Sword Art Online: Starting with the Beater’s Aria

Henshi Shindo is reborn in the real world of Sword Art Online, where he eventually comes across a mysterious notebook known as the [God’s World Setting Compendium].Through its power, he earns a place in the closed beta test for Sword Art Online, stepping into Aincrad even though he knows exactly what awaits when the game officially launches. As Akihiko Kayaba once said:“This may be a game, but it’s not something you play.” Shindo knows the truth better than anyone. In Sword Art Online, when people are killed, they really die. He knows that ten thousand players will be trapped inside Aincrad. He knows that death in the game means death in reality. He knows the nightmare awaiting everyone on November 6, 2022. And yet, when the day finally arrives, Shindo still places the NerveGear over his head without hesitation. Because if everything he gains inside SAO can become real…then perhaps this death game is also the chance he has been waiting for. “Link Start!” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Sword Art Online: Starting with the Beater’s Aria — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
