Sword Art Online: Aincrad
ソードアート・オンライン アインクラッド
In 2022, gamers will be thrilled as Sword Art Online (SAO), a VRMMORPG that offers an unprecedented gaming experience through NerveGear technology. This innovative system enables players to fully immerse themselves in the game world by manipulating their brain waves. However, when SAO launches, gamers' initial excitement quickly turns into fear as they realize that one crucial feature of any MMORPG is missing: a log-out button. Trapped within the virtual world of Aincrad and held captive in real life by NerveGear, players are given an ominous choice: conquer all 100 floors of Aincrad to regain their freedom. But in the distorted reality of SAO, "game over" equates to certain death-both virtual and actual.
Sword Art Online: Aincrad was published in English by Yen Press in a 2-in-1 omnibus on March 25, 2014.
