The life of a Beater isn't an easy one; nobody seems to understand though.

"I… sorry. I just… I hate this." He looked at the floor between us. "I hate the misinformation, the lies. I hate having to pretend you're someone you're not, and I hate having to pretend the real you is some evil monster in front of other people!" "The real me… huh? The 'real me' died a long time ago. No sense feeling sympathy for a dead girl." (Death game GGO, femKirito, yuri)

Assassination comes easy to me. Still, this assignment might just be the hardest challenge I've ever faced. Even if it means killing my Mach 20 teacher, I'll graduate from this classroom...

A close friend. A less than proud Beta tester. Taisuke Ishoyama, or Taiyama, logged into SAO halfheartedly, before realizing he had to do his very best to keep himself and his best friend Asuna Yuuki alive. He makes it his duty to fight by her and battle to the end, and be the spear at her side. (More Details on profile)

The Black Swordsman was the Solo Player, walking the path of a lone warrior after being branded a beater. The Arctic Swordsman was the opposite, always helping others and sticking together in a team. What would happen when these two meet? Would the Arctic Swordsman help the Black Swordsman redeem himself? Or would they both fall to the will of the system?

I'm good at what I do because I know where my limits fall. However, there are things that are just plain impossible, no matter how talented someone may be - and this time, I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew.

With a scarring past and an uncertain future, special operatives Kazuto Kirigaya and Shino Asada must find their own place in the world, together. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Sword Art Online or the cover. T to be safe. CONTINUED BY STRIDERM8

Life is a series of decisions and choices, and there's no changing the past. But what if we could look through the mirror, where different choices were made?

The world was a dark, cruel place. That's what Kirito would say if you asked him. Humans were despicable as well, though being a cold-blooded killer, he doesn't have much room to talk. He and his partner, his best friend Sinon, fight to better this world. But a change is coming, and the very reason they fight may be shaken by its foundations. Cover not mine! [under reconstruction]

This short story is set around 23 days before the conclusion of the Mother's Rosario arc, and focuses on the battle between Kirito and Yuuki. Since neither of them have ever been shown fighting all-out in the original series, this short story aims to pit the two together at their maximum potential. Find out whether "Dual-Blades" or "Mother's Rosario" is superior.

Strength. Kazuto has it. Asuna has it. The woman I love has it. So, what is it? ...I'm, uh, asking for some friends. Totally. Describe them? ...Uh, one's about this tall, carries a big sniper rifle. The other's really, really good with a sword. Know them?

I never understood the concept of right and wrong. After all, in a world where truly living people are scarce and the undead seem to lurk around every corner, notions of whether killing them is right or wrong are usually taken with a grain of salt. (AU, eventual Kiri/multi, rating may change to M in the future)

A collection of short stories taking place in the Nightblade universe. Both canon and non-canon stories are included - if a story is non-canon it will be mentioned at the top. Reading Nightblade and Nightblade II - Wings of Vengeance is suggested and in fact highly recommended due to spoilers.

We're back from Aincrad. Well, most of us. 300 players are still asleep, and of those 300, only one matters to me. So when I find out something that might be the reason why Asuna's still asleep, what the hell do you expect me to do? Stand by and watch? Hardly. I take what I want, and right now I want her awake. Nothing will stop me or Kazuto from accomplishing that goal. Nothing.

Kirito? Asuna? They've got it made - fighting skills, popularity, notoriety... the list goes on and on. And who's that, in the back of the frame, just slightly out of focus? Why, that's me, of course. I've got intelligence, and that's about it. Surviving the Death Game's gonna be tough.

Kazuto was always exceptionally talented, but limited by his own idea of kindness. Having been corrected at an early age, he excels through life without much of a purpose. Now trapped in a rather gruesome death game of his own choice, he will attempt to break though it as Kirito, the famed Prince of Swords. Kirito/Multi

Kirisuna AU. The year is 2024, and East Asia (including Japan) has plunged into an apocalypse of the undead. When a young teenage boy and the daughter of a CEO are joined together by the perilous circumstances, they will realize that there is more to this calamity than survival. Rated T for violence and language. Will contain fluff and angst.

Kazuto wakes up from SAO to find a Tokyo ridden with blood and mobs in the streets, a civil war breaking out against a totalitarian government. He leads a group of rebels, against the Wolf Brigade, loosing friends like he did in SAO. Through it all, he wants one thing: to find Asuna. Kazuto and Asuna also meet a boy who appears more Wolf than man...a monster. (AU) (KiritoXAsuna)
