Survival in MMOs is a funny thing. It doesn't matter how badly you want it, or how hard you try, it can't be done alone. Especially when the MMO is Sword Art Online. The virtual reality video game in which if you die in game, you die in real life too. It doesn't help either when the most dangerous band of player killers want you dead. It'll be hard enough to survive, but retaining sanity is another task entirely...

Swords? Check. Action? Check. Humor? Check. Correct grammar? Most of the time. A devilishly handsome main character accompanied by a brand new cast of original characters? Check. Fourth wall? What fourth wall? What's up, people? My name is Rocky, and this is my story. You could either choose to read it, or pass up on probably the greatest story of all time. Who doesn't want to see me be a badass? My author does a pretty good job at making me look like one, too... Well, most of the time. [Sword Art Online is property of Reki Kawahara.

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.

If you could enter the world of a video game, would you take the chance? We all know the story of the boy named Kirito, who battled his way through the Castle Aincrad and found love along the way. But he isn't the only person with a story to tell. Have you ever wondered about all those other players who were trapped inside the world of Sword Art Online? I doubt that you have. But if it has crossed your mind, then please indulge yourself with a tale that follows the life of a player who was thrown into a world of chaos. A player who only wanted to escape a dreaded isolation. The following piece of literature is a non-profit fan-based story. Sword Art Online is owned by A-1 Pictures, Aniplex USA and Reki Kawahara.
