Chapter.001
After entering into a Soul Translator experiment, Kirito was doing his Sacred Task with his workmate Eugeo. Both woodcutters, their task was to cut down the giant tree Gigas Cedar, which had withstood more than three hundred years of diligent daily chopping over several generations using the equally tough Dragon Bone Axe. The Gigas Cedar had to be cut down in order to expand the fields and pastures for the village wherein Kirito and Eugeo lived, Rulid Village of the Norlangarth North Empire. When they had finished their quota for the morning, Kirito and Eugeo began grappling each other. They stopped upon hearing the scolding voice of their friend Alice, the village chief's daughter studying the Sacred Arts in Rulid Village, who had come to bring her homemade lunch to them. While discussing how they could maintain their food's «Life» longer, they decided to search for ice in the forbidden «Mountain Range at the Edge».
