Summary
In the near future, thousands of players log into Sword Art Online, a virtual reality MMORPG, only to discover they cannot log out - and dying in the game means dying in real life. To escape, they must clear all 100 floors of the castle Aincrad. Skilled solo player Kirito teams up with the rapier-wielding Asuna as they fight to survive and find a way back to the real world.
