Sword Art Online

It's launch day for one of the most highly-anticipated video games of all time. Join the character "Kirito" as he begins his journey in the virtual world of Sword Art Online.

It's been one month since the players have been locked in the game. 2000 people have died; the first floor hasn't been cleared yet.

Kirito has finally joined a guild made up of close friends in reality. Everything is going well until a tragic accident changes Kirito completely.

Silca is known as Dragon Tamer Silca, but after leaving her group she is caught and her pet, Pina paid the ultimate price. Before she is killed, Kirito saves her and offers her a choice.

A player has been killed inside a safe zone and not by the known means. Asuna and Krito take it upon themselves to find out how and why this is happening.

Kirito has figured out the how and now he has to figure out the why.

A trip to get a new sword leaves Kirito battling a dragon and his fears.

After adventuring on the 74th floor, Kirito finds a rare S-class animal with top grade meat. Since he cannot cook well, Kirito decides to sell it to Agil, but he changes his mind when Asuna arrives and tells them that she has mastered her cooking skills. Kirito asks her to cook the meat in exchange for a share of the meal.

To save a group of players and Asuna from a Boss character, Kirito is forced to play his trump card.

The duel between Kirito and Heathcliff is held at an arena where a large crowd is gathered. Asuna warns Kirito to be careful about fighting Heathcliff, as he has also a unique skill called Divine Blade, which grants him maximum strength and defense.

The newly married couple is enjoying their time away from the front lines. But a new guest will take them all the way back to the beginning.

Yulier, second in command, of the Liberation Army has approached Kirito and Asuna for help saving her friend and her guild.

While fishing near a lake, Kirito encounters Nishida, an avid fisherman. He remarks that, despite honing his fisherman skills, he is unable to cook delicious dishes with what he catches. Kirito invites him to his home for Asuna to cook the fish he caught for them. During their meal, Nishida mentions a huge fish he tried to catch many times before but failed, and he asks Kirito to help him.

Game over.

Kirigaya is adjusting to his life outside of the game, but he hasn't forgotten about Asuna. A recent visit to her in the hospital, he meets Sugou Nobuyuki.

A new MMO allows users to fly and encourages player killing. Kirito has joined this new game in search of Asuna and is pleasantly surprised with what he finds.

Leafa, a Sylph player, thanks Kirito for saving her from the attack of player-hunting Salamanders and teaches him how to fly properly. They travel to the sylph territory (Sylvein), where they meet one of Leafa's party members, Recon. Leafa and Kirito go to an inn and have a conversation about how he can get to the top of the World Tree. Seeing Kirito's determination to reach the top of the tree, L

Suguha reminisces about how she started virtual reality gaming, and meets up with Recon's real-life persona, Shin'ichi Nagata. She informs him that she will be leaving their party to join Kirito. Later, she logs-in as Leafa and begins to lead Kirito to the World Tree, which stands in the center of Alfheim.

While en route to the World Tree, the pair first pass through a large cave. Leafa receives a message from Recon cautioning her to take care. She and Kirito realize that they are being followed, only to be cornered by a large group of Salamander players. Kirito asks Leafa to support him with her magic while he fights the group by himself.

The Sylphs and the Cat Siths are holding a secret meeting, with the goal of forming an alliance in order to clear the Grand Quest, completion of which grants entry into the World Tree. A force of Salamanders plans to attack the meeting and Kirito and Leafa reach the meeting place just before the Salamanders attack.

Kirito and Leafa finally reach Central Arun, the capital of Alfheim, located directly beneath the World Tree. However, an emergency shutdown for server maintenance prompts the two to find a nearby inn and log out. The next day, Suguha accompanies Kazuto to visit Asuna at the hospital.

Upon hearing from Yui that Asuna is at the top of the World Tree, Kirito rushes up but finds it blocked by a barrier. Desperate, Yui calls out to Asuna, who hears her cry and throws down the administrator's key card, which Kirito catches.

Even though a wall has been built between Kirito and Sugu, he must save Asuna. The next time he challenges the final dungeon he won't be alone.

Kirito, Asuna, and Yui are finally together again, but the locks placed on Asuna are unbreakable. Before they have a chance to come up with a plan, the fairy king makes his grand entrance.
