Nine years.
Nine years have passed since he was taken in to the Organization. Now, Misha was still what most considered a newbie, however, he had history now, from stealing foreign government files in request from the government itself, his ability to improvise and impersonate others via telephone using his voice was well know, - he pranked several few of his 'family', Vanya said they were at this point - and his quiet and quick spying with often times clashing with assassination was well renowned, praised by others. He was a prodigy for it, even Tatiana admitted subtlety, a prodigy not meant for a teen like him.
During the early years, Misha learned quiet a few things about the Vanya and Katya.
Vanya is smart to the point he was the one who taught Misha maths, yet idiotic enough to the point on conversational and emotional scenarios he pauses and forgets, Vanya blames it on the trauma. His hair was dyed in coordination to the place he was taken in. He was a child born to servitude from slave trading Organization illegally being done at the sea. Being rescued by the Organization when he was only 11 in a mission about taking a stolen gem from them given by a traitor. He was taken in after they saw potential by an attack he survived and jumping off the boat and surviving that also.
Katya herself joined the Organization for the sake of revenge, she taught him to be calm on missions, and she taught him self discovery. It was basic to that point, but special on its own, as it was a revenge to her father who harmed her and her mother, well, late mother. She was enraged, to the point of killing the man herself in a mission regarding him not paying his debt to them. She took the opportunity, killed him, and forgot it by taking histone deacetylase inhibitor, a drug that makes you forget long-term trauma. The only reason Misha knew it was because of Avgust, a Shoebill agent, told him about it when the two got into a fight by misunderstanding accident.
He studied languages for the missions regarding be it foreign, he learned how to use multiple guns and knives for basic training, he was taught how to read complex sentences and college level math by 14, he was taught ballet for him to make less sound walking, he was taught how to cook by Vanya, - the decent cook between him and Katya, the latter who could turn cereal and milk somehow disgusting - and he was given to give purpose to his life, all be it be fused with guilt.
He was, however, given time to be a teen on his free time, allowed him to live like a teen, in his mind it meant possibly that they were doing it for him not to rebel, - which he didn't, knowing the consequences - and did he use those free time to relax slightly and enjoy his life a bit.
Katya did indoor yoga, - it wasn't required, but young impressionable him wanted to do the extreme stretching she does - and he did it too. He can now place his own legs behind his back and onto his neck, he also got good balance thanks to it. Vanya liked playing games, be it indoor, outdoor, or video games, even mind games ; he liked games, and so did young him.
Vanya was playing those 'Otome' games that were trendy in Japan and somewhat America, Vanya playing the Japanese version seeing it was far more advance than the English version. It was called a「The Devilish Advice : My Words Are Your Commands.」and it was one of those with a story line but with battles and gacha.
He asked if he could play it on his free time, Vanya and Katya saw no problem with it, and allowed him to download the game with fun strict supervision when playing it in avoidance to him getting distracted and lazy.
The game was what the Japanese called, 'reverse harem', the characters to love from were male instead of female.
The main character, aka the MC, was a woman, with the default name of Anya, which ironically meant nightless, somebody who is bright or something along those lines, is in her early 20s, her description was she had soft bubblegum pink hair, baby blue eyes, rosey pale skin and she was said to be wearing a yellow vested light green dress, brown laced knee high boots. She was said to offer the best smiles, and that of the best Blueberry Pie, the most normal food in the world she was set in.
Speaking of the world, it was a magical world. There were demons, angels, mythical creatures, of course humans, sometimes they were even cross mated, like how there are angels with siren aspects. Every living thing there had Magic, including the Anya, who had the power of light and more importantly, healing magic.
Those with magic, were to attended a schools designated for magic users. There was for Nursery, Elementary, Middle School, High School, and amazingly enough, which Misha did not expect, University or College.
The University that Anya attended was one of the most prestigious, with that she manage to enter under scholarships and recommendations for her ability, seen as handy for society to use for patients and such.
Now, onto the antagonists. There is actually only three instead of plenty or mixed. The first two was actually the main, Anastasiy, and his butler, who was, ironically called, Misha, who did not reveal his face ever in the game yet.
Anastasiy possessed inky red hair, two grief stained yellow eyes, mismatched skin colour, from patches of black to white. His age is Twenty One years old, and he stood at 5'9, if he were wearing heeled shoes, since his original is 5'7. He is completely human, like Anya. He however posses the complete opposite as her. The meanest, most evilest personality out there. He always wore a scowl, a glare. His magic was dark magic, specialising in necromancy. He always says 'Heh' after paragraphs.
Now Misha, the character named coincidentally after his nickname. There was not much information about the butler, other than he was speculated to be a thousand years old, that his magic has something to do with gravity and dark demon mana, that he is a demon-fae, that he serves the brat Anastasiy who was even rude to him, that the character was extremely patient, that he has glasses when Anastasiy pointed it out broken, and there was a story event that happened for only an hour, said to be an accidental release, that said to have showed what he looked like, and that those who did saw it died shortly, apparently, the image was cursed.
The other one was something he couldn't just unlock yet, it was said to come out in another 2 years.
Vanya laughed when he saw the name of the butler, and looked at him, giggling like an idiot.
"Honestly Misha, you don't look like the part." He mocked and Misha sent a glare to him.
"Oh quiet you, at least he wasn't nicknamed after a Ukrainian rat." Katya said in by the kitchen, a playful mockery tone she spoke, giggling to herself once seeing the expression of Vanya turn to a furrow and sent a glare to her.
Misha sighed with a smile and continued with game.
The main four, or the most powerful personnel in the school, were the main love interest.
Dmitri, a platinum blond with often called beautiful violet eyes, skin pale as paper. Believe to be one of the eldest by true age, ranking between Three Hundred to Four Hundred. years old, still younger than Misha, who was a demon-face, which age can last almost a Millennia. He stood around 5'10, a kind yet aloof personality he possessed gave him a very approachable aura. He was pureblood vampire, an oddly kind one. His magic is Wind magic, able to create tornados and hurricanes, apart from the usual vampiric ability. He often says 'Nya~', like a cat whenever he finishes his sentence.
Now for the second one, Konstantin, an almost translucent green haired male, and dark smooth skin. He was tall, the tallest in all of the love interest, standing on 6'3. However, he is mixed between a ghost and tree spirit, which explained his almost translucent hair. He can never really die unless his body was specifically burnt to ashes and spirit exorcised, so he lived quiet some time, around to be a hundred years. He is described as rude and easily annoyed, but when earned enough affection, he is the most gentleman out of all of them. His magic is earth magic, able to create meteors and vines from the ground, as well as turn invisible and blend in without using too much of his mana. He is said to have pranked every single body on the University, and they meant everybody, even the other students servants and guards.
Edmon is the estranged from his family, a runaway student. He actually age shorter than the rest, said to die by his Fifty human years, which he is in his Twentieth. He is the shortest, only standing at 5'4. Soft and wavy baby blue hair, forest green eyes, sometimes his skin seemed lime green under the light. He is a siren mixed with human. He is described as the shy, yet sharped tongue individual, often said to hide his resent from his family who were forceful on him in a sense. His magic is Water magic, able to create tsunamis and whirlpool, as well as swim underwater by using his siren lineage. He often apologies for unknown reason, often saying it became his habit.
And lastly, Ira, the supposed mysterious character of the game, is the most normal out of all of them. He has black hair with red high lights, steel grey eyes, a expression that never changes from a deadpan,his skin was slightly tan. He is 22 years old, looking 24 years old. He stood at 6'0 flat. He speaks in a polite manner, but gets slightly bashful when flattered and drunk. He's said to be mixed Werewolf and Vampire also. His magic is fire, able to summon a fire circle under a person and incinerate anybody underneath. He howls to the full moon and craves blood by that time.
・ー・ー・
Misha sighed once again, trying to remember any information he missed from the game.
"What's wrong kid?" Vanya asked, hearing Misha sigh, got slightly concerned.
Misha shook his head and gave a small smile towards him, "No, it's nothing, it's just my head hurts slightly. Do we have pain killers?" He asked.
"Yes, we do. There's still some in the restroom." Vanya confirmed as Misha went and walked to the restroom and grabbed the battle that was perched high on the top of the medicine cabinet.
"Thanks, don't you have a mission with a dove?" Misha asked.
A dove, a specific type they were. They were people who were the ones present at social gatherings to either steal or lower somebody's guard down until another steps in.
"Oh that? My dove chose a different partner, said she was afraid of me." He shrugged in nonchalance.
"You? Afraid? To be fair, she has rights to." Misha muttered under his breath, to which Vanya heard and noticed the side glance that Misha gave towards his face.
"What is that supposed to mean!?" Vanya exclaimed.
"Why are you yelling now?" Katya said as she entered the room, the laptop with a strap around her.
"I-... I actually don't know..." Vanya uttered off as Katya approached him and hit his head.
"You idiot. What did you say to him Misha?" Katya simply said before taking a seat where Misha once sat, who in the kitchen, drinking water, as she called out to him.
"I said, and quote, 'You? Afraid? To be fair, she has rights to.' In context to this, he's actually talking about how his partner Dove changed because she was afraid of him." Misha answered, grabbing a sweet cinnamon bun by the counter and eat it.
"You got upset over that?" Katya asked Vanya, who looked at her insidiously.
"He gave a me a look!" Vanya rebutted.
"Is that true?"
Misha smiled innocently and let's out an innocent hum to towards. "What do I know? I'm just a teen." He finished before biting on the pastry again.
"Honestly you two..." Katya sighed before a ping erupted from her laptop.
Katya looked at it, seeing it was an email, and read.
Not a minute late, Katya said out loud. "Hey, we have a new mission."
Vanya walked over to her, and looked at the laptop, reading the email as well.
"What does it say?" Misha asked, taking a last bite of the pastry and washing his hands, walking towards them.
"Infiltration. Huh, we haven't had that for a while." Vanya mused.
"That's it? How many days will it take Ms. Katya?" Misha asked, still unable to rid his usage of Miss and Mister.
"It's says we have to do it only for a day.? That long only?" Vanya said in suspicions, expressing his concern.
"It's odd, that's for sure, but a mission, is a mission." Katya said with a roll of her eyes. She shut her laptop and went to her room, presumably getting dress.
The shut of the door made both of them look towards it before Vanya shrugged.
"Well, I have to get ready too. You go get ready too Misha, I saw we will leave in 4 hours from now." Vanya said as Misha nodded, and Vanya left to get ready himself.
Misha grabbed his phone, reading the last text of the game before a pop up from the game itself appeared.
「The Devilish Advice : MY Words Are Your Command」has a very limited time event! Join now to see this special character and might possibly be even, gain his affection!
Misha looked at said event, and there was a event banner with the character greyed out, with the time limit 2 hours. Misha looked at the time, and decided to shower and dress first before playing, then a short grinding for mana points again, he leaves for the mission.
・ー・ー・
Misha finished dressing and walked over to the bed and laid down on it, grabbing his phone in the process.
He opened it and then the app, and started playing.
He kept Anya as the home screen character, and tapped on the event banner, which led him to the event stage.
『Meet the long awaited reveal of the butler of Anastasiy, Misha! On this once in a blue moon event』it said on the event information. It also added 『This rare event will only occur for 4 hours, so make sure to get this event character for a snippet of the soon released butler upcoming tommorow!』
Misha started playing, unbeknownst to him that his account was the only one to receive it.
