Town of Beginning

When M open his eye, he saw two huge semi circle wall with one huge exit at the far end which seem to lead outside the safe area. Behind him is a huge black iron looklike castle.

After he finish look around, he look at himself wearing a black long sleeve shirt with a brown vest over it. He also wearing a fingerless glove.

He then do a vertical slide with his right hand to open the main menu. A ringing sound is hear and the main menu appears. It's was five white circular button in a straight line.

According to the manual, the second circular with two person icon in it is about party, friends and guild. He press it and press friend and add Megumi. Now he only need wait for Megumi to accept and then they can meet up.

While M was waiting, more and more player start to spawn until he spot a familiar looking chestnut brown hair girl was talking to a female NPC.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[M POV]

That should be Asuna right. It's look exactly like in the movie. If I not wrong this should be the part where she looking for her friend.

"Like I said, I am looking for my friend Tozawa Misumi"

I walk over "um..... do you know your friend IGN? The NPC can't find your friend using real name. Do you know it's bad manner to shout your friend real name out loud in game. You should shout your friend IGN ."

"Ahh really. I am so sorry. Thank you for letting me know about this but I don't know my friend IGN"

"I don't think you need to find your friend. Your friend will find you soon. See, that purple hair tall guy is sprinting over here. It should be your friend"

Soon Misumi guy arrived and asked" Why are you here?" while holding her shoulder which scare Asuna.

"Who are you and release me" as Asuna trying to struggle but fail.

"It's me, Misumi" as the guy voice change into female voice.

"That should be your friend. Its is not uncommon for female to use male avatar. Anyway I glad you managed to find your friend"

Asuna seem to understand something and ask the guy in a loud surprise voice."Ehhhhh Are you really Tozawa Misumi?"

"Yes and please stop yelling out my real name!!!!!! Its very embrassing you know, Asuna"

In the end, I still didn't managed to stop it from happening. Well I did try. I say goodbye to Asuna and her friend as Megumi has accepted my friend request and message me to meet up at the weapon shop.

~~~~~~~~~~

As M walk over to the weapon store after asking the NPC, he notice they is quite a lot of of those self-made stall but most of them only sell health potion. The price is 100 Col each and player only start with 1000 Col.

There us also necklace and ring but it just for decoration. A few stall also sell weapon but it just some other type of beginner weapon.

All player start with a beginner short sword. If you don't like it, you can buy other weapon.

Soon he arrive the weapon shop and walk in. He was surprise by the number of weapon display in the store. Almost all type is display here with the minimum of 2 weapon per type display on it.

M looked around and managed to find Megumi at the dagger display area. Look like Megumi plan to use dagger type weapon as her main weapon.

"Megumi, what are you looking at?" as M walk over to Megumi side

"M, this two dagger price. I am a bit confuse"

She pointed at the two dagger.

IRON DAGGER

ATK+36 500 Col

EAGLE DAGGER

ATK+36 2000 Col

Both dagger has the same damage but the price difference is 4 times. M also is a bit confuse like Megumi now.

"Couple-san, that iron dagger can only enchant up to +4 meanwhile the eagle dagger can enchant up to +6" a voice from behind tell us.

We both turn around find a yellow hair girl behind us. She has whisker make up on her face.

"So you mean the eagle dagger has more potential than iron dagger. Thanks for the info. I am M and this is Megumi."

" I am Argo.An info broker. I focus on buying and selling information. Don't worry, this info is free. Consider it as an marketing. If you need any info, you can find me." Then she send me a friend request.

An information broker. There is still a few hour before Kayaba Akihiko announced the death game. After he do that, any information might able to save your life and time. M decide to accept after much thinking.

Megumi also follow after seeing M accept.

"Remember to find me if you need any more info. Mata-ne~ couple-san" she then run out and continue to expand her network.

After she left, M transfer all his 1000 Col to Megumi though trade request. Megumi look a bit worry since M transfer all his Col, then he won't any Col left to switch weapon.

M pats her head and say "Dont worry, I can still use this short sword for awhile. You switch first, then we farm together, after that is my turn, Ok"

After buying the eagle dagger, Megumi got an attack boost and now they are broke to buy any health potion. We decide to sell the short sword for 200 Col and buy 2 health potion.

"Megumi, let go to the blacksmith to get a quest first before we got leveling. It is a standard item gathering Quest for any MMO game which mean this SAO is the same"
