Aincrad crumbled around the players as Heathcliff exploded into blue-green crystal shards. The sword that Kirito had planted firmly through Heathcliff's chest stayed in the air where Heathcliff's body had been, then wavered, and dropped to the ground. Kirito looked unaware that he was being propelled through the misty skies of Aincrad as the conqueror of the GM's battlefield. Then, for some players, the virtual reality dissolved and they awoke in the hospital. For a few hundred, they did not awake from their virtual slumber. They were in complete blackness. Then, Aincrad began to form again.
They were again in the familiar setting of the Town of Beginnings... but instead of the obsidian monolith being replaced with a resurrection chamber, it was replaced by a graveyard. "Hey!" someone yelled. "We still have our equipment and skills. Let's farm the floor. We left off at 76, right? We're so advanced, they don't stand a chance!" The players all rushed for the fields around the Town. But instead of level 1 boars... They found a field of level 77 skeleton warriors awaiting them. A player grabbed Kirito's unneeded swords and held them aloft. "I got dual blades skill!" Then he growled, "Let's fight."
