An Indian Writer's fiction story



A normal boy of 16 who is a game lover gets super Mario game for his helping nature. One day he plays that game. Mario comes out of the game and becomes his friend
how to send Mario again into the game and win the final level is the rest...

IT WAS A FINE MORNING THAT DAY AS THE SUN SHINES ITS BEAM ON THE SPOTTED TREES IN THE CELESTIA...

5 years later,
"Hah, hah, hah" Mach was panting, was it him or did the snakes become even more aggressive today. Roughly 2 years ago, snakes started to random appear and attack mach. Every time he was alone, the snakes would try to kill me, killing them made no difference as they would be replaced with new ones.
Mach had a rough idea of what was going on behind the scenes. It was probably maria's doing.

She probably doesn't want a rival for mario as the succesor of the family business. And for the snakes, she must have hired bourbon to send the snakes after him.

Mach's heart pained again, he wanted a loving and tender family too, friends to goof around with. Every morning, maria would pamper her son, feeding him a bite every now and then with a delightful smile on her face. On the same table, antonio would having his breakfast while fondling rena and grandfather would sigh seeing this everyday while mach could do nothing but silently burn with jealousy.
He once tried calling her mom, but she completely ignored him.

Mach was now 10 years old. His current status was
Health : 158
Health regen : 25
Strength : 42
Speed : 34
Stamina : 87
Nen : 279
Nen Regen : 53
Intelligence : 135

System upgrade : 8467/10,000

Another startling discovery was - the little fatty from phase 1 who talked big, that was Maria's child mario, he is named after his mother. Mach tried talking to mario too, but maria wouldn't allow it.

Mario and mach had equal age and he fiercely competed with Mach at everything. But while they were even in academics with 100/100 in exams and close competiters in P.E with mach in the lead. Mario hated mach deeply for stealing his limelight. Children burn with jealousy more intensely than adults. Mario was no different.

One day Mario decided to one up Mach by becoming a hunter.

The next morning, during breakfast -
"Mama, I want to become a hunter"
"But that is dangerous sweetie, people die trying every year. Don't go, okay."
Clearly not supportting the notion.
But grandfather had different ideas,
"No, He should experience this, as a hunter grandson, how can he not be a hunter himself."
Maria was worried, she showed a shocked face, "Father, how can you say that? You should know about the dangers of hunters exams yourself first hand. How can you send your grandson to the death's door?"
Mach pinched in "ohho, let me jump the bandwagon too. after all the more the merrier, right."
"Why do you want to be a hunter Mach? It's dangerous so leave this to me, okay.
Mach replied, " No no no, As the inheritor of the family business, mario doesn't need to be a hunter. Why don't you just help me pass the exams mario. I have no interest in inheriting the family business, you are suited for it."
Mario replied "Becoming a hunter is my dream, I will not back down from this".

Grandfather knew neither of them would backdown, they never did. But he can't lose both of his talented successors in a exam that wasn't necessary for the family, but also life threatening.

"Understood, Father." Maria understood her father in law's intentions, sadly, she couldn't buy the examiners even if she tried. That's just the sort of exam it was or else she would have them babysit mario.

Antonio's response to this entire conversation was "Are you going to have an exam in the school?"

Grandfather, Maria, mario, Mach and even the Butlers and maids did a mental face palm. He was just too ignorant.

Mario went on to explain, "father, the hunters exams are World famous. Every hunter has a the credit limit of a small corporation, free service to all basic necessities in over 90% of the nation's across the world and access to them."
"So it's a international level exam huh? It's a waste of time, I am the owner of the Itadaki firm, you don't need any scholarship programs. We have plenty of money for such things, you shouldn't participate in them" his father replied.

Mario face-slammed himself at his father's stupidity. Being a hunter was a honor was considered a higher status among rich and yet this man had no knowledge of it. In Antonio's mind, this was probably some genius scholarship program that they didn't need.

And as such went another morning political conversation in peace in the Iora house where both mario and Mach didn't want each other to participate in the Hunter exams.

And so, Mach latched on to Mario on his Hunter exams until they reached the examination venue. At departure, Maria and Grandfather came to give us a farewell. Well, Maria came to give mario a farewell only. A maid accompanied mario while a butler was assigned to take care of mach's needs.

Mach burned with jealousy, although no one took take of him at home. He never minded it, he was happy with the maids serving him breakfast, lunch and dinner. But mario had maids serving him his entire lifetime.

Mach had an Idea, He decided to call it Charmer. The nen ability charmer would generate positive feelings for mach in the target's heart by consuming nen.

If he has this ability, he can win over his family. He only needed another 1533 nen to level up the system. In another 7 days, the system will upgrade to level 2.

2 days later,
System 2.0
Another attribute was adding to the stats - hunger. After hunger depleted, the health would start dropping and all regeneration stats would be reduced until the hunger bar is filled.

The System now had a minimap showing him all nen users who didn't use zetsu and nen items. He could now see the status of people.

Upgrade to level 3 needed 20,000 nen.
The Nen ability management window was finally unlocked.
He made 2 abilities - Overcharge and Charmer. The abilities he made needed to be paid with Nen. He needed to rest for a while in between to charge his nen.

Charmer generated feelings of love towards the user in the target's heart and
Overcharge collected all nen created after his nen capacity was full, the nen can be unleashed in a single attack.

Mach can't reveal the system in the presence of others, so overcharge would allow him to keep the excess nen generated by his body aside safely for later uses.

It could also be used as a Trump card for a nen attack beyond his normal nen capacity. As Mach was gleaming over his recent success,
*boom* The ship rocked, sounds could be heard "The ship is under attack by pirates" or "The ship is leaking".

Mach grimaced at his situation, he had 0 nen right now.

Mach Iora is the the Son of a Rich 2nd Gen Bastard who raped his mother and then neglected her.

Knock knock knock 
Head "come in"
Servant "Master I have some bad news ,young Master Mario has made a move, he kidnapped the Ortox second young master, it seems that he want to change the deal, so that we can take over the port".
Head "Fool does he think that they will not retaliate even if we can control our neighborhood we will be crushed internationally by them, I know that kid is stupid but his father is not. Someone is trying to unseat me using my foolish grandson, immediately call for a meeting; I want everyone's here in one hour also make sure they treat the second young master of the Ortox family with the utmost respect".
Servant "Understood master"
As the servants left the room and the old man face darkened as he sat there lost in his thoughts, his name is Francesco the head of the Monteria family, a man who started his own family from the filthy streets to become one of the biggest mafia families in the country, he was a wise and powerful man who walked his way up in life, leaving behind him a trail full of blood and corpses, he knew when to hit and when to back down and that was one of the biggest reason that he still alive until now.

...
    
In an elegant room surrounding a long table that can accommodate at least 30 people all the members of the Monteria family gathered, some are skeptical and some are suspicious about this sudden meeting while others are maintaining a suffocating silence.
 
Marco "what is the occasion, suddenly the head asks for a meeting, does anyone here know?"
Lops "not something I know of but we will soon know, no need to be nervous"
Marco "who the hell is nervous dog face"
Lops  "the one who is shouting fool" 
Pagolo "stop the bickering; when the head will come everything will be clear"
The two fell in silence glaring at each other. After a couple of minutes the door opened and the head of the Monteria family came in. everyone stood up to greet the head, with a simple node he responded and proceeded to his seat.
 
 
An intimidating and suffocating silence dominated the room for a couple of seconds That seemed to everyone inside the room as if years has gone by.
Head "it seems that we have a great problem to deal with today and that would be the reason I asked all of you to come together here on a short notice, does anyone knows what I'm talking about?"
A chill run down the spines of everyone sitting around the table, on the left side sat Mario the moment he heard the head talking, a frosty light reflected clearly in his eyes thinking that someone must have told the head about his recent deals.

Along with him Many from the people sitting around the table started to think about their under-the-table doings behind the family back. Some thought about pity things from playing around with some hookers while on the job, while others broke into cold sweat thinking about the many things they have done from taking a share of the profit to forging some of the family account books. 
Silence prevailed after they heard the question; you can only hear loud heartbeats in the room.
.....
Head "so I see that no one knows what I'm talking about, what do you think Mario."
The moment his name was called he knew that everything he has done is known by the head of the family.
Without any sign of nervousness he stood up and looks straight at the head.
Mario "there is no need for word play don't you think so grandfather as you already know."
Head "indeed I know and I am asking you why the hell did you do it?"
Mario "why?  I did nothing but taking back what is originally ours, what's wrong with that?"
Pagolo "father what's wrong, what did he do?" 
Head  "why don't I tell you what your Genius son did, he broke our agreement with the Ortox  Corporation and even kidnapped the second young master of the Ortox family thinking that he will get all the Deeds and profits from the port"
The moment Pagolo heard what the head had said, his body shock as he looked at his son speechless unable to comprehend what kind of disaster his son had caused.
The others sitting at the table also we're shocked some of them even went pall.
 
 
Head " I know that you are not that bright of a person so someone must be pulling the threads behind the scenes, what you did my grandchild will only cause our downfall,  even if we managed  to monopolize the port ,we will be crushed as every International deal we may have will be destroyed by the Ortox family, and even at home they have their ways to suffocate us and above all of this you kidnapped their young master and made it from a business deal to a personal deal, now I need to deal with the mess you created,  you are no longer a child, you will pay for what you did but now we have to provide the best accommodation ever for the young Lord and try to salvage the situation."
Hearing what his grandfather has said Mario couldn't believe his ears, he started laughing like a madman.
Mario "Can you still call yourself a mafia head grandfather, are you afraid of a couple Corporations!, they are the ones who need to be afraid, not us. How can we the mafia Family Bend our knees to some businessmen, where is your pride grandfather. You indeed have aged. We don't need them anymore and we will get everything that is ours, that's the end of it."
Everyone in the room look at Mario as if he was a mad person, it was as if the temperature in the room has gone down, in the meantime Pagolo couldn't process everything that is going in front of him, the moment he heard  his son throwing insult at the head he stood up and roared.
Pagolo "Mario you don't talk like this to the Head."
Before he could continue the locked door of the room had been opened by a servant who seemed to be in shock.
Servant "head a disaster has befallen us"
Barely able to speak as he cut the meeting which is an important one as almost everyone from the upper management of the family is here.
Head "this is an important meeting, haven't I given my orders not to disturb us at all, Deal with this Disaster by yourself it is not the time now, we have bigger problems"
Servant "I am so sorry head but this can't wait at all, we are under attack."
The moment the head heard what the servant had said his face darkened.

Aria, the girl who works as a librarian coming from a complicated and prestigious background, her past was as dark as moonless night, she suffered betrayal from her closest family, she lacked love while growing up to the point that the same word became a myth for her that only reside in fairy tales, she choose to be alone surrounding herself with walls and secrets, the same 21 years old girl who fought silently for her rights and chose to live in the darkness until the day that she crossed roads with Adrian Ortox  the coldest rich young generation of the Ortox family, what will happen when the coldest man in the city take interest in the mysterious young lady librarian.

Miyuki looked at the ring in Felix's hand and took it very carefully as she locked it in a Divine energy capsule.
After this, she took a talisman from his pants bag which she used to seal the amulet on the talisman, cleaned his sweat from his forehead and looked at Felix "My girl you should not take such dangerous things that you had in your hand is an article damned.
It may not seem dangerous if you take it that way alone but if you had put it on it would be a problem that would cost us a lot to be able to remove. "
When Hellena heard that, she looked at her husband with some anger. "Love, why did you go out without us, you know that I am angry, I could not take revenge on the son of a bitch who attacks our sons, even death is still a danger to our family."
Flavio knew that Hellena was angry for what he decided to go on the direct route so he stole a kiss and placed his forehead next to hers "Mea Culpa, I just felt that our children were in danger and ran to save them.
I didn't want to do it for revenge or for trying to be a lonely hero, I just thought about arriving before something bad would happen to them. "
Hellena shook her head "You did well and I'm proud of you, but I want you to know that when we return we have to give you all four news.
But first I think it would be wise to know what to do with that ring and how to protect our children from something so dangerous, I do not want this situation to be repeated with any of them.
Much less related to rape, you know that ... "
Flavio did not let her finish because he gave her a big kiss "I swore that someone would never touch or abuse my family, I can be a quiet man but I am a protective father.
I am not omnipotent or omnipresent, but to defend my family I will not hesitate to do what is necessary although that means reaching the end. "
Miyuki pouted to see Flavio with Hellena, of course, Flavio felt Miyuki's anger and turned to her so he could give her a big kiss and thank her for preventing Felix from suffering a misfortune for not being careful with the damn ring.
Mario could only see his father leave unharmed as a champion after having two women who are not willing to give up his place, he does not believe he has that ability and he cannot be sure that Felix will allow him to have a Harem.
The 6 withdrew to the capital while the army was at the hands of the trustee of Ascanio, Alair a young man who learned through the bad that should never make the emperor's wives angry.
What happened to Legio Ascanio only he knew, but he did not want to end up as Ascanio because of what he saw that day he would take to the grave, in any case, he did not want to die for what he continued with the search for the Teotihuacan royal family.
On the trip to the capital, Mario and Felix were together while they hugged while Hellena and Miyuki were on Flavio sleeping in his chest, Mario looked at his father while hugging his wives "Dad do you think mom is pregnant"
Flavio sighed and looked at the two sleeping women recharged to him. "I don't doubt it, but maybe you have 5 little brothers, don't forget that Aphrodite is also on the list."
Felix looked at his father, "But isn't Aunt Felix married to Uncle Hephaestus?"
Flavio smiled "Let's say that Uncle Hephaestus suffers from an illness in which he enjoys having his wife be with other men, so far when he finds out that aphrodite is pregnant, he most celebrate the news.
What you can be sure of is that Aphrodite may come to live with us if she is pregnant, although for you two only training in the world of the gods awaits.
Due to the laws on territories and nobility and the two of you being my children, I will give you the city of Monte Albán, as your territory to do and undo as you wish but remember that you continue to belong to the empire.
I will give you the opportunity for you to choose the governor of the new province of Metztlixictli (Navel of the moon).
Of course, this will be when they return from their training, I want to be at least 20 years old before I start to see my grandchildren run through the imperial palace. "
Mario and Felix laughed nervously, but after this Felix looked at his father "Thank you, dad, I thought you would forbid us to be together because we were brothers.
Even the idea of ​​running away with Mario ran through my head so that our love was not persecuted. "
Flavio smiled forcefully "I have to say that it is rare for my two oldest children to marry but"
Flavio then looked at Hellena and Miyuki "I also understand that our family cannot be judged by conventional moral standards, so in the end if you two are happy I cannot interfere in your happiness.
I only hope that their descendants will not become customary if I will not have to publish laws to prohibit inbreeding, I understand that as gods or demigods there will be no problem but eventually the divine blood will be diluted.
When that happens inbreeding can destroy our family, you should know better than anyone else Mario, the history textbooks cover the decline of the dynasties by only relying on inbreeding. "
Mario nodded "You can be a sure father that I will educate my children so that they do not follow the path of inbreeding."
Flavio smiled and hugged his wives with more force "I hope so, son, if you allow me I will go to sleep for a while as we arrive in the capital to run more than 200km is not a simple task."
After this Flavio closed his eyes and got lost in the world of dreams, while Mario and Felix did the same, while this was a misfortune was happening in the tribe of the giants that attacked the empire.
Amorphous beings left portals and began to kill whatever was in their path, children's, women, men, even the dogs, they had come to collect the debts that these inferior beings had with them ...

Mario felt that nothing was going his way recently, as if someone was deliberately playing dirty tricks on him and Sharmie. The two of them couldn't do anything about it. Even Wang Zhong needed to put up with it, let alone them. This caused both of them to feel powerless and frustrated, clearly not as ambitious as when they first came to the Holy City. As a result, when they arrived at this place that was famous for being the most luxurious restaurant, they didn't even dare to step into it.
Did Wang Zhong tell them the wrong place? Typically, only Holy Disciples who were celebrating a special occasion would go to this type of restaurant opened by dimensional gourmets, he…
"What are you guys looking at? You just going to stand outside?" Wang Zhong smiled. In this place, he considered Sharmie and Mario to be 'old friends.' Ultimately, Wang Zhong was afraid of loneliness.
They didn't go to the wrong place after all. Sharmie heaved a sigh of relief. Reality was a cruel hammer that crushed one's dreams. She had really become more cowardly recently. It was just a meal; there was nothing for the Ball Queen to be so tense about. She wasn't an ignorant girl who lived under a rock.
Sharmie rolled her eyes, feeling unsure about the situation. "Well, you know what kind of place this is, right? I heard that to eat here, you have to make reservations a week beforehand?"
"That's an exaggeration." Wang Zhong came here for taste-testing a few times previously and knew how it worked. You only needed reservations for special dishes that required certain ingredients. They wouldn't be eating such dishes today; those were still way above Wang Zhong's pay grade even with his 'small fortune.' "Let's go. Oh wow…"
Wang Zhong noticed that Sharmie was holding on to Mario's arm. Although he knew there was something going on between them already, it was the first time he saw them behaving so intimately in public. Wang Zhong smiled, giving them a meaningful glance. "You two…"
It was all thanks to that lecherous team captain, Hale, that both of them got together. Previously, after Mario pulled Sharmie away from him, he decided to man up and confess to her. After that, things just progressed naturally.
Before this couple arrived at the Holy City, they were already on close terms. Sharmie had always been leading a fun and interesting life, and her personality didn't allow her to be quiet for a second. She was somewhat into him, but Mario had an inferiority complex and often wasn't firm enough. That was a barrier in their relationship, and it was only until the Hale incident that Mario finally mustered up the courage, which hit the soft spot in Sharmie's heart. The person she liked might not necessarily be the strongest, but he definitely mustn't be a coward.
Mario seemed rather shy upon seeing Wang Zhong's meaningful smile, while Sharmie was more poised and confident, squeezing Mario's arm tightly. She looked at Wang Zhong in a boastful manner. "You still can't tell? What's there to even ask? In fact, I have a question for you. When are you going to woo my sisters?"
Wang Zhong stared dumbfounded. When women went all out, they really came up with all sorts of nonsense. "Sisters?"
"What a heartless person!" Sharmie shook her head. "I'm already supportive of you having more than one lover, yet you're still acting over here."
"Ahem." Wang Zhong came back to his senses. He knew that Scarlet, Laura, and Sharmie became sworn sisters recently, but he wasn't used to it yet. About Scarlet and Laura, how should he put this? It wasn't that both of them weren't outstanding, but he just didn't feel that spark with them. Perhaps his lonely childhood made Wang Zhong more mature, making Scarlet and Laura seem more like little girls to him.
Noticing Wang Zhong's awkwardness, Mario changed the topic as the three of them entered the restaurant.
As expected, there weren't many people in the restaurant. The staff serving them were official Holy Disciples at the Heroic Soul Stage and also members of the Gourmets. If they weren't in the restaurant, Mario and the others would have to greet them politely, but now that they were customers, they could just sit back and enjoy the warm hospitality of their seniors. 
Ella was the person in charge. Their teacher had made it clear to treat them nicely; it was apparent that their teacher was very satisfied with this taste-tester. It was a pity that he came into the Holy Land as the number one expert of the CHF and ended up as a taste-tester, but at least, he had integrity. Originally, the Gourmets wanted to accept him into their team on their teacher's account, but they didn't expect him to reject the offer. This made Ella change her opinion of him for the better.
"This Junior Brother is pretty rich today, huh? I've reserved a private booth for you. Special treatment!" Ella smiled.
"Thanks, Senior Sister!" Wang Zhong and Ella had met a few times before, and Ella was an assistant who Teacher Lan Daier valued highly. Great Teachers could accept disciples directly, while teachers accepted assistants. Similarly, being a teacher's assistant had a lot of advantages and conveniences as you could widen your outlook while following your teacher. Once a teacher was promoted to a Great Teacher, the assistant's status would rise too.
Needless to say, the interior of the booth was decorated with lavish ornaments, including things from the Dimensional World. A painting on the wall was 'alive.' According to their teacher, it was a marine Dimensional lifeform with exceptionally strong vitality. 
Sharmie had really gained some insight from this. Previously, her knowledge of gourmet restaurants was only from a few seniors boasting about their experiences. She didn't expect to be dining inside a booth on her first visit. "Wang Zhong, aren't you having a bad time here? If this is what you consider bad, aren't me and the others living in hell then?"
Wang Zhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I was quite pitiful for a period of time, but after extreme bad luck comes good luck. I've been quite lucky recently, so I thought I would share my joy with you guys."
"You're a true brother! Loyal indeed!" Sharmie slapped Wang Zhong's shoulder casually. This certainly released all the depressed emotions inside of them recently; this made Laura and Mario feel like they were reborn, validating their existence, which they had not felt in a long time. 
The two of them were talented, but this place was where all the elites gathered. Although they weren't completely drowned out by the others, it wasn't easy for them to stand out either, or at least, they would need time and luck.
Not long after, Grai arrived. Grai was the only one who didn't change much after coming to the Holy City: he was still handsome and ever ready to adapt. We are made great by our tolerance; we are made strong by the absence of desire. This saying was an apt description of Grai. His Blood Race talent was not a taboo in the Holy Land at all, and several teachers from the Tyrants were pretty interested in him. They wanted to invite him to participate in some experiments since Blood Race bloodlines were quite flexible to work with. Grai led quite a comfortable life here, which was also because of his strong adaptability.
"Senior, you look good. Seems like you've gained something recently." After everyone exchanged greetings, Grai sized Wang Zhong up. Grai did not believe the rumors circulating outside in the least. Perhaps casting a Heroic Soul was hard, but it definitely wouldn't be a problem for geniuses like Wang Zhong and Mo Wen; this was not only because of their talent but also due to their earnest attitude. People like Gui Hao who were so arrogant could already cast such a great Heroic Soul, let alone those two. Also, a person's strength depended on their luck too.
It was indeed true that people like Wang Zhong and Mo Wen were born lucky, so their luck was never too bad.
Wang Zhong smiled. "Yes, but I still need some time to reflect on it."
Grai guessed correctly that Wang Zhong was pretty lucky recently, but he definitely didn't know just how lucky he was.
"This girl Laura sure likes to take her time. She seems to be leading quite a good life since Molton holds considerable power here," Sharmie said. Among the Holy Disciples, it would certainly be more convenient if there was someone here to stand up for you; you could avoid many mistakes. Molton was a well-known figure even among Holy Disciples, so helping Laura live comfortably here was undoubtedly an easy task for him.
Wang Zhong nodded. He didn't want Laura and Molton to be affected just because of him. "I called Napier and Mo Ling too. They were a great help to me a few days ago."
"Napier and Mo Ling?" Sharmie opened her eyes widely. "I don't think those two are in the mood to come over and eat with us?"
"Oh really? Why?" Wang Zhong was curious. He sent Skylink messages to Napier, Mo Ling, and Gui Xinying, but other than Gui Xinying who replied that she couldn't make it, the other two didn't respond. He was busy the whole day and didn't have the time to look at his Skylink. When he looked at it now, there were no replies from them indeed. 
"I heard that Napier and Mo Ling have withdrawn from the New Holy War Team. The Mo Family was quite disappointed in them, and a senior from the Mo Family declared that they should survive on their own power. Perhaps this is training or a punishment for them, but who knows for sure? The New Holy War Team is an exploration team created by the 10 Great Families. After offending them, their family won't go easy on the two of them for sure. I guess both of them are in terrible shape now." Sharmie shook her head.
"I've heard of this before." Grai, who was from the Sparta Clan, knew more about what was going on. "It seems that Napier offended a vice-captain of the New Holy War Team. Originally, he had financial assistance from the Mo Family and the New Holy War Team, but both are gone now. His elective subject is alchemy, the one that requires the most money, so he's unable to continue on with it. I think he's prepared to give up that elective as I haven't seen him during alchemy lessons in the Sparta Clan these few days."
Every newcomer, or rather Holy Disciple, would choose a main cultivation route and an elective subject; this was not only to earn money, but also because if you invested too much time on cultivation solely, it would put you at risk of narrowing your own paths, limiting your capability. Learning from something similar to your situation and adjusting your mind was imperative in helping you overcome some difficult bottlenecks. Building your foundation was very important during your initial time in the Holy Land. It was no use to rush things. As you reach higher levels of power, you require more resources. Unless you had a Sacred Teacher to back you up, good preparation was the key to success.
Once you started on your elective subject, it meant that you invested much effort in it and treated it as an interest and hobby too. Giving up on your chosen path was definitely a forced choice that would be a heavy blow to both your mind and body.
Did it really have to come to this?
Wang Zhong was rather surprised. Did this happen because Napier helped him at the Dimensional Hostel previously?
Considering how the hierarchy in the Holy Land was far worse than on Earth, this might really have happened because of Napier and Mo Ling challenging their seniors for Wang Zhong's sake. In the Holy Land, the 10 Great Families were just a means of connection to the Earth and could be easily replaced, serving no real purpose. Everything was about profit. 
"Not only did they lose their source of income, but the exploration teams in the Holy City also hold considerable power, affecting them in more ways than they can see." Grai shook his head. "If they're not strong enough and don't have someone backing them up, things will get pretty tough for them."
Beside him, Sharmie and Mario nodded vigorously, relating to this on a deep level. This really was the case for everyone when they just arrived in the Holy Land initially. Many Holy Apprentices and Holy Disciples wanted to get into their seniors' and teachers' good books, as a little help from them could possibly save them a few years' worth of mistakes. Showing off and maintaining your dignity were things that you could afford only if you had enough power since not everyone was like Wang Zhong. 
"Do you know where they are now?" Wang Zhong frowned. Regardless of whether he needed help then, Napier and Mo Ling stood up for him, and he appreciated it. If both of them were in a difficult situation because of him, Wang Zhong felt a responsibility to help them since he was in a position to do so.
The others shook their heads. Grai was someone who minded his own business, and he wasn't very close to Napier either. He only heard the news about Napier when other people were talking about it in the Sparta Clan from time to time. As for Sharmie and Mario, they were struggling with life themselves and didn't have the time to care about other stuff.
"Oh right, the three of you are not in any Dimensional Exploration teams, right?" Laura was not here yet, so Wang Zhong cut straight to the point.
"Are you trying to ask us to join the Gourmets?" Mario heard about Wang Zhong being a taste-tester and immediately refused. Anyone who knew about taste-testing jobs knew that it was certainly not a good job, and no one lasted long in it. "I know you can earn quite a fair bit from it, but I really… wouldn't be able to take it."
Wang Zhong laughed. "I'm talking about the Wanderlust Team."
The others stared at each other. None of them had heard of that team before. Grai seemed very interested. Although Grai received invitations from some exploration teams, he didn't have much interest in them and didn't feel like associating himself with them and having to suck up to them. From the very start, his goal in life was to enjoy freedom.
Wang Zhong briefly introduced the Wanderlust Team to them. "The scale of the team is rather small, but it has great potential, and the people there are easy to get along with. They have no special requirements for newcomers, and of course, if newcomers go on a mission, the rewards will be divided according to your individual contributions."
"There's such a good deal? I want to sign up. Save two spots for us! Two!" Sharmie bellowed, her face full of excitement. Joining a Dimensional Exploration team was extremely important to the development of the newcomers. Even if they were still at the learning stage, they needed some hands-on training to improve faster. There was another benefit that newcomers couldn't resist, which was earning money.
"Wang Zhong… Are you sure this will work out?" Mario was quite worried. It wasn't easy to be accepted by exploration teams, and this team treated newcomers fairly well, which was rather rare. Most small exploration teams would extort the newcomers.
"I'm the vice-captain, so I have authority over this, rest assured." Wang Zhong smiled.
Sharmie and Mario were stunned. This… seemed really different from what they heard outside.
"That's good then." Grai smiled. "Looking forward to the next time I get to work alongside Senior."
Grai hadn't made his choice all this while as he had been waiting for Wang Zhong subconsciously. He had a feeling that Wang Zhong would call him soon. There was a type of person who was born to be a leader and would never leave his friends behind. 
"The Wanderlust Team?" The door opened, and Laura arrived. She heard the last bit of their conversation and smiled. "A pretty good team that's been in the spotlight recently. News of the Wanderlust Team has been circulating all around the Dimensional Hostel. I heard that they explored an S-rank secret realm, and there are only a few exploration teams that are able to deal with an S-rank secret realm."
Unlike Sharmie who was having a bad time here, Laura was in the pink of health and seemed to be leading a good life in the Holy City. She was already a small celebrity in the Mystic Sect, which proved that having an impressive brother brought a lot of benefits indeed.
"Our team is so awesome. An S-rank secret realm?" Sharmie opened her eyes widely, finding it unbelievable. She looked at Wang Zhong. "I thought you said that the scale of the team isn't big? It's just a small exploration team?"
Wang Zhong smiled, spreading his arms. "I said that it has potential. Having a small scale doesn't necessarily mean it's not strong."


Amidst a disaster, an orphan contracts a sickness.

In his waking hours, he is tormented by his ailment, but when he slumbers, there is infinite darkness.

One day, when he was five years old, a strange Fate Trickster appeared in his dreams. Ten years later, he dreams of becoming a lord. To do so, he takes a chance to trade his fate!

That day, Wang Zhong once again stood at the gates of the Tianjing Heroic Soul Academy. He was about to start a brand new life.

The players on the battlefield could not hear the fury outside. Yang Nuo, who was in a different dimension, could not even hear Quan Zhen Sect's calls. Seeing the nine burly men inching in, Yang Nuo was pitiful and helpless as even rated things could happen.
Of course, this could happen in other books. Rotten content does not exist in this book.
Seeing Rolling Mario and the rest inch in, Yang Nuo frowned and panickedly asked, "Where is this?"
"Hehe!" Rolling Mario laughed, "Don't worry, you can't feel pain in the game!"
As he spoke, Rolling Mario gave a hand signal, "Attack!"
Rolling Mario was a very careful person. Although Yang Nuo was a girl, she was a girl from Quan Zhen Sect… She must not be too weak so Rolling Mario had arranged a tactic. Upon his order, Rolling Mario sent a [Holy Flame] at Yang Nuo to mute her.
"F*ck! Nine vs one and they still muted her. How shameless!" The players outside saw what Rolling Mario did, and were agitated. This b*stard really was the epitome of shamelessness.
Although Archer was a physical attack job, it had one of the lowest demand for skills. When they were outnumbered, the skills could still be executed and being able to control was very important. Rolling Mario muted Yang Nuo which was akin to handicapping her.
They already had the absolute upper hand but still did not dare to confront her. If this was not being shameless, what was it?
After Rolling Mario muted Yang Nuo, soon, two Guardians lifted their shield to block Yang Nuo from escaping. Under the protection of a Magician and Archer, two Assassins used [Haste] and ran towards Yang Nuo in [Stealth].
Rolling Mario hid at the back and yelled, "Stab her back, aim for instant death. Don't give her any opportunity to retaliate."
Seeing what happened, everyone despised Team Red Flame even more. Completely surrounding her in attacks… They really did not leave any way out… 
If it was usual tactics, everyone would think that Team Red Flame respected their opponent but after so much scheming, the nature of their actions changed.
However, Rolling Mario was like Fearless who used any tactic without caring what others thought. After all, this was a competition. It was most important to minimise damage on their side. So long as they could win, image was nothing.
Under Rolling Mario's command, their circle shrunk and Yang Nuo kept stepping backwards until she was almost forced into a corner of the scene.
By then, two Assassins had already charged to Yang Nuo, ready to stab her.
The Assassins were invisible to Yang Nuo but to her teammates and the spectators, they could see him as he was in a semi-transparent shadow.
Just as everyone thought Yang Nuo was going to die for sure, Yang Nuo suddenly took a step forward and the two Assassins' attack fell short.
Yang Nuo rotated to behind one of the Assassins. She lifted her crossbow and trigger and shot at that the back of the Assassin's head.
An Archer's regular attack was not strong compared to an Assassin's. Even though Assassin was a vulnerable job, they might not be killed in one shot. However, Yang Nuo's weapon was Ancient grade and she was a freestyle mode player which had extra damage added. After three continuous arrows, that Assassin was shot out of the battlefield before he could turn around.
<System Notification: You killed enemy, Lifeless Ji, and obtained one point.>
"F*ck! She counter-killed!" The players watching saw how Yang Nuo suddenly counter-killed and got surprised and emotional.
They were emotional as she was an expert but they were surprised that there was such a capable player in the preliminary round.
Even Ling Longmeng was stunned by Yang Nuo's counter kill.
All these while, Yang Nuo was quite low profile in the team especially when compared to a very high profile expert like Wang Yu, she did not stand out.
Hence, Ling Longmeng always thought Yang Nuo was on the same level or weaker than her. However, that one shot made her change her perception.
Yang Nuo's step forward seemed so casual as though she knew someone would assassinate her… For players to do that, they had to predict by counting the time and their speed from the moment they went in [Stealth]. Players were not AI robots and might change their actions midway so it was very hard to predict.
Ling Longmeng was even more surprised that Yang Nuo had stepped backwards quite a distance. She could multitask while moving back and determined their speed. This lady's skills was definitely nowhere below the rest of Quan Zhen Sect.
Of course, Ling Longmeng underestimated Yang Nuo's skills. She was also from a martial arts family and although she was not as eye-catching as Wang Yu, she had pretty good talent. Although she did not have a strong killer sense like Wang Yu, hers could still be felt within two metres… It was naturally not difficult to avoid an Assassin's attack.
"I didn't think she's so good," Ling Longmeng said in surprise.
Mu Zixian was still worried, "Sighs, there's still so many of them. I don't know if Little Nuo can handle it."
Ling Longmeng was not bothered, "Don't worry, a one-for-one exchange is good enough!"
"…" In the face of Ling Longmeng's generous calculations, Mu Zixian was speechless.
"F*ck, this girl is not simple! Hurry, protect Old Bai!"
Just as the spectators were in shock, the players from Team Red Flame reacted. Simultaneously, the Magician and Archer sent long-distance attacks towards Yang Nuo.
As the magic arrows flew down from the sky, Yang Nuo dodged aside and agilely hid behind the other Assassin, Bai Yutang.
Yang Nuo had a very small build and Bai Yutang was a man. Even though Assassins were agile too, he was still a lot bigger than Yang Nuo. She hid behind him, causing the long-distance attackers behind the Guardians to lose their target. Yang Nuo gently pushed Bai Yutang and he could not help but took a step forward.
"Dang!!" "Dang!!" "Boom!"
Two arrows and an icicle smashed on Bai Yutang's head, brutally wounding him. Yang Nuo took out a dagger from her waist and wrapped her hand around to slice it across Bai Yutang's throat, and he disappeared into a ray of light.
"Counter-killed two of them!!!"
Seeing how Yang Nuo killed another person, not only Twilight City's players, even Thorn City's players were happy for her.
Regular players might not even be able to confidently win their opponent in one-vs-one but on the battlefield, Yang Nuo was against nine people but she counter-killed two of them. What an expert. Whether or not she could escape this time around, she would be famous.
After killing the two Assassins, the tense expression on Yang Nuo's face relaxed.
Looking at Rolling Mario and the rest opposite, the corner of Yang Nuo's mouth lifted slightly and showed an evil grin.


Catching arrows, running up walls, crushing boulders and bending metal, these are but petty parlour tricks in the eyes of a true martial artist. But where can a martial artist stand in an era of material pursuit?

Join Wang Yu, the greatest martial genius the world has ever seen, as he takes on the gaming world of <<REBIRTH>>, where dragons, demons and immortals are more than just legends.

Emma Thompson woke up again from her nightmares where she revived everything. 
Her head was beaded in sweat and her whole body was soaking wet. The bed looked like she rolled all over the place or had a huge fight with someone.
Her feet touched warm plates and she slowly went into the bathroom to take shower. 
A couple of hours ago she realized one thing, she needs to become more dominant or people will take lightly her words.
The slight knock could be heard on the door. ''I am taking shower. Come in baby.''
Aisa saw the bed and sighed. Her mother had those nightmares again?
She slowly took off the covers and put fresh ones as long as Emma was in the bathroom.
When Emma came out and saw new sheets and covers she shook her head. ''Child I would have done that as well.''
''Mom, let me do some things for you as well. Grandpa Angus told me that Amish children help in the household so parents can live normal as well. It's not like I have big duties.''
Emma poked her head with a smile. ''My smart daughter is growing. But still, have your childhood as long as you can. As soon as we close the main gates the school will start as normal as any other time. You will have enough to do with that.''
Aisaa hugged Emma and cuddled in her embrace. ''Mom don't worry. I won't disappoint you. Actually I am a bit smarter than other kids, but I know your heart. I will play with them as long they don't annoy me. I still prefer to learn small crafts from Amish and jump around and play with the first people, I mean origins.''
''Just call them however they are comfortable to be called. But baby you should not bother them too much. OK?'' 
''I know. I like our place as well. Actually I like more our place than any other. But sometimes I wish to play with children. Thank you for letting other people in as well.'' Even tho she hated most children, she was after all human as well. Playing with other children occasionally was a fine thing to kill boring times.
Emma put this time serious suit and went out. Aisa followed her this time. She held her hand and had a slight smile but before the door opened the smile vanished and cold expression appeared on her face.
Mario truly regretted it. Because of his negligence, she changed so much. From cute little woman, she changed into a soaring dragon and was now even more unreachable as before.
She just passed him and his heart winced in pain but nothing was shown on his face.
''Did you succeed in your task?'' She walked to the main gate as she saw a bunch of busses arriving and a long line of huge trucks.
''Yes mam. They are here already. Here is the report.'' He gave her file and she swept through it and nodded.
''Good job. Who else is missing to enter? Did you get any news about the origin tribe elders?'
''They are on their way as well. Mam, I think there will be so many coming...''
''Those that want to live in the city can get apartments like others. Those that want to live on the seventh floor will be separately sent there. Even if they all live on the same space I can handle.''
Mario nodded. Space per level is huge. Just this place would need days to walk from side to the other. 
''Will they are able to arrive on time?'' She said while she saw some people descending the busses. 
''Yes.'' Mario stood slightly behind her and looked like her own bodyguard.
The female soldiers saw his stance and giggled but earned cold stare from him so they scrambled to help others unloading the stuff from the trucks.
''Luckily now we are left with the division of good people. I hope they will stay this way and not turn into something I would hate to see.
''I will keep my eyes now on them and give heavy punishments to those that dance out the line.'' 
She understood his intention to prove himself, but she didn't need him to turn into a monster so she just sighed.
''I killed those people because they were perverts. I can't have such people around here. But for minor dancing out the line, you can just give small punishments  AFTER consideration why they did that. Please...use word why!!!'' 
He was stunned seeing her annoyed. ''What did I do this time. I really don't understand... All I did...''
''You are OVERDOING it. Your job soon will be the most stressful one. Please do everyone favor and freaking relax dude. And ask questions before acting up. I need every human life in this place to survive and you are someone who will need to be collected the most as you do what I order you. I ant have people that are undecided in their heart.''
He gasped and realized finally. Shut up and do what you are told, then everyone will be happy.
he saluted and smiled brightly stunning not only everyone in the room, but even Emma's heart also thumped harder for a moment.
She turned her head and stared at families incoming. ''Just a bit longer and finally, we will be free to sleep a bit longer.''
She murmured and he almost started laughing but choose not to. It was hard to keep his face straight after that sentence so he turned to the office to get more reports while covering his laugh with coughs.
While after people were sent to their own accommodations first origins started incoming.
Different tribes and different ways of life. Some choose to be on their land and live freely but most choose the comfort of a house or apartment. Luckily she had enough space even for ten times the amount of people. So they could choose the living where ever they wanted.
Like Mario said thousands started incoming.
In the end, when even the last bus arrived all together over three thousand origins were on the list.
Emma finally smiled and looked at Mario's furrowed eyebrows. ''Speak.''
''I sent two people with helicopters to get their family members couple days ago, but they still are not here. I... '' He actually wanted to ask her to wait just a bit longer.
''How much time until closure is left?''
''3hrs and 54 minutes.'' 
''Where are they now?'' She needed the location so she can calculate the time they would need.
''they could arrive on time, or be late for few more minutes.''
''Did you read the manual?'' She looked at him straightforwardly and saw him nodding.
''Before we close the main gate first the walls will be erected. That will take another two hours of buffer time. I will keep the gate open those two more hours. After that no matter who is on the door, I will close it and not let in. Understood?''
What could he do and accept? Indeed she didn't have to leave the gates open but for his sake, she will use the buffer period. 
Suddenly from far five or six buses and few cars were driving towards their direction at high speed.
''Everyone on arms!!!'' He yelled and took his gun out his holster pointing it at the direction of the incoming vehicles. 
''Aisa, go!'' She looked ta the three female soldiers that nodded to her and took Aisa between them as they rushed towards the escalator.
She opened her bag and slowly took out the newest produced gas and anti-virus mask and waved her hand.
Everyone took their masks and put them on without questioning her actions.
She took the other gun from his holster and took a stance as well as the busses stopped and a bunch of people started gushing out there.
''Stop right there or we will shoot!!!'' Mario yelled through a megaphone.
The people froze and looked at each other.
One bolder man came a bit forward and was almost shot as the warning hit went in front of his feet.
He started yelling. ''Arent you bit unreasonable. We have right...''
Mario chuckled as he shot one more time toward the man's feet.
''This doesn't belong to the country you just came from. This is the private property of Aislin Country and we can kill anyone who oversteps its borders without our permission. So. Go back.''
He wanted to say something but a young woman just kicked his but ( literally ) and went a bit forward.
''Sorry we came in such a hurry. Miss Thompson, I am Helen Stavros and most people here are our family members. The rest is his assistant's families. My father and his assistants are trying to bring my grandmother as soon as they can as she needs medical care. So they will come later with the emergency car.''
Emma recognized the girl from dr.Stavros pictures. She nodded so they could enter. But this time she asked for a yellow alert. That means they could take only what they had on them until the screening room and then they would get new clothes.
Some clamored about the food and cloth they left but nothing softened her heart. 
''These things will be given to you after disinfection. Please do not be troublesome or you will be kicked out without the ability to enter ever again.''
They shut up after hearing those words. After all, they will get their stuff back after disinfection.
Emma stopped Helen. ''Dear where is he now?''
''Some hundred fifty miles away. How much time until lockdown.'' She looked at the clock that countdown and her head became beaded with sweat.
Emma looked at Mario. ''Do we have more helicopters''
He nodded. They had ten helicopters but only two are outside.
''Send someone to pick them up its faster with a helicopter. Go!!!''
Mario nodded and was about to jump in one helicopter that stood outside when he heard her calling. 
''Where the hell are you thinking on going?'' She stared at him through the mask angrily.
''I am actually the best pilot here. Call them so they are ready.'' He started the helicopter and then he felt hit on his arm.
''Idiot. Put the mask on and take the rest of the masks for them as well. And don't take any dangerous actions. Just pick them up and come straight back. Understood?!!''
He smiled as he put again his mask on and just smiled at her before taking off.
Her hair swirled in the wind as he flew up, but her stance was straight ramrod still. ''So strong even by such small frame, amazing.''
Suddenly he heard her voice over the headset. ''I am amazing and your duty is to keep this amazing woman safe. Don't piss me off. I am stressed enough even without your stubbornness.''
He smiled but answered with a deep and sexy voice. ''Yes, maaam.''
She literally cringed and took her headset off. ''Ugh, that man is giving me goosebumps. Was it a wise idea to keep him here? ... UGHHHHH.'' 
He could still hear her even tho the headset was not close to her.
A smile spread his face as he speeds up with the helicopter to his destination.

After dying in hands backstabbing friend that she thought of to be a sister she reopened her eyes and prepared for the final days before everything changes.
But to be able to protect her child she needs to clean some trash first. 
On the day of the apocalypse, she sat in her chair and a drunk glass of expensive vine. 
Want me to save you. Sure. The cow needs to be feed, the pigs need to be washed and manure needs to be spread on our fields.
Don't you want?
Go out and never come back.

~Third Person's Point of View~

"What is that commotion happening there?"

"It's so horrible enough to shake the whole town."

"What is it? Is someone dead?" 

"No, it's not just one but many. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I really can't believe that a girl someone like her did that."

"What's really going on there?" 

"Seven people found dead in that old church, and right now they are looking for a girl named Angela."

"But why? A witness?"

"No, no, no. She's the one who did this... The murderer."

Many people were compiling outside the old church and trying to get a glimpse of the dead bodies. In the meantime, a lot of policemen, detectives, and reporters were gathering in one place surrounding the church, while the seven corpses were laying on a queue covered by a black blankets. Many police officers are could be seen in every corner of the town to look for a girl as known for being responsible for the crime. 

In the distant, three detectives were having a discussion about the case. 

"Is this really gonna be fine? Accusing a girl as our prime suspect?" 

A petite blonde girl wearing a simple white polo shirt and black long pants questioning the decision of the police chief. She's a freshman and this is will be her first case. 

"Who else then? Officer Lim clearly told us that she's the one who did this. He saw it."

A guy wearing eyeglasses said as he wrote something on his notebook. He is also a freshman.

The police officer called Lim was one of the search team that was looking for the missing little girl Aby, and when he came to the church that's when they discovered the dead bodies. 

"But he only saw that Angela running away and not the time of killing so, he didn't really see her in action." the detective girl said as if she's defending Angela. 

"And that still the same, Bea. It doesn't matter if he saw it in action or not, what matters here is that she ran away and no signs of her till now. That just indicates that she doesn't want to get caught."

"So that's why she's the murderer?" she asked in disbelief. 

"Exactly. Isn't that right, Detective Khan?" 

He said as the both of them looked at their senior detective. A tall guy wearing a long silver earring on his right ear, Detective Khan. But while the two detectives were talking he was just carefully looking at the corpses near behind him.

He turned his head on the two detectives, "That's right. Your deduction is getting better, Mario." he praised him. 

Bea gave him a glare that he just ignored. The guy detective called Mario smirked at Bea, but she ignored him and looked at the dead bodies. Then, she walked towards it, near in the smallest corpse.

"Isn't Angela who saved this kid from the Maiden?" she asked. 

But detective Khan only nodded and did not say anything about the case. 

"That's the orphanage massacre case and that's already closed as we confirmed that the deceased Maiden Anna is the one who killed the children." Mario said, "You were not that time when we had a meeting with these bounty hunters, and how that Angela acted so strange."

Detective Khan on the other hand noticed something on the bushes. It was moving as if something was hiding behind these bushes. He tried to get closer on this when an old man suddenly showed up in front of him. 

"Long time no see, Detective Khan."

The old man greeted him as he gave his hand to shake hands with him, but detective Khan didn't accept it instead he bowed his head on him. 

"It's nice to see you back, Chief."

The two detectives ran towards them as they saw the chief detective's arrival. 

"This small town is really strange don't you think. So many corpses are getting found day by day." the old man said then he walked and looked at each one of the corpses laying on the floor. 

"Your granddaughter is not one of them, Chief." Mario informed him. 

"Well then, where is she? Didn't you say that you found her?" 

"She is missing again, Chief."

He is the chief detective of the group from the big city. The team was searching for the chief's granddaughter that was gone for 13 years, together with its mother. 

The chief could not do anything and just let a deep sigh, "I thought I can finally see her... Anyway, report the situation."

Mario was the one who reported the situation, "A total of seven corpses that were found, a child, an old maiden, and five bounty hunters."

The chief glanced at the corpses, "Are these the so-called Mythics hunters?"

"Yes." Mario answered. 

"And they are also my granddaughter's friends. I still can't believe that she's been hunting wanted people all these years with them." the chief said. 

"It's already been five hours since the corpses were found by Officer Lim." Mario continued.

"Tell me about these hunters." the chief commanded. 

"According to my information, the total members of Mythics are eight. Five of them are dead including their leader, Ash. Your granddaughter is missing and the murderer escaped while the other one who was luckily survived named Nami is currently in our care." 

"So, the one who did this is one of the hunters." 

"Yes, Chief. It's a girl and her name is Angela. I'm sure that your granddaughter Akane managed to escape from her."

Mario said while Bea and Detective Khan were just silently listening. Bea wanted to talk also but Detective Khan stopped her, even though he is her senior she's impudent towards him. 

"Hmmmm... So, where is this the lucky girl Nami?" the chief asked. 

"She's in the infirmary room of the police headquarters, Chief." Bea answered the chief. "She wasn't that lucky at all, Chief."

The chief looked at her as he got amused by her confidence, "Go on, tell me the details."

"This is actually strange, Chief. Nami only got shot by a gun whereas these five people died because of a poisonous knife. All of their bodies had a lot of cuts and a deep stabbed in the heart. Their leader Ash had a severe wound on his stomach but the caused of his death was through stabbing him on his heart. But the strange in this case is that, Nami didn't get a single cut and only got shot on her arm, that's why she's still alive." Bea's deduction that made them speechless. 

"Hmmmmm..." the chief's expression while holding his chin indicating that he's thinking very carefully regards to what Bea just said. 

"I talked to Nami and it seems like she couldn't remember a single thing that happened on this massacre." Detective Khan mentioned that made her shock. Bea also got to talk at Nami but it's different from what she heard. 

At the same time, inside a small infirmary of the police headquarters. 

Nami was currently laying on the bed and crying. She woke up an hour ago when Detective Khan came in to her room alone. He had asked her for few questions, but she didn't say anything. She only said 'I don't know... I don't remember.' in every questions. And as the detective left the room she started crying. 

"Damn it. Why did this happen? Why did she do that???"

She still couldn't believe all what happened to her comrades, to the family that she only has... And now it's gone. She clenched her fist tightly as she bit her lips till it bleeds. 

"This is not the time to cry. I have to leave this place and find her... I have to find Ela and tell her everything. I have to... As the last task that leader gave to us, I have to find her."

She wiped her tears as someone knocked the door. 

"So, this is Nami. One of my granddaughter's friends."

The four detectives came inside the room and saw Nami still sleeping. She decided to act like that because she didn't want to hear any questions from them anymore. She didn't want to get interrogated. She stayed still while her eyes are closed and listening to their conversation. 

"I have to leave this place so, Ela please... Be safe, until I find you."

On the other hand, in the deep forest, Ela was walking and breathing heavily while she was holding her arm to cover the blood that kept on flowing from her wound. 

She once again got stumbled and fell on the rocky ground. She moaned in pain due to her arm and she's been loosing so much blood since she ran away and left the town, and right now she had no clue on what to do or what will happen to her. 

Ela didn't even care anymore if she would see again the sun or not at her situation. She wanted to rest, that was what she only thinks about at the moment. 

On the way, there was a big tree ten steps away from her position. That would be her best spot to rest so, she pushed herself to crawl towards that tree. Although, her right arm was feeling so numb she was still trying to get there using her legs and left arm. 

For some reason, she couldn't understand why she was still moving, why she kept on walking, why she ran away, why she was hiding, and why she didn't give up. 

She just wanted to rest but that doesn't mean she wanted it till forever. She didn't care if she would see the sun or not, but she was hoping to see the moon and watch it till the sun replaces it. 

After all what happened to her life ever since her grandpa died, she still wanted to live. 

| It's your fault. |

The demon voice once again disturbing her mind. It didn't want her to have some peace. But Ela didn't care, she didn't have the energy to fight against the demon anymore.

| If you just kill that old lady he wouldn't die, because of you all this turned into nightmare. | 

She ignored the voice and kept on crawling. 

| Because of you.. all of them died. Those people that gave the warmth of a family and the man that you love so much... all of them died because of you. |

She felt like what she was trying to reach is seemed so far from her, miles away from her, an impossible distance to reach. She felt like the more she kept on crawling the more she was getting slower... Like a snail, all alone on its shell.

| It's your fault. It's your fault. It's your fault.! You killed them all! |

Like a snail that doesn't have anything else and yet it still keeps on crawling to get the thing that it wants to see. And Ela could be compared to a snail as she didn't stop on reaching that big lonely tree. It was midnight and the light of the moon never fails its duty, to make everything shine and let everyone know that even in darkness there is a light. And that is why Ela wanted to reach that tree to see the source of light. 

She kept on crawling and the devil was also kept on disturbing her. But she was almost there. 

| It's your fault. You killed them. You killed those who already considered you as their family. |

Finally, she reached the tree. It was now in front of her. Ela looked at it then she took a deep breath as she used all her strength to get up and rest her back against the big trunk of the tree while holding her bleeding arm. She was panting. Ela was so tired that she couldn't feel her senses anymore but even so, she looked up to the moon. 

The moon who does nothing but to impress every person who look at it, on how breath taking its beauty. 

Suddenly, she got frozen by what the demon said to her. 

| It's you who killed them. Just like before, you killed that man who was trying to **** you. You killed him. It's also because of you why your grandfather died. You killed everyone. |

She lowered down her head. 

| That's right. Remember it all. Don't forget your past, don't forget who you really are... Zoey. |

Tears started to flow down from her eyes, from her tired eyes.

| It's all your fault, Zoey. |

She didn't say anything, she couldn't utter a single word or have any strength to stop this darkness. She was just letting the tears to express what her heart couldn't say, even though she had no one there to express it. 

Maybe, it's not bad to take some rest... Was what she thought before she closed her eyes. 

The next morning, a little boy with a wooden stick was walking in the middle of the forest. His grandpa at the moment was done picking up some herbs. 

"Nayan, don't go ahead by yourself. Wait for me." the old man warned the kid as he started following him. 

"Be faster old man, I'm so hungry." the boy called Nayan said then his stomach let out a loud growl indicating that he was saying the truth. 

His grandpa giggled. After picking up some herbs they decided to have their breakfast in the open green field. That was a perfect place to have a their picnic together and eat the sandwiches that his grandma made for them. 

"Grandpa, I can see now the big tree, so hang in there!" the kid shouted in excitement. 

"OK! OK! You can go there first, I'll catch up!" the old man shouted back, "Haaa~ Just what did he think his grandpa is? I'm still strong enough to beat that brat."

He murmured but suddenly he stopped walking when his sight caught something on the ground. He squatted as he touched the red liquid on the ground. 

The old man got stunned, "Wait... This is a blo----"

"Old mannnn.!" Nayan screamed as he was running so fast towards his grandpa. 

The old man immediately stood up when Nayan arrived in front of him, "What happened??"

When Nayan's breathing went back to normal he started panicking. His legs wasn't calming while he was pointing the big tree. The old man somewhat guess what was going on. 

"THERE'S A CORPSE LADY IN THE BIG TREE, GRANDPA!"

To be continued...
