Chapter 637
It’s now been about a year since someone cleared the 2nd floor of Aincrad
A year is a duration that’s not short or too longFor the players inside SAO, however, they felt like the year lasted longer than a typical year in the real world
A lot of things happened during the span of one yearIn the real world, a lot of changes happened, these were unknown to the players because they were all still stuck in the ga world, inforhout the player base
The ress of the frontliners in Aincrad
Things sped up after sole case of being stuck on a floor for s the players sahen they were still living on the 1st and 2nd floor convinced theame
It really lifted their hopes when someone went and cleared the 2nd floor in one dayThe other players picked up the slack and they threw thespeed if only a littleThey didn’t wait around hoping for someone to beat it for them
With sospeed basically took off
They used 1 month to clear the first floorSomeone then beat the 2nd floor in one dayIn just a short year, the players are already on the 55th floor with the cooperation of all players and the sharing of informationThe players are now more than halfway done with Aincrad
The frontliners never stopped to pat the with each other, guilds, squads, individual players, they helped each other to reach this point with the top floor of Aincrad as their ultioal
Frontliners are few in number, there are only about a hundred or so hardcore frontliners out of tens of thousands of players in SAOThey can be distinguished froh levels, and their advanced equipmentThe frontliners did most of the floor conquest in Aincrad
The frontliners can be generally divided into 5 factions
Firstly, The Fuurinkazan, a clearing guild led by KleinThey are a relatively nor hunting grounds, they eschewed bullying average players, and other unsightly behaviorHence, they are very well-respected aed to hly capable frontliners
The second faction: those associated with the Divine Dragons Alliance, these players are notorious for being willing to do anything to beco a player (not to the extent of death), turning thee status (potentially haret their hands on rare iteh it is known that the leadershi+p changes frequently, probably because itsfor hts of Blood Oath, arguably the strongest guild in all of SAO, led by Heathcliff, they are publicly known as the strongest clearing guildThey are not as nuuilds but all their members are talented elitesAsuna is the vice-leader, by the wayWith two very capable players, including Heathcliff, KoB is evidently very strong couilds
The fourth faction is one no one expected, this guild was originally an ill-fated guild that is third-rated at best in the original workUnlike the original work, Moonlit Black Cats appeared auilds in SAO
Moonlit Black Cats are led by Souta
In one year’s time, a certain benefactor indirectlyresourcesThey started as a suild of 6the top 5 guilds in SAO
The Black Cats are also very salient for being the only players in a raid group to coearsThey are easily the guild with the least ht on par with Divine Dragons Alliance and Fuurinkazan just by relying on their superior gears
