Quick Synopsis

In the year 2026, a new gaming device called the Augma is introduced as a competitor to earlier virtual reality systems like the NerveGear and Amusphere. Unlike those devices, the Augma does not offer full-dive virtual reality; instead, it uses augmented reality technology to overlay game elements onto the real world, allowing players to stay conscious and aware while playing. This safety and convenience make the Augma very popular. The top game on this platform is "Ordinal Scale," an augmented reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game (ARMMORPG) developed specifically for the Augma. Asuna and her friends have been playing Ordinal Scale for some time when Kirito finally decides to join them. However, they soon discover that the game involves more serious and dangerous elements beyond just entertainment.
