In Sword Art Online, players compete in a life-or-death game in a virtual world.
Sword Art Online begins with the protagonist being suddenly stranded in a "virtual space" one day, unable to return to the real world unless he "voluntarily logs out" and "defeats the boss on the 100th floor." Death in this virtual space is directly linked to death in the real world, and Kirito, one of the players, resolves to fight and overcome the game in order to survive and return to the real world...
It's a game, so you can recover
Silica, the owner of Pina, a rare small dragon familiar with healing magic, loses Pina during a solo battle. However, when she meets Kirito, he suggests the possibility of reviving Pina. However, Silica finds herself in a difficult situation: there is a resurrection item on the 47th floor, making it impossible for her to reach it alone. Furthermore, she can only revive Pina within three days of her death.
However, Kirito offers to help, so the two set out on a journey to the 47th floor of the Hill of Memories to obtain a revival item...
The protagonist, Kirito, is so high-level that he takes constant attacks without taking any damage.
However, when he encounters a killer player, several of them attack Kirito, but Kirito, who is attempting to clear the floor as a solo player, recovers more damage per second than the killer player, making him completely unstoppable. He easily pushes the killer aside and successfully obtains Pina's revive item.
Just so you know, I'm a solo player. Turning orange for a day or two is no big deal.
A powerful threat that only a solo player can say!
The heroine Asuna and Kirito sometimes have conflicting opinions...
One year and five months have passed since Asuna was imprisoned in the virtual world. While she was in the midst of a full-scale challenge to conquer the levels, Asuna, who had become the vice-captain of the Knights of the Blood Oath guild, was at the forefront of the challenge. However, she found herself at odds with Kirito, a solo player, over the strategy for the challenge. The two spend their days disagreeing with each other, but...
The first step in bringing Asuna and Kirito closer
Kirito is aware of the "Sleep PK" exploit, which exploits the duel system and allows players to be killed while asleep. However, the cool breeze and warm sunlight lull him to sleep. Asuna, who witnessed this, was also induced to fall asleep in the sunlight filtering through the trees, and this incident brought the conflict between the two to a close...
Today is the best season in Aincrad, and it's an even rarer setting. It would be a waste to be exploring the labyrinth on a day like this.
This is a perfect phrase to describe Kirito's laid-back personality!
A sudden change from a brief respite...
After exploring the 74th floor, Kirito and his party finally reach the boss room. However, while they're resting and discussing strategies, a unit from the "Aincrad Liberation Army" appears, and army commander Kovacs foolishly orders his subordinates to charge in and defeat the boss.
Kirito and his party bravely confront the floor boss in the worst possible circumstances.
Asuna, who was forced into a corner by a trap that neutralized the emergency escape "Teleportation Crystal," watched as members of the "Liberation Army" were killed one after another. She then ran out without regard for the danger. As a result, Kirito and his friends were forced to challenge the boss on the 74th floor without any strategy...
Is it over...?
Kirito's words speak volumes about the fierce battle!
Our hero, Kirito, rises to the occasion in response to Asuna's wishes!
After witnessing Kirito and his friends face life-or-death situations during battle, Asuna decides to take a break from her "Blood Oath Knights" and informs their leader, Heathcliff, of her decision. However, Heathcliff, determined that his vice-leader should not leave, challenges Kirito to a challenge and tells him that he will approve Asuna's "wish" depending on the outcome...
A challenge against the strongest player, not the strongest boss!
Kirito boldly accepted the challenge for Asuna, a skilled opponent who even Asuna said, "Heathcliff's invincibility exceeds the game's balance." However...
If you want it, use your sword. Take it with your two-sword style
Heathcliff, despite knowing Kirito's greatest trump card, his two-sword style, confidently challenges him to a duel.
Behind this bold statement... is Akihiko Kayaba!?
Kirito and Asuna's child!?
Kirito and Asuna have acquired a lakeside log cabin on the 22nd floor and are enjoying a peaceful time there. But one day, Kirito takes Asuna out to a forest rumored to be haunted, and... a ghost!? But then, in terms of the system, the player encounters a "very strange" girl who only remembers her name, "Yui," and nothing else. Because of her amnesia, the two begin to feel affection for the girl, who looks up to them like a parent, and they set out to find her "true family."
What started as a search for family turns into a rescue attempt!?
Kirito and his friends begin searching for Yui's family in the First Floor's Starting City, but become embroiled in internal conflict within the "Army" and are forced to rescue someone in an underground dungeon...
Encounter with a Mysterious Enemy
However, a mysterious enemy awaited them in the underground dungeon, a formidable foe beyond even Kirito and Asuna's control, putting them in a desperate situation... But then Yui...
Yui's memories returned, and her true identity was revealed...
Yui is our child...
This one sentence really shows the depth of Kirito and his friends' affection!
Kirito and his companions rise from the depths of despair
