An original action and science-fiction novel by Laura Bowden. (Edited by Emilyy Goff)
Meiko is addicted to the internet. More specifically, the most popular VR game out there - the Code. In the Code, your avatar can be challenged to duel with other players, the result of the duel moving one of the players up in the rankings. There is a glitch, in the game, however, one that brings the simulation to life. Players whose avatar gets shot wake up from the simulation with a gunshot wound or something along those lines. None of the game's admin know who or what has spawned the glitch - but Meiko has a hunch. With headset and controller in hand, she investigates all the injured and disappearing players, bringing all their ailments back to the same player - 'blackswordsmen_' - one who has mysteriously never been beaten in a supervised duel.

An Englishman in Castle Aincrad
The Sword Art Online incident of 2022 shook the world. For the first time, someone had successfully weaponised video games, and virtual reality. World leaders in the fields, and just world leaders scrambled to find a solution... None of which was of any comfort to the 10,000 people already in the game. Especially not the ''bloody fool of an Englishman'' who'd gone into the game for escapism from his new life in Japan. So, what happens when said ''bloody fool'' decides to fight his way through the death game? Let's find out, shall we! Some of this will be based off Integral Factor, whilst the rest will likely be original or have bits from the Gameverse.
