The sound of laughter was always the same, echoing with a condescending gaze that was not always visible in the boy's two eyes. The sound of the devil's laughter was satisfying seeing his prey suffer, even his hands never stopped leaving bruises all over the body."What are you looking at, you bastard?" the boy in the high school uniform scolded.The boy's face was already red, the corners of his lips were bleeding, and even from his nostrils came a red liquid that could not be stopped at all. Not only in the area of ​​the face that had been damaged by the boy's punches and kicks, the figure who still chanted the terrifying laughter that was feared by all senior students of Veritas School, an elite educational institution that was only filled with students from the upper class. However, there was one lucky student who could get in there, unfortunately, the student had to become a toy for the rich kid who had no manners.Leon Alexander Elard, a 12th-grade student at Veritas School rece

“Leon!”His footsteps stopped again when someone called his name as he was about to turn from the direction of the 3rd-grade high school building towards building 2. Leon turned and found a girl running towards him.Of course, Leon remembered that face. The face of a girl who was sobbing while being beaten by Jono. A moment before Leon lost consciousness, the girl's face appeared.“Viona?” Leon greeted while calling the name of the girl who stopped two steps in front of them.Viona's breath was short, her face confused but happy at the same time when she saw Leon.“Are you okay?” Leon asked realizing the girl's presence even though the one who should have been asked was Leon himself because his face was still bruised.“Yes, I'm fine. But this…” Viona didn't continue her sentence because she was sure Leon and the others understood what she meant.“I know. Is it just you?” Leon asked.“Yes. Just me.

“Are you done?” Maya returned but her appearance was different from before. This time Maya was wearing a combat outfit like in a game movie. “What happened?” Maya was confused as the children stared at her.“Maya, there’s something strange with this kid’s system,” Moe reported while pointing at Leon.“What do you mean?” Maya asked in confusion.“Look. His sword blade is gone,” Moe said again.This time Maya’s attention was drawn to Leon who was still holding his sword. But Maya’s eyes widened and she approached Leon.“A Sword Without a Blade?” Maya said in surprise. The girl then looked at Leon’s face, circling the boy’s body.Everyone fell silent and looked at each other. They didn’t know what Leon’s sword meant.Maya’s expression looked worried now. The girl stopped right in front of Leon and stared at the boy sharply.“Put your sword away. Never draw it unless you feel something strange,” Maya said in a serious voice.No one understood what Maya was saying except Moe.“The Chosen O

The five children were silent in the dim candlelight in the large room. Their minds were still affected by the story they had just heard from Azlan, a stranger who owned the Poisonous Rose Inn in Summer Village.Sean was the first to react, the boy turned away from the middle of the room and chose one of the beds."This room is strange," Sean said, making everyone's attention turn to him. "It's as if this room is specifically for us. As if the innkeeper knew we were coming," the boy continued as he turned around.However, Sean's forehead wrinkled as his vision suddenly blurred.

To make sure that it might be wrong, Sean put his glasses back on but his vision was blurry."Wow.

They watched the fight between Azlan and the faceless black creature. The light that shot quickly belonged to Azlan. Leon watched from his position with both hands holding Zenata's body. Actually, what is that black creature? "This is an established safety zone. You don't need to break into it even if there's a commotion. Get out there!"
