Aincrad is a massive, floating steel castle, consisting of 100 interconnected floors


Author's Note: Aincrad is the iconic setting of Sword Art Online, a colossal, floating fortress suspended in the virtual sky. Shaped like an inverted cone, it features 100 expansive floors, each representing a unique world with its own landscapes, towns, forests, mountains, and dungeons. The floors are stacked like layers, with higher levels becoming progressively more challenging to navigate and conquer. Each floor is connected by labyrinths, which players must traverse to locate and defeat powerful floor bosses to unlock access to the next level. The environment within Aincrad is immersive and diverse, ranging from tranquil villages and bustling cities to treacherous wildernesses and dark, monster-filled caverns. What makes Aincrad particularly perilous is the death game imposed on its players. Once trapped in this virtual world, players are unable to log out, and dying in the game results in death in real life. This high-stakes environment amplifies the tension as players struggle to survive, form alliances, and strive to clear all 100 floors to escape the fortress and regain their freedom. Its combination of beauty, danger, and mystery makes Aincrad a striking and unforgettable setting.

Description

You touch a point and infuse an area around it with holy (or unholy) power. The area can have a radius up to 60 feet, and the spell fails if the radius includes an area already under the effect a hallow spell. The affected area is subject to the following effects. First, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead can't enter the area, nor can such creatures charm, frighten, or possess creatures within it. Any creature charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a creature is no longer charmed, frightened, or possessed upon entering the area. You can exclude one or more of those types of creatures from this effect. Second, you can bind an extra effect to the area. Choose the effect from the following list, or choose an effect offered by the DM. Some of these effects apply to creatures in the area; you can designate whether the effect applies to all creatures, creatures that follow a specific deity or leader, or creatures of a specific sort, such as ores or trolls. When a creature that would be affected enters the spell's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it can make a charisma saving throw. On a success, the creature ignores the extra effect until it leaves the area. **Courage.** Affected creatures can't be frightened while in the area. **Darkness.** Darkness fills the area. Normal light, as well as magical light created by spells of a lower level than the slot you used to cast this spell, can't illuminate the area **Daylight.** Bright light fills the area. Magical darkness created by spells of a lower level than the slot you used to cast this spell can't extinguish the light. **Energy Protection.** Affected creatures in the area have resistance to one damage type of your choice, except for bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing **Energy Vulnerability.** Affected creatures in the area have vulnerability to one damage type of your choice, except for bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing. **Everlasting Rest.** Dead bodies interred in the area can't be turned into undead. **Extradimensional Interference.** Affected creatures can't move or travel using teleportation or by extradimensional or interplanar means. **Fear.** Affected creatures are frightened while in the area. **Silence.** No sound can emanate from within the area, and no sound can reach into it. **Tongues.** Affected creatures can communicate with any other creature in the area, even if they don't share a common language.
