[Finally, let me show you the proof that this world is now your only reality. Inside your inventory, I've prepared a little gift for everyone. Please, take a look.]

Asuna's hand moved almost reflexively, following his instructions, as if guided by an unseen force. Around her, the other play...

MT - 36 Death Game

Kirito's initially tense expression gradually softened. He had seen this kind of cloak before. It was the attire worn by the game masters employed by Argus during the closed beta test. Back then, male GMs always took the form of elderly wizards with long, flowing beards, while the female GMs were...

MT - 35 Beginning

Roy paid no mind to the splattered fluids staining his clothes. Without hesitation, he drove his sword straight down, the blade piercing clean through the writhing creature beneath him.

Even so, the man-eating plant refused to yield. Its HP was annoyingly substantial. Pressing harder with h...

MT - 34 Aura

The path led through a mountain pass, and at its midpoint lay the domain of the man-eating plants.

Roy couldn't help but recall this location vividly, mostly because Asuna had begrudgingly complained about his antics here before.

For beginners, man-eating plants were a formidable chal...

MT - 33 Battle

So, this really was a complete transformation—turning him from a mass of data into a physical entity.

Being a player had its perks, no doubt. Pain sensitivity was reduced to a minimum, and even with just a sliver of HP left, one could still stand and fight back.

But in reality?

MT - 32 Reality

After an intense battle, the four of them, as expected, brought the boss down.

Time flowed like water, the days blending into each other.

Days without any real action passed in a blur, and before anyone realized it, two months had gone by.

Three months of beta testing had given ...

MT - 31 Clearing the Stage

Kirito felt utterly drained. With a sigh, he cast a glance at Roy, whose smug grin stretched from ear to ear. Kirito was seriously starting to suspect that the boy's sole purpose in life was to mess with him.

Nearby, Asuna and Misumi were deep in conversation, catching up on school-related ...

MT - 30 Mito

The thought of those grueling study sessions with Roy brought a pang of despair to Asuna.

Roy had a dark sense of humor—something she'd come to fully understand after spending so much time with him.

On the surface, he seemed cheerful, almost radiant. And yes, he was undeniably hands...

MT - 29 Sword God

The journey through the forest was anything but smooth. Along the way, there were countless insects whose names Roy couldn't even guess.

Perhaps out of a sense of humanity—or maybe game design aesthetics—the arthropods weren't grotesque but rather leaned toward a cute, almost cartoonish...

MT - 28 Sword Skills

Roy began explaining the fundamentals of sword skills to Asuna, carefully detailing their mechanics and the nuances of their execution. With his natural talent as a teacher and Asuna's sharp learning ability, she quickly grasped the basics.

However, adjusting to the game itself was another ...

MT - 27 Beta Test

Kirito had a reason to be somewhat self-conscious—after all, he was only 14 years old in reality. His youthful, boyish face leaned heavily toward the "baby-faced" spectrum. While his original character design leaned into this softness so much that it became androgynous, his in-game appearance m...

MT - 26 SAO

Once the beef had thawed completely, Roy poured a spoonful of oil into the pan. As the oil began to sizzle, he tossed in slices of ginger and hot peppers. Instantly, a sharp, tantalizing aroma filled the air.

Next, he added the beef, turning the heat down low to let it simmer gently. The ri...

MT - 25 Kirigaya

As Roy glanced at the clock, he realized it was almost noon. Deciding to head home for lunch, he turned to Asuna and announced the end of their lesson for the day.

Still deep in thought, Asuna casually asked, "Are you coming back this afternoon?"

Roy flashed her a smile. "Weren't you ...

MT - 24 The Test

For the first time, Kyouko took a closer look at the boy in front of her. His golden hair and striking amber eyes lent him an air of undeniable authority—an unusual and almost regal presence.

Though Roy's youthful face still carried a trace of boyishness, anyone who met his gaze would ins...

MT - 23 The Private Tutor

So the goal is to get you out of cram school?

Alright, Asuna. I've got you figured out. This is who you really are.

Roy Kirigaya's lips twitched slightly. Still, he reminded himself that kids say the darndest things, and it wasn't worth getting annoyed over such triv...

MT - 22 Asuna

Roy wasn't someone who confused priorities, but having multiple exploits was like carrying multiple safety nets.

Besides, there wasn't much else to do with his spare time.

He couldn't just spend all day stuck at home gaming, could he?

Starting with C programming, he moved on to ...

MT - 21 New Beginning

Rudeus was utterly stunned. If the magic unleashed by Roxy was akin to a natural disaster, then what Roy had just performed was nothing short of an apocalypse.

He couldn't fathom the destruction such magic could bring if cast in a densely populated area like the royal capital.

Sylphy'...

MT - 20 Saint Magic

"Now, it's your turn, Roy." Roxy said with a gentle smile, gazing down at the boy who stood a full head shorter than her.

Roy was silent for a moment before speaking. "If I say I can't do it… would you stay?"

Mastering this spell would mark the end of Roxy's time here.

Though ...

MT - 19 The Final Lesson

Mana is undeniably the key factor that determines a magician's potential. Despite her remarkable skill, Roxy could only reach the level of a Saint Magician, limited by her mana reserves. Facing two geniuses and one prodigy had also left her with an unshakable sense of inferiority.

What she ...

MT - 18 Past

Roy no longer concerned himself with his Fool self in the Sword Art Online world. He had lost faith in that version of himself. Now, he could only rely on his own abilities.

He, Roy Greyrat, aspired to become a eminence in shadow—a figure moving unseen yet shaping events.

B...

MT - 17 Seed

"Roxy-sensei, aren't you afraid of this?" Roy asked, tilting his head with a curious expression.

Roxy squinted her vibrant eyes, her face slipping into a bored look. "What's there to fear? If you really intended to use it on me, you'd have done so ages ago."

She wasn't wrong. The two ...

MT - 16 Gift

Night had fallen. The quiet of the evening was broken only by the faint rustle of fabric as Roxy carefully packed her belongings. It was clear—she would soon leave this place and continue her journey.

Roy stood to the side, watching her slender frame, so small and delicate. He didn't want...

MT - 15 Magic Seed

In summary, Roxy was an unlucky yet kind-hearted individual.

And it was precisely this contrast that made Roy fond of the slightly clumsy girl. 

A gentle breeze swept through her azure hair, strands of it cascading loosely down to her waist. Roxy walked along the narrow dirt path...

MT - 14 Daily Life

As expected, Roy found himself thoroughly defeated in their sparring session. Rubbing his sore arm where Paul's blows had landed, he winced. "You're way too harsh, you know that?"

"What's harsh about it? Boys need to be tempered through hardship!" Paul replied nonchalantly.

Roy scowle...

MT - 13 Useless AI

After finishing her morning routine and a quick breakfast, Roxy took a deep breath by the doorway. Mornings were her domain to manage, and today, Sylphy had arrived early.

The adorable, innocent little girl had few friends in the village. Thankfully, Roy had discovered her plight early—ot...

MT - 12 I Wanna Be the Guy

Sitting on his bed, Roy let out a long sigh before shifting his perspective to the version of himself inhabiting the Sword Art Online world.

At that moment, Roy Kirigaya—a part of his fragmented soul—was fully immersed in playing a computer game. His fingers moved nimbly a...

MT - 11 Genius

This was an utterly ordinary world. Or, to be precise, a thoroughly mundane one. In this world, bustling cities thrived with the chatter and activity of people immersed in their daily lives. Streets teemed with cars, their steady flow forming the rhythmic pulse of urban existence.

People he...

MT - 10 SAO

Could a six-year-old really share a room with Roxy?

Rudeus silently scoffed, mocking his older brother Roy for his audacity. It was clear now, Roy had been scheming all along, a wolf in sheep's clothing. Just as he suspected, anyone sharing the same bloodline was bound to share the same mis...

MT - 9 Bro!

Under her stunned gaze, every single one of them successfully cast the Water Ball spell on their first try.

Roxy fell silent. She was deep in thought.

Roxy was shaken.

Letting out a sigh, the helpless expression on her face turned into a wry smile. She found it hard to believe t...

MT - 8 Roxy

Another two years passed, and Roy had successfully set Rudeus up with his first wife—Sylphiette.

Bringing the shy Sylphy into the house and leaving her in Rudeus's care, Roy silently mused, You've got one already, so no being greedy now.

With his matchmaking duties temporar...
