==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.

so, I don't know how far you are into finishing vol 2 chapter 2 part 2, but a few friends and I finished the rest of it because we really wanted to know what happened next. So, I was wondering if you would mind if we went ahead and posted it. If you do, we will refrain, of course. - March
