Isayago Nadet's Story

*Lying in the fields staring blankly into the sky...

starter post after this everyone gets a post to introduce their character reactions and actions then i'll post the first available quest)

On the virtual screens at the sky, there was a system announcement that drew everyone's attention. Suddenly, a giant, robed, faceless figure appeared, identifying himself as Kayaba Akihiko, the creator of the game and the only person with control over the game. Addressing the problem of the missing «Log Out» option, he announced to the players that he had purposely removed it from the game as another one of its features and thus, trapping them in the game.

While all the players were alarmed by his announcement, he continued on to point out that trying to forcibly escape by removing the NerveGear would result in the player's death by having the player's brain fried by the NerveGear's transmitter, which functioned like a microwave and used the internal battery of the helmet as a power source, thus cutting off the power was not a solution. Having informed the outside world of the situation beforehand, he reported that friends and family members of some of the players had already ignored his warning, causing the death of 213 players, showing images of the SAO incident.


Kayaba also told them that he had also removed the revival system in the game. Therefore, when a player died in-game, their game avatar would be forever lost, and, at the same time, the NerveGear would fry the player's brain, thus killing them. He then told them that the only way to escape the game was to complete it, which meant clearing all 100 floors of «Aincrad» and their bosses, much to the players' shock.

As he finished his announcement, he left a "gift", a «Mirror», in everyone’s inventory, which they took out. At that moment, a huge blinding light changed the players to their true appearances; sharply dropping the amount of female players by revealing that many male players were masquerading as female characters (though some female players were also masquerading as males). Afterwards, Kayaba revealed that his only goal was to create the game and intervene in it. Finally Kayaba vanished after his «Tutorial» is finished.

As everyone started panicking after Kayaba’s departure, Emi quickly took action and tried to bring Suzuno with her to the next nearby village, stating that the surrounding resources would be limited. However, Suzuno told her that he could not come with her, as he has some friends in real life somewhere in the plaza, and he did not want to leave them behind. Emi realized that he could only protect one player at a time with his current skills, meaning that if Suzunoor one of his friends died, she would be blamed for their deaths since he was the one who had suggested to leave.

Suzuno noticed Emi’s worries and politely told her that he should go ahead by himself, as he planned to go back to lead and protect his friends with the lessons that Emi had taught him. He then tried to cheer Emi up with a joke about her slightly masculine appearance, to which Emi retaliates by stating that Suzuno’s unkempt face suited him better. They then parted ways. Alone by himself with no one else to depend on, Emi ran through the town and outside the gate, vowing that she would survive in this game world and be free from the virtual imprisonment while swiftly taking out a wolf standing in her way.

Well, fuck my life...

*Walks away flipping up hood.*

(Thinks to self)
Wonder if I can still put in some more grind time before it get's dark...
Should I party with anyone, couldn't hurt to ask, nah, can't betray The Shadow Ravens. I must contact them if I can.
If we can't log out, may as well make the most of it, not that I'd want to leave anyways...

*Walks to the edge of town and looks back at the crowd*

I can't help but feel these people are doomed, no way they play as much games as me...
Hard to say, 60 hours a week is quite high...

*Walks out into the fields to grind hoping for someone from Shadow Ravens to come find him...*

Desius was only really mildly pissed off. Yes, he was now in a life or death situation. Yes he was the only member from the Legion that was online at the time. How ever, all that aside, what he was most pissed about, was that his character, with its Blond hair, Crystal blue eyes, and many roman style tattoos; had been replaced with all of his actual features: Chocolate brown hair, hazel eyes, and singular tattoo.


Hell, he half expected the built in audio and visual translation software, the program that translated every piece of writing and sound from the games default Japanese to his naive English, to be disabled. Alas, as much as it seemed that...well, he could never remember his name (he had taken to calling him "GeneralMcFuckFace") had wanted to make this game a living hell for him and the other 10,000 players, he at least wanted them to understand each other.

So, after the announcement, he took one looked around and spoke a few words. "I recommend, and this is coming from "The Black Centurion", that you party up to stay alive" with that, he turned, drew his Gladius, and walked out in to the now dark wilderness.

Emi knew she had to make it to tolbana as soon as possible and continue to survive, she knew that if she ever hope to see her little brother, her mother, her life she would have to survive this death game no matter the cost. She was an ex beta tester having knowledge of how to get to the next town with the safest route even at level one, she would be fine as long as she didn't have to worry about anyone else. However leaving suzuno the boy who she first helped was really hard on her in the back of her mind she feel really guilty about it. Emi continued to make her way killing the spawning boards and the occasional dire wolf on her way. Her XP bar grew steadily, as the sun set began to fade and the first night of SAO or now a living nightmare would begin. She watched the sky but gave no thought of resting no she need to continue moving, she could still hear the commotion over in the town and other ex betas following after her, she was a head too ahead to let them catch on. She took a path through the forest hoping to get a little more XP and get to Tolbana faster.

( Check the Weekly quest often in the OOC, this week will start on Wednesday, however new quest will be posted every Friday 4pm Aincrad time, I will give you the time of the quest compare it to your time, so we can all sync up our schedules. god speed, level up, scavenge, survive, once everyone has made it to tolbana you may take a quest, also once I see everyone has level enough for a boss raid I will schedule one, however consider this you don't have to be a front line, you can be a shop keeper and help the cause that way, or perhaps be an info broker if you are an ex beta you don't need to risk death in order to roleplay. Anyway welcome to aincrad have fun)

(ps like I said only post here if your story is non cannon, the 100 floors place is only for cannon, so only post there for a boss raid or if it happen in the manga or light novels.)

*Sits on rock pondering what to do next*

I've filled my quota of random dickery for the day, or rather the only admin that exists did so for me. I don't have any quests to do, nor would I, given that this IS an MMORPG it'd likely end up being a goddamn fetch quest or some shitty escort mission. Like hell I need that. I wonder if anyone in town could be of help with my boredom, does SAO have any built in games, like a gladiator ring, or, hell I dunno, internet. Man if this game doesn't have a browser built in I am going to be missing out on a shitload of Anime... Fuck it, I'm heading to the tavern, even if it's only NPC's I can still put buckets on everyones heads...

*Walks into the tavern in search of entertainment*

( anyone who has make it to tolbana please check both the weekly quest and the claim quest in the OOC to know which quest are claimed and which aren't, also remember concerning any quest how they are solved and how they played out should be posted here and I cannot stress this enough THE NON CANNON happens here in floor one, CANNON only in the 100 floors please, if any quest lines are posted in the 100 floors it will be promptly deleted thank you and good luck with your quest )
