Ryan tapped on the NerveGear as he thought about what was to come. It seemed amazing that soon he'd be standing inside of a game, one that wouldn't just be a game, but almost like another life. An adventure was a better explanation for it. "All right... Let's get going then... I have to be one of the first online so I can get the best armor as soon as possible!" He layed himself down onto his bed, putting the odd helmet on. "All right... instructions said..." He glanced to the booklet that had come with the NerveGear. He had left it on a nearby desk after reading it. "I think it said... Link start!" He watched the colored cylinders flew past, listening to the sounds. Seemed odd to put all of this before what could be the most amazing game he'd played yet. 

He waited through the system checks before going into the game. He looked around, watching the light from the sky pierce the clouds as if it were real life. "What? Jeez... did they just put a camera feed from the real world...?" He looked down at his hands, opening and closing them. "No... This is actually the game..." He couldn't help but smile as he thought about how amazing it would feel to stand up to monster after monster wielding... Now... What would he wield? He was thinking along the lines of a heavy weapon of some sort... He thought back, remembering the instructions from the SAO booklet, and swung his arm down in front of him. He looked through the menus, shortly finding the skills menu. "Alright... What do we have here... There's a lot of skills here..." As he scrolled down he seemed to find one that caught his attention [i]Two-handed axes, eh? Sounds good! Time to start fighting for one... and some... Heavy Metal Armor![/i]

He glanced around, noting some of the players around him. Some of them had instantly started running for the first place they could try out the game, so he didn't get a good glance at any of them, but he did see plenty of people still here admiring the features of the game, somewhat like he was doing. "Huh?" He raised an eyebrow as he saw someone having trouble with their balance. She seemed to be fixing it quickly though, and began to walk. He shrugged before looking at what he could of the horizon. In the distance he saw many buildings in between him and what looked like green fields, and that was where he would start fighting for his equipment. He began running as fast as he could, unsheathing his weapon as he did. The fight was about to begin!
