Status Online: Chapter 3: Blood Sky

Masterlist

---------------------------------------------------------

AINCRAD

FLOOR 1

---------------------------------------------------------

Red Valkyrie appeared in the [Town of Beginnings]. The noise of the excited players and NCPs alike chatting for a quest, making purchases, hanging around with their friends, and examine stuff around the corners.

This is the exact place, the exact town where she and the golden bird flew by. Like before, she can feel and sense things in the game such as those kids bumping on her while they are playing. The scent of fresh bread and pastries in the bakery, Also the pounding of hard molten iron hammered and shaped by the blacksmith in the area. “To sense but not to feel pain? How strange.”

There is that gigantic blue spire that is the center point of the plaza. This must be the main teleport of the 1st floor. For now, Marinette Red Valkyrie knows about the basics. Inspecting her inventory, she found only containing a tutorial manual and a 10,000 Cor* (The Game’s currency) on her account. Reading the whole tutorial book, she also unlocked her option to look at the map and messenger’s box.

----------------------

[Success!]

[ACHIEVEMENT: BASIC MAPPING]

(You learned the basics to read the map! The map shows your location and the locations of quests, shops, and tagged items for easy navigation. To open the map, activate the map setting in the main menu and a mini-map will appear at the left corner of your vision while you are exploring. A full map of Aincrad will be accessed by activating the mini-map.)

----------------------

[Success!]

[ACHIEVEMENT: MAILING SYSTEM]

(You learn to send messages by the mailing system. Connect to other players as a means of communication no matter how far the distance between)

----------------------

The next thing she needs is a weapon. Mar Red Valkyrie usually used guns and knives in other games. But since it is based on a Medieval Fantasy the weapons available are about Physical damage output like swords, polearms, bows, clubs, daggers, axes, and war hammers. Although Red Valkyrie likes long-ranged weapons, using a bow in a close-range battle is difficult and energy taxing. If only there is a weapon that can be utilized in numerous ways, she was accustomed to grappling, shield, and attack like her yoyo as Ladybug. She will keep in mind different attack strategies of different weapons that are most efficient to her playstyle.

To get more ideas, Red Valkyrie used her map to guide her to the [Adventurer’s Barracks]. They display lots of weapons and playstyles for beginners to choose from and have their strength and skills tested. That is where she is heading to. She marched her way with confidence and eyes wandering around the place to her destination. She is cautious about the fact that many heads turned her way, but she brushed the thought when she realizes that her avatar is unique compare to others.

She is glad to pick up the game from that poor fellow player, no wonder did he beg for his wife to reconsider. ‘Poor guy if he just sold the Nerve Gear and Console, I won’t give a second thought to bought from him twice or trice the original price.’ She thought. Her Designing career to her newly revived fashion design house addition to her occasional steaming and gaming events, she is considering to a bachelorette in the industry. Although that came out of a conclusion because she spends most of her time organizing charity work with other millionaires like the Wayne, Queen, Luthor, etc. to have Paris back in shape, it's just one time.

Anyway. When she arrives at the place, there are also a lot of people in there trying out. They mostly carry swords, polearms, and axes attacking the armored dummies that scatter around the place. Some of them carry throwing knives, polearms, and bows though they attack the haybales as archer targets. “Ohhhh~ so many weapons!” Valkyrie hummed in contemplation.

‘Come to think of it. [Bows] are the only long distant weapons in the early game. Other than throwing daggers, having a bow user that can snipe out opponents in the field to get [Experience points] before mobs attack the short distance players. Val thought as she peered at the archer players. Out of all the weapon types, archers can get 10 meters and more in terms of the range of attack. Perfect for supports at a party.

‘Hmmm. If I use a [Spear], I could be able to use it to attack by stabbing or sweeping in a mid-range. I can also evade an attack and hook someone on their feet to stumble and get them stunned.’ Valkyrie thought while viewing the polearm users in both the dummies and archer targets. ‘Also throwing the polearm like a javelin can also make damage to those mobs though not as far as an archer, but with a trajectory practice, they are deadly as a one-hit kill. It’s also a bonus that a buckler/shield can be used in the opposite arm as extra protection

One-handed swords came to her view. ‘There are many types of the sword too. [Katana], [ Shamshir], [Saber], [Epee], [Broadsword] and many more. Depending on the sword user’s preference, strategies, and skill, from a [Beginner’s sword type] be a either a [Short Sword] or [Curved Sword] identified with the Cardinal system to those specific types of swords. Mostly a lot of players gonna use it first for its flexibility.’. ‘[Clubs] on the other hand are rather blunt when it comes to attacking, I wonder how are they gonna wield it?’

In addition to those kinds of swords, Bigger ones that need two hands are features in the game. ‘[Two Handed Swords]. They might be slow and be greedy on stamina, but once hit they really pack a punch and probably cause AOE damage just like the 2-H [Axes].’ Valkyrie thought as she watched a man who swings his two-handed Sword decimating four wooden targets in a single stroke. ‘[Warhammers] can make the same thing but it’s rather by brute force than slashing and probably stunning the mob’s movement too.’

After analyzing the barracks, Valkyrie then moves out of the area and into the Weapons Merchant. The display shows off the weapons of different calibers and specialties. But Val does not need a permanent weapon now. She can always experiment with different weapons till she gets the one she is suited to most. The light shine on the displays and the walls are full of weapons of interesting designs. There are a couple of players in there but she pays no attention to them. Val directly went to each weaponry. ‘Can I have a weapon proficiency to all weapons? No that’s a bit much, especially when some weapons are required to have specific [Stats] to use them’

The NCP Merchant greets her and she replied to him with greetings. A menu opens in front of her. All beginners’ weapons are at the same price, the price is not she would worry about now. Other than weapons, protective armor and bucklers are available to purchase. She first bought the armor and leggings that result in her defense increasing.

As for her weapons, she thinks about buying the sword and a bow as her backup weapon. Their stats are good for a beginner’s weapon. That reminds Valkyrie too, “ Wait a minute, I have to learn the mob's weak spots for preparation and higher damage”.

She is a DPS* player (Damage-Per-Second player) in addition to that she is also a strategist. Having a short-range and a long-range weapon is good especially for solo players like she planned to be. But in some cases, she might join some dungeon quest and invite more people to require in each battle.

Then she chooses the [Small Sword] and the [Light Bow] as her weapons. She can always change and upgrade them later and soon buy better weapons that have higher and better stats. Satisfied with her purchase she is ready to practice in the barracks. Although, she stopped when she felt someone tapped her shoulder.

“Um… Excuse me.” A small voice said behind her. When she turned around, two players are looking at her eyes shined with excitement. “Um, Miss are you by any chance heading to the field?” The confident green-haired player asked.

In no hesitation, Valkyrie answered. “Actually yeah, I’m planning to hunt down some boars and wasps. It’s my first time here so I’m just gonna go look around after”.

“At this game? Who does not? the graphics and design are AMAZING HERE! The Music here is perfect! I cannot believe we are INSIDE the game! OMG! Let’s- ARK!” Valkyrie is surprised by the outburst; Green seems to be rambling on about the game. He was cut off, surprised by his companion.

“OI! Snap out of it. You’re scaring her!” This time it is the lavender girl who decides her spoke up. “Please excuse him, it’s his first time here,” Lavender tells her while pushing green’s head down as an apology.

“Hehe, It's alright, he must be really friendly approach me that’s all,” Valkyrie replied, understanding the situation. She is amazed here as well.

“Of course, I’m Lavender by the way and this is my brother, Pico,” Lavender said relieved that this player was not scared off by Pico’s tendencies to ramble off. “So, you’re going to the field. Wanna join us?” She asked initially. Lavender wants to hang out with the other Beta-testers, but right now she wants her brother to be acclimated to the game. If this player wants to hang out with Pico, she will not worry much about him running around in circles.

Valkyrie contemplated this for a bit. She can tell that having a party is beneficial to all. Besides she wants to see how the gaming system works. “Sure, my name is Valkyrie. Nice to meet you Pico, Lavender. Thanks for the invitation”.

“No probs” Pico replied “Hey Sis, let's go already!”. The green brother shrug his sister’s hand and tries to run off. But Lavender caught him again and this time he tried to flail around. “HEY! HEY! HEY! LET GO!”

“Hold It! Will yah! You still do not have a weapon! You Dummy!” His sister raised her voice and that knockdown some sense to him.

“Oh” Pico blinks, now he remembered why they did go to the merchant. And with that Pico was limp in his sister's hand. “Tehehe” He just chuckled in embarrassment. Val cannot help but giggle. Somehow, she got herself into a party that reminded her of the old team. Does she wonder how Adrien is doing?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lavender turns out a beta-tester and she knows lots of tips. Other than the Switch, she also teaches the two how to activate Sword Skills. The Beta-Tester had a broadsword before and she wanted to hone her skills more and more to have that skill again.

In the field, three players are taking down tons of boars and wasp. Apparently, after a quick demonstration of Lavender’s skills and techniques from her sword, Valkyrie catches up quickly up the basics.

--[CRITICAL HIT]—

=[19 HIT STREAK!]=

“Your good with the sword Val. Not bad” Lavender praised the other girl dissipates another boar to blue dust.

“Yeah well, It seems kinda slow to me. Do you think a dagger might be better to me?” Valkyrie’s busy mind seems to blurt out those words. She does like the sword but now having second thoughts about having a dagger instead.

“That was slow to you?” Pico blinked from behind taking the loot from each boar they killed. Val almost killed a couple of dozen of boars in less than 30 minutes; he is slowly catching up to her with his spear. It saves time especially when an NPC at the gate is holding a quest to collect the loot for col.

“Well, It will get some time to get used to it but speed is not everything though. You must adjust in this gaming system there is a lot more going on here like Basic Skills, Sword Skills, and rarely do people get the Unique Skills.” The beta-tester answered. “And also, swords are very flexible in the game, maybe you’ll get one the fits you better soon.” Lavender advised her friend “But~ if you are sure, you can buy another weapon instead, they are cheap after all since this is the early game”.

“Yeah, if that is slow to you what’s gonna happen when you gotta hold on a dagger. Ha! Those PKers never gonna stand a chance!” Pico cheered on.

“Hey, sis! Is there a skill when it comes to potion-making?” He asked his sister. “Maybe I can set a shop to get myself a lab” he joked, although not a complete lie. Pico always wanted a lab on his own. He loves chemistry back in IRL* (In Real Life). So, when he heard about the non-battle skills, he is curious about what things would look like.

Lavender checked all their stats on the screen:

Pico’s Stats are based on Endurance, Intelligence, and Strength followed by Luck and Agility.

Valkyrie’s Stats leans to Intelligence, Agility, and strangely Luck everything else follows.

And Lavender’s priorities are Strength, Agility, and Endurance and the rest follows.

“I guess so yah mad scientist! Not everyone here likes fighting. There is a bunch of skill can be learned here” Lavender then seethed her weapon, closes the screen, and counts of the skills she knows. “Blacksmithing, Tailoring, Baking, Cooking, Fishing, there’s a lot of stuff you can do here! When you’re not on an expedition”. Then her expression changes to ecstasy? “Ma~ But the food~ The Cakes, The Fudge, The Buffet~. Everything Is So Good~ “

The taste testing back in the beta does surprise a lot of players. The Food was horrible back then because they activate the wrong senses. Apple juices make migraines, Chocolate taste like coal, One memorable moment is when that Beef Wellington that makes players log out cause the senses have been overridden ten times more, the poor guy has to go to the hospital.

“Now!” Lavender announced to get the newbies' attention. “You guys are already used to your weapons and Level Stats. Lesson no. 2 now begins!”

“Now there is another feature in the game, hitting consecutive attacks gives off a damage streak giving of higher damage bonus that is when one player hits the target nonstop attacks, but when that person ran out of stamina that ends the attack. Unless activating [Switch] to change party members to continue the streak until the target dies or the party ran out of stamina.” Lavender lectured the two on the page about the switch.

“Initially, Players switched out to either restore their stamina or heal their party members. It also gives time to the other party members to load up their Sword skills” Lavender states.

” Although, that beast of a man really does terrify me” Lavender murmured to herself remembering the green-eyed demon beta-player back in the beta testing.

It turns out that Sword Skills are skills that can be learned in numerous ways like skill grinding and completing the quest.

“Now then, Pico I need you to attack those boars again but this time-“ The sister looked down from the hill they stand on where three boars are minding their own business. “And do an AOE* (Area of Effect) swipe first then while they are stunned to try to take out their eyes ”.

“Now~ my young apprentice. Stike them down!” Lavender exclaimed pointing to the frenzy boars as she pushed the boy down the hill.

“Hey! I’m only Level 2 you know!”

Valkyrie enjoyed her time here. She was able to make two friends and looking around the place in 1F, It's perfect. All she needed to do is to arrange her stuff in inventory and…

Wait…

No, Where is it?!

No, I need to get out!

No, Don’t! Not Again! NOT AGAIN!

NO NO NO NO NO NO!

“Guys… Guys!?” the confused player called out the bickering siblings. The Two did pay attention after their chaotic fight.

“What is it?” “You OK there?” The two asked at the same time but the clueless player is fiddling around the screen. Getting more and more confused.

“Guys… I think There’s a bug” Valkyrie said in a cold voice. The siblings looked at her, confused as her but they cannot say anything. The two are stunned with Red Valkyrie’s eyes as they hardened and glazed, her face was voided from emotion and her form becomes rigid.

“The Log off button is missing” A voice of a battle-hardened leader stated at the field where the sunsets.

Shouts from other players from their teams gained their attention next. Worries and Confusion filled the field as the music seems to play darker. The three then noticed that players seem to teleport away, leaving their teams until they teleported too without access to the menu screen.

"Pico!" Lavender exclaimed as her brother was taken in blue dust. Lavender's avatar soon follows. Leaving Marinette Red Valkyrie in her spot frozen.

She knows one thing for sure though.

“Chaos Arrives”

This is her last thought as she herself. Was taken away.

Writing Tag Game

thank you @bookdancerfics for tagging me!

AO3 name: Queen_of_Moons67

Fandoms: ooh boy there’s a lot. in order of most fics to least: AkaYona, Teen Wolf, BNHA, Daiya no Ace, SPN, Hardy Boys, Avengers, Merlin, Percy Jackson, Batman, the Hobbit, Harry Potter, YOI, the Musketeers, Double Decker!, the Librarians, Alex Rider, FMAB, MDZS, Iron Man, LOTR, Tiger and Bunny, SAO, Leverage, Young Justice

Tropes: crossovers, hurt/comfort, fluff, AU, time travel, dimensional travel, character gets turned into [x], soulmates, cuddling for warmth, arranged marriage, flower shop, just cuddling in general actually (characters literally sleeping together is how i end a lot of fics), hostage situation, sick fic, pack bonding

Number of fics: 72 on AO3! plus a ton more on FFN that i never transferred over

Fic I spent the most time on: i’m not actually sure about this one? i started writing my “We Are the Challengers (Plus Ultra!)” series (Daiya; Eijun has a lion/cat quirk AU) almost two years ago, but i haven’t been writing it consistently. “Write Your Letters in the Sand” (SPN; Sam starts time traveling to the past during his most hurt and/or angstiest moments), on the other hand, i wrote pretty consistently for for a year

Fic I spent the least time on: “Legends” (short AkaYona platonic soulmate AU)

Longest Fic: “Write Your Letters in the Sand” is 30k, but if you include unposted chapters for “We Are the Challengers (Plus Ultra!),” the series is almost 42k!

Shortest Fic: “Legends” is only 128 words

Most hits: “Write Your Letters in the Sand,” by far! it has almost 11k on AO3, and almost 107k on FFN!

Most kudos: “Write Your Letters in the Sand” has 601 kudos!

Most comment threads: “Write Your Letters in the Sand” has 108 comment threads

Total word count: 179k on AO3; FFN is skewed high b/c it includes the ANs, but 336k on there

Favourite fic I wrote: this changes almost every time i post something new, but right now it’s “something wild (calls you home)” (Tiger and Bunny; Kotetsu gets turned into a dog)

Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: ok, wow, i actually have a lot of these. the three i immediately think of though:

“The World Knows Our Name”; a 4.5k Teen Wolf future fic that i wrote before season six, it explores the McCall Pack dealing with the entire world finding out werewolves exist. it features pack dynamics, good alpha!Scott, the news, and politics. i got so many requests to turn it into a full-length fic. i was so touched and inspired at the time, but never actually did anything with it b/c i was already working on other things. but i’ve always wanted to go back and both expand the McCall Pack side of things, and explore a social media outsider POV on the events happening

“Our Kingdom Come,” a 1390 word AkaYona fic that was always meant to be a long fic. it’s an arranged marriage AU for YonaLili; i had the beginning ready, and really wanted to share it, so when one of the prompts for 2019′s AkaYona Ladies Week happened to fit... yeah. i worked it into a one-shot. i don’t know if i’ll ever expand it--i’ve never tried to do tackle a complete reworking of canon like that before--but boy do i want to

“Entwined”; speaking of complete reworkings of canon... “Entwined” is less than 300 words of another AkaYona AU. i posted the very beginning of it, which just seems like a “Soo-won actually kills Yona before her and Hak can escape the castle” story. but it... well. it’s a lot more complicated than that, in that Soo-won just implies he killed Yona. he’s actually holding her captive / keeping her “safe” (this is the guy who once promised to be Yona’s new mother, after all; he’s not going to just kill her b/c Kye-sook says so), but everyone else thinks she’s dead.

the storyline would eventually devolve into Hak leading a dark, vengeance-seeking Happy Hungry Bunch, while Yona fights to escape with the help of a few canon friends. probably endgame HakYona. the written up plot synopsis i have in my folder is longer than the itty bitty bit i’ve already posted, guys

Share a bit of a WIP or a story idea you’re planning on: uuuuuh ok, so most of my WIPs are either already being posted (in which case i don’t want to spoil them) or being kept Secret till posting. but there is one fic that i really want to get back to some time, even if i’m not sure when. right now it just consists of some ideas, so here’s a summary!

BNHA KiriBaku Fantasy AU.

Bakugou doesn’t know that every now and then, dragons will shed their old scales one at a time until they’ve all been replaced with new ones. It’s not something they really advertise—whether it be vanity, the instinct not to talk about momentary weaknesses, or something else entirely—and Kiri is no different when he starts to shed his scales for the first time since he met Bakugou.

Cue Bakugou being worried because DAMMIT SHITTY SCALES, he keeps finding them all over the place, and he doubts they just go back on!

Tagging @tinydemondragon and anyone else who wants to!

Masterlist

Previously:

In this quiet intersection, she is alone with a man, ' a handsome man... Bad Marinette! SNAP OUT OF IT ' She's not sure if she can blush in the game but she would be completely flustered at the closeness of this giant that is looking down on her.

Akuma is looking at her with indifferent eyes, yet his voice dripped in curiosity. “That was an interesting run. ~ Mademoiselle ~” The man said. He raised his brow as he fully looked at her once over again.

—————————————-

Marketplace, Town of Beginning

Floor 1

—————————————-

“Um, Thanks? ” Mar Valkyrie calmly looks at the man, who no doubt follows her the same way she did. “ Uh, you're good too? ” She said to him. She doesn't need to be a genius, she can tell that this guy is a Beta-Tester like Lavender ‘I wonder if Lavender knows this man? He doesn’t seem to be forgettable’

Akuma then leaned back giving the woman some space, he can confirm that this woman is of French descent. From her speech and her mannerism, this woman must be from Paris. How she brushed aside her fear and panicked quickly to put up a confident front. ( Fake it until you make as Brown said similar to that) Not many will notice, but he is the son of Batman (Grayson helped him with feelings. ugh) Reading the situation is a necessity when your Grandfather’s enemies hide behind corners and strike maliciously.

Passing her initial panic if he is right, she has a lot of potential and if they could get to work together, she could be a great ally. If Hawkmoth taught the French something, it must be self-control. (He shakes the thought of this woman could have been akumatized at one point.)

“I see. “Akuma then looks at her cursor and ID, she’s not that bad by any means. She is only a level below him. “Midori no Akuma, you may call me Midori. Mademoiselle” He introduced himself with him and offered his hand out to her. He didn’t mind being called Green. If he gains a trustworthy ally he can teach and rely on.

She reaches out and shakes his hand. 'His hand grips like a businessman. a very well-trained one. But his eyes are ... what do call that? It's like it oozes superiority and command. Was he a soldier?'

“Red Valkyrie, I wish we could have met in better circumstances” Red Valkyrie stated. Her eyes are now clear as she is aware of Midori's gaze. Red Valkyrie meets his gaze and she sees him. She sees the wariness his body screams yet he remains calm in this situation. She sees how he tries hard not to scare her off. She… sees a man who is used to being captured and escaping on his own, but how can you escape if your mind is imprisoned? She too was shaken, the thought that they are trapped here against their will.

‘Marinette is fine, M Midori introduces himself. But he could have let me call him Akuma though. Why does he introduce himself as Midori? He knows French, yes. But that does not mean he DID go to Paris and know about Qwackmoth. Does he? I can’t just ask him about Paris. Who knows if the AI’s are listening and recording everyone’s move’

“Indeed” Dam Akuma looked in the direction of the plaza. “When those people snap from their senses, they will start farming the village running it to the ground,” He stated. Accommodating 10,000 players in one village is dangerous if it's small. Grinding for materials and quests is going to be difficult especially if killed mobs respawn in a slower time frame. Now there is a death sentence for everyone. 10,000 players will not only have to farm for resources, once they out-level the place they either fight other players for Experience points or…

“They are going to kill each other.” Red Valkyrie whispered as her line of sight followed him. Her thoughts link well to him. ‘That’s it I’ll make her my partner’ This opportunity is hard to come by.

‘Oh no. I’m turning into Father!’ ‘Blue eyes and black hair?! dammit!’

“After killing those mobs and taking all the items and resources available, they are going to sweep this place clean quick and not everyone has the chance to level up. If they are desperate they will either move out and find more chances in other villages or (and I hope this wouldn't happen) Player killing.” She mumbled out.

“...”

They then both realize the severity of the situation.

“The games have respawned features.” Red Valkyrie whispered. Horrified that it sinks into her."Especially PVP battles"

“SAO however does not” Midori no Akuma replied. “If we die. We Perish” Damian doesn't panic, he has unsettled the thought of holding people hostage from their comfort and security under their noses. “ I can tell that they will horde the healing potions first and other medical supplies”

“Join Me.” Akuma offered. “We will be hounded first for having more EXP points, we should go to the next village. At least then mobs will reset by the time we are done, and everyone else leveled up and arrived there.”

Red Valkyrie now faces him. Although he did have a point, running away does not sit well with Marinette. Sure, they are taking advantage of the chaos and disorder of the players now but deeper in her heart she feels like she is abandoning them.

“Yes, we can acknowledge that leaving them does benefit us” Akuma spoke. Oops! Did she speak aloud?

“It just doesn’t feel right though.” She downheartedly replied. “I mean what will happen if every single one of us just left. Wouldn’t it be better if all of us work together to get out of this?” She tried to convince him for… something. A plan B perhaps? His plan is the logical solution now but it felt wrong against her morals.

“You’ll be surprised how many of these people packed together. There is nothing to worry about them” Akuma stated as he fiddles at his menu, noticing the yellow flag in one of the options. He found the chatbox and selected his chat earlier.

“Hey, Midori” Red Valkyrie spoke as she realized something. Midori looks up, having his attention to her. “I think I left my sword at the plaza. I need a weapon.”Midori looks at her judgingly as she nervously laughs. “I mean that I um- I may have a bow but I tested out the weapons earlier and I think I need to replace it with the dagger and-and purchase stuff you know the essentials and- ” She rambles off.

“Do what you like” Akuma replies cutting her off. He then reviews the chat. If he gets there quickly he might be able to catch up to Kirito in time before his student leaves the town.

Red Valkyrie is unbothered by this and proceeded to plan.

----------------------

Kirito: Klein joined his squad after we talked.

Kirito: I’m heading out.

Argo: Out in O-Plains or Out the Town?

Kirito: …

Argo: @Kirito

Kirito: Be right back.

Agro: Are you F-ing serious! Alone!

Argo: DAMMIT!

Akuma: I’m closest to him I’ll talk to him.

Argo: Tnx Akuma.

----------------------

Midori closes the chatbox and faces the woman who is in deep thoughts. Although he is trained to work alone. Even Batman needs a Robin.

“My offer still stands. I also need to restock my supplies leaving the town” (And inform the group of his plans but she doesn’t need to know that.) “My offer still stands. If you wish to join me, I’ll give you an hour at the West Gate.” He pointed out the direction “Go to the west of the market and you’ll find the gate. I'll wait for you for an hour”.

He left. Noting the astonishing look she had as he leaped to a nearby roof.

“Thanks- um -THANK YOU!” Red Valkyrie shouted. “Oh no, I forgot his UID!” she cried. (Unique Identifier). I’ll catch up to him later. ”

After he left and one hour to her counter, she ran to find the NPC for the quest earlier. Contemplating if joining him is the best choice. He is a stranger, a strong one, and knows a lot about the game like Lavender to Pico...

Crap! Lavender and Pico! She didn’t save their UID’s too. Maybe Akuma knows her. She’ll ask him later. If she catches him. “I need Medical supplies (no wait potions) potions, clothing, and the dagger Do we need food? I need to sell the materials for Col first too ”

And by that, she launches herself to the roof, running against time.

Masterlist

———————————————————

Namimori, Japan

———————————————————

“Thanks again Kyoya-san. Though, you didn’t have to do this much in the first place. We can find an apartment ourselves you know.” The young black-haired woman tells her older cousin.

She visited Kagami who is now a Dojo Master. They hang out a lot in the country visiting place to place and teaching Marinette how to speak Japanese. When she talks about her trip to her parent her mother suggested her to visit a bit for her Maman’s Godson.

Kyoya Hibari is the one who assisted her and Kagami from the train station. Well, if you can look past his gang of older men who are delinquents. But turns out, they are all just sweethearts that carried the women’s luggage. Kagami insisted she carries her weapon Which will be cleared by the Disciplinary Committee while Marinette for her handbag and her Precious Gaming Set.

“Hn, This is one of the safest living spaces in Namimori,” Kyoya replied. They arrive at the apartment nearby the Hibari compound. After all, his omnivore of a cousin is not as insane as the people in this place. Kyoya expects her to fight or at least protect herself but her aura is purely orange and energetic, she is presenting her flames like that squeaking omnivore years ago.

She will attract unnecessary attraction for being a sky. But Seeing that her Storm is one of the best fighters in Japan, Kyoya wishes to test her Storm Dragon’s skills. He glances at the Dragon silently, catching her eyes.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Hibari-san” Kagami replied. Her eyes spoke between their eye contact. Filled with protectiveness and controlled fire in her thoughtful eyes. That will unleash her storm flames in her sky’s need.

Good. Let the dragon protect her sky from the wolves and sheeple in this town. There is a reason for Namimori to be called the ‘Hitman’s Retirement town’ anyway.

Weeks later the young women are all settled in the town with little to no hassle. Marinette loves the Sakura trees in Namimori that became her inspiration to sketch more designs. She also bought some reading materials and a computer set up she ordered online for the Game, good thing it Kyoya’s friends help her set up while they gushing and chatting about the new gaming set-up. They help her translate most in the manual and research for her. Especially Gokudera-Kun apparently speaks a lot of European languages French included, he helped her a lot.

Kagami rather practices her katas, well until Kyoya challenges her sword against his pair of tonfas. Let's just say that Kyoya would have won if Kagami hadn’t disarmed his weapons and pinned him to the ground. Which is shocking for those who have met Kyoya in combat. Kagami then proceeded to check out the boxing gym where another of Kyoya’s friends teach boxing named Ryohei Sasagawa.

They spent the rest of their days meeting new friends, although most of them are in Italy. So, they settled in sightseeing and hanging out outside. The town might be small but the people are interesting, especially their stories. She told her parents all about the trip, sending pictures, Also Papa Tom and Maman Sabine had the chance to talk to Kyoya themselves.

When the gaming setup is fully upgraded and complete, Marinette installs SWORD ART ONLINE on her PC. Kyoya insisted on both Kagami and Marinette moving in the Hibari compound for safety measurements when someone apparently has the gall to stalk the girls to their apartment. Thankfully the man was apprehended by the disciplinary committee. Now that everything is settled, namely her excited nerves. She still can't believe that she got it.

With her luck, anything could have happened. Hopefully, the other shoe is gonna drop sooner. Kagami is happy for her even if she didn't understand as much as Marinette's enthusiasm as a gamer. So does Kyoya, he is very accommodating for the two of them and Marinette can see that the two are going to be just fine. Well, with fewer injuries during their own sparring.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng is now registered as a Player in Sword Art Online. Once she settled her Nerve gear in her head and rested her arms to her sides. She shouted the words to activate the system.

** “Link Start!” **

The young woman starts her game. Flashes of colors passed by her. As she felt her body relaxed and being lulled to rest. But her mind is drifting afar with her consciousness.

**WELCOME TO **

SWORD ART ONLINE

The Trailer of the game has begun.

It started with darkness and she feels to be sitting. The sound of the wind rushed to her ears and skin. In the Parisian’s cold night, gliding the streets in France is something she experienced in her days being Ladybug. But now with her eyes opened, she is a spectator far above the ground. Higher than the clouds, she felt breathless.

As the sun rises from the horizon, she blinks to adjust her eyes from the light. She was amazed at the heat she felt, nothing like the soft bed where she lied down minutes ago. Her braided jet-black hair is flagged by the bird’s speed.

At that time, she realizes that the fact she is riding a bird. The bird is 10 feet long from beak to its tail, not counting the long red and blue tail feathers that might be 2 feet long. Its wingspan is gigantic, each feather shines like copper. Other birds pass by her as she is surprised to feel the wind grazed her skin. She holds on to the golden bird she is on and feels the strong silky feathers in her hands. The bird slides down and guides its way to the deep forest. A yelp escapes from her lips as she felt the change of her momentum.

A mighty screech came out from its break as it picks up more speed.

Tall trees surrounded the area that has small and large animals living in them. Rivers flow between the land that is filled with fishes, frogs, and resting animals like quails, deer, and rabbits.

Pitcher plants that have elongated vines and sharp teeth, Small green creatures with red eyes are dressed in clothes carrying weapons, packs of wolves and bears roaming around the fields, horses and cattle are grazing in the wild.

At the end of the river, she hears a loud noise that comes from the end of the river, and they are heading towards the waterfall. She became nervous as her transport that she has no control tipped down to the waterfall. The Golden bird flies downward with the water and wind strikes up against them, she tightens her grip. Only to fly steadily with the lake below them.

“Yeah!”

In delight and amazement, Marinette sits up and cheers up with laughter and awe. Her shouts of happiness make the bird celebrate with her.

The scenes look real to her that she felt a bit overwhelmed by her senses and made initial dizziness slip away. The light of the sun shines on the lake in a majestic way she can see the fishes leaping on the surface of the water, the corals, and the deep blue depths holds secrets.

Rough terrains that stretched out in the open. They all contain monsters, abandoned mining shafts, and run over merchant stalls. She tries to remember all the locations from the very beginning to the end. Just in case.

After the lake, the bird picks up speed and momentum to launch back higher in the air. Passing by the maze of trees with sharp turns and avoiding crawlies like that giant spider or those giant bees that surprised her. They continue to fly off while shadows of shy beings piqued her interest as they swiftly disappeared. When they exit the forest, the end of a pasture lies a town.

At the break of dawn, the citizens woke up to a new day, the town that sets in the medieval age is next to be shown to her. Houses made of wood and stone are shown with stone walkways and fountains and well in given places. The stone buildings are made to be strong, towering structures like the glowing blue ones are noted into this game that she recognizes as a teleporter in the beta gameplay videos.

The NPCs in the marketplace who are roled to be bakers, shopkeepers, blacksmiths, lumber workers, guards, ordinary townspeople, and many others have roaming around the town square. Some of them look up to her and yells her greeting.

“Good Morning!”

“Fly well, adventurer!”

“Hi”

She can’t help but greet back” Bonjour!” with a wide smile on her face waving her one hand. They pass by the town and slowed its pace once the clear fields are filled with wildflowers and sparse trees. From there she can see the cold mountains from afar and the scorching heat of the desert.

And at last.

She saw it.

The Grand tower of the game, Aincrad.

The Floating Castle of Sword Art Online

The bird landed in the clearing. Marinette mounts off the golden bird. “Thank you so much!” She said to the preening bird. “I hope we can fly again soon” The bird cooed its appreciation and strays away from her and launches itself off back to the sky.

The Golden Bird soars freely out to the sky. Its beating wings are felt from the ground. Marinette picks up the stray feathers that are left and looks around wondering how to proceed.

Wildflowers spread across the field fades away as she appears in a digital blue room that is filled with symbols and weird shapes.

This is the room where she started.

Flashes of colors flying upon her and the General Booting systems are prepared and online.

[Congratulations!]

[You have completed the Sensory Configuration Task.]

[You are Ready to proceed to the next part of the Tutorial]

A floating screen appeared in front of her. Showing her a video clip that samples the body customization process. The body portions, eyes shape and color, skin tone adjustments, hair length and color, and facial marks. There is also a setting to change your own voice by adjusting the pitch of your tone.

[Customize your avatar]

[Gender: ___]

She is now free to edit her appearance. The first option is the gender of her character. She is taking the female route.

[Gender: Female]

[Body: ___]

A female default character appeared in front of her but quickly changes to, Wait…

Wait.

WHAT!

That’s her!

A Marinette appeared in front of her, or her own body just became her default body! How did they do this? They got her height and other body proportions right! Her chest, her hips, her face differs a bit from the green-eyed brunette in front of her. Wait maybe she is just thinking too much. Maybe she is just that much of a … standard female avatar. Yeah, it’s just a coincidence.

They just… Wow. really?

This technology is amazing! B-but she thought the headgear only drifts her subconsciousness to the game. Scanning her full body HA! Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! Great now she sounds ridiculous like Chloe.

Well, it did make sense if she is doing around the map like in a new world, she has to adapt her new body to herself

Same as her current height of 5’7, she chooses her body proportions the same as her original body. She can edit her avatar later, she doesn’t want to be clumsy there cause of the big height difference. Although the adjustments of the coloring can experiment.

[Body type: 3]

[Proceed (O) (X)]

[Voice: ___]

She tested out her voice with a quick recording, experimenting with the pitch.

_“Ara~ Ara~” _

She giggled at her choice of recording. That joke makes her laugh sometimes, well the reaction does, especially Adrien when she impersonated Lady Noir. She plays with the available options until she just settles her voice modifier to a pitch. Strong and firm soprano voice. Basically, like a pitch lower than her own.

[Voice: -1]

[Voice: OK]

[Proceed (O) (X)]

[Eyes]

She changes her eye color multiple times. Green, Black, Gray, Purple looks cute. But she just settled with something special. They were like those specialized contact lenses where the small pupil is black while the iris is mainly a heterochromatic mix of gold, blue, and purple. It looks pretty.

[Eyes: OK]

[Proceed (O) (X)]

[Hair]

She keeps a short hairstyle with a crown braid and colors it jet-black with pink highlights. She loves the look on her avatar. Even if the beginner’s clothes looked boring and plain.

[Hair: OK]

[Proceed (O) (X)]

[Body/Face]

The more she modifies her avatar she did notice that she didn’t change much about herself. She tried changes on her body yet the structure is the same. She didn’t think much about it and she continues to the next.

[Body/Face: OK]

[Proceed (O) (X)]

[This avatar will be saved and used as your body within the Aincrad, you can change the customization later in the game located in the settings.]

[Proceed (O) (X)]

[Yes: OK]

[The Avatar is now set as your current [Avatar Skin] ]

[Username: ____]

This makes Marinette nag her head for a long time. Most of her connected games have her own usernames based on animals. Mini Mouse, Lady Red, Good Girl, and a lot more to count. She wants to be different. She didn’t have that much of a fanbase in Japan, just a couple of them came along to her twitch streams.

Simple but recognizable. She can connect her name to her current gaming collection.

[Username: …]

A Flower? Definitely a Gladiolus.
