Sword Art Online
Argus was the gaming corporation that produced «Sword Art Online» and «NerveGear» under the direction of Kayaba Akihiko, who had long been employed as one of their game designers. The fifth floor basement contains the data for the world of Aincrad. When Kayaba Akihiko effectively traps ten thousand players in the game, many of the deceased players' family members sue the company. Argus then files bankruptcy, selling their Cardinal System to RECTO Progress Inc. who used it to create Alfheim Online.
