Glitched (a Sword Art Online Fatal Bullet fanfic)

Spriggan

I closed my eyes. I wonder what this new game will be like.

"Link start!"

My AmuSphere plunged me into ALO and I opened my eyes to a text box.

"Please insert your avatar name."

I typed in "Aviator".

"Name... valid. Please select starting race."

Nine different appearances appeared before me. I tilted my head.

"Please select starting race."

I swiped and a new avatar was before me. Looking at all of the avatars, I noticed one in all black. I swiped so that it hovered right before me and I looked under the hood.

Hey! It looks just like my GGO avatar! Heck yeah! These guys look so cool!

I placed my hand on the panel.

"Do you wish to be <Spriggan>? If yes, press other hand here. If no, remove hand."

Spriggan, huh? Cool.

I placed my other hand on the second panel and I was engulfed in black flames.

"Thank you. Have fun and enjoy Alfheim Online!"

I closed my eyes and felt myself get teleported. Wind tugged at my hair and I opened my eyes to see that I was falling from the sky. Naturally, I began to freak out.

What the heck?!? This ain't cool, game!

Suddenly, a glitch opened under me and I barreled through it, sending me to another part of the map. I slammed into the ground several times before eventually coming to a stop.

"Owwww. That probably wasn't supposed to happen."

Moaning, I stood up. I checked on my equipment and sighed.

At least I was given a one-handed sword.

Lost, I began to walk around, no clue as to what I'm supposed to do. Eventually, I heard a guy yelling at something.

"Why do you guys keep hunting me! You know I have barely anything on me!"

I crept closer and heard a man chuckled. "That right there's a lie. You were slowed by having too many items. Give us them, now."

I poked my head out of the bushes and saw several Salamanders cornering a Sylph. The Sylph drew a dagger and tried to make a stand.

"If I'm gunna die, I'm taking one of you with me!"

I drew my sword and stepped out of the bushes. Playfully, I cleared my throat and took a good look at the scene.

"Oh, am I interrupting? I'm sorry, but twelve men against one kid? Not cool."

The Sylph gasped. I took a good look at him. He had yellow-green hair, green clothes, delicate frame, and big green eyes. Smiling, I winked at the player, then held my blade out before me, ready for battle.

One of the Salamanders laughed. "What does a noob like you hope to do?"

"This."

I rushed forwards, my body a blur. Before anyone knew what had happened, I had already eliminated six of the twelve players harassing the Sylph. One of the Salamanders tried shooting me with an arrow, but I simply swatted it away with the side of my blade. They gasped.

"Just who are you?"

"The name's Aviator and this isn't my first VR game."

I took out five more Salamanders, then looked at the last one alive. He was hovering in the air with glittering wings and he was afraid like he should be.
