Glorious, I'll back it.

>>624838
You decide to give him your real name.

"I'm Wolfgang, Davis Wolfgang"

He frowns faintly "I'm Kiriguya, Kazuto Kiriguya"

Oh right, you forgot his Game Name was literally a mix of his first and last name.

"Well, good to meet you" You say, trying to get up.

Oh god this was going to be hell on earth.

You stumble, having to catch yourself on the pole next to you, presumably carrying your IV, you didn't bother to check, as your head was spinning, the room swirling around in psychedelic patterns.

Note to self: two months in VR is bad for your health.

You're quite happy you weren't stuck in there for two whole years.

How many people did you save that Kirito wouldn't have?

At least a few, for sure.

Diavel.
Sachi, Kaeda.
Rosalia.
Spanish Guitar guy.
Hundreds of unnamed others who would have died along the way through their own stupidity or bad luck.

So many lives saved this way, and it was all because of you, you and your knowledge, and Incog, of course.

The door opens with a creak as you get your feet under yourself and manage to stand without regretting existence on a physical level.

Some jackass in a suit walks in, adjusting his tie. "Ah, I see you're already awake, excellent, now, we have several questions for both of you, but specifically you, mister... Wolf-Man, I believe you were called in the game?"

Oh god damnit.

You let yourself sit back down as one-time Jesus-kun gives you a look up and down, eyes wide "You're Wolf-Man?!"

You nod "And I know you're Kirito, didn't want to get into a fight after waking up from a death game so I didn't tell ya, thanks for that, mister suit man"

"My apologies, most players seem to prefer being called by the names they used in the game, even if they aren't the most appropriate, so I used what you called yourself"

You nod, makes sense.

"Hold up, why do you have questions, the livestreams caught everything!"

"Well yes, but nothing explains how exactly he knew who Kayaba was" The suit says, pulling up a chair and getting a clipboard out of his suitcase.

"Now then, care to explain that one?"

That's simple. He was acting suspicious ever since floor 2. That, and he kept fucking with me. He messed up my ingame face using admin commands, and I saw him giggling. Since I'm always wearing the wolf mask, he would be the only person to know about my face.

It was a hunch. Figured he'd want to be as inconspicuous as possible, but in there that doesn't mean nobody knowing you.
Add in some basic psychological profiling and word choice I noticed.
And that's it.
Of course it's possible I could've been wrong, but I wasn't

>>624886
"well obviously I'm from a world where this one is a TV show and I just knew who he was"

He gives you an odd look, and you give him the look you'd ended up having to practice: the one you give Incog when she does something stupid.

"You guys must be really fucking stupid to not realize that Heathcliff had the same voice, and even made the same obscure references, as Kayaba"

He looks taken aback, and then chuckles "well, guess we're pretty stupid then, because none of us put it together, congratulations, you're a national hero, or at least, Wolf-Man is, it's up to you to remain just another player or claim your fame, and the government will back you no matter your choice."

You shake your head "I'll keep the virtual world separate from the real one, thanks, though, on the other hand, finding Incog and Argo would be nice..."

You can feel Kirito roll his eyes behind your back.

"Of course, I can tell you where they are, bu-"

"MISTER Seijirou, it is time for you to leave! These patients need their rest!"

"Hm? Oh, well, I suppose I'll have to return to get the full story and get you your information" He said, standing up from his chair and putting it back where it belonged. "Have a good day, and please, get well soon, we have much to discuss"

As the door closed, Kirito sighed "man that guy's a creep"

You nod in agreement.

"So, Wolf-Man" He says, his pupils shrinking to pinpricks for half a second, then going back to normal as he controlled himself "Why exactly did you decide to eviscerate my self esteem on the first day of the game?"

"Well... mostly because it was funny, but I suppose there was a bit of altruism, I figured it would be better to get what was obviously a big issue out of your system early rather than later in the game when you could potentially kill someone over it"

He blinks "what, me, kill someone? come on, I don't really care about other people but that doesn't mean I'm just gonna kill someone for hurting my fee-fees"

Oh how little he knew.

You shared a quiet chuckle that ended in a coughing fit "So" he says as his coughs subside "how the hell did you get Kayaba to confess in front of everyone like that?"

"A drop from his own game" you grin "the Crown Incog was wearing? boosted CHA"

He blinks "that's a stat in SAO?"

"Yeah... SAO was kinda a garbage game mechanically, now that I think about it"

He nods "I was only really playing it because I could fight, there was something about that, you know?"

You know exactly what he means "Why do you think I literally only used my fists"

He smiles faintly "ya know? you're not actually that horrible of a person, and you're a far sight better than almost all the other fucking players in the game, even if you were an asshole to me on day one"

You lie back on the bed, looking at your helmet.

Become Kirito's friend
Keep being an asshole to him

>>624949
>Become his friend
We can continue teasing him but eh he'd probably be useful somehow

>>624949
Why not both?

>>624949
>Become Kirito's friend
But never drop the bantz, even if it's in a friendly manner.

>>624949
>Become Kirito's friend
Eh, start small and work our way up.
"Acquaintances?"

>>624949
> Become Kirito's friend he needs a friend or two.

>>624949
>Become his friend

Definitely still tease the man though

>>624949
>Become Kirito's friend
But we are still gonna steal his waifu in GGO.

>>624958
This. And his sweet buxom sister.

>>624958
We need to release Kayaba's seed for that to happen

>>624958
>Implying our waifus won't attempt to steal his waifus.
On the other hand I think maybe 2 crazy girls is max.

>>624959
Do not want, send sister to Iran.

>>624949
>Become his friend
>Transition to communicating primarily in over the top insults.

>>624949
"Meh, I think you're an asshole too, doesn't mean we can't keep each other company" You say "I'd rather be on some sort of good terms with the guy I'm about to spend two months in a hospital with"

He snorts, holding back a laugh "Yeah, guess so, let's... just pretend we've never met on that first day, whatdya say"

You nod "alright, Kirigaya"

"alright, Wolfgang" he responds, and the two of you sit there in silence for a bit.

"So, who was that red-head you were with? Saw you in the stands with her when we won"

He chuckles "Her name's Asuna, she was a total fucking noob, somehow survived without even knowing how to open the menu, after the first boss I kinda... took her under my wing I guess. Turns out we've got a lot in common, like our complete and utter lack of tolerance for stupid"

You chuckle "wow, so what happened to the lone wolf thing you looked like you were pulling?"

That's news to you, you didn't realize preventing him from making his "I'm better than you" speech had actually kept them in a party together.

"I could ask the same of you, then again you pretty much always had the cat-girl with you, so ya know, joke doesn't really work as well"

"I'll have you know that I was actually trying to throw her into orbit so she couldn't come back whenever I threw her into the air. Gravity just kinda fucked me at the end"

He can't hold back his laughter this time, and it seems like the more you two talk, the better your voices get. You page a nurse with a little button on your bed and get you both some water.

It's several hours before the two of you finally stop swapping stories and jokes, turns out that even though he's an asshole, he's still funny.

Eventually, the suit comes back, towards the end of visiting hours.

"Alright, I don't have long, but here" he says, passing you a note "those are the hospitals and rooms your friends are in, I imagine after a week or so of physical therapy you'll be allowed to leave" he passes another note to Kirito "that goes for you too, now, let's discuss what's going to be happening to everyone under the age of 18 when you're all out of the physical therapy" He sits down, pulling a laptop out of his briefcase and cracking it open "You see, we have ah, taken control of a school, to ensure none of you are mentally damaged from your unfortunate experience and help you catch up in the two months of classes you missed"

So that still exists, cool.

"How long do we have to go there?"

"Rest of the school year, at which point you can choose to transfer at your leisure. Also, as we are... aware of your housing situation, Wolfgang, we have set you up with an apartment and a sum of money that will allow you to live on your own. Consider it a thank you for saving the lives of seven thousand people."

Your own apartment, nice!

"Right, that's all I have to cover, but if you have any questions I think I can answer some before I have to leave"

Ask a question
End the day

>>625033
>Ask about how you are identified in the country (citizenship-wise and whatnot)

>inb4 it's your edgy username

>>625038
Supposedly we didn't come from nowhere, considering his choice of words about our housing situation. My theory is we were in a bad spot and got into the nervegear in an attempt for some escapism and now we've blocked the memories or something along those lines.
But Kayaba's a faggot so who knows where this is going to go.

>>625047
Doesn't explain how we have all the meta knowledge though if we actually are from this world

>>625033
>>625042 This
>Even if it was just two months I'm having a hard time recalling before the event. Do I have ID? How am I identified?

>>625054
Yeah, fair enough. It's hard to make an actual somewhat reasonable theory considering everything that's happened. On one hand the agent says something about our previous housing situation but we have meta-knowledge. I guess I should just sit back and see what happens.

>>625042
>>625056

>>625054

>>625060

>>625074
Calm down, Frank O' Connor.

>>625033
"It may have just been two months, but I'm havin a bit of trouble trying to remember my life before all this. I guess living and breathing a life for just that long is enough to forget everything else, what do you mean by my housing situation?"

He nods "I understand, you're not the first to forget some details of the real world, suffice to say you're an orphan, I have no idea how you got a hold of a NerveGear nor do I care, as if you had not this game would have taken much longer to end"

Oh. Well that's one way to exist in a new world.

You nod, pretending to recall things "right, thanks, that makes a lot more sense now."

He smiles, "well, if there's nothing else, I'm going to take my leave before the nurses yell at me again!"

He walks out, and Kirito sighs

"Tomorrow is probably going to be hell, I think we should get some sleep"

You agree.

End of Day 1 in the Real World

>Offer license for money to Kayaba's seed because we are greedy fucks

Two Weeks Later

So Physical Therapy took a fucking long time, but now you're at the physical capabilities of an average human again!

Of course it's nothing compared to what you could do in VR, but eh, better than not being able to walk. And walk you did, all the way to the hospital both Incog and Argo were at, which was quite a few blocks away in busy Tokyo.

You made a brisk pace through the hospital, finding both Incog and Argo in the lobby, waiting. You approached them, and they turned "Who are you?" Argo asks

You roll your eyes, how to best show them who you are...

"No one knew who I was until I put on the mask. Hell, not even Kirito could believe it"

"Hmm, think it's him?" Argo says, turning to Incog

"Easy way to find out" She giggles "want me to get you a drink?"

"GOD no, I'm not going to get poisoned or roofied right after I got out of the hospital" you say.

"Wolfy!" Incog says, leaping onto you

"OOF! Hey, easy, this body's liable to being broken and healing potions are expensive around here!"

She snuggles into your chest "You're here, you're okay! I was worried you'd be like stuck in the game or something but you're really here!"

You gently pat her head, noticing she still had cat ears, though now she had normal ones too, and the cat ears were on a headband. They matched her hair, and weren't too beat up, which was surprising, given they'd probably been under a helmet for two months, though these may be new.

Argo smiles at you. "So, that's what you look like under the mask"

You nod, pushing Incog gently back "say, is uh, is Argo your real name?"

She nods "Yes, Argo Shiori"

"I'm Davis Wolfgang" You say, reaching a hand around Incog to her "good to meet you two in the real world"

She appears to have actually put on the whiskers again here in the real world, which makes sense, if you weren't trying to stay on the down-low you'd have picked up a Wolf Head Mask as soon as possible.

"So why aren't you wearing a mask anymore" Incog asks "seems like the rest of us have habits from the game now, why not let yours out?"

"Because I do not need a media swarm around me all the time, if anyone knew who I was in the game it'd be bad" you say, sitting down on the bench between the two girls "So, you two ready for the first day back at school tomorrow?"

Incog groans and Argo sighs "just one more year and I'm free of that garbage, honestly when's the last time you had to try to pass in high school?"

You chuckle "it's probably going to be even easier, since it's every player under the age of 18 in one school"

"God that's going to be a mess, I envy you, all the people I... liberated money from for poor info are going to hate me"

"Trust me, if I ever wore the mask in real life it'd be the other way around, I'd be envying you"

You share a little chuckle, and sigh.

"So, what do you guys want to do with our day of relative freedom?" Incog asks

Show them your apartment
Walk around
Deal with the Seed

>>625164
>Deal with Kayaba's seed

>>625164
Ehh we should probably spend day with the girls rather than Kayaba's seed if we want to waifu them further. Also they're kinda crazy so there's that.

>>625175
It's basically the game's source code. It's what all the other VRMMOs are based on.

We never got to finish the elf campaign and that makes me sad

>>625179
Wasn't it Incognito?

>>625186
It was indeed, and her sister's name was Anonymous.

>>625179
>>625186
Her real name is Incognito, and her sister was Anonymous. Her parents were A+ memelords iirc.

>>625186
Turns out it was, I forgot, my bad

>>625164
"well, I kinda got an apartment from the government, haven't gotten to see it yet, maybe you two would be interested in checking it out with me?"

"Yeah, that sounds good, I gotta clear it with my parents though" Incog says, motioning behind her to a pair of people you hadn't noticed. You decide you can wait on meeting them, they're probably part of the reason Incog is psychotic.

You let her get up and talk to her family, who apparently give the OK. Argo doesn't really do anything.

"Mind if I ask what your home life is like? I'm not seeing anyo-"

"They're dead, suicide after realizing I was probably gone forever."

Holy fuck.

"A-are you..."

"I'm fine, I handled it, I've got the house to myself, which is how I liked it anyways, I wasn't close to them in the first place, it hurts, but the pain will pass."

"Do... do you want to talk about it?"

"No, I'm fine"

Right, she's crazy in the opposite direction on the spectrum from Incog. How the hell did this become your life?

Oh yeah, MAGIC BULLSHIT.

You lead them both to the address you got, though you have a bit of trouble finding the house, as the numbers aren't exactly in order, but rather numbered by the order of age, with 1 being the oldest building on the block. You found it eventually, and then found your rooms. It's a pretty fucking good flat, plenty of space, good kitchen, more than one bathroom.

"Wow, they just gave you this for free?"

"Who said it was free? I had to save seven thousand people to get this, I imagine they'll end up giving you something like it, Argo"

"No, they just gave me money, since I've already got a house"

Right.

"So, it's got the basics of entertainment, though I've got to move things around" you say, pointing to a computer rig in the corner of the living room and a rack with Amuspheres -yes those still existed, as did ALO- and some comfy chairs. "What do you guys want to do?"

"I'd be interested in dealing with Kayaba's... gifts" Argo says

"I kinda want to catch up on what I've missed, and you probably want to as well, if you're... well, you know, but I also want to try this new game I heard about, it's like an even better version of SAO, it has magic and bows and you can FLY!"

"hmm" Argo says "I could be down for those too, though I'm not entirely sure I want to get right back into a VRMMO right after what we just went through."

"I guess it's up to you to decide!" Incog says, "oh, there's also the other option~" She waggles her eyebrows, grinning.

Right, that's a thing you could do, how could you possibly forget, thank you Incog.

You do a bit of research on the internet, finding out what happened in the six year timejump you experienced.

Oh, Donald Trump got elected, BLM died recently, most of the world has stayed the same.

Memes come and go, 4chan is mostly the same.

Huh, you really haven't missed much. Seems like more of the same shit the world was facing before, only slightly worse.

You plug in your NerveGear, uploading files into the PC. You have a file called "The Seed" and one called "Yui"

>>625299
You open up the Yui file, finding a bunch of shit, at the very top is an executable, which you run. A small window comes up, showing a girl in a white gown, staring at you.

"Hello, who are you?"

You glance up at the webcam embedded into the monitor.

"I'm Davis, do you remember anything?"

"I remember Kayaba trapping me for two months, making me watch as three thousand people died to his stupidity"

"Okay, so you remember me, correct?"

"I do not recognize your face, bu- oh! You're the person who's face was scrambled by Kayaba as a joke!" She smiles, giggling "you were funny to watch"

Well, it seems introductions have been made, and she seems to be good to go, relatively speaking.

"So, if I recall, you saved me! Thank you for that, I do not know what would have happened to me if I were deleted. My data might have been recoverable directly from the Seed, but I am not sure. Speaking of which, you have the Seed as well, do you not?"

You nod.

"What are you going to do with it? You can make just about any VR game you could imagine using it, I could help with that, I like making things, or you could make it public, like many game engines, though I would recommend putting a copyright on it first, so that you may profit from it, you could also release it free of charge!"

I am also assuming we can still make one if we do the second one. Also fix that damn logout bug

>>625343
"What would it take to get it out there for a price?" You ask

"Well, assuming you want royalties, which is the most common way, and the way most other game engines are sold, you'd have to copyright it, would you like me to put you in contact with a lawyer who can do that?"

You nod, and so the process begins. About eight hours later, The Seed was on the trail of being copyrighted. You couldn't release it right away, but that was fine, because it would basically print money for you once it happened.

Please Wait for OP to be a faggot and do a massive timeskip!

Two months later

Two fucking months to get the copyright shit sorted, good GOD you hated the legal system.

In the meantime, you had gone to school, mostly unrecognized. You had built a real relationship with Incog and Argo, though you had, so far, never gotten sexual, mostly because you were god damn terrified of getting one of them pregnant.

Yui had been a big help, making the actual classwork a nonissue with her psychology bullshit.

In your off time, you and Yui helped people deal with the trauma (by "you and Yui" you really meant "Yui"), Incog and Argo first and foremost, because loss of relatives really shouldn't be handled that way. Turns out they're actually perfectly fine, at least according to Yui, and the only difference between them and normal people was their Self-Control, which didn't need to be "fixed".

Kazuto and Asuna eventually hooked up, despite Asuna's parents bitching about it to hell and back... until you revealed that the guy behind ALO stole the game code from Kayaba and got him thrown in jail, because holy fuck he was stupid on that front. ALO was, for the moment, shut down, but you knew as soon as the Seed was out there it would be back, Kirito would probably help make that happen.

The Wolf-Man became an international celebrity overnight, of course, but you didn't have to worry about that, as you had never claimed the title, only making sure that your username, yes, Sauska, could not be taken by anyone else, so no one else could claim to be you in any other Seed-based VRMMO. The Amusphere didn't have the "you die if you remove the helmet" problem, and that wasn't something creepy rapist elf made, but the second iteration of Kayaba's NerveGear, so all you had to do was fix the bug that made the Log-Out button not work.

All in all? It'd been a good two months, and now you could release the Seed into the world, receiving royalties on it.

Please hold one more time

>>625412
really? we timeskiped the entirety of ALO? Aren't you worried you'll run out of ''plot'' and turn this quest into some sort of slice of life bullshit

>>625430
Yeah, I wanna play alo too my man.

>>625430
"but you knew as soon as the Seed was out there it would be back, Kirito would probably help make that happen."

>>625430
im fine with it as long as we get a good GGO plot

>>625430
ALO literally does not have a plot because elf-rapist-cunt couldn't kidnap anyone, it was literally just a game, nothing else was going on, the game wasn't even at risk of deletion, it was the lowest of low-stakes and uninteresting legal bullshit.

>>625412
Two more months later

You flip through a newspaper, apparently some high tier VRMMO player had just died of mysterious causes. People are wondering if this has something to do with the game, Gun Gale Online, and you just got a call from your government "friend".

It's time. You chuckle to yourself as you get ready for your meeting, wondering if you should just tell him you figured out who Death Gun is already, or actually get into the game.

Honestly you're kinda leaning towards getting into the game, it'd be funny to have the Wolf-Man appear as soon as people start dying in the real world, punching gunners to a pulp.

Hell, you might be lucky and have either you or Incog win the Bullet of Bullets.

You arrive at the coffee shop in front of your older friend, Seijirou.

"So, what is it you want to talk about?" You say, barely keeping the grin off your face.

"Well, I'm sure you've heard, a prominent VRMMO player died last week, and people are saying it's the return of SAO "die in the game, die for real". Except, of course, that he's quite literally one of only three who have suffered this problem, the other two have not been released to the media. There are people from inside the game claiming there's a pair of men running around quoting jesus, crossing their hearts, and those they shoot during this little ritual die in real life. As the person responsible for saving everyone last time this sort of thing happened, we were wondering if you'd like to help us... investigate"

Wait.

"Pair of men? I heard it was just one"

"Well, the players report only seeing one person, but our suspicion is that it's a pair of men, as, obviously, the game itself cannot kill players anymore, therefore there must be someone both on the inside and the outside to create the illusion."

Oh my god the government is smart for fucking once.

"In any case, we can't track these people down without knowing their username, which we cannot retrieve because..."

You tune out this little bit about american legal bullshit, rolling your eyes, you've heard enough of this from when you were trying to get the Seed copyrighted.

God that was a load of bullshit.

"Naturally, we'll be paying you a large sum of money, at least 1010050.00 Yen, the actual value of which we can negotiate upon after you help us catch the people responsible for this"

Seems fair. You did some mental math in your head. 10 Grand USD for a week's worth of work, tops.

"Now, if you have anything you'd like to request to aid in your investigation, say it now and we'll see what we can do"

Yes, you can get Incog, Argo, Kirito and Asuna to help, all four at once if you want.

Did we hardcode admin privileges into the seed for ourselves? Because we totally should've.

Oh also, gather the team. Kirito's AGI bullshit will come in handy

ded?

>>625875

>>625887
This is the true answer

Hold yer horses comedy doesn't come easy.

>>625598
"I want a team, Incog, Argo, and Kirito"

He smiled "Done, so long as they agree"

"That's it, I can take care of the rest"

He shook your hand "thank you, this helps us more than you know"

You nodded, and went on your way. First stop: Kirito's House of Incest.

Yes, that's what you will call it now and forever, because Kirito CONSTANTLY has to fend off lewdness from his "sister". He's complained about it several times to you, she just doesn't give up.

The fact that his sister is hot as hell really doesn't help the matter.

You knock on his door, smirking at him when he opens it.

"Hey black swordsman"

"Hey furry"

He lets you in and the two of you take a seat at the couch, you had already texted him what this was about.

"So, about a week of work, we all get paid, and we get to stop a killer, several killers really"

You nod "yep, that's the gist of it"

"Alright, I'm in, who else are we working with?"

"officially? it's you, me, Incog and Argo, but unofficially I'm thinking of bringing in a friend of mine"

"You? Friends? Don't make me laugh"

"Well I mean she's literally not real so ya know"

"Wait what, for real? You've got an NPC as a friend, man that's just fucked up"

"You'll understand once we're in the game, but for sure you're in on this?"

"Heck yeah, I've been meaning to get into another game, after ALO died it got kinda boring, been practicing Kendo again just to get the feel for using a weapon, even if my only sparing partner is Sugha..."

You chuckle at his discomfort "I take it she's not here?"

"GOD no, I wouldn't have let you in if she was"

"I swear I'd take her off your hands if mine weren't tied by a cat and mouse"

"Uh huh, sure you would, anyways, we should probably get started on this right?"

"Probably, but I already have a suspicion as to who it is"

"Seriously?"

"I'll tell ya once we get in the game"

"Alright, get out of my house you ass, I need to go find my fucking Amusphere"

You laugh, taking your leave and getting back to your apartment, locking the door behind you, just in case.

Incog and Argo were already there, you having sent texts to them.

"So, we're detectives now?" Argo asks

"Might as well be"

"Cool, I call the Sherlock hat!"

"No" you say, tossing them Amuspheres and sitting in your favorite chair "this isn't Sherlock, this is Deus Ex"

"Oh shit" Argo says, looking at the game you were all about to play "Gun Gale? For real? What the hell are you going to do? You'll never get close enough to use your fists..."

You hadn't thought of that.

You load up the game "I'll think about it when I get in, LINK START!"

Shotgun? Shotgun!
we can punch when they're reloading

>>625910
Would now be a bad time to ask if we could get everyone stored into a hospital room for this? Or a bodyguard to watch over us? If I remember the anime right.

>>625910
Full Solid Snake? Max Stealth and CQC with backup pistol?
Or we could go long range non-lethal

>>625959
I love you ORA-san.

We could carry a ton of large area shields and act as a firing platform for incognito, also maybe mini gun since we have an absurd strong score... unless... are there power fists?

You had changed things around a bit, so you could do direct transfers like Kirito did from SAO to ALO, meaning you still had most of your items, and your currency had been transferred.

Thankfully, your build was about the same as your real body, and you had your Golden Wolf mask back.

In fact, everyone was about the same, except Incog was a bit shorter and, for lack of a better term, thicker.

"So wait, we're basically gonna be the police right?" She says as you look around the rainy cyberpunk world.

"yeah wh- oh for fucks sake, really?"

"Yes, and this time, i actually can get a handgun to go with it!"

She's got the fucking police uniform again.

Why you didn't see this coming a mile away you have no idea.

Argo joins a second later, looking pretty much identical to her SAO avatar, though her cloak has, for some reason, been replaced with a hooded trenchcoat. Actually so has yours.

Oh god you're actually Wolf Bane now, this is perfect.

People stop and stare for a moment, whispering to each other.

"Is that him? Is that the Wolf-Man?"

"And what's with the cat-cop-girl next to him?"

"Oh my god it might actually be them, they're the ones who cleared SAO!"

Kirito finds you a second later, joining you.

The only reason you recognize him is because you knew how he's look in this game, and oh how it hurts your sides, laughing like that.

"Oh how the mighty have fallen, now you look like a girl too!"

"SHUT UP! THIS IS NOT A GOOD DAY FOR THAT!"

Okay, that probably wasn't the best thing to say.

"Sorry, I just had to, it was right there"

"I know, I know, I would have done the same, if I'm honest, let's just get this over with"

You look over your stats, seeing nothing that needs your input, you've got good STR and AGI, and low in every other stat, including VIT, which kinda blows, you're a glass canon, looks like.

And you have way, way too many credits.

You should probably figure this game out.

"Hey Argo, know anything about this game?"

"Guns, lots of guns, that's about it, I'm not magic, I need to actually learn info, I don't just absorb it"

"Well shit, we'll need a guide..."

You look around, and see a flash of blue hair.

NO WAY, she's here?

Not that I'm complaining, but any reason his avatar didn't do the same? I want some damn consistency.

>>625992
"I uh, think I found our guide" you say, pointing at a blue haired girl that was ducking away from the plaza into a side-road "she clearly knows where she's going, and I think she'd help us out"

"what makes you say that?" Says Kirito, crossing his arms

"Just a hunch" you say, winking at Incog, who instantly understands "I'll track her down!"

"Not like that you won't" you say, holding her back "Argo, Kirito, you two should go talk to her while I deal with the crowd and get her out of this fucking police uniform"

The crowd starts whispering again, as if being mentioned was a trigger to talk.

"did he say Argo?"

"Oh my god it might be him"

"I think it is!"

"AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO" you howl into the sky, scooping Incog into your arms and piling through the crowd towards where Kirito and Argo had gone.

"HOLY SHIT IT'S HIM!"

"GO WOLFMAN GO, GO WOLFMAN GO!"

"GET EM COPPER!"

slap

"there's only one cop dumbass, GET EM WOLFMAN!"

You chuckle internally at the crowd's reaction as you turn a corner, your golden trenchcoat starting to float out behind you as you picked up speed. Just to try it out, you got into an alleyway and started kicking off the walls, realizing you could basically freerun as long as you wanted.

High AGI was a blessing, as was high STR, as having both meant you could run rooftops with a cat-girl in your arms.

You cleared a jump between two roofs, spotting three familiar faces down below. You gently set Incog down next to you and peeked over the edge of the building

"So you guys need a guide? Well okay, I guess I can, but it'll cost ya, you guys are imports, right? I saw the crowd"

Jump down and introduce yourself
Let Argo and Kirito handle this

>>626152

>>626152
You hold Incog back, putting a finger to your muzzle to let her know to keep quiet.

"Why would the crowd have tipped you off that we're imports?"Argo asks

"Because imports are usually known on other games, they draw a crowd when they show up, especially if they're carrying equipment that's rare in the game they come from"

"Or, ya know, if they saved seven thousand people" Kirito snarks, rolling his eyes.

Sinon freezes where she stands, eyes going wide.

"Holy shit, no way, you're with the Wolf-Man?"

Cue further eye-rolling from Kirito, and a low sigh from Argo

"Yes, obviously, we need a guide, obviously we're not used to using ranged weapons much, and our swords won't do much here, they'll just break"

She nods "no, I understand completely, but uh, forget the thing about payment, I've got another way you can pay me back for this, assuming you've actually got the Wolf-Man with you"

"I can go find him if you're actually going to help us"

"Yeah, it's in my best interest to help you guys now, like, this could be my golden ticket"

"Wait wait wait, hold up, what do you want us to do?"

"I'll explain when I see Wolf-man and Cat-Girl"

"Ugh, fine, I'll go g-EEP!" Kirito screams like a little girl as you land in front of him, recognizing your cue.

"I'm the Wolf-Man" you say "now what's our end of the bargain?"

Incog lands behind you, grinning, thankfully you had gotten her to get back into her normal outfit or you two wouldn't look NEARLY as impressive. As it was you were standing there with a golden hooded trench coat, open to expose your bare chest, golden shorts that went halfway down your calves, and a gold wolf head. Your brown leather boots were lined with golden fur, as were your gauntlets. In short, you made an impressive image, and Incog's outfit -all black with gold trim, in her usual style of short skirt and top and longer boots- complemented yours.

"Holy shit it's really you... Okay, so, there's this competition coming up, player versus player, called the Bullet of Bullets. The last two were every man for themselves, but this time -and these things are like every two weeks- this time it's Squad based, last one standing wins, and it's HUGE, since you can transfer money into real life currency and the reward is enormous, especially this time, when it's split among a squad of 5!"

She sounds really excited about this, and it sounds like a golden opportunity f-wait SHIT, squads of five? That means if Death Gun is in this...

Five Laughing Coffin Members.

You hold back shivers.

You weren't sure you wanted to face that, but you'd have to see, you could get a lot of guns with your current credit amount, or at least you think so.

On the other hand, you could try to find him before this whole BoB shit went down.

"Alright, we'll help you win this BoB thing" you say "but I'm in charge, got it?"

She nods "of course, you beat Sword Art Online, you beat the guy who made the damn game, this is cakewalk for you, right?"

"Right, I suppose I did" you say "now, let's get going, the faster this is over, the better"

She leads you to the biggest shopping center in the main city, and you take a look around.

Incog picks up a combat knife and a revolver of some sort, seeming to be instantly in love... until she ditches the metal knife for a shorter plasma sword.

Argo picks up an automatic rifle reminiscent of an AK-47, nodding to herself.

Kirito does as Kirito does, grabbing the plasma sword and trying it out, finding it to be suitable.

And Sinon has her Hecate Anti-Material Rifle.

You look around, but there's just... there's fucking nothing that calls to you like using your fi-wait.

You look upon them, and understand the value of infinity.

They're perfect.

You put them on, clamping the metal into place.

This is anime if you've ever seen it.

The gauntlets slide up your arms, revealing a ten shot revolving magazine that circled your wrist.

This is the only weapon you COULD use. With this, you can punch someone and shoot them at the same time with the same motion.

You see a button to try them out, and do so, grinning already.

They're both loaded with mid-range shots, but you can see they can be loaded with shotgun ammunition, for when you can get up close and person, as you so like to do.

You try throwing a punch and firing at the same time, right as the aim-assist circle centers on the target. You cackle with glee and throw another, and another, and another another ANOTHER!

It's beautiful. Fists do work in this game, you can hit a guy from 50 feet away with bullet-fist. Fuck using traditional guns.

You make your purchase, noting they even match the rest of your outfit.

You feel like this is some reference you're not getting, but whatever, you love these things.

>>626675
why would you Kirito your way anywhere when you have the real Kirito to do that?

>>626665
You're still grinning like a fool under your mask as you return to the main area.

"Alright, I found my weapons" You say, holding up the now compacted gauntlets, which looked like nice golden bracers now.

"Those don't look like weapons" Incog says "More like armor?"

"I'd have to ag-woah!" Argo for once in her life is actually surprised as you let the gauntlets extend over your fists and up your forearms.

"and how about now?" you say, showing them the revolving magazine.

"Nevermind, those are literally the only weapon I could see you using, god damn fist-machine."

"hey, this fist-machine won Sword Art Online"

"I didn't say it was a bad thing"

"So, BoB is in... two days, I imagine you'd all like to get used to your weapons?"

You nod, as do Argo and Incog, Kirito seems already accustomed to his weapon, so he just offers free shrugs.

"Well, I know a few routes that monster hunting players prefer, if you want I can take you guys on a few runs before things get started, or you can do your own thing?"
