SAO but different. Mostly canon (SAO and progressive) except everyone is aged up 2 years, 20,000 people are trapped instead, and Kirito isn't a complete shut-in thanks to an unexpected friendship IRL. AU elements possible and likely eventual Kiri/Argo/Non triad as the story evolves.

Following the end of the second "Bullet of Bullets," a tournament in GGO...a third body is found. In response, Kirigaya Kazuto, better known as "Kirito" is sent to stop the bleeding. However, with increased pressure from his higher-ups, and the thought of another body appearing, the Virtual Division leader decides to send the Black Swordsman 'extra' help...from across the Pacific.

Kazuto Kirigaya is the Most Powerful Psychic in the world. Sadly, that's not helpful when all he wants is a normal, boring school life. Brocon sisters, childhood friends, transfer students, and teenage problems on top of it all... What's someone cursed to be the Main Character to do?

After the VRMMORPG 'Aincrad Online' was announced, Ayano Keiko found out her aunt was on the dev team. As a small present, she gave Keiko access to an admin account to play around with. Now stuck in a game where everyone is gunning for her, Silica must ask how far she is willing to go to survive.

Kazuto 'Kirito' Kirigaya is a teen with a slight video game obsession. When the worlds first ever full dive VRMMORPG dropped, of course he was one of the first to get it. However this decision proves unwise when the game becomes real. Suddenly stuck in a world of spaceships and galactic war, Kirito has to find a way to survive without sacrificing to much along the way.

Inspired by 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy', this "Guide" provides an (un)helpful introduction to various aspects of the Sword Art Online franchise for those living in it. So grab a pint, and prepare to (not) learn about the virtual worlds of swords, guns, magic and everything between.

Another D&D like story where my character has a dense background. This time, done in the world of Sword Art Online Sword Art Online is owned by A-1 Pictures, Aniplex USA, and Reki Kawahara.

This is ALO but SAO (confusing, i dont care)

Leafa falls in love with the sexy pink-haired blacksmith. NSFW Yuri/ Erotic

Dupin was always good at finding glitches in games that he could ruthlessly exploit. Now that he's trapped in SAO, he has to put his skills to the test to make sure he gets out. And of course, reap the benefits along the way. Scumbag MC, lemons, non-con/dub-con. Short series.

Kirigaya Kazuto didn't like card games...something that was quite awkward when the whole world suddenly started to revolve about one of said games, thanks to Kayaba Akihiko. Perhaps, though, venturing into the new virtual world created by the same man to play Centoria Legends much more realistically would help him understand the Hype? Only one way to find out...(One-shot)

The Underworld is a wonder of engineering, with NPCs that are actually human. But no matter what, nothing's going to stop me from finding Kirito and getting him out of this place. Even if I have to challenge the world to do it.

"Hey LLENN. Do you know about the Bullet of Bullets?" It was question that would change both the stories of two certain individuals for the better or for the worst.

Kirito and Asuna learn that exploring unfinished indie VR games on the Seed Archives has its own unique dangers.

This is after SAO and ALO but GGO has not happened. This is an alternate version where Yui comes to the real world. This is not an action-based Fanfic, it is family-based. This is a tale of Kirito and Asuna's day to day life with Yui. I hope you enjoy it!

Following the untimely death of his cousin Suguha, Kazuto Kirigaya loses his will to continue fighting. But after a chance meeting with a familiar face, he goes down a darker path of revenge, violence, and lust, bringing Asuna Yuuki with him. How will the world handle this new Kirito? Takes place after the events of "Giving Up" by furrballnerd.

An alternate story of Kirito and Asuna where they meet by chance after enrolling to the same college. Asuna studying Business/Marketing under her family’s wishes, and Kirito studying Robotics and Tech. The two form a bond unlike any other, but can that bond withstand the weight of expectations of the world around them?

Kirito and lisbeth meet as two Broken Souls that lost their guilds in the death Game known as Sword Art Online

After being a prisoner for the Laughing Coffin Guild, a player, who has long since forgotten his true name, finally escapes and goes on his own and tries to clear the Death Game, which is Sword Art Online.

When the Dark Fantasy-inspired VRMMORPG Sword Art Online goes from being a fun pastime to a brutal game of death, Kirigaya Kazuto suddenly finds himself trapped in a world of wicked monsters and eldritch horror. When the sound of death and screams is all one hears, how does one keep sane? A Dark Fantasy / Grimdark SAO AU. Rated M for a reason.

To cheer up his strangely melancholy partner, Jaymes does all her can think of. Renting a home, preparing dinner, giving him a day of rest-all without knowing today's the most special day for Koharu. Yet, for him, making sure her smile persists is a gift in itself.

Just some what if scenarios for Sword Art Online I hope you enjoy!

An alternative story to SAO with different characters and plot. The main protagonist was not heavy into gaming. After overhearing the new concept of VR game play, it peaked his interest. Exploring the popular MMORPG game and its realism, he started to notice distortions that changed the game's settings and rating. The further he continues, the game starts to affect his reality.

Minami's brows furrowed, his viridian gaze narrowing as he took in Klein's face and tried to place the redhead. Slowly recognition lit up the raven's eyes. "Aa, curry bun!" Minami declared and Klein winced, recalling the day they first met in the real world. Slash/Male x Male - Klein/OMC
