Aincrad (SAO)

Cost: 10 SP

Kayaba Akihiko may have been the one behind Nerve Gear, but even his genius is left in the dust by yours. You’ve now gained the ability to easily create and expand upon any and all technology shown, hinted at, or referenced in the Sword Art Online series, from advanced A.I., to Nerve Gear, to World Seeds, to even the Soul Translators. Your ability with creating virtual worlds and the infrastructure to support them is in particular incredibly exceptional, allowing you to effortlessly create worlds that enraptures people and that feel, and are, as alive as the real world.

You will, as a bonus, start off with the virtual worlds Aincrad, Alfheim, Serene Garden, Asuka Empire, and Gun Gale already created and filled with characters that are just as real as you stored on a small digital server you get for free alongside a nerve gear headset.

You may optionally choose for the Nerve Gear and any of the virtual worlds to already be widespread and with a massive fanbase and online community and presence.

Digital World

It seems the worlds you’ve created are no mere digital construct, they are as real as the physical world is. Even if the servers that your worlds are located on are destroyed, your worlds will still exist. The digital servers are just your method of traveling between the two, life created and born here is just as real as that of the physical world and can now be materialized into the real world, and physical things can now be dematerialized into the virtual world freely.

Video Game Character

It seems you’ve gained the ability to interact with the real world the way you would in the digital, and vice versa. Now the abilities you possess in the real world will follow you into the digital world, any abilities you pick up in digital worlds will continue to work in the real world, and you may extend and retract this particular ability to any you wish as well. You can now also enter digital worlds which are not necessarily built by you, such as normal video games, and grow them into true virtual worlds.
