Half an hour later, the trio arrives in the middle of Kujo City with a terrified looking Avarice.
"Please, tell me that was the last time..."
Ver visibly smirks while Ryvern could only sigh.
"I thought you gotten used to it?"
Avarice holds out one finger before pointing it to Ryvern.
"Used to 'yours'! Not-" Avarice pauses as Ver takes off her helmet. "Her..."
A tint of red appears on Avarice's cheek. Ver notices it and feels disgusted.
"Sorry." She waves him away. "I like girls."
Ryvern sighs once more while the trio gains a lot of attention from the bystanders on the street. Murmurs go around and saying things like 'Is she a new Hunter?' 'I never heard of a Hunter than can run fast.' Ryvern has a visible confusion straps to his face.
"What's a Hunter?"
Ver face palms while the sin of Avarice recovered from his blush.
Avarice speaks; "It's people who have 'Abilities'."
"What kind?"
Avarice stares at Ryvern in disbelief before walking away, assuming towards where the supposedly location of Envy.
"What? I've haven't been to Earth for a while," said Ryvern as he starts to follow Greed.
"To think that you are the original 'Ryvern'." Ver shakes her head as she follows suit. "Watch the news at least!"
"Is the current affairs gonna help us from fighting against the invasion?"
He received no response.
"I think not!"
...
On the way to Envy, Avarice explains to Ryvern what 'Abilities', 'Hunter', and including the 'Dungeon' and the invasion of different dimensions of 'Monsters'.
10 years ago, the first appearance of 'dungeon' was spotted in North America. The government dispatched a Research Division of their own; called Rainbow Research Division or RRD in short. They realised that they can enter the portal, and they did. But those who went in, never came back. They decided to study the portal from the outside but the longer they study it, the longer they abandoned the rule of the dungeon itself. Since after 30 days a dungeon appears, the 'dungeon break' will happened.
And happened it did.
There were multiple casualties which even made the government utilised the National Guard themselves, but they only can barely hold on, until a group of superhumans, which now called as 'Hunter', appeared and saved the day. Like literally.
With 'Abilities' that were given from unknown entities, it were simultaneously granted to multiple people in the whole world, and still are to this day, these Hunters has now begin to eradicate any dungeon that appears in the entire world.
No one exactly knew where such Abilities comes from, but one thing they knew, is that it comes along with the 'dungeon break'.
"How come I never knew of these?" asked Ryvern with a concerned voice.
Avarice immediately turns his back to him and says; "Well maybe if you stop going into multiple universes, or looking from the moon when you're not doing that, or maybe if you stop being a bitch in general, then probably you know what's actually happened on Earth!"
Ryvern could not says a word as he leans back with a hand on his chest, surprised of Avarice's comment and his own ignorance.
"Also if that 'Creator' of yours finally decides what exactly kind of setting this world is supposed to be, then maybe you should ask him!"
I'm working on it...
Ver shrugs her shoulder. "He's not wrong."
"Even Zhang Wei knows it, and he's 16."
"Who?" asked both Ryverns.
"The body of the kid I'm in." He shrugs afterwards as Ver gestures to her phone and mouthed 'FBI'.
Avarice rolls his eyes before turning his back and faces the entrance of Kujo CIty Central Hospital.
"We're here," said Greed.
...
The trio walk through the hallways of the hospital before reaching a reception desk of the male wards. Avarice asked for a man name 'Fujiwara Kaze'. To Ryvern's surprise, the name sounds familiar to a 'beggar' he met weeks ago. He dismissed the thought since to his knowledge, there could be a lot of Fujiwaras in Shinjikura.
The nurse by the reception desk points to a distance and mention, 'Ward 504'. Avarice immediately rushes over the room as Ryvern thanked the nurse, while Ver winks at the lady, which gains a blush from the nurse.
Avarice enters the room to see a skinny man with long black hair and dark brown eyes, staring outside from the comfort of the hospital bed.
"Brother..." said Avarice as Kaze turns his back, to see Greed, still in the body of a Chinese high school boy.
As Avarice is about to launch himself to hug Kaze, he asked; "Who are you?"
Avarice, who has tears on his eyes, slumps over the ground on all four.
"What sin have I done, dear God..."
Ryvern shakes his head as he nudges the sin of greed with his foot.
"You 'are' a sin."
Ver chuckles as Ryvern turns his attention to the patient.
"So you're Envy?"
The man eyes widens as he backs away from Ryvern, causing to fall down from the bed. Greed rushes over to Kaze to help him up.
"How do you know that?!"
Ver makes herself known as she put a finger on her mouth, "We're in a hospital, simmer down."
The three males nods as Kaze asks the same question, but quietened.
"How do you know that?"
Avarice's eyes glows in yellow as a silver ring appears on his left middle finger. He showed the ring to Kaze, much to his disbelief.
"I told him."
