==Story Synopsis==
Escape was impossible until it was cleared; a game over would mean an actual «death»―. 
Without knowing the «truth» of the mysterious next generation MMO, «Sword Art Online» (SAO), approximately ten thousand users logged in together, opening the curtains to this cruel death battle. 
Participating alone in SAO, protagonist Kirito had promptly accepted the «truth» of this MMO. 
And in the game world, a gigantic floating castle named «Aincrad», he distinguished himself as a solo player. 
Aiming to clear the game by reaching the highest floor, Kirito riskily continued alone. 
Because of a pushy invitation from a female warrior and rapier expert, Asuna, he teamed up with her. 
That encounter brought about an opportunity to call out to the fated Kirito―. 

The legendary novel made an appearance with browsing numbers exceeding 6.5 million page views recorded at the personal website.

Participating alone in SAO, protagonist Kirito had promptly accepted the "truth" of this MMO.

Aiko: /* Question */

Aiko, do you mind if I shift it to past tense? That is what we did the whole Fairy Dance Arc in, but if you mind I can just leave it - either way works.--[[User:Darn2k|Darn2k]] 21:03, 24 May 2011 (UCT)

I don't mind, I'm too lazy to read through it all again and change it myself though --[[User:Aiko|Aiko]]
=Question=
While reading Vol 7 ch1(since is a side story it shouldn´t hurt too much if i go ahead and read it,xD.), i found this:

"All of them, beautifully. Reportedly not a single person was able to cut down more than 30% of her health, she should be quite strong."

...

"Even though we were about even when both of our HP was around 60%... In the end I got defeated by a normal skill."

Isn´t this contradictory? although it may not be an error, since rumors tend to be innacurate(the first line refers to the rumors about Zekken, the second is Lyfa talking about their fight)i though i should mention it and see if you could check...?--[[User:Caramu|Caramu]] 22:18, 24 May 2011 (UCT)

:I believe it's referring to those 30 people who initially challenged her. Perhaps 'not a single one of them' would've fit better. --[[User:Aiko|Aiko]]
