This time, the protagonist is...you!
You appear in this online RPG as a member of an Assault Team, working with other imprisoned players to reach the 100th floor of Aincrad!

What if you were trapped in a game of life or death?
You can experience meeting familiar characters and connecting to the original SAO story from your own POV.
Experience behind-the-scenes stories not seen in the original SAO, and completely different story developments! Live out a "what-if" story where you affect Aincrad!

Battle System
Fight through the sprawling fields of Aincrad with your partner Koharu, trapped together in a game of life and death!
