Trapped inside a virtual death game where a single mistake means permanent death, two unlikely players fight not only for survival but for answers.
Rin, a quiet and calculating lone swordsman known as the Crimson Willow, has no intention of joining guilds or making friends. Aya, a cunning alchemist who thrives in the shadows, trusts no one but the poisons she brews and the silence between attacks. Both thought they could climb the floors alone... until they realized this game hides more than code.
When whispers of a corrupted AI and an ancient force buried beneath Aincrad begin to surface, Rin and Aya find themselves entangled in a mystery that threatens not just the players, but the fabric of reality itself. The deeper they go, the more they question:
Is this still just a game or a prison designed to erase humanity?
For fans of SAO who crave darker paths, complex bonds, and battles where steel cuts deeper than skin this is your next obsession.

Sword Art Online: Reinitialization
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.

Playing is no longer just fun-it becomes the trial of maturing, of learning to distinguish between fantasy and reality... without losing yourself in it. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO THE CREATOR OF SAO
