This is the thrilling conclusion to the story of Kirito, Asuna, and their friends and Premiere in Ainground. Kirito and friends are trying to save the world of Ainground from destruction. Tia, Premiere's NPC twin and the other goddess/priestess, is intent on destroying the world. Will Kirito, Asuna, and their friends save the world and Premiere along with it? I really enjoyed reading this series and I am enjoying reading manga, comics, and graphic novels for this month's challenge.

Kirito, Asuna, and friends fight against Genesis to stop him from completing the quest for the six sacred stones and starting the Great Separation. The Great Separation would happen if Tia and Premiere, the twin Goddessess/Priestesses, were to pray together at the Holy Tree. The Great Separation would recreate Aincrad and destroy the new world of Ainground. Kirito and his friends don't want this to happen. This would also mean that Premiere would be gone from the world. I am looking forward to finishing this story with the next volume, which is the sixth and final volume.

Kirito, Asuna, and friends continue on the Ground Quest to figure out what is going on. They find the fourth sacred stone and figure out more about Premiere's origin. They figure out that the operating system of the game is somehow slightly altering the quests as players complete objectives and quests. They figure out an important detail about what is happening in this beta game and it alters their thinking about how to proceed with playing the game and finishing the Ground Quest to find all six sacred stones (or not). Kirito and friends finally figure out that Premiere has a twin NPC, which the reader already knows by now. I am enjoying reading this manga series and manga in general for the monthly challenge.
