Introduction:
The Nerve Gear, the pinnacle of human advancement of Virtual Reality.
A device that wasn't just a screen with sensors to detect movement, but a device which detaches the player from the real world, and immerse him in a virtual world.
Or in other words, a Full Dive.
A huge castle made of stone and steel floating in an endless sky was one of these worlds
That was all this world was.
Spanning 10 kilometers at its base with 100 floors stacking above, it can fit the entire population of my home town of Humboldt, IA a thousand fold. The castle was unbelievable in size and if it existed in real life, would have been one of the greatest architectural engineering feat in mans history.
Anicrad was the name of that floating castle in a virtual world known as Sword Art Online. A world where a sword and a sense of adventure can take you anywhere within. A world which held beauty in every aspect, but also a dark world in which it trapped ten-thousand players. The only way to escape this world is to clear all one-hundred floors. A feat in which the beta players couldn't even accomplished. What was worse is that if we died in this world, we died in reality. It was a death trap.
I was of those players engulfed in this world.
And this is my Story...
