[00:49] Shin/N
    One day, "THE NEW GATE"
    became a death game.
[01:00] Shin/N
    It became impossible to log out,
[01:01] Shin/N
    and deaths within the game
    became deaths in real life.
[01:07] Mob 2
    Are you...
[01:09] Mob 2
    Are you the Shin?
[01:17] Shin/N
    In order to end that hopeless game,
    I kept on fighting.
[01:23] Schweid
    Master, you're leaving already?
[01:25] Girart
    If we ever meet again,
    I hope we can have a proper duel.
[01:29] Schnee
    Take care.
[01:32] Shin
    Sure. I'll be back.
[01:42] Shin
    Like a true final boss,
    it's quick despite its size.
[01:45] Shin
    But your head is mine!
[01:50] Shin
    Damn. It dodged it.
[01:55] Shin/Id
    Stay calm. Once I defeat it,
    then all of this...
[01:59] Sign
    Gatekeeper
[01:59] Sign
    Origin
[02:02] Shin
    Its damaged parts are healing?
[02:04] Shin
    Not on my watch!
[02:07] Shin
    Steel Strike!
[02:20] Sign
    Gatekeeper
[02:20] Sign
    Origin
[02:22] Shin
    It's healing again, but...
[02:26] Shin
    Moonlight Blade Dance!
[02:29] Shin
    This ends now!
[02:43] Announce
    Gatekeeper Origin has been defeated.
[02:46] Announce
    Acquired titles "the Critical,"
    "the Achiever," and "the Liberator."
[02:51] Announce
    The dungeon has been cleared.
    Players can now log out.
[02:57] Shin
    It's finally over.
[02:59] Shin
    I'd better check if everyone
    managed to log out.
[03:06] Shin
    They're disappearing.
[03:08] Shin
    Everyone's leaving the game world successfully.

    Goodbye, THE NEW GATE.
[03:31] Shin
    What's going on?
[03:32] Shin
    There shouldn't be any more events.
[03:36] Shin/N
    I thought I had beaten the game.
[03:51] Shin
    Is this the game world?
[03:57] Shin
    No, it's too realistic.
[04:00] Shin
    I know VR technology
    has made massive strides,
[04:03] Shin
    but it shouldn't be this realistic.
[04:05] Shin
    Oh, I know.
[04:07] Shin
    So I can pull up windows.
[04:08] Shin
    Wait, my stats have improved significantly!
[04:12] Shin
    Is it because of the titles I acquired
    by beating the final boss?
[04:15] Shin
    Well, if I beat the game,
    I should be able to log out.

[04:26] Shin
    What about the others?
[04:26] Sign
    You are not connected to the network.
    Page cannot be displayed.
[04:27] Shin
    I can't connect to the network?
[04:30] Shin
    Then the game shouldn't allow me to move.
[04:33] Shin
    Does that mean this is reality?
[04:36] Shin
    I don't get it.
[04:38] Shin
    First a death game, now an isekai trip?
[04:43] Shin
    I'll never get anywhere sticking around here.
[04:47] Shin
    If I can use this item set to my home base...
[04:55] Shin
    All right. Back to my house.
[05:07] Shin
    When was this wall built?
[05:10] Shin
    I saw a castle, too. Is this all one town?
[05:15] Shin
    There it is.
[05:16] Shin
    Home sweet home.
[05:18] Tiera
    Don't make me say it again.
[05:21] Tiera
    My master won't be back for a while.
[05:23] Villain 1
    You're just hiding her, aren't you?
[05:24] Villain 2
    If you refuse to tell us,
    we'll have to use force.
[05:28] Tiera
    Stop. If I go any farther outside...
[05:53] Shin
    I see.
[05:55] Shin
    I can adjust the power of my magic skills.
[05:58] Shin
    Physical attacks impose some strain on me.
[06:01] Shin
    It feels so real.
[06:03] Tiera
    Um, excuse me...
[06:06] Shin
    Uh, I'm ho...me?
[06:09] Sign
    Moon Sanctum
[06:11] Tiera
    Thank you for saving me. I am Tiera Lucent.
[06:15] Shin
    I'm Shin.
[06:17] Tiera
    Shin, is it?
[06:18] Tiera
    Shin, do you know my master?
[06:21] Tiera
    You just said, "I'm home."
[06:23] Shin
    Your master?
[06:24] Tiera
    What are you saying?
[06:26] Tiera
    There isn't anyone who doesn't know acting
    shopkeeper of the Moon Sanctum, Schnee Raizar.
[06:30] Shin
    Schnee Raizar, huh? Schnee...
[06:34] Shin
    Schnee Raizar?!
[06:36] Shin
    Is she a beautiful high elf with waist-length
    silver hair and an incredible body?
[06:43] Shin/Id
    If she's not someone else*
    with the exact same name,
[06:46] Shin/Id
    Schnee is one of my support characters.
[06:49] Shin/Id
    I mean, the Moon Sanctum exists, so...
[06:56] Shin
    Oh, uh, you could say Schnee and I go way back.
[07:01] Shin
    So, where is she now?
[07:03] Tiera
    I can't easily share that information.
[07:05] Tiera
    We only just met, and those guys
    were looking for her, too.
[07:10] Tiera
    But I can at least take a message.
[07:13] Shin
    A message?
[07:14] Tiera
    My job is to look after the store
    and take messages for my master.
[07:18] Tiera
    Each message will cost you 1,000 jules.
[07:21] Shin
    A thousand jules? But I only have jales.
[07:27] Tiera
    Wait a minute. Did you just
    take that out of an item box?
[07:31] Shin
    Yeah. What about it?
[07:33] Tiera
    What about it?
[07:35] Tiera
    Only kings and elders of a limited number
    of species can use those.
[07:40] Tiera
    Not only that, but gold jale coins
    are an item for amplifying magic.
[07:44] Tiera
    They're worth at least ten billion jules.
[07:47] Shin
    Ten billion?
[07:48] Shin/Id
    In the game, jales were
    the smallest form of currency.
[07:51] Tiera
    Seriously, who are you?
[07:54] Shin
    Just an ordinary adventurer.
[07:56] Shin
    Setting-wise... well, my species is high human.
[08:00] Tiera
    High human?
    But the high humans went extinct.
[08:04] Shin
    Extinct? You mean humanity is extinct?
[08:08] Tiera
    Only the high-ranking ones,
     the high humans, went extinct.
[08:12] Tiera
    You just saw some humans earlier.
[08:14] Shin
    Oh, right.
[08:16] Tiera
    There were once only six high humans.
[08:19] Tiera
    They went missing during
    the Dusk of Prosperity 500 years ago.
[08:24] Shin
    The Dusk of Prosperity?
[08:26] Tiera
    You don't even know what that is?
[08:28] Tiera
    It was a major historical event when not only
    high humans but many people vanished.
[08:34] Shin/Id
    A bunch of people vanished? Could it be?
[08:38] Shin/Id
    Tens of thousands of players
    were trapped in the game then.
[08:40] Sign
    Ako
[08:40] Sign
    Tera
[08:41] Shin/Id
    It certainly would be a major event
    if that many people went missing at once.
[08:43] Sign
    Shin
[08:45] Shin/Id
    So the simplest interpretation is...
[08:48] Shin/Id
    This world is 500 years
    after the events of the game?
[08:51] Tiera
    Hey, are you listening?
[08:54] Shin
    Oh, uh, thanks for telling me.
[08:57] Shin
    You can have this.
[08:59] Tiera
    What?
[09:00] Shin
    I look forward to getting to know you.
[09:02] Tiera
    Did you hear what I said earlier?
[09:04] Tiera
    What kind of idiot just gives something
    so valuable to someone?
[09:09] Shin
    This kind.
[09:12] Tiera
    You won't ask for it back?
[09:14] Shin
    Nope.
[09:18] Tiera
    I've dreamed of holding a gold jale coin.
[09:21] Tiera
    They're so shiny and have a beautiful design.
[09:26] Shin
    W-Well, since elves use magic,
    it should be useful to you.
[09:30] Tiera
    Elves?
[09:32] Tiera
    Do I look like an elf to you?
[09:34] Shin
    Yeah, you're very obviously a black-haired,
    golden-eyed, beautiful elf girl.
[09:39] Tiera
    I don't believe it.
[09:40] Tiera
    I even had my master
    cast an illusion spell on me.
[09:44] Shin
    Why would you do that?
[09:46] Tiera
    Because black-haired elves
    are a cursed symbol of misfortune.
[09:50] Shin
    A symbol of misfortune?
[09:53] Tiera
    Yes. This black hair brings misfortune.
[09:57] Tiera
    Monsters began attacking frequently,
    and I was kicked out of my village.
[10:02] Tiera
    My master rescued me then.
[10:06] Tiera
    There's a barrier around this shop,
[10:09] Tiera
    and my master uses
    an illusion spell to hide my identity.
[10:12] Tiera
    I've lived in safety for 100 years.
[10:15] Shin/Id
    I see. They were attacked earlier
    because of that curse.
[10:19] Shin
    Is there any way to remove the curse?
[10:22] Tiera
    Not that we know of,
    though my master is looking into it.
[10:26] Tiera
    But it's fine.
[10:27] Tiera
    Even if I can't leave the barrier,
[10:29] Tiera
    as long as I can live without bothering anyone.
[10:33] Shin/Id
    Still...
[10:35] Shin
    Has your hair always been black?
[10:39] Tiera
    No. It used to be silver.
[10:42] Tiera
    But one day, I was suddenly cursed,
    and it turned black.
[10:45] Shin
    Suddenly?
[10:47] Shin/Id
    A curse that suddenly changes one's hair color.
[10:49] Shin/Id
    Monster attacks. Is that even...
[10:54] Shin
    It is. It is possible!
[10:55] Tiera
    Huh?
[10:56] Shin
    I can't believe I forgot.
[10:58] Shin
    Let's see. Open skill screen, and...
[11:01] Shin
    It should be around here.
[11:03] Tiera
    Um, what are you doing?
[11:05] Shin
    Found it. Analyze.
[11:08] Shin
    I knew it.
[11:08] Sign
    Analyze X
[11:08] Sign
    Cursed Gift
[11:10] Tiera
    Huh? What do you mean?
[11:11] Shin
    You have the cursed title Cursed Gift.
[11:14] Sign
    Analyze X
    Cursed Gift
[11:14] Shin
    It's the reason your hair changed color
    and monsters started attacking you.
[11:19] Shin
    It's a randomly occurring curse.
[11:21] Tiera
    But just identifying the curse won't fix it.
[11:24] Shin
    There is a way to remove your curse.
[11:26] Tiera
    What?
[11:28] Shin
    Here we go.
[11:30] Shin
    Purify.
[11:39] Shin
    Huh?
[11:41] Tiera
    It didn't work?
[11:43] Shin
    No, the Purify worked.
[11:46] Shin
    But only a bit of your hair changed back.
[11:54] Shin
    Tiera. I don't know how to put this...
[11:57] Tiera
    Thank you.
[11:59] Tiera
    Thank you, thank you.
[12:01] Shin
    But...
[12:02] Tiera
    It's fine. This is great. Better than great.
[12:05] Tiera
    I got back my hair
    that I haven't seen in 100 years.
[12:12] Tiera
    I'm sorry I lost my composure.
[12:15] Tiera
    But it's hard to believe
    the curse has really been lifted.
[12:19] Shin
    Then why don't you try exiting the barrier?
[12:22] Tiera
    What?
[12:25] Shin
    You'll be okay.
[12:26] Shin
    If any monsters show up, I'll defeat them.
[12:26] Sign
    Moon Sanctum
[12:29] Tiera
    I don't know about this...
[12:31] Shin
    You've been patiently waiting
    for 100 years, right?
[12:36] Shin
    You'll be okay.
[12:42] Shin
    Okay, let's go.
[13:03] Shin
    Nothing's happening.
[13:04] Tiera
    You're right.
[13:06] Shin
    The curse has been lifted.
[13:09] Tiera
    Seems like it.
[13:14] Tiera
    Hey, Shin.
[13:19] Tiera
    The sky is huge, isn't it?
[13:28] Shin
    Yeah.
[13:30] Sign
    Moon Sanctum
[13:32] Shin
    I'm glad I could be useful.
[13:34] Tiera
    Thank you so much.
[13:36] Tiera
    What are you going to do now, Shin?
[13:38] Tiera
    My master won't be back for a while.
[13:40] Shin
    Then maybe I'll check out the nearby town.
[13:43] Shin/Id
    I need to learn more about this world.
[13:47] Shin/Id
    If her master is the real Schnee,
[13:49] Shin/Id
    it's likely my other
    support characters exist, too.
[13:52] Tiera
    I know.
[13:53] Tiera
    If you're going to Bayrelicht Kingdom,
    you should take this with you.
[13:57] Shin/Id
    Bay...?
[13:58] Shin/Id
    I guess that's the place I passed by earlier.
[14:01] Tiera
    Here. It's a letter of introduction.
[14:03] Tiera
    When you enter the kingdom,
    there's a line to get inspected,
[14:06] Tiera
    but this will allow you to bypass it.
[14:08] Shin
    Thanks, but are you sure you want to give
    this letter to someone you just met today?
[14:14] Tiera
    You lifted my curse, and you seem capable.
[14:17] Tiera
    Besides, you're stupidly good-natured.
[14:20] Shin
    You didn't have to say that last bit.
[14:22] Tiera
    I can't thank you enough.
[14:26] Shin
    What was that?
[14:28] Tiera
    Nothing. It was nothing!
[14:30] Shin
    Well, I should get going.
[14:32] Tiera
    I'll let you know once my master's back.
[14:35] Shin
    Thanks. I appreciate it.
[14:39] Shin
    I can't believe I got to skip that line.
[14:42] Shin
    This letter of introduction sure is something.
[14:44] Beid
    Not only that, but in this kingdom,
[14:46] Beid
    they're like identification papers that
    can get you an audience with the king.
[14:49] Beid
    You'd better not lose that.
[14:51] Shin
    S-Seriously?
[14:58] Beid
    This is the adventurers guild.
[15:00] Beid
    Well, see you around.
[15:02] Shin
    Thanks for the escort.
[15:05] Shin
    If I want to gather information,
    I should start here.
[15:09] Celica
    Welcome to the adventurers guild.
[15:11] Celica
    How can I help you today?
[15:14] Shin
    Oh, uh... I'd like to register as an adventurer.
[15:19] Celica
    Applications are accepted
    at the counter up the stairs to your left.
[15:25] Shin
    Got it.
[15:27] Cilica
    Welcome. Would you like
    to register as an adventurer?
[15:31] Shin
    What? Uh, yes, please.
[15:34] Cilica
    Is something the matter?
[15:35] Shin
    You look just like the woman
    on the first floor.
[15:39] Cilica
    That's my older twin sister Celica.
[15:41] Cilica
    I am Cilica.
[15:42] Shin
    Oh, I see.
[15:43] Cilica
    First, we'll collect your initial fee,
    and then you'll fill out this form.
[15:51] Shin
    I can't believe it takes a whole day
    to create a guild card.
[15:57] Shin/Id
    Copper and iron weapons.
[16:00] Shin/Id
    All their armor is made of leather or iron.
[16:04] Shin/Id
    Their equipment is lower quality
    than it was in the game.
[16:07] Celica
    Thank you for waiting, Shin.
[16:11] Shin
    Celica? Why?
[16:14] Celica
    I help out here when I'm not busy.
[16:17] Shin
    Did you really need to change clothes, though?
[16:20] Shin
    Uh...?
[16:22] Celica
    Please, have some.
[16:24] Shin
    Okay.
[16:29] Shin
    It's good.
[16:31] Celica
    Stare...
[16:33] Shin/Id
    But I can't eat like this.
[16:35] Shin
    Uh, Celica?
[16:37] Celica
    I'm sorry. There's actually something
    I'd like to confirm with you.
[16:41] Shin
    I see. What is that?
[16:46] Celica
    I heard you have a letter of introduction
    from the Moon Sanctum.
[16:49] Shin
    Yeah.
[16:51] Celica
    May I verify its authenticity in another room?
[16:56] Shin
    After I'm done eating, sure.
[16:58] Shin
    I don't really want to meet the guild
    master right after showing up here.
[17:04] Celica
    About that...
[17:05] Celica
    He's actually already here.
[17:11] Barlux
    Hey.
[17:12] Shin/Id
    The weird guy at reception!
[17:16] Barlux
    Nice to meet you.
    I am Barlux Heim, the guild master.
[17:20] Shin
    I'm Shin. Nice to meet you.
[17:23] Barlux
    Shin, let's cut to the case.
[17:25] Barlux
    May I see your Moon Sanctum
    letter of introduction?
[17:28] Shin
    Sure.
[17:30] Barlux
    Let's verify its authenticity.
[17:34] Shin
    Huh?
[17:35] Barlux
    When letters of introduction are placed
    near each other, they resonate and glow.
[17:39] Barlux
    I can attest this is an authentic letter.
[17:41] Shin
    I had no idea.
[17:43] Barlux
    Who gave this to you?
[17:45] Barlux
    What is Schnee? Tiera?
[17:48] Shin
    It was Tiera.
[17:49] Barlux
    Something major must've happened
    if she forgot to explain that to you.
[17:54] Barlux
    Allow me to explain instead.
[17:57] Barlux
    A letter of introduction allows you to enter
    most nations without an inspection.
[18:01] Barlux
    It's accepted by all guilds,
[18:03] Barlux
    and in some nations, like Bayrelicht,
    it even grants you an audience with the king.
[18:07] Barlux
    They're the most trusted
    form of identification.
[18:11] Shin/Id
    Those are some insane benefits.
[18:13] Shin/Id
    Schnee's really made a name for herself.
[18:16] Barlux
    It's an extremely powerful item to have.
[18:19] Barlux
    There are those who try to steal them
    for nefarious purposes.
[18:22] Shin
    I'm sure there are.
[18:24] Barlux
    So allow me to be direct.
[18:26] Barlux
    If you're not confident you can protect
    that letter, you should destroy it here.
[18:33] Shin
    I'll be fine.
[18:35] Shin
    If Tiera gave that to me because she
    trusted me, then I won't let her down.
[18:42] Barlux
    That's what I wanted to hear.
[18:43] Barlux
    As one man recognized by the Moon Sanctum
    to another, let's do our best to get along.
[18:47] Barlux
    I look forward to seeing what you'll achieve.
[18:51] Shin
    Thank you.
[18:53] Barlux
    Now, let's test your skills.
[18:57] Shin
    What?
[19:01] Shin
    Boy, I'm exhausted.
[19:05] Shin
    Today was a rough day.
[19:12] Shin
    I'll try raising my rank tomorrow,
     once I get my guild card.
[19:17] Shin
    When is Schnee coming back?
[19:26] Shin
    Unfortunately, it looks like I didn't
    wake up in the real world.
[19:32] Celica
    Good morning, Shin.
[19:34] Celica
    Did you sleep well?
[19:36] Shin
    Yes. Thanks to you,
    I found a good inn to stay at.
[19:40] Celica
    Oh, you're wearing new clothes.
[19:44] Shin
    These are easier to move in.
[19:46] Shin/Id
    A bottom-ranked adventurer
    shouldn't dress so magnificently.
[19:51] Celica
    Here's your guild card.
[19:54] Sign

[19:54] Sign
    Adventurer Rank
[19:55] Celica
    There are nine adventurer ranks,
    from SS and S to A through G.
[20:01] Celica
    Completing jobs earns points,
    allowing you to rank up.
[20:05] Celica
    You can take jobs up to
    two ranks higher than your own.
[20:09] Shin
    I've already got a job I'd like to do.
[20:12] Celica
    Harvesting hilk grass, I see.
[20:14] Celica
    There's always demand for it as a potion
    ingredient, so there's no time limit.
[20:18] Shin
    Got it.
[20:20] Shin
    Well, I'm off.
[20:22] Celica
    Be careful.
[20:25] Celica
    Barlux recognizes his skill,
    but he isn't the slightest bit imposing.
[20:30] Celica
    What a strange person.
[20:35] Shin
    I've been looking for three hours now.
[20:38] Shin
    Even in the game, harvesting
    hilk grass was a beginner quest.
[20:41] Shin
    I thought it would be easy.
[20:44] Shin
    Well, all the monsters are weak enough
    to be beaten with low-ranking equipment,
[20:48] Shin
    so I'll take my time.
[20:52] Shin
    A monster. But why is it moving like that?
[20:56] Shin
    It should be nearby.
[21:05] Shin
    That's a Skullface Jack.
[21:07] Sign
    Monster
[21:07] Sign
    Skullface Jack
[21:09] Shin
    Level 359. That's strong.
[21:14] Shin
    A wagon.
[21:16] Shin
    It must've looked odd on my map
    because it was on a rampage.
[21:19] (Flashback) Adventurer 1
    Apparently someone attacked
    by a Skullface Jack and killed.
[21:23] (Flashback) Adventurer 2
    I knew them. It's a real shame.
[21:26] Shin
    I have to do something about this.
[21:28] Shin
    I'll start by attacking.
[21:37] Shin
    It's quick.
[21:39] Shin
    And I've never heard of an undead monster
    wielding a light-type sword before.
[21:44] Shin
    It must be a unique monster.
[21:54] Shin
    That wasn't much damage.
[21:57] Shin
    It can only handle one more blow.
[22:00] Shin
    Okay, let's try something.
[22:05] Shin
    Limit Off.
[22:33] Shin
    Look at it go.
[22:35] Shin
    I kind of wanted that sword, too.
[22:47] Shin
    It dropped a gemstone. I guess I'll take it.
[22:51] Shin/Id
    I've more or less figured out
    how strong I am in this world.
[22:55] Shin/Id
    So the game is real here.
[22:59] Shin/Id
    This is starting to get fun.
[23:06] Mob
    What happened?
[23:07] Mob
    Your Highness!
[23:08] Mob
    Is His Majesty all right?
[23:11] Gadras
    Lady Rionne!
[23:22] Gadras
    Wh-What happened here?
