Aincrad ... No Sword Art Online was a game designed to slow players to interact with the game world but unlike the virtual reality ones that came before, a person could feel the wind on their faces and even taste the food. However, things such as pain, hunger and everyday things like going to the bathroom didn't happen, there was only so much the machine could imitate of the real world.

Things like death and fear of never seedings ones love ones didn't exist in this virtual world at least, not before a madman forced the players into a death game.

The creator of the game rigged every machine sold so that when a players family or someone else took of the virtual reality helmet or the Nerve Gear as it was called, the machine would fry the users brain.

Luckily nearly everyone that was trapped in the madman's plan was either a full grown adult, that needed a way to relax from his everyday troubles or a teen with to much free time on his or her hands.

It helped that the game was sold in two versions, the Sword Art Online version sold in Japan and the Gun Gale Online version sold in America. This was due as a result of two separate game companies coming together to help create a new diverse method of playing.

There was no magic in Sword Art Online only a few trinkets here and there, like the ideal teleportation crystals and healing potions. While in Gun Gale Online, there was no way for a player to acquire infinite ammunition, stuff like maps and locations had to be discovered by the players themselves.

This was done so when the players somehow encountered each other, they could learn from the experience, this way a sword user could aquifer a gun from a gun gale player, but he would be limited to the number of bullets the gun had in it.

Fifty thousand games wore sold and could be used by two people, this feature was only given to the small group who bought the first copy of the game, so there were some kids running around.

We lost half that number because when the warning was given out, the player's families tried to take the helmets off and ended up killing them instead, others tried jumping off the Flying Castle we were all sent into when the imbecile informed us of what he had done.

A few vomited suicide and a lot more of us died trying to clear the levels and fighting the monsters that were now all too real, others were killed by people that had no morals and killed other players just because they thought it was fun. That is until a full-fledged war was launched against them and the few madmen that managed to escape being killed by the revenge-filled players now hide in the outskirts of every town or city in the game.

Hard to believe two years have passed since then, now there are three kinds of players those that have given up trying to complete the game and escape so they simply started their new lives in this virtual world, those that never tried, simply because they were too young too old or didn't have the nerves for it and those that continue to fight our way up hoping to complete this game and go back home.

As time passed we found a way to maintain a constant contact with the gun gale players and we even started a trade sis them with them, those guns of their saved our lived more times than we can count and our healing potions according to them have saved many people on their side.

Now it seemed like life has forced us all into something we weren't ready for again once again.
