SAO Arc-1? (draft)

Kirito choked to death in his snacks in front of the computer...

This death isn't cannon like Shirou Emia's was.

Did I kill Kirito? is me beeing here caused his death so i could take hold of his corpse?

Acording to the System, this is an alternate timeline where the only diference is that Kirito died before canon. But even so! I can't help but feal guilty!

Anyway. His soul is now in the afterlife and I have his body.

The first thing I do is check with the System how long I have before canon.

I have some weeks.

Good! I'll need that time!

.

I'll need to play SAO and my body will be in a hospital for a good 2 years, and my prototype byology may cause a tad bit of confusion (AKA massive amounts of panic) amoungst the doctors and eventualy the world, so I need a good excuse for it!

I consume Kirito's computer, cellphone, printer, nerve gear, etc. I go to a goverment website and go throught the legal procedures to change my name to Tenno Mercer. Me deciding to change my own name out of the blue may raise some eyebrows, but not as much as caling myself "Tenno Mercer" when that isn't my name.

I also turn a good chunk of Kirito's/my room into an infested lab using my biomass. It looks disgusting with the infested tecnology and outgrows. I put "researsh" on it for it to be found when canon begins and my body is moved, it will explain that I am a mad scientist who atempet to enhance the human body with a handmade patogen inspired in cancer and tested on his own body witch caused it to severily mutate and was "GOD KNOWN HOW!?" sucessfull in it AND in cirurgycaly instaling tech in his own nervous system and pretty much becoming mush in the inside and still being able to live a normal life. I made sure that the BS researsh is just enought to make my body sound remotly plausible, but no one can steal the "researsh" and replicate it (I don't want to deal with the infested outside of Warframe). this will explain my biology, and I rather be seen as a madman blessed by god than a body snatcher alien.

I modifyed the nerve gear in me so it won't fry me in case my HP reaches 0 in SAO. My excuse for not going back to the material world beeing that the device is in my nervous system (or prototype mush equivalent) AKA can't be removed, and the game has no logout button. Of course, I'm also not telling anyone that my nerve gear won't fry me.

.

OK, I think that all urgents are down.

Now to planing.

The full-dive MMO known as SAO or Sword Art Online will open its servers in a couple of weeks, 10,000 players will log in and discover that the game's developer Kaiaba was a bit too entusiastic with making the virtual world more real.

AKA: no logout button and perma death to the avatar and the player's body IRL as well.

Failsafes against outside help and the only way to go back to reality is to beat the game, task that in canon took the players 2 years to acomplish and resulted in more then 6,000 deaths.

The game console (nerve gear) blocks comands to the nerves and read them at the same time, so the player can move in game wile not moving IRL.

Or so it is what it is believed.

In reality, the thing transports your very soul to the man-made universe of the game! Not even the creator of the device knows what he stumbled upon!

The fact that your soul is in the game normaly wouldn't cause anything to people in any way, shape or form but it will benefit me!

in the game, my body is a computer generated avatar, AKA no prototype powers for me other then my boosted brain. However, as I still have my soul with me, I'll still have acess to my void powers.

And the game won't even acuse me of haking! If anyone asks, I'll say it is a skill. *evil grin*

I also aready am beond a master swordsman, food and sleep are only psycological things in the game and I don't need either, I'm not under the treat of death, and overall, this will be GGEZ.

.

Now I will enjoy a break till the game's launch, enjoy some family time with my (sortoff) sister, repair some damge Kirito did in his life...

No, wait!

I'm going to a virtual world. Why don't I make a cephalon to help me?

In Warframe, cephalons are created by ripping someone's mind out of theyr bodies, shoving it into a computer, and rewriting it into an AI.

Why not make an AI from the start? The orokin wore afraid of sentient machines, so they decided to do this.

Is the result any diference from a sentient AI? Nope! This is why I'm making an AI and just caling it a cephalon!

I inspire myself in every single cephalon in Warframe instead of just one like Ordis and Simaris, I make the darn thing borderline a Cephalon Weave in itself! It used me quite a bit of biomass just to store the dam data being! I make sure it has internet conection and BANG, all that has any form of conection to the net is now my cephalon's toy!

Cephalon: "Hello world! This cephalon here is on-line! Mester, I have acess to SAO servers."

Me: "Good."

.

The System won't allow me to change the story in almost no way, shape or form, so unfortunatly, I can't (for exemple) void Sugo's soul before the finale of the fary arc. At least I can let a helmint-charger guarding Asuna before the creep make a move IRL, and have the cephalon corrupt his avatar's collision to make sure he never get's within 2meters from Asuna's(same for his goons).

Helmint-chargers in Warframe are a breed of infested pet. My powers don't let me make life, so they will just be biological robots piloted by the cephalon. They will have some of my prototype powers, but unfortunatly not all of them, and also, none of my tenno powers. They'll prety much just have some shapeshifting and good all round physical prowess. I make one to keep by my side right now, I'll have to keep it hiden in my room/infested lab till canon buuuut...*shrugs*.

Now that I think about it, I can just use the dog/alien/biorobot/thing to prevent the doctors from examining my body. I can just have it protect me from certain exams dog style AKA growl for the pearson to back off and bite them if they don't comply. No dogs allowed in the hospital? to bad, cause you won't be able to take this one from my side even if you're using a bulldozer!

Nice! Scrap the lab thingy, back to normal room. I can even get the dog to shapeshift into a normal pupy and take it out of the room. I'll say an internet friend gave it to me, and again, good luck to anyone who wants to trow this dog out!

I make an internet profile for the fake ID of my 'internet friend' and get into contact with Asuna and a few other members of the main cast, eventualy, all of the main cast will have hellmint-chargers disguised as random cub pets(I will do it slowly to avoid suspicion).

Before the pupies arrive, they will recieve a message more or less like this:

[From: Kubrow Kvat

hey, do you remember that I work with bio-engenering?

well, one of the progects i worked in was to make guard pets (100% animal friendly, don't wory), and I decided to give you one as a surprise gift :)

it should arrive in a day or2 ,hope you like it]

This will explain any 'oddities' from the pets.

Now I just have to restrain myself from using my prototype powers and wear a fake nerve gear when the time comes and I'm good to go.

.

(A/N: Gosh! Fiting into normal society is so much harder then the supernatural one!)

As the System won't let me off the big bads early, I guess that's all the prep work I can do.

*From outside the room* Suguha: "Brother, dinner's ready!"

Food! Right on time. All this prep left me just skin.(No. Not 'skin and bones', as I am literaly a 1.5mm hollow shell right now! I would have normaly chosen to shrink instead, but I have a human aperence to keep.)

Me: "Ok, I'm going down!"

Time for socialyzing and filling the biomass tank now, I hope I can get some good progress in these few weeks. (A/N: FEEL THE GRIND!!!)
