“You go get the rewards, I’ll go talk to Orixa,” Mika said.
The other players went straight to the Shiny Tree that contains the loots for the Dungeon Completion.
As said, Mika went to speak to the mourning Orixa.
As she arrives, Mika comfortingly whispered to Orixa, “Orixa… hey… I know it’s very sad that…”
“It’s my fault…” Orixa mumbled.
“Orixa… it’s nobody’s fault,” Mika replied as she tried to, at least, cheer up Orixa.
But Orixa didn’t respond this time. She’s just staring blankly in the air, while tears are still rolling from her eyes.
Mika couldn’t think of anything more to comfort her friend. She just let her be.
Later on, Frenz came to say something to Mika.

The Little Boy charged at Billy. He banged Billy’s armor with his puny clenched hands. “Let her go! Let go of my Mama!” the boy cried while punching Billy repeatedly.Billy doesn’t know how to react. He just let the innocent child hit him; he didn’t retaliate.Then, the boy turned his attention to Mario, who was holding his father. “LET THEM GOOOO!!” the boy screamed while kicking Mario’s foot.The Players are still in a state of shock and disappointment. They don’t know how to react to the hysterical child.Slowly, and with a little hesitation, Mika stepped forward and approached the Little Boy. She patted the boy’s shoulder and whispered to him - trying to comfort the sobbing child, “Hey, Little Bud… We’re….”Just before Mika could finish her words, the boy swatted her hand
A day passed after the Dungeon Raid Players had returned to the settlement. They already fixed all the mess that was left by the Bird Hornets’ Invasion. The players that came back from the expedition were already able to rest completely. It is afternoon and the sun is about to set. Mika is inside her room. She’s examining and itemizing all the loot they collected from the Dungeon Raid the other day. She searched and brought out all the items that were inside the Utility Sack - checking all the precious rewards from their expedition. After a while of inventorizing all the loot, she noticed that the Earth Essence is still in there, which was originally Rudolph and his family’s share of the loot. “I forgot that it’s still here. But they were not here anymore. It’s better if we just use it than put it into waste,” Mika thought. She packed all the items inside the Sack again and pre
Mika opened up the Notification that suddenly appeared. “It’s a Special Event!” Mika exclaimed as soon as she saw the Notification. “Yellow… It’s just the Countdown Warning, right? How much time do we have before it starts?” Arii asked. Tommy can sense the tension in the room; he knows that something is wrong. He hid back inside the blanket again. “The countdown is unusually long! I mean… It's much longer than the previous one. We have more than an hour,” Mika replied to Arii. “We should go meet with others. By this time, I believe they had already seen the Notification. We need to talk with them.” Mika agreed and nodded her head. They were about to leave the Room. But before they exit, Arii spoke to the scared Tommy, “Hey, Tom-Tom. We need to go outside,” Arii whispered. “Whe…where are
“We’ve been scouting here for minutes but nothing’s happening yet!” Virgo uttered. “How long till the Event ends?” she asked Orixa.Orixa replied with a soft gloomy voice, “Almost two hours…”“Two hours!? That’s f*cking long! What kind of Event is this!?”Orixa didn’t respond. Virgo noticed Orixa’s gloomy aura, so she tried to ask what was wrong.“Tell me… is everything fine now, Orixa? You still look gloomy… is it about the family again?”Orixa is still silent. Then, she sat on the nearby tree root and started sobbing.Virgo walked and sat beside Orixa.“Hey… are you still not feeling good? We can go back to the camp if you want to.”“No, no… I want to stay here,
*TRIGGER WARNING! *(Some scenes may be disturbing for some readers. I put some notice on the parts that contain extreme scenes; you can entirely skip those parts. I’ll also put some marks where you can continue reading. Please be warned.)The Special Event continues. The Night Sky keeps being swallowed by bloody red coloration.At the North Watch Tower,“Frenz! FRENZ!”“Huh!? Who’s that!?” Frenz uttered.“FREEEEENZZZ!!!”Frenz kept searching where the voice was coming from. He climbed down the Watch Tower and followed the voice.Then,“Frenz! You piece of sh*t of a child!!”“Huh?... Papa!?... Why… Why are you here!? What do you want from me!?” Frenz mumbled. He was aghast to see a familiar
*TRIGGER WARNING!* Nikko came back to Raft’s place together with the still-crazed Marco. Marco’s body is covered with vines from the Gauntlet, and only his head is showing. Nikko placed Marco beside the unconscious Frenz. “Nikko, what have you done to Marco?” Mika asked. Lumine answered, “I believe it’s the Vine Embrace. It’s the Second Phase of the Special Talent Spell given by the Gauntlet. I only read it when we appraised the Item, but to witness it in person is kinda fascinating. Mika doesn’t know what Lumine is talking about; she hasn’t learned about the Gauntlet yet. “But will he be okay inside that?” Mika asked. “I think so?... As long as Nikko doesn’t proceed to another Move path… Marco will stay like that,” Lumine answered. Then, “Get me out of here! I wan
“Let’s get out of here. I told you… we should escape…”“Why? Why should we leave here?”“They’re Bad Guys!”“Bad Guys?... hmm… They look like good people. That Mister - Raft, save me from the raging ape. Though it’s not right to kill the animal, he just did it because my life was in trouble.”“No! Believe me! They’re Bad Guys! They’re killers! Especially that Evil Man - Nikko, I saw him kill one of their own! They're very evil! They’re the ones that killed my family! My Papa, My Mama, My Ate Gwen… and her boyfriend, Kuya Lenard!”“Is that true?”“Yes! We should leave here before they hurt us too!”“Hmm… if you’re telling the truth… then okay! I’ll

“Are… Are you sure you want me to stay here?” “Yep! Don’t worry, Mr… erm… Papa! While you’re still undergoing Lumine’s special medication, you can stay here in the camp,” Arii answered the worried Papa. “But - But… What if this weapon will control me again? What if I go nuts again!?” Papa worriedly asked. “Don’t worry, Sir. We’ll do everything we can to contain you if that happens,” Orixa answered. “While we’re still finding a way to remove that Scythe for you, we can assure you that you’ll be safe in our camp.” “O-okay!” “Uhm… Mr. Papa. We learned what happened to you and your family. We’re sincerely sorry for your loss. But, uhm… you know, our Little Tommy also lost his family. Maybe it may help both of you if you were to act as his father and take care of him,” Arii said. Arii’s words put a smile on Papa’s face. “Su - sure! Where is he?” he answered. “He’s inside his room. You want to visit him?” Orixa asked. Papa nodded his head. Moments later, “Hey, Tom - Tom. Somebody w
The players arrived at the Base’s Main Laboratory.The laboratory is quite vast and well-structured for just a recently-built facility. Lots of machines and apparatus can be found inside the lab.Lumine and Tusha are in the laboratory.“Raft! Everyone!” Lumine greeted her friends.“Lumine! Arii said that you went with them voluntarily. We thought you already betrayed us *cough*,” Virgo said.“No! I would never!” Lumine answered.Arii bowed in shame. “Sorry if I misunderstood what happened, guys,” she apologized.“No, it’s okay Arii. It’s also my fault that I left without a proper explanation. I left you to worry,” Lumine said.“So… There must be a deeper reason why you’re here…” Raft uttered.“Actually… there is,” Lumine answered as she looked at Tusha.“Oh - yeah! I remember you said that Tusha is a BBC,” Frenz said.Everyone is confused. “BBC!?” they uttered in unison.“The robot thing?” Frenz added.“It’s NPC, Frenz,” Arii corrected.Mario is giggling at the corner. “BBC - the heck
“Giiiiiirl!!!” Frenz yelled as he came to approach Mika. “Girl, I like your new powers,” he complimented.Mika didn’t respond. She just stared at Frenz awkwardly.“Uhm… Mika? Hellooooo? Are you okay?”Suddenly, tears start rolling from Mika’s eyes. She suddenly hugged Frenz. “Freeeenz! I’m sorry! I didn’t know you were suffering that much!” she sobbed.Frenz is confused by the situation. “Uhm… what’s happening?”Arii also came. “Mikaaa! You’re so cool right now!”Mika also stared at Arii. After a few seconds, “Ariiiii! Sorry if I didn’t know! I just want to hug you now!” Mika cried as she hugs Arii.The others came too.“You guys! Why didn’t you tell me that you’re feeling that way? I feel like a bad friend now,” Mika uttered as she hugged each of her friends.Everyone is puzzled by Mika’s behavior.“What’s happening to her?” Marco asked.“Is this some side effect of her powers?” Mario hunched.“I don’t know…” Orixa replied. “But that’s not important right now. We still have an enemy
“Bolt!? Why are you here!?” Spike uttered. “Everyone, please stop! This is not the right thing to do!” Bolt shouted to the armed kids. “Go away, Bolt! You already betrayed our group, you don’t belong here anymore!” “Hey… Spike. I know that they got Auntie. But these people came to help us!” Spike was moved by what Bolt said. “...What?” “Hey! Don’t listen to that kid!” Aize scolded Spike. Spike is torn by his indecisiveness. “These people can help us, Spike. Come on, do the right thing and stop listening to that man. They’re just using us as their weapons.” After saying these words, Bolt is starting to persuade Spike and the other kids. They lowered their weapons. “Look! They’re about to defeat them. Everything will change if you don’t follow Aize’s orders,” Bolt’s continuous persuasion. Spike bowed down in silence. Later on, “...... You’re right,” he said as he dropped his weapon. The other kids did the same. Seeing the other kids’ decision, Bolt can’t help but let out a gl
“Uhh… why am I caught up by Coco’s Spell? Why am I also transported here? *cough*” “It’s because you didn’t move away, you idiot,” Minerva answered Skald. “I’m also here too,” the kid that guarded Nikko said. Minerva sighed at the sight of the kid. All of them were transported in one of Coco’s Controlled Dimensions to fight the lone Nikko. The theme in this controlled Dimension is a vast flatland. “Move away, you two. I already defeated this guy. I’ll make it quick this time,” Minerva confidently uttered as she approaches Nikko. “Don’t make this hard for you. Admit defeat and I’ll consider taking you out of here unharmed,” Minerva proudly demanded Nikko. “...” “Stubborn, aren’t you? Well… it couldn’t be helped, I’ll just put you down like the last time we clashed together,” Minerva stated as she drew her sword and pointed it at Nikko. She also used her Magic Amulet to create her Icicle Arm. Minerva starts to chant a Spell, “Icicle Spear!” An Ice Spear formed in front of her. A
The gusts of Violent Winds completely enveloped and protected Yufa like a body barrier. She assumed a Charging Stance again to prepare another Move.Orixa quickly slides towards Yufa in an attempt to disrupt the Move. But when she moved closer, she felt the Violent Winds pushing her away. Still, she tried to strike Yufa, but her attack was blocked by the Violent Winds.Yufa completed her Charging Phase. Then,“Auster’s Blade!!”She forcefully slashed her polearm in a diagonal motion. A thick and powerful Wind Blade gushed out from her weapon.Orixa was able to dodge the Wind Blade, but the explosive winds produced by the Move pushed her away. She stumbled and rolled to the wet ground, but she recovered back to her feet immediately.“Those protective winds swirling around her are very troublesome. I need to strike faster than the winds so my attacks will pass through,” Orixa uttered in her mind. She prepared to attack once again. In a blink of an eye, she moved and went past Yufa.“Rip
Ariilily: But how can we help them with just the three of us? Nikko: I have a plan. Mika: Really? That’s great. What should we do? Nikko: Go to that man over there.} Nikko is referring to Leo. {Mika: But why? Nikko: I heard that he has the weapons of our friends inside his Utility Bag. Mika: You’re right. I heard it too. But what should we do after that? Our friends are still bound by those magic chains. Nikko: I can dispel those chains. Mika: You can do that? Nikko: Yes. Mika: Nice! Nikko: Go there now. Don’t take action until I give the signal, okay? Mika: Ok. Nikko: Go!} The three started moving. Mika went towards the direction where Leo is standing. Arii followed Mika. Seeing that his captured friends are clustered together in one small area, Nikko lifted his arm and pointed his sword at that area. He stayed like that for a few seconds. Then, “Done,” he uttered in his mind. He put away his sword and rushed in a specific direction. Mika and Arii have now reached Le
“Friends!?” Orixa’s reaction. After a short realization, “You bastards! What did you do to them!?” “You’ll meet them shortly,” Minerva replied. “Let go of me!” Orixa uttered as she keeps on struggling. Minerva, together with Coco, Skald, and Lorelei forced Orixa to walk towards the Tavern’s sidewall. “Aah! Why didn’t we think of this?” Orixa uttered after chuckling scornfully. “Let me guess? One of the rooms in the Corridor leads to your real Base?” Coco didn’t answer. Instead, she looked back to the crowd and yelled, “Every one of you here, get out of this Tavern! Now!” “Eh!? But we’re still celebrating here!” one of the customers demanded. “I SAID… I WANT EVERYONE OUT!” Coco repeated. But now, the tone is more intense and scary. Every irrelevant customer exited the Tavern. They left with disappointed faces. After the crowd left the Tavern, Coco proceeded in opening a Special Portal on the wall. From her pocket, she pulled four Talismans. The Talismans look like flat pieces
