What if the Final Load Test never existed and Cardinal's request to Kirito and Eugeo was merely to stop Quinella from playing with human lives? What if Gabriel Miller and Vassago never invaded Ocean Turtle and there was no war between the Human Empire and Dark Territory? What if the rebel against Quinella had gone horribly wrong for the trio, Kirito, Eugeo and Alice? What if...Kirito was synthesized in the midst of a gruesome battle with Quinella? Would Asuna be able to bring him back? This story takes place when the Rulid trio had freed Eugeo from his brainwashing, reunited and was confronting Quinella on the 100th floor, the peak of Central Cathedral. From the climax of the battle of justice, the beginning to a blighted journey.

Alice Zuberg is a sheltered girl who is highly intellegent and very athletic, but has bad trust issues with romance do to a childhood accident. One day her parents bought her a NerveGear and the new game Sword Art Online, where she will later meet the one person who she will truely come to love in the form of a Black Swordsman. **An alternate universe where Alice is Kirito's love interest instead of Asuna. I love Alice and I read many fics of Sinon or Yuuki from SAO, so I wanted to write Alice in one. Note: I do not own Sword Art Online or it's characters, this is for entertainment purposes only through how I see the show.

SAO:R is a creative fan story like no other, about a new set of experiments Rath is performing with the fluctlight technology. A few "instances" of digital history have been recreated from Kirito's fluctlight data and the data of other people who have dived into the Underworld or lived in it, and they have created artificial alternate universes in the same style as the Underworld itself. One of these instances' Kirito has died unexpectedly, and Kikuoka calls in the REAL Kirito to fill in and continue where his other self left off. Unfortunately, things get complicated as usual. Not only does the world he's diving into have another Alice, but she's the mother of two children, who happen to be Kirito's! Additionally, strange occurances are causing havoc despite Higa's best efforts. But that's not the only mess this whole AU project has caused in VR... it gets much worse... Originally created by me and BlueRoseKnight, along with Jean (visual artist), Seiren (cover artist) and Monica (assistant writer) of Vorpal Blade Productions, I seek to bring you something new; taking visual queues from the Alicization anime as well as Light Novel quality writing and a remixed opening cinematic to present what may be one of the most compelling SAO fanfictions to date. This is Sword Art Online: Reinitialization.
