*Comment what more infos you want and I'll put them here 'cause I can't think of any xD

[Story Canon]
This story will end like in the anime instead of like the game because I want to make it short and simple and continue for other arcs. But if you prefer storyline like Integral Factor, let me know and I'll make a separate ending so that readers who prefer anime ending can read this too.

Also, I'm putting Mito (Asuna's friend from the Progressive movie) into the story. Characters like Leafa, Sinon and Yuuki won't appear like in other fanfics.

[Upload Schedule]
For now, I can't guarantee a good schedule for new chapters but I'll try hard to update every two or three days. If I'm diligent, I'll update two or three chapters a day. Please don't expect much from me though!

[Onomatopoeia]
I don't think I'll be using much of this since I liked to describe actions by sentences rather than simple words but there will still be some. These would be the most common onomatopoeia in the novel;
- *swish* > This indicates a fast movement of something (or someone)
- *slash* > This indicates the attack of slashing weapons like swords, daggers and axes
- *stab* > This indicates the attack of thrusting weapons like rapiers and spears
- *smash*, *slam* > These indicate the attack of blunt weapons like hammers, maces and shields
- *clang* > This indicates the sound of weapons against weapons or weapons against armors
- *shiing*, *shwing* > These indicate the start of sword skills
- *shatter* > This indicates the death of mobs or players

[Q&A Section]
Q. Will the MC be overpowered?
A. Yes, but he won't be more powerful than the original MC, Kirito. At the very least, he will be the third strongest after Heathcliff. For now, I'm thinking of the strength ranking like this;
1- Kirito
2- Heathcliff
3- (U/N)
4- Asuna

Q. Will Sachi be alive or dead?
A. Sadly, no. According to the anime, Sachi is Kirito's first love so if she survived, I couldn't think of a way to make Kirito with Asuna xd but after reading Progressive series, I thought maybe Kirito wouldn't have chosen Sachi anyway since he would blame himself for Sachi being almost dead. But still, I would do the original anime scene.

Comment down if you want me to make an alternative of which Sachi is alive!

Q. What do you mean by slow-paced for this book?
A. Unlike the original anime which skip through to 74th floor, I'll use Progressive version which will show the progress on (almost) every floor in SAO. This will take some times before the ending and that means no Fairy Dance, Phantom Bullet or Alicization in near future xD

Q. Are the sword skill names in the story from the light novel?
A. Nope! Since the light novel doesn't reveal much sword skills name (except for Kirito and Asuna's skills), I will be naming some of them myself! And of course, some of them will be taken from SAOIF (hope the players and dev team aren't offended :P).

*Ask your question in the comment and I will put the answers here! :D

Last but not least, I can't guarantee a fun reading since I'm not really a good writer, but I hope I can improve and you will enjoy the read! :)
