Chapter 3:
Chapter 3 Devil in your heart
My new life in a death game from another world.
Hainley: So we’re only on day 3 now of judgement week.
Emilia: Yeah and I don’t think dilly dallying is going to get us anywhere.
Hainley: We should head to the next town Kresten should be around here a few hours from here.
Emilia: Well looks like we arrived in time for some festival of the sort.
Hainley: It looks like there is a performance coming soon for a ballerina.
Emilia: Oh my she really does look very pretty yet so fragile like a doll.
Hainley: Kyoka that sounds like a cute name doesn’t it?
Emilia: It certainly does and I can tell by the poster even just a glimpse of her and you can feel the elegant aura coming out.
Hainley: Indeed.
Emilia: That long flowing pink hair really does go well with her tutu.
Hainley: Yeah she sure certainly has this “Grace” to her so to speak.
Emilia: Anyways we should keep an eye out for the gatekeeper that’s around here.
Gaoler:BEWARE THE WOLVES THAT STALK THEIR PREY AT NIGHT!!! HIDE YOUR CHILDREN HIDE YOUR SPOUSES AND BEWARE THE WOLVES!!!!
Emilia: Whats he going on about?
Hainley: We should listen to this it may have something to do with the gatekeeper.
Hainley: Werewolves you say?
Galoer:Every night when the moon rises they always appear to terroize the village.
Emilia: How long have they been going on for?
Galoer: Ever since the festival has started the men who turn to wolves has been preying on the villagers and creating nothing but havoc and ruckus amongst the wake. And even with official warnings the festival still does continue on for whatever reason. Kresten was always a peaceful town but with these werewolf attacks no one is safe at all from them.
Emilia:Think the werewolves must be somehow connected to the performance?
Hainley: Most likely just a coincidence.
Emilia: Still lets keep an eye out for anything suspicious.
Gaoler:There’s even a contest raffle where the lucky winners could have 2 tickets to meet Kyokoa herself but that can be dangerous as well given the ongoing werewolf attacks.
Hainley: Backstage tickets this should be interesting.
Emilia: Where does one even enter the contest.
Hainley: Its randomly chosen but anyone from travelers to locales can participate in it.
Emilia: I see then well thanks for sharing the info with us.
Gaoler: Now you’re actually just in time for the contest winners so you may want to stick around to hearing this.
Emilia: If you insist.
Gaoler: Ladies and Gentlemen the moment you have all been waiting for, the winner of the backstage tickets to meet Kyoka goes too!!!! Hainley and Emilia!!!!
Hainley: We won?
Emilia: How did they even knew our names as well too?
Hainley: Also in the middle of a werewolf threat as well? Sounds too good to be true.
Emilia: We should follow along with this and see if this will get us anywhere actually.
Hainley: Sure I think that can work.
Gaoler: The concert shall start later on during the evening but beware of the wolves who prey at night.
Hainley: Well we best be on our way then.
Emilia: The concert should start any moment now.
(The curtains open and the spotlight appears on Kyoka, she twirls around and spins and jumps and lands with grace and the recital ends and the crowd goes wild for her.)
Hainley: Now that was a amazing performance.
Emilia: Indeed and I think its time we finally go meet leading lady.
Kyoka:HELLO!!!!!
Emilia: Pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Hainley: Well this is it it looks like we’re going to meet the leading lady.
Kyokoa: Did you enjoy the show tee-hee!!!?
Hainley: Why yes its very lovely. (He gets a flashback of seeing a vocaloid idol perform in concert on a computer)
Kyoka:I”M VERY GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT!!!!
Hainley: And it’s a very great pleasure to meet you in person.
Kyoka: Come follow me I got something to show you tee-hee!!!
Emilia: Well best follow her lead then.
(They follow Kyokoa to whats supposed to be her quarters but suddenly they enter a dark room and they can faintly hear some growling.)
Mysterious woman: To think innocence can be such a way to lure you from your shell.
Hainley who are you!!?
Emila: A trap!?
Mysterious woman: I am Bella and your soul is just one of millions I lured with my charms and my grace.
Hainley: You’re Kyoka.
Bella: That’s just a stagename for my character.
Hainley: So all of these attacks are connected to you!!?
Mysterious woman: The men here when they fall under my charm their “bestial” state comes out. Hence the wolf like appearance they all have.
Hainley: So you turn your fans into werewolves so they can carry out your bidding. That’s a real low brow move.
Bella: They mearly do my bidding which is keeping this wretched place under control and only by defeating me, you could really lift the curse. At the cost of their lives that is as well too.
Hainley: There isn’t any other way!!!?
Bella: No, as they signed their lives up for this as did all other players when they enter this realm and so far none were able to defeat me.
Emilia: Sweet people like you are why people are so distrustful of others because of the way you manipulate others. The pain they must feel I feel pity for the men you lured to being your slaves such a toxic monster you really are not the werewolves.
Bella: Join us as if you insist I am a monster why not really become one to see what its like being my slave.
Hainley: Never.
(Hainley then dodges a werewolf trying to attack him and quickly makes a counterattack taking down one werewolf. Emila casts some lightning spells taking down 5 werewolves and Bella tries to cast some darkness spells but Emilia dodges and she counter attacks right back with a lightning spell)
(Bella then summons dark spikes to attack Hainley but Hainley deflects them all with his sword and he manages to successful hit all at Bella and Bella’s weak core with her heart is exposed and Hainley delivers the final blow)
Bella: No not like this. (She then dissipates to dust after being defeated)
Emilia: Lets get going shall we?
(The werewolves then dissipate to dust as well too)
Emila: May all these lost souls find peace in the next life.
Hainley: So many lost souls loving a person who can’t really love them back. It’s a real tragedy and it looks like many players as well fell to this gatekeeper’s antics and now they paid the price for their actions.
Emila: Their hearts must have been very lonely so that’s why they chose that kind of path. Real shame their loneliness lead to this way.
(Hainley gets another flashback of him being alone in a bedroom with nothing but garbage surrounding him.)
Hainley: Yeah like you said you can only feel pity for these people.
????:So it looks like one of our gatekeepers has recently fallen.
????: One can only rely on such tricks for so long so no surprise her defeat was that swift.
????:That only leaves a few gatekeepers down and well its only a matter of time before they reach the boss soon.
????:But until then, we shall see what the cards of fate have dealt them.
Hainley then gets another flashback of someone talking on a computer online in a forum discussing about a recent idol release single coming out and everywhere has it sold out and the only place you can get it is a video store that recently restocked it only for a limited amount of time.
Hainley: Was that nah i shouldn't worry about it. He says after the flashback is done and he and Emilia move on to the next location.
Chapter end.
