-(Y/N)'s P.O.V-

Once I logged into SAO that it was in its current beta testing, the official release of the game will come tomorrow since I'm a little excited to go for the official release. 

I'm currently level 10 since I do farm a lot, did some quests, and went about five floors in beta. I was rummaging around in the shops to look for food to eat something before I could go training again. 

I bought myself three fresh apples and went outside of the town to train a little against those wild boars. 

(Y/N): Alright, time to do some training!

I said with motivation and I did a bit of exercise. I drew my normal sword out and began to charge towards the boars.

(Y/N): Haaaahhh!!

I jumped in the air and began to slash three hits from the boar before killing it as it disappears into data. I hear the other boar charging towards me as I ran up towards it with my sword it and I yelled out...

(Y/N): Sonic Leap!

I yelled out as my blade glows into (F/C) as I jumped in the air and slashed the boar in 1 hit before it died and disappeared into data.

(Y/N): Well, that was easy...

???: No kidding.

It was a female voice behind me as I turned to see a female player with long black hair approaching me with a smile on her face.

(Y/N): Oh hello there, didn't see you out in the fields.

I said with politeness as the female giggled and spoke up.

???: Yeah, I kinda saw you slaying those boars there, so I was watching you on how you fight. 

(Y/N): You were, huh...

Kiriko: Anyways, I'm Kiriko and I'm level 5. You?

(Y/N): I'm (U/N), and I'm level 10, people call me (Y/N) in real life. 

Kiriko: (U/N)...(Y/N), huh...they're quite nice. I should go with (Y/N) instead of your username.

I gave her suspicious eyes as I spoke up.

(Y/N): You're not a guy behind that girly avatar, aren't you?

She gave me a light-hearted chuckle and spoke up.

Kiriko: Nah, I'm not a guy behind this avatar. I'm seriously a girl!

(Y/N): Yeah, I find that hard to believe. Can't trust people these days wearing a girl avatar.

Kiriko: That goes for the same as everyone. Anyways, do you mind if I can spar with you? I'll give you a bit of training~

I chuckled at her request as I spoke up.

(Y/N): Sure, we can do it here. 

(A/N: Not sure, if the beta test had any PvP options.)

-Mini Time Skip-

After a bit of training as Kiriko spoke up.

Kiriko: Jeez, for a level 10 guy like you, you sure are tough!

(Y/N): Yeah, but you are also fast as well. Thanks for the training, Kiriko.

I said with a smile as Kiriko smiled back. That's when the two of you hear the sound of bells ringing as the announcement spoke up.

Announcement: Thank you for joining us for the beta test of Sword Art Online. 5 PM today marks the end of our beta test period. At the end of this beta test, all player data will be rest. We look forward to having you all join us again for the full release. 

(Y/N): Huh, I guess time is up now. What a bummer...

You said with a disappointing voice.

Kiriko: Don't be like that. We can meet up by tomorrow for the official game release! Wanna make friends with me? 

I was surprised at her request as I spoke up.

(Y/N): Fine, I guess I'll add ya after the official release.

Kiriko: Good, we can meet up at the Teleport Gate Plaza, see you tomorrow!

Eventually, both Kiriko and I logged out and waited for tomorrow's official release of Sword Art Online.

-A Year and a Half later-

Back at that memory, I really thought that Kayaba Akihiko was joking around about having no "Long Out" option, but he wasn't joking, he was serious. Everyone was scared that they're going to trapped in this game and will die in real life in-game in VR.

Looking back there, I was really scared at first, but have I experienced this deadly VR game in my life...I have gotten myself stronger and gain some new skills. Although, I do kinda miss Kiriko when she said that she was going solo on her own.

However, she can chat whenever she liked to if she feels lonely or something. So right now, I was on the 75th floor and sat down on a bench as I was eating a sandwich that I had bought just now.

(Y/N): Hah...I feel a bit bored now, what can I do?

I questioned to myself, that's when something or someone was covering my eyes.

(Y/N): Huh? Why is it so dark all of the sudden?

???: Hehehe, guess who~?

(Y/N): Uh...

I really couldn't guess that voice, but it seemed to be familiar. The hands removed themselves as I turn around to see that a familiar face.

(Y/N): K-Kiriko!?

She chuckled and gave me a goofy grin on her face as she spoke up.

Kiriko: Hello again, (Y/N)!

(Y/N): Jeez, you surprised me. Although, it's been a while, hasn't it?

Kiriko: Yeah, it sure does. 

(Y/N): Say, have you go through a lot of stuff for over a year and a half?

Kiriko: Sure do. Encountered with a lot of monsters, met new people, clearing floors, stuff like that. Say, since we're reunited...how about we stick together as partners?

She offered with a smile on her face as I was surprised by that and lightly blushed.

(Y/N): Well...sure, I could go with that.

Suddenly, my head was pulled into Kiriko's chest as I can feel my face going hot and I hear her spoke up.

Kiriko: Aww, thank you for that, (Y/N)! You're so sweet!

(Y/N): Hey! You're making a scene here!

-Four Months Later and No one's P.O.V-

It's been four months since you and Kiriko finally reunited with each other. You met her new friends that she met and you were really cool them when you first met them. So right now, it was currently night time as Kiriko told you that she needed to show you something in the Inn.

You have no idea what it is, but you agreed with it. Once you and Kiriko get to the Inn as you entered the room first and spoke up.

(Y/N): So, what is it that you want to show me?

Kiriko: Go sit on the bed first, I'll go and get it.

(Y/N): Alright then.

You said as you sat down on the bed and looked outside the starry night in the window. You smiled at this, that's when the lights in the room were turned off.

(Y/N): Huh? What the? Kiriko, did you turn off the lights?

You asked as you turn around and immediately blushed at what you had seen.

Kiriko: Hehehe, like what you see~?

(Y/N): W-Whoa! H-Hey! Is the surprise you were talking about!?

You asked with a mad blush on your face as Kiriko walked towards you and smirked seductively at you.

Kiriko: This is the surprsie~ I can't believe you fell for it~ Now then...take off those clothes and I'm gonna pound that "sword" of yours. 

Kiriko says as she licked her lips seductively as you had a stunned look on your face and spoke up.

(Y/N): (A-Ah...oh god...)

You thought to yourself and this night is gonna one hell of a ride for you.

(A/N: Alright, stay tuned for more!)
