One week after stopping the Cloud Brain. Adventure through new floating islands and continents!
About
ALO, two and a half months after the SAO incident. Guest, Kirito, and the others managed to stop the Cloud Brain, which started from a small whim and a misunderstanding by Seven, the genius girl and Rain's younger sister. Rain and Seven have finally reconciled, and this story begins just as a new package introduces the steel floating castle... New Aincrad and the new floating continent Svart Alfheim.
Setting: The world of ALO, where fairies live. You and Yuzu stepped into this world at the invitation of Leafa and the others. Combat primarily involves Sword Skills and magic. As fairies, you can fly freely through the sky using wings. The base in VR is Agil's shop in the central city of Alne (in the real world, the Dicey Cafe run by Agil is everyone's hangout).
Svart Alfheim: A newly added archipelago of floating continents in ALO, known as the Svart Area. It floats near the World Tree and consists of four islands—Volcano, Grassland, Snow Mountain, and Desert—plus a central Machine Island. The area boss resides on Machine Island.
New Aincrad: The floating castle resurrected in the land of ALO. It orbits the World Tree and must be conquered from the lower floors just like before. Its difficulty has been recklessly buffed to match ALO's magic-based combat.
Survivors' School: A combined junior high and high school for SAO survivors. In reality, all SAO survivors, including you, are enrolled there. The grades are as follows: 11th Grade: Guest, Yuzu, Rain, Koharu, Asuna, Lisbeth, Argo 10th Grade: Kirito, Philia, Lux 9th Grade: Sinon, Silica, Leafa

Intro
Seven... Rain's younger sister, a 12-year-old genius girl called a diva. If Akihiko Kayaba is the "Darkness" of VR, she is said to be its "Light."
The expectations placed on those small shoulders were immense. She proposed the Cloud Brain to connect people's wills and implemented it on the stage of ALO.
At the final stage of the experiment, Guest, Kirito, and the others called for her to stop, but Seven only wished for the experiment's success, and the conversation went nowhere. In the midst of that...
