The system randomly appears after eons of the giant lord's imprisonment.

It says [Aincrad has recognized you as a constellation], and suddenly showed a screen and lists of players as well as their stats.

He wasn't able to see any of the human's abilities, but strength, agility, and other status were described in numbers.

"Very interesting..."

He looks at the player with the ID: BallsDeep69 looking at the notification that states "The Monarch Of the Beginning is intrigued by you"

That seems about right... the lord of giants, Legia, was intrigued.

For eons, he was imprisoned in this darkness yet now something interesting had shown up in front of him.

He learned to pick options and go through the system without using his hands too,

"Parasitical thing... However, it didn't take a toll on my soul..., How very curious, haHAHAHAHAHA!"

Looking at a certain black-haired player that now had one of his eyes shine with red, he complies with his weird sense of humor and laughed hard.

Meanwhile, a certain Dragon King drifted inside his void.

He had long abandoned his material body for the fact it was pretty much useless inside this void.

"I wonder how long it has been..."

Veldanava remembered clearly his times with his beloved human wife, Lucia.

He created his own multiverse, yet the "perfect" system of the world he had created was the exact reason he died.

Well, not exactly.

His powers and divinity were stripped away, and handed down to his daughter, Milim.

Both he and his wife had lost all power to the point they were just normal humans before they got killed.

"The reason for my existence in this abyss... It's definitely because of my soul fragmented"

He existed, yet he can't do anything with his powers.

He is just a soul, drifting permanently into the void of darkness.

That's what he thinks until one day, he regained his vision.

Well... Sort of?

"What is this?"

He questioned the fact that other than the darkness, he can only see a square, right, a square of options.

[Aincrad has acknowledged you as a constellation]

A constellation?

What is a constellation?

He feel it for a second and was able to grasp it after a while.

[Would you like to observe ID: BallsDeep69?]

What an interesting nickname, he thought.

He soon found out that not only the player he spectate was inside his Cardinal World, but also knows who he was: The Forgotten Dragon King, Veldanava.

He felt the Magicules of Veldora, his little brother inside the slime that was on the screen.

And he can see that monsters now make civilizations???

Either way, he was very interested in those.

But again, his concerns always come back to the Player who had the highest level on Aincrad, BallsDeep69.

He tried to close the system but...

[Warning: unaccepting the role of a constellation will result in the host's complete soul annihilation]

"Yikes"

Guess he has no choice.

"I am not watching you by my own choice here..."

[The Forgotten Dragon King explains to you that he is not watching humans by his own choice.]

"This thing threatens me so, I am sorry I guess?"

[He wants you to believe that he has to watch because the system thr******************]

"it got filtered? Very interesting..."

Veldanava looks at the player who reads his messages.

He felt kinda bad for barging into someone else's privacy, but after eons of floating around inside the abyss, it was interesting, to say the least.

Meanwhile, a certain Evil goddess who watches over the W system felt the world moved once more.

She had longed for this moment for a very long time, which is a few days, actually.

One day, she received a message from a foreign system, [Aincrad has acknowledged you as a constellation]

"...huh?"--- Was her short response.

She figured it wasn't important and let it do whatever it wants.

It tried to threaten her a few times, but then she obliterated the system completely since she calls it annoying.

Once again the only entertainment she had was the human's mangas and video games. And of course, her favorite show called "Kumo-chan's Reincarnation"

Which is actually just her observing Shiraori's daily life.

That, until the world suspension happened.

She was able to resist it, but the fact that she could no longer look at her precious Kumo-chan (Entertainment) drove her to boredom.

"She's there..." Administrator D gazed upon her reincarnated spider (toy) after a few seconds of silence.

She then spotted the object that she had quite an interest in after a few days of observing the spider.

A smartphone.

She was not able to see through the screen for some reason.

"Huh, some kind of barrier I see..."
Thus she stated in her dark room.

Despite destroying the "Aincrad System" that offers her to become a constellation, she does find it a bit interesting.

However, it wasn't enough to gain her full attention.

But this time something else caught her attention.

The Smartphone that her Kumo-chan holds.

It was very intriguing for her at least.
