"Hey girl! Janesi...do you still remember us?" Lizie tried to act light. But Janesi isn't even turning to look at her. She was heading to no one's voice only to Sareash. And Sareash was talking to her in a language the players don't understand. Except for Carsen, of course, he gets all that Sareash was saying to Janesi. He understands that he was commanding him to kill them. Looking at Janesi, Carsen knows that she is under Sareash influence. He perhaps had used that hypnotic language on her. "Who do you wanna challenge then?" Sareash asked JanesiAnd she pointed to Carsen. Sareash burst a laugh. "Okay, let the battle begin!" Sareash yelled. Janesi removed the gloves in her fists and swung a strong right as she rushed. Carsen, actually has no plans of combating her so he was firm that he's not going to use his ability. Expect this duel would be more like a fist fight. Carsen met her halfway and responded with a blow of his own. His blow was quicker and made the Janesi fl
Boom!!Panic had broken out in the tranquil underground hiding place at the sound of bombs detonating.Robin acted as if it was no big thing, saying, "Don't worry folks, that's just another plane crashing down because it has no gas." The number of times it occurred today seemed to increase with each passing instance.There is chaos in the streets of El Rotosi, and in the Lord's shelter, even in Jade Peaks, even in the areas of the Castellans. Some media networks were forced to cease operating. There has been an unexplainable death toll arising. Fear is creeping into the houses of whatever hierarchies. There is a mysterious murder going on. Every night whether cries or agonizing screams were heard and dead bodies resurfaced in a day. " What are the small holes in their flesh?" Robin asked the crime scene investigator. Yet no one could confirm what really is the thing that's doing the killing. No one can, maybe, unless the murderer showed up in the day, or showed up front. But t
A world of free commodities is just a dream. That kind of world doesn't exist for the basic principle in this human world is, you get to eat through your sweat. All comes with a price. All comes with a condition, and though Jimmie's new world order doesn't require money for people to have food, clothings and shelter, yet the exchange of that was more than money -- their identity, their freedom. The perfect world was just therefore an illusion. Yeah, it doesn't exist. Not here. Yeah, Eden, this human world is no paradise. Maybe at one point, it was...It was before when the universe realms and the lands therein are all living in peace. Carsen darted a glare at Sareash astonish at what he uttered. Trading. It seems that this word has been engraved deep in the boundless' system, or perhaps the Vilgroi had influenced them much. Trading. Bargaining. These are what he is trying to do right now. Right now that he knows he's not gonna win over him. Right now that he's captured by
How could I kill a friend who had just saved me a while ago? Carsen thought to himself. His eyes lifted to stare at Jiggs's face. He saw sadness. He saw fear and hesitation. "Hit me now!" Carsen uttered in an authoritative tone. But Jiggs shook his head. He doesn't want to hurt him. The boundless beings who were watching them got pissed. They wanted a scene, an action. But it seems that these two players won't be giving them what they wanted. They whined. They threatened them with the consequences in case they refuse to fight each other, but still, Carsen and Jiggs weren't moving. Both are hesitating. None of them wanted to inflict hurt on the other. -----Sareash Sareash got pissed off then. If nothing happened now, for sure his group will suffer. And he doesn't want that. Is this how humans are? Emotional? He thinks. Looking at the player's faces could tell that they were disturbing some forlorn emotions in him he doesn't want to confront. Compassion. Friendship. L
The game operator was hesitant about whether he will obey Harpie's order or not. Somehow, he's still human. He can feel mercy. And right now it seemed not a moral decision to throw the players into another game with their bodies being sick. How can they exactly play? Except that their frail bodies will be just torn by the perilous game system. But he is here too without choice, trapped by Harpie's wicked scheme. He had seen what she had become and he knows what she is now. Death is his only choice if he'll defy her. But---The game operator sighed. " Yeah, m--master," he hesitantly replied, hiding the hesitation on his face. Harpie then curved a menacing smile. "Good," she patted the game operator's shoulder, and she heard the recording of her own voice being played in the game world as she exits the system control room. This will be my last day, but I cannot betray my race. The game operator thinks. He glanced nervously at the door where Harpie exits checking if she had comp
"We came here to give you your freedom," Usiu said. The boundless smirked. " Freedom? We don't need those! We're fine here!" Usiu then manifested his halo, engulfing himself in that circular round energy of his. "Have you forgotten that scars in your palms originally look like this one?" he said. But there was no reaction in the boundless. Assesing at how they looked, Usiu could tell they were spiritual boundless. Their form was either tangible or non. It was surreal. It was in between. But this kind of boundless was considered the strongest in the boundless realms. Their elder Tadhiel was the strongest among them. But where is he? "Where are the others?" Usiu asked. "Others?" " The other boundless," " Boundless? What is that?" Usiu's eyes widened. He looked at Talyn as if wanting to say something. Now they understand how these boundless beings become Vilgroi's servants. They forget who they were. So, this is the effect of the Harlot Song? Usiu thinks. He doesn't re
FlashbackAmong the race of the boundless, the physical boundless are considered the weakest it was because they have a more solid physical form, and this form was viewed as most vulnerable compared to other boundless. The differences in the physiology of the boundless beings caused division in them. There has been a cold war, a separation, although they live in the same realm, and belong to the same race. Yet at this time, the entire universe realms are still at peace, and though there is division among the boundless still they can't afford to engage in a war. The boundless beings tried to be united and peaceful despite the tension. Aside from that, they're the kind who doesn't like chaos. Though they have lots of internal issues, they still choose to hold unto their innate virtue as peaceful beings in the entire universe realms. But that was until the Vilgroi declared insurgency against the High Council and against all the realms in the universe. If there's something that can easil
"Why are you quiet there?" Jiggs interrupted Carsen's thought. Carsen shook his head. " Nothing..." he forced a smile. " I'm thinking if we could go out and find something to eat while the voice isn't calling us for the next game," he suggested. " Yeah! That's brilliant!" The other players agreed. The Nipana Sheet is one true beauty. The wide thick sheet of glacier laid on the earth ground was perfect, escpecially now that the sun was up there striking snow. The air was cold. Yet, there's not a tree noe animals around. That's the downside here. This place is more like just a paradise of ice. "Maybe we need to look further!" Lizie suggested pointing at the end of the vast ice. " Maybe there are trees in there...and some hervibores," she muttered. It took them a long time until they find some wood sticks to lit a fire."Wait!" Carsen muttered. He noticed foot prints on the ice. It seemed of a four legged animal. Then they heard screeching sound nearby. He flexed out h
