I'm ready to immerse myself into the game of Sword Art Online. I take a deep breath and say...
"link start!"
I open my eyes to find myself in a new land, this land is different from other MMORPGS I've played. There's other people here and it feels different. I walk across to the colosseum and I'm thinking to myself whether if this game is going to be easy or not. I've played the beta and got to floor 24. There was only 50 floors in the beta as well, so I don't know if this is hard or not.
We're all in the centre of the structure and the grand master welcomes us to the game. I was expecting some advice by him for the noobs. He mentioned something about the bugs the developers are working on. I'm unsure on why there'd be bugs in such a large game. I open up my menu and I can see one hundred thousand people on. I'm shocked by how popular this game is right now.

As the grand master finishes his speech I quickly run out and head north. I want to be able to claim all of the loot I can before anyone else does. I remember in the beta, a lot of loot was found in a hidden waterfall in the lands of Groungar. I hope that no one else knows about this spot because you can get enough loot for some pretty cool weapons.

I'm suddenly approached by a group of bears, they seem to be protecting something. I check my inventory and I have a steel short sword. I withdraw it and equip it. I hold the handle with a tight grip and charge towards the bear on the left, i think these are level 4 from my knowledge. Yes. I killed it I gain 23XP and 4 Gold.
I don't think I can tackle any monsters right now, so I'm going to make a run for it and head towards the next town. On the way there is a large rock with something that looks like a chest. It has a blue glow shimmering from it. I decide to unequip my sword and run towards it. I notice how tall the rock is when I stand next to it. It looks around 15 ft tall. I find a way how to climb up it by small holes ocks that hung off the edge of bigger rocks. I finally manage to elevate myself onto the rock. I approach the chest and open it slowly. Inside, I see some gold and a shield. I think it's made from mythril. I select the chest and choose "Loot All" and I see the items going into my inventory.
