"Has Raven been found?" Seth asked. Flavio helps Echo clean the dining table. Seth watched them from his chair while eating the dessert. They forbid Seth to help them. "Of course. Raven's been waiting for you. Are you satisfied with the food, Sir? You want something before we go to see Raven?" Seth giggled and finished his drink. "Yes. It's delicious. Thank you in advance, Flavio. You guys are like professional chefs. Is there anyone else in the mansion? I mean - just the four of us?" Flavio nodded stiffly. "Yes. The rest is just smart furniture. In this mansion, there are only four of us. All your needs and stuff automatically, Sir. Whatever you want. Everything is available. Just say the word, Sir." Seth's eyes darted out the window. "Can I take a walk, Flavio? Where are we exactly?" "Okay. I'll take you later. We're still on earth, Sir. Not far away from the capital of Oakenvale State, but this place is a remote territory. Not visible on a normal map. Not everyone can access
[ I have my own satellite watcher built-in system, Seth. It works every time. That's why I have all the human databases around the world. I saw everything. I know everything. Nothing escapes me. Including when I was watching you. ] Raven showed Seth all the pictures and footage of what happened at Covcaid.Corp. A sad glimpse into Seth's life. In the apartment with his daily activities, income counts, expenses, and medical records. Castor Black and his three stupid-looking followers attacked him. Even sweet moments with Millie Graham. Bullshit!! That traitorous deserved death in the worst way! "Come on! You don't have to show all that, Raven. That's so embarrassing. Delete it forever, please. I don't want to look back anymore. Do you have something good for me? I won't think twice." Seth chuckled to curse his exhaustion, "bullshit! Enough to be a weak and oppressed person that does not work at Oakenvale State!" [ I was impressed. You learn quickly and accept reality. That's good,
[ Power system_ ] [NAV_PORT_06//CP_ ] [ PROV.745/PDQ_ ] [ It's not that easy, Seth. President Benjamin Hayes was a clean leader. He was not involved with the covert operations in the Broken Lands. Well, it's just that he deliberately closed his eyes and ears. The thing is, there are few people to trust in Oakenvale State. The parliamentary ranks are also adept at maintaining the image behind the crimes they commit. This international issue does not generate profits for the state – they will not want to bother fighting for the human rights of others. The legal system in Oakenvale State is Mercantile. Haven't you felt it yourself? Did they ever hear your voice when you needed their help the most? Just because you don't have the money to pay them. No one stands to defend you when you are at the bottom of the caste. ] Seth chuckled. Throw away his sight. To this day, he still feels disappointed about it. "Yeah, it's true, anyway." Of course, he felt it when Castor Black treated him li
"Good morning, sir. It's a sunny day! I hope you're ready for practice today?" Flavio greets Friendly from the dinner table. His voice was loud this morning. "And, welcome to join us. I'm glad to hear from Raven that you accepted this project. I'm sure you'll make it later, Sir." Echo put down the last plate containing a stack of pancakes. "Please sit down, Sir. Enjoy your breakfast." Seth giggled fantastically. "Morning, Flavio. Hei, Echo. Wow, lots of good food here. Thank you, Flavio, for your sincerity. I just have to try not to get killed on the battlefield, right? I think I can do it. I don't have a background as a soldier." Flavio guffawed stiffly. "You are a good joke, Sir. Take it easy. Raven will turn you into a super soldier, Sir." "Bon Appetit to you guys," Seth said. He was eating his morning meal. How grateful he was, sleeping in a super comfortable place and getting up early to serve a delicious breakfast. Can his life be better than this? Although this Mansion sti
One month later. [ Welcome, Seth C. Vonstein_ ] [ Stage Two Training_ ] [ Combat Skill Enhancement_ ] [ 52 days training: 68% completed_ ] [ Focus, Seth. You should be able to use all that equipment. Ready to face anything, if necessary, execute your target using the tip of a pencil once. ] Tranggggg!!! [Terminus Frontier is a training robot. They will help you to improve your fighting skills in addition to your battle skills. ] Tranngggg!!! Tranggggg!!! "I'm trying!" Seth responded, half-exasperated. Seth dodged the attacks of Terminus Frontier, who came in unison to attack him from all directions. He grasped the two blades of the Vero Schyte sword that emitted a crimson-black-colored light. The maneuver is fast. Seth rolls to get up and cuts off both of the robots' legs until an explosion knocks out a line of Terminus Frontier crowding his steps. Every parry, slash, and swing of swords clashed with each other released dramatic sparks of crimson black that dazzled
Ting! Pussssssshhhhhh! [ Welcome, Seth C. Vonstein_ ] [ Bunker Guardian Valkyrie Station_ ] [ Stage Three Training_ ] [ Sabotage Skill_ ] [ 53 days training: 82% completed_ ] "Bloody hell! It's like a space station." Seth is confronted by a giant, state-of-the-art bunker station as the elevator doors open. That place is enormous. One control cabin on the primary side. A variety of War commander equipment filled the bunker. Jet planes that help Seth escape when chased by the Codex soldiers, drones, helicopters, tanks, anti-tank vehicles, heavy military weapons, bomb launchers, mortars, etc. There are giant steel chains that bind the entire propulsion panel. "You have your own plane?" Seth asked pensively. "It's a craze. I don't know what to say, Raven." [ These are your training aids. You should be able to use it. This is what you will face on the battlefield. As a trained elite assassin, you must also be able to stop all of their support combat vehicles. There is
"Ugh, shit," Seth muttered and snorted bitterly. [ This is your last Test, Seth. If you make it to the top. It means you're ready for battle. ] "Seriously?! No security or anything? It took me a while to think. You really want to kill me, don't you? In such an extreme way?" [ You are so wrong. We prepared you, Seth. You have to be able to survive on any terrain. That's the purpose of the training or the Test you took yesterday. Didn't you feel the change yourself? All this is needed on the battlefield. You hunt and search alone. You have to be able to handle any situation. ] "Yeah, I know," Seth replied as he shrugged. He clenched his two stiff hands. The wind is blowing hard. Seth must be able to balance himself so as not to fall. If he fell, he'd be dead. Calm Down, Seth. You can do this. You must be able to pass this final Test! Convince yourself. The legs and hands were twitching due to being there for too long without any backrest. Seth paused momentarily to catch his
Zwwwuuuuuung! "I'm coming." Seth greets Raven in the server room. The iron door was wide open; this place was familiar to him. It was the same as the first time Seth came to him. Cold as ice. The room lighting immediately lit up as Seth approached the main desk. Something is different; this time, there is a storage room in another corner that looks like an armory or−? Seth was curious. Wanted to approach the place, but Raven had already given the order. Seth discouraged, had to hold back after the critical talk was over later. He will visit the site. I am trying to remember yesterday. Fast installation? [ Sit down. You have to pay attention, study, and listen carefully. All the data are related to your first assignment on the battlefield. Considering your training is very satisfying. It's time to drop you at the designated location. ] "Yeah. I'm ready for that. Finally, you trust me this time?" Seth said, half sarcastic. [ Don't make it personal, Seth. Look, we've developed
