Hi my name is Kazuto Kirigaya, but most people call me by my virtual avatar name "kirito". I played many games in my lifetime but this time i actually was a person in one. This is the story of how i died in a game and my avatar reincarnated into another one...

Underworld,cathedral. 100th floor final battle.

Me and the administrator were in a fierce battle in the cathedral, the 100th floor. Me and my best friend Eugeo climbed this tower to stop the administrator from doing all the wrongs that she has done. I was holding my black sword that i have yet to name and the sword of my best friend eugeo but another version made from his blood. The red rose sword. During the battle I took the form of my sao avatar and dual wielded to slay the administrator. Now all that was left was to help my friend that was near death eugeo…

Blood still continued dripping from my partner's brutally severed body, with long pauses between each drop. There weren't even minutes before his Life ran out.

Having reached Eugeo's side after my frantic advance, I first carried his lower half that had tumbled a distance away and perfectly joined them where they were severed to stop the blood.

And holding my left hand out to the wound, I visualized the image of a healing light.

The white light produced under my palm was faint to the point where it couldn't be seen unless one strained their eyes. But still, I earnestly put the light on and seal the wound.The red fluid, Eugeo's life, continued running from the severance and showed no sign of stopping. The priority level of the healing art was despairingly insufficient for the extent of the wound. My mind understood that; yet my hands moved relentlessly and I shouted.

"Stop... stop! Why!!"

Imagination determined all in the Underworld. Any miracle could be brought about if one wished hard enough. Wasn't that how it was?

I wrung out all my soul had and prayed, hoped, and wished. But Eugeo's blood still fell, a drop followed by another.

Overwriting by imagination was limited to objects' positions and outward appearances; it could not change numerical stats like priority level and durability—

That logic crossed a corner of my consciousness, but I refused to acknowledge it.

"Eugeo... come back to me! Eugeo!!"

I shouted once more. There was no response….there's only 1 thing i could think of at this point. I have to sacrifice my own life to save eugeo's……..

"Transfer human life..self to left.." i said as i felt my life being sucked away. So this is what death feels like...it hurts...this hurts way to much.

[resistance to pain required..]

I heard something but i put it off as me going crazy from losing life.

"K-kirito what are you doing.." a voice called out to me as my vision was starting to fade.

"I'm keeping you alive...you can't die" i replied weakly. I started to feel cold...maybe a effect from losing blood and life. I don't want to feel like this..

[resistance to cold required]

I started to feel warm again. What was happening….i I didn't have a clue. Now i was starting to feel hot...too hot!

[resistant to heat required..]

"Kirito stop. You don't have to sacrifice your life to save me!" My friend told me as my life was decreasing.

"But i do...don't worry you'll be fine. Your stronger than me after all…." i told eugeo calmly. This world will hopefully be fine now that the administrator is out the picture. But what about the dark territory...i'll just be back stronger than ever then….maybe dual wielding next time, I'll definitely get more sword skills and perfect sacred arts...maybe ill perfect my enchanted armament

[dual wielding skill, unique skill acquired]

[Sword skills acquired...unique skill]

[Sacred arts….error...magic arts acquired...renamed sacred arts..]

[enhanced armament….error...enhanced senses, enhanced strength...enhanced speed acquired….release collection data found….acquired]

Is somebody mocking me...maybe I'm really losing it. Then i felt eugeo trying to pull away from my hand to stop the art. I refused to let him let go.

"Eugeo..protect Alice okay..and the underworld okay?" I said smiling weakly. Come to think of it eugeo is capable of protecting the underworld for a while. He can perform all elements on one finger and use whatever that imagination power is...incarnation. Wish i could do that, it would be useful

[All elements acquired…]

[incarnation...error...imagination power acquired...incarnation data found….acquired]

It sucks i won't be able to take my sword with me...I didn't even get to name it yet….

[black long sword acquired….legendary weapon….divine object…]

"Kirito i need you… you're stronger than me...you're the strongest person i know...please don't leave me"

"Eugeo…..stay cool" i said the signature catchphrase/number 1 rule of the aincrad style. Never thought i would use it this way...random thought but what if i had all my powers from the other games...I would be unstoppable. The powers of quinella would be pretty useful to, what if i could steal powers….nah that's cheating, that's not my style. At least i can see all my friends for a bit...now that i think about it there all mostly girls. I'm thinking about the most random things before i die...hahaha…I'm glad eugeo guided me here….see you soon eugeo

[all past powers acquired…]

[scanning administrator quinella...acquired powers..]

[power steal acquired..]

[Passive skill harem aura acquired……]

[Unique skill great sage acquired..]

"Kirito..?...KIRITO!!!!" Eugeo yelled right before I collapsed.

I wish I was able to take Alice and eugeo with me to the real world, if i do die i hope i'll be reborn into someone a bit more aggresive..almost like a predator...

[Friends acquired…]

[Unique skill predator acquired]

Everything was dark...i should wake up in the real world now right...this is weird….where am i….did I actually die…..no i can't...then where am i…?

i guess i really am dead..
