Chapter 118: chapter 19
Floor one of Aincrad- the town of beginning.
A few hours after the first floor was conquered by the group of brave players.
Diavel and the other finally arrived back at the town of beginning.
"We're back!" Diavel then shouted out loudly to get all the attention from the players within the nearest vicinity to the teleportation gate.
"What was that all about?" among the crowd of players that noticed the disturbances was a young man who was carrying a bag of grocery.
"What was that all about Keita?" a short teen who was neared the man name Keita asked him.
"I don't really know…"Keita then pointed at the strange group of players.
"Everyone! May I have your attention please!" Diavel then continued to shout out, attracting more players to their location.
"What is it?" a random player from the crowd of players that was attracted to Diavel shouted out within a confused look on his face.
"We have defeated the boss of the first floor of Aincrad and manage to link up the teleportation gate to the nearest town on the second floor! The path is now open to everyone!" Diavel shouted out, which immediately got all the people in the plaza interested.
"Is it true!" another unknown player shouted out.
"Yeah! We have defeated it! And the good news is! No one had died!" Kibaou joined into Diavel speech and answered the player question.
"If you don't believe us you can use the gate and travel to the second floor yourself! The town is Urbos!" Diavel then added
Upon hearing it, the players that gathered within the plaza was in an uproar, they quickly rushed over to the teleportation gate and immediately activated it and travel to the new location.
"Let go to Keita! I want to check it out!" the short teen pulled Keita by the arm.
"But Ducker! What about the Tetsuo and Sasamaru?" he asked.
"Don't worry, we can always message them." with that said they quickly headed over to the teleportation gate.
When they arrived, Keita met up with the man that started the commotion within the plaza.
"Hello, is it really true that you guys defeated the first boss?" he asked the blue-haired man.
"Indeed, our team works somehow pulled through," Diavel said with an amiable smile on his face. "Damn it but it was Leonard who got the final kill!" he yelled out in his heart.
"Why don't you go to the new town and check it out? The name of the town is Urbos."
Diavel suggested.
"Sure! We'll go right away! Thank- erm.." Ducker added in but he did not know the name of the blue haired man.
"You can call me Diavel."

An hour later.
Within one of the inn that was scattered throughout the large town of beginning.
"Hey, Sachi! You're in there?" a male voice muffled from the other side of the door.
*knock *knock, the man knocked on the door twice.
"I'm here Keita, what is it?" the female player asked out to the male who was waiting from the other side of the door.
"Sachi! Good news! A group of player just came back from their expedition, stating that they have managed to defeat the boss of the first floor and already established a teleportation route to the second floor!" Keita told Sachi in an excited tone of voice.
"What? People made it past the first floor?" upon hearing the new from Keita, Sachi was pleasantly surprised, for the past month that she and her friends had been stuck within the death game designed by Kayaba.
they'd try their best to survive for as long as possible without going outside of town, at most their group would go out and hunted a few boars for the measly amount of Col, enough to buy them some foods to satisfy their hunger and enough to maintain their gears.
"Where did you hear that from, Keita?" Sachi couldn't help but asked her friend.
"I heard it from the people who defeated the boss! I think his name was Diavel or something." Keita told her.
"How do you know that it was true?" Sachi asked him.
"Of course it's true! We used the teleportation gate to travel to Urbos!" Keita reassured her.

Sachi, she was just a normal girl before she and her friends from a computer club in her school bought the hardware for the game Sword Art Online, but fate managed to play her and her club member in a form of trapping them within the game itself.
When it happened, Sachi was completely lost, she did not know what to do and feared for her very life, but her friends manage to come together and formed a group.
They helped one another out in the beginning, they were quite possible about the whole situation- which was a good thing, but until they saw the horrifying truth about Sword Art Online itself that they shut and stay in the town of beginning and rarely leave.
As days passed, and noticing that the town was getting quieter as more and more people perished in the first month of the game, they could not take it anymore- they chose not to rot in the safe zone like all the other players and decided to venture out more often.
It was then that they know- people were actually fighting it, fighting to get back to the real world.
When Keita sawed this, he suggested that they formed a guild together and too they ventured out after learning of the news from the players that the first floor was conquered.
Soon, they created a guild called "Moonlit Black Cats" with Keita as the leader of the crew and went out hunting from then on.
The group of players that was lead by the man name Diavel had inspired them, giving them hope that it was indeed possible to escape the game, all they have to do in order to quickly speed up that process was, hunting monsters and getting stronger in the process and try to join with up with the floor clearing force when they're strong enough, they do not know when that will happened, however to this group of friends, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
