“Okay. I’ll send one of my Courier Drones to fetch you.”“Thanks a lot, Raft. We appreciate it.”Moments later,“Haaaaa! It’s good to be back!” Mika grunted while stretching both of her arms up high.With her back arching, and her arms drooping, Lumine let out a deep sigh of relief, “FINALLY!”Raft noticed the two ladies’ unusual exhaustion, “Uhm… are you okay?”“We have so much we need to talk about, Raft!” Mika’s reply.Realizing the seriousness of Mika’s statements, Raft replied, “Should I call back the others for another meeting?”Later, again, in the Assembly Area,“THIS IS THE THIRD MEETING OF THIS DAY ALREADY! When will this end?” Frenz complained.“Smiley! We need to have this meeting! Mimi and Lumie have something important to tell us!” Orixa said.“Tch!” Frenz rolled his eyes at Orixa again.“I’m glad you returned safe, Mika, Lumine,” Arii said with a genuine smile.“Thanks, Arii,” Lumine replied.Frenz started blabbering again, “SO… WHAT NOW!? ARE WE GOING TO… *cough* *coug
Under the blue sky of the next stale morning, a group of three players arrived on the outskirts of the Plain Settlements.The first person is wearing a very formal attire: a long-sleeved black cotton polo tucked in silk black slacks pants. A black leather belt supports the pants and black leather shoes cover his feet. He dons a slicked-back hair, adding to the formality of his stance. He seems to be in his middle age.“I think we’re here,” the man said. Poise and tact could be observed in the way he spoke.“Haaayaaaaa!!! Finally, we’re here!” the second person exclaimed. He stretched his body to loosen the tension in his body that they acquired during their long travel.The second person is a young man - almost the age of Mario and Raft. His body is covered with a silky Samurai Kimono. At his waist tied a Special Katana sheathed inside a stylized scabbard. His long hair is stretched neatly by a ponytail and two long strings of bangs dangle at the temples of his head.“Aries! Hitori! C

"What are your true intentions?” Raft asked with hostility.His greeting was not the same as the playfully aggressive approach that Mario made a while ago. It’s obvious that Raft was not playing.Orixa is getting worried about the situation, “Come on, Rafty. Aren’t you happy to see one of your friends again?”“Yeah, Bro! Aren’t you glad that Hitori is here with us now?” Mario followed.“The last time I came across a fellow guild member, they tried to kill us. Can you blame me?” Raft replied. He asked Hitori again, “So… Why did you come to the Plains first before going here? Are you conspiring with Aize too?”“Calm down, Bro. I’m not here to cause a ruckus. I just wanted to meet all of you again.” Hitori replied.“Calm down now, Rafty. There’s no need to be hostile with Hitori.”Raft started to reconsider. He left out a deep breath to release the tension in his body. After a while, “Fine!”“If you, and your friends here, did something funny, I will trigger the Defense System to elimin
“Raft, what’s your take on this?” Chin down, Raft was seriously analyzing the situation. After a while, he lifted his head. “To be honest, I don’t know. But our camp still needs reinforcements; there were still damages left when the Slimes attacked. There are still a lot of things to repair. I was really planning to use the Pechurites to speed things up.” Hitori giggled, “So, you were just showing off a while ago? What 10%? So the other 90% were just broken buildings, eh? Wait till I see what!? A bunch of rubbles!? Haha!” Hitori ridiculed. “Tch! I don’t need your voice here,” Raft irritatedly replied. Hitori continued to tease Raft with a giggle. “I agree with you, Raft,” Marco said. “But is there any other place to get them - the Pechurites? Is there any other place to get them besides the Plains?” “We also don’t know. This material should be scattered all around the world. But currently, in this region, it is the nearest and most abundant place to gather them,” Lee-Yu said. “An
“I will do it,” Arii said confidently. Mika was a bit worried. “Are you sure about this, Arii? I…” “Don’t worry. I can do it, Mika,” Arii responded without even letting Mika finish her statement. “But how? How can we do it? I remember my father saying that Joenald was well-known for his good track record. You won’t even see a bit of corruption in his name. That’s the same reason why he became the crowd favorite.” Aries chuckled. “We lived in a world where you can use your money to hire a hitman and end someone’s life. What made you think that the same money couldn’t forge a simple track record of a public identity?” “Makes sense,” Arii murmured. “Remember what our parents always say, ‘Nobody’s perfect’,” Aries joked. “Gosh. You’re scaring me with the knowledge you have,” Orixa said to Aries. “Sorry, Madam. But it’s just the cruel reality of the world we used to live in. And it’s still applicable in this world.” “Damn, Aries. When it comes to these topics, you always lose your m
Lying on a feather-filled mattress, staring at the wood-lined ceiling of her space, a young woman was contemplating inside an improvised hut-like structure called a “Room”. The fine young woman has a slim frame, but the pronounced curvature in her waist and the perkiness of her bottoms inside her tight leggings suggest her athleticism. Her mid-length silky hair is scattered across the linens as she lay flat on her mattress. The lady was reminiscing about a nostalgic scene from when she was a child. A certain act kept playing in her mind like a broken cassette. This series of memories consists of lectures and reminders that she heard when she was young. “Mikaila… as you grow up and continue living your life, there will come a time when you’ll have to make important decisions. Some will be easy - yes, but what you need to watch out for are the ones that can change your life in an instant.” The sermon continued in her head, “Then, you’ll realize that to live is to make meaningful dec
Somewhere, in the southern parts of the Bridging Forest, … … … “GAAAAA!! GET IT OFF ME!!!!!!” “HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME! PLEASE!!!” “NO! NO! I DON’T WANT TO DIE! NOOOOO!!!!” “AAAAA!!! IT’S RIPPING MY LEGS APART!!!!!” “MAMA!!! MAMAAAA!!!” “MY WIFE! THE SLIMES GOT MY WIFE!!!!” “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!” Anguishing screams and cries echo in the Forest as the Slimes continue to ravage the evacuating players. The ravenous Slimes continue marching forward as they devour every player they could see. “No, no! It got my foot!.... Help me, please!” one of the unfortunate players screamed. He pleaded for help as mid-sized Slime continued to gobble his foot. “Lorelei! Save me!” the player cried as he stretched out his arm, asking help from his friend. “Just hold still, Paul! I’ll get that thing off you!” the friend replied. In an attempt to save her friend from impeccable doom, the woman swung her sword and struck the Slime forcibly. BONG!! Unfortunately, the sword just sank through the Sli
