Kirito, Sinon, and Leafa continue their investigation of the Death Gun incident in the virtual MMO game Gun Gale Online. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they discover that the person behind the killings may have a connection to a certain player named Spiegel, who has been spotted lurking in the game's forest area.

In order to get closer to Spiegel, Kirito decides to participate in the forest challenge, a game mode where players must survive in the wilderness and gather supplies while facing off against dangerous monsters. Sinon and Leafa join him, and together they make their way through the forest.

As they navigate the treacherous terrain, they come across a mysterious house nestled deep in the woods. The group decides to investigate, and find themselves facing off against an unexpected foe.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Asuna begins to worry about Kirito's safety as he becomes more and more involved in the Death Gun investigation. She reaches out to her friends in the gaming community for help, and together they hatch a plan to keep an eye on Kirito and make sure he stays out of danger.

Back in Gun Gale Online, Kirito and his companions are forced to use all their skills and resources to survive against their formidable enemy. As they struggle to escape from the house in the forest, they realize that the Death Gun incident may be more complicated than they originally thought.

With each new revelation, the threat of danger looms closer, and Kirito and his friends must continue to work together if they hope to uncover the truth behind the killings and put a stop to the deadly game once and for all.
