Hey Junrio. If you’re reading this letter, that means that I fucked up. I fucked up hard. I know that there are a lot of things that can happen in a dungeon. I know I’m not invincible as well. One way or another, there is a chance that I’d die. Especially because of this eagerness of mine to always be in the front lines. That’s why I need you to hold me back every time.I know that’s not possible. You’re my secretary and I am the lord of this city. There will be times when I simply won’t allow you to get in my way. That is the kind of love hate relationship that we have. It’s frustrating for you, I know. Not to worry though. In my death, I leave the ruling of Genesis city to you, my dear secretary. You’ve been more of it than me anyways so I believe that role should be yours to begin with. I won’t take no for an answer as well. This is my last will and testament so you better respect it as my secretary.Please guide the city the way you see fit. And whatever it is that would eventua
News of Asther’s death is made public a day after Junrio received the news. The whole of Genesis City is shocked as much as it is overwhelmed with sadness and grief. Asther was a good lord to them after all. One who treated the city with justice and fairness. Though the system isn’t perfect, there is little dissatisfaction to the way he runs things. That is how effective he is as a leader and, that is why there is much grieving in his passing.A great parade will be held in honor of the late lord of the city. There will be a monument of him built in the middle of the city’s square as well. Other events are also being held in honor of Asther. With a whole week being set to be the duration of the ceremony. Though this isn’t something that Arthur and his gang cares about.“What the hell is with that dungeon!”Arthur slammed his hands on the table, expressing his frustration right away. Some coffee spilled from Elliot’s cup as well as on Claire and Morgause’s tea. They are all drinking a
A shadowy figure entered a dimly lit room. The only source of light is the moon’s glow and even this offers but haunting silhouettes of everything that’s within that closed space. A perfect setup for the two individuals who can’t allow themselves to be seen by the light of day.“How did it go?” The person looking out the window asked.“Terrific.” Is the sarcastic remark of the second one. “They’re all as crap as I remember them to be.”“You make it sound like you haven’t even been part of the same group.” “I was. But then I’m reborn. Now I’m a higher lifeform compared to them.”“Whatever helps you sleep at night.” The person facing the window simply said. “Now, for the actual answer to my question.”“The chemical worked like you said it would. They all got paralyzed in a matter of seconds.” “Wonderful.” The window man said dryly. “And the bait?”“Sleeping peacefully in the lion’s den.” The other one replied. “I used hypnosis to force the desire of entering the dungeon inside his hea
Sylvie didn’t kill Elliot. The only thing she did is place him in a deep sleep. One where the human won’t be waking up from anytime soon. In the meantime, his body is left somewhere within a room that sits close to the throne room. Locked and secured of course in order to ensure that the human won’t try anything funny should he wake up earlier than expected. But this, in itself, is already problematic for Teach who is looking at the human that’s sleeping soundly.“Why didn’t you kill him right away?” The hybrid knight asked, his frows almost meeting in the middle as his eyes squinted as well.“There was something interesting in his head.” Sylvie said in a sly tone.“Interesting?”Sylvie offered a foxlike smile. As if she knows a deep secret. “As much as I want to tell it to you, it doesn’t seem like a matter I can discuss.”The thing is, even before she made her presence felt to Elliot, she already began reading his thoughts. When she does this, there are sometimes some other thoughts
[Genesis City – A day after Elliot’s disappearance.]The news of Elliot’s disappearance reached the new lord of Genesis City quickly. All because the nervous Claire reported it herself. She’s good friends with Elliot after all – close enough that they share the same bed on some nights. Enjoying each other’s company.Hence Arthur, along with Morgause, Lazaro and Kelzio, have been summoned by Junrio. Something which they cannot decline if they wish to graduate from the prestigious academy of the city. The thing is, they need to remain at the good side of the current lord. And with what happened to his predecessor, this need becomes a lot more powerful. With all five of them accepting the summons. Appearing at the dinning hall of the lord where all of them partook the same meal.“I’m glad that all of you are present and accounted for.” Junrio began.Honey roasted chicken is served in the middle of the table. Multiple ones to be exact. With a whole piece being shared for two individuals e
[Place: ???]Merlin found himself inside a dark place. Not a room nor any place that he’s familiar with. This is a place that is altogether new to him. A complete opposite of the white space where he met Requiem. All that’s here is darkness and, in its depths, a creature began to form.Right in front of merlin a whirlwind of crimson took shape. With a luminescent color, it’s no wonder that he can see it in the emptiness of this foreign place. He would’ve raised his guard already, only that Merlin can feel that whatever this is that’s taking shape, it isn’t a threat to him. In fact, it almost feels like a part of himself. And no sooner than when he thought this, the whirlwind came to a halt. Dissipating and leaving behind a creature that Merlin is familiar with. None other than Azazel.“Congratulations.” The demon said. “I didn’t think you had it in you at first but, here we are.”“So you’re still alive huh.” Merlin replied.“You’re not even going to be surprised huh. I expect no less
Sylvie’s new toy woke up from his sleep. After two whole days of being forced in a state of slumber once again, Elliot finally woke up. Not the way he wanted to though as he can smell his own urine that has wet his bed. Drenching the entirety of his pants as well in the same liquid.This cold feeling on his legs as well as the foul stench that lingered from his own urine quickly drew back his consciousness. Sharply to be exact as he is now sitting on his bed. And not long after this did he notice that he isn’t in his own room.He is in a foreign place. It doesn’t look like a prison though as the whole of the room is a lot like a vacation suite in Requiem. With a soft bed and some potted plants being placed inside the room. There is also a comfort room which he went to right away. Cleaning himself so as to reduce the stench that’s becoming more unbearable with every second.As he poured the cold water on his whole body, he began thinking of the things that he can still remember. Juggli
There are five kingdoms that govern the entirety of the human continent of the world. Even with earth being merged with Requiem, the world has turned more into the liking of the game than the real world. With the rules governing Requiem as well as the natural laws being assimilated into the real world.This brings me back to my first statement. There are five kingdoms in the human continent of the world. The first is Helios on the Southern border. Boasting of their might in terms of military prowess, this kingdom fought on the frontlines during the first war against the great demon lord Beelzebub.This reputation has been kept to date. With the strongest warriors usually coming from this kingdom. A fact that is guaranteed by the tournament of the five kingdoms where Helios always comes out as the champion.The second one is Avarreh on the northern border. A kingdom named after the mountain where it sits on top of. The whole community of this kingdom resides on top of the icy-cold moun
Three months has passed since Merlin waged war against the entirety of the human continent. Within this time, a lot of things have already happened. Though the first month is spent in relative silence, without much fighting and bloodbath, the same cannot be said for the months that followed after this.Though the first month could be called as calm and tame, what happened shortly after this is far from this description. There is no calm anymore. It is replaced, entirely, by a storm. One brought about by the demon lord Merlin Warlock and all of the vengeful spirit he has against the human race that has done noting but earn his utmost spite and resentment.Under the leadership of the demon lord, the forces of evil has advanced rapidly in the middle of the second month. What would’ve seemed as nothing more than a small wound proved to be a festering plague soon enough.This is all due to the tactical planning and advances made by Merlin. He didn’t target locations to occupy out of a whim
Every general that Merlin commands participated in a form of combat. This means that even Teach himself went to fight a couple of monsters along the way. The only difference between him and the others is that, Teach didn’t encounter any of the generals from the five continents. Call it luck if you will but he doesn’t actually take pride in this. Far from it, Teach is a bit disappointed that he doesn’t get to have the same kind of action that the others are getting.Gerant went and fought against a great general of the north who makes use of a cursed sword. The battle is a crucial part of the plan for the demon lord’s army to succeed because, with the victory of the blood ogre also comes the safety of the entirety of the demon lord’s territory from a sneak attack from the back.Then there’s the battle that Sylvie the dark elf experienced. One where she came face to face against another great general. The only tactical mind within the kingdom of Helios. If left unchecked, this person wo
Just like Sylvie and Gerant, Samira also encountered a general in the battlefield. A very powerful one at that because, this human is also the right-hand man of King Wolfhound. The greatest soldier that’s only second to the king himself. None other than Augustus.The general has already taken down a city and two villages that the monsters of the demon lord has occupied. As such, he’s making the most progress out of anyone. Clearing out the problems in such a rate that, if left alone, he would entirely wipe out all of the problems that the kingdom has.That’s why he has to be dealt with and, that’s why Samira came to pay him a visit. Not during the day when she’s weak of course but, rather, during the hours of the night. Making full use of the powers granted to her by moonlight. A privilege only she enjoys.With this, her powers are greatly boosted. Maybe too much to be exact because, right now, even the great general isn’t posing as a threat to her at all. “You’re a lot weaker than I
Thundering crashes continued within Raider city. Earthquakes of some sort that made some of the soldiers and even some of the monsters stop from fighting. Nobody could disregard it or pretend that it does not exist because of how easy it is to lose balance due to the force of every tremor that’s made and, the exceeding loudness that are emitted by these same forceful and powerful vibrations.Unlike the monsters and the humans however, the skeletons continued to move. The third faction that entered into the fray through seeming portals that made them come out in large quantities. Mixed with powerful monsters that tear upon the soldiers of Helios.The relentless attack of the skeletons, although not lethal at all, is enough to take the attention of the humans. Though this doesn’t make their fighting any less difficult. With the addition of these creatures, the monsters that invaded the city have finally begun to be able to fight back. A thing that’s not even supposed to happen and, woul
The dark elf stood on top of the roof of a building standing just in front of General Justus. Completely alone and unguarded. This might seem like a poor choice on the part of the dark elf but, Justus can feel that the creature is strong enough to leave itself this way.Though this did not stop him from giving an order to nearby archers he placed around the vicinity as well. Doing so with a simple command spell that he placed on himself and the said units. Granting them a target mark which tells them who it is that they need to shoot and, for them to get a clear shot, he needs to continue getting the attention of this new opponent.The archers are all, of course, trained by him in secret. This is something he requested from King Wolfhound himself. Meaning, these are all exceptional soldiers. That’s why the general knows that they’d be able to handle their target without much trouble at all.“My lord told me that there’d be monsters here but, I didn’t expect that there’s be humans as w
The air around raider city is filled with the vile stench of rotting flesh. There is a silence brought about, not by peace and rest, but by the fact that all humans within this city have been killed. Murdered and eaten by the monsters that now occupy it as well. Making it their abode as the war between the newest demon lord is waged against the five kingdoms.In the dead silence of early morn, not even birds have begun to chirp yet. Darkness fills the entirety of the world like a mantle, hiding everything from plain sight. Creating a camouflage for everyone who wants to make it their own – the very same thing that Justus’ soldiers did.They made use of the darkness to continue their advance towards the city. Just as he ordered, he left the nearby village before the first streaks of dawn could be seen. Each and every soldier is already prepared when he called for them; their punctuality being one of the few things that he likes when it comes to his own kingdom.“I don’t want any excess
Khanza is not the only reliable general that’s been deployed for the war. As a matter of fact, every reliable general of every kingdom has been brought out for this war and, one of them is the great tactician – Justus.It is said that, when it comes to creating effective strategies in the battlefield, there is nobody that could match his level. A spectacled adolescent that is looked upon by many as a figure that’s been born in the wrong place. After all, he is a member of the kingdom of Helios.Any praise that may go into his great tactics is non-existent within this kingdom. Other than the craft of forging and, the physical prowess of a person, nothing else matters. Yet that is also the reason why this same general is all the more interesting.He isn’t just all wits. No. General Justus is a strong gladiator as well. Knowing that nobody would ever recognize him if he doesn’t show his might in the battlefield, he continued honing his body. Making it a lethal weapon that can play out al
Gerant’s attack sent his opponent flying in the air. With this comes a powerful explosion that ate away at the flesh of Khanza. No amount of defensive capability helped the demonified general as, Gerant watched his opponent get eaten away by newly furnished spell.This is an attack that Gerant has only perfected recently and, is able to do so because of the help of his lord and savior, Merin Warlock. A demon lord that showed him a path that he himself could not have seen all on his own.In the original game, Gerant’s power is so frightening that it’s said that he can destroy the barrier of Genesis City itself. And the spell he can unleash which gave him such a reputation is the same one that he’s using right now.[Skill Name: Malevolence][Skill Type: Channeling Burst][Grade: S][Mana Cost: 100,000][Information: The initial part of the spell creates a domain around the entirety of the battlefield. Casting this takes away 20% of the stats of the caster, as well as the same amount of
Khanza’s form changed completely. His grayish hair has turned into pitch black. His eyes are filled with nothing but the void. The rest of his body is consumed in flesh, seemingly made from the cursed sword which has its core in the middle of the general’s chest. There is also a tail at his back – a thick one that might be usable for both offense and defense.It’s a demon. There’s not a shadow of a doubt that it’s a demon that Gerant is facing right now. One which has bloodlust outpouring from it as well. Directed towards nobody else but the blood ogre as a deafening screech escaped from the jaws of the beast he has to face.“To think that a general of the north can use Demonification. That’s definitely something I didn’t expect to encounter in this lifetime.” Gerant sarcastically said.“You will pay for your sins with your life!”The monster howled at him with such strength that the blood ogre’s ears almost bled. The sound even touching the parts of his exposed skin violently, as if
