Will’s perspective

__________________

Maybe we were wrong about Aoi. The media might have framed this young man to cover of up something. It didn’t make sense that the media and the Crimson Guild wanted to target Aoi just because he was existing. There must be something more about this. It was just a hunch, and I might be wrong. But I knew that I couldn’t shy away from my guts. It was my conscience speaking. And taking down someone who was willing to protect others before himself was something a murderer or a culrpit would do. Even though Aoi could be making up a front, Elena, the daughter of the prime minister with a prowess of observing people’s status and desires, knew something was off.

I told that possibility to my teammates, telling them that Aoi could be someone innocent compared to what the media had described him. My allies thought the same and believed my words without doubting Aoi or me. Icarus, who was the most heated guy in the party, reluctantly nodded his head. But a

    Back to Aoi’s Perspective________________I didn’t know if I still had the chance to defeat Akai and the rest of the Crimson Guild. Will and the others were by no means weak. But if they came after me with their numbers, I knew I could be easily defeated even after taking out some of them from the fight. But there was one way for me to ensure victory, and that was…“Am I ready to kill these people?” I wanted to kill Akai. I wanted to take him out from this world and reduce the weed besides the summonings of these portals. If I let this madman lose, Akai could kill more people with his twisted mind. He can't be left alive. And the only one who could stand against him was… meBut I had no idea if I was ready to kill someone with my own hands. I had never done this before. And as much as possible I never wanted to take someone’s life, besides Akai… Well, even if I was talking about Akai, if there was a way to punish him with the law, I would prefer that. But we were inside the portal.

    I was like a fly. No matter how hard Icarus swung his sword or even Oscar tried stabbing me with his dagger, they caught nothing but air. The thick cloud occluded everyone’s vision, except for me. Although Akai still refused to move, I’d bet every Yen I had that he would still miss his shots regardless if he tried.I commanded Oculus to generate the same smoke spreading across the plain. Even though the little machine didn’t have any abilities that could create dark clouds, Oculus mimicked my spell and finally had the skill to make such gas. After everything they had, the Crimson Guild couldn’t fan the smog away. So I still had the upper hand.I would also like to add that the smoke wasn’t harmless to our body. Although, naturally, this smog could destroy our lungs the longer we inhale it. But it was the other way around. This fume wasn’t toxic nor gave therapeutic effects. It just sealed any vision from any living beings affected from the radius. But there were still more ways than

    ‘What a fucking polite little bastard,’ I whispered to myself, as I came out with a question.Akai cleared his throat and narrated everything he fucking wanted to tell me. “Let me just elucidate my purpose for this. One, I don’t know how long those tranquilisers last. But if my… adventurers wakes up, we will run you down like a fucking truck crashing against a bicycle.”“Cool. That’s totally reasonable,” I answered.“Second, I still have something important news to tell you. The one you’ve heard about Vulcan is just the tip of the iceberg. If you know what the Crimson Guild’s missions are, maybe you’ll see us in a different light.”“Haha… You’re pushing your luck, asshole.”“Third, you seem like you’re not the type of guy who would kill me that easily… even after hearing what had happened to Vulcan. If I were in your shoes, I would’ve already killed the murderer. But since you’re still acting like a childish hero, it became too easy for me to push you in the corner…”“You see, Aoi, Hu

    “Now that you’ve had your turn, it’s my shot now. Aoi, why are you trying so hard to save these people when you only care about your sister’s life? It’s not like you’re doing this for charity, for fame, money, power, or to someone, like a partner. Hell, you don’t even look like a person who has a superhero complex like other people… Why?”“I’ve lost my parents before from a portal… and my best friend inside my school. Monsters had killed them… Those monsters inside those portals killed them. Technically, someone killed my parents with a gun and afterward killed the monster who was chasing us. But that doesn’t matter. Anyway, when I had the chance to protect Midori and received my powers, I was too scared… I… My body froze, too afraid to use the gun. Before I knew it, Midori was down on the ground, and I kept running and running and running… I kept blaming myself for it. It lessened right now, but it’s still haunting me even now. It is until I realise that… I… Maybe saving others from

    “Now that has gotten out of the way, it’s time for my last question. Aoi, what are you going to do now after learning what I did to your parents? I offer you a position in the Crimson Guild, similar to what Will has. With much authority, you could save anyone who I choose to save. It would be a waste to not have you around. Besides that, you will receive every benefit that we have, including what you want, be it money or power. And since you’d get your hands on your precious dough, you would have enough money to take care of Hina’s parents and give your sister a life she wishes for…. Including you. What do you say, boy? Are you in or are you out?”It was a stupid question. Joining the Crimson Guild was a no-brainer! After all the hard work I did a few months back was equivalent to working for them within two weeks of eliminating those portals and introducing myself to the world. But even though Akai wasn’t the one who killed my parents or Vulcan, I wouldn’t enter his guild. Not in a

    “I know!” Will answered. “Akai, I have seen you struggle to protect people. If there’s anyaway we could stop this, that must be our optimal solution! The Crimson Guild is in dire need of a helping hand! And I believe Aoi is worth it to become a high-calibre adventurer on our side! Our fight belongs to the portal, not one another! It’s not worth it!” “I know. And I’m doing this for everyone, not just for myself! These people need a reason to believe in our guild! The Crimson Guild! So if I take back what I have already claimed Aoi to be, these people would question our guild’s image. And if those people knew that portals could kill them regardless if they’re inside or outside, they would panic. Hence, the destruction of our organisation! The destruction of the Crimson Guild. The destruction of hope! And I will never let that happen! I’d rather have him killed with my own hands than let the guild crumble!” Akai explained. “Don’t you understand, Will? Aoi is a nuisance for us! I know he

    Even though it looked like we were winning, Akai still had the upper hand. And until something incredible would happen, there was nothing much we could do but to pray he would be the first one to tire. But from the looks of it, that thought remained as a wishful dream.Will had already instructed his four allies about the plan without even verbally commanding them. With just his eyes, the old man relayed his information and controlled the battlefield… For a moment, we had a chance. And if we could successfully perform all of these steps somehow, this plan could win us the battle.Our only advantage at this point was our sheer numbers and individual powers. And since I was introduced to this team, my teamwork was the most vital thing about it. So I needed to make my shot count before I could even pull the trigger. A thousand bullets would not guarantee our success, but a bullet that could hit my target would.Icarus finally used his blazing sword and desperately waved it against Akai.

    “It’s all over, Aoi. I won this match.”Akai finally aimed at my sister and seized his already gigant advantage to close in the battle. I could surrender now and offer my life, but I knew that leaving Akai would mean death to my sister and the entire world.Akai left me with no other choice but to reveal my position and hit him from this angle. By announcing where I would shoot my sniper, Akai would know where to hunt me down, considering I would expose my body for him. But thanks to this situation, there was nothing I could do to stop him. So I bet every last mana on the shell and tried shooting Akai.However, my guts told me I would miss it. And I did. The moment I pulled the trigger, Akai threw his katana towards me and planned on using his fist to crush my sister’s throat. With his bare hands alone, Akai could kill my sister. And the bullet thrown in my direction was sufficient enough to block my attack,Launching another shell would take at least two seconds. And I needed to take

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

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.

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

    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

    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
