The forest was thick. Their branches blocked out the sky. The only light came from the moon, thin and pale through the leaves.Hiroshi walked slowly. His feet were quiet on the dead leaves. His eyes were actively scanning and his ears were listening to pick even the faintest sound.The System's blue light flickered in his vision.LitRPG:[Children's Location: 200 meters ahead. Old hunting cabin. Hostiles: 2 armed men.]Hiroshi nodded and stopped waking. He pressed his back against a tree to peep what's ahead.He saw a small cabin made of old wooden walls. The roof was rusted. A single light glowed from the window. Yellow but dim.He could hear their voices before he even saw them.First was a man's voice loud and angry tone "I said move faster! We do not have all night!"He could hear children's voices crying loudly.Another voice. This one sounded calm and younger."They are just kids. They cannot move fast.""I do not care! Move them! Now!"Hiroshi moved closer. He crouched behind

Mr. Endo spoke again. His voice was tired. "What do you want us to do?"Kazuo walked back to his chair. He put his hands on the back of it."Go home," he said. "Make your calls. Reassure your investors. Tell them this is a conspiracy. Tell them we have the situation under control.""And if they do not believe me?" Mrs. Fujiwara said."Then they can leave," Kazuo said. "And they can lose their money. And they can watch us rebuild without them."Mrs. Yamamoto stood up. Her chair scraped against the floor. Her sharp eyes were fixed on Kazuo."And if we leave?" she said.Kazuo smiled. It was not a nice smile."Then you will regret it," he said.Mrs. Yamamoto stared at him for a moment. Then she sat back down.The meeting continued. People argued. Kazuo listened. He did not raise his voice nor did he lose his temper.But his hands, which were hidden behind his back, were curled into strong fists.Back at the apartment, Hiroshi was sitting on the couch.He had his feet up on the coffee tabl

Ren was sitting on the couch with his phone in his hand. His eyes were wide. His mouth was open."Yuki!” he said. "Come here."Yuki was in the kitchen. She rushed to the living room. "What?""Come here. Now."She walked over. She looked at his phone. Her face went pale."Oh my God. Ten billion credits," she said with a shocking expression. "In less than six hours."Ren scrolled down. "It says the police received evidence. Paper evidence. Someone mailed it to them."Yuki sat down next to him. She leaned over his shoulder."Organ trafficking," she said. Her voice was quiet. "They were trafficking organs. In the containers."Ren nodded. He looked at her. His face was pale."The Kuroda empire," he said. "My goodness Ren. These people are evil.”“Actually, they are finished. Though, the police are yet to carry out a thorough investigation. Only God knows how this leaked to the press.”In the Kuroda Empire, the conference room was full.The long table was surrounded by men and women in expen

The officer's fingers moved to the zipper. It was loose. He then zipped the bag open.Inside were not drugs. Not powder. Not anything illegal. It was a clear bag filled with new clothes. Shirts. Socks. Underwear. Brand new. All folded neatly.He blinked. He reached inside and pulled out a shirt. He held it up. It was a plain white t-shirt."What?" he said.His face was confused. His jaw was dropped. His mouth opened and he closed it immediately."What is this?" he said to no one in particular. His voice was flat.The female officer stepped closer. She looked inside the bag. She pulled out a pair of socks.She raised one side of her cheeks. "They are just clothes," she said. Her voice was a whisper. She looked at the tall officer.Ren exhaled so loud he almost choked. His shoulders dropped. His hands fell to his sides. He looked at Hiroshi. His eyes were wide.Yuki let out a sound. It was more like a laugh. Half sob. Her hands were no longer over her mouth. She was smiling. She was cry

Hiroshi squatted to the level of Himari. He rubbed her hair and wiped her tears with his finger. “I will be right back,” he said. “Okay?”Himari nodded and said meekly. “Promise?”“Promise,” he smiled and turned to leave the hospital. He had his hand on the exit door."Excuse me sir. At the entrance door," a voice called out.He turned. A nurse was walking toward him. She was young. Her hair was pulled back in a tight ponytail. She was holding a clipboard with papers attached."Are you the one who brought in the boy?" she said gently."Yes. I am."She handed him the clipboard. "I need you to fill out these forms. Medical history. Next of kin. Insurance information."Hiroshi looked at the forms. Then at the nurse. "He is not my brother. I do not know him."The nurse blinked. "You do not know him?""No. I found him in an alley. He was attacked. His sister was with him. The little girl over there."The nurse looked at the girl. Himari was sitting in the waiting room, her eyes red. She wa

Ren dipped his hand into his bowl of popcorn and threw a piece at Yuki. It hit her on the forehead and bounced into her lap."Hey!" She picked it up and threw it back at him. It missed him by a mile and landed on the floor somewhere."Terrible throw huh," Ren said as he laughed carefreely."That was a great throw. You just have bad reflexes, you know.""Bad reflexes?” He leaned back and placed his feet up on the coffee table. "I caught three pieces earlier. Three pieces. You were right there.""You got lucky three times.""Luck is just skill in disguise."Yuki shook her head and grabbed the remote. She flipped through channels until some old black and white movie came on. A man in a hat talking to a woman in a dress."What is this?" Ren said."No idea. It was just on.""Change it please. Looks boring.""You change it.""Girl, you're holding the remote."Yuki looked down at the remote in her hand. Then at him. She threw it at him.He caught it. One hand. Didn't even look up."See?" he
