Conception Online

Prologue: 'Babymaking' Online...?

The, by now, very familiar visage of multicolored light vanished from the boy's view, a gentle chime informing him that he had both Logged In successfully. A quick look at his hands and body, from what he could see at least, let him confirm that his account conversion had been apparently successful too.

Of course, the following familiar voice was what finished confirming it.

"Ah, Onii-chan!" happily called Leafa as she walked up to Kirito, the boy turning around to greet him with a smile. "We appeared just beside each other? Lucky!"

"Yeah, I wasn't expecting that either..." commented the gamer while looking at the mostly white uniform his adoptive sister was wearing, and how the usual 'flashy' ribbon that kept her ponytail up had been replaced by a 'normal' white one. "Maybe it's something related to us logging from the same IP?"

"I wouldn't know...this place looks nice enough, though." smiled the blonde while walking out of the small structure and looking up at the beautiful island they were on, the forests somehow mixing perfectly with the slightly futuristic-looking city in its center. "...is there really something fishy going on with this game?"

"That's what Kikuoka said...though honestly, I'm hoping he's wrong. One Beta Test ending up with something crazy and unbelievable happening in the last month is more than enough."

Leafa let out a nervous chuckle at that, though honestly, Kirito couldn't really be blamed for his words. After all, even if all the things they went through in 'Sword Art: Origin' made them closer and also resulted in Premiere and Tia becoming part of their strange group (Family? Could they be kinda called that at this point?), they could all honestly do without being involved in another virtual doomsday scenario anytime soon.

Or ever, if they could help it.

The only reason they were in that 'world', 'Star Warriors Online', at all was because Seijirou Kikuoka had asked Kazuto for help once again. Apparently, the company behind the Beta for this new game had appeared 'out of nowhere', and the information on them was extremely limited, plus some 'worrying anomalies' had been reported...

In the end, if only to get the man off his back, the black-haired boy had accepted, but not before talking it out with everyone else. All of them, after some effort, had managed to get into the Beta and were planning on meeting there that day very soon...well, except for Seven (Nanairo, that is). Girl was busy trying to find a way to subtly bring the Twin 'Goddesses' to that world without anyone noticing. Yui and Strea were luckier in that regard, as the latter had found out she could use her ALO account to transfer without issue if she used the Beta Invitation they had been given, and her 'big sister' was going to follow right behind hidden within their similar data (Reason why she currently wasn't there with her 'papa').

He and Suguha had actually Logged in a bit earlier because the nerves (And excitement) had been too much for him, and his cousin had found him just as he tried to subtly Log In by himself.

"Still...what's with these school uniforms?" asked the busty girl while looking down at her attire, pulling on one side of her blouse (Which did 'interesting' things to her noticeable assets) with a frown. "Wasn't this supposed to be an adventure/fantasy game?"

"The info was a bit limited, but yes, it's supposed to. I'm guessing these are more 'military' than school uniforms, though. And there is also supposed to be some kind of 'summoning mechanic' to get creatures that fight at your side or something...it truly sounds quite exciting..."

"...Onii-chan, you only agreed to help because you wanted to play this game for free, didn't you?"

"Wha...?! You wound me, Su...Leafa! I would never do something like that!"
