“But I thought we’d already accomplished that earlier?... Well, you know what? Whatever.”“Exactly my thought. But I still don’t trust you. And I still want to know your agenda, your plan, your abilities, and… your overall identity and how you became, or at least the people have framed you, a murderer. I can’t just let you walk inside our base with innocent children and people involved. Right now, they don’t know who they are. But I… I somewhat have heard you before from my father's informant and secretary. It might be possible that you were framed moments before we were trapped here inside Omen. Regardless, you need to talk about everything and tell me what you know and what you can give to my people.”Even though I had a ticking time bomb within me - since the elite members of the Crimson Guild were after my ass - what Elena asked for was reasonable. If I was in her position, I would’ve asked the same questions. And if someone claimed to be adventurers who wished to free the survivo
My Sniper System Chapter 153 - Trust and Distrust
“Just promise me one thing, Aoi. Please protect my people, unlike the Crimson Guild… who only cares about their image….”I had heard a lot of rumours about the Crimson Guild refusing to help any people inside those portals. But I shrugged it off and told myself that wasn’t the case, considering they were the highest paid guild and the most popular one all over the world. There was no way that the Crimson Guild would choose who they saved. Then again, Elena, the daughter of the prime minister, told me otherwise.I also knew that there was some conflict between the prime minister and the Crimson Guild. It was something involving the shift of power over our country and the involvement of the United Nations. Since I was just an average civilian, I had no idea about it… Not until Vulcan, Akihiko, and Doctor Maruki told me some details they knew. “That’s the first time I’ve heard that, Elena. What exactly happened between the Crimson Guild and you…. Especially to your father?”Elena paused
My Sniper System Chapter 154 - A Sound Plan
A long and dreadful pause entered our conversation. I didn’t notice the time, but we were talking for an hour inside this house. But since Hina and I were resting for the time being and fought no monsters right now, maybe this wasn’t too bad after all. However, we had a time limit bound around our necks. And the moment that the Crimson Guild elite adventurers or the monsters residing around this place breached this place before we could even escape, Hina’s family and our lives would be endangered. The fate of the world and the possible war was within our hands. “Working together is going to be a big problem for the two of us. But if I have to do it… for your family and for the people’s well being. But if worse comes to worst, and I saw you killing our people, then I will have no other choice but… to present myself to the Crimson Guild…”“Save the people more than help me. Yeah, I get it. I would do the same thing,” I said, interrupting Elena’s words. “Don’t worry about it. Betraying

Backstory. 14 years ago(Aoi’s Point of View)____________________________Hina stormed inside her room after showing her report card to her parents… When we showed our report cards to her parents. Hina’s mother compared her to me, who had better grades than her - than the rest of the students in our school. She knew that presenting them to her parents would lead to this moment. However, Hina steeled her heart and braced herself for whatever was about to come. And it did come inside our house. Regardless of the matter, Hina faced her consequences head on and cried alone inside her room. But at the end of the day, she still had me. And maybe, just maybe, I want to be a part of her life as well… just like good old days. The Dean called both of our attention. That Dean wished to congratulate me, while they wanted to call Hina about her grades hanging on the ledge. That was the school’s regulations. And that marked the chaotic event inside our home.As the door shut upstairs, I was left

Backstory (continuation) (Aoi’s point of view) _______________________ After what happened inside the living room, I couldn’t help but check Hina upstairs. I knew that she had changed and became cold hearted while talking to me. But Hina was still my sister. And despite what had happened between the two of us, Hina will always be my little step sister. There was not a thing I wished to change that reality. As I climbed the steps of the narrowed living room, the squeaks from the wooden floor announced my appearance. My sweat drenched my clothes as I crept closer and closer to Hina’s room. A weeping sound echoed at the other side of the staircase, belonging to the girl who was the only one present upstairs. After a few moments, which felt like a decade, I finally arrived on top of the place and came face to face with Hina’s door… It was Hina’s room. The crying sounds of a girl continued reverberating throughout the upper floor. And since this house was not large enough as it sounded

Bonus Chapter Icarus’ Perspective Ten years before joining the Elite team of the Crimson Guild ____________________ Icarus. My mum named me that after the famous story about Icarus and Daedalus who tried reaching the sun with their make-shift wings. Dad died when I served in the military. The terrorists killed him, but my dad and his team won the battle. But even that information wasn't disclosed from the public and from us. A representative of the Queen's government and the United Nation's Defence agency went into our house and disseminated that data to my mum and me. Mum told me that I had to believe what the man with high ranking status mentioned about dad until I could reveal the truth. And since I was still young and dumb, I didn't mind it and still believed dad's death was caused by the terrorists. When my old man died when I was six years old, he left a letter, telling me to become a man that was willing to protect the people in need. But despite what he wished for me, I ne

Only the queen - The United Kingdom - and the United Nations were aware of the matter.Maybe it wasn’t the terrorist behind this plot… Even though it was clear as day those dangerous organisations could’ve done it, my guts told me otherwise. But even so, I still went with the flow and thought that the terrorist was behind it, while keeping the situation mind that something might be pulling the strings. And the death of my dad was related to this event happening in the academy.A known terrorist must be behind this. There was no doubt behind it. If it wasn’t that, I didn’t know how to

Aoi Two’s Perspective (not the original Aoi, but the other one who lived in a different yet similar life.) __________________________________ I forgot the last time I tasted good food. How many days had it been since the time I had been luring and fighting these beasts? Two months? No. Two months were short in my calendar. If I had to guess it right, I was up here for eight months fighting and evading these monsters. I fed myself with arcane from my surroundings and made it my nutrition. Although magic particles were different from real nourishments, it was enough to keep me functional. And my body was still in top shape. I also forced myself to sleep only for an hour and wake up dodging those projectiles for the umpteenth time. There was nothing inside my mind but evading these ambushes, hoping I could, at least, strike back with my rifle. But the time never arrived. The lizards weren’t the only creatures present in my vicinity. There were more of them. If I had to name a few, t

There was nothing wrong about it. So I told Hina about our current situation and encouraged her to attend the school we were once going to. But I refused the scholarship and dropped out of university. College life should be something that everyone desires to have, especially us students. But for me, I wanted to see Hina’s parents live for another day. Hence, the approval of being an adventurer in a guild.But I didn’t apply for being a regular adventurer. Regular adventurers were tasked to defeat a certain number of portals in return they will be given cheques and salaries from it. The more portals defeated, the larger amount of cash will be rewarded.

Volume 3 - Epilogue Aoi Two’s Perspective (not the original Aoi, but the other one who lived in a different yet similar life.) __________________________________ As far as I remembered, my parents died when I was little. When I was six years old. I didn’t need money, a lavish life, or things that I could call mine. There was only one thing I wanted, and that was my parents. I wanted them to live. But with one sudden moment, my wish turned around and burned me alive. My parents were killed by monsters, not humans. The fiend was around a hundred feet tall, and the village we were living in took the invasion. They were reptiles. These monsters had the shape of a dragon, which was technically a lizard with wings. According to the internet, unidentified beasts kept appearing from nowhere, and there were others who fought against them. Those individuals were not the police officers. I believed they were called guilds. And as I glanced around me, the news and other people claimed that t

Thank you.)_____________________“That’s why I need to become stronger. And you’re not strong enough! Even though we’re the only ones who have this system, you didn’t try to break your own wall and learn more about it! There could’ve been portals that you could eliminate to gain more levels, and yet you chose to idle around and did nothing about it!” What did he mean when this motherfucker told me I wasn’t strong enough?! I trained with Vulcan, which Akai killed. Did he not think of that?!”“Your face is telling me that you met with Vulcan… That you trained with him.

Hina’s Perspective_____________________“It’s okay… Don’t cry. There, there…. It’s going to be okay… It’s going to be alright….”And then, I said the words. “I forgive you… I forgive you, Aoi… You don’t have to cry anymore… It’s going to be okay…”I said the words Aoi wanted to hear. Even though he was Obsidian, the face of my brother carved itself on the man beside me. It was as if Aoi two was a dog barking and biting people left and right only to realise he needed someone’s help… He needed my help. And now he had faced his fear and listened to the words Aoi two wanted to hear, his ears calmed down. His ears discerned what was important.‘But what now? What are we going to do now?’ I thought, and looked at the downcasted face of Aoi two. As if knowing the question inside my head, Aoi two returned my gaze and uttered, “I know… you are confused. But we don’t have much time now. As soon as I fought Aoi in this world, the entities behind these portals were already high on alert. And I
Chapter 234 - Regret
Hina’s Perspective _____________________ “Come with me.” With one phrase, the masked man offered his hand to me. He used his other hand to lift Aoi’s body and cast a spell that changed our surroundings. “I’ll show you something.” Obsidian showed no signs of hostility. And the voice behind the masked man soothed my ears as if it was some sort of music with perfect beat and lyrics. I gazed at the man’s hand, wondering if I should take it. I had seen something like this before. But something was off. And at the same time, there was a peculiar feeling of calm and genuineness. He almost reminded me of my brother. In spite of these feelings twirling inside my mind, I shook my head and answered, “I don’t… want to... I won’t leave…. My brother! You… Want… to kill him… I’ll…. Stay by…. His side…. Until you… can kill me…” There was a chance that the masked man wanted to pull me apart from Aoi. And I never wanted that to happen. The moment the masked man heard my words for the umpteenth ti
Chapter 233 - I Don't Want Him to Die...
Hina’s Perspective_____________________All my life, Aoi did nothing but help me with my problems, regardless if it involved him or me. As long as he noticed, which he always did, my brother would rush towards me and help. Aoi really forced himself so hard until he could see me smile. And even though I pushed him countless times, he continued crawling his way back in my arms. I could still remember those days when we were together, especially when these portals hadn’t shown up. Life was simple back then. If only Aoi’s parents didn’t die, maybe he could’ve lived the life he deserved. But his life was taken away by a murderer and the portal. And now, we were given the chance to confront the man who stole his life away. But even so, we couldn’t defeat him. I… couldn’t do a thing. Aoi did everything he could to stop the madman from hurting everyone, despite knowing none of the strangers, but he failed. And the only thing I could do was to watch him suffer.Maybe if I trained hard enoug
Chapter 232 - I lost
As I glanced on my side, Hina still wanted to fight. She stood up and used the rock beside him, but her legs kept shaking as if an earthquake struck us. But the ground remained still. There was no earthquake. And when I appraised her status, my system described her with a fatigue ailment in addition to her drained mana right beside his health bar.[Iron Maiden has been deactivated. Obsidian is too powerful to be compressed!]Those were the words that marked our doom. The moment Obsidian broke free from the [Iron Maiden] all hope was lost. I had no idea how to win now, especially when my sister was on the ground. She couldn’t me right now. But Hina had already assisted me until her body fell on the ground. Although she desperately forced herself to move and stand with the help of a rock, Hina couldn’t cast any more magic and would remain sluggish until she could recover her mana. Obsidian stood on the other side of the map, unscathed and unbothered from the spell. The [Iron Maiden] wa
Chapter 231 - Iron Maiden
Time wasn’t on our side. Obsidian tried hitting us with his sniper, but Hina continued lifting me up and creating walls in front of me. It was as if she was reading my movements. When the masked man pulled the trigger and launched a set of bullets in my direction, I went to the side despite having no platform for me to step on. But I trusted my sister. By the time I jumped above ground, I trusted my instincts and rolled on the side. Like I had said, there was no ground to catch me when I fell. But as soon as I gyrated my body, a floor made of soil immediately materialised and cushioned my feet. The next thing I knew, I tumbled to the side and evaded almost every bullet coming in my way. The shells that I couldn’t dodge still didn’t hit me. The moment those leads from the masked man could take me out, Hina summoned a wall in front of me and protected my face.I didn’t have the time to thank my sister and carried onwards with the fight. Time was also our enemy. So when I found an open
