The First Few Lessons Are Free :

Vivlia fidgeted with her fingers as she slowly trudged through the town. “Where do I find it again..” she muttered to herself, her arms hugging her shoulders. Agh, where did that NPC say it was? Her lower lip trembled, can NPC’s give you false programming in this game? The peach haired player heaved a sigh and shook her head. This sucks, I’m lost in a giant town, I should’ve left here when I had the chance.. she whimpered and looked up, scanning the area in front of her. 

After a few seconds of standing in the middle of a large crowd, she quickly found the small shop she had been looking for. Aha! There it is, she carefully made her way through the crowd and stood in front of the small shop.

Taking in a small breath of air, she peeked inside, “Uh, hello?” She said quietly, “Is there a Zackiriah here?”

From around the corner, a bearded head popped up, “ah, are you here for the quest young one?” Zackiriah’s voice was gruff but soft. His eyes could show a million stars, fake. The rosy haired player sighed and gave a meek nod, her glasses falling.

”Y-yes, someone gave me instructions to come here to get it?” She stuttered quietly, raising her red glasses. Get your act together Vivlia! He won’t care, he’s just a bunch of 1’s and 0’s! She frowned at the thought. Why did they have to make him so life like? It’s hard to know if he’s human.. she huffed in annoyance. But no matter, I have to talk to him anyways, wish I can just telepathically talk to someone, that’d be so much easier.

The white haired NPC gave a hardy laugh and nodded. “Not very talkative there are ya?” His chest heaved up and down, Vivlia’s face pink from the embarrassment. “Aye, you’ve come to the right place.”

The player gave a sigh of relief, “Thank god,” She whispered and rubbed her neck. “Uhm.. what exactly does this quest want me to do? He didn’t give me any specifics..” she spoke in a lightly mutter. That is why you should not trust peo- NPCs. 

“Ah, yes. I just need you to get five materials for me,” he chuckled, holding up five fingers. “That seem easy enough?” He asked, raising a thick brow.

She nodded slowly, “Y-yes, I think that should be easy enough for me,” she whispered, hugging herself. “I’ll get to it then, see you later..” she gave a small wave and left the shop. Oh lord, I though I was going to burst. She sighed, brushing it off and trudging off through the town. I should head for the forest, it probabaly has a lot of materials there.. maybe I could score a couple before it gets dark or something. She planned carefully, adjusting her glasses.

After a few minutes of weaving through crowds of people, she finally made her way out of the town. “I haven’t been this far out before..” she gulped, looking from left to right for any sign of danger. I guess it’s safe.. for now.. she sighed, walking towards a leafy green forest. I bet there’ll be materials there, it’s a forest! She smiled happily and skipped excitedly to the trees. 

At the entrance, she slowly let fear engulf her. “It’s d-dark in there,” she whispered to herself, what if something jumps out and attacks me? What if my HP drops to zero? I’ll die right? That’s what Kayaba said right?! She clutched her head. I can’t die. Not here! I had my life planned out. I would go to Oxford and get a medical degree. I would work on the America’s. Why, why me?! She choked back a sob and fell to her knees, why me..?

She rubbed her red eyes and sniffed, how did I get in this mess? I was going to be a successful doctor.. she whimpered, what happens if I get out of here? Will I even be able to go to college? It’s been two years, I’m 17 now.. if I don’t get out of here soon I won’t be able to make it to college. Her eyes were brimming with tears. But that’s why I have to work hard right? To be able to get out of here? I guess.. she stood up, rubbing her face of tears. “Be strong,” She whispered, “You can’t back down now.”

She wondered the forest, every noise making her jump back. “Eheh.. there has to be something here,” she muttered nervously, checking under trees and bushes. Sighing, she crossed her arms. Unbelievable, I would have a butt-load of materials if I was actually gathering in real life. She scoffed, raising her hand over her head with a tiredly sigh. I knows it’s a game, but it feels so real. I really feel like I’m in a forest, they could’ve made millions off of this.

Vivlia sighed as had found nothing. Again, this would be much easier if it was real life, I can’t even break a darn stick of a three. She huffed, crossing her arms disapprovingly. “This is stupid,” she muttered to herself, looking around some more. What can I even find around here? It’s just five though. Can’t be that hard. 

And with that, she went back to searching. Only for a few minutes later, she slumped down on a nearby tree. Agh, I can’t find anything! Is gathering really this hard? I can’t get anywhere in SAO like this! She puffed depressingly. Why cant I do this right? Why cant it be as easy as reading a book? She though hopelessly, planting her face into her arms. What if never get out of here? I can’t stay here, it won’t make sense.. my body in real life will slowly fade away, along with my conscious, why..? Why do I have to endure this much pain?

My body in real life won’t be able to keep up like this, I’ll be dead by next year if I don’t get out of here, she felt her eyes sting. Mum and Pa spoiled me, but hey we’re kind people, why did this happen? She sniffed, taking off her glasses and rubbing her red eyes. I won’t be successful, once I’m out of here. I’ll probabaly have PTSD, and even if I didn’t, I won’t be able to live with myself after being in here. She broke into hysterical sobs and she face planted herself into her arms.

Why did I ever want this? This was too fishy to begin with! Another heartbreaking sob wracked through her body. Stupid, stupid! The only label I’ll ever get in this life a stupid nerd and bookworm! She gave a hard sniff and stared intently on the dirt driven ground. Out of more than 7 billion people, I had to be one of the few who had to experience this..?

After a few more minutes of constant sobbing, she finally stopped, although hiccuping every few seconds. Why, why, why? She held an emotional stare with the ground. Out of so many people, why me? Another few seconds later, another stack of hiccups hit her. It was then it hit her that she had been wasting precious time. I better go.. she sniffed, get some materials before it gets dark.. she wiped away her watery eyes. “Stupid emotions,” she hissed under her breath and stood up quickly.

They’re unpredictable, she bought bitterly, making her way deeper into the forest. Stupid game, stupid Kayaba, stupid Nervegear. Her eyes were blazing with fury and hate. Stupid SAO! There was no [ BEEP ] reason to make this [ BEEP ] game! People are losing their lives as they play this game. There’s no reason to make countless people go through this, no reason! She said in her head furiously.

Vivlia gave a depressed sigh as she  had yet found anything close it a material. Gosh darn it. This is frekin unbelievably stupid! She let out a small sigh. “Ughhh,” she groaned, pulling her face down. Stupid system! I can’t find anything! She blinked tiredly, this is so dumb, I can’t get anywhere like this! I won’t ever level up, she snorted stubbornly and puffed.

Why cant this game make any sense?! She grabbed a fistful of her peach hair and gripped it tight. “Ughh!” She yelled furiously at nothing. Kicking a few pieces of dirt and rocks away, she felt her heartbeat quicken. ”Stupid game, stupid system, stupid me!” she shrieked angrily, quickly collapsing down into the forest floor. I’m going to fight my way out, I don’t care if I die. I am going to contribute to the stupid game. I have nothing to lose anymore, might as well work.

Pulling out her rapier from her inventory, she quickly examined it. It’s shabby, but I don’t expect much when I have this much Col. She took a breathless sigh and sheathed the pointy weapon. I would never dream of holding a sword in my hand, it’s weird.. her gaze quickly glanced at the white sheath. What can I really do with this? She frowned, I’ll probabably have to do a quest or open a shop to buy weapons. I have intentions of opening any kind of shop though. She groaned, letting out an aggravating sigh.

She looked above her, there was a faint light shining through the thick green leaves of the forest. It’s peaceful, of course they would make this floor peaceful though. They had to make it calm enough to soothe the raging, anxious, and depressed players. They would’ve all committed suicide if this floor wasn’t so calming. If it was like floor four, what players would even make it to the top? She sighed, pulling herself closer to the tree.

Was I one of those players? Angry, sad, abound ones? She heaved a heavy sigh, I don’t even remember, it’s been two years. I wonder how long my hair is now. She picked up a strand of loose peach hair. Average hair growth is half an inch per month. Aye, that’s a lot of hair.. she sighed, how am I going to cut it all when I get out? She huffed, crossing her arms. Should I keep it long? I haven’t had long hair in a while. 

Will I even play with he NerveGear again? Not likely, the company will most likely be shut down after we get out. For future VRMMO games I suppose. She sighed and trudged on further. “It’s an.. interesting experience, I might play again,” she gave a small smile and intertwined her fingers together. I hope that it won’t be long before we get out, it would be nice to get my hands on a genuine book again.

She almost forgot what it felt like to read a real book. Game manuals are the things I’ve actually read here, not surprising though. It would be a waste of time to create a large amount of books about nothing. She sighed, running a hand through her peach looks. This is.. bad. I’m not going to be able to contribute to Aincrad’s society, I’m weak. She stare meekly at the ground. 

I’m not those high leveled players on the front lines, I can’t even find some stupid materials, her hand trailed down to her rapier, I’m one of the most useless people here.. everyone has a place in aincrad but me. Her bottom lip quivered with anxiety. It’s not like I don’t want to, it’s just.. I can’t, can I? As she pulled her hands out of her hair, she lifted her glasses. It’s weird, seeing without my glasses on. It must be nice to people who enjoy this..

The rose tinted player groaned once more. Aghhhh, I can’t.. do this! She gave a loud and heavy sigh as she stubbornly kicked some rocks around. Crossing her hands, she gave a loud huff and leaned on the tree, Tree climbing.. she thought immediately, turning her gaze to the high trees. Will there be materials there? Maybe, maybe not? With my luck I have nothing to lose. She shook her head, I can’t beleive this is my last resort, can’t hurt though. 

Quickly taking hold of a few sturdy low branches, she quickly made her up on the tree. Oh geez, I haven’t been on a tree in a while, I used to read in trees a lot. She bit her lip, hoping the action would make the memories refuse to surface. Taking step after another, she quickly made her way to the highest branch which was several meters off the ground. Huh, it’s actually nice here. She took a seat between a fork of two large branches. Only then did she whisper, “feels like home.”

Vivlia sat in wedges in between the fork for quite some time, dozing off for a bit before coming back and remembering where she was. Agh, I could go for a genuine book right now. Harry Potter sounds good right now. She chuckled, wiping her mouth. I’d even go for Shakespeare at this moment, she giggled, nearly falling off the tree. “Ack!” She sweatdropped, rebalancing herself. Eheh.. that.. was close. She sighed, giving out a big yawn, I haven’t found any materials the whole day.. maybe I should just take a nap and doze my unluckiness away, she gave a faint smile before drifting off.

Vivliawoke up to a loud sound nearby. “Eep!” She squealed, quickly covering her mouth. Looking up to the sky, she realized it was way past the night. The sky was black with hints of a dark blue and purple, stars glimmering across it. What tine is it? What was that sound? She looked below her, not seeing anything at first. I can’t see anything.. she squinted, focusing her eyes on several moving things. Realizing what they were, her eyes widened. Wolves.

"Ack!" her head swung up and down, left and right frantically. Wolves, wolves, why wolves?! Wait.. eheh.. a received sigh escaped her. Wolves can't climb trees, I must be dumb from the panic. Jeez. She smiled to herself and face palmed herself. Peering over the edge of the tree fork, she could see wolves far bigger than they should be, laying their noses onto the ground. Trying to sniff me out huh? She crossed her arms and huffed, "Stupid creatures.. I'm right above their noses," the player muttered, crossing her arms and shaking her head. As if on cue, the wolves snapped their heads up at her. Whoops? She frowned, watching them try to claw up the large tree. My rapier isn't long enough to poke them here.. maybe I could throw something at them? She looked at her surroundings and quickly picked out a couple acorns resting on a branch. She took a handful and started throwing them at the canine predators. "Get back!" she spoke in a rather harsh tone.

After a few minutes of throwing, screaming, and cursing, she finally got the wolves to leave. They honestly probably didn't wasn't their ears to fall off due to her excessive screaming. Ah.. finally.. the tired out player slumped onto the tree. Noticing she still had a few across, she looked at them closer. Wait.. she held her head and reached out her hand of across. "These are materials!" she shook her head, cursing. Ah.. I feel so dumb for not noticing earlier.

After storing a couple of the acorns in her inventory, she let out a relieved sigh and let out a small but bright smile. Well thats one down.. four to go. This is gonna be one heck of a quest.. My luck is so bad. She groaned, rubbing her forehead. The bookworm looked up at the nigh sky, it was almost pitch black but the radiant moon and twinkling array of bright white stars that lit up the night left her bewildered. How come something so beautiful be so fake? She frowned at her random though, What I'd give for to see this in the real world.. pushing up her red pink tinted glasses, she leaned back onto the tree, tiredness overwhelming her. It won't hurt to close my eyes for a couple seconds.. right? But before she could even answer her own question, she was already off to dream land.
