Chapter 3 Of Volume 1 A Waste Of Time

Journal Entry 7 My first Solo Dungeon Raid

I seem to have lost track of how long its been since this whole loose wire joke of a death game started but I went on my first solo dungeon hunt today. Got a whole lot of kills and leveled up to level 19. Got enough of the ingame money to buy a brand new sword afterward. But something happened down there in the dungeon that made me question the sanity of Kirito.

On my way out of the dungeon I ran into him coming out of a secret room looking like he seen a mass murder take place. I approached and asked what's wrong but he didn't respond so I guided him out of the place and to my home I bought recently on Floor 7. After I calmed him down I asked him again what was wrong. This time he told me his team was killed and he couldn't do anything about it.

He says that he blames himself for it because he lied about what level he is. I told him that he did his best to protect them and that if he needed a place to rest and wrap his mind around all that's happened he could stay the night here. He's asleep in the bedroom next door to me so I dont have much to worry about.

Journal Entry 8 Waste of a quest

Well Kirito left to go do god knows what earlier this morning and I had something I was going to do with some fellow friends of mine on floor 19 so I couldn't watch him. Anyway in the middle of the town where we were all supposed to meet I saw a girl in white clothing with a red trim or outline walking around. As I approached her I recalled seeing her last in the first floor boss room the day we took Illfang on. I believe her name was Asuna. When I called her name she looked at me and then ran off. After that odd encounter I met up with my friends and went on that quest. It took longer than it was said to take and we ended up getting nothing good from it in the end. That damn player we got the quest details from and what NPC gives it made us waste our time. We will get him back for this some day.

Journal Entry 9 Formal meeting

Well I have no damn clue what I got myself into or how the plan worked but a member of the Knights of the Blood Oath alliance came by and wanted me to come to a battle meeting to discuss how we are to fight the next boss. Once I arrived I saw two people I know there. Both Asuna and Kirito were there and I finally got to talk to Asuna about what she has been up to since the floor 1 boss fight and checked up on Kirito. However didn't join us for the boss fight because he didn't want to use the NPC's as cannon fodder while we killed it. Later that day I saw the both of them having dinner in one of the safe zone towns. I wanted to talk to them but a scream rang out and they ran off. I never get to talk to them normally. Why do I ever bother trying. I'll just waste their time.
