Nobody reacted to this silent murder, in fact, no one noticed. Blood splattered around as the onyx haired man’s blade stayed inside the poor chef’s throat. He gently pulled it out and went behind the bar and kneeled down, after which a yellow light started glowing.
What the fuck!? Did that just seriously happen?!
Andrey silently lurked behind one of the columns that held on to the weight of the construction.
The tall courtesy figure stood up from the dead body and Andrey noticed a relieved smile on his face. Then he simply moved to the closest person to him and swung his blade for a deadly attack.
To the mysterious figure, a black blade crossed his and stopped him from assaulting another person.
“No!” Andrey growled.
The man’s face had sharp features and a handsome look, but what immediately grabbed the black-dressed battlemage’s attention was the color of the eyes that hid underneath a few locks of his black hair.
So unnatural… his le
“Because at midnight they revive again. If you remember during our battle I told you there’s a spell that brings them to life.”“Hmm… Okay, who casts this spell and why?” Andrey asked. “What’s it matter? The fact that we have a mutual goal is what’s important.”“WHO IS IT, ANDREY MAKIYA!?” He rolled and ran following its legs, but only after four movements he couldn’t see them anymore. A quick jump sent him flying inside a house through the wall, as he dodged the smashing hit from the beast.“Ugh… I still gotta get a hang of this. I lack real experience.” He commented on his performance and remarked that crashing into a house iMakiya 84. Metal bullets

“Black and white world? This seems sweetly familiar.” Andrey mumbled.Andrey looked around and from the emptiness slightly people appeared like zombies. The same rotten corpses he had been seeing in his quest for assisting Aluca to free the souls of his people and most importantly the mission to take King Levi the Necromancer’s head.
“Black? What will happen if I don’t manage to open the chest by the time I wake up? Will I lose this opportunity forever?” Andrey asked, looking up at the ceiling that was now covered with many lines that marked the amount of ‘inner demons’ he had defeated.“You won’t wake up, don’t worry. You will be here forever until you o
“An endless dream. Isn’t that the very equivalent of death?” Andrey asked.“Who knows what death really is?” Black replied. Time had passed since Andrey and Aluca departed from the village of Undying. They were headed south. The next stop for them was the village Loom. Between the two villages a river, a lake, and a dead forest awaited. Surrounded by mountains, the path was wide and the forest seemed endless. There was no option to go left or right on the path. It would make the person end up climbing a mountain or meat some strange creature in the forest. A slight feeling of relief took over Andrey that his finger-snapping didn’t scare the animal away.I know it’s like a hundred and fifty meters away, but it’s pretty quiet here. I thought I might scare it.Latest Chapter “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. May the fun and games… continue…” The ancient spoke, as a voice coming from nobody knows where announced, “Round Two.” A dialogue box appeared before Andrey. 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” // Letters in BOLD are the main character’s telepathy to Andrey//// Letters in ITALIC BOLD are Andrey’s telepathy towards his Main Character/other characters//All of a sudden, The Maiden Class card recovered her senses and took another surprising action.“Oh, my dear! I was sure that you would look after us! I knew you had not forgotten us! All we had to do was believe in you and you would show mercy on our poor souls. The precious and gentle touch of the palm of your hand is called ‘Mercy’ and we experienced it to its finest momentum! May my prayer and wordings of the utmost-fine gratitude reach thee! An offering I will make as soo “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 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 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. 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. “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. Makiya 89. The hunt is on
