Haruko Kurosawa is not exactly noticeable. Her father was a drug addict who left Tokyo to deal with his problems, then came back and divorced her mother when she was eight. Her friends at school seem preoccupied, and once people see the real her, it seems like they clear out. Not in this world. Haruko's only escape seems to be gaming. In the MMORPG world, no one knows the real her. And the newest addition to her collection, "Sword Art Online," is sure to be the best of them all. Or so she thinks.

Based off the hit anime series Sword Art Online here's my little fan fiction I came up with. (I own none of the content from SAO) When reality becomes too much there is only one way to escape it. The answer is Sword Art Online. A young boy named Josh is a beta tester who decided to escape reality for a little while. Everything is going his way until the game turned into reality and the log out button dissapeared. A game becomes reality. Watch your backs because if your HP hits zero then you die not just in the game but in real life. You've been warned.
