'Sword Art Online. A game that was created by none other than Akihiko Kayaba. A game that pretty much revolutionized the VRMMORPG industry. A game that killed four thousand innocent people.

The SAO Incident caused the NerveGear to suffer in sales and in general use. Most of those who were lucky enough to have survived SAO have almost never touched it since then, some have even thrown it away. Not out of anger, but out of fear. To make things worse, those who weren't a part of the ten thousand unlucky participants never even went near a NerveGear for the longest time. People have resorted to safer options, the most popular one being the AmuSphere.

Now, 18 months later, the NerveGear has almost been completely forgotten. The few people left who do still have one haven't touched it for months and have most likely forgotten that they have it. Akihiko Kayaba and his creations are slowly fading from existence.

However, despite Kayaba's mysterious disappearance and apparent "Death", That doesn't mean his expansive mind isn't affecting the world even to this day. A machine called the Medicuboid has made itself known to a small percentage of the world. The Medicuboid is a machine that is also a piece of FullDive technology developed solely for medical purposes. It's used to improve the quality of life and help treat terminally ill patients.

It isn't something that's particularly new to us though. A girl, Yuuki Konno, was diagnosed with Human Immunodeficiency Virus at a young age. To save her, the government decided that she would be the first person in the world to use the Medicuboid, and although it succeeded in keeping her alive, it never made her condition any better. So, as a result of failing to know how to use the Medicuboid properly, The government has only one option. Ask the creator himself.'


Hello, DxDBourne here! This is an updated, more user-friendly Foreward chapter as the previous one was too dated to leave be. A couple of things before you get started.

Firstly, please just bear with the first few chapters. I made them almost five years ago now and some of the writing in them is a tad cringe, and it's much too long for me to want to remake. Don't panic thou, it's only the first five or six. After that, it's good stuff ;)

Secondly, if you are about to start reading then strap in and prepare yourself because it's going to be a long one. I originally intended to use every single floor in the story, but have since dropped that because of how much time that would take, but it's still gonna be a chunky boi so I hope that's something that interests you.

Lastly, of course, I really hope you enjoy this story of mine! It's been a joy to write it all this time and I am always working slowly on eventually finishing it. Not saying it's the best fanfic out there, but it is my pride and joy and I would love it if you at least gave it a try, whaddya say? :D
