Content: In 2022, the first Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG), Sword Art Online (SAO), is released. Thanks to the Nerve Gear, a virtual reality helmet that affects the user's five senses through their brain, players can experience and control their virtual in-game character with their mind. On November 6, 2022, players logged in for the first time and discovered they couldn't log out. They are then told by Kayaba Akihiko, the creator of SAO, that if they want to be free, they must reach the 100th floor of the game tower (Aincrad) and defeat the final boss. However, if their character dies in the game, they will also die in real life. The story follows Kirito, a high-level player determined to clear the game. When the game started two years ago, Kirito befriended a female player named Asuna and he fell in love with her. After Kirito discovered Kayaba's identity in SAO, he confronted and defeated him in a duel, freeing himself and the other players from the game. Upon returning to the real world, Kirito learned that Asuna and a small group of SAO players had not yet regained consciousness. Following a clue to where Asuna was in another VRMMORPG called Alfheim Online (ALO), Kirito also logged into it. With the help of his sister Suguha, he discovered that the players caught in ALO were part of Nobuyuki Sugou's illegal experimental scheme to manipulate them including Asuna, whom he planned to marry in this world. real world to take over her family's company. After Kirito thwarted Nobuyuki's plan, he finally reunited with Asuna in the real world. Not long after, Kirito played another game called Gun Gale Online (GGO) to investigate a mysterious link between it and deaths in the real world. Helped by a female player named Sinon he meets, he identifies and exposes the perpetrators, including some former members of a murderous gang he encountered in SAO. Later, Kirito participated in the development of a very advanced new VR world called Underworld (UW), which had a much more realistic and complex interface than the games he had played. In UW, the flow of time is a thousand times faster than in the real world. However, unfortunately, he was caught in the trap of one of the killers from SAO (one of Death Gun's accomplices) and slowly recovered brain cells in UW. He couldn't get out and his real body was in a coma. He began his journey towards the central tower of the world, seeking to return to the real world with his friend Eugeo met at UW. After going through a long journey, he and Eugeo reached the Northlargath Sword Academy in North Centoria. They spent a year as beginner swordsmen and became elite swordsmen. After being escorted to Central Cathedral, they overcame the integrity knights and defeated the final boss of the UW, Administrator, whose real name was Quinella. But instead, Eugeo sacrificed himself. Kirito was half awake and half asleep and was taken care of by Alice. After the final load testing phase began (English name: Final Load Test), Kirito awakened, defeating PoH (then the commander of the UW invasion army from Real World) and the shadow god. Dark Vector (ie Subtilizer in GGO and Gabriel Miller in Real World) to restore peace to UW. After the period of extreme acceleration began, he and Asuna lived for 200 years in the UW (detailed in the two volumes of Moon Cradle vol 19 & 20). After escaping from UW, Kirito, Asuna, Alice, and all the Japanese VRMMO players were entangled in an event called the Unital Ring. All players are required to convert their accounts there and if they die, they will lose their accounts forever. The character's appearance is set up to be similar to the outside, exactly like in the old SAO. Yui (the daughter of Kirito and Asuna) is no longer the system's guiding fairy, but also counts as a player. She aspires to become a rapier swordsman cum healer like her mother to help, when needed, to be able to fight other players.
