Unfortunately, that would all depend on what happens after Project Alicization's Arc. There is no guarantee he will return to the real world, it seems, and even if he does, being in that world reduces his overall life expectancy, due to the fastforwarding of time. They don't have those problems fixed until the time of Accel World, though it still has an effect on a person's life expectancy, though not as much.
