SAO

SAO is a game set in the near future. The protagonist is one of the lucky few who were able to log into a brand-new online game on its launch day. It uses the recently developed full-dive technology, which allows players to fully immerse themselves in a virtual world. Because there are almost no boundaries with this technology, even the flow of time can be altered, and it has become very popular.

The hype around this particular game was huge in certain communities, as no one knew what it was about. The developers, who were rather unknown, didn’t publish any trailers or in-game footage. The only information that leaked was that it’s a competitive game with a limited number of participants and a huge sum of money for the winner. This information was likely true because a large company sponsored the developers. Thousands of people tried to log in on release day, but only a few were lucky enough to get in.
