Game of the Destiny

Deeper.

One day before Game of the Destiny starts.

      That night Dante visits the Gorge's grandfather's bakery. He had to further question why the old man had chosen him. What do agents J and R mean by stating that he is a descendant of the previous fire prince? It's hard to understand.

    "You came, son!" Gorge greeted him. There are also agents J and R, it looks like they've been waiting for Dante to come.

    Agents J and R stood up from their seats, and they smiled at Dante. It seems that their efforts were not in vain.

    Dante looks awkward, he still can't make up his mind, he needs more explanation about all that bullshit.

    "I keep thinking about this, should I believe what you guys tell me?" said Dante.

    "I mean, isn't this so sudden? How could I possibly trust you and carry such a heavy burden on my shoulders." Dante looked down, the man looked very frustrated.

    "Didn't I explain it to you?" said agent J

    "Yes, you explained it well. But I need concrete proof!" Dante replied.

    Gorge seemed to let out a long breath, he stood up and asked Dante and the two agents to follow him.

    Gorge led the three of them towards the basement of the building he had something to show.

    Dante and the two agents could only follow what Gorge wanted, they went down the stairs until they reached where the old man wanted.

    There was a box-shaped cage covered by a black cloth. The cage is large enough to accommodate a human in it.

    Dante desperately wondered what was inside the cage, while agents J and R seemed to be whispering to each other.

    "You have to see this to believe it!" George said to Dante.

    Gorge immediately removed the black cloth that covered the cage, a person was sitting curled up with his legs and hands shackled with chains.

    Dante was shocked to death.

    "What did you do to him? Are you crazy!" Dante said he couldn't accept the Gorge's treatment of a man who looked helpless in a cage.

    "Wait a minute. You'll see what happens after this." George immediately approached the two agents who had been standing behind him.

    Agents J and R nodded, they understood what Abyss wanted.

    Agent J immediately opens a window in the basement that connects directly to the surface to let the moonlight into the room.

    "Have you ever seen a werewolf?" George asked Dante.

    "Yeah, of course, I saw it in a fiction movie I've seen!" Dante replied.

    "How about you see it in person this time?" George asked again.

    "Of course, it's very unlikely!" Dante answered very confidently.

    Agents J and R immediately pushed and moved the cage to an area exposed to direct moonlight. And what happened next made Dante fall to the floor speechless.

    The man who was in the cage seemed to show strange behavior, he started howling while staring at the moon through the window in the basement.

    "What is going on?" asked Dante.

    "Transformation!" replied George firmly.

    Instantly the chains holding the legs and arms of the man in the cage broke, and his entire body began to ooze hair. The man's body changed drastically, his muscles seemed to grow very fast, and now the man's body became a little bigger and taller.

    Dante who saw this could only be silent, he had never seen a human who could do such a thing.

    Now the change was getting closer to perfection, the man's face began to change, and the wolf's muzzle started sticking out of his mouth.

    "Aaaaaaaaaaa...." the man howled loudly. Now the changes have worked perfectly.

    Dante rubbed his eyes, he could not believe what he saw in front of his eyes at that time. It was clear that it was a werewolf that he only knew from a few films and fiction books he had read.

    The weak man who was originally locked in a cage has now transformed into a werewolf perfectly, as told in films and fiction books, it seems that the moonlight is their main strength.

    Now that the werewolf was starting to rampage, he plunged his sharp claws into the iron bars of the cage that had imprisoned him.

    Dante looked very frightened, this was the first time he had seen a werewolf in person. Agents J and R quickly returned to cover the cage with the black cloth that had been removed earlier.

    "Keep the cage away from the moonlight!" George said to agents J and R.

      The werewolf who lost the moonlight immediately returned to his human form, he couldn't transform freely into the human dimension.

    Grandpa George immediately approached Dante, he reached out his hand to help the man up.

    "Do you still think this is bullshit?" George asked Dante.

    Dante couldn't answer it, of course, what he just saw wasn't fabricated.

    George explains if there are times when the dimensions that exist in this world are interconnected. There were many cases where other races used it to enter the human dimension. All mythologies and mystical creatures that are told as fairy tales are real things, be they werewolves, vampires, goblins, and others are real things.

    "Entering a world inhabited by other races is an interdimensional crime!" George explained.

    Agents J and R nodded and confirmed that.

    George said that in the past the elders of each race living in a different dimension had made a pact that they would not interfere with each other. This is to maintain a balance between dimensions, but some parties violate the agreement. They are seduced by what is in another dimension.

    "Take this werewolf, for example. He entered our dimension to hunt for human flesh!" said George.

    "Do they eat human flesh?" asked Dante, he shuddered in horror.

    "Yeah, that's what happened. I caught this werewolf when he preyed on a baby a few days ago!" replied George.

    Dante shuddered again to hear it.

    "That's why I called agents J and R to see me. They have the authority and the right to decide what we do with the werewolves!" George looked at agents J and R.

    As the previous two agents said. They are agents who work directly under the orders of parliament. They have the power to handle these cases.

    "We belong to an organization called 'The other side of the word'!" now agents J and R officially introduce themselves.

    "As we have explained before, we are under direct parliamentary orders!" agent J added.

    Dante now understands, and it turns out that in this world there are still many things that are not known. Just like what he had just witnessed with his own eyes back then, the other side of the world, a world that most of the people in this world had never known. Dante took a deep breath, now he knew that he had been innocent all along.

    "Alright, let's talk about this further!" George suggested, he asked the three men to return to the upper room where the bakery was.

    George glared at Dante.

    "Have you experienced it?" asked the old man.

    Dante nodded his head. He knew what George meant in his question.

    "My hand shoots fire!" said Dante.

    "I'm not surprised at all by that. After all, the locket has chosen its master!" replied George.

    "Tomorrow Game of the Destiny will begin. Right now all the representatives of the other races have chosen their respective leaders." George rose from his seat.

    "Right now it's only the human race that hasn't sent a representative yet. You know what will happen if we don't send someone as a representative in that game?" George asked Dante.

    Dante was silent as he swallowed his saliva.

    "Doomsday!" said George. The old man brought his face closer to Dante's.

    "If you don't come then our world will have an apocalypse!" George added again. He glared at Dante.

    "Do you know of some plagues that have hit the earth?" asked George.

    George explained that the bubonic plague that had occurred from 1346 to 1353 was the work of Nidhug. The plague that killed tens of millions of souls was a magic the mystical dragon used for fun. Nidhug has many methods to fill his boredom, sometimes he creates a very great natural disaster, sometimes he creates a virus that can spread and kill many lives, and he can even turn other humans into tools to carry out massacres just for fun.

    "There are so many natural disasters and disease outbreaks that have occurred in this world. All of this is nothing but Nidhug's doing for fun. Finally in 1480 for the first time Game of the Destiny was held. Since then Nidhug no longer does damage as he pleases. his heart, he only did that when the representative of the human race failed the mission he was given!" explained George at length.

    "You mean?" asked Dante curiously.

    George explains that Game of the Destiny has several missions that will be determined by Nidhug. Each race will have a different mission, which if they are complete they will get a point, and if they fail then Nidhug will immediately give punishment by giving a small disaster to their home world.

    "The fire prince managed to get the highest points in the game, but he also failed several times in completing the missions that were given. It had an impact on the human world. I think some of it might be things you know," said George.

    Dante frowned.

    "The cholera epidemic that occurred in 1817-1823, is a punishment for the failure of the prince of fire to complete one of his missions!" George explained.

    Dante was astonished to hear that.

    "Does that mean every disaster that happens in this world is the intervention of Nidhug?" asked Dante to be sure.

    George confirmed it. The old man testified that almost all natural disasters and tragedies of mass death that had ever occurred were the work of the mystical dragon.
