## Synopsis

Kirito wakes in a sprawling, uncannily lifelike virtual realm with no memory of how he got there, guided by a boy whose emotions feel far too real for an NPC. As he searches for answers, a name resurfaces from his childhood—Alice—and with it a mystery that stretches to the foundations of this world. Alicization is the series at its largest scale, trading quick arcs for a deep, immersive epic about consciousness, memory, and what makes a person real.
