows when to retaliate or attack. She weilds a deathly saber that she can use to a pinpoint's accurary.

Dovanii:
Alfheim's prince. He's a little agressive and he doesn't trust easily, but he knows who he can be friendly with at first sight. Oftenly, nopony. He uses a mage's staff with the White Magic set.

((Just from looking at this, I think it might be better to describe the weapons, classes, and avatars, a bit better, as well as the limitations on each of these. Also might not hurt to describe the game itself a bit more. I didn't follow the previous one so I don't know anything about this one either. I have no idea what the difference is between a level 6 wooden staff and a level 999 staff, or what difference having nature magic against water magic, etc. has in combat or outside of combat))

Summer took a deep breath as her NerveGear recalibrated itself to her. In a commanding voice, she said "Link Start!" which activated the game. It took exactly 5 seconds to reach the Character Customisation stage. She entered a name for her virtual self - Ancali - and set her player model to F, or Female. She came to the 4 classes, and chose Leasona, the Nature types. The game generated a colour scheme for her - Forest Green coat and flowing Black hair - and she was launched into the world of Alfheim. She took her first breath of the Virtual air, sighing blissfully. She was in the game, starting with nothing but 1000 Bits, which would be barely enough to choose a starter weapon at the market. She sighed and opened her menu with a flick of the hoof, finding the map. She started walking East, towards the markets.

Hunter put on his head The NevreGear, he said with a cold voice "Link Start". He reached the Character Custamistaion page, and entered a name, Darkfang, set his player to Male and chose Spriggan, since that type identifed more with him. The game crated a color for him, Shadowy gray mane and dark purple clothes. He entered the game, with only 1000 bits. And walked towards the markets.

Ancali walked quickly, but only to get out of the mass of players spawning in from the game's release. Once she was in the side-streets she slowed down, checking behind her, and smiling that there was barely anypony there, although there did seem to be a Spriggan player following her to the markets. "Great minds think alike, it seems." she mused to herself before turning her head back in front of her, entering the Market area of Alerei. There were shops for everything; swords, bows, arrows, staves, potions, you name it, it was probably there somewhere. She took a liking to a wooden staff that fit her budget and headed over to its stall.

Ancali smiled at the shopkeeper as she bought the staff, leaving her with roughly 150 bits left. There was no colour customisation option for this, so the dull brown was the only colour in her hooves. Not that she minded, of course. It was a rich oak staff, making it a dark brown with streaks of lighter beige-brown which made some very beautiful designs in the side. It looked amazing, for saying that it was supposed to be a starter item. She checked her skills menu, but was dissapointed to find none. Maybe the Leasona class didn't have any to begin with? She looked around again, only to see the Spriggan who had been following her buying a vicious-looking Black blade. She noted not to get on his bad hoof, at least until she knew what she was doing.

Darkfang looked at a Leasona player, and searched in the markets if there was something else he could buy, and found a cheap looking cape, he buyed it, and putting it on, leaving him with roughly 60 bits, he then walked back south to his kingdom, just staring back to the Leasona player.

Ancali decided to ignore the player for now. It didn't seem like they needed anything from each other. She checked her map again and looked over towards the East, which was over the other side of the town. She cursed under her breath that she would have to go back through the players at the start... Unless she went to another point first. She started following the Spriggan to the South, heading towards the gate nearby that released them that way.

Nick happily put on his nevregear and said in a calm voice "link start." And the character customization menu came up. He put in: name scorch, gender m (male), class pyrrhon. He had a red coat, a red mane, and a red cloak in the game, opening the map he said, "so I need to go north."

She jumped back slightly at the harsh tone of Darkfang's voice. "I-I'm not. It's just easier to go this way then to the East instead of fighting through the new players. Well, new-er than us." She smiled sheepishly.

Ancali grinned to herself. She equipped her staff and tried an attack. Instead of whacking the goblins she instead tapped the end onto the ground, creating a glowing circle around her. Her lips moved automatically, as if she had done this a thousand times. "Tintila, kemen!" The ground beneath the goblin she had in her targets rumbled, and suddenly opened. 3 large razor-sharp roots shot out of the ground, impaling the goblin and finishing it. It didn't take long for her to level up with this strategy.

"Grinding? Do you mean literally grinding them between the roots or farming them for EXP?" She asked him confusedly. She could feel an enemy getting a little too close for comfort to her flank, and span around to hit it with a satisfying crack.

"On it!" She cast the Root spell again to clear off the sneaker, then attempted to follow where it spawned from. Roughly 5 metres away in a dark cave was a slow and steady string of goblins. That had to be their spawn point. She cast the spell one more time, letting the goblins walk into the spikes as they left the cave. She managed to gain two levels before her mana ran out, leaving her to run over to the cave and melee the rest.

She smiled back almost confidently as Darkfang's name and health bar appeared below hers on the top left. She went back to attacking. About 10 minutes later she became tired, almost dropping her staff. "Whew, I'm done for. We've gained a good few levels and quite a lot of Bits." She checked her menu. "6400 to be exact. I'm now at 6550, so that should be enough to get a good place for the night, maybe get a new skill set." She looked up from sitting on the floor and grinned weakly at him.

Ancali followed along silently as he directed her to the hotel. She noticed a few dirty looks she received from players who most likely wanted players to stay in their own kingdoms. She kept her staff on her back though. Once they had both been assigned a room in the lodgings, she felt that she needed to repay Darkfang. She bowed her head slightly and said "Thanks for doing this for me, Dark. It's a very nice thing of you to do for somepony you just met."

Ancali could feel herself blushing slightly at that comment. She pressed "Yes" on the friend request, smiling at him. She glanced out the window and saw that they were just in time; the sun was starting to set and the night mobs would soon be spawning. She turned her head back to Dark and grinned at him. "Again, thank you. And Good Night." she used the Key item on her door and entered, looking back at Dark one more time. She was about to close her door when a flash of mischeif struck and she winked at him. Once the door was closed she removed her armours and weaponry, flopped down on the bed and fell asleep almost instantly.

Ancali dreamt that she was using the game's flight systems, and was soaring free over the expansive fields of the East. It looked beautiful, compared to the dull city's tones. Flowers bloomed all over the place, making long and colourful patterns in the fields. Peaceful mobs wandered free in the grass while the hostiles were confined to the dark forests nearby. She didn't feel at all tired, as if she could fly forever like an Aesun. The sky shone brightly and the clouds floated by quietly. The dream was suddenly interrupted by the ground ripping open and sharp roots jutted out, like a very powerful version of her Root spell. She narrowly avoided the first few, but was caught through the chest. She fell to the ground, her virtual wings dissolving. She hit the ground with a loud thump.

She awoke with a start. It was still dark but she couldn't get back to sleep after that. It was either just a nightmare or the game had let her predict how she would die. She got out of the covers and stood on the ground, swaying slightly as her balance recalculated. She re-equipped her armour but left her staff, going to the end of the hallway and leaning on the banister to try and get some fresher air.

He always wanted to play one of the new VRMMO's, but he couldn't get SAO in time. Though he was really thankful for that. He was hesitant to get ALO, because he didn't want to get stuck like the unfortunate ones who got SAO.
After he heard that it was safe, he started up his own copy. He could deal with being a bit behind from everyone else.

He made it home, put on his AmuSphere, then quickly entered the game. In the character selection screen, he saw the multiple races, and looked for the one that had to deal with water. Ah, the Hydroten, those were the ones.
Being a unicorn, he chose to be a mage, because after all, Water magic was his talent in the real world, so why not here? The name he gave himself seemed kind of dumb to him, and a bit arrogant, but he stuck with it. His name here would be Delta. The game made his character have a pastel blue coat, with a deep blue mane.

Delta landed in the starting village easy enough. It was simply breathtaking, and shockingly realistic. After finishing the tutorial he was given, he made his way to the weapon store. There were quite a few choices of staves there, depending on how you wanted to play your character. Delta took the one he thought was the most fitting: A silver staff. It wasn't the highest level that he could afford, but it was designed for Offensive Water Magic, because of the sapphire at the top of the staff.
After making sure he knew how to equip, and unequip the staff, he went out to find the nearest source of water. He wanted to see if the magic here worked anything like in real life, though he doubted that. That would make the game too easy.

Darkfang checked how many players were, Some of them didn't seem very important, but one name caught his atention: Delta. He looked out the window, and went back to sleep.

Ancali took in some deep breaths of the night air. It seemed calmer somehow, despite the crazier mobs spawning at this time. Even from the south town she could see the World Tree in the exact centre of the game. There were a few ponies flying around it with virtually-supported wings. She couldn't wait to try them out tomorrow. She would do it now, jump off the balcony and fly with the stars, but the thing was that she didn't quite know how to fly yet. She was an Earth Pony in the real world, so she had always wanted to try out flight. At least the unicorns could use levitation magic, those lucky... She shook her head to clear her mindset, only to see a new Hydroten player exploring the fields. He seemed to be heading towards the river and lake near Spriggan territory. "Figures." she muttered to herself. "Trust a hydroten to go straight for water. This could be worth a laugh." She kept watching the player to see what would happen.

Spoiler

When Delta reached the water, he tried using his natural magic to lift the water up, but no luck there, as expected. He couldn't just cheat his way into being a mage.
He still wanted to test out what his character could do, and brought out his little tutorial book.
"The Hydroten, or known originally as the Undine, are a very lightweight race, and as such have the Undines are capable of using the skill Wall Run, that, as the name suggests, allows them to temporarily run on walls. The normal limit is a distance of ten meters but those with an extremely high sprinting speed are known to be able to run for about thirty meters.
Also, due to their affinity with water, Undines are expert in underwater combat. This makes them valuable assets when faced with water-type monsters."
He laughed; this he could do. Without caring about anyone else near him, he took off his cloak, and jumped right into the water. Surprisingly enough, he could still breathe underwater.. 'Oh wait,' he realized, as he saw the air bar at the top of his HUD. However, it was going down very slowly, to his ultimate pleasure. He figured he would just stay down here for a bit.

Ancali expected Delta to resurface after a short while, but when he went beyond that she started getting worried for the player. She found the safest but fastest way down and sped over to the lake, hooves kicking up enough dirt to create a hill. It was only when she got to the water's edge and was halfway into diving she realised that the Hydroten had extended underwater breathing. She splashed roughly into the water, and quickly got out, shivering from the sudden cold.

Delta was in the water, waiting for his friend to come online. His train of thought was interrupted when another pony entered the water, albeit briefly. He decided that he should get out anyways. He swam up to the surface to talk to the pony that walked in.
"Hello there, My name is Delta. How are you doing?" He said, with the cool of the water feeling very refreshing.

"I have to head back to town now, my friend will be expecting me. It was nice meeting you two." Delta replied, as he started walking back to town. He dried himself off, and put his robe back on, then walked into town. He took a seat nearby the point he started at. Now all he had to do was wait.

Django was finally ready to get into the game. His friend told him about this new Virtual Reality game, Alfheim Online.

He quickly got logged in, and viewed the character creation screen. He made his character a Hydroten, because they seemed the most useful to his skills. Mage, an obvious choice, he clicked it without a second thought. On the name select screen, he was quite puzzled on what to pick, he wanted to choose a name that was relevant to his character's race, but not something silly sounding. He eventually landed on Rivulet, a simple water relating name.

After a little while, he landed in the first town. His friend told him that he would be waiting in the first town. Rivulet wanted to go straight for him, but he felt it better to finish the tutorial so he can catch his bearings. He equipped his gear, a simple robe and hat. He then looked to his armor, a simple silver staff, you could have asked for something better, but you won't complain. After spending a few moments getting ready, Rivulet went to scout out his partner.

Ancali was too cold to say anything properly. Her words came out jittery. "T-that'd be h-helpf-ful. Thanks D-dark..." She huddled up closer to herself to try and keep warmer than she already was. She was regretting not getting to know a Pyrrhon, they could've warmed her up in a flash. Not that she wasn't thankful for the company she had already. Dark had kept her well for the short amount of time he'd known her.

Ancali tensed up from the hug. She found herself positioning her hooves to hug him back but she didn't stop herself. It'd just let her be warmer, at least. She could feel her face being warmed already, unless that was a blush.

Delta was getting bored, and was just about to start looking into fishing, when his friend finally made it to the starting town. He ran up to him, grinning ear to ear, and hugged him.
"It took you long enough to get here. My name here is Delta. Let me send you a party invite." Delta said, while bringing up the party menu.
"I see you also picked mage. This will be very interesting."

Delta looked over to Rivulet, and said "Alright. We seem to both have a simple water spell currently. I was originally going to go check out some of the occupation skills, but sure, training sounds like fun."
He opened up his menu, and brought up the world map
"We need to go west to get to our race's home town. We can train on the way there." Delta continued as he started walking. "It's a long road ahead to get there, though I believe there should be an easier way to get there....." 

Delta opened up his tutorial book again, and scrolled down to the flight section.

The flight system consists on player's own ability, it has a "controlled flight" mode in which the players make use of a controller to flight at the cost of just being able to use one hoof to fight, but with enough experience and ability the player is able to do "voluntary flight" and with it it can use it's two hooves while flying and gains more maneuverability and speed.

After reading that, he started thinking about the "Voluntary Flight". 'Maybe it meant flying like you had the wings?' He thought. That would certainly be unfair for non-winged ponies, like himself. He tried to imagine what having wings would feel like, and with a bit of effort, the wings popped up. He tried to make them flap, and he managed to get up about a foot, lost control, and fell onto the floor.

He looked up at Rivulet, and started laughing. "I guess you should know, you can fly without a controller, but it is NOT easy." He brought out the flight controller, and tried to fly. It was a lot easier, but as it said, he was slower, though the whole single hoof didn't really affect him, seeing as he used the magic for both the controller, and his staff.

"We won't get anywhere just standing there! We need to get going or else we'll end up not doing anything." He said, while starting to ascend. With the wings being out, he tried to feel them, and imagine how actually flying with them would be. It wasn't number one on his to-do list to learn, but getting the hang of Voluntary Flight would be nice.

"For you, yes. Maybe it'd get us a little further quicker if we tried out the flight." She imagined the wings materialising from her back, which the game recognised and simulated. She gave them a test flap before getting a little flight practice.

Rivulet didn't believe his friend when he said flying without the controller was hard. He sprouted a set of wings, and was raised off the ground for a matter of seconds then fell.

He quickly accepted defeat, and summoned the flight controller. "Let's get going! I don't want to be completely under leveled."

After saying those words, he flew into the sky, and caught up with his friend.
