Reki Kawahara Knihy

Hlavního hrdinu příběhu o smrtícím MMORPGčku Sword Art Online, ze kterého se do jeho pokoření nelze odhlásit, už známe. Kromě něj a dalších dobyvatelů z první linie v něm ale uvízlo i mnoho jiných hráčů s různými povoláními a vlastními příběhy.Druhá kniha vám představí epizody z krutého, ale přesto radostného herního života čtyř takových uvězněných dívek, které se ve hře setkaly se sólistou Kiritem: krotitelky šelem Silicy, kovářky Lisbeth, záhadné dívky Jui a Sači, na jejíž osud Černý šermíř nezapomene do konce života.

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.
