As the whole world is busy arguing in the Merverlem Empire, the 5 heads of a powerful institution are gathering for an important meeting discussing their assigned mission by Emperor Charles the Great.
As Emperor Charles the Great wanted to know everything about the Unchosen One
Magus Vatalord: I have read the report regarding the Unchosen One challenging one of the Magnificent 28, and the result was quite unexpected for an unstoppable legend from 3000 years ago. He represented himself as a force that the world is supposed to struggle against, but it seems to be nothing but a legend and a myth. I suppose history can be exaggerated.
Magus Zenladan: Leodard Bruce has proven himself again. I suggest we should consider the Lusain Tannia Kingdom to enter the list.
Magus Horlim: No, it is still too early until they are able to create another Brilliant generation. Right now, it feels more like luck than something they actually achieved because Leodard Bruce is the first Brilliant generation to be born in the Lusain Tannia's land.
After Magus Horlim had spoken, the room went silent for a few minutes.
Magus Gwansa: Now, back to the main discussion, The Unchosen One has now proven to be manageable, so we will act accordingly to capture him. A worldwide search for the Unchosen One will begin as soon as next month, with this Magus Willson. It seems we will need your Department's expertise to make a accurat decription of him for the wanted poster.
Magus Willson: I will do all I can to assist
Meanwhile, in the Maleverlem Empire, a party was held by a royal Family member of the Empire.
Nobleman Han, a man that know and is heavily involved in the empire's affairs as he talks and laughs with other guests
A guest from the Supreme Nation suddenly approached him. Once the nobleman sees him, he immediately tells his butler to arrange a room for their meeting.
They entered the room and sat down.
Nobleman Han: It's a pleasure to see you again
The Guest he confuse as he asks himself, "Gold."
The Guest: Oh, yes, I completely forgot, but never mind that for now, I wanted to continue our previous conversation
Nobleman Han: Oh, yes, so what else do you want to continue
The guest expected him to mention a little bit of the previous conversation, so he would get a hint of what the last conversation was about, but the Nobleman Han didn't mention anything, leaving the Guest stuck.
The Guest: Would you be so kind as to repeat our last conversation
Nobleman Han: Hmm, Why
The Guest: Just to make sure you understand and remember it clearly
Nobleman Han: I'm very sure we have already agreed on it. You also mentioned that I shouldn't mention something that has already been said.
The Guest: Please, Lord Han, I wanted to confirm it. I know I'm being rude right now, but I must be because my superior keeps wanting to make sure everything is clear and understandable.
Nobleman Han: I can assure you, I have understood it very well
The Guest: But if we try to continue our next conversation, everything will be incredibly confusing
Nobleman Han: There is no need to worry about something like that. I'm a businessman, and I have gone through many complex plans before
The Guest suddenly shifts his tone and speaks to the Nobleman more boldly as he stares at the noble intensely.
The Guest: You seem to be very uncooperative, Lord Han. I must ask for your full attention and respond decisively to what I just asked. Your cooperation is seriously appreciated.
Nobleman: I apologize. Please let him serve you a cold drink to light up the moon.
The nobleman Han called his butler to enter the room and told him to come closer to him. The butler picked up the wine glass, then suddenly, the nobleman grabbed the butler's arm intensely. Nobleman Han looks at his butler's eye intensely for a few seconds before letting go of his hand.
Nobleman Han can feel his heart beating incredibly fast, despite the room being slightly cold; his body is heating up and starting to sweat, then look at the Guest. He smiles and confronts the Guest.
Nobleman Han: Tell me, since when did you find out?
The Guest: You're catching on quite fast
The nobleman Han feels this weight, it almost as if his body is being pressed to the ground intently. He can feel his body starting to shake.
The Guest: Listen here, Han, we have bathed you with wealth for years, so what more do you want? Many of the corruption you have committed have been overlooked by the organization, and yet it still doesn't satisfy you. Judging by your look, it seems that no such amount in the world will be enough.
The Nobleman stood up and responded back with an angry tone.
Nobleman Han: Shut it, I do not want to hear anything from any of you, you never gifted me with anything I wanted. What I want is to be like the Land Family or the Matalton Family. I want their influence and power, and none of you will ever be able to give me that.
The Guest looks at the Nobleman.
The Guest: Then I suppose you are not needed, Anymore. I am thank you for your service and appreciate your cooperation for so long,
The Guest walks out, with his hand filled with blood as the butler walks toward the door, he see the fake guest and runs to the main hall as the Guest chases him, then suddenly in the main hall a horrifying scream echoes in the whole mansion, the butler tries to scream as loud as he can to attract attention, a few guard manage to get there in time to see the Fake Guest face, before he disappear into thin air.
Nobleman Han died in the room, and later an investigation was launched while the royal family was trying everything they could to hide it from the public.
Tomorrow morning, the royal guard raided the Guest's mansion, but when they entered his room, they found his lifeless body instead, and judging by how his body looked, it seems that this guest has been dead for a few months now.
That raises the question: Who was that man from last night?
However, the investigator also noticed that before the man's death, it seemed that he was writing something, but the letter that he was writing is missing. Many professionals gathered together through a cooperation from both nations, the Maleverlem Empire and the Supreme Nation, to find out what he was doing before his death, and who was behind it, what kind of letter he tried to deliver, and to whom
A few days later, the Nobleman Han's family suddenly went missing; they are nowhere to be found, adding another mystery to the incident.
While they are busy trying to solve it, the Letter is actually being delivered to the Supreme Nation, and it reveals something that will turn the whole world upside down.
The Operation to slaughter the whole Maleverlem Empire's Royal Family, it will be carried out by a powerful organization under direct order of the Emperor of the Redecan Empire.
The Situation has shifted again, at first it was about trying to control the economy; now it has spiraled into a massive, giant mess that needs more than just a brain to resolve. Laora keeps encountering more and more problems as she goes.
Me: Crap, too much needs a plan, so it won't feel confusing
Meanwhile, deep in the forest somewhere in the Western World, Liatart has awoken from his injury.
The Great Dark: Oh, you waken, despite I have thrown many healing potions and magic on you, your body just won't fully heal, it looks like it will need some time for it to heal up
Liatart looks around. He looks at his hand. Then he tries to stand up, but his legs give up on him, causing him to fall down on his face.
The Great Dark: Your body can't handle it yet, let it heal and rest
But Liatart still tries to stand up anyway and walk.
The Great Dark: Where are you going
Liatart: Somewhere, so I can relax
As he walked, he reached a cliff, he sat down, and Great Dark also arrived. The Great Dark can see a tear dropping out of Liatart's eye.
The Great Dark: I don't know what to say. You seem to be losing yourself.
Liatart: Tell me, what do you see in front of you? Can you feel anything?
The Great Dark: Humm, I kinda calm, noisy yet relaxing
Liatart: Then why can't I feel any of that, this feeling of incompetence? Why can't I feel like I can do anything?
The Great Dark: You're letting it get to you. Just let it go.
Liatart: Will it fix my problem? Will it be able to free me? Will this weight of incompetence go away? Will such a gray world be able to fill my eye with color again?
The Great Dark: You should know, you don't need to dedicate your life or try to chase it, you can lift those weights off of you, and the way to do it is to let go
Liatart: Then what will happen? Can I continue living with my life knowing that someone depending on me suffers because of my decision? I want to abandon my old self. This is supposed to be the new me, but somehow, no matter how far I have walked, I haven't really gone anywhere; I am still at the same place where I started.
The Great Dark observes Liatart closely, and he notices
The Great Dark: your hand is shaking uncontrollably, you are slowly being breaking from the inside out, you scare aren't you?
Liatart tries to control his fear by gripping his fist intently.
The Great Dark: You still walk into a fire despite your body being burned, you try to ignore that fear, but you are struggling, you are torturing yourself for a connection that keeps you sane
Liatart: I must. Regret is permanent, and it can be a greater torture. I just need to force myself to endure it; if I am able to succeed, all of this weight will finally go away, and I will finally be cured.
I have gone through regret before, and the pain is too much for me to bear; death is the only way for me to ease the pain.
The Great Dark: I suppose just letting it go, will not gonna save you then, you being imprisoned by your own sin and guilt
Me: It's not really there, but I'll improve it later, let's continue
