In older news, a what-if Alicization story titled "If You Were Here" was released with the eighth Alicization BD/DVD on August 28, 2019. The story tells the tale of what would have happened if Eugeo and Kirito had not broken the Taboo Index at the academy. Half of the story was released beforehand in the form of the author's Material Editions.

A huge castle made of stone and steel floating in an endless sky. That was all this world was.

It took a vagarious group of craftsmen one month to survey the place; the diameter of the base floor was about 10 kilometers — large enough to fit the entirety of Setagaya-ku within. Above, there were 100 floors stacking straight upwards; its sheer size was unbelievable. It was impossible to even guess how much data it consisted of.

Inside, there were a couple of large cities along with countless small scale towns and villages, forests and plains, and even lakes. Only one stairway linked each floor to another, and the stairways existed in dungeons where large numbers of monsters roamed; so discovering and getting through was no easy matter. However, once someone made a breakthrough and arrived at a city of the upper floor, the «Teleport Gates» there and of every cities in the lower floors would be connected making it possible for anyone to move freely through these levels.

With these conditions, the huge castle had been steadily conquered for two years. The current front line is the 74th floor.

The name of the castle was «Aincrad», a world of battles with swords that continued floating and had engulfed approximately six thousand people. Otherwise known as...

«Sword Art Online».

The «Ocean Turtle» (オーシャン・タートル) is a mega-float located in the Pacific Ocean, at a place near Izu Islands about 250 kilometres away from Tokyo, that is run by Rath and acts as a government research facility for «Project Alicization», an effort to create a highly adaptive Artificial Intelligence.
