Synopsis
[edit]Plot
[edit]The story initially focuses around protagonist Erin Solstice being spontaneously transported from Earth to a fantasy world with no idea how or why. Her survival instincts and quite a bit of luck finds her taking over an abandoned inn in the wilderness, refurbishing the building as the Wandering Inn. As she forages for food and supplies, she starts to discover new races, new monsters, and a new system of how intelligent life works through a leveling class and skill system. Erin quickly finds that monsters and magic are an accepted part of this world, as well as game-like classes, skills, and magic. Over the course of Erin's establishing the Wandering Inn, she gains the class [Innkeeper].
A second protagonist, Ryoka Griffin, is introduced later in the story. She has a different viewpoint and experience of the world than Erin does, and has to contend with her own share of adaptation to this new world. It is soon revealed that she and Erin are in fact only a few inter-dimensional travelers among many and that these events are affecting entire nations as ordinary people become adventurers and start creating waves wherever they appear.
Plot
[edit]The day of the battle, Wade uses a previously deployed booby trap to bring down the barricade, and a massive fight among avatars ensues. Parzival, Art3mis, Aech and Shoto use their mechas to fight Sorrento's Mechagodzilla Kiryu, though Parzival has to use his Ultraman artifact to defeat and kill Sorrento's mecha and avatar. IOI use a doomsday device artifact called the Cataclyst to destroy the castle and all avatars in the entire sector. Parzival survives because having the Pac-Man quarter granted him an extra life. As he enters the Crystal Gate, he announces that if he wins the final challenge, he will share his fortune with the three of his friends. He plays Tempest, role-plays King Arthur and various other characters in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and retrieves the Easter egg in Adventure. His victory grants him control of the OASIS. Sorrento is arrested for the murder of Daito and conspiring to kill Wade and the others. Back in Oregon, Wade and Art3mis, whose actual name is Samantha, meet in person and rekindle their relationship with a kiss.
