Town of Beginnings

Starting City (はじまりの街), also known as "Town of Beginnings", is the city on the 1st floor of «Aincrad». It is capable of housing over six thousand people. It is also where a majority of the non-players in «Sword Art Online» reside. Starting City has a large road paved with stone, and medieval streets surrounded by street-lights.

When the game is cleared, Kirito and Asuna watch as the «Starting City» and Aincrad crumble into the clouds along with the other floors.
