To those who have not read both parts of the prequel The Darkness Within, I highly suggest you stop reading this now and go back to the previous story.
It has been half a year since the virtual reality death game, Sword Art Online, was pre-maturely ended by the brothers Kirito and Mortifer. It has also been nearly three months since the two of them unraveled the dark secrets hidden inside of ALfheim Online, another VRMMORPG like SAO. With ALfheim Online re-established under new moderators of the company Ymir, the virtual reality genre of games continues to thrive, especially with the addition of New Aincrad inside of New ALO. Aiming to beat all one-hundred floors of the floating castle which he used to be trapped inside of, Mortifer and his friends gather once again to reach the 3rd Floor of New Aincrad, allowing them to access the Create A Guild option in their menus. While this happens, Mortifer, Rizer and Cayonz secretly start an immense project that will require them to use up all of Mortifer's funds and more. Soon after, the summer break starts, and Katsumoto will have to face the one thing he fears most in his life right now: Yuzuki Ai's parents.
The story will be using two symbols that have different meanings:
· Single with italics indicate that the word/phrase is either a nickname, an item name, a guild name, the name of a sword skill or magic spell (Eg. Long Sword The Samurai Wolves of the Full Moon Linear)
· Double with an underline indicate that the word/phrase is the name of a location, the name of a skill, or the name of an ability of a skill (Eg. Starting City One-Handed Sword Tracking)
No More Sorrow is an original story written to line up with events inside of SAO as much as possible. I try to do as much research as I can, so I do not mess up the original story timeline.
Disclaimer
This is a fan fiction. Sword Art Online is owned by A-1 Pictures, Anniplex USA, and Reki Kawahara (the author of the Light Novels). I do not own any part of SAO whatsoever.
