My avatar is the heroine

"Hello, Kirito, Sachi."

"who are you?"

Upon seeing the starry-eyed girl approach, Kirito immediately asked a question.

"Shokuhou Misaki, from the Game God Guild, ON.1 support. Don't let the support role fool you, I can defeat the strongest fighters without even needing to fight!"

"real or fake?"

Regardless of why the girl in front of him spoke in such a seductive tone, no one from the God of Games guild is simple.

"Is her name Yui?"

"Yes, it seems she has lost her memory. We are trying to find her family."

Chapter 330 The Final Strategy

"Sigh, what a pity. If I had found Yui-chan sooner, she would be calling me Mom and Dad now."

With this thought flashing through her mind, Misaki Shokuhou, who had long harbored feelings for Yui, sighed silently.

Such a cute little guy, I really missed out.

She had assumed that Kirito and Asuna weren't that close, so they wouldn't have taken the initiative to approach them.

"Sister is so, so cute." Yui licked her lips and leaned in, looking intently into her eyes.

"Ah, I feel embarrassed if you say that."

Misaki reached out and hugged the little girl with long, straight black hair, patting her head. Unexpectedly, Yui also raised her hand and patted her head in the same way.

"Yui, do you want to know about your past?"

Misaki's next words made the cute girl in front of her widen her eyes.

"Does your sister know?"

"Well, actually, your identity..."

She looked up at the people around her, and a few unrelated people immediately understood, saying, "Let's leave for now," and walked away to a distance.

Kirito and Sachi stayed, mainly because they believed that the two of them would be able to take good care of her in the future.

"Yui's true identity is similar to an advanced AI, SAO mental health counseling level - Prototype No. 1, code name Yui."

"what?"

"Well, Yui, don't worry, because you'll definitely be able to exist in the game in the future, as long as the relevant data is saved."

When revealing these truths, Misaki Shokuhou took out her remote control, pressed a button, and reassured the group, including Yui, making them accept the truth more easily.

How do you know this?

"Well, I'm a Level 5 esper, with powerful abilities in mind manipulation. Knowing this kind of thing is no problem for me." Shokuhou revealed her snow-white teeth, a flash of light appearing on them, causing black lines to appear on Kirito and the others' foreheads.

"Honestly, the people in your Game God Guild are really strange."

"Oh, right, I negotiated with Kayaba Akihiko before. If you successfully defeat the 75th floor boss, Kayaba Akihiko himself will have a final battle with the strongest among you, the dual-wielding Kirito. If you win, then everyone can quit the game."

"Is that so?"

“Yes, even if Kayaba himself disagrees, I will change his mind, just like this.” Misaki Shokuhou pressed a button on the remote control and said to Kirito, “Learn to bark like a dog 10 times.”

"Woof! ...!"

Kirito's expression suddenly changed as soon as he finished speaking.

"Wait, what did you do? Why did I suddenly start barking like a dog?"

Kirito covered his mouth, his face turning red instantly.

So embarrassing.

The others burst into laughter.

"It seems it's true, I believe you." Sachi chuckled, quickly patted Kirito's back, and comforted him, "Okay, okay, I was just joking."

Asuna felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

This scene caused a slight change in Misaki Shokuhou's mood: "Is this a change that has occurred since my arrival? It seems like the ending isn't going to be good."

How you use your abilities is your prerogative.

The system's subtitles appeared before my eyes.

"Is this a reminder coming out at this time?"

She shook her head inwardly and used her ability to transmit a message into Asuna's mind.

"Asuna-chan, I can help you erase your memories of liking Kirito. This might make you happier in the future, but whether you accept it or not is up to you."

"Huh?" Asuna exclaimed in surprise, quickly realizing it was Misaki Shokuhou's voice transmission.

"It's just a choice, and I won't force someone who isn't evil to make a choice."

Asuna looked up and saw Misaki Shokuhou smiling at her. Her heart suddenly calmed down: "Please give me some time. I know the chances of me being with Kirito are not very high."

"Yes, you can also contact me for other requests that require memory alteration or mental treatment."

After the telepathic call ended, Misaki looked down at her remote control.

Even she herself couldn't help but feel uneasy about this ability.

To what extent can it be done? It's to the point that if you say to someone who doesn't want to die, "Why don't you commit suicide now?" the person can immediately and sincerely thank you, saying, "Thank you for letting me commit suicide," and then pick up a knife and end their own life.

It really came from the bottom of my heart.

She can arbitrarily alter a person's entire memory, including their past, present, and personality. She can turn kind people into evil, and evil people into kind people. She can make those who hate her fall in love with her, and those who love her become hateful.

In this case...

"So, what exactly are human nature and emotions?"

In a world where even a person's own personality can be controlled at will, and there's no way to resist such control, Misaki Shokuhou is practically a god. She can easily stand on the throne of world ruler, making everyone her worshipper.

……

Seeing their chance to leave SAO, Kirito and his friends began to fight desperately.

Standing as an observer, quietly watching everything from above, Su Lin suddenly felt a sense of alienation from everything.

"Possessing immense power, and almost immortal life thanks to the system, having experienced world after world, one day I will look at everything with an all-encompassing understanding."

I'm starting to feel that way now, even a little bit.

"System, what do you think?"

Perhaps this is one of the purposes.

More than half a month later, on the 75th floor, in the BOSS room.

Of the 15 people who conducted the initial reconnaissance, six had just entered the room when it was suddenly sealed off.

Less than three minutes later, when the door opened again, everything was dark, and all the players had disappeared.

"They're all...dead?"

"It seems you all need to devise the right tactics. The BOSS spaceship in this level is difficult, so bring out more shields and have everyone cooperate. It will take at least several people working together to block the BOSS's attacks."

"I'm just wondering why you're not helping us?" Several people standing at the door turned around and asked her.

Su Lin shook his head: "I've saved many people in the past two years. I'll only intervene if I really can't hold on to the final challenge. As for why, maybe it's just because I don't want to interfere too much in this world."

Next, the players held a meeting, gathering the strongest members to prepare for a one-time breakthrough of this level.

"This is the final battle, everyone." Agil looked around at the people present.

They were all adventurers, willing to risk their lives to escape this world that restricted their freedom.

Even nameless extras...

"Yes, we must win this time."

Everyone mustered their courage, looking forward to the moment after victory.

Chapter 331 Nobuyuki Sugou?

75th floor, BOSS room.

"As expected, it's still too far-fetched."

Floating in mid-air watching the battle, X was at a loss for words, because this BOSS named Skeleton Centipede completely overwhelmed the players in every aspect. Its attack speed was so fast that it was impossible to see clearly, and the players in the strategy team, who were usually top performers, were instantly killed by a single normal attack. This level of strength far exceeded that of the BOSS on the 74th floor.

"As expected, it is necessary for me to bring back the players who died in this battle."

Kayaba Akihiko altered the program, and while Rikka couldn't revert the program back, she successfully used her abilities to interfere with the signal, preventing the helmets worn by the players from emitting microwaves.

In other words, in the end, everyone can survive.

Kirito, Asuna, Sachi... their teamwork is simply perfect.

Despite the BOSS's overwhelming power, they were still unable to stop everyone from creating a miracle. After several minutes of continuous fighting, the BOSS's health was depleted, and the huge skeletal monster turned into light in a tremor.

……

At the scene, when everyone was kneeling on the ground with mixed feelings, Kayaba Akihiko appeared.

"I have a question."

He raised his head, ignoring the silence of the others, and stared intently at the X floating above him: "Are you really from this world?"

"Kayaba, do you know where you went wrong in your game?" X didn't answer him, but changed his tone.

"What?" Kayaba asked.

"It's not realistic enough. The NPCs are rigid, the programs have no ability to think, and all the tasks are inflexible and boring. That's probably why players can immediately see the difference between themselves and this world."

X landed gently on the ground, his gaze sweeping across the room: "A good game, while full of fantasy, should also have a realistic aspect. NPCs should be like real people, with their own personalities and experiences. Your portrayal of the NPCs is really terrible. I don't ask for much, but at least let the players have some pleasant experience."

"I'm not in the mood to pay attention to these things."

He didn't understand X's intention at first, but a few seconds later, the man with a cigarette in his mouth suddenly realized something, looked up and said, "Do you think the game in this world is real?"

"Of course it's true."

X suspected that this guy had seen through something, but he didn't care. If Kayaba didn't want to change, then he'd let Shokuhou force him to change.

At that very moment, a female announcement suddenly rang out throughout the game:

"At 1:20 AM on November 5th, the game was completed."

A soft light began to envelop each player.

Some people quickly opened the system and found a logout button at the bottom.

"Haha!" Laughter tinged with tears echoed throughout the venue.

X stood silently in place, watching the players leave SAO one by one, the place that had been with them for nearly 3 years.

The scene shifted, and she found herself transported above a cloud. In the far distance, the massive SAO, like a suspended island, was crumbling away.

"Although it's a bit of a regret, it's definitely over, and I've seen what I wanted to see."

"So, you've got your target in sight?"

I don't quite understand Kayaba, but X only cares about the results and doesn't bother to comment on his past.

Taking advantage of this moment, she asked in her mind, "System, am I supposed to leave this world now? After all, the mission is complete."

Although the mission is complete, there are still missions available to you in the real world.

"The real world?"

Side Quest: The Real World.

[Synopsis: Simply wandering around the SAO world doesn't mean you've truly experienced it. Enter reality and save Asuna!]

[Mission Reward: One rollback opportunity.]

"A rollback? Can't Makise create a time machine? If we go back to the past, wouldn't that count as a rollback?"

The system didn't answer. No need to think about it; rewinding and time travel are different.

Since it's a side quest, it's something you can choose to complete or not. Thinking about Asuna still needing to be saved in SAO, he felt he couldn't leave so hastily.

"Let's get into reality."
