Looking at the blue sky with white clouds, Tanaka still couldn't believe it, that he was really alive. Well, he still doubting that the sky is fake like it was in SAO.

"I think I'm having trust issues"

Tanaka murmured as he sighed. He was now sitting in front of his family shop and was waiting, just resting.

It has been a month since they got out of SAO. At first Tanaka felt very weak that it irritated him so much. He got too used to his powerful body in the game. Anyway, the first thing they did to Tanaka when he woke up is do a lot of check-ups in his body.

According to them, 2 years have passed ever since they were stuck in the game. Well, Tanaka doubted that since he died and returned a lot of times in the game, if he compared it to others, maybe he was there a decade or two?

Anyway, It seemed like he woke up a few hours later than the others. So many doctors came to check him up, Tanaka also discovered more about himself. He was 17 years old, 15 when he was stuck in the game.

After they made some more check ups and making sure he was okay, there are some people who came. They look like government official and asked him some questions, such as his in game name, and what happened.

Tanaka answered them all, 'truthfully' his in game name is 'Iceinmyveins', the guild master of Iceforge Guild, seems like it surprised the officials a lot when they heard him, it seemed like they already got a lot information from the other players and they regarded Tanaka as one of the heroes in Aincrad.

Tanaka sighed in relief that he acted smart, not telling Madara as his character or else, these people might even freak out. Anyway, because of his achievements in the game, they rewarded him a lot of money, but Tanaka didn't immediately take it and asked them to give it to the other players who needed it more.

Because of that, they had a good impression of Tanaka and called him a genuine hero. Well, that was what Tanaka wanted, and he is also sincere in helping the other players.

After that, Tanaka was put into rehabilitation for 2 weeks, he recovered faster than the others, also memories also started merging with him about his life. Then one thing more is that Tanaka discovered his appearance and family. These things were the ones that shocked him.

First is that his family name is still Ryuuji but the members are different, first, his little brother, Wakana Gojo, or was it supposed to be, but his name is Wakana Ryuuji, well, it sounded quite fitting so Tanaka approved but first.

Wakana Gojo is from my Dress Up Darling Anime,this made Tanaka a little confused, is he in a mixed anime world or something? well, he hopes there is no DxD shit in this world or even HOTD, he just wants to live a normal life.

Well, anyway, Tanaka is the oldest among the siblings in the family. Their grandfather is Kaoru Ryuuji, he is an old man who makes Hina Dolls, he was a loving grandfather and took care of Tanaka when he was stuck in the game.

Tanaka's parents are long gone, so his grandfather was the one took care of him and Wakana. There is also their cousin Miori, who takes care of them.

After the rehabilitation, Tanaka could go back to their home and as his return, they celebrated for it. Tanaka, of course, enjoyed the moment. Unfortunately, he couldn't touch the sake yet because he was still 17.

'Should I have delayed it to 3 years?'

Tanaka maliciously thought, but oh well, it already happened so he couldn't do anything. Anyway, he sneaked a drink from time to time when no one is looking.

Tanaka is very close to his shy little brother, Wakana. He is a reserved guy and Tanaka liked to tease this guy a lot. He also enjoys making Hina Dolls like their grandfather, and Tanaka respected that. Tanaka and Wakana talked a lot.

Tanaka even talked about his achievements inside the game despite being warmed that it was confidential. Well, not like Tanaka ever listened to the rules.

As for his appearance, he looked like Gin from Gintama, except that he has black hair and black eyes and more handsome, he is also fairly tall and not that muscles since he just got out of rehabilitation.

Well, it has been a few days ever since then and now he was resting. He was already bored. He can't appreciate life anymore, which made him sigh.

"I guess I'll gather everyone to relieve my boredom"

Tanaka took out his phone and messaged the others he knew. Mostly, it was the dominant gang of SAO. Tanaka messaged everyone of them to meet in the Bar of Agil, real name, Andrew Gilbert Mills, one heck of a long name if he says so but anyway.

After messaging everyone, they immediately replied, even the moonlit black cats are part of the gathering. Then there was Kirito who said he couldn't go. He will go visit Asuna, he said. Tanaka also got curious and made the meeting move in the afternoon. He will join Kirito in visiting Asuna.

Tanaka changed his clothes wearing a proper one and then rode his car, it was not an overly expensive one, just a limited edition Bugatti given to him by a father of a very rich member of the Iceforge Guild as a thanks for taking care of his child.

Tanaka couldn't refuse, so he accepted it. There are more rich players who have given him a lot of things. The most expensive thing he got is a plot of land and a mansion. Tanaka suddenly became rich because of that.

Well, anyway, Tanaka drove the car towards Kirito's house, who was already waiting outside. Kirito had his own motorcycle but since they were going together, he will go with Tanaka's' car.

"Yo!"

Tanaka greeted.

"Its good to see you again Tanaka-san"

Kirito greeted back. Other than him, no one else knew about the other identity of Tanaka, so he was very respectful to him.

"Get in, let's go, I know you can't wait to see your darling

Kirito blushed when he heard that, then entered the car.

Tanaka put on his sunglasses and drove off towards the hospital that takes Asuna in, yes, Asuna still haven't woke up, Tanaka knew about this and the answer can be found in ALO, he can let her go easily but before he do that, he wants to beat up a creepy guy.

Arriving at the hospital, Tanaka and Kirito entered the ward of Asuna and there they saw Asuna along with a guy who is father of Asuna, Shouzo Yuuki.

"Oh, welcome Kirito and ..."

Shouzo froze when he saw Tanaka, then he smiled awkwardly.

"Tanaka too, welcome, thank you for visiting my daughter"

"Haha, its nothing Shouzo-san, Asuna is our friend so its normal to visit her"

Tanaka laughed loudly, clearly. These two had some history as Shouzo stepped back when he saw Tanaka.

"Okay,"

Shouzo then just stood quietly on the side while looking at Kirito giving Asuna flowers on her vase while Tanaka just sat on a nearby chair without care and took out his phone then started watching videos on his phone loudly.

Kirito looked at Shouzo with apologizing look and Shouzo just waving his hand saying its okay, Tanaka is a wild? free? bold? guy.

A few minutes later, footsteps could be heard.

"President"

A person entered inside, he was wearing a blue suit wearing glasses and his hair brushed up, Shouzo then introduced the guy as Sugou-kun, a son of a friend of his, he looked very respectful, Kirito also introduced himself back and Sugou got excited and knew Kirito is one of the heroes in Sao especially in the fight against Heathcliff.

Shouzo, who wasn't able to introduce Tanaka, glanced at him and saw he didn't seem to care so Shouzo said nothing.

They talked for a while until Shouzo left, but before he left, he suddenly noticed Tanaka being quiet, as if he was waiting for something. Shouzo decided to not leave immediately and just hide near the door.

Sugou who didn't notice the existence of Tanaka started his talk with Kirito, especially the one where he creepily started touching Asuna's hair and started talking about things. Tanaka got so creeped out that he immediately stood up and approached Sugou.

"Huh? who?"

*Bam!

A powerful punch landed on Sugou's face.

"Ah, I really hate creeps. I killed a few in Aincrad if I remember"

Tanaka smiled as he stared at Sugou who fell on the ground clutching his bleeding nose as he looked at Tanaka in disbelief.

"How dare you punch me!? don't you know who I am!?"

Sugou yelled.

"Oh, I know who you are. You're a creep, well, whatever, enjoy whatever you have today, you will lose everything by tomorrow. Now, get the fuck out!"

Tanaka didn't hold back and kicked the guy on the stomach, then throwing him out of the room. This shocked many people, even Shouzo, but he did nothing. He just called some people to help Sugou.

"He did it again, sigh"

Shouzo shook his head. This happens when there is someone Tanaka didn't like, and no one can stop him because he had so much backing behind him. Even Shouzo can't do anything, even if Sugou tells his father.

Tanaka was fuming in anger as he sat back on his seat, then looked at Kirito.

"Fuck you, you are so pathetic to let a guy do that to someone you love, you might as well cut your dick off and fuck off, tch"

Tanaka clicked his tongue as he looked away from Kirito. Maybe because of not defeating the 100th floor boss, Tanama has become irritated a lot, and he became a little violent, but anyway, those who were only terrible were the ones beaten up.

Kirito only lowered his head as he couldn't say anything. He was in the wrong in this one.

They then stayed with Asuna for a while before finally leaving and going to the bar where the party will be held.

Arriving at the bar, there was a sign saying it was closed. Tanaka ignored the sign and opened the door.

Inside, the others were already present: Klein, Liz, and the others. They all greeted Tanaka when they saw him. Kirito also arrived, but he looks very down so they didn't know what to do and asked Tanaka.

Tanaka didn't tell them about what happened and just shrugged it off, anyway, there is a reason he called everyone here.

"Anyway, the reason I called you all here is that I will start a guild... A Gaming Workshop I mean"

Everyone was surprised when they heard it. Doesn't that mean the Iceforge Guild will continue?

"Hehe, yes, Iceforge Guild will become the strongest, and so I want you all to join me once again, I will take good care of you"

Tanaka confidently said, not everyone here is part of the guild but they all agreed to join Tanaka, with that, Tanaka decided to call his 'money banks' ahem, he meant sponsors.

Those guys were thrilled when they heard that Iceforge Guild is building a workshop, they were after all loyal to Iceforge Guild, they immediately funded him.

"Easy life"

Tanaka thought with a smile.

"Well then, for the first game that Iceforge Guild will take over, let's see, let's go Alfheim Online, I will also take down someone while I'm at it"

Tanaka smiled.

And so with that, the Iceforge Workshop has been established, first thing they did when the Workshop is established is to find their headquarters. Someone actually provided a skyscraper with that, then someone provided with the equipment.

Tanaka was even surprised when he knew of this, these guys are insane, they are not loyal anymore; they are fanatics!
