Perhaps, in the near future, he will also leave the world of Sword Art Online.
Whether it's SAO or the real world of Sword Art Online, it's all the same to Lin Yan—it's all another world.
"I don't care even if we're not from the same country."
Asuna said.
Lin Yan thought with a touch of self-mockery, "It's not just a different country, it's a completely different dimension, a completely different space."
"right?"
Asuna didn't get an answer from Lin Yan, and she was actually a little flustered inside, but she maintained a calm demeanor.
Asuna's light brown eyes glistened with tears, and she pressed her lips tightly together.
"Ah."
Lin Yan finally nodded.
Even if it's a lie, it's a white lie.
If conquering SAO means the end of the story, then Asuna would surely understand his abrupt departure.
"I will protect you too."
Asuna said firmly.
She is no longer the Asuna she once was; she is a strong Asuna, an Asuna who can protect Lin Yan.
Protection requires not only force, but also a heart.
"Actually, I didn't buy this SAO game. I played it secretly. Luckily I played it secretly, otherwise I wouldn't have met you, Lin Yan."
Asuna is probably the only truly unique character in the entire SAO.
Everyone harbors some resentment, wondering why they were so unlucky as to play such a bloody and brutal game.
If they hadn't played this game, they might be in school or at work now, living a quiet life.
But because of this game, everything was shattered.
"Lin Yan, can we leave the front line for a while?"
Asuna suddenly said.
"From the moment I met you, you have been constantly working on your strategy, and it is thanks to you that the strategy has achieved such success."
she said.
Lin Yan didn't actually speed up the SAO process; these were all part of their fate.
"I'm probably a little tired and want to rest for a while."
Asuna's eyes held a hint of guilt as she softly said, "You don't think I'm being selfish, do you?"
"Don't we still have our little cabin?"
Lin Yan reminded him.
Asuna had also thought of that little cabin. She hadn't been there since she bought it, and she wanted to live a quiet life there.
Working nine to five every day, going out to play during the day, and going home with Lin Yan at night—just thinking about it makes me feel so happy.
"Can you really come with me?"
Asuna was overjoyed.
In fact, Lin Yan didn't care about the progress of the strategy at all, while Asuna really needed to rest, as she was suffering internally.
A constant stream of conflicting thoughts.
And many other things as well.
"Well, really."
Lin Yan smiled and nodded, gently stroking Asuna's hair. "I'll go there with you."
This sentence is the most precious to Asuna.
A ray of warm sunshine shone into Asuna's heart, bringing her warmth and illuminating her path forward.

In the SAO system, all player relationships are divided into four categories.
The first type is unrelated people; the second type is friends; the third type is guildmates.
Besides that, there's teaming up.
So far, Lin Yan and Asuna's relationship has alternated between the second and fourth types, and Asuna's proposal to temporarily withdraw from the front lines this time actually stems from a small wish.
That is to break the current relationship.
The next morning.
Lin Yan shared this news with one person, Xing.
Xing has always been a kind girl with a touch of fragility and timidity, making people want to protect her.
Lin Yan gave Xing the stable life she had always wanted.
She was even more enamored with Lin Yan.
"for how long……"
Fortunately, he asked, somewhat unhappily.
She had been longing for Lin Yan's return, but for so long, Lin Yan had been with Asuna, sometimes disappearing for ten days at most and sometimes for several days at least.
And now——
Lin Yan is leaving again.
She pouted.
"Thank you for taking care of the shop. I'll bring you a gift later." Lin Yan smiled gently at Xing.
This smile made Xing Wei pause slightly.
Her frustration and resentment seemed to vanish in an instant.
For the sake of that smile, even if one is weak and timid at heart, one will become strong.
"What hardship do I have? Anyway, I get a salary, and those other people are just envious. I don't know why, but many female players have asked you to join the shop. It's just that, apart from me, all the other players in the shop are male."
Xing smiled and said.
"As for the gift, I'll accept it and wait for you to come back."
"okay."
After Lin Yan left, he reunited with Asuna.
"The thought of going back to that little log cabin makes me so happy," Asuna said, unable to hide her joy.
The main street on the twenty-second floor is Gaolar.
It can be described as a very small village.
The twenty-second floor has a very large area; in terms of diameter, it should be more than eight kilometers.
Evergreen forests and countless lakes scattered throughout the land occupy most of the area, with a large lake in the center. The main town, "Golaar" village, lies on the south bank, while the labyrinthine area is on the north bank. The rest of the land is covered with beautiful coniferous forests. It's more like a small village than a town.
The boundary separating the inside and outside of the village was a wooden fence only one and a half meters high, and all the buildings were made of wood. Even the transfer gate in the center of the village was made of polished logs—it was truly thorough.
"Lakes outside Cora Road" is the largest lake on this level.
There are large lakes with very high fishing difficulty, and there is a lake master. The reward for defeating him is an extremely rare silver fishing rod.
Another characteristic is that this floor is one of the least populated floors in Aincrad.
Very few players would choose to live on this floor.
"finally reached."
Asuna looked at the little wooden house, which Lin Yan had bought at great expense back then.
I never imagined that such a remote place would be so valuable.
"The first time I came here, I..."

"I really like it here. It may be small, but it has everything I need. This is the kind of place where I can live comfortably."
Lin Yan opened the door and sighed.
Asuna was overjoyed.
After entering the non-Party building area, she opened the south-facing window, and sunlight streamed in, making the cabin in the woods seem like a pearl embedded in the night.
"The air here is fresher than elsewhere, and the scenery is even more beautiful."
Asuna's smile blossomed.
It was even brighter than the outdoor sunlight.
Lin Yan knew he had made the right decision; it had been a long time since he had seen Asuna with such a contented smile.
Although Lin Yan had protected her in the past, Asuna was always a soft-hearted girl, and she would feel depressed whenever she saw others in danger or dying.
This is her inner kindness.
however--
It's different here.
Asuna can temporarily put down the heavy burden on her shoulders.
This cabin is located near the outskirts of Aincrad, an area dotted with large lakes. The dense forests are the most beautiful part of the scenery.
The sky is high enough for birds to fly freely, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap freely.
In SAO, all the players are eager to leave this deadly game; their lives have long since lost the sky and the sea.
They also lost their freedom.
Asuna was no different.
Seeing such a magnificent view at this moment fills me with immense excitement.
"This is the closest point to the outer perimeter. We might actually fall off once we get to the outer perimeter."
Lin Yan said jokingly.
Asuna looked at Lin Yan shyly; what she wanted was a different kind of relationship. A fifth kind of relationship, in addition to the other four.
--marry!
SAO also has a marriage system, and in fact, many games have this kind of system.
Of course, marriage in SAO.
You can have nothing at all.
Whether it's a marriage proposal, a wedding ring, or a wedding room.
It's just a simple invitation process, not fundamentally different from forming a team. The only difference is that after marriage, all information and items are shared between the two.
"Lin Yan, let's go to the lake."
"it is good."
Lin Yan offered no further objections; he decided to let Asuna have her way. There were so many girls trapped in SAO, living in constant fear and exhaustion, their lives hanging in the balance.
But Asuna is Asuna.
She is a one-of-a-kind girl.
Looking at the lake from afar was so alluring, but getting closer revealed its magnificent and beautiful expanse, stretching as far as the eye could see.
This lake is like a gentle eye.
A gentle breeze was blowing.
