As Shido entered a new world, he raised his alertness to the limit using [Observation Haki]. Just to be more careful, Shido also used [Transparency Manipulation] to make himself invisible.
Yet, when he arrived in the new world, he found himself in the middle of a park. It was currently night time and Shido estimated the time to be around eight or nine in the evening.
Well, even if he arrive during the morning, it wouldn't matter much to Shido since he was currently in stealth mode, and nothing could detect him.
It was the middle of the night, so of course no one was walking around. There might have been a few police patrolling the area, but that was it.
After confirming that the park was empty, Shido deactivated his invisibility, allowing his figure to reappear. He then looked around and began walking aimlessly.
"It seems to be a normal world."
Shido continued observing his surroundings until he reached a more populated area, where various kinds of people moved in all directions. Towering buildings loomed overhead, adorned with massive billboards, and huge screens displayed commercials that flickered brightly in the night.
Even though it was a normal world, Shido had to admit, the technology here was more advanced than anything in the neutral world.
Shido continued scanning the area for information when his eyes caught sight of one of the huge screens. A surprised yet joyful expression spread across his face as he recognized a familiar scene playing in the commercial.
On the screen was a fantasy game, featuring fairies of various colors flying together toward an enormous tree that stretched into the sky. The scene shifted from peaceful exploration to fierce battles between different fairy races. Before long, the game's title appeared in bold letters: «ALfheim Online».
Watching all of this, Shido could already tell which world he had been transported to. Just as he began pondering his next move, a series of notifications from the system echoed in his ears, and the Quest List he needed to complete appeared before him.
Ding!
[New Quests Issued]
[Quest 1: Retrieve a Copy of the SEED]
[Quest 2: Join ALfheim Online and Become a High Level Player]
[Quest 3: Join GGO and Win the 3rd Bullet of Bullets Tournament]
[Quest 4: Catch the Culprit Behind the Death Gun Case]
[Quest 5: Make At Least One Heroine to Fall for you]
"..." Shido
He examined the list of quests. Compared to the challenges he faced in the Overlord world, these seemed much easier, after all, this world was the Sword Art Online universe, which was considered a normal world.
However, if there was one thing that made Shido feel a little lost, it was because of the fifth and final quest which was telling him to get a girl to fall for him.
He couldn't help but sigh, recalling what Frieren had just told him. And yet, the system was essentially forcing him to take on another lover. What choice did he have but to 'reluctantly' do what the system quest give.
At that moment, another system notification echoed in his mind which made him a little speechless. But he quickly realized that it was only reasonable.
Ding!
[As the Host has traveled to a normal world, automatic level adjustment will occur according to the difficulty of the world.]
After the notification, Shido opened his Stats Menu, where he could view all the information about himself.
What appeared before him was a significant decrease in his level and stats, everything except his Charm and Luck had been reduced. Thinking it over, Shido simply shrugged. Even with these limits, he was still strong enough to fight a hundred battles. Also, along with reducing his stats, most of his magic and skill was also unable to use. But it doesn't really matter that much as the most important skill he needed wasn't deactivated.

For now, he had set his goal to become the youngest, richest, and most influential man in Japan. As he thought about it, Shido began planning which businesses to pursue and how he could rise to success in a short span of time. However, with his [Memory Manipulation] and [Business Mastery], he didn't need to worry about anything and just focus on the quest.
After processing everything he needed to do, Shido closed the system interface, glanced at the massive screen one last time before he disappeared into the crowd of people.
...
Three months quickly pass and an uproar was happening in the business world creating a huge sensation. It was because a young business prodigy suddenly emerge from the business world shocking everyone with his extraordinary talent and masterful manipulation which made him earn the other businessman's fear and respect.
Some companies tried to assert their power by pressuring the young genius, but their efforts backfired. Share values plummeted as if someone had deliberately manipulated them. One by one, mysterious buyers began acquiring all the company's shares, while damaging rumors spread, tarnishing the company's reputation. The CEO was forced to issue a public apology, ultimately leading to his removal from the position.
The same thing happened with the other company that wasn't satisfied with the business genius's attitude, but the result was the same and all of them was devoured by the business genius.
After these events, no one dared to challenge him anymore, he also became a taboo figure in the business world.
As his empire grew, the young business genius went on to establish the Flugel Conglomerate, which quickly became the cornerstone of his expanding influence.
From banking, hospitals, media, entertainment, and security, to virtual reality, game development, food and beverages, investment management, e-commerce, hotels, and even pharmaceuticals, the young business genius built an empire spanning countless industries. He became the youngest richest businessman in Japan, with a net worth of 40 billion USD.
The amount alone was staggering, but what shocked other businessmen even more was that he achieved it in such a short period of time. The young genius became a legend in the business world, inspiring countless young people who aspired to follow in his footsteps.
Meanwhile, while the world buzzed about his exploits, Shido was lounging lazily on his sofa, a bag of potato chips in one hand and a cola by his side, watching a live concert of a rising singer named Kanzaki Elsa.
As for why Shido was watching her concert, well, firstly it was because she looks cute and also have a nice voice. Second, her talent agency was under his company, making him more interested in her performance.
Just as many had already guessed, the young business genius was none other than Shido. Over the past three months, he had worked tirelessly, using his [Memory Manipulation] and [Business Mastery] to achieve everything he had accomplished.
With the combination of these two skills, nothing could stand in the way of his rise.
