Reki Kawahara Knihy

Asuna se stále neprobudila ze Sword Art Online, a tak se za ní Kirito vydal do MMOčka jménem Alfheim Online. ALO je virtuální hra nové generace. Hráče láká akčními souboji, v nichž vítězí reflexy a strategie, vílími rasami brázdícími tamní nebe a dokonalou grafikou, za kterou by se nemuselo stydět ani SAO. Kirito v něm jako spriggan míří ke světovému stromu – místu hlavního questu celé hry a zároveň Asunině vězení. Cestou už málem padl za oběť skupině salamandrů, ale díky pomoci sylfské dívky Leafy a navigační vílečky Jui nakonec vyvázl živý. A až společně konečně stanou před kořeny světového stromu, čeká je nepříjemné překvapení...

Kirito úspěšně unikl ze smrtícího Sword Art Online a hned po probuzení vyráží za dívkou, po jejímž boku ve hře bojoval a která je zároveň jeho životní láskou. Dozvídá se ovšem, že Asuna Júki se z té noční můry pořád neprobrala, a propadá beznaději. Jeho jediným vodítkem je fotka, na které dívka vypadá jako víla zavřená v záhadné kleci. Stopa ho zavede k nadupanému MMORPGčku Alfheim Online, ve kterém je Asuna nejspíš uvězněná. Aby ji Kirito zachránil, nezbývá mu nic jiného než se po hlavě vrhnout do světa létajících víl. Vílí tanec právě začíná!

Sword Art Online je virtuální MMORPG z dílny geniálního vědce Akihika Kajaby. Jedná se o nemilosrdnou hru, ze které se nedá odhlásit a game over znamená smrt i v reálném světě. Jeden z prvních, kdo pravidla tohoto smrtícího RPGčka přijal za své, je mladý Kirito, který létajícím hradem Aincradem putuje na vlastní pest, aby pro sebe získal co nejvíc jeho omezených zdrojů. Osud si pro něj ovšem připravil jiné plány v podobě Asuny, zástupkyně velitele gildy jménem Bratrstvo krve. Dokáže tato dívka změnit samotářského Kirita přezdívaného Černý šermíř? A povede se jim nakonec uniknout z tohoto virtuálního světa? SAO je hra, se kterou se nezahrává. Boj na život a na smrt muže začít.

Linked up and logged into the deadly VMMORPG "Sword Art Online" in both the real and virtual worlds, Kirito is stuck in a hell of one man's making, and like everyone else, unable to escape until the game is beaten. But while some players are crippled by fear and others throw themselves into completing the game, still others relax into everyday life in the face of their cruel predicament and live to the best of their ability...laughing, crying, but always enjoying the game. Among them are four women who make a mark upon the solo adventurer that Kirito has become: Silica, the beast-tamer; Lisbeth, the blacksmith; Yui, the mysterious orphan; and the tragic Sachi, never to be forgotten by the black swordsman...
