After Shimotsuki is left to lead Division 01 alone in the wake of Tsunemori's imprisonment, she takes it upon herself to ensure that the CID's high standards continue to be maintained. Yet the added responsibility of the job, coupled with the strain of staying true to her principles no matter the cost, may prove to be a weight too heavy for the fledgling Inspector to bear.

Hachiman takes responsibility, as is his duty - at least, according to Iroha. But where does he go from here?

A traveler wakes up in Gensokyo, with no recollection of how he arrived there. He finds out everything he can about the place, noting points of interest in his diary as he traverses the realm. Though he does not know why he is there, one thing becomes evident: he knows more than he seems to realize.

On the day the game is completed, all those who still live are restored to the reality they have desired for so long. All except one, who is forced to remain for reasons unknown. Now alone to face the full brunt of a splintered and discarded Aincrad's fury, he must undertake the impossible task of discovering a way out of the floating castle by himself… or die trying.

A Knights of the Blood member's brief yet horrifying encounter with evil drives him to take action against those who have wronged him, leading to the creation of a team dedicated to weeding out and eliminating player killers. However, he eventually discovers that his true enemies may lie where he least suspects them to - within the guild, within his friends, and within himself.

Three worlds. Two games. One treasure. The hunt for The Seed's most prized and well-guarded secret begins.

Rena Hyodo meets a mysterious man at a party, and makes a gamble that will change her fortunes forever.

Many of those who inhabit Aincrad know about the pink-haired, wide-eyed, cheerful blacksmith operating out of her workshop on the 48th Floor. But only a select few remember the person who came before: the straggler, the street-vendor, the scavenger - and above all, the survivor.
