Eh not likely anyone will recognize Sword Art Online. It's an anime that has a total of 49 episodes, and one only has to look on Crunchyroll to check it out. Anyways... Ahem.
It starts off about a gamer who gets stuck inside a virtual reality game with 9,999 other people, and they have to clear 100 floors to get out. Catch is, if they die in game... they die in real life. Can't really say much more without giving away the whole storyline, but that should be enough to understand my prompt.
When Kayaba made Sword Art Online, he came up with many ideas, and discarded them all... Except for two. One based off of a floating castle called Aincrad (which is what it is in canon), and one based off of Middle Earth. As he designed the game, he couldn't get permission to use Middle Earth as the base for his game, and as such, ended up with Aincrad. However, he accidentally put in elements of the scrapped Middle Earth game. It doesn't affect much... until Kirito stumbles across a room. It seems out of place, odd. No enemies appear. He puts it out of his mind, and later, when looking for something to do, ends up there with a few others (Asuna, Klein, Agil, Silica, and Lisbeth preferable; OCs or characters who normally wouldn't appear til later welcome though). They think it's just a fun little room to be in and relax outside of the safe zones of the cities... Until suddenly... They're no longer on a virtual world... they're actually in Middle Earth. What happens then? What do they do now that they are in a real world?
I'm really not looking for accuracy or completely plausible explanations. Just something fun to read that takes creative license with the universes. :)
