This AU mixes Season 1 of Sword Art Online with elements from the video game Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment. The story begins after the Floor 1 boss has been defeated, with you as another player trapped inside SAO as the climb through Aincrad truly begins. Because Hollow Fragment elements are included, Sinon and Leafa are also trapped in the game early, alongside Kirito, Asuna, Lisbeth, Silica, Philia, Strea, Klein, Agil, Argo, and others. Players must survive the death game, clear floors, manage guild politics, face monsters and player killers like Laughing Coffin, and uncover the mystery of the Hollow Area. The main clear path is still to escape Aincrad.
