Reigan imagined a big larva with two tusks on its frontal teeth. The squishy violet and red color of the body, and a weird 2 tails.
The larva was definitely small, although only the shape and the color could be seen behind it, and the size, just that it was sitting on a throne…
Or maybe, it was not a throne, rather it was part of its body.
A larva with a long rectangle back…
Just imagining such stuff definitely looked wacky. So let's just scratch that detail…
They stood up, Reigan was still trying to figure out what's going to happen to him.
Don't tell that it would be him being on an altar, as a sacrifice for the larva.
In his mind played himself in an altar, and bounded. After that, a big green larva as fat as the one behind the curtains moved on his body. The Larva two fangs opened up but before he bit him it tuned to a sexy vampire—
The coughing at his side woke him from his daydreaming. When he roamed his eyes all around, a stinging stare was pointed at him.
'Hey, you don't need to stare at me that much. You guys make me blush,' He thought while scratching his nose awkwardly.
If these people knew what Reigan was imagining and thinking just a moment ago, he would definitely be dead by now, or worse, he would be put in a curse.
"The queen was asking about something." A sound of anger coming from the side of the queen was heard.
The voice sounded very familiar, it was the same as the double face girl, Camilla.
"Camilla, please don't scare our visitor like that." A melodious yet stern sweet voice behind the curtain was heard. It seemed like the queen.
No, he was certain she was. Especially how she spoke those words, it felt as if it had power with it.
"Young beast, I heard everything happened with Dina. It seemed like that Trent was with you, named Truval."
Truval…
The name was definitely very familiar, because of the suffering from his soul a moment ago, some of the memories were taken away from him again. And this time, the memory that was taken away from him was about the name Truval.
Still, some information has been retained in his mind. That was about the name of 8 cities Truval introduced to him, except some of what was them all about.
Reigan tried to remember who Truval was, only for his head to hurt. Then the searing pain in his soul starts to crack, and a warning about his body showed in the system. Reminding him about the situation about his soul and spirit.
He didn't understand. If Lilia really did stop the deterioration, how come the pain was still there?
"Seemed like what the Priestess said was true. Your soul has been broken." Spoken the queen.
Reigan faced up at where the queen was.
"We can't help you for your soul to be fixed but… We can give you some knowledge. What do you think?" the queen asked.
Reigan hearing such felt touched at first and smiled at the queen. The queen was so nice, but that was plain naivety, and he was not naïve enough to believe that there was no exchange for it.
When the pain subdued, he panted then glanced at the queen, "I see… So, what was the exchange…"
The queen's eyes turned upside-down crescent moon watching the beast girl in front of her.

Meanwhile, in the Natural realm…
A man was running for his life. Finding a safe place, he could stay.
He found an alleyway and decided to use the surroundings to his advantage.
Those people with masks will surely go on one opening, and by that, he would definitely use his ability. Although it was a small percentage of him winning, he still wanted to bet on it. He only has one life after all.
The world already turned into chaos after that weird voice spoken in the sky and the weird emoji moving at the same time.
There were a lot of groups killing ability users every now and then to the point of it being hard to pinpoint which is which.
Although the government said they were doing something, what kind of something. He was sure that they also are making the same move.
Some were saying it was the non-ability users who murdered people, while others think they were weak. Still, a lot of ability users kill the non-abilities. And their main target was South Empire and the Central City because they were the ones who had more non-ability users.
The other non-abilities in other empires were killed on the spot, not giving them a chance to retaliate or anything.
And him, he had power, but being cornered. He even wondered that these masked people chasing him was actually a non-ability, but that was impossible. He saw how they killed his friend a moment ago, and the man used his wind ability to slice him up.
And now he, who was the eyewitness, was being chased by the one who killed his friend.
He was too powerless, unable to even save his friend. He didn't understand why these things were happening. All he knew was that he hated it. Hated all these things!
He viewed forward, making the burning sensation go toward his hand, which brought forth fire. Although he was not part of the military, he was still strong enough to fend off himself. He waited only to see a shadow above him becoming larger.
Before he even shot the enemy, his sight saw his body as the darkness prevailed in his sight.
The masked person turned her back, at the same time, congratulating her on turning to level 40 shown in front of it.
"System profile." She spoke in a soft voice.

➖
Michaela decided to put 1 point in her agility, after all, she needed to be fast enough to kill.
She then put her arms inside her pocket, then walked toward the dead, trying to absorb its power, unfortunately, it was impossible.
"I told you already if you want to get others special abilities, they need to agree to it." Celine rolled her eyes watching Michaela still trying.
She looked at the translucent small human shape floating beside her. Rage started to flow from her heart, so she closed her eyes trying to calm herself.
It was pointless to talk to a heartless being like this one. Then she searched for anything from the body but only saw a family picture inside his wallet.
She took the family photo and hid it in her pocket.
"Nice one Mica, that one was a clean cut." Spoke by the man leaning against the wall.
Michaela just glanced at the man "Call me with the code name," she said then walked away.
"Wait!" Then the man out of thin air grabbed a white potion and tossed it at Mica, which she intercepted. This guy was Leo, her partner. He was one of those with the storage system.
After becoming a player, people started to receive a weird blue screen. The Blue was for the status, green for rewards, and red for warning.
The System varied from what ability you had. For example, Leo. He had Space ability, originally his space ability was to bring forth the arms from a certain organization before theirs, when he got the system, he still had his ability the only change was that it turned into a storage system, but after receiving such, he couldn't use his original space power.
It was as if it integrated with the system itself. She really had no idea what the storage looked like, but Leo told him it was the same as the one in a video game, having small boxes where you can put in some of the same materials to each box. He also said that he only got 15 boxes.
She was not interested at all. The only reason he agreed to partner with this guy was because of his storage, nothing else. "I don't need it" then she threw it back.
"Kid-"
"Shut up! You should keep those things at bay, we only got a few. That one was NP. We receive nothing from it."
Leo raised his hand, as the older one he should just listen to the child for now.
They stop in one of the hidden places and take off their mask and cape, and Leo hides it for them.
"So… Do you wanna grab some food?" Leo asked her.
"I want to be alone," Michaela spoke.
"But-"
Michaela glared at Leo, making him shut his mouth and leave. She decided to enter the marketplace to buy herself some food and drinks.
She entered the room on one of the advanced buildings here in Central City.
Her body, mind, and heartfelt erratic. She felt so empty and weak.
She curled herself into a ball. Shivering,
She killed someone again. She killed some innocent people.
Her nails dug on her arms feeling the pain. "Mica, you did what is right. You did what is right." She convinced herself.
If she won't kill them, wouldn't someone else do it? She is just freeing them from these. Freeing them from such a chaotic situation. Just like how she did to her family.
Thinking of it, her heart started to feel cold, that coldness that traveled to her entire body. "Mama... Papa... Big bro..." she sobbed, but no matter how many times she cried, she could never take back everything. If only she knew her brother was a King Candidate, then these things would never happen. She wouldn't need to kill them.
She could be a player under her brother and so do their parents. If only...
"Pathetic," Celine whispered in disgust.
Celine didn't understand why to cry over some human. They can recreate another one anyway.
Although Celine was satisfied with the girl's strength, she also made her infuriated. Not only did she cry every time she killed someone in this room, but she also didn't listen to her.
Celine closed their link not wanting to hear any more of whatever Michaela was thinking.
Humans are so annoying, If not for that prize, Celine definitely not gonna join this stupid game.
