    “Hey, Nami-san. Do you have any plans for tomorrow?” Soujiro didn’t look like it, but he had a plan for her birthday. He and everyone else in the West Wind Brigade were in it. The samurai’s pretentious obliviousness was the key to success this time.

     Half an hour had passed since Soujiro accidentally slept while leaning on Nami’s shoulder. He was so tired when he entered the guild that he wasn’t even aware of the actions that he did while in the establishment, including falling asleep on his friend’s shoulder.

     As he realized what he had done, he quickly sat up. Nami’s shoulder must feel sore from his head leaning on it. “A-Ah! Nami-san! I’m so sorry! I didn’t know I fell asleep on you!” he exclaimed nervously.

     Scurries over to the Log Horizon guild house and to Shiroe’s room. “Shiro-senpai!” He then handed a small paper with a smile on his face that contained quite a rare thing he obtained from one of his... adventures. “Happy birthday! I got you something, though I don’t know if it’d be of good use to you.”

     Since Soujiro still didn’t know what present to get for Shiroe’s birthday, he decided to get help instead. “Nami-san! Nami-san!” called the excitable samurai.

     Soujiro holds up a scorecard with 01 point, but Nazuna flipped it and showed a 10, which was the real actual score.

vampiireism​

          It was rare for Soujiro to be alone, since he was usually accompanied by his loyal guild members. He was actually wandering about to watch over them from the shadows. Surprises were endless in the city of Akihabara. 

          Just like the surprise in the form of a person groaning even though the day was supposedly peaceful and sunny. The samurai felt like there was something odd about this particular fellow, since there was nothing wrong with him-- or more like, he wasn’t suffering from any status ailments caused from a battle.

          Without hesitation, the guild master approached the other male. Checking his stats and player info, he found out that the adventurer’s name was Skyleur. Soujiro couldn’t help wonder if this could be a new disease in the world of Elder Tale that even the stats couldn’t decipher. He sure hoped it wasn’t.

          “What’s wrong?” he asked with a tilt of his head. And he decided to go straight to the chase. “You’re alright, but look like you aren’t.”

          Just when things began to make sense in the world of Elder Tale, the entire universe changed in the blink of an eye. And not even a single soul noticed. It seemed like a blackout, with everything fading to black, but the light coming back just as quickly. 

          What could be suspected as someone trying to hack into the game, or the hopeful feeling that someone had tried to do something about the freedom of players trapped in the game-- was actually an even more vast expansion of the game. It managed to cross boundaries that no one imagined was even possible.

          Merging two fictional fantasies together to become one reality.

          Though no one knew about this yet, because it felt like nothing had changed. But the modifications would be noticed soon enough. 

          And the veteran player of Elder Tale, Soujiro Seta, would be one of the first to notice these so-called changes as he woke up, feeling like he was slowly resurfacing from being down under for too long. 

          It was weird for him to wake up sitting on a bench in a town that was definitely not Akihabara. It was waking up to a whole new different world. The first thought that popped into his mind was, Where are the others? Where are my girls? And of course, he thought about his guild members. His heart raced from nervousness, but as soon as he found out he could still use Elder Tale’s contact features, he internally sighed in relief.

          This hardly any familiar place he visited in the game even before he became trapped inside it. This was completely and utterly new. 

          So what to do first in an unfamiliar environment? Explore and talk to people, of course!

          As he stood up and walked a little, he could already see a huge cathedral in the distance. Did this have something to do with the cathedral where adventurers are revived? he thought. Since it was the place that stood out the most, he went inside. And it was bigger than he imagined. “Wow, this is so cool!” he said a little too loudly, earning awkward stares from what he assumed as People of the Land.
