"You know, Onii-chan, I had another dream last night. In my dream, there was a floating castle in the sky..." In which Akihiko Kayaba's dream was not his own, and the Death Game was instigated by a monster born out of that dream.

Making games was hard. SAUER knew that. But it was especially hard for an Australian to get recognition in Japan, while working for an American-founded company. Once he had done it, though, he would prepare to connect with a large quantity of his new fellows at once - only to find that he would be spending a lot more time with them than he initially had in mind.

In one universe, Argo is delayed from starting a quest on the 22nd floor by a scam involving smuggled potions. In this universe, she isn't. One week later, Kirito and Asuna rescue her.

What if Aincrad was made like a souls game, where every player only got 50 lives and once all 50 are used, you die in real life. Asuna's life seemed perfect, until she was forced into the game. Kazuto can't trust anyone and feels lied too about everything. So what happens when they meet up and decide to try and survive together.

In the wake of Unital Ring's rise, Kirito, Jaymes, and their friends are threatened by a new enemy-Mutasina, a mysteriously powerful witch and leader of the Virtual Study Society who has roped in one hundred ALO players under her control. But the troubles don't end there: Someone outside Rath has logged into the Underworld, and to investigate, Jaymes will need new friends.

This is a redraft of my one-shot fanfic, "Mother's Gift". Kirito gets invited to Asuna's to celebrate Christmas Eve with her family. Upon exchanging gifts, the Black Swordsman and the Yuuki family discover the true meaning of the holiday and how surprises can come in all shape and sizes. Set after Unital Ring. Kiriasu/Kirisuna

"We exchanged our spears and our swords, with rifles and handguns. Our platemail with plate carriers. Our guild badges with shoulder patches. Our regrets with grim determination. From the heavenly peaks we descended to the dust and the mud, to bring the dead back to life." A post-Phantom Bullet & Caliber story. Stars Argo (Hosoka Tomo) and Sinon (Asada Shino).

Kirito is severely injured during a mission in SAO, leaving Asuna to come to his rescue.

Ruminant le passé pendant plus de six ans, Alice Züberg est une femme résignée depuis que son ami d'enfance, Eugeo, a été emmené à la capitale de Centoria. Depuis, Alice n'a aucun espoir de récupérer ce souvenir perdu … jusqu'à qu'elle rencontre une égarée de Vector dans la forêt de Rulid, son nom est Asuna.

La vida real a veces resulta abrumadora y a veces, extrañamente satisfactoria, sobre todo cuando el mundo conspira en contra de Kirito para volverlo loco.

On December 25th, 2023, the death game, Sword Art Online was cleared, freeing the remaining players. Suguha Kirigaya was elated to have her brother back, but he is different from the brother whom she once remembered, so she vows to make him feel better, no matter what it takes. Kirito x Suguha/Leafa KiriSugu

Sinon had faced many horrors in her time in Gun Gale Online: slavers, raiders, mutants, blood machines, and transhuman warriors. But turning into a cat was a new one. Why does she continue playing this stupid game? It also didn't help that Kirito kept scratching her ears. (KiriSinon)

They never meant to end up like this. Kirito, a former pariah turned a hollow husk after the disaster of SAO. Quinella, a girl whose ambition turned her into a monster. Although enemies at first, a misfortunate set of events will force them to work together if they hope to protect the world they came to love. And maybe, just maybe, together they shall mend their scars.

All of you know the story of Kirito, the Black Swordsman, and his adventures throughout SAO. What if I told you there was another hero that was involved as much as, if not more, than the main cast that we know and love? Join me on this incredible journey through the eyes of a game developer/admin who was also trapped into the death game with his siblings and our friends from SAO!

After the brutal 25th Floor Boss Raid, Asuna has left Kirito's side to join the Knights of Blood. With his partner gone, Kirito resigns himself to returning to the life of a solo player-until a familiar face from the lower floors unexpectedly reenters his life. The strangely-human NPC Kizmel, despite her quest being over, has returned to his side... Kirito/Kizmel.

The tale of the Black Swordsman, a mischievous Rat, and the water Shinobi; before they were renowned by those names by both sides of the coin before they were faced with a monumental task, they were just Beta Testers, misfits. The story of Kirito, Argo, and Nagi began long before the Death Game and the memories throughout Aincrad.

How would things change if Sword Art Online had magic in some form? Read, as this story tries to show this through alchemy, where those who are alchemists can create magical items & gear from crystals and other items. How would things change? What if there was a hidden agenda in adding this ability? This story will tell about the first month of being trapped in SAO & beyond. Harem.

Kirito and Asuna struggle with Yui's constant need for attention and annoying high-pitched voice.

This is a story of how I would've made Sword Art Online and the characters/plot I would add or take away to mold the story into how I like it

Asuna was always known as a straightforward one who pushed through to get what she wanted. But she was also gentle and kind, and understood other's pain more than anyone. To some, she was a radiant light, an ideal friend they could take comfort in. An outlook into the many friendships Yuuki Asuna has formed in her life.

Sometimes it's not the demons without that pose the greatest danger, but the demons within. No one knows this better than "the doctor", who, due to his lack of combat ability, has decided to do his part for Aincrad's player-base in an entirely unusual way: by helping them overcome the monsters that lurk inside their heads, and inside their hearts.

"No matter what happens, we'll all be together, and we'll never stop fighting." The SAO cast have lived through so much and they'll always be together regardless of the game, world, and AU. Regardless of where their next adventure lies, they'll do it together. Collection of mostly One-shots AUs of romance, angst, fluff, humor, everything.

The story is based on the game SAO integral factor in where you roleplay as a player trapped in the death game along 10,000 other players, the story goes with fanmade plot points, some changes were made as well as dialogues, the story is based on (You) the main protagonist and your partner Koharu Honda, will you be able tu survive along with her and your friends and return home?

Based on the game Re:Hollow Fragment. After reaching the 76th floor of Aincrad, the Assault Team is in disarray. There are too many issues to handle: Heathcliff's secret identity, a huge system error and new, inexperienced players arriving at the frontlines, even from outside the game! Help arrives in form of a player who's experienced in training other players.

Escaping his new life in Japan, the last thing Michael Edmondson expected was to be trapped in the game Sword Art Online, alongside nearly ten thousand others, fighting for their lives and freedom... funny how things work out, really. Based loosely off Integral Factor at first, with elements of Progressive and the Gameverse, alongside original story elements.
