[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
[Helios Kingdom – Training Grounds]Junrio walked through the streets of the kingdom and noticed something. The houses are built the same. These being made with stones and cemented with the use of magic. Creating a sturdy place to live in that does not get burnt. Suffice to say, there is a mining area where they get all of the stones from. A place that’s situated at the far end of the kingdom. A dangerous one that is close to the habitat of monsters.Then there are the citizens. A lot of children have wooden swords which they play with. Fighting in the streets as if they’re in some sort of coliseum. And that is as real as it can get because, these same children would beat up their playmates in these fights. Using their fists when they are disarmed and hitting their playmates where it’d hurt the most. A common sight to behold in a kingdom that values strength above everything else.Parents wouldn’t stop this. In fact, they would even look at their children with shame should this be the
[Northern Kingdom of Avarreh – Present Day]The same day that Lord Junrio went to Helios, the others went back to their respective kingdoms as well. None of them fancied the idea of having to travel long before reaching their destinations. Other than the fact that it’d be bothersome for them, they can’t risk the chance of getting attacked on the way.Just as King Wolfhound said, every son and every daughter of a monarch is taught on how they can avoid danger. That is the kind of thinking that the group is making use of. This is imprinted into their heads as the world was reconstructed by Requiem. The same imprinting done to their other memories, where their lives in earth is now merged with the lives created for them in the new world.That being said, Arthur took out the teleportation scroll handed to him by when he left the kingdom. Using this, he’s able to return back to the Northern Kingdom. And though he is a prince of it, this is the first time in the real world that he’s enterin
Just like Avarreh, the other kingdoms also agreed to the terms given presented by Junrio. He wasn’t very assuming in what he wanted from them. Just that they need to add a search party and a group capable enough to fight those that has the audacity to capture royalty. This implies one other thing. That the enemies won’t be relatively weak. Anyone who plots against the throne would have something in their arsenal that they can use to win. That is a great possibility and, because all of the kings and queens of the land know this, they sent some of their finest warriors for this.The paperwork and everything else is still being arranged though. It would at least take another day before they get deployed. After which they will simply use teleportation scrolls to arrive at the city quickly. This also being provided within the letter. Granting a maximum of five scrolls per kingdom. Implying the number that Junrio wants from them.The lord of Genesis City is very careful in all of this. He
The group arrived at the front of the dungeon after walking for five more minutes. It isn’t that far from their initial teleportation point. Allowing them the leisure of moving slowly before they begin the actual work. And it is also because of this that Pietro noticed the trap laid outside the dungeon.“Would you look at that. They really prepared something like this outside the dungeon.” Kulxa said, the second one to notice the trap as the others followed.Pietro stabbed the trap and sure enough, the fake floor got taken down. Revealing the spiked ground that is headed underneath it. One which also contains the bones of those that have fallen for it already. The poor souls of the adventurers that wanted to get the reward that Asther presented to them.These pirates are the same of course. They’re also expecting a large reward at the end of this dungeon. But what separates them from the adventurers that fell is that, they are actual veterans in this field. “What do you make of this?
