Story

A story of soul, passion, and therefore, life.

If only… If only Kirito was there. If only Eugeo was there.

In the virtual world known as the “Underworld,” which is approaching its final moments, an unknown adventure is about to unfold…

The demonic land known as “Dark Territory.” On the other side of “The End Mountains” lies a harsh world where only the strongest survive. What awaits Kirito and friends?

The story of life yet unknown begins.

The final moments of the Underworld—a world created to give birth to the ultimate artificial intelligence A.L.I.C.E.—is approaching.

The gate separating the Human Empire and Dark Territory is about to open, and a war is about to begin.

At that moment, a dark knight accompanied by a young girl comes flying in from the other side of the gate.

“Whether the world ends or I die, what difference does it make?”

Is she a calamity who will bring an “end” to their tragic fate impossible to change…?
