Project Alicization, a top-secret government project run by Rath, a company affiliated with the Japan Self Defense Force (JSDF), was started to create the first highly adaptive, «Bottom-up AI». By using a 4th generation FullDive machine, called the Soul Translator (STL), Rath succeeded in copying the Fluctlights (souls) of twelve newborn babies, creating a «Soul Archetype», a non-developed Artificial Fluctlight that could be copied to create new Artificial Fluctlights, which would then need to be nurtured to mature into an individual. For this reason, a virtual world, codenamed «Underworld», was created using the free kernel version of the Cardinal System, The Seed, and then transferred into the STL mainframe via the Mnemonic Visuals feature of the STL.Underworld is set in a past era, when science and philosophy were just being discovered, but instead of recreating a past era, limited terrain and certain customs were introduced so that the inhabitants of the world would form their own society.
The year is 2022. Mankind has finally perfected virtual reality. And within the VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) Sword Art Online, there was a player called Kirito. While he was enjoying the world of SAO, he and the other 10,000 logged-in players all received a frightening message from the Game Master—that the only way to escape from that world was to clear the game, and that a game over within the game would mean their death in the real world. That was the frightening true story behind this game. Kirito was one of the first players to accept this “truth”, and began his solo play, refusing to form a party, as he threw himself into the never ending battles that lay before him…
Follows the heroines from the Aincrad arc through their various adventures in the real world at the SAO Survivor School and in the virtual world of ALfheim Online.

Little did she know that the two boys she encountered on the road to Zakkaria shared her goal of becoming Integrity Knights but would one day go up against the Axiom Church and kill the supreme ruler of the church... A manga adaptation of the Sword Art Online game, Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris.

Yuuki Asuna was a top student who spent her days at cram school and preparing for her high school entrance exams–but that was before she borrowed her brother’s virtual reality game system and wound up trapped in Sword Art Online with ten thousand other frightened players. As time passes, Asuna fears what will become of her life outside the fantasy realm–the failure she might seem in the eyes of her peers and parents. Unwilling to wait on the sidelines for more experienced gamers to beat the game, Asuna employs her study habits to learn the mechanics of game–and swordplay. Her swiftness impresses Kirito, a pro gamer who invites Asuna to join the best players on the front lines. Is Asuna ready to swap class rankings for player rankings and join Kirito?

A year has passed since Kirito and Asuna’s return from the Underworld. With them is Alice, who has been given a physical body. But their peace is quickly broken when the three are suddenly thrust into an unfamiliar game, Unital Ring. This new world is a survival MMO that fuses together every VRMMO created with the Seed program. As soon as it starts, Kirito finds himself with nothing but his underwear. Now, he’s got to challenge a mysterious VRMMOSVG under desperate circumstances!
A manga adaptation of the popular game, Hollow Realization takes place in the VRMMORPG game Sword Art: Origin and sees Kirito and friends traversing the land of Ainground, a rebuild of Aincrad, when they meet a mysterious NPC girl named Premiere who hasn’t been coded into the game. Vowing to protect her, they search to uncover the truth of her null coding while also contending with players who want to erase her existence from the game.
A full year has elapsed since the adventure in Sword Art Online concluded, followed by another ten months of peace after the incident in ALfheim Online. However, strange events have begun to occur once more, this time in the VRMMO game known as Gun Gale Online (GGO). Two players have been shot by an individual cloaked in a mantle who calls himself "Death Gun." Strangely, after their in-game deaths, these players disconnect from the game and are then found dead in reality days later. In light of these events, Kikuoka Seijirou from the VR Crimes Division contacts Kirigaya Kazuto to investigate a connection between the in-game and real-life deaths. It is discovered that Death Gun specifically targets the highest-ranked players, leading Kazuto to take action by transforming his ALfheim Online character into one suitable for Gun Gale Online, and enlisting in the prestigious Bullet of Bullets tournament to try and catch the mysterious killer.
