The Condition of Hugel, 24 Hours after the Erasure

Fate had been kind to the twins named Nelsvee and Nellyne. After losing consciousness from the shockwaves that shook Hugel due to the creation of Sylvia and Catastrophe, they found themselves miraculously alive. There was no trace of any injury on their bodies, and their condition was totally normal.

Unbeknownst to the twins, a certain butler was responsible for reviving them. In reality, they should have been dead as well, but they have been given another chance by Loki himself, as his personal message to a certain Lieutenant that he promised –but failed- to save.

Finding the twins lying dead on the roadside earlier, Loki simply passed over and gave them enough vital energies to reawaken. It was a good thing that both of them managed to somehow survive the void that engulfed Hugel entirely, leaving only broken structures and unrecognizable sceneries.

Loki then took the twins to the infirmary and made sure that they had supplies to have for their own when they woke up. Without further ado, he left and headed south, far away from the broken village.

?, ?'s Territory, 24 Hours after the Erasure

A cry of despair filled the empty spaces where a certain bespectacled Lieutenant was currently enclosed.

"Loki… you promised me that you will save everyone. Everyone! How come you never came for me when I needed you? Why? I… I tried my hardest to save everyone… but I wasn't even able to save myself! How could you leave me like that?"

"Are you afraid?" asked the voice to the Lieutenant. Flireis tried to search for its source. She needed help. She needed company. She needed someone to talk to in her current location… which was nowhere.

"I beg you… please help me. I have been betrayed by the people I trusted the most. I have been subjected to pain and suffering that I clearly did no deserve!"

"Everyone says that in the beginning, Lieutenant. It doesn't matter to me, though. What matters right now is that I get to enjoy my travels within this immense dimension."

"Who are you?"

"I'm Grey Emyll Foxx. Nice to meet you."

And in an instant, Flireis was able to escape from the darkness that she was stuck in, and was embraced by a man who consoled her immediately. Flireis decided to release her grief. Grey smiled menacingly as he watched the lady cry.

Amatsu Shoreline, 48 Hours after the Erasure

"I failed… I'm useless… I wasn't able to change anything at all… I'd rather just die. Please, great gods… just… let me… die."

Jervy closed his eyes and took another gasp as he lost his consciousness while resting on the shoreline of a land he never knew. His only memory before he fainted was that people were rushing towards him, speaking a language he had never heard before.

The only things he understood at that moment was that he was alive, alone, and useless.

"Damn it. Why am I alive?"

A Certain Bar in Prontera, 4 Months after the Erasure

Loki was dumbfounded the moment he found out that there was a human in existence that can manage to take him on and best him even on a duel. The said person was unlike any other person he had met over the past millennia, or ever since the creation of the worlds.

At first sight, the said person looked sweet and unnerving. She was supposed to be a typical Master Smith, surrounded by her friends – A muscular High Wizard, a dashing Arch Bishop – and her lover, a newly promoted commander who went by the name of Hyatt.

She was the embodiment of pure, unadulterated power.

She alone was able to take Loki down with a single strike. Unarmed.

"Cornelia… that… really… hurts…." Loki winced in pain after receiving a blow from the said Master Smith.

"Sorry about that Loki. Malchuz was my supposed target, but you came right in the middle!" Cornelia simply answered.

"Are you really that blind when you attack that muscular dork?" Loki asked.

"Hey, stop calling me that… don't you know that I'm the…" Malchuz protested, but was cut short as he felt a numbing sensation at his side.

"I admire your strength, Loki. Typically, one would immediately get knocked out when I hit them. I remember back then when my darling Hyatt tried to block my blow that was intended for Malchuz. He was asleep for 2 months." Cornelia said.

The door of the bar swung open violently, and from out of the blue, a small bag containing coins and other valuable jewels flew across the room and straight to the table where Cornelia was.

"I'm Red Viele'au Sylenfeit. I'm just paying my debt. Take it or leave it."
