Chapter 046- Back to Reality

Rifat's eyelids fluttered, gradually revealing his alert, focused gaze. The transition from the virtual world to reality proved disorienting, causing him to take a moment to adjust to the brightness of the room.

As his surroundings came into clearer view, Rifat noticed the presence of his dedicated maids attending to his well-being. With gentle efficiency, one of them approached his bedside, supporting him as he sat upright, while another swiftly departed to inform Butler George of his awakening.

After more than a year of immobility, Rifat found it quite challenging to even sit up on the bed. The prolonged inactivity had taken a toll on his muscles, causing them to weaken.

'I must regain my strength and get back into shape swiftly,' Rifat thought with a tinge of frustration.

He felt uncomfortable and dissatisfied with his current physical condition, unable to fully control his own body as he once did. The loss of the well-defined muscles he had developed through rigorous training only added to his lamentation.

As Rifat immersed himself in his thoughts, a mechanical voice suddenly resounded in his head, jolting him back to reality.

[Congratulations, host, for completing your two missions!]

[You have earned the following rewards:

1. Private World: This world has been designated as your personal domain. You have complete control over its time flow, and no one can enter without your permission. However, you can freely enter and exit as you wish.

2. World Travel Tokens (x3): These tokens allow you to grant others the ability to travel to different worlds with you.

[A/N: Who do you think mc should take with him?]

3.Special Reward: You will obtain all the powers possessed by your in-game avatar. Would you like to assimilate them now? Please respond with Yes or No.]

"Hold off on granting me the special reward for now," Rifat silently commanded, not wanting to reveal any supernatural abilities in front of his maids. He intended to accept it in private, away from prying eyes.

After his command was registered, more system notifications continued to flood his consciousness, appearing one after another without ceasing.

[Ding! Congratulation for getting a copy of Kirito's reward.]

[Ding! Congratulation for getting a copy of Asuna's reward.]

[Ding! Congratulation for getting a copy of Suguha's reward.]

The rewards continued to pour in for Rifat, overwhelming him to the point of numbness. Each notification brought forth new rewards, inundating him with an unending stream of benefits from the system.

---With Kirito---

Kirito was left dumbfounded as the mechanical voice echoed in his mind, informing him of the rewards he had received.

"Can it truly be possible to assimilate the power of my game avatar into my real body? This is beyond belief," Kirito muttered, struggling to comprehend the magnitude of the situation.

However, Kirito, always cautious and skeptical, decided it would be best to be alone before accepting such an extraordinary reward.

While Kirito postponed the acceptance of the first reward to avoid drawing attention, he eagerly accepted the second reward without hesitation.

As he absorbed the reward, a refreshing sensation washed over his brain, and an overwhelming feeling of enlightenment surged within him.

Unlike before, Kirito now possessed an extraordinary ability to learn at an accelerated pace, surpassing the capabilities of an average person by at least fivefold.

---With Konno Yuuki---

Yuuki's eyes welled up with tears of joy as she gazed at her rewards. The debilitating sickness that had plagued her for so long was miraculously cured by the system.

While she also received the power of her avatar, it paled in comparison to the significance of being freed from AIDS.

"Now, I can finally embrace Rifat's love without the burden of feeling inferior. I no longer have to worry about my illness affecting him," Yuuki thought, her heart brimming with newfound hope.

The weight of her illness had cast a shadow over their relationship, making her question if she deserved his affection fearing the consequences of her condition.

But now, with the cure provided by the system, she felt a surge of confidence and a profound sense of relief.

She imagined a future with Rifat, free from the constraints of her illness. They could share their lives without fear, cherishing each moment together. No longer would she have to hide her true self or hold back her emotions.

The barriers that had kept them apart were crumbling, replaced by the hopeful future of a deep and meaningful connection.

Yuuki wiped away her tears, a smile gracing her face as she embraced the hope that the system had bestowed upon her.

She was ready to take the next step in her relationship with Rifat, knowing that they could face any challenge together, now unburdened by her previous limitations.

…

Every individual with the subsystem received a set of two rewards.

The first reward consisted of a copy of their avatar's strength and abilities, essentially granting them the power they had acquired within the virtual world. This allowed them to possess formidable skills and capabilities that surpassed their previous limitations.

The second reward, however, was unique to each person and tailored to their individual circumstances and innermost desires. The nature of this reward was influenced by their personal situations and the deepest longings of their hearts.

For some, it could be a physical or mental healing, increase in talent in certain areas or the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. The system's intricate understanding of each person's innermost wishes allowed it to provide a reward that would truly transform their lives.

…

"George, it's been a while. How have you been?" Rifat greeted his butler with a warm smile as he entered through the door.

"I have been well, young master. It's a pleasure to see you again," George responded, giving a respectful bow to Rifat.

Curious about the events that occurred during his absence, Rifat inquired, "Tell me, how are things going outside?"

"Fortunately, I have successfully met your expectations, and there have been no significant issues that have arisen during your time away," George reassured Rifat.

"In the beginning, there was some public pressure, and our companies experienced some losses in the stock market. However, I have successfully managed to mitigate the situation and regain control."

"Currently, while there are still protests in the streets regarding the death game SAO, they have become less intense, and we have a firm grip on the situation," George responded in a concise manner."

Rifat expressed his satisfaction, saying, "That's good to hear. I can always rely on you to handle things effectively."

"How are Asuna and the others doing?" Rifat inquired, curious about their well-being.

"As you instructed, they are currently being taken care of in this mansion," George replied.

Prior to Rifat logging into SAO, he had instructed George to bring all his waifus to the mansion and ensure they received the best medical care from advanced doctors and nurses. He had taken this measure to prevent any health issues that may have arisen from their prolonged stay in the virtual world.

"Let's go and check on them," Rifat said, aided by a maid as he made his way to visit each of his waifus individually. He wanted to inquire about their well-being and ensure they were doing fine after waking up from SAO.
