Saitou Sora isn't your average 14 yr old boy. He's always been bullied, he gets into trouble for stuff that he hasn't done, and he wishes that he was never born. Until the new VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) Sword Art Online is released. Sora thinks that this is his big break! To get away from everybody when he's home. At least that is what he thinks until he can't log out of the game! That is when the battle for his life begins. Along the way, he will meet Kirigaya Kazuto (Kirito), Yuuki Asuna (Asuna), and all of the other characters from the anime series. Together they will battle it out for the future of mankind and VRMMORPG's as they know it. The battle for survival begins now...
