Sword Arts Online: Darkness

What if the creator of Sword Arts Online had controlled Kirito and his friends, turning them into evil, and brought the game into the real world, turning it into a giant game world? Well, this is the situation where our ordinary protagonist Roxas Nietes, or Rohasu Nitama as his player name, had found himself. Being a foreign high school student living in Japan with his friends in a shared house owned by his school would make his life there difficult, but his intelligence on basically anything instead made him prepared and an actionist. He was an ambivert who loved music, art, writing, picture taking, philosophizing, and best of all, making scenarios of all kinds in his mind. So, the day before SAO was brought into the real world, Roxas had unknowingly received a mysterious-looking email from a player named Anko Tachibana, who was a deceased player. That email is a request for help because he, who knew Kirito and his friends before, wants someone to help them, who are now known as the Elite Players, snap from their state of being brainwashed by the game. Roxas accepted it after some thinking, but there’s one condition: he will be Anko’s vessel because Anko is now a spirit after his death in the game. To be free from Anko’s ghostly possession, he needed to complete the task in any way he could. Now that he was Anko’s vessel, what would Roxas do to do this big and seemingly impossible mission? Well, he will use his intelligence, ambivert personality, and scenario-making mindset to do it, plus action. That combination sounds ridiculous and unorthodox, but for him, it will be a good one. So, join him, Anko, and their friends in a now-altered reality fighting monsters and bosses across Aincrad-ridded Japan and getting into the Tower while trying to get Kirito and his friends out of their brainwashed state. But the dark side of Sword Art Online was slowly revealed as Roxas and his friends went deeper and deeper for their mission through their spirit guardians. One of them was the origins of Eugeo and Alice (This was what if Eugeo and Alice were once humans who were killed and were forced to be bots in the games?)

Chapter 67 – the Bicolano Breeze

Third person POV

 Later on, 7 o'clock came, and the dinner meal service came in. Flight attendants came to the passenger cabins with their meal carts ready to be served to passengers for this flight. Roxas saw that and ordered a tray of Chicken Curry with Potatoes and Rice for 200 Philippine Pesos, as well as a free water drink with it. After that, Roxas grabbed his provided utensils and ate up, tasting the tasty meal so good. "Mhm! Sarap!" Anko was happy for him, knowing that his vessel was having the time of his life. While eating his meal, Roxas took a selfie of himself and Anko, and Anko was shown in the picture with white outline around him to show his connection to Roxas as a ghost through his body.

 After some time, Roxas ordered a plate of Leche Flan with a side of a scoop of Vanilla ice cream for dessert. Its price was 90 Philippine Pesos. Anko saw that it looked good to eat but couldn't eat it because he was dead.

Roxas' POV

 And then, at 9:14 p.m., we landed at Legazpi City's airport, and it was a successful touchdown. Anko looked at the Filipino surroundings and the Legazpi City International Airport through the window with great enthusiasm, wanting to see the country's wonders through our exploration together. "Dude, I can feel the vibe being positive by just looking through the window and being in this plane," he said to me with enthusiasm.

 "Yup, we're here, welcome to the Philippines, kaibigan," responded I.

Anko then looked at me with a smile. "Thanks, Roxas-kun."

 A bit later, after the plane parked at a spot and was given a mobile set of stairs, the seatbelt signs turned off, prompting all of us passengers to unbuckle our seatbelts and stand up. We then grabbed our belongings and opened the overhead compartments to grab our remaining belongings. They were elbowing and shoving towards each other since the aisles were narrow. Anko, however, was easy for him to navigate as a ghost. A bit later, we were now out of the plane, down the flight steps, and walking towards the airport terminal on foot across the tarmac at night. Anko felt the cool, night, Bicolano breeze blowing against us at this hour thanks to being in a contract with me, meaning that he could feel it in the same way I could.

 "This is so good!" Anko shouted.

 "Yup!" I smiled at him while carrying my backpack and messenger bag with me.

Third person POV

 A bit later, Roxas and Anko arrived at the airport terminal and went through immigration and security, before heading to the waiting for their next, connecting flight to Iloilo City, the province of Iloilo, which will call for boarding at 9:36 p.m. Seeing the time so tight because of their long walk from the plane, Roxas and Anko rushed to the waiting area near the flight's designated gate. Both of them did so and found that the flight was now in the process of boarding. Relieved to have reached the place before the boarding time ended, Roxas and Anko entered in, and Anko hid in Roxas. Roxas then entered in and lined up. The foreign student of a Japanese school then passed through successfully and went into the plane through a connected and attached jetway. This time, the plane was a narrow-bodied, small, and single-aisle. Roxas then settled into his assigned seat, stowing his backpack into the overhead compartment and putting his messenger bag on his lap. Luckily, there was a vacant seat that no one booked on his right, so Anko came out and occupied that seat like a regular, live human.

 "Man, I am so excited to see your hometown!" Anko said to Roxas enthusiastically.

Roxas then looked at him and nodded.

Later on, at 9:56 p.m., the plane took off from Legazpi City and headed southwest towards Iloilo City.
