Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo actually takes place before the events of Sword Art Online. Sorata (voiced by the same person as Kirito), is inspired to become a game creator. Later in the future, his intelligence/creativty, along with Mashiro's artistic skills create Sword Art Online. Corrupt from the passing of Mashiro during a test run of the Nerve Gear, Sorata goes under a different identity as Akihiko Kayaba. He finishes the world him and Mashiro created to bring the same fate Mashiro suffered to the players.
