They finally did it. Illfang the Kobold Lord was defeated, and the path to the second floor was open. Rather than wait for them to activate the portal to the second floor, Angelo instead went straight through the dungeon, or rather, winded this way and that fighting and avoiding monsters and traps to reach the boss room. It took about two hours in total, but the white-haired teenager was able to make it to the end. He had taken a health pot to regain most of his lost health, but it was worth it. The boss room was empty, devoid of Illfang and players alike. It was simply a passageway to the next floor.
Angelo was brooding over what had happened since November of 2022. A few good things happened before the second floor was available to all of Aincrad. The main thing was that he was able to find his sister Haruka, who in this game, calls herself Lucia. She remained the same, despite all the problems and tragedies that happened around her. He had also found several players he could call friends in his journey towards completing the game. The teenager also got stronger, leveling up a couple of times. All those boars, wolves, and kobolds did the trick in helping him become stronger and wiser about Sword Art Online.
The boy had continued walking until he could see a faint light at the end of the tunnel he was in. His eyes had to adjust to the change, but after seeing white for a minute, Angelo was able to see a vast lake in the middle of the floor. He had also noticed that the background music was a bit different compared to the first floor. While the first floor's music was orchestral comprised with a variety of string instruments, the second floor was more.. peaceful? Like it was 'free'.
Angelo was on a cliff, overlooking most of the floor around him. To his immediate left and right seemed like the edge of Aincrad. Directly in front of him was a winding staircase that would reach the highlands floor. In the distance, a large settlement could be seen about a kilometer away, located at the edge of the gigantic lake. Time to see what it actually looks like, he thought.
A new floor had finally opened up after all. The boy couldn't wait to see what the new floor had to offer the players of Sword Art Online.
