Rewritten
Kirito doesn't exist here. You take his place.
None of his history carries over. You start on floor 1 as your own person, and what you become and who you trust decide how the death game ends.
01 · Current operation
Floor 1 has to work end to end.
The Town of Beginnings, the fields above it, and the first boss clear form one shippable milestone. Every later floor has to play by the rules this one proves.
