THE NEW GATE – an online game transformed into a fight for life and death for its players. Thanks to the valiant efforts of Shin, the most powerful of all, an end to the game and freedom for all seemed within reach. But, moments after Shin defeats the game's final boss, he finds himself bathed in an unknown light and transported about 500 years into the future of the game world. Ejected from a simple game gone wrong into a strange new land, a young swordsman of unparalleled strength is about to embark on a legendary journey!
Yoshiyuki Miwa, the artist of the manga adaptation of the light novels, drew an illustration to celebrate the announcement:
Finally, Kazanami began serializing the original story on the website “ Shōsetsuka ni Narō ” (roughly translated as “ Let’s Become Writers ”) in 2013. AlphaPolis began publishing the story in physical volumes in December 2013, with art by Makai no juunin. However, in August 2016, Kazanami removed the story from Shōsetsuka ni Narō, and AlphaPolis made the story available on its website. AlphaPolis published the 21st volume of the novel in September 2022. Furthermore, Miwa launched the manga in November 2014 on AlphaPolis' manga website. AlphaPolis published the 13th volume of the manga on February 28th.
