12:00pm in Lai's Apartment..
The boy sighs as he grabs the NerveGear headset and observes it with both hands..
Lai: Time sure flies fast.. I'm gonna miss it so much..
In Koharu's...
Koharu: Yeah.. Can't believe today's the final day..
She puts up her headset after connecting to the power source and her whole body lays down on the bed.. She closes her eyes as the system starts.

Welcome to
Sword Art Online!
After confirming, their minds dived into The World Of Swords.
Aincrad Standard Time, 12:00 in Floor 1, Town Of Beginning...
Lai: ...Huh?
His eyes slowly open and found himself in Floor 1, Town Of Beginning. The very first Safe Zone where most of the beta testers are hanging out there. He smiles as he is ready for his last adventure in Sword Art Online.
Lai: Let's enjoy till the very last!
He heads to the Bulletin Board in Merchant District to take on some quests before setting out to the Origin Plains with his Anneal Blade. And also stocking some healing potions for the emergency needs.
Lai: Alright! Everything set! Let's go!
In the meanwhile, Koharu had just equipped her store-bought Bronze Mace and head over to the Labyrinth to grind some experience point from the mobs.
Koharu: Hope I can catch up their levels!
Their paths had crossed as they both saw each other in the district without noticing.
Timeskip... In the Labyrinth.. With Lai killing 20 Frenzy Boars for the {Get Rid Of The Boars} quest from the troubled woman and collecting 10 coarse stone as for the additional reward.
*Slash!* *Boar cries* *Fragments burst!*
After he reached the hunt quota, he had a thought of defeating the first floor boss along the way before reporting the quest. As he's on his way to the boss room. He notices a girl wandering around in the Labyrinth..
