Kayaba Akihiko sat frozen, staring dumbfounded at his collapsing game. A woman had just obliterated all 100 floors in one sweep. Who was she? Why was she here? What on earth had just happened? Had the game been hacked? Impossible... Panic-stricken, he started tapping away at his controls, trying to understand. But soon, the truth struck him— All players had been forcibly logged out. The game had been cleared. ... Kayaba fell silent. This... really was a complete breach. He was frustrated, and even more so, utterly hopeless. "I never imagined anyone in this world could wield such powerful tech..." He murmured to himself and sighed deeply. "That's because no one in your world can," came a teasing voice. Startled, Kayaba turned around— —and saw Takumi standing there. "Not from this world?" "Are you joking?" Kayaba furrowed his brow, a flicker of hope rising within. Could other worlds really exist? "No joke," Takumi replied. "I came here just to scoop up a few people." "Wanna come with me?" "To another world." "I can even give you a new body." "And help you recreate Aincrad from scratch." Takumi extended the offer. Kayaba Akihiko was certainly a genius. Obsessed with the dream of a floating fortress. He'd grown up to develop the NerveGear and created SAO. A quantum physicist at heart, he'd even built medical tools. Takumi saw value in taking him along. "If you can really do that, I'd give up everything for it!" Kayaba was practically trembling now. The thought of a real Aincrad in another world— He would sacrifice everything for it. "Then it's settled!" "But for now, stay put. I'll pick you up later." With that, Takumi vanished. Left alone in the void, Kayaba stared at the screen. The game was done. The players were free. And the visitor from another world had disappeared like a ghost. "Another world... another world... another world!!" It really existed! How glorious! The sheer power Takumi showed—there was no way he was from this world. There simply wasn't anyone in this world who could surpass Kayaba's own tech. That was his utmost conviction. Takumi had to be from another world—just as he claimed. ... Back in the hospital room, Takumi quietly withdrew his hand. And Asuna—lying in bed—slowly opened her eyes. Then she sat up. "Good morning, dear~!" "Welcome back." Takumi beamed at her. Asuna twitched at the corner of her lips. We're not that close... And my parents are literally right there! She was speechless. "Takumi-kun... please don't say things like that." Asuna sighed in defeat. Trouble was surely brewing. Questions, questions, and more questions awaited. "Asuna! You're awake!" Her parents rushed to her side, elated. Nothing could bring them more joy. Meanwhile, across the city and beyond— Everyone celebrated. The game had been broken. Those trapped inside began waking up. News of the event hit the trending feeds in an instant. Everyone was dying to know— Who did it? How was the entire game cracked so fast? It was almost absurd. Takumi looked at Asuna's family and spoke with a smile: "Asuna." "I'll visit your home later." "I have something else to take care of first." "Go ahead and get discharged." Asuna had only been unconscious for two days. She was otherwise healthy. She blinked, then nodded. "Alright." She knew exactly what Takumi was off to do. There was no need to stop him. He could come by later—she'd treat him well then. After saying his goodbyes, Takumi turned and left. Once he was gone, Kyouko Yuuki couldn't help but ask: "Asuna, who is Takumi?" She had been dying to ask. Just who was this incredible person? Her daughter had befriended someone so powerful it defied logic. Was this world hiding real superhumans all along? Asuna paused for a moment, then began explaining. There was no need to hide the group chat anymore. After all, Sagiri had told her mom. "Takumi is... basically a Kami." "But not from our world." "He's a Kami-sama from another one." "I met them after entering the game." She then told them everything that had happened. About Takumi's identity in another world. How he held an entire world in his hands. How he could destroy planets like playthings. She even talked about what she'd learned from the group— Including the concept of immigration. By the time she finished, her whole family was stunned. Another world? A god? A group chat that allowed cross-world travel? They were speechless. Their daughter had gone on the wildest adventure imaginable. "Alright, alright!" "Be sure to get along with them." "No matter what Takumi-san needs—well, never mind." "We probably can't help with much anyway." "Just do your best to stay on good terms with him." "We owe him big time." "If there's ever anything we can do, let us know." Shouzou Yuuki was practically glowing. This was beyond good news. Even if they couldn't offer much help— They were now tied to something much, much bigger. Asuna had mentioned Takumi was here to gather knowledge and people. That he'd likely be leaving soon. But whatever the case, they would support him. And then there was that last thing Asuna said— Immigration.
