What if the world's most expected, anticipated vrmmorpg turned out to be the largest, cruelest experiment ever? What if the world's biggest genius turned out to be a sick sociopath? What if 10.000 men and women, children and elderly were trapped in a castle in the sky? What if your life didn't belong only to you? What if fighting was your only option? What if... That was you?

Hello, everyone! 

Gonna be quick here, and list some major points about Shattered which I know many of you will be concerned:

Point 1: Just like every other SAO fan out there, I too felt like we received too little of Kirito's and his friends' adventures on Aincrad. There's so much untapped potential, and I plan to make the best of it. So, this story will be covering all 100 floors of Aincrad, if possible. Of course, there might be some skips along the way, and until it's published, the story is always prone to changes, but at least that's the base plan.

Point 2: Th MC won't be Kirito, but an original character (an OC, as we like to call them). You will discover more about him as the novel progress, but I can tell you that, one: he is just another person trapped in SAO, and won't have any previous knowledge of the game, and two, it is not a self-insert, but rather, like I already mentioned, just another player. For those of you who read my first novel Broke (shameless plug-in), you can think of him like Dageer, just someone trying their best to survive and to make sure his friends do the same.

Point 3: The story will start cannon-ish, but, unlike Broke, it will at some point diverse from cannon (where it will take us, I have no idea). 

Point 4: I plan to write about the Aincrad and ALO arcs of SAO. As of now, I don't know if we will reach GGO, and most probably not Alicization.

Point 5 (and last): This is NOT a harem story. It will also not be one of those novels where the MC ends up with a single girl, but has tons of others pinning for him (as for who the female lead is, I believe you should discover easily, I'm not that great at writing romance). In fact, one of the things that bothered me about SAO the most was that while Kirito only got together with Asuna (and will still do in this fanfic) he had four or five other girls which were left without resolution. Expect that to change.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Sword Art Online franchise (obviously) so please don't sue me.

Enjoy the novel! And, to start as cliché as possible:

LINK START!

So, as you saw last chapter, I'm introducing Yui. However, I would like your opinion on who she should imprint on. In other words, who do you think should become her parents?


3 - Somehow all 4 of them?? Not sure how that would work


Obviously I won't decide based only on this little survey,  I'll probably write two or even three different versions of how I think it should go (and it's not next chapter already, there will be a little buffer), but this is one decision I'm really torn on because I can see how it would work great no matter which one I decide, so I appreciate the input!


Also, to the person who mentioned Strea in their comment, thank you for that! I had forgotten about her, and you gave me a really good idea for something I can do in the future.
