An Event has been triggered!” Marco exclaimed. “Quick! Check the details!” Virgo instructed. “Freeeeenz!!” Arii wailed out of worry. Seconds later, “Bwaaaaappp!”. Frenz emerged from the water! “I’m.. okay! It… only…. got my shoe!” Frenz exclaimed as he try to spit water from his mouth and catch his breath. They quickly helped Frenz crawl out from the shore. “What is it? What happened to you?” Arii asked. “I didn’t see!... We must ... get out of here!” Frenz said while still panicking. “AAAAAAAyyyy!” Arii and Frenz screamed as a bizarre creature suddenly emerged from the water. They quickly scattered and fled in terror. “AAAahhhh! Get away from me!” Frenz screamed as the creature keeps on chasing him on the land. “It’s only going after Frenz!” Virgo noticed. “What is that thing? It’s like a crocodile with a shell of a tortoise.” Samson commented. Marco quickly opened his UI to check the Trigger Event Details, “‘Buhagong’s Hunger’ …. It says we should kill that thing before

“….It’s… it’s the Guide!” Mikaila exclaimed as they discover that their guide is one of the dead people. “But... but why!? I don’t understand.” The lady becomes more terrified. Mikaila continued, “What exactly happened here? We left and headed to the forest before the Event started. I wasn’t able to witness everything.” “Same with me. My group went to the forest as soon as we crossed the Portal.” Nikko responded, “The big animals killed these people.” “Can you elaborate, please?” the lady requested. “When the Game Event started, the sky suddenly became dark. The birds grew and started attacking people. Big wolves came out from the forest and ravaged. People started to panic. After that, I set off to look for…” Nikko paused. “....for Mikaila. That’s it.” “I still don’t understand,” the lady said. “We don’t know the exact details. But one thing is for sure, the Game Event had something to do with this.” Nikko nodded. “I think we should find the way out now,” the lady suggested.

Mika moved closer to Nikko and Lumine’s spot to confirm. “You… you’re right! The bodies are gone!” Mika exclaimed. The three climbed down the tree and walked towards the Starting Point which was full of dead bodies earlier. When they arrived at the area and looked closer, they confirmed that all bodies were gone. All that was left are the players’ wristbands. “Have you witnessed what happened here?” Mika asked Lumine. “No,” Lumine answered. “I just woke up and noticed that Nikko is not around. I walked around the bridging branches to search for him. I found him staring at this field with a shocked face. I asked him what was wrong but he didn’t answer, so I walked closer to find it out myself. And then that’s it! The dead bodies are miraculously gone!” she narrated. Mika is confused and shocked at the same time. She stooped down to grab one of the wristbands lying on the ground. She found out that the wristband is not functioning anymore and it is also not glowing. While staring a

Lumine didn’t reply, so Mario butted in to answer Mika. “It’s the ‘Fantasy Booster’!” he proudly exclaimed. “Fantasy-what?” Mika asked. “It’s a cool nanotechnology that was injected into our wrist when we put our arm in the Scanning Machine,” Mario explained enthusiastically. It’s starting to make sense for Mika now. “So, you mean that the thing injected into us makes us understand other languages?” she asked. “Hmm, yyyyes… but not exactly,” Mario answered. He continued, “It’s only a part of the wonderful features of the Fantasy Booster.” “Oh, there are other more?” “Yes!” Mario proudly answered. He, then, looked at Raft and said, “Hey, Bro! Could you do the honor to explain the amazing features of the Fantasy Booster?” Raft accepted. He started to explain, “Fantasy Booster is a technology that can modify a human and its whole body system. From the word itself, this tech can boost the capabilities and attributes of a person - may it be physical, mental, or emotional.” “Wow… I c
