Prologue

Falling

I was falling…falling…falling…

Everything was pitch black. It was cold. It almost felt like I was nothing.

That's right, I fell into that black hole. And now I'm dying…

I'm sorry Holly.

I moved my fingers, trying to feel for the blade that was still supposed to be in my hand. But there was nothing. I tried opening my eyes, and this bright light was blinding me.

Wait, what's going on?

I was actually falling, and the ground was coming to meet me.

"OH SHI-"

And then everything went black again…

Hello everyone, and welcome to my crossover of SAO and my own series, No Land Beyond.

Apologies for the really short Prologue, but it's supposed to be a really short insight into the series. Chapter 1 is where I'll start introducing the main character, where he starts, and lay out his journey. I'm not going to reveal a lot about my series until later, as you don't need to know a lot about it at the beginning. It has the same premise as SAO, trapped in a Virtual World, die in the game, die in real life etc.

This will take place during Alicization. The main character's journey will begin a week before Kirito's, which is really just 5 minutes in the real world. No, this isn't a rehash of Alicization. Kirito's journey will run parallel to the main character's until they meet. And then the story will start to go into it's own original spin.

Don't expect a standard upload schedule, as I am rather busy IRL and with FB Rewrite, as that one is my priority.

So until next time, Stay Cool.

EDIT: Yes, this is different to the original prologue. I have explained why in Chapter 9.
