Tron Vs Matrix

  Fe then stood in Sword Art Online, the game he wanted to play that day. The day was bright but cut short as he saw a group of people that looked at him with a smile, he decided for a moment to slow down as he walked up to them and said hi, starting a strong friendship as he looked for them for guidance, but this ended two years into the game as he watched those friends leave, stopping by say hello, and giving Fe a great amount of comfort and the information he seeked. Over the years though, those friends on his list disappeared, and the memories where only that, memories that couldn't become anything new as Fe sighed at the board in Black Iron Castle, seeing the truth of the matter and in fact the people he had as friends, disappeared one after another. Causing Tron to wonder the streets of the town year after year, listening to conversation after conversation, until none remained.

  The 6th of November, the launch of Sword Art Online, is where this story of what seemed to be happiness was given a dark turn. Fe though walked down the staircase of his home, brought on by a smile from his mother. Everything so clear as he watched her have a bag in hand, he could see it, it was the nerve gear, the new device that he hoped would bring him to his new fantasy world he had heard from friends. HIs mother smiled as she looked at the time, nearly noon that Sunday. Fehun hugging his mother and her ever so joyful. She merely said the time for dinner as she prepared to leave for the store, the smile never going away. Fehun though turned back at her before she left, "I love you mom, thank you!", he said. His mother simply smiling as she turned back, "I love you too Fe, now go enjoy your game", she would say as he walked up his stairs, preparing his nerve gear for his ultimate quest he thought, the life that he once knew was about to disappear as he said those words, "LINK START".

  Tron sighed as he remembered his past of his life in the real world. His mind gazing to the life that once knew of simplicity as he walked once again through those gates of the starting town. Although what truly came through Fehun's head was the past here in Aincrad. The past seemed ever near as he stayed in the town of beginnings. That past was ever more creeping towards Fe, bringing his past in his mind. The player halted as he remembered his past, 

  "Fehun! Fehun! I got a surprise for you!" A woman's voice said from far away, the memory had been brought back to Fe as he saw a family walking around the town of beginnings, and the memory was just that, a memory from his life at home. The room he was sitting in that day was messy, the monitor being the only thing turned on as he clicked away on his computer. The boy standing up as he had felt so left out on the day of Sword Art Online launch day. His mother had come home with a smile on her face, her son was never a spoiled brat, but rather the upset as a kid as he grew up in a low middle class family, his father leaving when he was young, living his household not only emotional broken, but financially. HIs mother took care of him though, and while the room was messy, it was messy with tattered clothing, and his room showed lack of items besides his personal desk.

  Tron sighed as he grabbed his sword off his back, preparing for nearly anything as he walked back towards the town of beginnings, he just wanted out to be honest. The player, also known as Fehun, was a determined kid. He wasn't introverted by any means, but the game had changed him. The nearly five years that had been strolling around the game seemed to fuck with Fehun. The kid had turned into closeted person who didn't know what to do with his life anymore, or until reason that was. He was depressed for those first two years, and upon seeing how far back he was, he did try to leave town, but turned back almost instantly. Tron was seriously annoyed with his previous actions, regretting the time wasted studying basic shit that he realized in the last hour he could've learned in a minute. The tedious nights reviewing everything cause he was to paranoid to do anything, but the other issues of seeing friends he made here also seemed to make his life a nightmare to some extent off of pure regret of never seeing those people again.

  Tron sighed as he got up from the ground and looked at the boar, he grabbed his sword and swooshed it to his right side. The blade shinning as the sun shinned off it. Tron ran as fast as he could towards the boar, smiling as he swung his sword into the right side of the beast, turning his heel and running back to it's left side. He wanted the beast to be dead as he grabbed his sword and looked back at it, the blue glow from his sword dimming as the boar pup exploded. The player smiled as he looked down at the notification that popped up, pressing the blue circle as he finally got the last husk that he need, and the player now walked back to the Town of beginnings. He just needed to return the rest of the husks to the shop keep, simple right?

    Tron smiled as he walked over once more to another, cocky as ever when he went up to a boar pup, trying to strike at the beast. It was normal as ever, but his foot slipped as he dived down to slide into the grass. The boar simply looked at the player, kicking it's hoofs into the ground and running towards Tron. Tron got up as the boar came at him, jumping left as the Boar went through where the player once was. Tron was taking a breath of air as he grabbed his Sword and looked back at the boar, Tron standing as he looked at the boar, he thought for a moment how the boar wasn't going to hit the player, Tron though sort of chalked it up to the low amount of skill that the mob had, smiling as he had watched the little thing swing by and kick into the dirt.

  Tron sighed as he looked around, groups of boar where all around, but yet another boar sat near him to the left, about 5 m, as he pulled his sword back out. He grinned as he walked over to the beast, grabbing his sword and slashing the left side of the boar, his sword turning blue as the texture of the boar turned red, a slight scream coming from the mob, as Tron then proceeded to wrap around the front of the beast, running along it's right side, hitting it again with the light blue Sword Skill. The boar pup screaming as it's headed tilted upward, Tron sliding his Sword back into his hilt, the player wiping off the dirt from his outfit as he looked down seeing the notification once again showing up that the player had finally collected the Boar pup tusk. Tron smiled as he once again looked back at the field, seeing yet one more boar to attack.

    Tron sighed as he looked around, smiling as he looked towards the fields and seeing a lone boar pup. The player running as fast as he could, seeing a piece of fun of killing a mob. As the Swordsman started to run towards the boar he grabbed out his sword, the color turning red as he activated the Sword Skill rage spike. Tron had read through his Sword Skill info years ago and saw that it was a sword skill that doubled his damage with the two swings and apparently reveling a large amount of blue flare to the surge. Tron remembered this as he now approached the boar and started by sliding across the side of the beast on his knees, the sword being inverted in his hand. Tron eventually reached the end of the mob, and turn around and struck the sword once more. The beast freaking out and frizzling. Tron breathed in and out as he felt weak for a minute. Looking back towards the place where the boar stood, a notification popping up showing the Boar Pup Tusk he was looking for. Tron smiled, "One down, Two to go!", Tron thought as he pressed the blue circle looking around while crossing his arms.

  Tron sighed as he looked at the shop keep, he was tired of the fake NPC's acting so real. They almost pulled off the realism to the peak, but Tron found himself ever so depressed from it. He shook that off though, but it was always in the back of his mind. At least Kayaba had a made the  game seemingly real, it would satisfy Tron for mean time. He thought about all of this as he turned around, heading back to the front gates of the Town of beginnings, the streets being poorly filled, once live with people, the only sounds where the sounds of the town's music and very few people coming through the town. Tron frowned as he walked through the gates and the bridge that connected to the fields. He sighed as he looked around for the boar pup, seeing one in the distance and giving a slight smile.

   Following the result of the end of First lessons, Tron found himself in the Town of beginnings in front of a blacksmith shop. The main NPC that was their, Lyle, had just asked Tron if they could stay for a little bit of help. Tron though, after hearing this, a message appeared in front of the player. Showing a "Quest Complete" notification, Tron pressed the blue circle, and looked back to Lyle, a slight smile as he nodded. 
   "Great to hear Swordsman! I was hoping I could get some help, I need to get some help getting materials, but not any materials! I need Boar pup tusks, although I'll need three" The blacksmith said looking to his side, giving a bit of a sigh as he looked at the swordsman. "If you could head out to plains for me, that would be great! You'll need to kill the things, and gather the materials for them! Return them back to me when you do, this will be great for the shop!"

       Tron Smiled as the item crafted successfully, giving an nod and watching as Zachariah walked over to a cabinet and grabbed a package wrapped in paper, tied by string. Tron was confused, but didn't think in any sense it was for him. The old man placed it on the table and looked at Tron. 
              "If you could young one," the old man started, "It would mean a lot to me if you could go ahead and deliver this package to an old blacksmith friend of mine, I need to get it out of my workshop, its been taking up to much space. He'd probably be grateful if he finally did retrieve the package you know, could you do that for me?" 
        Tron, without hesitation, nodded, and grabbed the package, smiling once more at the old man, and turning out of the building. The old man wishing him luck and the door behind Tron finally shutting as he made his way down the street to a blacksmithing shop, the NPC Lyle appearing in front of the shop as he smiled at the player, noticing the package that was in his hand. 
              "Zachariah must have sent you! I have been waiting ages for this package, may I please have it?" 
       Tron questioned how the NPC knew it was the exact package that he was looking for, it looked like any other sort of package, but Tron handed the man the package, him putting it on his counter and about to walk in before seeing the boy once more, a 'Hmmmm' coming out from the NPC's throat as he looked at Tron. 
             "Could you help with something? I think I could use you for it."

       Tron smiled as he looked around, seeing the flower on the ground and grabbing it, it seemed that he had finally collected the last flower and now Tron just needed to go back to the old man as pressed the blue circle once more. Getting up from the ground he walked back up to the town, smiling as he passed the gate. The player was not the most delighted to have his party member vanish, and she was still alive as he noted that her health didn't go to yellow and no monster could have killed her that quickly. He shrugged it off as he walked into the Town finally and made his way down to the land to Zachariah. He was a nice NPC, not stubborn or rude. 
       The player though finally was in front of the workshop or the alchemist as he walked in smiling at the old man once more, the old man perking around and greeting him with the exact same smile he did the first time he walked into his workshop. Tron closing the door behind him as the old man started to talk. 
              "So I see your back so quickly, and I hope you have the items I was asking for correct, to give me an item you can open your menu by-" 
       Tron didn't care for the chattering talks of trade or whatever. He was so bored with tutorial talking that the just opened his menu and dropped the items in front of Zachariah. Still providing the smile as they fell from in front of him to the floor inches away from Zachariah's feet. 
              "Yep, I got them all right here for ya, five tier one materials as you asked."  Tron though noticed as the material had changed from the item it once was to a copper colored brick of some sort, probably a color given as the material was to be universal for Aincrad.
       The old man though smiled as he walked over to Tron, squatting a grabbing the items off the floor, and placing them on the table next to him as he smiled at Tron looking back at the player. Tossing him one of the materials, smiling, giving a chuckle Zachariah leaned against his table, smiling. "Go ahead and craft a healing potion for me, give it a shot. I'm sure you'll be fine." 
       Tron smiled as he grabbed the material from the old man, placing it on the table and grabbing a small hammer on the bench and hitting the copper brick. Thankfully the brick glowed for a second, then shifted into am uncommon quality potion, Zachariah chuckling as he grabbed it and placed it in pocket.

       Tron thought about the time it would take for him to get to the frontlines, the thoughts though faded as he neared the Gates to the Town, a smile on his face came up as well as he looked down at the ground, seeing the flower he had just picked up a few minutes ago down the hill. He was happy to see the quest wasn't going to take much time, but his face stayed blank as he grabbed it and placed it in his inventory. He was tired after the running around for no reason, he knew it was due to his level, but he would just need to walk it off to be fine afterward. The player though looked around once more as he tried to find the same flower or another rock. Another rock though could prove to be just another stone, not materials. Something he wasn't wanting to waste more time with.

       Tron sighed as he walked up the trail, not finding a single thing. The sun though still pushing down on Tron. He had a small amount of determination that ran through him as he walked up the hillside. His hands in his pockets and his eyes thin as he yawned, the weather was nice and the air blew through the area so calmly, he could've taken a nap if he wanted to, but he continued to look around the fields looking for these materials. He didn't know if he was truly going to get to the front lines in time, it seemed like the community had done so much to try and get to where they where now, and the time it took to get all the way up their is something else. He figured though they all had to go step by step, and waste time doing who knows what, he could easily get to the top with the information he had gathered, as long as he he did it right.

       Tron smiled once more as he perked around and found a rock maybe a few feet away. It seemed that these drops for loot where more common then he thought, but figured that it was going to be only tier one material for probably the next ten to twenty five floors before the materials increased, or perhaps less seeing as people had strong loot that definitely wasn't just made from flowers or rocks right here on the first floor of Aincrad. The player though made his way to the rock, checking to see the description as the tier one materials he needed, and smiling as he pressed the blue circle once more and the item vanished to his inventory. Tron would only need two more, so he started his trek back up the hill, back towards the Town of Beginnings. His hope was that he had maybe missed something as he was looking before from the rush of competing and hopefully it would work out for him.

       Tron smirked as he ran towards the next shiny thing in the fields, thankfully no monsters spawned this close to town. Tron though slid down the hill side as he found a flower, not normally present every 2 feet. He poked the thing, similar to rock, and it showed up yet again as tier one materials. Tron smiled cheerfully as he pressed the blue O that was below the description of the item, and he watched as it fizzed away into his inventory. He was now feeling great as he looked around yet again to find something in the area that would provide him the last three materials he needed. He was stopped though as he looked down, and then to the top right of his field of view. The party he was in seemed to have been dissolved, either Starla had grown bored, or she had to be off somewhere. Either way didn't matter to Tron as he pressed the blue O with a sigh and looked up again towards the fields, knowing he would have to finish the quest alone.

       Tron smirked as he neared yet another rock, "This has to be it", he thought as he grabbed the rock, black crystals coming out of the bottom. that was below his feet now. Shining he grabbed it, and poked the outside of it, the item popped up as a "Tier one Material". Tron scream for a short second, "YES, I found one!", the player then proceeded to press the blue O, it disappearing and being put in his inventory. The player in question ran right, trying to find a rock similar to that one, or to find something just as similar. He didn't know if he would find one, but he was he was certain he would now, and in no time. Tron was now trying to run through the field as quick as he could, running near mock 20, or so it felt, to find all of these rocks or whatever that would come back a tier 1 material. He wasn't going to wait to figure out if Starla would find one.

       Tron ran down the hill side as he looked onward for some type of material, he now stumbled across some sort of rocks. He sighed as he turned them all over, every... single... one. Just to find that they where rocks, the comments from Starla didn't matter to Tron anymore as he looked onward to the field, needing to find these things as soon as possible. The need to speed up didn't help at all as he ran onward to the hillside. Needing to find more things to turn over, or possibly look for something other then rocks. He was not, though, finding a single thing around here... 
        The only thing that kept him calm at the moment was knowing that Starla was also not finding anything as he looked onward to the hillside. He was slightly annoyed, but also not that hot headed as he continued to look for these materials...

       Tron frowned as he continued to look around, suddenly he saw a rock in the ground. It couldn't have been more then 10 meters away. The player though walked up this one, seeing as Starla was also having no luck finding anything. He turned it over and found nothing either under that one but a comment coming out from Starla. He wasn't annoyed by the comment, but messing around with her was somewhat fun, he knew that he needed to up the pace, even if she didn't find anything though, he was going to pick that dinner, hopefully.
              "Oh whatever, you know I'll find them quicker then you!" Tron chuckled as he looked around one more, this time another few rocks peeking towards his interest, yet again maybe 10 m out, although deeper into the plains as he looked for possibly flowers... "maybe these one will do the trick" Tron thought as he ran over to them...

       Tron shook his head as he looked at Starla, "No col, but I'll challenge you to be the first to get the five materials. You win and dinner's on me and you pick the restaurant. Vice versa for myself of course." Tron started running out towards the fields, looking back at her as she stood there in front of the gates. "There's this really good place in the north side, you're going to love it!" Tron said as he ran to the field looking for some sort of material. And then it caught his eye something in the field, he started running towards it and slid in to find, nothing, It was just grass shining off the reflection from the son, Tron started to look around again as he looked for the next thing he thought was material.

       "6 years actually, I spent the first two mourning. I probably shouldn't have done that but I think you understand what I mean about how hard it is to basically give up an entire life. I realized years ago I needed to get to the frontlines, but the act of which wasn't going to be easy ya know? I was so over my head at the time, I already know that this quest leads to a delivery or something at the end, but I don't know if that connects to the second lesson. I talked around for years, and I never spent my money, although the sword speaks to differ but I kid you not a blacksmith came at me, chucked it at my head, and said 'Stop being a noob' or something... either wat it's got a good amount of damage on it ya know?"
       Tron now though looked up as he passed the towns gates, his heart getting a little anxious as he walked out towards the plains and outward to find these materials, eventually the two would find them, and it seemed it would work out great for them. Starla though seem slightly curious to Tron's life, he was far to quiet though about that, sensitive you could call it, or PTSD to him...

       Tron smiled as the quest notification appeared in front of him, 'Zachariah's little helpers' it read. Tron grinned and press the blue O, immediately looking back to the girl, and to the top left of his field of view. Tron was reading the name of his new party member, guildless of course, just as himself. Her name was Starla, at least her user name was. He proceeded to follow the girl out of the workshop, and to the streets of the Town of Beginnings. 
               "Nope, not a thing" Tron said as they walked out to the street, Tron making a right and heading for the Gates out of town. It would be a bit of a walk, but thankfully the workshop was basically on the outer wall. 
       Tron though, waited for Starla as moved quickly out of the workshop and onto the street, if she started walking he was going to walk besides her once she did. "So how come you never did this quest? I personally haven't done a single quest before this in the last 8 years, but I have more knowledge then you'd think" Tron would say as the two walked, once Starla made her way remotely near Tron. He was looking at nothing but the road ahead as he spoke, little to no people passing through them and the only thing to be heard was music coming from NPC somewhere in the town.

       Tron peaked around as he saw another figure enter the room, you see the quest wasn't going to activate until Tron left as it was an early quest for people who probably had a million in one question's. The girl walked in just as Zachariah seemed to walk back to his table, but the player in question walked over to him, giving a smile. He knew this was gonna be easier with two people and probably have more rewards as he thought he had heard some talks of getting something extra. 
              "Hey, do you mind if we party up? I think it might work out for both of us, and it seems that you are also..." He would look at her armor and then back up to her, "Level one similar to me, but It wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. Anyway, I'm Tron, but if we ask he how to do the quest you can join me in the quest. We're just gonna gather some materials so it shouldn't be too hard to do. What do ya say?"

       The old man, somewhat thrown back as he looked at Tron, his face blank as he seemed to process what just happened but almost immediately went back to a smile on his, face, scratching the back of his head as he chuckled at Tron. 
              "So it seems that I've become popular now hasn't it? Well then, I was just about to ask for your assistance actually, you see I need Materials for a project of mine and I was wondering if you could help a poor man out? The sun beats down on me to hard for my old age and I don't think I could really go outside the walls. Anyway... if you could collect those items, I would be utmost grateful for your help young one." 
       Tron nodded as he looked at the old man, Zachariah smiling back towards Tron, giving a great amount of warm energy towards him that made Tron almost think he wasn't an NPC, the realism was on key, the hand movements and emotions on point. The player though was possibly thinking to much on the idea as he stared blankly at Zachariah.

       The old man smiled upon Tron, giving a warm feeling of comfort as he looked at the boy. Zachariah putting down his things as he walked towards Tron the smile never going away. 
              "You know, its rare I see people come in here anymore, let alone a level one. Although I'm sure you have plenty of question to ask m-" Tron though through all of this kept a straight face, a slight smirk as the old man assumed he needed assistance. The player crossing his arms, as he looked upon Zachariah, the boy not impatience but kiddy of all things actually, it was apparent as Tron gave a side grin. 
              "No actually, I'm good on questions, could I help you somehow Zachariah?" Tron said, playing along with the quest he had been told about. Past this point though he didn't know much more of it, but it would lead him to someone else after. Six years of none stop studying made him understand the game, but not the in's and out's, that would be madness.
