About thirty years in the future a fully immersive virtual reality has been created by Halcyon Inc. that allows players to put themselves in a world out side of our own. This world is, for all intents and purposes, a virtual Galaxy for a MMO game, known as Halo: RTS (Real Time Shooter) This game takes MMORPG's to the next level, but unfortunately for the players a hacker has bugged the game, resulting in a permanent game play, where death in game leaves you body still in a comatose state but alive, and the only way for the people to wake is for the game to be beaten, which is done by fighting through the nearly endless waves of Covenant, Rebels and Flood that populate this galaxy. The story is from the perspective of a player, who's name is Raynor, he's a jock, he doesn't play games but his sister and girlfriend do, and so off the belief that he'll never be sucked into the game he joins. Oh how wrong he was. (This story is a fan fic combination of BOTH SAO and Halo, with obvious references to both inside of it. Yes Master Chief and a Kirito like character are in it
