Chapter 3 - Daydreaming

In another world, just appearing in front of him.

The end of the marching miles, the characters crawls side by side, everything is blurry by the rain in the game and everything is turned into the perfect shadow.

Xing breathes, breathes, and continues to play. As it seems, it's like 3 AM, and another world just seems to appear in front of him. He closes his eyes, seeing the game through. He sees a lot of characters and a lot of joy. There have been no ventures since then into his mind.

Imagine, it was Suna, she was real. She was crafting an arrow out of some wood and there was some cord, while some other man, a bit smaller, about half Japanese, came around her.

"Hi Suna, how are you, Lev?"

"I'm okay, just hunted a bit. So, we've got the situation with Mr. Odell?"

"I've got it. Unfortunately, we can't get away from it."

"I know. Something was weird. It was like a night watch over them. It was, well, we should kill Nar."

"Yes, the Jester seems to move. They moved a lot lately. We have a command out of them. They want us to hunt in the town."

"Hunting the town? What a useless thing!"

"Maybe, but you know, our Jesters always know better things than we do."

"I know, and also they seem so maleficent. I fear that one day..."

"Stop thinking about this! It's nonsense in our situation. We fight an enemy that can turn back time, and we don't know how he does this."

"I know, Suna, but those Jesters are maleficent. We know that they are on our side now, but in the world I originally was born, there were people called Titans. They weren't like the Titans from our mythology. They were beings that were undying, incredible strength, as you are, maybe. But I'm a seal as well."

"Yes, we are the seals, but I doubt we can beat the Jesters. We can't, we can't beat them, especially when they are allied. But somehow we can beat them when they are alone. So it's not in our advantage for us to be friends or be friends."

"I know, but I question whether Mr. Malakia is not a solution to our problem. I doubt if he was a solution, then I'd run with it."

The discussion ended when someone appeared. "Hey you, how are you, Lev, the castle? I'm... we are... are you plotting against us? Ha ha," says the Jester, apparently a maleficent one. He was dressed in a robe. Under the robe, he had some silk pants, along with a hat. He said his hair was long, like until covering the whole shoulder blade, and the crimson. His eyes were green, a green like plants green, and he wore some sort of strange slippers, not some sandals, not some slippers. It was strange, oddly fitted clothing.

"So, Crimson, do you have something for us?"

"No, no, not really. Just going hunting in the town. We need to distract Odell from our plan."

"And then?"

"Nothing, nothing. We just play."

Crimson looked around. He never met his eyes with Lev or Suna.

"Crimson, we've got a situation."

"I know, I know, but let it be. Believe me, it's gonna be to our advantage."

Later, he ended the discussion and moved forward. The castle took the arrow and then left it. He didn't understand Lev's 'let's go'.

"We must hunt!"

They went to meet the others, the family that represents the werewolf. They were cursed by the main family, the Duval family, to be their slaves and also human slaves, as Duval were as well. Suna knows, she knows better than everyone that her fight is a fight, a struggle to survive or die. But how to die? Apparently, she recalls the moment when she died, the moment that Suna gets swept away when friends came.

"Hi Suna, be concentrated! We must know what the Jester said!"

"I know, let's go!"

They change into WarWolf form, and Lev starts flying over his prey. He was flying around the town along with Mikasa, who was a werewolf as well. But something's pretty weird about that, not Suna nor Mikasa. What does Mikasa mean? Mikasa, my house. It was a name given by her lover. Her lover was a part of the main family of the slaves of Duval's. His family name was Sinarosa, and he was just Riner, not any other name. For her, she was like every time she sees him, she jumps into his embrace. His warm touch, he's always holding her, sharing food with her. And Crimson, the Jester, but apparently some sort of relationship developed along with them, something that Suna seems to enjoy. So they went into the town in the werewolf form, but they were not fully transformed. They were like bigger wolves. They went and bit everybody on the street without a specific target.

There, above the sky, someone standing at the desk with lots of monitors seems displeased.

"Please, not again! What are they plotting about, Feitan? You go!"

But he looks in the direction of the Chinese little boy. He was no older than 11 or 12. He was short and his hair was somehow straight but somehow very, very messy. He wore a scarf over his mouth that covered half of his face. But apparently, Feitan was not moving. He didn't move, but more likely he was held by something, something invisible. But Feitan didn't move as well because of something that was like cords.

But Nar, something more concerning about the situation. Someone enters the door. It was a magnificent boy. He was like 20, black hair, long hair, black eyes, and silky skin the color of the snow. Up came Chiara, and then another boy who looked like Mongols, like the Mongols who walk over the road of seals. His hair was blue on the side and perfectly arranged, laid over his back. He was wearing all black clothes, the same as the other boy, but his eyes were almost like...

"So, congrats, Nar, we are here!"

Nar didn't have time to move. As soon as he could breathe, he was caught by a knife.

"Okay, I got it!" and then he put his knife into, planted a knife into his ears hard, while the other hunted the woman who was standing on the desk.

"No, no, Chiara, you're coming with me!"

Chiara was caught and stabbed as well as Nar. But something pretty weird: Feitan was released by the strange plant that kept him from moving. And then he looked around at them.

"So we are done?"

"Apparently, yes. Is there any other trap we have to look at?"

"No, I, um, I disarmed all the traps around. So there is no trap this time. It's over."

"Yes, the institution of Consul is finally disarmed. This was hard."

"This is not the end," says Anton. "This is not the end. We should move forward. We need to get rid of the old Magos."

"Yes, the old insane Magos is still a danger to our plans. What a drag!"

"No, Lux, look around. We have the power to control the Consul."

"Actually, not," said Feitan. "We don't have the power to control the Consul above the sky because only Nar can do this. I myself can't do anything about this, neither Chiara nor me. So you say that we just... yes, we just get away from Nar's tyranny. So what a funny joke! Now we have to find a way to get over this situation, a way to turn back home."

"Yes, but I'm concerned about the fact that, you know, Suna and the dead villain, and then she returned."

"I know, and you can master the Body-Tiff as well as Coarse and the Grimoires."

"I know, it's pretty weird. My old man mastered the Body-Tiff as well. He's fun, he had it in everything."

"Yes, but you know what Seok Gin did? Let's not talk about this," says Anton. "Let's go. We have to deal with humans as well. Now that Nar is not on our way, we can do anything we want."

"Not exactly, you know. We tried many things in the past, but apparently Nar protected this world from something."

"Yes, but then a voice into Lux's head seems to say, 'She's back! She's back!'"

"Who's back? Who's back?" he said into his head. Only his mind could hear the voice. The voice back, the voice back.

And then he turned. "Gin said that the voice was back, the voice was back from..."

"Yes, she's back again! Let's go talk to her!"

And then they descended the staircase, their way to the modern world. Everything was dark. It was night. Apparently, Nar was so focused on stopping the werewolf from causing this chaos in the human world that he didn't observe when Anton and Lux were going on the staircase to get him. Feitan descended as well. She goes to the modern world just in time to catch Zoe, who was greeting everyone.

"Right now, I'm so glad you're here! I'm so glad I see you all! So, Zoe, congrats! Come back, come to us! I'm glad you returned!"

"Yes, but this time I have such bad news. Tell us more!"
