PLOT
Sword Art Online (SAO), a virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game, was released in 2022. Players can experience and control their in-game avatars with the help of NerveGear, a helmet that stimulates the user's five senses through their brain. Akihiko Kayaba is the designer of both the NerveGear and the game. 10,000 players first enter SAO's mainframe cyberspace on November 6, only to find they are unable to log out. When Kayaba emerges, she instructs the players that if they want to be set free, they must conquer all 100 floors of the steel fortress known as Aincrad, which serves as the location for SAO. Additionally, he claims that individuals who die in-game or are forced to take their NerveGear off will die in real life.
