"The great city of Dahüd is also know as the gangster's paradise. Because of its unique golden rule.
'duels are legal, standoffs are allowed, Violence is permitted as far far as there is a valid reason and death isn't a result. There are official standoff referees in every area that make sure the duels and standoffs are conducted properly'
Another great thing about this great city is the king"
Orie talked enthusiastically as he led through the new city they had just appeared in.
"For a city with orderly violence, this place seems a little too quiet" Shiro said as he looked around the empty streets.
"Yeah" Natsumi added
"And my powers aren't working"
As soon as Orie heard those words his eyes lit up with fear.
"Those were the same words I said..." He muttered as he looked around
"... when I was in the game"
"We need to hide" Orie said as he motioned in the direction of a house by his right
"Why?" Shiro asked in confusion
"Don't ask any questions" Orie said as he tried to get everyone to move.
"Just get in and hide"
But everyone was reluctant to follow his instructions. They wondered why he would tell them to hide when they were more than capable of handling any incoming danger.
"It seems you do not understand the gravity of our situation"Orie said as he continued trying to push them into the house
"What do you mean?" Yamato asked, and Orie replied him with a question
"Are your powers working right now?" and the answer was"No" from everyone
Orie was just about to say something else when he was interrupted by gun shots in the air.
"Oh sh*t" as he tried to quickly get everyone into the empty house.
"Come on come on come on, we ain't got no time" he said as he moved his hands up and down as if to hasten their movement.
But they were not fast enough. Before Orie could enter, a black saloon car drove by and someone from inside it unleashed three gun shots into Orie's back.
He got into the house and shut the door but instead writhing in pain, he stood in front of everyone as if he didn't just receive three hot bullets in his back.
"The next time I tell you to get inside..." He said with anger in his breath
"...get inside..."
"...and don't ask any questions"
"I do not know how to take responsibility if you die"
They felt sorry for not listening to Orie's warnings but aside from the feelings of sorry, they were very confused.
"What's going on?"
"Where are we?"
"Why are we being attacked?"
"Who has it in for us?"
"And how the f*** is Mr. Addison still standing straight after all those shots"
These questions flowed out of the lips of everyone in the room, and many more kept flowing out until Orie yelled "OK!! THAT'S ENOUGH!!"
"The simple explanation is..." he said, as he motioned to keep everyone quiet.
"We are in a game"
"A game about the beginning of Dahüd"
"And how it became the way it is today"

"About two an a half decades ago, this city used to be part of the great 'Freeland'. It went by a different name that the people of today don't use anymore. The nation of Freeland was a great proponent of 'true freedom' and the leaders tried to rule with laws that were more lax than in other nations. But it didn't turn out well. Not long after it was founded, it became completely lawless and the only rule was survival of the fittest. It was a very hard time for those with no access to magic. They lived in constant fear and torment, and their standard of living was way below average. They wished fervently for a change and their prayers were answered when people's powers started going off in a part of the country. The powers of people went off irregulary. It lasted for minutes, hours, or just a few seconds but the 'revengers' risked any opportunity that came their way and struck. This started a long war in the nation. The revengers armed themselves with weapons of all so
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Powerless?
By the time they were done setting up, more than five minutes had gone by. "Their powers have returned" Yamato said "How long until they go off again?" He asked "It's better to just wait them out and move when they are powerless" he suggested but Orie disagreed with him. "It's four hours until the next power shut down" he said "If we wait that long, we risk failing the game" "I forgot to tell you this but by the time the game began, the Metas already knew where source of their powerlessness was coming from" "This game is not espionage" "It's pure violence" "But don't worry" "It's not like bullets don't work on mages" Before anyone could say anything, Shiro and Mia darted out of the house screaming "LET'S GOOO!!" "Aren't you worried about them getting into trouble?" Natsumi asked, looking at Orie. "No, not really" Orie answered as he made his way to the door "This is a game" "The fight doesn't start until we leave this street" "and
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Classic game shi**
As Orie and the others rushed forward, every Meta on the scene immediately turned their attention towards them. Majority of the Metas were fire elementals and they all had a simple pattern. First they would each shoot multiple small flames, then they would shoot big balls of flames, then they would raise their hands in unison and cause flames to rise from the ground everywhere. When the Metas fired the small flames, Orie blocked with his shield and kept running. When they shot the big balls of flames, he evaded and kept on advancing. When they caused flames to rise from the ground, he paid no attention to it and continued running until he got to one of the Metas. Then he immediately unpinned several grenades and dropped them on the floor. BOOM!!! Everyone also followed Orie and did as he did, but when they close to a Meta, they used their guns and swords to attack instead of dropping grenades at their feet and attempting suicide bombing. As they were unleashing their a
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD The good, the bad and the baby
Even Orie was shocked and it was apparent on his face. "This wasn't how it went the last time" he thought He was sure that there was a few more waves before this dialogue but that wasn't the case at the moment. He looked back at the wave of Metas that were behind him and noticed something different; they had stopped advancing and were slowly backing away. This was a sign that their powers had gone off. Orie then turned to his companions and said "Alright let's go" and they all band together and started walking past the numerous identical looking revengers. Shiro wanted to ask a question about their looks but he could just picture Orie in his mind yelling "CLASSIC GAME SHI**!!" and he kept quiet. They hadn't walked from the army when the leader called Orie back saying "WAIT!!" "You'll need this" he added as he tossed a car key to Orie and ran back to join his army who had begun advancing on the powerless Metas. "He gave you the keys" Shiro said "Then whe
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD The real Nega
It was like a hangover after a raging night party. Their heads were aching and their eyes were heavy, so much that they couldn't make out were they were. It was as if they had too much of 'that good wine' and the choking smell in the room made things worse. "This smells like Nega" Orie groaned as he managed to get up "What's that?" Shiro asked as he also stood up "It's actually a 'who" Orie replied "And he's the king of Dahüd" Slowly, everyone recovered from the drowsiness and were able to see clearly. Before them was a man sitted on what could only be described as a throne. It's cushions were pure black and every other part of it was made of gold. The man sitting on it was just as magnificent. His skin was gleaming dark, the brown in his eyes were as the middle part of a sunflower, and his hair shot straight up and was flat at the top. There was no jewelry on him but the mere sight of him brought gold and diamonds into one's thought. Just by looking at him,

"I know that you are not one to lie to me but I'm finding it hard to believe that what you're telling me is true" Orie said "If a priest really died, I would've felt it and so would you and every other priest" "It's the one thing we share" "But that didn't happen, did it?" "That's what I'm trying to tell you" Nega replied "His death was confirmed yet I felt nothing" "But that's not even the worst part" he said "So what is the worst part?" Orie asked, then Nega stayed silent for a while before answering "His entire province" he said "Everywhere that received the blessing of his god is in great despair" "There has been drought from the southern borders of Dahüd down to the coastal areas of the continent and it is getting worse by the day" "It's quite normal" Orie replied "The drought will only last until a new priest succeeds him and that only takes a few days" he said as he placed his hand on Nega's shoulder. "Do you think I don't know

"Woe to those that make enemy of the priests of the mighty ones, for their fate is worse than death" "The damned shall mock them, and the hopeless shall look down on them with pity" "The sick will look healthy in comparison to them, and the shall look alive in their presence" "For they have made and enemy of the priest and in doing so, they have made an enemy of his god" These were the words spoken by Orie while he was held in chains in a small isolated room. There was barely enough light for someone to see around but there wasn't that much to see either. It was and quiet clean for a dark isolated room. There was no dirt, no bad odor, no rats. It was only him, some very strong chains and a guard who told him to shut up after he had just finished making a divine declaration. "One of the perks of being a priest..." Orie said as he stood up "...is that sometimes, we are required to make declarations before we take action" "This is so that whoever is making a m

"For a thousand years, I've waited" "For a thousand years, I've held on and anticipated" "For when this day shall come" "My plan is perfect" "There is no chance for failure" "On this day" "A Raiden shall fall" genji muttered as he looked down at Mia who was bound in chains before him. "You know I can hear everything you're saying, right?" Mia asked as she gave him a cold stare. There was nothing intimidating about his appearance, the sound of his voice was not one to strike fear in others. He looked like every other normal guy but his name was not one to be spoken in jest. 'Genji of the Order' was a name feared in the entire underground society. "Oh" Genji said in surprise "I thought you were still sleeping" he added "But it's not like you can do anything about it" "You're completely bound and weakened" "You can't oppose me in your current state" "How sure are you about that?" Mia asked "Very sur..." Before Genji could complet
