~Almost one month since the start of the game~

We split up the parties as follows: Party one is Fantamu, Kibo, Saku and Washi. Party two is Kieru, Ani, and Kisho. We have spent the last month level grinding and completing quests to raise our levels. We wanted to make it to at least level 15 before we tried to attempt to find the boss room and attack. As I predicted the non-beta testers were being hunted down to prevent them from taking all the easy quests and going on ahead with all of their game cheats that to them seemed like a unfair advantage. Most of the beta testers had resorted to going into hiding or keeping under the radar and blending in with the other players to escape persecution.

Most of the other beta testers names weren't very well known so they had an easier time blending in and hiding than the more well known and popular beta testers. Unfortunately Fantamu, Saku, Washi, Kieru, Ani, and Kisho are all pretty well known players from their frequent posts on the SAO forum about the game and their achievements being posted by the game itself. Other players had also frequently mentioned them in their own posts to the forum and anyone who was planning on getting SAO had been monitoring the forum to see what the game was all about.

Another problem that I had foreseen happening was the Player killing. The players in the game that are in denial that killing someone in game actually kills someone in IRL and those that just enjoy killing. They have been something I saw coming the second I heard the game was now a life or death game but I had hoped that it wouldn't start so soon. Their were many things I had seen coming when the death game had officially started and already some of them have started to come true and I didn't know how to stop it.

Some players were just falling into depression and staying in the town of beginnings or have gone suicidal in their hope of getting out of the game. Dozens have fallen at the hands of the player killers and even more have joined them. A lot of players have already died and I just wanted to find a way to help them, to give them some hope that this game could be cleared. There wasn't much I could do to even help my friends at the moment let alone the rest of the players yet. We had been forced to go in hiding since our group is made of so many well known beta testers, The only person in our group that could walk around town freely and get supplies for us without getting chased out or almost killed was Kibo. We had to rely on him a lot because of it and it just made me feel guilty and useless that we couldn't do anything to help.

That's is what has sparked the debate we are currently in.

"We can not stay hidden anymore!" I yelled at Ani

"Well what else are we supposed to do, if we come out of hiding people will recognize us and try to kill us!" Ani yelled back

"We need to help all of the other players and if it means being hunted down than so be it!" I retorted voice still soft like usual but it had lost it's emotionless tone and adopted one of determination and strength.

Ani had no response for a few moments and than seemed to give up arguing because he already knew he wouldn't be able to argue against Fantamu and his logic that just always shut down any other beliefs. I gave a sly smirk that was almost unnoticeable at noticing Ani's defeated expression. Everyone else had already agreed with Fantamu except Ani and had been watching the argument with hope of Ani's surrender.

"Finally with that settled" Washi started out enthusiastically "We should start a guild and hunt down all the player killers and stop them and put them in prison. That way we could help the other players and stop the player killers from killing everyone, we can even join the front lines and help to clear the game." he finished dramatically. Everyone else starting to add their own thoughts to the idea until they were all in agreement. "Ok, now that we have a purpose to follow and an idea of how to do it we will need to determine a few things before we start our guild." Kisho stated being the responsible and older player he was (also he was like the mom of the group while Kieru was like the dad since they were the oldest and worried constantly about all the younger ones) "Who should we nominate as the Guild leader?" Ani asked and immediately all hands pointed to me who was kind of shocked at the display of trust they were all putting in me.

"Why me?" I asked in my usual deadpan voice and expression. "Because your a good strategist and always know what we are thinking and how to help others. You are strong and level headed at all times and are responsible. Your a great leader even if you don't think so. Sorry I said to much!" Saku said ending it with a apology that was of course not needed. "I guess I will be Guild leader then but only if I can have Kibo and Kisho as my deputies to help me out. I don't think I can manage to be the only one in control of you bunch of ruffians" everyone agreed not even taking any offence to Fantamu's rude remark since they knew they couldn't really disagree with his statement and went on to the next task

"Will do what jobs?" I asked "I am the leader but we will need a medic, blacksmith, potions brewer, crafter, and a chef" I pointed out and so everyone thought it through for a while an we came to the conclusions that the chef would be Kibo, the crafter would be Ani, the blacksmith would be Kisho, the potions brewer would be Washi and both Saku and Kieru would be medics to make sure that they could heal anyone including the medic to ensure no one would die. "Guys we still need to name our guild!" Washi shouted. We all shouted out possible names until Kieru said one we all agreed on. "Ok" I announced to everyone with my hand hovering over the create guild button in my menu after I had put in all the information "We are now the Blue Beta guild and our goal is to find and capture all the player killers and save the other players from monsters and themselves, we will fight on the front lines and clear this death game!" I said as I clicked the button making it official and we all shouted to celebrate and I thought "I will save everyone."
