Act 1: The Adventure Begins |
Our story takes off directly after Kayaba's speech on the first floor of Aincrad. All of the players of Sword Art Online had purchased the game today. They arrived home to place on a strange headgear called a 'NerveGear' a virtual reality simulation device that directly intercepts your brainwaves and makes it so you can physically control your body within the game, and lose all control of your body in the real world. All players who logged in had noticed something strange though. They were unable to log out. Once the game started gathering enough players, roughly 10,000; the true Sword Art Online had begun. The creator, Kayaba, had warped everyone to the first floor's primary town, the town of beginnings. He had then explained to them all that they will be logged into this game permanently. The only way to be free from this prison is to complete the game, dealing with 100 floors filled with monsters, dungeons, and bosses. The true problem with this though, was when you die in the game the nerve gear would melt your brain in the real world. Some players had died early on due to peoples families and friends trying to take the NerveGears off. Others had gone unconscious for a few hours in game as they were unplugged temporarily and moved to a hospital. Quickly players had begun to realize how this was going to turn out, life or death, some players panic, some begun trying to get ahead of everyone else, and others started to form teams and alliances to help clear the game together. This is where you come in, where will you make your mark on this world? Will you be a vigilante pushing your way through the floors with a team, a player killer, selfishly taking any gear he can for himself, or maybe your too afraid to leave your small apartment in the town of beginnings?
