Synopsis: Yukki is a trouble 15 year old boy with depression after his mother’s death. The only for Yukki to ease his pain is to play on video games as he forgets about his problems with school.

A high tech VR game comes out called Akhenaten Dar Death which is made by his hero, Kayaba Akihiko. Yukki purchases the game and as soon get’s home he switches on the game.

Once in the game, Yukki is shock of how well the graphics are and that he looks exactly like his character. He befriends some other characters and after a while they decide to log out to meet in the real world. To their surprise, there is no logout button. Suddenly they both feel dizzy, causing them to passout.

When Yukki wakes up, his head hurts and feels different. His friend looks at him shocked as asks if it’s Yukki. Yukki looks at his friend confused, then realized he’s not himself. He’s female?

All the game characters are together in a stadium-like area and everyone is confused. Suddenly, the ground shakes and the sky starts to turn red. A voice out of nowhere bellows throughout the area causing everyone to stop and stare. The voice claims to me Kayaba Akihiko himself and says to get logged out, you need to complete the game. The game is to defeat big boss, which is stronger than all the characters put together. If you die in the game, you die in the real world and you cannot try and tamper with the VR headset otherwise instant death.

Everyone goes hectic after this, causing people to level up just to survive in the dangerous game which some characters are fairies, some characters have changed genders for some reason, and some people are wizards.

Yukki falls for a player named ‘Aki’ and decide together, to beat the game.

Yukki defriends a lot of players in order for him to defeat the ‘Big Boss’. He goes on a lot of adventures and nearly gets killed by enimies a  few of times.

5 long years of being in the game, Yukki levels up a lot and his ‘crew’ decide to conquer the ‘Big Boss’. Yukki nearly defeats the Boss when the Boss stabs Aki  straight through the heart causing her to die instantly. Yukki is now angry and takes uses all his energy to hurt the Boss but it was too late. Yukki got stabbed straight through the stomach. Yukki is slowly dying but he knows that he can defeat the Boss and avenge Aki’s death. As Yukki was dying he just had enough strength, and stabbed to boss. They both died but as Yukki was the one who killed the boss he was given life and freed everyone from the game.

Everyone wakes up from their game-state in a hospital bed but the world has completely changed but Yukki doesn’t care. He is demanded to find Aki to see if she had really died.

Once he found her room, she was alive but she hadn’t woken up from the game. He has to go back into the game and get Aki out…
