1. Prologue

By the year 2022, technology had advanced to a point beyond belief. It all began with a brilliant scientist by the name Kayaba Akiko. His technological breakthrough in developing a device that allows humans to dive into games with all five senses. Following Kayaba's success, S.C.O.P.E further developed the 'NerveGear' into a microchip that enables users to dive into their virtual world whenever they like. This device was than named the,Overdrive Process Chip, or OPC for short. S.C.O.P.E proceeded to develop the Overdrive Unlimited Network to increase the speed and efficiency of the internet connection ever since the implantation of OPCs worldwide.

With all the success in the development of the virtual world, a revised version of the very first online virtual game made its way back to the gaming industry-Sword Art Online. As I go against other players and many challenges, I unknowingly draw myself closer to something way bigger than myself and the people around me. My name is Alex and this is my story.
