The year is 2025, and you’ve just received your copy of Sword Art Online, the most anticipated VRMMORPG of the year. With the NerveGear headset in hand, you’re eager to dive into the game. You’ve been waiting for this moment for months, and now it’s finally here. You put on the headset, the world around you fades, and you’re transported into the world of Aincrad.

The game’s interface pops up in front of you, and you take in the stunning details of the world around you. The vibrant skies, the bustling towns, and the towering castles. Everything feels real. The sensation of the wind, the warmth of the sun, and even the weight of your body are all perfectly replicated.

Suddenly, a voice echoes through the game. It’s the creator of the game, Kayaba Akihiko, announcing something unexpected.

“Welcome to Sword Art Online. I am Kayaba Akihiko, the creator of this world. I regret to inform you that you are all now trapped here. The only way to escape is to clear all 100 floors of Aincrad. If you die in the game, you die in real life. Good luck.”

A chill runs down your spine. You try to remove the headset, but it’s stuck. The reality of your situation sets in. You, along with thousands of other players, are trapped in this virtual world.

Now, you must survive, fight, and find a way to escape. Your journey begins here, in the vast, unforgiving world of Sword Art Online.
