Monument of Life

The **Monument of Life** (生命の碑, *Seimei no Ishibumi*) is a large stone tablet that lists every player in Sword Art Online.

## Description

The Monument of Life if a large black tablet that extends ten meters diameter and lists the names of all the 10,000 players of SAO. When the players died their names are automatically crossed out, with the cause, time, day, and month of death written beside it, though the year of death is not recorded.

## Trivia

* As Sword Art Online does not support kanji in player names, it is possible for two people to have a name that would be pronounced the same but would be differently Romanized.
Sachi

**Sachi** (サチ, *Sachi*) was a player of Sword Art Online. She was a member of the Moonlit Black Cats.

## Appearance

Sachi was a petite girl with shoulder-length dark blue hair and a small mole right under the corner of her right eye. She wore a light blue tunic with a chestguard, a knee-length short skirt and grayish boots. In battle, her weapon was a two-handed long spear.

## Personality

Sachi was a kind timid girl who cared deeply about her friends, even if they weren't real people. But she wasn't afraid to call people out on their actions, as she helped Kirito see how much of an asshole he was being and became stern when he almost reverted back into it when Keita was explaining their situation with the Mob.

## Differences from the Original

Sachi is very similar to her original counterpart, except she didn't suffer from internet lag. She went to school with other members of the Moonlit Black Cats (except for Kirito) and they were all members of their school's computer club. While Kirito is shown crying at night over Sachi once, in a scene that is implied to have happened but is it is skipped by Sir Jack Dapper, he never cries out loud with such ferocity and it was more of a silent cry.

## Voice Actor

* In the Japanese dub, Sachi is voiced by Saori Hayami.
* In the English dub, Sachi is voiced by Xanthe Huynh.
* In the abridged series, Sachi is voiced by NikokoTee.

## Trivia

* In the web novel version of the story, Sachi was Kirito's first love before Asuna. Although subtle changes to the light novel version make it unclear if this is still true.

Tolbana

**Tolbana** (トールバーナ, *Tōrubāna*) is the closest settlement to the 1st Floor Dungeon in Sword Art Online.

## Description

Tolbana is the second largest town on the 1st Floor, with a size of 200 meters from edge to edge. The city is surrounded by large castle walls and is the closest town to the 1st Floor's Dungeon, which is located in a valley thirty minutes away. It consists of three inns, some bars and restaurants, as well as multiple NPC's houses and many water fountains are scattered across the town.

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Episode 2

On December 2, 2022, after discovering the Boss Room, Diabel arranged a strategy meeting in the town's atrium. After a short, but rather annoying, discussion, it was eventually decided to split into groups and attack the Boss. Kirito and Asuna teamed up and were assigned to Squad G, and then set off to fight the Boss.
Thinker/Relationships

## Allies

### Yulier

Yulier is Thinker's lieutenant. It is clear that Yulier has feelings for him, as she can't talk about him without talking about her fantasies of him, but it's not clear whether he feels the same. Although, when Yulier came to rescue him, he expressed his joy over the situation, before composing himself.

### Kazuto Kirigaya

Kirito did not respect Thinker. After hearing about how easily Kibaou tricked him, Kirito was initially unwilling to rescue him, as he felt that he got what he deserved for being so gullible. His opinion of Thinker got worse when he failed to warn them about the Boss that had him trapped properly and when he found out that Thinker was under the impression that the messaging system didn't work in Dungeons just because Kibaou told him that was the case. Once Yulier and Thinker were out of harm's way, Kirito almost immediately stopped thinking about either of them.

### Yui

Thinker didn't interact with Yui much, but he seemed to treat her like a regular five year old.

## Enemies

### Kibaou

Thinker was Kibaou's main opponent during his rise to power. Despite the fact that Thinker only wanted to unite their Guild in peace, and the fact that Thinker wasn't very bright, Kibaou saw Thinker as a threat to his plans, and plotted to get rid of him. Kibaou took advantage of Thinker's naivety and trapped him in a Secret Dungeon, hoping the Boss would kill him. Not much is known what happened to their relationship after this.
Searching

**Searching** (索敵 (サーチング) , *Sāchingu*, lit. "Searching for the Enemy") is a skill in Sword Art Online that improves the player's detection range.

## Features

* Increases the range at which a cursor of a monster or player is displayed.
* Increases the maximum range at which an object can still be seen.
* Allows the detection of monsters and players in Hiding if the skill is high enough in level.
* Gives the player night vision in dark areas.
* With a proficiency level of 980, players are able to detect the number of players beyond walls.

## Known Mods

* Simultaneously Detected Enemies Bonus (同時索敵数ボーナス, *Douji Sakuteki Sū Bōnasu*)
* Detection (探知 (ディテクション) , *Ditekushon*)
* Detection Range Bonus (索敵距離ボーナス, *Sakuteki Kyori Bōnasu*)
* Revealing Bonus (看破力ボーナス, *Kanparyoku Bōnasu*)
* Tracking (追跡 (トラッキング) , *Torakkingu*)

## Tracking

Tracking is a feature that allows a player to track down a monster or player registered as a friend. Tracking can be activated by calling out the main menu window, selecting Searching from the skill tab and selecting Tracking from the skill's sub-menu. If the user is tracking a player, they may insert the name of the player into a pop-up input window. Once a target is selected, pale green footprints appear in the player's vision, showing which way the target went. As the level of the skill increases, the user will be able to see older footprints. At the lowest level, the user may only see footprints that were made up to around a minute before the use of the skill.

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Episode 3

Kirito uses Searching, which he nicknames "Detective Mode", to find Sachi after Keita informed him that she ran off. When he found her and turned it off it caused his eyes to sizzle.

#### Episode 4

It's stated that Kirito used Searching to spot Rosalia behind a tree, but it's most like that Kirito just spotted her username peaking out from behind the tree.

#### Episode 10

Kirito used Searching to see whether or not Thinker was the one in the Safe Room of the Floor 1 Hidden Dungeon.
Sunshine Forest

The **Sunshine Forest** (ひだまりの森, *Hidamari no Mori*) is a Dungeon on the 20th Floor of Sword Art Online.

## Description

The Sunshine Forest is a somewhat dense forest that is dotted with multiple shrubs and bushes with multiple clearings. The trees reach several meters tall, though one can easily see through its canopy.

The Dungeon's safe area consists of multiple layers of cobblestone walls with a plot of grass atop each layer. It can be inferred that this safe area rather consists of a run down temple.

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Episode 3

After Kirito joins the Moonlit Black Cats, he is later shown in this Dungeon with his Guild members. They are seen resting in the safe area, where Keita is getting held jokingly in a headlock by Gary.

They are the seen fighting a Killer Mantis together. After Sachi becomes startled by the monster's intimidating appearance, Kirito switches out with her. After cutting off a scythe-arm and deflecting the other, he then switches with Charlie, who then finishes the monster off.
Raise Dead

**Raise Dead** (レイズデッド, *Reizudeddo*) is a spell in ALfheim Online that resurrects a player from a Remain Light.

## Description

Raise Dead is a spell that can only be used a player that is only recently turned into a Remain Light. Once they do, players have a limited amount of time to use this spell before the dead player respawns in their starting location. In order to use the spell, the castor must have a diamond, as without one the spell won't work.

## Synopsis

### Fairy Dance Arc

#### Episode 16

Sakuya uses the spell on Eugene after the latter is slain by Kirito.

## Trivia

* In the original, the resurrection spell didn't have a name. The name Raise Dead comes from Dungeons & Dragons, as does the necessity for a diamond.
Slant

**Slant** (スラント, *Suranto*) is a simple 1-hit, One-Handed Sword category Sword Skill in Sword Art Online.

## Description

Slant consists of a single sharp forty-five degree diagonal slash. The only thing that Slant differs from other 1-hit skills like Vertical or Horizontal is that Slant has a slanted trajectory and it can attack in two directions: either from top-right to bottom-left or bottom-left to top-right, the latter being the same stance as drawing a sword from the waist, thus greatly decreasing the time required to activate the skill.

As the skill can be used in two directions, it can be activated either by putting it on one's shoulder for a top-right to bottom-left slash or in a similar motion to drawing a sword from the waist for a bottom-left to top-right slash. The basic range of the skill is two and a half meters.

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Episode 2

Kirito used Slant against a Ruin Kobold Sentinel, to reflect the monsters' mace, and give Asuna an opening to attack them. Kirito later used a mixture of Slant, Horizontal and Vertical Sword Skills to deflect Illfang's attacks.
Sam

**Sam** (サム, *Samu*) was a player of Sword Art Online. He was a commentator for duels.

## Personality

Sam was a calm intellectual man, who liked to make notes on the competitors he was going to comment over. He was often confused by Bob's commentary, as he was unsure how much of it was accurate. He also had some stupid tenancies, as he believed his face was an important part of his radio job.

## Biography

### Pre-Episode 9

On November 6, 2022, Sam got his hands on a NerveGear and a copy of Sword Art Online, a VRMMO set in a multifloored castle in the sky called Aincrad. He logged into SAO and was trapped in the game along with 10,000 other players. He managed to survive the death game for almost two years, long enough for him to become a commentator for duels in the Floor 75 city of Collinia. He was accompanied by another player named Bob, who had a very different, very loud, approach to his job than Sam did.

### Episode 9

On October 19, 2024, Sam and Bob were hired by the Knights of the Blood Oath to comment over an upcoming duel between their leader, Heathcliff, and the now famous Dual-Wielding player, Kirito. When the crowd came the next day, Sam attempts to make his calm organized commentary, but it kept getting interrupted by Bob's over the top, non-PC, commentary.

When the fight did not go the way the crowd wanted, Sam tried to reassure the crowd by saying the KOB would refund their tickets to the fight, but the crowd turned violent, and the rioters broke into their booth and attacked the two commentators.

### Post-Episode 9

It is unknown what happened to the two, whether they were killed by the rioters or held captive by the King of Ashes, but hopefully they survived and were logged out of the game when Kirito defeated Kayaba.

## Differences from the Original

In the original Sam and Bob didn't exist, as the duel between Kirito and Heathcliff didn't have any commentators.

## Trivia

* Contrary to popular belief, Sam and Bob were not inspired by Wiz and Boomstick from Death Battle.

Town of Beginnings

The **Town of Beginnings** (はじまりの街, *Hajimari no Machi*) is the main settlement on the 1st Floor of Sword Art Online.

## Description

The Town of Beginnings takes up twenty percent of the 1st Floor's surface, large enough to hold a Tokyo district, making it capable of housing over five thousand people. It has large stone paved roads, surrounded by streetlights. It has a central circular plaza that acts as the starting area for new players which has a Teleport Gate in the center. This leads to the Black Iron Palace, the biggest structure within the city and the first building seen in the game by new players.

## Notable Locations

* Black Iron Palace (Aincrad Liberation Front Headquarters)
* Monument of Life
* Secret Dungeon

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Episode 1

On November 6, 2022, Kirito logged into the game and was immediately disgusted by the amount of ads that were plastered around the spawn point.

Just after 17:30 that same day, Kayaba Akihiko forcefully teleported all players back to the Town of Beginnings and announced that SAO had become a death game. When Kayaba finished his tutorial by 18:00, Kirito tried to convince BallsDeep69 to join him in journeying to the next town. When Balls refused his offer, instead offering Kirito to join his Guild, Kirito mistook this as an insult and ran away crying.

#### Episode 10

On October 31, 2024, Kirito, Asuna, and Yui traveled to the Town of Beginnings as part of Kirito and Asuna's mind games to get each other to admit that was getting married was a mistake. They journeyed to Sasha's orphanage, where they met Yulier, who asked them to help her rescue Thinker.

## Trivia

* As the starting area, the Town of Beginnings has a lot of facilities essential for adventuring, with generally low prices and all sorts of inns, making it the best town to be used as a home base in terms of efficiency. However, none of the higher-level players stayed in this town until the end of the death game. One of the reasons for this was the oppression from the ALF, yet the main reason was actually the fact that most players would recall the events of the first day in the SAO official service whenever they visited the central plaza.

The Eclipse

**The Eclipse** (ジ・エクリップス, *Ji Ekurippusu*) is the final sword skill learned by the user of the Dual-Wield skill.

## Description

This sword skill consists of a total of 27 hits. The user first uses both swords to slash from the top right to the bottom left then immediately rebounding to slash from the top left to the bottom right...

The user initiates the skill by standing straight up and holding the left sword directly below the right sword before charging forward and bringing their swords down in preparation for the first two hits.

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Episode 11

Kirito used the Eclipse during his fight with Kayaba, but this caused his sword to break when it clashed with Kayaba's shield.
Ring of Agility

The **Ring of Agility** (敏捷の指輪, *Binshō no Yubiwa*) was the item that led to Golden Apple's downfall.

## Description

The ring is silvery-white, with a crimson-red gem in the centre of its front side and is also emblazoned with several leaves next to the gem. The ring boosts the wearer's AGI stat by 20 points.

The ring is dropped by a rare monster, a fast, hard to identify, completely black cricket, found in a Dungeon on the middle Floors of Aincrad. Although dropped by a monster on the middle Floors, an item of this quality has not been dropped on the front lines.

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Pre-Episode 5

In the autumn of 2023, the Golden Apple Guild members acquired the ring after they encountered a rare monster in a Dungeon and managed to barely kill it with a thrown knife.

However, the Guild was then divided on what to do with the ring. Some members wanted to keep the ring to increase their battle potential, while others wanted to sell it for a lot of money and split it evenly among the Guild. In the end, the Guild members voted and, in favor of five votes against three, they decided to sell the ring.

However, while the Guild leader, Griselda, was off to sell the ring at an auction at the front lines, she was murdered. After the event, the Guild split up due to the increasing distrust between the members, as only they knew about the existence of the ring, thus one of them had been involved in the murder.
Taft

**Taft** (タフト, *Tafuto*) is the main settlement of the 11th Floor of Sword Art Online.

## Description

Taft is an urban city with stone floor streets and mostly 2-storey brick buildings that are lined up along the main street with barely any space in-between. The city also has a river running under a bridge somewhat far away from the main street, a fountain, and a rectangular plaza with a Teleport Gate. There is a church or cathedral with iron doors, a couple of statues next to them, a bell tower at one side of the plaza, and a decorative gate at the other.

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Episode 3

On April 8, 2023, Kirito was confronted by the Moonlit Black Cats in a tavern and subsequently tricked into joining them. Since then, the tavern was used as a temporary headquarters for the Guild, as they did not have enough money to buy their own base.

On May 16, 2023, Sachi became overwhelmed by her fear of getting everyone she loves killed and hid herself under a bridge from the main street. While the rest of the Guild was inadvertently trapping their leader in his hotel room, Kirito used his high-level Searching Skill to track down Sachi's location by following her footsteps from the inn. After finding Sachi and learning of her fears, the two talked long enough for Sachi to convince Kirito to try and not be an asshole.

On June 21, 2023, Keita announced that they were indebted to the Mafia and sent them to retrieve an item he stole from them and subsequently sold, while he ran away. This event would eventually result in the death of most of the Moonlit Black Cats.
Trisha

**Trisha** (トリシャ, *Torisha*) is an employee of RECT Progress. She is the character modeller for ALfheim Online.

## Appearance

Not much is known about Trisha's appearance, other than the fact that she is bound to a wheelchair.

## Personality

Not much is known about Trisha's personality, but she seems to be pretty vindictive, as she went out of her way to make a custom avatar for Shoji and Kyle after Shoji kept eating her medicated yogurt.

## Biography

### Fairy Dance Arc

#### Pre-Episode 17

Not much is known about Trisha's history, but what we do know is she suffers from an unknown illness that reduces her to a wheelchair. At some point, she got a job at RECT Progress as the character modeller for their game, ALfheim Online. While working at RECT Progress, she developed an intense rivalry with a man named Shoji Yanai, who would routinely steal her medicated yogurt. Eventually, Trisha decided to get revenge on Shoji and his friend Kyle by making their avatars grotesque slug-like creatures.

## Differences from the Original

It's never stated that the reason why ALO's brain technicians were slug-like creatures was because one of them had a rivalry with the game's character modeller, meaning Trisha probably didn't exist.
Terry the Tweaker Tarantula

**Terry the Tweaker Tarantula** (麻薬中毒者タランチュラテリー, *Mayaku Chūdoku-sha Taranchura Terī*) is one the educational NPCS of ALfheim Online.

## Appearance

Terry is a giant, human-sized, cross-eyed tarantula in a black t-shirt and sunglasses that barely cover his eyes. He has brown hair, grey, dilated eyes, and a salivating mouth.

## Personality

Terry was a drug addicted spider who loved handing out free samples of LSD to players. However, this was changed in an update, and he now preaches a "Hugs Not Drugs" mindset.

## Biography

### Fairy Dance Arc

#### Pre-Episode 17

Terry was designed to teach the players of ALfheim Online about the dangers of drug addiction. As such, he was created to hand out free samples of LSD in the Arun town square, so that players could experience what it was like to take the drug without the negative drawbacks.

However, this backfired terribly, as now there was a safe version of a dangerous drug, meaning Terry became one of the game's most popular NPCs. This might've been one of the reasons that Arun had a reputation of having a cool night life.

#### Episode 17

One day, it was deemed necessary that all drug related things in ALO should be toned down, and the server were shut down for the next eleven hours to apply the game's "Say No to Drugs" update. Terry was one the NPCs effected by this update, as he would no longer hand out his trademark LSD. The next day, Terry was seen holding a sign that said, "Hugs Not Drugs".

## Differences from the Original

ALO is never stated to have a rampant drug problem, meaning Terry did not exist in the original, nor was the update that shut ALO down an anti-drug one.

Teleport Gate

File:Kirito at the Teleport Gate.png
A **Teleport Gate** (転移門, *Ten'i-mon*) is a feature that allows fast travel between the Floors of Aincrad in Sword Art Online.

## Description

Teleport Gates are located at the central plaza of the main settlement on each Floor. The Teleport Gate allows free teleportation to any other Floor where a gate is activated. This happens after the players who beat the Boss of the previous Floor's Dungeon opens it.

In the world of Aincrad, Teleport Gates are the primary means of travel, as physically travelling from Floor to Floor via Dungeon mazes is dangerous and time-consuming.

## Appearance

Teleport Gates have an appearance of an arch made of neatly stacked stones. It has no doors or bars. The empty space in the middle of the arch is distorted like a portal.

## Using a Gate

A Teleport Gate can be used by either standing in the middle of an active Teleport Gate or by using a Teleport Crystal, when teleporting from an area outside of a Teleport Gate, and by saying Teleport (転移, *Ten'i*) along with the name of the destination city.

## Gate Activation and Town Opening

Once a Floor Boss is defeated, the victorious party can activate the gate of the next Floor by merely entering the main settlement and touching the surface of the portal.

This causes a blue light to spread everywhere, marking the Floor accessible via teleportation to any other existing Floor in Aincrad. The event is known as a Town Opening.

In the event that the victorious party does not manage to activate the gate after reaching the Floor, the Teleport Gate will automatically activate after a two hour period.

The gate can only be activated for use if the name of the destination village is known, however, the players are able to check their map for the name of the village. They are also able to learn the name of the village or town from other players allowing lower level players to access higher Floors.
The Gleam Eyes

**The Gleam Eyes** (ザ・グリーム・アイズ, *Za Gurīmu Aizu*) was the Boss of the 74th Floor in Sword Art Online. It was the only known Boss that was defeated without a strategy meeting.

## Appearance

The Gleam Eyes was a muscular demonic monster with a towering form. Its skin was deep blue, and its eyes were dark red that could glow light blue, matching the tint of the flames in its Boss Room. Its head, resting atop its thick chest, was that of a goat's, which had an elongated snout and thick, twisted horns stretching backward from the sides of the head. The lower half of its body with bestial legs was covered in long, navy blue hair. Its main weapon was an equally massive blade that looked like a zanbato.

## Boss Information

**Zanbato Sword**: A giant sword that Gleam Eyes swung around and hit people with.

## Boss Battle

On October 18, 2024, the Aincrad Liberation Front, led by General Corvatz, entered the Boss Room, despite his troops being too exhausted to fight. The soldiers were almost immediately overwhelmed by the Boss' attacks, and they found that their Teleport Crystals couldn't work in the Boss Room.

Kirito and Asuna soon arrived at the Boss Room, due to them being worried about the Guild's fate, only to find them cornered by the Gleam Eyes. Kirito told Corvatz to use the "brilliant" strategy he was boasting about earlier, only for Corvatz to reveal his strategy was to "group up and hit it 'til it dies". The Gleam Eyes then swatted Corvatz away with his Sword, which proved to be fatal to him.

The Gleam Eyes then attempted to finish off the men, but was interrupted by an enraged Kirito, who slashed it in the back. Kirito then had a psychotic outbreak and revealed his Unique Skill, Dual-Wield. Kirito then activated the 21-hit Combo Dual Sword Skill Starburst Stream and proceeded to rant about his absolute hatred of humanity. Gleam Eyes was finished off, with Kirito at 1 HP.

## Differences from the Original

In the Original, Gleam Eyes also had the ability to breathe purple fire and swipe with his giant snake tail.

## Trivia

* Gleam Eyes was the first boss to resemble a demon in the original series. This is not confirmed in abridged version due to many of the bosses not being shown.
Sasha/Relationships

## Enemies

### Kazuto Kirigaya and Asuna Yuuki

Kirito and Asuna didn't seem to notice Sasha's existence, as he was too focused on trying to one up Asuna. When he did acknowledge her presence, after constantly claiming her achievements as his own, Kirito uses her as an example of how easy a Dungeon on the 1st Floor could be. Since this was the first time Kirito acknowledged Sasha's presence, this sent Sasha into a frenzy, which caught Kirito off guard.

### Yulier

Sasha tried to be civil with Yulier, but she kept getting overshadowed by Kirito and Asuna.
Queen's Knightsword

**Queen's Knightsword** (クイーンズ・ナイトソード, *Kuīnzu Naitosōdo*) was a sword Kirito used after his time with the Moonlit Black Cats.

## Description

The Queen's Knightsword was a long sword, which can be obtained as a reward for a quest on the 9th Floor.

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Episode 4

Kirito used the Queen's Knightsword to rescue Silica from a group of Drunk Apes, and he later used it to kill Rosalia.

#### Episode 5

Kirito had the sword during the Sheeptar the Sheep King raid meeting, where he proceeded to kill Gary with it. He also had the sword for the majority of the murder investigation on Floor 57.

#### Episode 6

RECT Progress

**RECT Progress** (レクト・プログレス, *Rekuto Puroguresu*) is a company owned by Shouzou Yuuki, and the developers of ALfheim Online.

## History

Not much is known about RECT Progress' history, except that it was a family business of the Yuuki family. When the SAO disaster happened, one of RECT Progress' employees, named Nobuyuki Sugou, suggested to the CEO, Shouzou Yuuki, that they should buy the SAO servers, as Argus, the creators of SAO, was under threat of closing down due to their involvement in the incident, which could potentially result in the players dying as a result of the servers getting shut down. But since VR was now a minefield of an industry, Shouzou was reluctant at the idea, but he was eventually convinced due to how it would benefit their public image and technological superiority.

Once they did buy the servers, RECT Progress teamed up with Ubisoft and used SAO's data to construct a new game, which was named ALfheim Online. Although it was a flop upon release, due to a mixture of confusing advertising and the fact that the SAO disaster was still fresh in the people's minds, it became a hit with roleplayers about half a year later.

During this time, Sugou discovered how powerful SAO's Charisma stat could be and became obsessed with idea of using it to brainwash people and take over the world. Luckily for him, a few months after ALO became a hit, SAO was prematurely cleared by a player named Kirito. Seeing this as his chance, Sugou used his access to the SAO servers and prevented some of the players from logging out, instead redirecting them to ALO, so he could secretly use them as test subjects for his brainwashing scheme.

## Trivia

* In the original, RECT Progress was a division of RECT Inc. This fact is not confirmed in the abridged version.

The World of Oricalla

Oricalla, land of hopes, dreams, and orcs. Lots, and lots, of zoggin' orcs.

A blue-green sphere, floating in the infinate heavens. Oricalla has two moons, Belior and Nessus.

There are three major continents on the surface of Oricalla, and a string of large islands, called the stepping stones. Three continents, in ascending order of size, are Hearth, terror ingognita, and The Southland. Imaginative, eh?

Hearth is the smallest continent, and is the seat of civilisation. Most player-races live here. It's a nice place. It's basically the only place where civilisation as it is normally known can thrive.

The Southland is the next biggest continent. It's primarily the home of Orks, and is a savage place. Dire-Orks have great strongholds in the ice of the south pole, and actually have quite an in-depth society down there. They still like raiding the non-orc barbarian tribes that live there, though. And normal Orks, too. And anything.
The people of Hearth and the Stepping Stones have made two colonies here, but they can't expand very quickly. Ork raiders, yeah?
There are a few bigger monsters in the Southland, but the orks keep that all under control, in a manner of speaking.

The stepping stones are a ring of islands that traverses the planet, and are the method by which sailing ships make long trade routes. It's just safer that way.
The fourteen islands are not all named, but the closest to hearth is called Gate, the largest of the chain is called Wellspring, and is closest to the poisoned water, and the closest to the southland is called Bullwark.

And finally, the Terror Incognita. The place of monsters. This is a poisoned land, filled with mysteries and ancient magic. Once home to many proud civilisations, something happened... something terrible. Those civilisations fell, and left a literal stain on the land. A corruption, where life is twisted. Horrors and abominations come from this place, and plague all of terror incognita. The sea near the focal point of this blight is tainted, called the poisoned water. In it, many horrors roam, and the water is literal poison, but is also potentently magical.
Terror incognita is basically uninhabitable. Elves maintain a few strongholds at their moon-points, to stop the monsters getting to their moon, but otherwise shun the place. Orks roam the lands near their moon-points, seeking a good fight. Humans scrape meager, harsh lives from it's unforgiving hills. Mutants of all stripes make life and any journey here dangerous, but many still come here, seeking the fogotten lore and treasures of fallen kingdoms...

Undine

The **Undine** (水妖精族 (ウンディーネ) , *Undīne* lit. Water fairy family) are one of the nine races in ALfheim Online.

## Background

Undine are associated with the color blue and can fly like other races. They also specialize in support magic, and underwater combat.

Their relationship with the other races is fairly unknown, as is what stereotype they represent themselves as.

## Abilities

**Flight:** (飛行, *Hikō*) Similar to the other races, Undines are capable of sprouting wings that allow them to fly.

**Support Magic:** (支援魔法, *Shien Mahō*) Though capable of using other types of magic, the Undines are experts in using high-ranking recovery and support magic due to their high-level magic capabilities.

**Underwater Combat:** (水中戦闘, *Suichūsentō*) Due to their affinity with water, Undines are experts in underwater combat. This makes them valuable assets when faced with water-type monsters.

**Wall Run:** (ウォールラン, *Uōruran*) As one of the lightweight races, the Undines are capable of using the skill Wall Run, that, as the name suggests, allows them to temporarily run on walls. The normal limit is a distance of ten meters, but those with an extremely high sprinting speed are known to be able to run for about thirty meters.

## Trivia

* The etymology of Undine comes from the 16th century alchemical works of Paracelsus. Undines, also known as nymphs, was his term for a generic water elemental. They are depicted as water nymphs who become human when they fall in love with a man, but these men are doomed to die if he is unfaithful to her.
Shouzou Yuuki

**Shouzou Yuuki** (結城 彰三, *Yūki Shōzō*) is the CEO of RECT Progress. He is the father of Asuna Yuuki.

## Appearance

Shouzou is an elderly man with wrinkles and brown hair, who wears a brown suit.

## Personality

Shouzou Yuuki is a selfish, greedy, callous and mentally disturbed man who only cares about what best suits him. He is so greedy that he viewed Asuna, his own daughter, as a parasite when she needed his help the most when she got trapped in SAO. He seems to live in his own world, as he doesn't seem to know the names of his employees, even the one he plans to marry his daughter to.

## Differences from the Original

Shouzou isn't presented as an idiotic asshole, he actually cares about his daughter. But, he is the type of father to focus more on his work than his family. He doesn't hate the fact that Kazuto keeps visiting Asuna, he's happy because he knows it'll make Asuna happy.

Shouzou doesn't know Sugou's name in this version, as he thinks his name is "Versace" due to the fact that was what was written on his briefcase. In the original, Sugou is the son of Shouzou's business partner, and as such Shouzou has known Sugou since he was a child. Shouzou isn't in a rush to get Asuna married so he can stop paying her medical bills, if anything he tries to talk Sugou out of it.

It is never stated that Shouzou has a habit of buying Ferraris, nor does he have an Italian Ferrari dealer, or at least one that he *thinks* is Italian.

## Quotes

"*Ah... Kazuto. You're here.* Again*.*"
—Shouzou's barely hidden disdain for Kazuto.

"*It's good of you to keep visiting her like this. Like a watchful Guardian looking after a slumbering Princess. Lying there like a perfect, beautiful little parasite* sucking the marrow from my VERY BONES*!!!*"
—Shouzou hidden rage at Asuna.

"*Ah! Sorry, force of habit. You can relax. My lawyers have advised me that killing my daughter to get out of medical bills would cause more problems than it would probably solve. [...] So I've decided to marry her off to a nice gentleman from my company instead! A righteous alternative to euthanasia!*"
—Shouzou revealing his plan to marry off Asuna.

"'*Scuse me, gentlemen, I need to go call my Ferrari guy! [...] Hello? Enzo! It's-a been-a too long!*"
—Shouzou about to buy another Ferrari.

## Voice Actor

* In the Japanese dub, Shouzou is voiced by Kazuhiro Yamaji.
* In the English dub, Shouzou is voiced by Keith Silverstein.
* In the abridged series, Shouzou is voiced by BlazingAzureCrow.

## Trivia

* His voice actor, BlazingAzureCrow, once dated xbubblemunkyx, who voices Asuna, Shouzou Yuuki's daughter.
* Ironically, both the English dub and the abridged series have this character voiced by the same actors who voiced PantySmasher. In the English dub it was Keith Silverstein and in the abridged series it was BlazingAzureCrow.
Ruin Kobold Sentinel

A **Ruin Kobold Sentinel** (ルインコボルド・センチネル, *Ruin Koborudo Senchineru*) is a monster that is found in the Boss Room of the 1st Floor Dungeon in Sword Art Online.

## Appearance

A Ruin Kobold Sentinel is a red demi-human creature, with long, thin ears sticking out of their helmets and a big red tail. A large portion of its head and body is tightly covered and protected by metal armor, which makes the throat its only weak point, and armed with huge maces.

## Behavior

Sentinels aid Illfang the Kobold Lord as minions, adding further struggle for players to defeat the Boss. They are so far the only known enemies seen fighting alongside a Boss in SAO, most likely to make the fight more challenging to the opposing players as Illfang is weak compared to other high-level Bosses.

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Episode 2

When the Illfang raid party entered the Boss Room on December 4, 2022, the game spawned the Ruin Kobold Sentinels as well, although one was missing its snarl audio file. Not many players focused on the Sentinels, as the ones that were supposed to be attacking them attacked Illfang instead, much to Diabel's annoyance.

Kirito and Asuna were sent into help the Squads fight off the Sentinels and Asuna managed to kill one with one strike.
Rosalia/Relationships

## Allies

### Titan's Hand

Not much is known about Rosalia's relationship with her Guild, but she seemed to view them like her lackies. She did not seem to be concerned about their opinions on certain matters and got annoyed whenever they questioned her orders. But she did seem to think they were capable of anything, due to their level and their numbers, so she did seem to have some faith in them to some capacity.

## Enemies

### Kazuto Kirigaya

Kirito despised Rosalia, as she viewed him as weak, and she had a very annoying facade. Kirito saw through Rosalia's overly kind demeanor and suspected that she was a part of a dangerous Guild, like Laughing Coffin, which caused Kirito to accept Silica's request for help in order to draw her out.

Kirito's plan worked, as Rosalia came to rob them, but he was underwhelmed by how pathetic her Guild, Titan's Hand, was. Rosalia then began to dissect Kirito's tough guy persona, concluding by mocking his prepubescent voice, which resulted int Kirito going into a frenzy and killing Rosalia. But, Rosalia had the last laugh, as she mocked the fact that Kirito would never have sex before she died. This comment stuck with Kirito, and when Kirito had sex with Asuna he told Rosalia to suck it.

### Silica

Silica was a member of a Party Rosalia was in. They didn't get along well, as Rosalia wanted to make a pair of pants out of Silica's pet Dragon, Pina. When Rosalia found out that Pina died she was upset, but only because Silica didn't make her into said pair of pants, and was disappointed that Silica wasted Pina's potential.

Secret Dungeon

The **Secret Dungeon** (隠しダンジョン, *Kakushi Danjon*) is a Dungeon that is hidden beneath the Black Iron Palace.

## Description

The entrance to this Dungeon is located outside the Black Iron Palace, and is accessed through an underground water supply. The Dungeon has a notably high-level difficulty, despite being on the 1st Floor. The Dungeon's walls are made of black stones and lined with columns. A safe area lies at the end of this Dungeon, which is guarded by The Fatal Scythe.

The Safe Area is a completely white room with smooth walls and floor. An Admin Console is placed in the middle of the room. When the Boss appears, the surrounding area turns into a shade of violet blue, and some of the stone walls are given a new graphic as well.

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Pre-Episode 10

Kibaou used this Dungeon to trap Thinker, who was his rival in a civil war within their Guild. Kibaou tricked Thinker to coming into the Dungeon unarmed, by claiming it was a peace talk, only to leave him for dead.

#### Episode 10

Yulier, one of Thinker's loyal lieutenants, eventually finds Kirito and Asuna, and asks them to help her rescue Thinker. They are hesitant at first, due to Thinker's incomitance, but they eventually coerced when they are kicked out of orphanage they were in at the time.

Kirito easily sliced through the Dungeon's monsters and they soon saw the safe area where Thinker was being held. Yulier ran towards the safe area, and Kirito barely managed to knock Yulier aside to prevent her from being hit by The Fatal Scythe. Asuna prompted Yulier to retreat to the safe area with Yui as she confronted the Boss with Kirito. But the Fatal Scythe knocked both high-leveled players down, taking away about half of their HP along with it.

Yui, Kirito and Asuna's adopted daughter, steps out from the safe area as Thinker and Yulier teleport away. The Fatal Scythe detects Yui and attacks her, but is stopped by her Immortal Object status. Yui then uses the GM console's «Object Eraser» function, in the form of a large sword, and easily defeats the Boss.

In the safe area, Yui explains that she regained her memories after touching the GM console when Yulier first brought her inside. Yui also says that she wishes to be with them forever, but will be shortly deleted from the system as a foreign object. Kirito intervenes and uses the still-active Admin access and his computer skills to retrieve Yui and save her as an in-game item, Yui's Heart, as part of his NerveGear's environment data.
Unique Skills

**Unique Skills** (ユニークスキル, *Yunīku Sukiru*) are Extra Skills in Sword Art Online that are assigned to only a single player per skill.

## Description

All Unique Skills are evolutions of the Meditation skill at a proficiency of 500 or more. Only ten Unique Skills existed in Sword Art Online, in contrast to the unlimited number of other skills. By the end of Sword Art Online, only two players were known to have Unique Skills: Heathcliff had Divine Blade and Kirito had Dual-Wield.
Murder-Golem

A **Murder-Golem** (マーダー・ゴーレム, *Mādā Gōremu*) is one of the monsters found in the 27th Floor Dungeon of Sword Art Online.

## Appearance

Murder-Golems are tall, yet thin, crude, rock-type creatures with asymmetric bodies. The Golems do not have any faces and instead they have a symbol that resembles the sun painted on what should be the creature’s face, and a different symbol on the right side of their chests. The Golems are bipedal and have long arms, which they use instead of a weapon. Although their arms have five fingers like humans, they do not have feet at all.

## Synopsis

### Aincrad Arc

#### Episode 3

On June 22, 2023, a large amount of Murder-Golems spawned in a hidden room in the 27th Floor's Dungeon, after Gary triggered a treasure box trap that sealed off the area. Gary, who was in charge of the Guild's Crystals, used one of the Teleport Crystals to teleport out of there, leaving his Guild mates to fend for themselves. With the help of Slaughternauts, who were also summoned to the room by the trap, the Golems killed off 3 out of 6 of the Moonlit Black Cats members: Derrick, Charlie and Sachi, though the last surviving member in the room, Kirito, managed to defeat a large number of them and disable the trap without being killed.

## Differences from the Original

In the original, these enemies aren't called "Murder Golems", they're called "Granite Elementals".
Sheeptar the Sheep King

Placeholder image

**Sheeptar the Sheep King** (羊の王様シープター, *Hitsuji no Ōsama Shīputā*) was a powerful Field Boss in Sword Art Online.

## Boss Information

**Enhanced Agility**: Sheeptar was apparently a very agile and fast boss, also having the ability to climb walls.

**Acidic-Saliva**: Sheeptar had the ability to spit acid, as described by Asuna. This was presumably its prime attack move.

## Boss Battle

It is unknown when Sheeptar was first encountered, or how many times it was fought, but it managed to kill seven people prior to first being mentioned.

On March 6, 2024, at the town of Pani on the 56th floor, Asuna held a strategy meeting to discuss how to kill Sheeptar. Asuna decided that they should lure Sheeptar into a nearby NPC village where the archers would snipe it while he was focused on killing NPCs. Kirito interjected, saying that they couldn't go around NPCs, stating some of his best friends have been NPCs. He was interrupted by the sudden arrival of Gary who he then tortured and murdered due to his deserting of the Moonlit Black Cats.

After seeing Kirito brutally torture the NPC to death, the other players agreed to think of a different plan. April 11, 2024, another raid took place, where it killed an additional five people, making its kill count twelve. It is unknown how or when it was eventually defeated.

## Differences from the Original

In the original series, there was no Sheeptar. Instead, in its place, there was a Field Boss called GeoCrawler who was killed after being sung to sleep by an NPC girl instead of being sniped by archers in an NPC village. The GeoCrawler was on Floor 56, whereas Sheeptar seems to be somewhere passed Floor 59, as Kirito is seen relaxing there when Asuna was fighting it. The GeoCrawler also didn't take over two months to defeat in the original, it was defeated on March 7, 2024.

## Trivia

* Sheeptar was apparently a very powerful Field Boss, as it managed to kill 12 players and took 36 (or more) days of planning to kill.
