Sword Art Infinity

"Aletto?" ()

"Jeez! Anyway! We've opened the way to the Second Floor!" ()

"I'm certain we will, Sachi!" ()

I give a nod. My name in this world. Just before I head off for the second floor, I stop again. .... Asuna. If someone you trust ever asks you to join their guild? do it. You're going to be very powerful.

We have to do our best even after this! ()

"Yeah! Lets go there and take a long, nice rest. I almost died out there"

You know what'd be cute? if Silica said "I didnt told you to stop petting me" and then I pet her and she enjoys it.

"I'll keep that in mind... Are you going to start a guild?" ()

"Well, according to the guidebook, every exit of one floor leads right into the next floor's town... So it'd be faster for us to go through here." ()

"And we will! Shall we head to the next floor, then?" ()

Nah. It would probably hinder progress. Also I would definitely give it a stupid name like "Expansion pack", but I'm not tellin' her that! (...)

Sachi gives a nod! ()

"Alright, lets go!"

We travel to the new town!

"I see. That's too bad." ()

Silica follows! ()

With that, I lead the way to the next floor! ()

With that, I head off to the next floor! WITH MY DOG. ()

Sachi follows yoo! ()

"Hmm... I wonder if they'll have good food there...."

And so we all arrive on Floor 2: Electric Boogaloo!

The first stop for each of us will probably be the inn, which of course, I am making my way to with Sachi! ()

I wonder if Strea is making due so far... I enter dat inn!

Sachi follows yoo! ()

We now head to the inn!

"Silica, Im going to pay for your room too. Its on me"

Speak of the devil, you opened the door and walked right into none other than Strea's breasts! "Ohey!" (... )

I stop for a moment to note what's going on between Alex and Strea. ".... Man, the kinda luck that takes..." (... )

"Eh? You really don't mind?" ()

-Hey...W-where'd the lights go?! IS MY NERVEGEAR FAILING?! OH GOSH I'M GONNA DIE!! (...)

.... He doesn't even realize. ()

"Yup! I dont mind!"

I look at the strange occurrences around me. Spectres, Ghosts, Zombies is what I expected. What I got was just NPCs standing like they expected someone to talk to them. No player in sight. While I am not truly alone it feels like Im the only person in the world. I walk around the town, and I spot a few players wondering the place. Possibly some players, who is stuck in this game like me, hiding in town not to be killed. Possibly some of them is running a fetch quest, or perhaps just lost. I choose to ignore them, as I need to travel to the next town over and in no time to waste any time.

I exited the town and began walking down the road. Slew some hostile enemies for exp, just in case if I need it. Not the hardest of enemies and the exp wasnt much. But its better risking my life than fighting a stronger enemy that can cut my HP in half with one swing. I eventually made it to the nearby town, and closer to my destination. The dungeon that holds the boss that will unlock the next floor for other players to proceed. I feel like a hero, becoming this strong on my own and meeting a few friends on the way.

As I walk toward the dungeon, I encounter some Dremora. Cut them down with my hammer. They where easy. "That'll teach you" Serena tells it, of whom it is dead. It was pointless and I dont really tell her that it was. I ready my hammer, Serena unsheathes the Dwemer Mace I gave her a while back. We are about enter the [pause, saves, quits game]

Well its 2024! While I safely exited Sword Art Online with all my friends and my girlfriend alive, and now we are attending the school rehabilitation facility, I feel that I should check something. I open up my Steam app. "Surely it would have been made by now..." I talked to myself. My heart pounds as my curser floats over the search bar. "Half LIfe" I typed in. My search results didnt contained that much hits. "Half Life" I scrolled down "Half Life 2..." but no where in sight was Half Life 3. For the first time being a Daedric God I shed tears, not after even having my first son I ever cried. But this... impossible. I waited for so many years and yet its not even released? My hope for humanity has ended, but I will carry on with my life as I gave up hoping for the eventual sequel to Half Life Episode 2 will ever come to fruition.
