The day after getting the Staff of Homa,
"A new day to farm those primogems!" Alexy yawned.
Then he skimmed through the 4 commissions of the day.
"Welp, look like today's commissions are easy, no fighting." Alexy yawned again.
(Hmmm, it seems that I yawn a little too much lately.) thought Alexy while rubbing his eye.

Meanwhile, in a small apartment,
A black haired young man was typing continuously on his computer.
Suddenly, an old lady appeared behind him.
"Madame Ping, can you not bothering me while I'm writing my awesome web-novel?" the young man said, annoyed.
"If your novels were good, you wouldn't be living in this small apartment now." said Madame Ping bluntly.
"Ouch...say it, what brings you here?" said the black haired young man after he turned around and looked at the old adeptus.
"I came here because that youngster is not using his system right."
"That boy Monad chose? But what does that have anything to do with me?" the young man turned away, putting his hands on the keyboard again.
But Madame Ping did not let him type more, she took out a cane and hit his hands with it.
"Ouch...what do you do that for?"
"Be more responsible. Aren't you the legendary God of Gacha, whom many even praise as "Gacha Archon"?! You helped Monad create the Genshin System, you should have provided the Host with a thorough guide. Had I known much about how it works, I would have helped." said Madame Ping like she was educating her grandson.
"Alright, I will check on him." said the Gacha God.

"Y-A-W-N!"
"Alexy, I think you yawn too much lately." said Jack, worried. "Do you sleep enough nowadays?"
"Yes, of course, I sleep 8 hours a day, and never overwork myself."
"Remember to keep yourself healthy." said Jack.
"Don't worry, I will." Alexy assured his best friend.
Not so long after he said that, the system gave him a notification abruptly.

"WHAT!" Alexy blurted out.
"Huh, what happened?" asked Jack.
"No, nothing!" Alexy covered his mouth.
"You're weird. I don't know why I became your best friend."

Under the city's sewer,
BOOM BOOM BOOM
All training dummies fell down and exploded, revealing robotic parts inside them.
"Haha...this is great." a Geochanter Bracer laughed, banging his Geo staff on the floor.
BANG BANG BANG
"We're glad that you like this power, Mr. Karasu!" said the man wearing black hood.
"Was the good delivered to me the last time similar to this one?" asked Mr. Karasu.
"It was the same product, but had a different element. It had the power of electricity, this has the power of earth and rock." said the man.
"I want to buy 100 of this product and give it to my men." Mr. Karasu said, but he stopped to let the man in black say the price first.
"This product does not suit everyone. Many have died because they can't stand the power these things bring." the man in black smirked.
Mr. Karasu did not say anything, but gulped.
"Boss, I have something to report!" one man in black suit came and address Mr. Karasu.
"Everything has been prepared." said the man. "In more than two days, the plan can be carried out."
Mr. Karasu nodded, even though the Fatui mask covered his face and no one could see the emotion he showed. "Let take care of that brat of a president first!" said the Geochanter Bracer.
The butler, Sebastian, did not say anything throughout the process, he was just smiling. Sometimes, he turned his head and looked at the crocodile lying under the water, which was as big as any crocodile in horror movie.
===
The night had come, and Alexy wore his Fatui mask and left his home silently. He yawned before he left the front yard.
(Ugh, I looked like a suspicious person. Luckily, my neighborhood is still and peaceful at night, unlike those districts near the Griffin Palace.) thought Alexy.
He then went to the nearest manhole, after hesitating for a bit, he took it up and went down the sewer.
---
Like many big cities around the world, city N also has a large sewer system underneath the city.
(I absolutely don't like the smell here.) thought Alexy while turning on his flashlight.
<

"What unpleasant smell!" Klee held her nose.
"It seems like 'Master' wants us to suffer with him." Kaeya also held his nose.
"Ah, no, not at all."
"If that Tone-Deaf Bard were here, he would definitely complained about the smell." Paimon said inside Alexy's head.
"Tone-Deaf Bard, who?" Alexy asked while he began to walk towards the mark shown on the system's map.
"He is a super duper lazy bard and also a drunkard!" Paimon replied.
"Drunkards are suck and bad for society, that's what my dad told me." Alexy replied to Paimon's opinion on the drunkard bard.
---
After a while, Alexy realized the location to which they were going.
"Hmmm, this direction...it seems that the danger is beneath the main road leading to Griffin Palace."
"Griffin Palace?" Kaeya asked when he heard the name.
"Yea, it is the residence of the head of state of this country."
"A king?"
"No, he is a president. The position is like king but no supreme power and too fancy clothes. He is also elected by the people."
"Oh...what if the president is so good and he keeps getting elected by the people? Isn't that like a dictatorship?" asked Kaeya.
"Many countries have term limit. Most of the time, a president can only serve two terms as maximum, 4-5 years for each term. But my country does not use term limit."
"How long has the current president sat in his position?"
"Hmmmm...now that you mention it, for as long as I remember, President Dukakis has always been our president. I once asked my father about the president before President Dukakis, but he just replied that he only cared about his family and the military affairs, so he didn't know much about politics."
"Oh...this is interesting!" said Kaeya,
"What are you talking about? Klee does not understand!" Klee held Alexy's hand and complained.
"Ahaha...sorry, Klee."
"Klee, this is adult's talk. You will understand when you grow up." said Kaeya.
"Hummm...Klee wants to grow up fast!" said Klee.
"Yes, you will grow up fast, Kl..."
Alexy stopped mid-way when he noticed something was floating on the water.
"Brother Alexy, what is it?" Klee said and turned around to look.
"DON'T LOOK!" Alexy used his hand to cover Klee's eyes.
Floating on the water was an arm that had been cut from the body, full of blood.
(Just what is living down here?!!!) Alexy felt a shiver down his spine, and it was running across his body.
ROAR
Alexy and Kaeya turned to look at where the roar came from, and they could see the shadow of a very big animal down the pathway, with it jaws wide opened.
