In the building a girl who was sharping a rapier and checks on the sharpness.

????: okay here a go.

She puts the rapier in it's scabbard and gave it to Asuna.

Asuna: thanks, you're the best Liz.

Liz: yeah wait are you supposed to go hunt with the guilds?

Asuna:*blush* well I had to take a day off and met two people and one of them was kind and had white hair which is iconic for video game characters.

Liz: mmmm?

She sees two earrings on Asuna's ears. Then she starts to tease Asuna.

Liz: so that's it huh?

Asuna: wh-what is it?

Then the bell rings.

Asuna: oh I gotta go now!!

She was going to leave the building and Liz gently grabs her chest.

Liz: you've found something that js important you, haven't you?

Asuna stops and ask Liz.

Asuna: you said something?

Liz: nope, nothing at all. Just make sure it works out okay?

Asuna: it's not like that!! Anyways see you.

Liz looks at a photo of her friends.

Liz: I wonder if I'll ever find something too?

Yami: IF YOU DON'T OPEN THE DOOR ON THE COUNT OF 3!! I'LL BURN THIS BUILDING DOWN!! 1, 2....

Liz: AHHHHHHHHHH!!-

Yami: 3!!!

Liz: NOOOOOOOOOO!!-

In the Building named Lisbeth's shop. The blacksmith player Lisbeth was forging a sword, it was completed and she checks it.

Lisbeth: it's good enough I guess.

She hears bell rings, puts away her gloves and did her motto. Kirito and Yami were in shop checking out the weapons in display.

Kirito: oh sorry I was wondering if you can do custom orders.

Lisbeth checks on both Yami and Kirito.

Lisbeth:*mind* mmm they don't like they have a lot of money.*normal talk* I can but the metal prices are going up these days.

Yami: we're not worried about the cost. Kirito just want the best sword you can create as soon as possible.

Kirito pulls out his sword and gave it to Lisbeth which it was heavy as she was shocked to see the stats.

Lisbeth: A Elucidator!? It's a beast of a magic sword obtainable from a monster drop!!

Kirito: can you make one?

She turns around, grabbed a sword and hands it to Kirito.

Lisbeth: It's the best I've ever forged, my masterpiece!!

Kirito swings the sword around as he felt the weapon's weight.

Kirito: it's a little light.

Lisbeth: Well, I did used a speed type metal to forge it.

Yami who backed away because what's going to happened.

Kirito: would you mind if I test it?

Lisbeth: test it?

Kirito: you know it's durability.

Yami: oh no...

Lisbeth: h-hey your sword will break into two if you do that!!

Kirito: if that happens it will just be too bad!!

He charges up and swings the sword at Elucidator but when the sword hits Elucidator it broken and not the black sword. The broken blade lands on the floor as Yami picks it up but turns into polygons.

Yami: well shit.

Lisbeth: AHHHHHHHHH!!!

She grabs the handle quickly.

Lisbeth: irreparable...

Then the rest of the sword turned into polygons. Lisbeth fell on the ground but quickly got up and grabs Kirito's black shirt.

Lisbeth: what were you thinking!?

Kirito: I'm sorry!! I didn't know that yours would break!!

Lisbeth: then you're saying that my sword is lamer than you expected!?

Kirito: yeah I guess...

She let go of his shirt as Yami sighs.

Yami: if you had the materials to make it but the weapon is from a monster drop and you know that monster drops weapons are better than you get from the store. Also that metal was weak, you should know that. Check the durability of that metal if it's weak don't take if it's strong like Elucidator the fucken take the metal and ran your ass back here!!

She turned red as she yells at him.

Lisbeth: to get the metals it's on floor 55!! A dragon that eats crystals and stores in it's body!! But you still need a master smith with you. Or can you do it alone?

Yami: I'll do it, Kirito you'll stay here and help Sachi, Silica or Asuna with the enemies make sure they're safe okay?

Kirito: got it Yami.

He leaves, Yami takes off his mask, puts it away and puts on DMC 1 Dante coat and changes his weapon to Rebellion

(Replace Devil Sword Dante with Rebellion)

Yami: well be careful, get some items to you heal yourself.

Lisbeth: but what about you?

Yami: I'll be fine, I've did this many times back at home.
(Flashback, Reality)
Yami: God dam it's Cold!! Why god!?

God: Sorry my mistake.

(End Flashback)
(Timeskip)(Floor 55: Western Mountains)

Lisbeth:*sneeze* it's cold.

Yami: you brought extra clothing did you?

Lisbeth: well I didn't know Floor 55 is a ice/snow zone!!

He takes off his coat and gave it to Lisbeth.

Lisbeth: you're going to be okay without your coat?

Yami: hey I've understand the striations in this game Lisbeth. I've been dealing cold temperatures.

Lisbeth: you are pushing my buttons here!!

She holds the coat and felt the warmth.

Lisbeth: it feels warm.*mind* Wait the red coat, the fox mask then no way it's the Player in Red!! He's actually helping me.

Yami: hey Liz, are you coming or what?

Lisbeth: yeah sorry!!

They continued to walk, walked and they arrived at the location. Lisbeth checks on the materials and she was happy that it look great.

Lisbeth: it's beautiful!!

Yami: hold on Lisbeth, get the teleport crystal. I'll attack first, you'll sneak attack it and hide got it?

Lisbeth: yeah.

They heard a roar to see the boss X'rphan the White Wyrm.

Yami takes out Star's pokeball and she was a Gabite and summons out a demon.

Yami: Star use Rock Tomb to lower it's speed, then use Flamethrower. Don't get hit!!

The dragon starts to charge it's attack and Lisbeth shouts at them.

Lisbeth: it's using it's breath attack dodge it!!

It shoots out it's freezing breath attack and hits the trio. The smoke was driven away and the trio was okay with Rebellion ready in Yami's hands.

Yami: burn into ashes!! Apollo!!

Apollo shoots out Agidyne a large fire attack and hits the dragon's right arm. Star uses Rock Tomb and hits the dragon lowering it's speed and uses Flamethrower to damage it which it was very effective.

Lisbeth: no way, they're okay but what in the world is Yami anyways? Yeah he's the Player in Red, the Devil Summoner with the other titles but something more about him. His determination to save many people as he can. His eyes before this fight started, it's like he's reaching out to all of us.

He swings Rebellion damaging the weakened ice armor breaking it and the dragon was backed out and flies straight towards Yami but he thrust his sword at the right arm cutting it off and turning it to polygons. Lisbeth joins in and swings her mace at the legs with Star's help. It caused the dragon to lose it's balance.

Yami: get out of here!!

The dragon uses it's wings to blow them away. Both Star and Lisbeth fell to the hole, she closes her eyes and screams.

Lisbeth: no!! Please no!!

Star returned to her pokeball and Yami grabs her. She open her eyes to see Yami.

Yami: Hold on Liz!!

She screams as her screams echoed.

(Meanwhile)(Floor 57: Martin)

Kirito: Yami is sure taking his time.

Sachi: Kirito there you are!!

Kirito: oh hey Sachi how's the guild doing?

Sachi: we're doing really good thanks for asking.

Silica: Kirito!! Haven't seen you for sometime!!

Kirito: oh hey Silica how Pina?

Silica: she's doing good, she missed Yami and Star.

Asuna: Kirito who are them?

Kirito: oh these are friends of Yami and myself.

Asuna: oh I see friends of Yami.

Yuna: he's got be here Nautilus!!

Nautilus: I know but I doubt he's here-Asuna?

Asuna: oh hey Nautilus haven't seen you since you know left the guild.

Nautilus: sure but have you seen Yami?

Kirito: he's with Lisbeth at Floor 55, the western mountains.

Yuna: oh come on I was going to see him!!

Nautilus: yeah sure.

Sachi: wait why?

Yuna:*blush* heh...

Asuna: oh you're not going to have my Yami!!

Sachi: your Yami!? He's mine!!

Silica: back off he's mine!!

Yuna: no!! He's only mine not yours!!

Kirito: guys.

Asuna: not now Kirito!!

Kirito: guys...

Sachi: please Kirito back off.

Kirito: GUYS!!

Them: what!?

Other players were looking at them and they blushed in embarrassment. They went to a different place in the floor with barely any players.

Kirito:*sigh* look we know that we like him. But if we keep doing this we might not get our chances.

Silica: so what do we do?

Kirito: how about we share him?

Sachi: share him? Like those harem anime most isakai harem anime?

Kirito: yeah like that but we have understand that other people might join in the harem and we have to accept it.

Nautilus:*sigh**mind* I pray that Yami will survive

Asuna: yeah I wonder who'll be joining the harem.

(Back with Yami)(Nighttime)

They were still in the hole. Lisbeth was in her sleeping back while Yami who was sitting down resting.

Lisbeth: hey Yami can I ask you something?

Yami: I'm all ears.

Lisbeth: why did you save me?

Yami: I was going to save this until August, 2026 but I have to reveal it to you. I'm not from here.

Lisbeth: wait what do you mean not from here?

Yami: I'm from Reality not yours but the actual reality where you and everyone are just fictional chacaters, the forth wall that everyone said. My whole family including myself were dead but I've been transported to here so I can save everyone from pain and suffering.

Lisbeth: I didn't know that....

Yami: this isn't the world that has been through pain and suffer. There's other worlds that dealt more I can only do is watch everyone like me would agree that we can only watch the destruction of these worlds.

Lisbeth: oh my god

Yami: Other versions were you might no exist because other gods have their own universe. My goal is to save everyone from pain and suffering. After that I'm not sure maybe find a new home.

Lisbeth: I hope you'll find a new home, Yami. Hey um can you hold my hand?

Yami: yeah sure I can do that.

He holds her hand, she smiles and both feel asleep.

(Timeskip)(Morning)

Lisbeth wakes up, she stretches her arms while yawning and she sees Yami digging the snow.

Lisbeth: mmm?

She quickly remembers from last night which she flusters about and quickly shakes it off.

Lisbeth: what'c you're doing?

Yami: Mmm? Oh is this the ingot?

He hold up the ingot and Lisbeth check it on her menu.

<<Item Name: Crystallite Ingot>>

Lisbeth: is it the actual one?

Yami: bingo, also this hole is actual the nest and that crystal? Yeah it's poop.

She yelps and Yami catches the ingot.

Yami: well we got it what we came here for.

Lisbeth: wait if the dragon is nocturnal then...

They looked up and saw the dragon flying down.

Lisbeth: It's here!!

The dragon rawrs but Yami grabs Lisbeth on to his shoulder, takes out Rebellion, swings in the snow covering them and confusing the dragon. Lisbeth opened her eyes to see that Yami is carrying here while running up the walls.

Lisbeth: EEEEEHHHHHAAAAAA!!!

Yami: hold on!! I got this!!

He stabs the dragon's back and the dragon flies upward to the sky. The blade let go and both of them went up to the clouds. Lisbeth open her eyes to see the morning sun.

Yami: Lisbeth grab my hand!!

She quickly did, Yami picks her up six angel wings appears on his back and carries Lisbeth bridal style. She open her eyes to see it.

Lisbeth: Yami your back!!

Yami: huh? Oh it's fine look at the morning sun.

Lisbeth looks at the morning sun and she's amazed how beautiful it looks.

Lisbeth: it's beautiful.

Yami: no, you're beautiful Liz.

Lisbeth:*blush* o-oh th-thanks for the comment!!

Yami: come on we should return.

Now Yami and Kirito are in the shop as Lisbeth has the ingot ready.

Lisbeth: One handed Long Sword coming right up.

Kirito: yeah and make it awesome.

She breaths in and out. She grabs her hand and began to start the process.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Asuna: thank god you're okay!! I was so worried about you!!

Lisbeth: well you have to thank Yami for saving our butts.

Yami: heh, shall we go outside alone?

Lisbeth: yeah I'll like that.

Lisbeth: man your family must be great people.

Yami: yeah they are but now I must go on and save the people now and the future.

Lisbeth: hey Yami I have something that will help you.

Yami: what is it?

Lisbeth: this.

She reveals a katana and Yami knew this katana.

Yami: how did you find it?

Lisbeth: well I found it in a forest where foxes were resting at. They allowed me to take it since it was damaged and my heart was pure. So I repaired it with the materials I have also when we were in the mountains I took an extra ingot to make it more stronger and durable.
