Palu, Indonesia.
3 days had passed since Aril woke up for the first time in the hotel room and now he could walk although he still had some difficulty.
On that sunny afternoon, Aril walked to the pool area and found Ignoir and Putri having fun in the pool.
Aril sat on a plastic chair at the edge of the pool while watching the surroundings.
"You can walk already, that's good," said Reizel who was only wearing shorts.
"Did you change the pool water?" Aril asked Reizel.
Reizel stood beside Aril and also watched the two girls who seemed to be enjoying their time in the pool.
"Of course. It took us all day to drain, clean, and then refill the pool," Reizel replied.
"Then it would be a pity if we had to leave now, maybe in two or three days," said Aril who was leaning back on his plastic chair with a sigh.
"Are you going to stay where you are now or is there somewhere else you want to go?"
"We're going to Poso city."

Somewhere in Iraq.
The sun was shining brightly and its bright light illuminated the entire desert below.
A vast desert as far as the eye can see, although in fact it is not a desert, but an area that turned into a desert because of the fight of 2 people.
2 people who were now 400 meters above sea level.
Belial was floating in the air with the help of his flapping wings while Gilgamesh stood in the air as if there was an invisible foothold that kept him in the air.
Several days had passed but neither of them looked tired at all, as if they had unlimited stamina.
Rather than being tired, both seemed to be enjoying their fight.

Balikpapan, Indonesia.
Inside a room made entirely of iron, a man sat on his couch while reading several sheets of paper that were reports on the situation he was in.
The room looked like a government office. The only difference was that everything was made of iron.
Walls made of iron, bookcases made of iron, desks made of iron. The only things that weren't made of iron were the chairs and couch.
There were papers and files, and the man in the room was none other than Bambang.
He wore a neat shirt and looked very serious reading the report in his hand.
*Knok... Knok...
The sound of a knock on the door did not make Bambang shift his focus.
"Come in," Bambang said.
The door opened, and a woman in a neat black suit and black skirt befitting a secretary entered.
Shoulder-length black hair with light brown skin. Her serious gaze was clear as she walked up to Bambang carrying a thick file.
"What is it, Maya?" asked Bambang, staring at his secretary.
"The President called you to meet him. He wants to discuss about taxes and territories," Maya answered swiftly.
Bambang placed the report on the table and massaged the bridge of his nose.
"When will these old people understand? We're going to create a new government, not obey the old one," said a visibly annoyed Bambang.
"So, what should we do, Sir?"
Bambang sighed. "We accelerate the plan. We'll take over the whole of Kalimantan, and IKN will be the starting line."

Manado, Indonesia.
In the midst of the scorching sun, many people are pushing carts filled with materials such as cement, sand, stone and iron.
Everyone is pushing the carts to the work site, which is a field.
Some people carried the materials, and some were in charge of constructing the building.
Several dog-headed demons stood around the area. 4-meter-tall demons wielded a long whip and was more than ready to whip anyone who didn't want to work.
"I think this is going to take a long time," said Marchosias who was watching the group of humans she had made into slaves.
A wolf-headed demon approached Marchosias. "Miss Marchosias, we have found the materials and someone with the skills to build your project more efficiently."
Marchosias immediately smiled and was delighted. "Really? So, it can be completed next week?"
"In that case.... It might still take a long time," said the wolf-headed demon who was visibly trembling.
"Tsk, we'll run out of slaves before that happens," said a visibly annoyed Marchosias.
"W... Wha... What does that mean?"
"Give them time to rest and feed them. I don't want the slaves to die before the construction is complete."

Rio, Brazil.
A festival night with disco lights flickering. The sound of loud songs filled the air. And dozens of people dancing.
Women, men, everyone was dancing in their exotic outfits.
The mood was festive and the atmosphere uplifting....
But no one was smiling. Everyone who was dancing was crying. They couldn't stop dancing because the moment they stopped, they would become food for the demon birds that watching them.
Giant demon birds with colorful feathers. Looks so adorable....
Except for the fact that there was a lot of fresh blood slowly dripping from their beaks.
In the middle of it all, Phenex sat on a throne that was a handsome, muscular man who bent over to be used as a chair by the purple-haired demoness.
"This is a great party! Hahahaha!" shouted Phenex who was drinking wine straight from the bottle.
-----------------------------------------
Poso, Indonesia.
A pile of giant monster corpses was piled up on a field. The monster looked like a horned black wolf with a pair of large wings.
One wolf monster can be up to 100 meters tall and there are 5 monsters that have now become corpses and stacked on top of each other.
On top of the corpses, a man sat drinking a bottle of mineral water.
When the bottle was empty, he threw the bottle and jumped down.
He walked while massaging his right shoulder. "Being a king means being responsible for territory... Including killing these savage monsters."
The man let out a long sigh. "But a king needs a queen, I hope Salma is still alive."
He paused for a moment then looked up at the bright blue sky. "I hope her husband is dead already."
