Allen and Vilnalasath arrived in Outland, where they realized Nanika’s Nen was gradually constructing the game world from Allen’s memories. Allen discovered his old characters’ statues and suspected their short races explained his height curse; he then learned he could grant characters to others, prompting Vilnalasath to show interest.

• Allen found himself in Hellfire Peninsula during the Burning Crusade era and maxed out his Hunter talents after the level cap rose to seventy.
• Vilnalasath suggested Nanika’s Nen was building the game world according to Allen’s wish, and she confirmed the Dark Gate led to the Blasted Lands of Azerath.

• Vilnalasath eagerly asked about receiving a Game Character.

Vilnalasath chose the Warlock class and summoned a Felguard as she and Allen cleared Outland, but they discovered that its Dungeons were inaccessible. Hoping to accelerate their construction by strengthening Nanika’s Nen, they traveled to another world and entered a door after intercepting a summoned ball of light, arriving during a man’s Holy Grail chant.

At the destroyed hotel, Allen used an illusion to clear the site and revealed Kayneth, Sola, and Diarmuid, while Kayneth learned Emiya Kiritsugu had caused his devastating losses.

Allen gave Sakura a mercury-based Magic Crest and learned that Tokiomi had invited them to the church without asking about her welfare.
