A year ago, the cosmos began to fracture. Strange, otherworldly portals—known as time rifts—started to appear sporadically throughout various realms, connecting worlds that were never meant to touch. Kei, Teri, and Ignis were first alerted to these anomalies while on a mission in their home dimension, the Realm of Aetheria. In this world of ethereal beings and advanced technology, each of them had carved out a unique path as heroes and defenders. However, the appearance of these portals led to mysteries beyond their knowledge and whispered rumors of a world where souls were bound in virtual landscapes—where death in the game meant death in reality.

Kei (Age: 20):
The youngest of the three, Kei is a warrior of grace and light. Her four wings, adorned with shimmering diamonds, give her both an angelic and formidable appearance. Kei is a skilled fighter but possesses a curious and adventurous spirit, which often leads her into the heart of danger. She senses a strange familiarity within the Sword Art Online universe, almost as if she was always meant to find it.

Commander Teri (Age: 24):
As Kei's protector and a seasoned leader, Teri has seen his fair share of battles. With his intense eyes and sharp features, Teri wields technology-driven weapons with deadly precision, and his experience has made him both strategic and wise. He's determined to ensure the safety of Kei and Ignis, but the Sword Art Online universe challenges his understanding of reality and trust. His connection to this world seems intertwined with old secrets, though he is reluctant to share what he suspects.

Ignis (Age: 22):
Soft-spoken yet powerful, Ignis is a mystic with the ability to soothe and heal. Her serene presence is a source of comfort to Kei and Teri, and her knowledge of ancient magic makes her invaluable as they navigate unknown realms. Ignis has been haunted by visions of a "digital realm" for years, leading her to believe that their arrival in the Sword Art Online universe is not by chance. She may hold the key to understanding the rifts but harbors a secret of her own—one that could either save her friends or doom them.
