Everyone knows the name, even those that hadn't quite been old enough to know of the horror learned. It's taught now,  the dark times. When being a gamer,  could be deadly. After the trouble in GGO, a few years after the events of anicard.  Nervegear was outlawed ad deemed illegal, that of course didn't stop people from finding ways around the lock dowm. But now, 17 years after that. Nervegear is finally being released for public use, everyone's nervous and most are wary,  no one under 17 can even go near a set.  The new game was advertised to be a crossworld. A mixture of old and new,  there's supposedly even a whole section that recreates anicard and elfheim. Most that wanted a headset, got one.  Not many are so willing to strap into the former death wishes.

I'm one of the few that was willing, it's been about two weeks and already more people are joining the world,  even those that were related to some of the original players of SAO. 

Oh right,  sorry.  I should introduce myself,  my tag is mika, I'm 17 and was one of the first to pick up my copy and headgear,  when I first joined it was a bit overwhelming, so many class and weapon choices, but now I've gotten a pretty good grasp and have made a little name for myself...


It's all went wrong,  3 months in and just as the game hit 1 million players, IT  happened, the log out button dissapeared. The emergency log out was disabled, everyone is in a blind panic, unlike the past. There was no announcement,  no game, we're just cut off...
