Gun Gale Online, the world's first PvP VRMMO. Given in a limited launch to only four thousand players, it will become one of modern histories greatest tragedies as the players struggle against each other to claim the title of strongest in a death game they've been trapped in. Only the strongest will win the Grand Ballad of Bullets, and only the strongest will survive. KiritoXSinon

They say a true friend is someone you can rely on when everything seems hopeless, and for Shino, that person was Kazuto Kirigaya, her best - and only - friend. But Shino didn't want to rely on Kazuto as much as she did, so when beta testing opened for a new game called Sword Art Online, she submitted an application...

Strength. Kazuto has it. Asuna has it. The woman I love has it. So, what is it? ...I'm, uh, asking for some friends. Totally. Describe them? ...Uh, one's about this tall, carries a big sniper rifle. The other's really, really good with a sword. Know them?

Planeptune is on its last limbs. Shares are at an all time low, Neptune has run herself ragged trying to support what's left of her country, and Nepgear has been comatose for weeks. Fearing the demise of their nation imminent, Histoire summons the other CPUs to request that they save Planeptune, using the only means left: One of the CPUs... must marry Neptune. [Part 3 is here!]

We're back from Aincrad. Well, most of us. 300 players are still asleep, and of those 300, only one matters to me. So when I find out something that might be the reason why Asuna's still asleep, what the hell do you expect me to do? Stand by and watch? Hardly. I take what I want, and right now I want her awake. Nothing will stop me or Kazuto from accomplishing that goal. Nothing.

Kirito? Asuna? They've got it made - fighting skills, popularity, notoriety... the list goes on and on. And who's that, in the back of the frame, just slightly out of focus? Why, that's me, of course. I've got intelligence, and that's about it. Surviving the Death Game's gonna be tough.
