    ‘It is sufficient, but unfortunately remains unideal, Onmyouji-dono.’ “Best we are going to find in the here and now, I’m afraid.” Helewise sighed in commiseration. The City of Beginnings had well and truly come alive in the hour and change Helewise had spent in the fields getting to know her...

    Why not both? I mean, honestly, his entire 'plan' of creating witch hunts on the most knowledgeable faction (such as they are) in the game is stupid. He's desperate to have control over his situation by any means necessary, but he doesn't have the charisma to make people follow him, and on...

    Data flowed, countless bites flashing to and fro in glittering streams. Forty-nine thousand, three hundred and eighty one connections spread across six data centers, each updating dozens of times every second, each maintaining a human life, feeding the world of Aincrad to their half-sleeping...

    A groan like the living dead and the rasp of scales-on-scales heralded the morning as sunlight peeked into the room, a draconic tail laying itself across a horned head to protect its owner's eyes before taloned hands could do it. Horns. Tail. Talons. She was still Helewise, and she was still...

    I remember at least one comment thread had someone suggesting 'Kaiba = Kayaba', so I'll admit I've been looking forwards to seeing the comments now that this chapter's out in the wild~

    Today was not the first time Yugi Motou had heard a voice in his head that hadn't entered through his ears. It was not the first time he'd dangled one-handed over a probably-lethal drop. It was very unfortunately not even the first time he'd found himself trapped in a game devised by a lunatic...

    [‘Helewise’ said: Hey, how's it going over th…] Sachi couldn’t restrain a little twitch at the little message popup in the corner of her vision, a motion large enough that it drew the attention of the tall hooded woman standing next to her, cool gaze lingering briefly before returning to the...

    Argo watched her hands fly over the hovering keyboard with an unexpected detachment, her mind whirling with the mingling implications the last few minutes had left behind. Not the summoning or the particulars of the quest, she’d need more data to confirm some of them in any case (were three...

    Disentangling herself from the mess of players became easier once they were distracted fooling around with their Duel Monsters. A few stopped Helewise to ask in general terms where she’d found the NPC, but they still seemed either reluctant to move away from the main gate or disinterested in...

    The entirety of SAO is being treated as one giant Shadow Game for the main focus, but given its breadth and reach, there will be -quite literally- games within games to be had. Not to mention the knock on effects of having so many players and pieces to test the edges of rules both mystical and...

    I was shocked too, tbh, it feels like a very natural crossover considering both settings have virtual reality, dealings in souls, and a firm belief in the ability of human passions to overcome hard-coded machine logic rules.

    A thin silence stretched across the gate to the fields, growing brittle as minutes built towards an hour. Players glanced at each other, adjusted weapons, stared into the dark beyond the massive archway as though it might come alive with some swarm of monsters. They made some silent show of...

    Boars died. Wolves died. The counter ticking its way up in the corner of Helewise’ vision gave a total as she crossed the fields towards the shadowed bulk of the forest. A line of darkness out there on the horizon, barely distinguishable from the night itself beyond being ‘darker’ than what came...

    The blood red sky had faded away into a facsimile of night, strange little lights on the underside of the second floor above creating an artificial tapestry of light that mimicked the outside world's. The streets had been chaotic with small groups of players hurrying this way and that even when...

    Effects on others actual bodies are mid-late game territory revelations, or when a certain very particular character makes their appearance at the very least.
