The bar was not very well lit.

The lights flickered.

Tick-tock, tick-tock!

The girl was soaked through, with raindrops constantly dripping down her body.

"Welcome, this is the wine list."

Lin Yan greeted him.

Angel Yan watched quietly as Qi Lin busied herself in the kitchen preparing dinner.

"Or you would like a cup of hot tea."

Lin Yan poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it to the girl. His eyes were calm, but he didn't seem like a wicked person.

The girl hesitated for a moment.

"I...why am I here? I remember being...being...being...captured by the Emperor's dragon...and then...I..."

Why am I here?

Her deep blue eyes were filled with confusion, bewilderment, and sorrow, as memories slowly surfaced. She was Alice Zuberukur.

At the same time, Lin Yan saw a virtual scene.

From: Sword Art Online Underworld

Skill: Divine Magic

Note: Under the influence of the "Secret Art of Integration" at the Axiom Church, he lost his previous memories and became an Integrity Knight serving the High Priest.

Reception Reward: Draw one of the guest's abilities or weapons.

"Warm yourself up first, you look cold."

Lin Yan said softly.

Alice glanced at Lin Yan with some gratitude, then tilted her head back and took a sip of hot tea, which flowed down her throat and into her body.

It brought moisture and warmth.

There is also a refreshing fragrance.

Alice's tense nerves and muscles visibly relaxed a little. She looked around at this unfamiliar world, still somewhat dazed.

Can you tell me where this is?

Alice's golden laurel sword was on her body, straight and long. Not only the scabbard, but also the guard and the hilt were made of gleaming gold. The guard was also engraved with a cross pattern.

Its blade has a more vivid pale yellow color than its scabbard, and it reflects a dazzling brilliance when illuminated by the light of Thorus.

"realword".

A single word made Alice's body tremble slightly.

She nimbly stepped back, the golden osmanthus sword in her hand already drawn, its blade gleaming coldly, its sharpness intimidating.

Angel Yan, on the other hand, remained calm.

Qi Lin had already raised her sniper rifle. The jet-black gunslinger and her dark alloy armor made her look capable and dashing.

"lay down your weapon!"

"3..."

"2..."

"Qilin."

Lin Yan knew that Qi Lin would definitely shoot. To ensure Lin Yan's safety, she would not overlook any suspicious points or potential dangers, especially between people who were facing each other with swords drawn. And her sniper rifle was a god-slaying weapon; the person in front of her was probably in great danger.

Although those who know Lin Yan do not believe that anyone or any weapon in this world can harm this terrifying man whose strength is unfathomable.

"Alice Ziberluku".

Alice was about to make a move, but stopped. How did she know her name? Her azure eyes were filled with horror.

"Sit down and let's talk slowly, don't be nervous."

Lin Yan gestured.

Qilin reluctantly went to prepare dinner, while Alice sat down warily, her hand still gripping the hilt of her sword.

Asuna logged into Underworld using the account "Creation Goddess Stasia" and found Alice and Kirito.

however--

Alice was caught off guard during the UW battle and was ambushed and taken away by Gabriel, who was logged into a super account.

"Although I mentioned 'realword,' it is not actually the realword of the bronze man and Asuna, but a parallel world that has some similarities to their world."

Alice stared at the young man, speechless.

Sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.

His handsome face remained so calm that Alice sensed no malice from him.

"I need to get back quickly. Do you know how I can return to the Underworld?" Alice asked anxiously.

She leaned down to ask.

Those clear eyes were filled with a pitiful pain. No matter how indifferent a person is, they could not ignore it.

Even the coldest heart can be melted.

The voice was like the warbling of a nightingale, each note touching the heart.

"I'm willing to pay any price to get me back to the Underworld."

"When your time comes, you will naturally leave."

Lin Yan had already noticed the progress bar next to Alice, which showed 10%.

Perhaps when the progress bar reaches 100%, Alice will be able to return to the Underworld.

"Time's up? How much longer? I really don't have time to waste here. I must leave as soon as possible. The world I live in is facing a major crisis..."

Alice's pretty face turned deathly pale.

She was kidnapped by the emperor, but someone will surely come to rescue her. However, if she encounters the dark god Bekuda, she will face great danger.

Moreover, Alice's greatest concern is for Kirito, who has lost his speech and emotions.

Her delicate lips were deathly pale.

Alice gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth.

I was extremely anxious.

"You must believe in Asuna, believe in those around you, they will pierce the dark night sky of the Underworld and bring light and hope."

"Why do you know so much, or... are you a prophet? Can you tell me what will happen next?"

Alice's deep blue eyes were filled with anticipation.

More than her past memories, Alice is most concerned about whether the people she cares about in the Underworld can escape their fate.

"I don't know much."

Lin Yan also took a sip of hot tea.

"Project Alicization—the artificial creation of a quantum network of light, believed to be the human soul, known as the Fluctlight. Underworld is a sandbox-like virtual space where artificial intelligence will be developed to a level suitable for military use. Underworld is divided into two worlds: the Human Realm, inhabited by humans, and the Dark Realm, inhabited by the Dark Empire, a subhuman race. The Human Realm is ruled by the Axiom Church, whose high priest is Administrator. Led by Seijiro Kikuoka, the people of RATH send Kirito into this world in order to find a reason why the artificial Fluctlight cannot violate the Taboo Index."

For Lin Yan...

Sword Art Online, among others, is just a two-dimensional anime work.

There is no such thing as a true realwrold or underwrold.

"Yaoguang, the Mandate of Heaven".

Alice murmured to herself in a daze.

"So our world was just a created... fake world." Alice's voice was tinged with bitterness.

She was even so downcast.

"So, you're not planning to go back and save them?" Lin Yan asked in return.

"No,"

Alice's conditioned rebuttal.

"It seems you already have the answer in your heart." Lin Yan glanced at the door; it seemed there wouldn't be any other guests.

Gulu.

Alice's stomach growled.

Her face flushed instantly; she felt embarrassed and ashamed to have made such an unsightly appearance in front of a stranger.

"Food is essential for life, and hunger is normal. Come and have dinner with us."

Lin Yan invited him.

restaurant.

Angel Yan remained indifferent, but when Alice looked directly at this stunningly beautiful woman, she was completely shocked.

Whether it's her slender figure, her unparalleled beauty, or the noble aura she exudes.

They are all so captivating that it's impossible to look away.

After the meal, Alice's complexion improved slightly, but she remained somewhat flustered and at a loss.

“It’s late, and you’re unfamiliar with this place. There’s a guest room upstairs, so you can stay here for now,” Lin Yan said.

Since they are guests, and it's related to the mission.

Of course, we can't just sit idly by.

Qi Lin, who was carrying plates to the kitchen, suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you asking her to stay overnight?"

Have a nice night.

Lin Yan smiled slightly and said that once he made a decision, he wouldn't easily change it. Qi Lin watched Alice's back and gently bit her cherry lips. On the contrary, Angel Yan remained calm about the matter, even showing a very indifferent attitude.

Alice was filled with curiosity about everything around her.

This was a room decorated in a simple yet elegant style. She opened the window and smelled a faint fragrance, as subtle as the night air, yet refreshing and soothing.

White rose bushes grew along the wall, their slender branches and leaves stretching out and embracing each other.

Clusters upon clusters form their own distinct groups; though the flowers are not large, they bloom profusely, harmoniously intertwining with the branches and jade-like leaves.

Like a silent poem, a three-dimensional painting, it surpasses any man-made sculpture.

This softened Alice's gaze.

Such beautiful flowers.

A sense of poignant beauty arises spontaneously.

In the history of civilization, the white rose is the national flower of Romania, symbolizing the Romanian people's passion, purity, sincerity, nobility, simplicity, and abundance.

at the same time.

Lin Yan also looked out the window, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

A voice echoed in my mind.
