Sword Art Online - Last Testament
Ten thousand players are imprisoned inside Aincrad. A Game Over means genuine, physical death. While most spiral into panic, the young swordsman Haru grabs a simple set of starter armor and steps into the unknown. He refuses to wait for a miracle.

Haru knows this blade could be the salvation for everyone-or his own death sentence. He must decide exactly when to play this single, final trump card. Yet, in a world created by a madman, the rules are rarely as simple as they appear in the menu...
