Summary of Sword Art Online: Progressive
This is a story that goes back to before those names of “Lightning Flash” and “The Black Swordsman” were known. The day Asuna Yuuki put on the NerveGear, she was a third grade student who had never been involved in a game. On November 6, 2022, the world’s first VRMMORPG, Sword Art Online, is officially released. But players, who are still excited to connect, are suddenly trapped inside the game when the Game Master gives them no chance to leave. The Game Master gives them this warning “this may be a game, but it is not something to be played with.”
If a player dies in the game, they also die in real life. When this is heard, panic breaks out among the players, and chaos reigns. Asuna is one of these players, but despite not yet knowing the rules of that world, she is on her way to conquer Aincrad, the floating iron castle whose peak is too high to see. As the days go by in this world where death is not far away, she has a fateful encounter. And then say goodbye. Although at the mercy of reality before her eyes, Asuna fights with all her strength until someone appears before her: the cold sword, Kirito…
