The map slowly faded from their focus.
But the information stayed.
Stefan looked at Nami… then at Andrew.
They all understood the same thing.
They couldn't stay alone anymore.
Nami spoke first.
Nami: "We need a clan."
Andrew didn't argue.
Andrew: "Yeah… surviving alone won't work anymore."
Stefan nodded.
Stefan: "Then we make one."
A small pause followed.
Then the system responded instantly.
System: "Clan creation available."
Stefan focused.
A name appeared in his mind.
Dark.
Simple.
Fitting.
Stefan: "Devil Hunters."
Nami smiled slightly.
Nami: "Sounds right."
Andrew gave a small nod.
Andrew: "Better than dying alone."
The system accepted it.
System: "Clan 'Devil Hunters' created."
A new prompt appeared.
System: "Select clan leader."
Silence followed.
Nami looked at Stefan.
No hesitation.
Nami: "You."
Andrew crossed his arms.
Then nodded.
Andrew: "Yeah… you're the strongest here."
Stefan didn't respond immediately.
He thought for a second.
Then accepted.
Stefan: "Fine."
The system confirmed.
System: "Stefan is now the leader of Devil Hunters."
A new option appeared.
System: "Enable shared information?"
Stefan's eyes narrowed.
He understood what that meant.
Levels.
Abilities.
Secrets.
Everything.
If he enabled it—
Andrew would know.
About his power.
About human taming.
About everything.
Nami looked at him.
Nami: "What is it?"
Stefan spoke calmly.
Stefan: "If I turn this on… everyone sees everything."
Andrew's eyes sharpened.
Andrew: "Including abilities?"
Stefan: "Yes."
Silence.
Heavy.
Andrew stepped slightly forward.
Andrew: "Then don't."
Nami looked at him.
Nami: "Why?"
Andrew answered honestly.
Andrew: "Because trust doesn't come that easy."
He looked at Stefan directly.
Andrew: "You don't know me… I don't know you."
A pause.
Andrew: "Showing everything is risky."
Stefan didn't disagree.
But he didn't back off either.
Stefan: "And hiding everything is worse."
Silence.
Andrew's expression hardened slightly.
Andrew: "Or safer."
Stefan shook his head.
Stefan: "No."
He stepped closer.
Stefan: "A clan without trust… is already dead."
Nami watched both of them.
Carefully.
Andrew let out a small breath.
Andrew: "Trust isn't built in one moment."
Stefan replied instantly.
Stefan: "It starts with one."
Silence.
They stared at each other.
Not as enemies.
But not as allies either.
Just… uncertain.
Nami finally spoke.
Nami: "If we don't trust each other…"
She paused.
Nami: "…we won't survive the mainland."
Andrew didn't respond.
But he didn't disagree either.
Stefan looked at the system option again.
Then—
Without hesitation—
He activated it.
System: "Shared information enabled."
A pulse passed through all three of them.
Information flooded in.
Levels.
Stats.
Abilities.
Everything.
Andrew froze.
His eyes widened slightly.
He looked at Stefan.
Really looked this time.
Andrew: "…Human… taming?"
Silence.
Nami watched quietly.
She already knew.
But Andrew didn't.
Not fully.
Andrew's voice dropped.
Andrew: "You don't control beasts…"
A pause.
Then—
Andrew: "…you control humans."
Stefan didn't deny it.
Stefan: "Yes."
Silence.
Heavy.
Andrew took a step back.
Thinking.
Processing.
Andrew: "That's not normal."
Stefan: "I know."
Andrew looked at Nami.
Then back at Stefan.
Andrew: "So you could… control me?"
The question was direct.
Sharp.
Dangerous.
Stefan answered calmly.
Stefan: "Only if you accept it."
Andrew stayed silent.
Then asked—
Andrew: "And if I don't?"
Stefan: "Then nothing happens."
Silence again.
Andrew's grip on his sword loosened slowly.
Not fully.
But enough.
Andrew: "…You still turned it on."
Stefan nodded.
Stefan: "Because hiding it would make it worse."
Nami added quietly—
Nami: "Now you know everything."
Andrew looked at both of them.
Long.
Careful.
Then—
He let out a breath.
Andrew: "…You're either very honest…"
A pause.
Then—
Andrew: "…or very dangerous."
Stefan replied calmly.
Stefan: "Both."
For a moment—
Andrew stared at him.
Then suddenly—
He laughed lightly.
Not loud.
Not relaxed.
But real.
Andrew: "…Good."
He adjusted his sword.
Andrew: "Then I chose the right people."
The tension finally dropped slightly.
Not gone.
But lighter.
---
Then suddenly—
The system interrupted again.
Sharp.
Urgent.
System: "Warning."
All three froze.
System: "Enter mainland within 3 days."
A pause.
Then—
System: "Failure will result in death."
Silence.
The atmosphere changed instantly.
Nami clenched her grip.
Nami: "…So no more waiting."
Andrew looked toward the mainland.
Serious again.
Andrew: "We're out of time."
Stefan looked ahead.
Calm.
Focused.
Stefan: "Then we move."
A pause.
Then—
Stefan: "Tomorrow."
Nami nodded.
Andrew agreed.
The clan had formed.
The truth was revealed.
And now—
The real world was waiting.
