"Looks like these Japanese are quite wealthy. Whether it's that they can afford such materials or that they can afford to hire people who can use them. Hans, can C4 blow up this isolation wall?"

"It's best not to do that. We're already very close to the Light Cube cluster, and we might damage it."

"...Okay. Our task is to find one of the many light cubes and bring it back along with the interface. We already have the cube's ID, which means that as long as we can operate the console, we can easily search for this cube and pop it from the cluster. It should have been completed long ago... Just who are those two guys?"

“That’s all irrelevant now. Something’s gone wrong, and we can no longer access that world through the administrator account.” The hacker shook his head, then, as if he’d discovered something, his eyes widened. “These guys… these goblins and orcs… they’re part of the system! We can get over there through them; these souls weren’t hidden away!”

"Is that right?"

“That’s right! And those high-level accounts are also exposed. If they are accounts that RATH operators log in to for internal observation or operation, there should be accounts for every class and identity. Military officers, generals, nobles... oh, maybe even the emperor.”

"So, we can just log in with a big shot like a general or president and issue orders at will!" Vasak muttered to himself, then slapped the hacker on the shoulder. "Well done!"

"That's right! There are two super accounts outside the human realm, and they're not password protected! Let me see... One of them is a Dark Knight with a privilege level of 70. This one works!"

"Nice! I'll take this!" Vasak exclaimed excitedly. Gabriel nodded, and after discussing it with Vasak, they acquired the Dark Empire Emperor's account. For them, this was tantamount to finding the fastest path to success. But in reality…

"These people actually dared to log in with those two accounts..."

IV. Reunion and End

Sorin, inside the Underworld, was completely bewildered. He had no idea what was happening outside and could only climb step by step to the top of the Central Cathedral. This made him feel like a pawn, completely at their mercy.

"I don't like this at all... Even if it meant I could be a real man and reach the peak, it would be better than this..."

He muttered to himself helplessly, but the last instruction came from his little angel, and he tended to trust his own angel more than anyone else. However, as he gradually climbed upwards, he suddenly noticed that the sky outside was darkening.

Shadows loomed over the distance, over the village where Eugeo had grown up, or more precisely, over the distant, far-off mountains. Perhaps something had appeared there, but he didn't know. He could only reach the very top and pin his hopes on that place.

"I hope the person at the top can answer some of my questions."

Climbing the stairs wasn't difficult, and he quickly reached the top. The very top of the central cathedral was still empty, except for a transparent crystal system terminal in the northernmost room. The user interface was in English, so there were no reading difficulties. After clicking through screen after screen, Solin finally found what seemed to be what he was looking for.

[Calling on external surveillance]

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, he pressed the button and then uttered his first truly meaningful conversation with the outside world in a long time.

“wei, zaima?”

"Although I really wanted to reply with 'buzai, cmn,' it's so good to hear your voice again, Arashi."

A familiar voice came from the other end. Unable to hold back, Solin's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

"Are you alright, Yuna?"

"I'm fine, I just miss you."

The choked voice on the other end had barely uttered those words when it was interrupted by another familiar girl's voice.

“Pong friend, stop for a second. This isn’t appropriate. To make a long story short, now log into a high-privilege account on this platform and settle accounts with one of your old rivals. Once you’ve taken him down, we’ll all be safe.”

The voice belonged to Vector, with whom his daughter had a good relationship; Sorin recognized it. He nodded silently, then touched the screen a few times, finding what appeared to be an administrator account. The account ID was "Sorin, Lord of Innistard." Although it didn't quite fit the style of this world, Sorin knew that this was the origin of his ID—the true guardian of the world shrouded in shadow.

His attire suddenly changed, becoming a medieval light armor with rubies adorning his chest, and the weapons hanging on his body flashed with light, transforming into the glittering artifacts he had seen in the armory before.

"The level of detail is really high, in every sense of the word. I guess... Yuna will also appear in front of me in a way that I'm very familiar with."

He muttered to himself, suddenly becoming expectant of what was to come.

“Miss Yuna, let’s log in now. It’s time to close the net. Ivy, if you can still command those traitors, have them flank us from below and surround the First SIL Room with us. Wait for Mr. Mo’s movements, then prepare for a full-scale assault.”

"What does 'traitor' mean... come to think of it, it really is..."

He could still hear that sound on the other end. But Solin wasn't going to care about those details anymore. He was just grateful that the girl who had fought alongside him countless times was back by his side once again.

A figure materialized into light beside him, then solidified instantly. Short silver hair, smart overalls, a red-hot stone sword in his right hand, and a burning gaze, a mixture of excitement and longing, that wouldn't leave Solin for a moment.

"It's quite a different style from the art style of this world, but if you look closely at me... I'm actually the same."

At this moment, Suolin didn't know what to say, so he could only bring up some seemingly unrelated topics, and then watched as the girl in front of him hugged him tightly.

"sorry."

"Lan...please don't go on dangerous missions by yourself anymore, okay?"

The last rays of sunlight gently fell upon the two of them, and even the approaching shadows from afar could not dispel this ray of light.

"Just this once, I promise. From now on, no matter who has any trouble and needs my help, I won't go."

Sorin gently patted Yuna's back and whispered this promise in her ear. Although Yuna felt that these words sounded unreliable, she didn't want to think too much about it at the moment. After all, whatever might happen in the future, they would experience it and face it together.

"I'm not entirely sure how effective your promise will be, but I'll always be by your side. With Ivy."

"What you said really hurts me... but now doesn't seem like the time to talk about these things."

Solin sighed and ruffled Yuna's hair again, then walked with her to the window. The shadows had already surrounded the central cathedral. Looking down, he saw an almost endless array of ghosts and orcs, followed by—the Emperor of the Dark Empire and his knights.

"Wow, there are so many people. You're kidding me, do you think I'm afraid of crowds? I have more people than you!"

He chuckled twice, then waved his hand. Suddenly, a horde of vampire soldiers appeared beside him. They looked ready to break their canes and swear allegiance to Sorin at any moment, then ran down to the lower levels to guard their respective areas. They kept appearing there, initially outnumbered, but later seemed to outnumber the monsters.

Come here, hug me.

He whispered softly in Yuna's ear, swept her up in his arms, and leaped out of the window of the central cathedral, landing steadily in the center of the demon horde. His longsword swept across, reducing the demons near his landing point to ashes. At that moment, Yuna jumped off him, drew her sword back-to-back, and confronted the army before them.

"I really didn't expect you to cause me so much trouble, Mr. PoH... Or can I try calling you by your non-existent real name now?"

"You really are quite imposing, Sorin. You haven't changed much since you were in SAO..."

The leading knight stared intently at Solin, his gaze filled with hatred that didn't match his light tone, but no one cared about such details now.

"Now, this is a personal matter!"

"You bastard, get the hell out of here!"

end

I closed the book, put it back on the shelf labeled "2020-2030," then forcefully placed my hand on the period key on the keyboard and pushed it back into the desk.

"And then? It feels like this story isn't over yet." Rebecca sat on the edge of my bed, looking curiously at my computer screen. "Are you also hiding something?"

"I will not hide anything, at least not when it comes to my own responsibilities. If you read that book, you can see the whole story. But I certainly won't explain it here."

I sighed, pointed to the bookshelf over there, and then asked, "You really don't plan to go find your son?"

"Never mind. They should have their own lives, instead of suddenly finding themselves in someone else's life..."

Rebecca suddenly stopped speaking, then stared wide-eyed at the doorway. There stood her senior and Yuna, who had appeared there sometime earlier. It's a little embarrassing to admit, but I hadn't even intended to watch their interaction; I just jumped over the wall and ran away when I saw this scene, so I have no idea what they were talking about. To be honest, Rebecca wasn't going to tell me afterwards, so how would I know what they talked about? Making things up for you guys? That's not my style.

In short, all I can tell you is that Gabriel's team's plan failed in every sense of the word. Or rather, their planners simply couldn't outsmart Chu Ziyu, so their failure was to be expected. However, it was quite unexpected that the senior, who was already deeply entangled in the underworld, was able to extricate himself from it.

In fact, the disruptor team and Chu Ziyu attracted countless eyes on the outside during that incident, so much so that even after the incident was resolved, the senior and Yuna were still treated as simple victims. This also severed their connection with the other side of the world.

About a month later, I attended my senior's wedding. There were so many people; I hadn't even realized he knew so many people. The funniest thing was that my senior, who claimed he'd never worn women's clothing before, actually wore a wedding dress that day. He said it was Yuna who insisted (and Yuna was wearing a men's suit). Anyway, I laughed so hard I almost choked, and I was nearly thrown off a building from the 20s afterwards…

To be honest, the senior looked really beautiful in the wedding dress... so much so that a meme later circulated in the community: "[This is the difference between you and a pro, understand? .jpg]"

Perhaps the only person still connected to the other side of the world is Ivy Xin. After all, she signed a contract with Chu Ziyu to reshape her body (just kidding), and then she was completely won over by the only humanoid under his command, though nothing particularly significant has been revealed yet. She became a VTuber as she wished, drawing her father's comics and occasionally going on dates with Vector... This is probably the life she loves most.

In any case, the story ends here. I can also put this notebook away for now, waiting for the next person with a story to find me and continue their tale.

Author's Closing Remarks and New Book Plans

It seems I have no choice but to end this hastily. After several unexpected events, I still haven't figured out a proper way to continue this story. So, I might as well just put a period to it here.

Thinking about it carefully, could this book be renamed "Jessie Ball's Complete Correction Book"? But I know where the biggest mistake lies. I wanted to write the story I truly wanted to write, but I don't know when it started, this story is no longer what I expected.

Let's just end it here. Let me start from a new beginning, so I can tell a new story that belongs to me.

Thank you for reading this far. Thank you for patiently waiting for my long delay in updating. I've let you down, I'm sorry.

On the bright side, at least I mustered the courage to give the story an ending instead of directly giving you an outline (although I did consider doing that, but then I thought it would be too irresponsible).

that's all.

The new book, "The Dream Revelation of the Contractor," is now available online.

So your author, Ball, has made another big splash.

This is another product from author Qiu, who's recently become obsessed with 5E. Anyway, this time it's a legitimate creation. If you're passing by, feel free to take a look. That's all.
