The Maverick(Sword Art Online X Male Reader)

Ch.72 Knightly Duties

Eugeo: What are you saying?

Mav: This world we're in, it isn't real. Never was or will be. This world was created by the people outside of this world. The magic you use also sounds like console commands.

Eugeo: If this world isn't real then, what about me? Am I a real person?

Mav:.....No, you're not. You're an artificial intelligence or A.I. for short. This world was created to conduct an experiment to make an A.I.from the ground up.

Eugeo: No way.....I'm...not real?

Mav: I'm sorry. But you wanted to know...

Eugeo stared at his hands in shock as Mav walked past him until he was flung back around as Eugeo gripped the boy's shoulders tightly as Eugeo gave a look of seriousness with hints of desperation in his eyes.

Eugeo: Then tell me Mav....was our friendship.....a lie? These years we've spent together....was I the only one who cherished them? Tell me Mav...please......

Mav was silent for a moment....it was true that he could care less for this world but he did feel something after spending all this time with him....he was the only person in this world that had his back.

Mav: It wasn't.

Eugeo:!!!

Mav raised his hand and gently put Eugeo's arms off of him as he smirked.

Mav: This friendship, It reminds me of someone. You kinda remind me of him. But regardless, this time we've spent, I truly appreciate it. I still plan on seeing this through with you, my friend.

Mav scratched the back of his head after listening to himself.

Mav: Ah, I hope that suffices. I didn't prepare a speech of this sappy shit.

Eugeo smiled brightly at Mav who just shrugged.

Eugeo: Then let us be off Mav!

Mav: You're taking that bombshell pretty well.

Eugeo: Well it was surprise sure but.....as long as I have you and Alice, I could care less if I'm real or not because to me, our friendship is real and that's all I need to keep going!

Mav laughed at Eugeo who turned slightly red at Mav's outburst.

Mav: Haha Haha! Oh man, you'd be great friends with my other friend! Okay, let's head on up.

Eugeo: Right!

"Um, hello?"

The two boys looked up seeing two little girls staring at them. Mav nudged Eugeo forward as he stood behind him.

Fizel: Hi there. I'm Fizel a sister-in-training and this my fellow sister-in-training, Linel.  You two are the intruders from the Dark Territory no?

Eugeo: Um, were from the Human Empire but you're not wrong about being intruders.

The two knelt down and had a huddle with each other.
