ALfheim Online

«ALfheim Online» (アルヴヘイム・オンライン) is the VRMMORPG successor to «Sword Art Online». It is compatible with any version of the FullDive technology. The game features multiple races of fairies, whose goals are to reach the top of the giant tree Yggdrasil in order to meet the Fairy King Oberon. It was said that Oberon will turn the chosen race to ALFs with the ability to fly indefinitely once this goal is achieved.

It is the setting for the Fairy Dance Arc of the series, which covered in the Light Novel volume 3, volume 4, volume 7 (Mother's Rosario)  and volume 8 part 2 (Caliber SS). Instead of the level system that SAO emphasized, ALO pursues skill development and encourages killing other players.

Trivia

 * ALfheim Online is loosely based on Norse Mythology/Viking Mythology. For example, is the Yggdrasil or rather, The World Tree. In the actual myth, the world tree, Yggdrasil, supported the entire cosmos. Another example is Jotunheimr, actually Jotunheim, in the myth, it is the icy home of the Frost Giants. And of course, "ALfheim" is a refernce to "Alfheim" in Norse Mythology, for the land of fairies/light elves.
