Sword Arts Online: Darkness

Chapter 9: Chapter 8 – Game into reality?



Third person POV

 The next morning, Roxas woke up to the sound of his phone alarm clock, nice and well. The morning outside his room window was nice and sunny. It was 6:30 a.m.

 So, he grabbed his phone, turned off the alarm, and stood up, before making his bed. After that, he went to his desk and sat down on the chair. After turning on the desk lamp, he grabbed one of his everyday pens and clipped it open, before opening his everyday journal notebook to the latest blank page. Then, he wrote his good-morning journal entry in it, before clipping his pen closed and closing his notebook.

Once that was done, he turned off the desk lamp, stood up, and went downstairs.

The other housemates are still sleeping at this hour, though.

 In the living room, Roxas is now watching TV while thinking about today's date. "Today was Saturday…" he thought in his mind, "…so that means I had a lot of time today and tomorrow for myself…" Then, he remembered his weekend task of buying some groceries for himself and his housemates, so he took note of that in a little notepad, before listing down what to buy.

 Later, after breakfast, at 7:44 a.m., Roxas was in his room writing his online story in a Microsoft Word document, which he would copypaste into the story platform online after writing out the chapter of it. The writing was good, and Roxas has ideas for his latest chapter for his story. Yeah, he has been writing stories as a young teenager, first on paper, and now on the internet. His mind was very creative at its best. After that, he copypasted the entire draft into the story platform online, made some grammatical edits, and published it, updating the story.

 Now, he took a 23-minute break, before doing some weekend homework for school. The homework is for Japanese social studies and ethics and physics. It took him 1 hour to do so, but at the end of it, he was done.

 After that, Roxas changed into his traveling clothes, grabbed his phone, notepad, and pen, and went out to a nearby supermarket a few blocks away to buy some groceries as promised. A bit later, at a supermarket, he bought some ingredients for cooking, as well as some eggs and biscuits, and paid for them. The total price was 10,500 yen, but he considered that as cheap. So, after that, he left the supermarket with a grocery bag full of his purchases.

 While walking back to his shared house, Roxas was humming happily, thinking about the happy days he will be making here in Japan. But, suddenly, a thunder crashed in the sky despite it being a sunny day. Roxas and the other bystanders heard that and were confused how that one is possible. "What…?" Roxas' mind asked.

Then, the blue sky became digitalized and pixelized, shocking them out.

 "What the…?" Roxas responded to this. "This is not good."

But before the young foreign student would move, creatures of different kinds started to appear in the streets, starting to chase bystanders.

Aincrad from Sword Arts Online had been brought into the real world in the most literal way possible.

Roxas was shocked to his heart and mind to see creatures roaming the streets and chasing people. "No way…"

Then, as the bystanders around him started to run for their lives, Roxas started to sprint towards his shared house as fast as he could.

Oh, no, Sword Arts Online had been brought into the real world, but with a dark twist in real life.
