“I didn’t do it.” “Don’t deny it, Bro. You are caught red-handed! You’re holding Papa’s dead body. The blood is still fresh in your hands!” Mario yelled. “No. You’re wrong.” Shortly after, Marco and the Military Group finally arrived at the scene. Orixa also came. “Marco! Orixa!” “What happened here? Tom - Tom is just lying on the floor and……” Orixa saw Papa’s body, “Oh my gosh!” “Did Nikko do it?” Marco asked. “We still don’t know. He’s the only conscious person we saw when we arrived here,” Arii answered. “Nikku… is that true?” “Yes. But…” Mario butted, “That would mean that he’s the primary suspect in this crime. We should contain him!” Everyone agreed. They drew their weapons and encircled Nikko. “I’m telling the truth,” Nikko insisted. “Nikko, we don’t want this to escalate. We don’t want to hurt you as well. Please don’t resist,” Marco negotiated. Nikko was becoming angry; he also drew his sword. The others were alerted. “Morlock, quick! Use your Spell!” Mario comm

Just in time, the young man was able to conjure a frail wooden fence to protect him from Aize’s attack. Aize’s attack landed on the weak fence. The fence shattered to pieces, and the impact made the young man stumble. Joenald sighed at the sight. “David… you stupid snowflake.” “Get away from me!” the young man begged as he crawled away from Aize. Aize continued walking slowly toward the crawling young man to intimidate him. “You’re not getting away,” he uttered with a peal of ominous laughter. Suddenly, BANG!! A gunshot was fired in Aize’s direction. Aize had to hop away. Then, RATATATATAATATAT!!! Loads of gunshots were fired. Aize was quick to dodge the bullets. He fell back in line with his allies. “What the heck is happening?” Keeta uttered with a frail voice. The person who fired the load stepped forward. “*cough* *cough* I’m sorry, Guys. But I think it’s time for a new governance!!” the person said. Aize and his allies were furious to see the person. “Skald, you f

Under the blue sky of the next stale morning, a group of three players arrived on the outskirts of the Plain Settlements.The first person is wearing a very formal attire: a long-sleeved black cotton polo tucked in silk black slacks pants. A black leather belt supports the pants and black leather shoes cover his feet. He dons a slicked-back hair, adding to the formality of his stance. He seems to be in his middle age.“I think we’re here,” the man said. Poise and tact could be observed in the way he spoke.“Haaayaaaaa!!! Finally, we’re here!” the second person exclaimed. He stretched his body to loosen the tension in his body that they acquired during their long travel.The second person is a young man - almost the age of Mario and Raft. His body is covered with a silky Samurai Kimono. At his waist tied a Special Katana sheathed inside a stylized scabbard. His long hair is stretched neatly by a ponytail and two long strings of bangs dangle at the temples of his head.“Aries! Hitori! C

"What are your true intentions?” Raft asked with hostility.His greeting was not the same as the playfully aggressive approach that Mario made a while ago. It’s obvious that Raft was not playing.Orixa is getting worried about the situation, “Come on, Rafty. Aren’t you happy to see one of your friends again?”“Yeah, Bro! Aren’t you glad that Hitori is here with us now?” Mario followed.“The last time I came across a fellow guild member, they tried to kill us. Can you blame me?” Raft replied. He asked Hitori again, “So… Why did you come to the Plains first before going here? Are you conspiring with Aize too?”“Calm down, Bro. I’m not here to cause a ruckus. I just wanted to meet all of you again.” Hitori replied.“Calm down now, Rafty. There’s no need to be hostile with Hitori.”Raft started to reconsider. He left out a deep breath to release the tension in his body. After a while, “Fine!”“If you, and your friends here, did something funny, I will trigger the Defense System to elimin

“I will do it,” Arii said confidently. Mika was a bit worried. “Are you sure about this, Arii? I…” “Don’t worry. I can do it, Mika,” Arii responded without even letting Mika finish her statement. “But how? How can we do it? I remember my father saying that Joenald was well-known for his good track record. You won’t even see a bit of corruption in his name. That’s the same reason why he became the crowd favorite.” Aries chuckled. “We lived in a world where you can use your money to hire a hitman and end someone’s life. What made you think that the same money couldn’t forge a simple track record of a public identity?” “Makes sense,” Arii murmured. “Remember what our parents always say, ‘Nobody’s perfect’,” Aries joked. “Gosh. You’re scaring me with the knowledge you have,” Orixa said to Aries. “Sorry, Madam. But it’s just the cruel reality of the world we used to live in. And it’s still applicable in this world.” “Damn, Aries. When it comes to these topics, you always lose your m
