Fate was a curious thing. Jeanne d'Arc Alter did not think she would fall in love nor be worthy of incarnating, but her Master often proved her wrong.
Remembering nothing sans his name and Personas, Arisato Minato was hoping for a silver lining to his situation after waking up in an unfamiliar city. When he met Tobiichi Origami and Itsuka Shido, he never expected to be involved in clashes between girls in suits of mechanical armor and beings called Spirits... or that he would also be designated as a Spirit. AU.
The players of SAO heard of the legendary Black Swordsman and feared him. However, there was an even more frightening entity in the world. Nobody knows where he came from, what he really looks like, aside from his blue hair, or even what his abilities are. The blue-haired 'Ghost in the Machine' is not a player, not an NPC, and not to be trifled with. (Being re-written)
Arisato Minato knew he lived an unusual life when he died. But he never thought he would be resurrected by a self-mute necromancer! Now he's a zombie and a servant of the necromancer who revived him? And Magical Garment Girls and vampire ninjas actually exist? Wasn't his life unusual enough already? AU.
After the events of Gun Gale Online, Kirigaya Kazuto was invited to attend Hope's Peak Academy as the 'Ultimate Virtual Swordsman'.

Little did he know that one class trip would result in a game of death at the paws of a monochrome bear. AU.
