The buildings were aligned in a circle around the small plaza. Andrey and Alex were cloaked and waiting, leaning against the two-story building at which the higher-up pieces of the military puzzle were staying the night.
Taking the head of a general was the real goal. Claiming it for the media and displaying Prince Alextraz Strazjester to be much more than what people took him for.
But the fact that the building was swarming with higher ups was a detail the commoner they interrogated had failed to mention.
Andrey and Alex had their heartbeats rising as the sound of thousands of desperate prisoners’ steps beating against the ground, finally liberated, were running out for vengeance and blood. Their frail and weak bodies, close to abolished by hunger, could now finally feast on whatever they laid their
Excited to see more powerful warriors? :)

“No!” Alex screamed as the arrow exploded in a purple color at Andrey’s location. “Your friend is quite capable, Your Highness!” Roy mocked, as he made use of the situation and grabbed Alex by the hand, activating his ring’s power. Lightning travelled to Roy’s hand, charging the ring with The Prince’s royal mana. The sudden drainage of strength brought the thunder-god to his knees. “That’s right, my Prince… bow before me.” Roy chuckled slightly, still draining the royal power. “How… dare you… Mock a Royal’s clarity! STAINING IT! WITH YOUR!” The Prince’s eyes glowed stronger, as lightning bounced all over his body, making him look much more like a body made of electricity rather than a human being, “FILTHY HANDS!”

“I… I- I can’t… move.” Andrey mumbled. “Ihhm comphhlhehthehly… pahalyed.” Alex spoke, hardly moving his mouth. Roy spoke, “Very smart of you. You figured out I can cancel magic, so you used physical objects to immobilize me. Too bad, but I’ll be getting reinforcements anytime now. And I don’t wish this even to my worst foes, but I think my lady will see you as well… oh god, what waits for you when she sees what you’ve done to me.” The knight laughed through his struggles, entertained by the images of what he believed would happen to his foes. Alex and Andrey made a feeble attempt at speaking, but unrecognizable speech was all that came out of their mouths, as the paralysis really had filled them up. “Oh, yeah, you’

Different voices spoke in an echoing pattern. “He’s not been in his room all this time, as we thought!” “We should be ashamed!”“We underestimated him yet again!” “What is more absurd, I believe, is that the people were all ready to rebel against him, and if they had done so, they would have thrown away their best-fit for a king.” “We were ready to abandon the thing we have been so in search of!” “People are blind. People are weak. They are so frail that someone needs to apply a little force to them, and they follow that person no matter if just.” Andrey ma
Makiya 241. The New War
“I did my part, as we had spoken. I have gathered plenty of scrolls with engraved mana and spells on them. All status related to our army’s power is here as well.” Eloise spoke as they went into a huge room full of screens with various information readied, in wait for someone to read it out loud as a report. “Ellie… You’ve done so well!” Alex complimented his sister, walking next to her and resting his hand on her shoulder. “Indeed, you have, Ellie. Good job.” It was easy to notice that Andrey’s smile had a bigger impact on her compared to The Prince’s words and gestures. While Alex and Eloise discussed strategies, counting the numbers of their army, and other war-related things, Andrey only observed their communication and kept silent. Half an hour had passed with v
Makiya 242. A Makiya
“ You heard my callout, Andrey Makiya. I didn’t expect you to bring friends.” A familiar voice spoke within Andrey’s head. “Reinareth…” Andrey mumbled. “What did you say?” Alex and Eloise didn’t spend a second to ask. The battle-mage’s reply came with a delay. “I think this is where you two should stop. I will go on alone.” Reinareth. They might want your kind for the sake of self-satisfaction and daily needs, but you should know that I come from another place. Your callout? Maybe that’s what woke me up during my meditation a few days ago.
Makiya 243. Still better than nothing
“I see being a part of the Dragon Cult was a condition to be eligible to help you. What is it that the Makiya wants?” Reinareth’s manly voice wondered. This guy. I thought he was not the talkative type, but he really does seem to speak a lot. Maybe because he has found an interest in me? Whatever. I will try to make the best use of this. “Rein. Is the Dragon Cult interested in war?” “Of course… I shouldn’t have expected a question of meaning, rather than one suited to the tongue of a human. You disappoint me, Makiya. I did not expect you to have an interest in war.” “No, that was not really the question. It’s a question related to humanity as a whole.” “Why would I want to help humanity at all?” &
Makiya 244. The Perfect Plan
“Yes, Your Highness! No unusual activity today either!” These words repeated day after day, for two, if not three times; morning, midday, evening. Consecutively checking on the imprisoned dragons - the fuel of this world - Alextraz only became more suspicious, the safer it seemed. A week of repetitive checks on the dragon protectors resulted in The Prince’s final decision, “How is it today? Anything unusual? Everything’s fine?” “Yes, Your Highness! No unusual activity today either!”“Give me your diamond sword, soldier.” Alex reached his hand out. The man on guarding duty was around thirty of age, promising mana pool, and obviously a very experienced mage - should he need to act against
Makiya 245. Ambush... Successful!
Andrey’s eyes widely opened, as his mouth went agape. “Th---this can’t be!” He stuttered. Eloise pushed Andrey’s shoulder and asked him with concern in a gentle tone. “What happened to you?! Get back to yourself!” Andrey gulped hard and regained his senses, thanks to The Princess’ push. “The plan is a failure! We are completely surrounded!” “Nothing has failed yet, Andrey. I can feel it! My intuition speaks to me - I know that today we will win!” Eloise spoke encouragingly, although she did think of something else as well. ‘ Even though I haven’t lied… but what is this uneasy feeling that I have in my chest…?’ Alextraz channeled lightning through his body and proudly yelled. “Show yourself, unless you want to die without even being recognized as a human being!”

“Immortal douche, my ass.” Amryr’s voice sounded behind the cracking noise.Andrey could see only darkness after the shattered mirror-like world of Golehanei’s game, his young student being his light in the confusing, lightless tunnel.Inhaling deeply, Andrey opened his eyes. The sight of the ancient being rotting right in front of him was the answer to the many questions that had just arisen. A black-and-white splash of energy cracked open the shell just seconds after Lord Red Eye’s awakening.“Amryr…” Andrey whispered.The loyal follower’s contrasting mana widened, making a splash, completely opening half of the shell.“Well, what can I say? The shell grew a lot from the moment that Golehanei noticed we had an ace up our sleeve.” Onyx smiled.Andrey’s eyes wandered from person to person, landing lastly on Dea’n’ha.“I see. Your eye technique. But… what happened?” Just as he spoke, a strange tingle in his right palm pulled his gaze. “The Abyssal Crack Magic… It resonated…” As he obs

Oh, great! If I get his characters killed before mine die, then I’ll be the obvious winner, won’t I? Does this mean that I won’t die even if my Main Character dies? If I win first, then the game is over, right? The Thief Class struggled as his neck cracked multiple times due to the twist he did on his own. The opposing Knight Class screamed in an angry tone, “This is a living abomination! Die!” Seeing how The Thief Class’ body wouldn’t let go of the mighty sword, punches started raining on his face. The armored gloves dealt a lot of damage to the poor Thief Class, but it didn’t really matter. He had no mind left to notify him of the pain. All he had was one thing - desire to kill.

“Let me see how you fare now. This one can’t be decided on sheer luck, descendant.

Yeah, like hell, this one’s gonna take you down even the better. “Round Two. For this round you may pick only two cards. Mage Thief Knight UNAVAILABLE CARDS: Demon Maiden”

“The game… begins, challengers.” The start was announced by a mysterious voice and all of a sudden Andrey could see through the eyes of his main character. Interesting. Somehow I am seeing both what she sees and what I see as well. How does the human brain even manage to endure the simultaneous cognition stress? // Letters in BOLD are the main character’s telepathy to Andrey// My Master, what shall I do now? A most seducing and alluring voice resounded within Andrey’s mind. Oh! Is she actually capable of reasonable communication? Impressive. // Letters
261. The game begins
Conjured by nothingness in the air, five cards appeared, twice the size of a human. The terrain reshaped and all of a sudden, it appeared that Andrey was standing in a theater. Looking around, he could see many empty seats, but more importantly, the scene was incredibly vast. The things that were easily seen were a well in the middle, a tower next to it, a few chairs along with a wooden table. They seemed rather medieval and old, but that seemed to be the idea behind the whole game. Playing a medieval role in a theatrical scenery. “We already started!? How about you tell me what the game is about first, eh!?” Andrey shouted, his eyebrows narrowed due to his annoyance. Golehanei’s voice replied to him with a cold tone. “Be not so rushful, Andrey Makiya… de
260. Inner World-Shell
Besides the sound of an incoming wind torrent, Andrey appeared like a black thunder, piercing through the clouds, right after jumping off from the conjured black-and-white tower. After restoring his vision past the clouds, he immediately navigated at the ancient human, who was patiently waiting in his cradle. Swinging just slightly. A massive barrage of a hundred walls of rock erupted from the ground, creating a mighty shielding to protect Golehanei from the incoming battle-mage. The rumbling noise in addition with the ancient being’s impatience slowly arising worked as proof that Andrey had been passing through his defense effortlessly. A sword landed right next to the ancient’s throat. Stopped not by Andrey’s will, but instead by the incredibly precise and strong grip of Golehanei’s finger tips.
259. Life and Death are one and the same
Andrey put on a little smile in an attempt to mock the man, who claimed to be greater than them. “Does the superior being deal with conflicts with force or with wisdom? Time we found out, I say.” He expected his taunting words to provoke the being, and at least see an eyebrow get narrowed, but instead Golehanei spoke calmly. “Young Andrey Makiya, when wisdom finds its end, the forces of power take over. Such would seem to be the case, descendant.” A fist coming straight at Andrey’s face was immediately countered as the red-eyed battle-mage deflected the incoming knuckles by punching his opponent’s arm in the triceps with an upper-cut. Although unexpected, suddenly Golehanei forced his arm downwards, overpowering the fist, in an attempt to strike Andrey’s head, as if to slash it with a blade.
258. The hunter becomes The hunted
“Dea’n’ha!” Andrey startled at the sorceress. “Y-yes!” She replied in a frail voice. “Can you communicate with this golden-dressed freak!?” Dea’n’ha lowered her head and spoke. “I can only convert information with my Abyssal Crack magic… I can’t really drain the language abilities out of it. It’s like attaining something from the void.” “Tsk.” Andrey clicked his tongue and looked at the buffed, half-naked man, who had only black pants, golden belt, and a golden collar that went all the way from his neck to covering half his back and chest. The ancient human had a golden ring on his left pointing finger, and dark brown leather bracelets with gold imbued in them on both his wrists.
