This story continues a plot-line established in A Newbie's Quest, along with the new Sector Q side-plot in Pirate Wars. Newcomers will be confused if they haven't read those! The main crossover of this story will be Sword Art Online, a rather favored anime of mine that has its noticeable kinks, but is still nonetheless enjoyable. Naturally, there will be other crossovers such as Glitch Techs, with the focus being series about virtual reality.

As a sea of code splayed before the user's vision, a pair of rings rotated within their U.I.. Within the center of those rings appeared a castle of incomparable size, 100 floors tall and all the width of valleys. "Welcome to Aincrad, the land where dreams become reality. No matter your race, gender, or identity, Aincrad is a world where you can be anything you please. Avatars are made with millions of customization options. Have humans ever wished to be mermaids? Have mermaids ever wished to be humans? You can become whatever race you wish, with sizes ranging from three inches to 30 feet, and master whatever skill you wish. The virtual reality enables one to grasp any number of skills, ranging from cooking, fishing, marksmanship, and everyone's favorite, combat. By automatically assisting your muscles in performance, Aincrad is designed to improve one's muscle memory as they perfect their skills in the real world."
The screen switched to an image of Akihiko Kayaba, the President of Hinobi, who had gray hair and a labcoat. "Hinobi has dedicated its heart and soul to creating this game where everyone can be equal. We have worked tirelessly to rid the game of any and all errors. After only four days since publication, we have sold billions of NerveGear setups to customers all across the cosmos. My staff have interviewed a number of customers who express delight with the software."
The screen showed a chubby Glomourian boy with glasses. "I'm not good at using swords like my friends, but in Aincrad, I think I'm really good at it! I get to look all cool, and it feels so real! Huhu, I like it!"
A Goomba woman was shown next. "I gave myself a body with long, springy arms, and it feels so amazing! I always thought using arms would be difficult, but it comes so natural to me, I don't wanna stop!"
A yellow-haired Harnitan girl said in an average, shy voice, "My friend is a KND operative who lost her arms in the Pirate War, and um, she never stopped crying, but she says Aincrad makes her happy, and she never wants to leave."
"Indeed, Aincrad is able to accommodate people with any disability. We have NerveGear varieties designed to suit people with sensitive skin, tubes for people who need assisted breathing, and other types. By activating the NerveGear, your consciousness will be transmitted to the Aincrad Cloud, where you can meet, befriend, or challenge players from the universe over. Your real body will fall into a sleep-like state. It is therefore advised you play in a safe environment, and please take regular breaks to give your real body some exercise."
