This chapter is the prologue. I am SnowyMoose the author of this story, I know that there isn't much in some chapters and some stuff might not be tensed right but I'm going to revamp this later on as currently I am trying to get the story mostly finished before cleaning up and adding to chapters. Thanks for clicking on this story and I hope you enjoy it and enjoy it much more in the future!

I wake up in the morning smelling the fresh dew on the grass as the squirrels rustle around the trees.

I try to steady myself as I lurch my body out of the bed. As I finally manage to get out of bed I start slowly pacing towards the door while rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

I move along the hallway deep in my thoughts I am greeted by my Mom as she is carrying laundry down to the basement.

I finally manage to steady myself enough to go down the stairs as I grab my favourite cereal.

I grab a bowl and pour my cereal into it, Mmm I'm almost drooling over how good the smell of this is.

I grab the milk and pour it in as I have in the past of my life every morning.

I start to slowly eat my cereal and think about today because it seems.. different.

Today is 6th of September of 2026, 4 years after the original SAO accident, I was 15 when it first happened and I had been one of the first to log into the game.

They told me that would constantly invite strangers over to pray and hope for the trapped inside and for me.

I had trained in the game and had constantly built up my strength at lower levels and by the second year I was with the Lead Group.

I always had been a nice guy who constantly was mugged for gold and had lost most of it to criminal guilds, but on June 7th 2023 everything changed that day, that was the day I became strong.

A.N: I had to do math in this one and I tried to subtly imply the date of the timeline, but honestly this took SOO LONG

and I edited so much shtuff to make it not sound cheesy.

By the way if your new to the site there is more as I currently have produced more chapters other than this you can access it at the bottom

right of this page.

Oh and thanks Guest for reviewing my story, Just wanted to point out It's a metaphor, yeah.. Thanks.

Also, I'm way to lazy to change Gold into Cor because I don't feel like it so I'm sorry if that displaces your canon feeling.
