Silica POV

Rosalia: What are you Talking about? Why should we have to share these healing crystals with you? Your pet lizard has healing powers you know.

Silica: But you never fight on the front lines so who are you to talk? You don't need to use any healing crystals!

Rosalia: Of course I do... you're the popular one here, silica. I can't expect the boys to help when I need it.

Guy 1: Oh come on. It's not like that.

Silica: Fine! I don't care. You want my items, fine but I'm never going to team up with you again. I know there are a ton of different parties that would love to have me on their side!

I then stormed off.

Guy 1: Wait! Don't go. Silica...

Y/N POV

I had just said goodbye to Argo since she was going to sleep for the night but I planned on hunting some monsters so I could level up again. While I was walking, I heard screeching so I readied myself for something to attack me but nothing happened and I then realized that was the sound of a creature I implemented into the game: a dragon that heals players. I immediately ran towards the noise since that meant someone was in trouble. When I arrived, I saw three gorilla like monsters getting ready to attack but I just swung my new chain scythes through their torsos, killing all three

I then had the scythes return to me and I looked at the girl who was crying, symbolizing that I was too late to save her friend. I know the limit of my power and I can't just show my powers.

She looked at me and said the name of her pet.

???: *GIF below* Pina...

Y/N: *sighs sadly* (Dammit. Once again I'm late... well at least I was able to save her)

???: *picks up feather* Please don't leave me all alone here. *starts sobbing* Pina.

I then sighed and disconnected the chains off my scythes and they wrapped themselves around my arms while I placed my scythes at my side.

Y/N: That feather... I'm guessing it was your friend?

???: Yes... It was Pina... my best friend.

Y/N: So you're a beast tamer then. I'm sorry. If I had gotten here quicker, I could've saved your friend...

???: *shakes* No... it's all my fault. I was stupid to think i could make it through the forest on my own.*Looks at Y/N* Thank you for saving me.... *Gasps and panics* I-It's you... are you going to...

Y/N: *Annoyed Sigh* I don't kill people. I joined this game so I could save lives...*ashamed* So far I've been failing at that. Anyways, that feather of yours. Check and see if it has an item name attached to it.

The girl then did as I told her and it read "Pina's heart" which only caused her to weep more but I then hugged her slightly.

Y/N: Good. It has a name. We still have a chance to revive Pina.

???: No way, really?

Y/N: *nods head and soft smile* Yep. On the south side of floor 47. There's a field dungeon called the Hill of Memories and I'll let you in on a little secret. The flower that blooms at the top can revive familiars. *proud* It's Something I implemented into this game.

???: *happy then sad* Floor 47...

Y/N: *scratches head* I'd offer to go get it for you for free as a way of saying "Sorry you got stuck in this game" but the only problem is... the flower won't bloom unless the familiar's Master is there. That's something my father added.

???: Thank you so much for telling me about it. If I work hard hard to raise my level and one day, I'll get the flower!

Y/N: *seethes* About that... Pina only has three days to be resurrected after its death.

???: No way... it's all my fault. I'm so sorry, Pina.

Y/N: What's your name?

???: *about to start sobbing again* It's Silica

Y/N: *gets up* It's okay then, Silica. *pulls up menu and sends equipment to Silica* You have three days and these pieces of equipment should help you by six levels and I'll be tagging along too so I can help you.

Silica: But... why would you do all this for me?

Y/N: *looks at Silica Then looks away* So I can redeem myself...*sad chuckle* I know, pretty fucking stupid, isn't?

To my surprise, Silica giggled a bit.

Silica: Redeem yourself from what?

Y/N: Many things, but all of them revolve around the creation of this game...

Silica: You blame yourself for their deaths, don't you? Everyone who has died in this game...

Y/N: You're a sharp one... If I hadn't helped my father create this game... maybe I could've stopped this outcome.

Silica: I doubt it. I'm pretty sure your father would've just worked on it without you and would've never told you what he was planning. If anything, I think you did the right thing joining this game. I've heard rumors about you. Rumors that say you're a player killer but I don't see that in you. If you were a player killer, you would've killed me already.

Y/N: Heh, you're quite brave to see me, the Reaper Of SAO as a Normal human being.

Silica: *giggles slightly* Well you are, aren't you?

Y/N: *Quiet chuckle and mutters* Not by a long shot...*normal* I guess I am.

Silica then brought up her menu with the trade icon and started putting in col.

Silica: I know this isn't enough to pay you back right now, but-

Y/N: I don't need payment, Silica. I already said, I'm doing this for redemption, not money...(but who am I kidding...*slightly insane chuckle* people like me? We don't deserve redemption. I'm just as bad as the people of Laughing coffin. I helped create this game... I technically AM a player killer...*insane chuckle* And a good one at that...) Any~ways, we should head to a town and get ready for tomorrow.

Silica: Alright. Thank you... is it okay if I call you by your actual name since everyone basically knows it or should I call you "Grim"?

Y/N: *smiles* You can call me by my name if you want, I don't really care.

Silica: Then Thank you, Y/N.

We then started walking towards the nearest town, which was Mishe on the 35th floor, but the entire time we were walking... the memories of watching my friends die and all the torment I've been put through ever since this game started. All the insults... all the hatred... all the screaming of those who have been killed... Watching my entire guild die in front of me...

Y/N:(*VID below* I'm losing my mind in this game~...)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

For those who haven't figured it out yet, This game and every death that has happened because of this game is tearing at Y/N's sanity. Not even a Reaper is safe from going mad.
