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.

{Beta-Chat is Now Online}

Diavel: @Argo.

Diavel: Did you know about this?

Diavel: I mean… Fuck.

Argo: @Everyone I can assure you that if I knew about this from the start

Argo: I would not even get in here in the first place.

Argo: No money in the world I will risk my life in a killing game.

Lavender: Guys where are you? I’m with my brother now at O-Plains.

Lavender: we ran from the chaos.

Lavender: Guys…Please tell me that wasn’t real?

Argo: At my hideout.

Argo: @Lavender, unfortunately, no we are stuck

Diavel: Plaza, Were heading to you @Lavender

Diavel: I’m with my squad and they’re all panicking.

Diavel: Shit! I dunno what to do. They almost nicked me off!

Kirito: I'm in the west marketplace.

Akuma: We’re at the east marketplace.

Akuma: @Kirito Is Klein with you?

Kirito is typing…

Lavender: @Diavel We’re not that far from the Main Gate.

Diavel: We’re out. @Lavender Where are you? I forgot about the face-changing thing.

Diavel: That was unnerving.

Lavender: I’ll PM you.

Argo: Everyone’s all fine and dandy,

Argo: @Everyone can Someone find @Coper pls?

Akuma: Noted

Lavender: Noted

Diavel: Noted

“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.
