Cool-headed, systematic and attention-phobic Brian Moriarty meets the walking-cyclone slash earthquake-waiting-to-happen Alice Snow. Their differences showed and repulsed. Their opinions were smashed face-first to the other. Their minds battled in an almost furious spite. Their worlds naturally clashed in every way possible.

Ngunit sa pagumpisa ng laro, agad na napalitan ng kilabot ang kasiyahan ng mga manlalaro. Sa kabila ng kamanghamanghang features ng Sword Art Online, nadiskubre nila na nawawala ang pinaka-basic na function sa kahit anong MMORPG-- ang Log-Out button. Ngayong nakakulong sa birtwal na mundo at bihag ng NerveGear ang kanilang katawan sa totoong mundo, binigyan ang mga manlalaro ng ultimatum: sakupin ang isang daang palapag ng Aincrad para mabawi ang kanilang kalayaan. Ngunit sa buktot na mundo ng Sword Art Online, kamatayan ang katumbas ng "Game Over"-- mapa-birtwal man o sa totoong mundo...
