After recovering from the shock Saito left the bathroom and went to his kitchen, he hadn't eaten for a week but strangely enough, there was no sign of hunger. Even so, he decided to eat as he needed to maintain a healthy body, after finishing his meal Saito looked out his window and found out that it was way past his bedtime. The time was currently 12:32 Am which meant that Grand Quest Online was released 32 minutes ago.

"I guess everyone is rushing into the game by now, especially Arata" (Saito)

He let out a faint smile and headed back to his room, he sat down on his bed and stared into the void. He had a cup of hot chocolate with him which he had missed out on since he had been trapped within the game, he took a sip and placed the cup onto a table placed next to his bed.

"Hmm, since my appearance has changed I wonder if my Physical abilities were affected" (Saito)

"What if I'm able to..." (Saito)

"Inventory" (Saito)

A blue screen appeared before Saito, it contained all the items which he had gained by completing the dungeon. Saito gazed at the inventory screen in disbelief, he reached towards a demon horn which was placed in his inventory. Saito's hand slowly entered the blue screen as it rippled he pulled out the object that he had placed his hand on, the demon horn was placed in his right hand it had a physical form and was tangible.

"This is a dream right.." (Saito)

Saito could not believe what he had just done, he managed to summon his inventory in reality outside of the game. Judging from what he had done Saito assumed that he had transformed into his game character. This meant that he was able to execute things out of the norm, such as magic if his character had unlocked it.

"This is amazing" (Saito)

He removed placed the horn back into his inventory and got rid of the inventory screen, he laid on his bed as he stared at the ceiling.

"How do I hide my hair and eye colour?" (Saito)

He let out a soft sigh and slowly shut his eyes, he was extremely tired after all he had been through. He lost his consciousness as entered a deep sleep.

*Buzz* *Buzz*

Saito got up from his bed and turned off the alarm, he had placed the alarm to wake him up at exactly 5 Am so that he could buy some hair dye and contact lenses before school. He got ready and left his flat after finishing his breakfast, after leaving he decided to head towards a body store near his house.

all I need is a black hair dye and brown contact lenses

He thought to himself as he entered the store, he looked around for a few minutes and managed to find what he needed.

"Hi I would like to buy these" (Saito)

He faced the woman who was standing behind the counter.

"Hello?" (Saito)

The woman was staring at Saito's hair and eyes which had caught her attention.

"yes, sorry about that I zoned out for a second"

she took the hair dye and contact lenses which Saito had placed on the counter, She continued to stare at Saito's face as he scanned the items.

"do you happen to be a Kpop star?"

"uhh, what?" (Saito)

Saito tilted his head in confusion.

"Nevermind will you pay by cash or credit card?"

Saito took out his credit card and placed it in the machine, he put in his pin and played for both items. He did not have any time to waste, he didn't want to be late on his first day back.

"Uh thanks" (Saito)

Saito left the store in a hurry and headed towards his flat, he ran inside as soon as he arrived and dashed towards the bathroom.

"let's see how do I apply these" (Saito)

After a few minutes, he managed to apply the dye and contact lenses which made his appearance really similar to the way he looked before the change.

"ok that should do" (Saito)

Saito exited his flat and headed towards school, he made sure to check his hair properly to see if he missed any spots and looked around for any more changes in his body.

"I'm finally back" (Saito)

Saito always walked to school as it was refreshing in the morning, he looked around the area's which he had passed and let out a smile. he had missed everything about his daily life ever since he was trapped, although it had been for a week he still missed the little things that he got to do daily.

A large building appeared in the distance, the entrance was blocked by two large gates there was a sign on top of the entrance reading out 'Seren High'. Saito attended a Seren High it was a private school in his neighbourhood which required payments, of course, Saito could not afford these payments so Ishawa paid the fees instead.

"I never thought I would ever miss this building" (Saito)

He smiled and carried on walking towards the gates.

"Saito!" (Mika)

Mika shouted from a distance to catch Satio's attention, she had been extremely worried about Saito since he stopped attending school last week. Rikyo who was behind Mika caught up with and approached Saito, Rikyo had dark eye bags due to the lack of sleep he had decided to pull an all-nighter on GQO.

"Whats up?" (Saito)

He looked at both of them and let a warm smile, Mika and Rikyo were both Saito's close friends so he had missed them during the past week.

"Why didn't you come to school last week, we even tried to visit you but you didn't open the door" (Rikyo)

Saito quickly searched for an excuse, he didn't want them to find you in his current condition.

"I went somewhere with Ishawa" (Saito)

"You should inform us next time, we were worried" (Mika)

She spoke up as she started walking towards the gate, Mika looked quite annoyed as Saito didn't apologise.

"Hehe, She's pissed" (Rikyo)

"Shut up your mood killer" (Saito)

The trio entered the school and faded into the distance.

[2 Months after the incident]

Saito was standing in front of a mirror which was placed in his room, he stared at the mirror as he examined his white hair and pink eyes. He slowly shut his left eye and his cheeks reddened. Saito shifted his gaze towards his bed, a helmet laid on top of the bead facing towards Saito. He slowly walked towards the helmet and picked it up as he seated himself, he placed the helmet on top of his head and slowly laid down as he stared at the ceiling of his room.

"Turn on System"

[System online]

Saito's consciousness drifted into the game as he arrived in an empty white room.

[Checking for previous Data]

[No data found]

"Weird did they do a data reset" (Saito)

[Would you like to create a new character]

"Yes" (Saito)

[Name the Race of your character]

"Race?" (Saito)

[Current Available options are: Human, Dark Elves, Elves, Dwarf, Kobold, Murderer, Demon, Demi-Human]

[Special Options: Angel]

{Special Options: An option only available to certain people}

"I choose Angel" (Saito)

[Race Chosen, Angel]

[Would you like information about your class]

"I would" (Saito)

[Angel: This class raises the max capacity of stat points to a sum of 1000 instead of 500. Angel exceeds other race's in most states allowing them to stay at the top.]

"isn't that a cheat.." (Saito)

[Would you like to change your appearance]

"I already look like my game character, so that's unnecessary."

[Please choose an area to spawn in]

[Available options are]

Zereria - The land of human, the majority of the population is human's there are signs of other race's, however, it is minor and most are taken in as slaves.

"Wait!" (Saito)

"you don't have to explain everything, I choose Zereria" (Saito)

He couldn't be bothered to waste time on the other options.

[Character created you will now be teleported to Zereria]

A blinding light appeared as it took Saito's consciousness away from him, he opened his eyes to find himself sitting under a tree which shaded him from the sun.

[Title Unlocked: Beginner]

"I spawned here" (Saito)

Saito got up on his feet and faced the village which was in the distance, he walked towards the village in order to gather information about the area.

"I wonder where Vision is" (Saito)

He scratched his head as he remembered their last moments together, Saito had decided to leave Vision without thinking about it too much. He was sure that Vision was angry at him.

[Title Unlocked: Nameless Hero]

[Title Unlocked: White Haired Demon]

"whats with the title's" (Saito)

[Title Unlocked: One Eyed Wanderer]

"Oh right I'm a Myth in this game" (Saito)

he let out a wry smile as he approached the village.

"How troublesome" (Saito)

He entered the village which was now full of people, the last time he was in the game there were no signs of life around the area. The village was dead silent, however this time the same village was filled with cheers of joy and happiness.

"oh right before I enter I should change my title I don't want to cause any commotions" (Saito)

[Title Screen]

A luminous purple screen appeared before Saito's vision.

Title Screen

Beginner: +1 To all Stats

Nameless Hero: +5 To all Stats

White Haired Demon: +10 To all stats

One Eyed Wanderer: 2x XP / +20 All Stats

"it seems like the game really wants me to use one of the abnormal Title's, is that how badly they want to find me. Either way, this spells out trouble so it's best if I avoid it" (Saito)

[Equip Beginner Title]

[Beginner Title Equiped] (System)

Saito opened the status screen in order to check if it worked, he wanted to avoid any drama along the way.

Status Screen Name: *Blank* Atk: 22 End: 26 Title: Beginner Level: 1 Agi: 28 Int: 22 Race: Angel Luk: 20 Wis: 20 Class: None Dex: 25 Vit: 24

Saito gazed at the screen with a disdain face, he was sure he hit the max before he logged out of the game. But his stats had reset he had lost everything.

"My beautiful stats, it's all gone.." (Saito)

"CURSE YOU, ADMINISTRATORS!" (Saito)

after calming himself down Saito decided to enter the village, he remembered that he had no name which was the biggest clue to his identity. The first thing he wanted to do is change his name, well give himself a name since he did not have one.

Saito asked around for information about legally changing names, he was directed towards the building in the centre of the village. The building was slightly bigger than the ones surrounding it, there were people buzzing in and out of the building and it seemed quite busy. On Top of the building, there was a large sign which read out 'Adventurer Guild'.

Saito entered the building and headed towards the main desk, he avoided any eye contact with the Adventurers within the building. He was not looking forward to any unwanted attention, once he reached the front desk he was accompanied by an elven woman. She had long pointy ears reaching out of her Long silky blonde hair, Her eyes were pure blue which caught the attention of many men with just a gaze.

"Hi, My name is Ashera can I help you in any way?" (Ashera)

"Yes I would like to legally change my name" (Saito)

Ashera let out a sigh as he looked at Saito.

"Do you happen to not like your current name?" (Ashera)

She gazed at Saito with an annoyed expression, recently a lot of adventurers have come to her in order to change their name instead of trading goods with the guild. When adventurers sell materials to the guild the receptionist who accompanies them gets 5% of the profit.

"I don't really have a name, so I'm not here to change my name I'm here to get one" (Saito)

Ashera looked at Saito with a puzzled expression.

"Sorry?" (Ashera)

"I want to give myself a name.." (Saito)

Ashera continued to stare at Saito, Suddenly she widened her eyes. She realised something, white hair a scar in his left eye and no name.

"You're..." (Ashera)

Ashera was shivering in fear, he had identified someone who perfectly fit the description of the Mythical One Eyed Wanderer. A being that was rumoured to travel the lands and destroy anything in its path.

"I'm?" (Saito)

"One Eye..." (Ashera)

She slowly backed away to gain some distance from Saito.

"Wait I understand why you're reacting like that I'm not who you think I am, you can check my Status for proof" (Saito)

Ashera was still on guard as she slowly backed away even further.

"Lies, your appearance matches the description." (Ashera)

Saito let out a sigh

"I just happen to have white hair and a scar on my left eye, I know what you're thinking but once you check my level you will believe me." (Saito)

Ashera slowly lowered her guard

"wait here" (Ashera)

She went into a room behind a counter and came back out with a crystal orb in her hand, everyone in the room was glaring at Saito who did not want any attention. Ashera placed the orb on top of the counter right in front of Saito.

"Pour some mana into this" (Ashera)

Saito wasn't expecting Ashera to actually test him, he would be in a lot of trouble once they view his race. he slowly reached towards the crystal clear orb.

"I mean we don't really have to do this" (Saito)

He let out a wry smile as he looked at Ashera behind the counter, he was not planning on unmasking himself in front of so many players.

"Then you are the One-Eyed Wanderer" (Ashera)

"How annoying" (Saito)

he placed his hand on the orb and poured mana into it, the orb started to glow as it opened up Saito's status screen. However something was different, the screen did not contain any information about Saito's race or Title.

"See I told you" (Saito)

Ashera glared at Saito for a moment.

"Your stats are abnormally high but other than that you seem pretty normal." (Ashera)

She slowly frowned.

"I'm extremely sorry for causing you trouble, I accused you without proof."

"it's fine I can understand why you mistook me for the Mythical Destroyer" (Saito)

he had a smile on his face as cold sweat ran down his back, he was relieved that the status screen did not contain information about his race.

"So what would you like your name to be?" (Saito)

Saito placed his right hand on his chin to help him think of a name.

"hmm let's see why don't we go with Kirito...." (Saito)

"Never mind everyone will call me a weeaboo if I do that, let's go with Saito"

He looked at Ashera who was nodding senselessly.

"Ok would you like to sign up for an Adventurer card?" (Ashera)

Saito looked at Ashera as he thought about the question, he knew that he would obtain some advantage if he became an adventurer he had heard about it from Rikyo. Adventurers are able to accept quests which allows them to gather money, there is also a rank system which allows them to increase the difficulty of their quests and gain new privileges. Adventurers can also access the Grand Market which allows users to sell items for in-game money, this allowed people to consider Grand Quest Online as their part-time jobs.

"yes please" (Saito)

Saito replied as he nodded with satisfaction, earning money from a game was something every gamer would dream of.

"ok we will use the information from the Crystal if that's fine with you" (Ashera)

After Saito had finished his conversation with Ashera about the adventurer's card he was told to come back in 2 days to collect it, mean while Saito left the guild hall and began to search for a blacksmith. He urgently needed equipment in order to defend himself from monsters.

After half an hour he managed to locate a blacksmith, it was surprisingly empty once he got inside, in fact, he was the only person in the building beside the shop owner of course. The owner of the shop was an old man in his 80's he looked like a retired adventurer due to his big physique.

"do you need something kid?" (Dandre)

Saito was beginning to get annoyed with the Npc's attitude, they all seemed to hate Saito for some reason.

"I'm looking for some equipment, preferably daggers and a good quality armour." (Saito)

Dandre stood there like a stone statue as he stared at Saito, he was examining Saito's Physique in order to find a suitable armour.

"wait here kid" (Dandre)

The old man disappeared into a room and came back out a few minutes later, he carried a red leather armour and two short daggers cladded in red.

"Fire Lizard armour and extremely durable yet flexible armour that new adventurers would die for, Magnum daggers crafted from the shards of a Fire Lizard Egg extremely sharp and light."

Saito was staring at the armour and dagger with an amazed expression.

"if you want to buy both of them it will cost you 86 silver" (Dandre)

The equipment was of good quality, however, Saito knew how hard it was to earn money in this world, Rikyo had told him about the struggle and hardship he went through in order to gather 5 gold which is the amount of money he needed to make a guild.

"Inventory"

Inventory Lucifers Feather: x1 Gold: x24 Black Demon Horns: x278 Hp Potion: x5 Black Demon Orb: x256 Silver: 87 Black Demon Skin: x288 Mp Potion: x5 Carnwennan Dagger: x1 Copper: 22

Saito was a little shocked he did not expect to see his inventory full of the items he obtained from Lucifer's Dimension, Saito took out 86 silver which he needed for the set.

"here you go" (Saito)

he placed the silver on the counter and picked up the daggers and armour, he decided to wear it as he did not have sufficient space in his inventory. Once he put on the armour and dagger's he left the store to find an area he could use to farm XP, Saito managed to gather some information about a goblin cave near the village. he decided to head towards the cave which was located north of the village.
