Somewhere within the Young Sector 99—
"Hmmmm~" Holak let the scorching desert sun sting and kiss his thick, battle-hardened skin as he lay sprawled lazily on a beach-style couch, the kind nobles usually put in front of ocean waves. He was almost half-naked—bare chest, relaxed limbs—and the satisfied smile on his face grew brighter and deeper with every passing second, as though the heat itself were fueling his pleasure.

"I'll kill you!!!"
"Hmm?" Holak's expression tightened in mild annoyance, then he lazily tilted his head downward and placed a massive finger on his lips. "Shhhhh~!!!"

"Hmmmm.." Only when he was fully convinced that the slaughter occurring below had shifted back to 'silent mode' did he allow a slow grin to return, resuming his enjoyment of the desert sun as if nothing mattered in existence except its warmth.
It had been several years since Holak personally left his palace to search for new recruits for the Imperial Guards.
