Summary: The sudden expansion of their lands sent panic throughout their lands, and when monsters never before seen began to appear they began to become desperate. Histoire suggested an option; they never saw the storm it would bring.


"Layla, Frankenstein and Sakura, go in." The fairy and dullahan glanced at each other before nodding, "The target are a [LvL: 700 Greater Mammoth], [LvL: 700 Standard Abominable Snowman] and [LvL: 800 Greater Yuki-Onna]... fair odds, go have fun girls."

They made short work of them. Sakura held them down with her walls and vines followed by Layla cutting their tendons so they couldn't move out and then Frankenstein frying them with lightning, Tia himself made sure to get at least one javelin to make sure they all got the full EXP spread.

Then Layla cut them with her scythe, rendering them immobile, Sakura manipulated the ceiling above them and crushed them into paste… Frankenstein's thunderbolts were overkill.

Uni looked extremely uncomfortable at how easy they killed them.

He was extremely uncomfortable with how happy they look. It was a stray thought but for one fleeting second he compared them to cats looking for praise as they hand you a corpse of a bird.

"Holy fuck that's terrifying!"

"W-What the hell?!" Uni was right to be shocked. He was too, so shocked in fact, that he might just pass out right here and now. However, this was nothing compared to finding out your little 13 year old sister willingly lost her virginity. So he was fine.

The memory made his eye twitch.

"Y'know… I kinda underestimated my traits. But having over 1000% increased EXP gain is kinda over powered, huh…" And here he was worried about EXP spreading thin, bah! Just because he hadn't made full use of it.

Tia made a note to thoroughly check himself out later.

"1000%?!" She gaped at him, "A-Are you joking with me, Tia? Don't worry, I won't shoot you just because you lied to me. I'm just letting you know, that joke was not funny! Like, 1000% increase? That's insane!"

She was rambling.

He ignored her.

"LISTEN TO ME RAMBLE DAMMIT!"

"Evolution choices… Let's see… huh? That's… weird." He frowned.

"Oh thank god." Tia sighed in relief, "I thought I have to sit through this every time something needed to evolve."

First things first, he excluded Layla, Sakura, Eve and Pestilence from the newly unlocked System. Uni squinted her eyes at the sudden attack of bright light.

Tia slapped away her hands as she reached out to choke him.

"Those are some… impressive stats." He whistled, "'

"...I'm not going to let you go so easily after this," Uni declared, "You're dangerous, or rather, your pets are dangerous… I've never seen trash get strong so quickly."

"I won't stop you," He admitted, still staring at the recently evolved dead and winced when the pop-up of their double stat gain showed up. Maybe he didn't need to worry so much about his [Advancement Quest].

Clearly all he needed to do was hunt down Greater and Supreme opponents and then spam his undead.

Speaking of.

"I'm so gonna abuse this…!" Tia grinned, staring at his recently filled, and expanded MP gauge. "...Uni, stop glaring, you know I need this."

She sighed and turned around, which he took as permission to keep going. He was starting to like how things were turning out. Though maybe he shouldn't scan everything again, he could only take in so much info.

"Right, let's go evolve you guys some more. If luck is on our side then I'll have you all turn into A-rank threats by the afternoon!" Tia turned his attention at the ones he excluded.

First off, Layla, it was either to turn her into a [Death Knight] or [Death Squire]. One thing to note was the words 'Knight' and 'Squire'. Squires were basically Knights-in-Training under the service of an official knight.

In short, his choices were to get something that was already trained, or to get one that's still in training.

Tia picked the obvious choice.

...This was pleasant.

Layla now had a face that wouldn't send someone screaming in sheer terror the moment they looked at it. Though it was still littered with light scars. Tia could compare it to a below average Japanese girl.

Her body was still the same though. So if she keeps looking better with each evolution, maybe he might have a scalding hot woman under him. Well, he'd rather have a powerful subordinate than a beautiful one.

"...Your horse is looking weird," Layla recoiled as if she was struck in the gut. "What? Don't look at me like that, the thing has two heads. I can't even trick myself into calling it a Bicorn with that."

It was part of Layla, so it wouldn't show anything that he wouldn't see from looking at the woman herself. That being said, he didn't know if it had a will of its own, or if it was just an extension of Layla's will.

"He isn't… weird!" She pouted. "Master is so mean…"

Tia moved on.

Now then, for Eve and Pestilence.

Eve seemed to prefer the [Lesser] tier of her current race. He wanted to try something, so maybe there was some merit there. Besides, it would just take five seconds to find a Greater tier Monster and then max them out.

Similar to how Sakura evolved, a sheathe of light enveloped the small spider's body. It took a minute for the changes to occur. After it faded, Eve's body gained an inch or two in height and her fur got smoother.

A small hand tugged on his sleeve, Pestilence stared up at him with sparkling eyes. Tia pulled up her status sheet and hummed.

"...I wouldn't be averse to a Ice-Type," He muttered and clicked onto the [Inferior Yuki-Onna] evolution. Tia took a step back as the snow beneath them shifted.

"That's… new." Uni muttered to herself. "Isn't it usually them being covered in light? Why is it that this one gets swallowed up by the ground."

The best way to describe the structure in front of them was a cocoon made out of ice. They could see Pestilence inside of it as red and black lines crawled towards her body. Tia leaned against Layla's horse as they waited.

It took longer. Perhaps it was because of the new type of evolution? This needed more testing, but he had no idea why it happened in the first place. None of the others with an Ice Affinity evolved like this.

'Its cold,' Tia frowned and took another step back. 'I hate the cold…'

Pestilence now had the face of an adolescent girl, somewhere around 12 to 13. Her body was around the same, wrapped with a ashen white kimono with a red obi and a snowflake pattern.

"Is it just me or did the temperature just drop like a hammer in a lake?" The CPU shivered, "Hey, did you do something?"

"How hurtful, to assume I did something just because the temperature suddenly dropped." He said slowly, silently enjoying how she pouted. "...Anyways let's get going. We've wasted enough time here."

It feels weird having such a large army at your beck and call.

"Master. I feel... something in that room." Layla pointed towards the nearest hole in the wall. Tia sighed and readied himself for another rush of evolution.


Oroshi was depressed. Or was it disappointed? He was either of those things or maybe both of them. In any case, the moment he rejoined the group he sulked on the side while Alice played with Lucas.

Though 'played' was… it wasn't the word he'd use in this case.

"Dance! Dance you little brat!" The usually calm and arrogant heiress grinned like a maniac. Arrows of ethereal light notched on her bow one after the other and shooting towards Lucas at such speed it broke the sound barrier. "Dance!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" The blonde shrieked and crawled, rolled and jumped away from the resulting explosions. Oroshi wisely looked away and found Nepgear looking worried. "EEEEEEEK!"

Lucas must've done something to piss her off that badly.

Thankfully she wasn't too pissed at him, if a little annoyed at how easy he got knocked away.

The older man knew that if a woman was pissed… it was better to run for the hills. However, if the woman was ultra-powerful and capable of rendering houses to rubble, it might be better to get on their knees and beg.

"I-I think that's enough Alice!" Nepgear tried, "Goodness, please don't kill him!"

"Don't worry Nepgear, I won't kill him." Her smile was terrifying. "I'll just take out a limb or two. Preferably the one at top."

"That'll still kill him!" Lucas vigorously nodded, sweat pouring out from his face like a waterfall. "What the goodness happened between those two…?"

"Don't know… and I don't think I'd want to know." This was coming from the guy with over 90% physical damage reduction and with 1000+ points in END. Though maybe he should invest in WIS next time, for magic defense. "Ask Alice when she doesn't look like she'd smite you."

Nepgear nodded, remembering the times Blanc got really pissed. This was similar, but with a lot less cursing from Alice. "I hope they get along… oh, I wish Neptune was here, she'd know what to do."

"Pendragoooon!"

"EEEEEEEEEEK!"

"Lucas is starting to sound like a girl…" Oroshi muttered, "Should I stop it… no, I don't think I could even survive a minute if I interfered… well, she's not killing him."

'I wonder how Tia's doing. Uni said she went to help him, but did she get there in time?' The oldest player hummed, 'Wait… doesn't Tia hate Uni…? Well, they were together for a while and neither of them are dead so they should be fine.'


"I won't bother reacting anymore." Uni said with a deadpan tone. "Just… just don't go rouge. Your little minions are going to be a pain to exterminate."

"Does going rogue mean you'll be watching my every move? If so then I'd stay loyal, just so I don't have to deal with you." Tia paused, "But going rouge would mean being able to shoot you, so maybe I should!"

"Hey!" She paused. "...That might not be so bad, I could kill you without remorse too! Tia, go rouge right now!"

"After saying that you think I would?" As much as he didn't want her anywhere near him, he wasn't so against it that he'd do something that would lead to a certain death.

Maybe later, when he could fight back.

But for now, he'd take refuge at the fact that she can't kill him less she pisses off Histoire.

"What can you tell me about Lastation?"

"Uni?"

"I-I'm sorry, what did you just say?"

She was more surprised than shocked, although he could see something forming in her eyes. "I asked about what you can tell me about Lastation."

"...Why…?" Her eyes narrowed, "Hmph! I suppose I can tell you about it. You can't do anything to it anyways."

He rolled his eyes and let the girl talk.

Before the Demons came, Lastation was the rivaling Planeptune with their technology and strength. Despite the poor management of the patron CPU Neptune, Histoire's skills let them keep up with Noire's brilliance. They made a lot of progress in filtering their smog too, so the air was cleaner now than a hundred years ago. They didn't have a lot of cities like Planeptune or towns like Leanbox or Lowee rather they focused on the quality of their existing residents.

"Noire was working on expanding via conquering lands that Planeptune or Lowee left weak," And they usually won those skirmishes, leading to Lastation getting more land and resources.

"I couldn't do much since Noire took care of everything," She sheepishly admitted, "So since I couldn't help, I focused on getting strong! I'm confident only Nepgear can match me in combat capability!"

Uni blushed, 'Stupid gunblade, stupid Nepgear too! I can't shoot at her cute face!'

"Earth to Uni, Earth to Uni, the Yuri ship has not yet been launched in port Schinieden, recall back to harbor." He drawled lazily.

One narrowly dodged laser shot and bondage vine later, they were back to talking.

While on the way to the second floor he noticed a distinct lack of monsters. The Osbourne Hospital had dozens of monsters, while this only had three so far. It was weird, and it raised his guard.

He even had time to discover a new function, the [Attribute] System. Well, to make it short it was basically chaos beat nature, nature beats order and order beats chaos. With light and dark beating each other, it was possible there were undiscovered attributes too.

Uni was [Order] attribute, he had [Chaos] attributes, along with most of his summons sans Sakura and Ifrit who were of [Nature].

…It may be possible to summon using this thing, after all, the world was a big place, it couldn't be limited to those five.

"So Neptune was strong as an individual, really someone to look up to sometimes too! But she was so lazy!" Uni drifted off topic, "Like I know Noire loves her, but I'm worried about my sister you know? Neptune's nice but she's not responsible. She definitely doesn't deserve someone as amazing as Noire!"

'I have no idea what those people were like so I will take your word for it and laugh later on as I recount these words you are speaking about them to them and laugh at you.' Tia nodded at his plan. "What about Nepgear?"

"Nepgear is… nice. Really nice," Uni blushed, "She was our leader when our sisters got captured by Arfoire, the Deity of Sin. It was rough but she pulled through in the end, after all, she had me as her f-f-friend."

'I should hook them up.' He idly thought. 'I should hook them up ASAP. They'll be the best to poke fun at, that Nepgear girl seems to have a hidden dagger underneath all that rainbow. She would join me in teasing Uni.'

All the nice girls had a hidden dagger.

If they didn't, then obviously they were fake to begin with.

"...Doesn't this feel weird?" Uni froze, a hand on her chest while she told him about the recent modifications she bought for her gun collection. "Like, there haven't been any monsters."

"O-Oh, that's what you meant…"

"What'd you think I mea-"

"Shut up!" Tia shrugged with a smirk, "Y-Yeah, I was looking forward to show how below me you are. What the heck?!"

"Shade, go scout for a bit. Don't get spotted." It nodded and melted down into his shadow. "Let's wait for word Uni."

"Fine…"

'Why was I able to talk so easily…? I mean, its Tia! He hates me. I shouldn't be so comfortable.' Uni moved until there was a sizable distance between the two of them, he could spot a look of contemplation on her face before it morphed into something incomprehensible. 'He may stab me in the back.'

"..I should be able to summon another Spirit soon." [Standard Spirit Summoning] was getting close to its halfway mark, leaving Sakura and Ifrit leveled it up passively and his regeneration surpassed the cost in sustaining them, so they could stay indefinitely. "...Might as well rush it, its already 499."

He recalled Ifrit and suddenly regretted doing so. The fire djinn was always near it so he failed to notice it before, but the Tower was freezing. Tia immediately resummoned him and relaxed when the heat came back.

From there he grinded it with Sakura, and after a few hours and a few more floors with absolutely no resistance, weirdly enough, the skill reached the halfway mark.

[Standard Spirit Summoning can now support three [Spirits]

'Now then… Yep. I can now summon three.' Hm… He got lucky with Ifrit, and he got his target element with Sakura. Would he be as fortunate with his third summon?

…Now there was an idea.

"Uni! Come over here real quick." Tia ignored the sudden wariness in her expression as she came over. "Mind if you do me a favour?"

"...What?" Tia outstretched his arm and she looked as if he just said he can bring someone back to life. "...What?"

"I want to try something out." So far he'd been doing everything on his own, but what if he could use a catalyst, or maybe mix his energy with someone else's to form a new attribute? He was lacking a catalyst at the moment so he had to settle for the latter.

"O-Okay." This was weird. "What do I do next?"

"Your hand is surprisingly soft," Tia murmured, "Anyways, I'm going to try summoning something. Try to synchronise your magic with mine while I do it."

"...Wait, how do I do that exactly?"

He had absolutely no idea. "You're smart, you can figure it out. Now on my count!"

Black Lightning arced through his arm, Tia held back a sharp hiss from the sudden pain, it rose it up till their joined fingertips and left to form a sphere in front of them.

On Uni's side, ruby red water flowed out, it was reminiscent of blood yet smelled roses. It freaked her out but she didn't let go. The red water formed a sphere around the lightning and held it inside.

"Argh!" They both couldn't expect a second, stronger round of pain as something large leaked from their pores.

"Is this what summoning feels like?!" Uni shouted through the pain. "It sucks!"

Tia grunted in response as his head throbbed. "Bear with it."

Grey fire burst out and rushed towards it. The addition of the grayed flames made the sphere unstable, and it exploded.

Violently.

His undead rushed to form a wall against it and most perished in the face of it. Sakura enveloped them with her walls and vines while Layla hugged them both with her back facing the explosion. Pestilence and Eve were behind them, and could not do anything but watch.

"That's… a guaranteed critical failure. Why do these things always hurt so much…?" He really should invest in some points in END or armour, cause at this rate, he was going to die from summoning. "Note to self, don't try to synchronise summon with Uni… or any other CPUs."

Uni pushed herself out of Layla's solid embrace and glared at him. He made a point to look away, she sighed and downed a Elixir. "What happened?"

"This never happened before." Tia mentally closed the death notices from his other [Contracts]. It was depressing, but they weren't anything he couldn't replace. "...Ifrit's flames affected the room he was summoned in, right? Maybe its best to do this in an open area… or a bunker."

As he was closing them he noticed something strange.

"...Fucking luck streak," He started to laugh. "It was a success!"

Uni crossed her arms and turned to the dust cloud, she didn't even try to guess what he got. Hmph, if that was how she was playing then he wouldn't tell her either.

Still…

Tia had gotten [Great Success] before, and it popped out someone like Ifrit, if still a cub. What would something that warranted a [Phenomenal Success] let out? 'Well… that's interesting.'

'It better make up for the ones it killed. I only have Pestilence and Eve with the Shade left from the new group.' Tia was starting to get impatient as the dust cloud stubbornly refused to disperse.

"O-Oowww…" Uni's face turned into alarm as a feminine voice cut through the silence. She swiveled towards him with a heated glare but he merely raised a brow.

He had no idea what he was doing. For whatever came out, it was her fault for leaving him unsupervised. No, it was doubly her fault because she helped him.

Uni rummaged into her pack and brought out a gem, crushed it under with her fingers, and summoned a strong gale. Her eyes widened as it parted the cloud.

"...That is an elf." Tia nodded, eyeing her long and luscious blond hair.

"That is an elf!" Tia nodded once again, eyeing the elf's stacked yet slender body. She was around the height of a college student with the body of a model. She had a red gem the color of Uni's eyes on her forehead...

"Uhm… yes, I am?" Uni was tempted to tear her hair out. "Who are you...?"

"How did you bring back something that's extinct?!" Tia pointed to Ifrit, who was also once extinct. "No, those are just ridiculously rare. But elves have been fucking extinct for five fucking centuries!"

"Uhm… I do not know what you are talking about, but could someone please acquire me some clothing so that I may not be nude in front of my Creators?" The elf blushed a pretty pink.

Tia parted with his warm parka and tossed it to her. It barely reached the middle of her thighs but it covered her body. "Many thanks."

"Name?" Tia asked.

"Ah, yes… of course… my name is Marie… Marie Schnieden." Tia sighed as he felt the barrel of a gun behind his head. He was absolutely innocent in this but he felt like that would have done nothing to appease the girl behind him.

A stinging pain shot through his brain as the backlash from the death of his [Contracts] finally caught up to him. The number held it back for a minute, but that just meant it hit him all at once.

If the pain Amari's death made him faint from being unprepared.

What would the collective force of ten do?

"Ha! I'm gonna pass out… but it isn't because you made me… Uni!" The girl snapped and pulled the trigger.


"My, my, my oh my! How interesting your charge is oh dear Behemoth~" They looked into the large mirror which displayed an unconscious teen being carried in the arms of a half-naked blonde girl whilst another one with raven hair shot at them with a fury not unlike a demon.

"This is unexpected… and wholelly unwelcome."

"WHY MUST WE WAIT?!" Apocrypha's already booming voice shouted. "WE MUST STRIKE WHILE THEY ARE WEAK!"

A slender hand covered rosy lips, "Oh, Apocrypha… they will be weaker once they go through this dungeon… after all, I already pulled each and every monster from every floor and stacked them on the fifth floor."

A feminine voice sighed regretfully, "Oh, if only I could join them. Then we could have gotten an orgy, Behemoth~"

"Stay away from my dick, Lilith."

"Then put on some pants! I get all hot and bothered just looking at you~" Behemoth snorted and glared at the mirror. "Phooey~"

"Hmph." The demon with a goat's head narrowed his eyes, "How are the preparations for Lowee's collapse?"

"Splendidly! We only lost a few monsters to the 'Players' but they were one of the weak ones anyways~ They didn't matter." Lilith pulled up a tab, "The plan remains the same, the weaklings distract the military while we bring down one of the big guns."

"...Will one of us die like Morgana?"

"...Its likely, report says that the same CPU who killed her is here."

"MORGANA WAS WEAK TO FALL TO ONE OF THEIR PUNY CPU!"

"Weren't you knocked around like a little kitten by the green one?"

"SILENCE!" Apocrypha roared, "IT WAS THAT BEAST AND RED ONES FAULT… IF IT WEREN'T FOR THEM, I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO SUFFER SUCH HUMILIATION! I HAVE TRAINED LONG AND HARD, SHOULD I MEET THE RED ONE I WILL NOT BE SO EASILY BEATEN BACK!"

Lilith shook her head and waved her arm, the mirror shimmered and showed a lavender haired girl with three of the players. "Nepgear of Planeptune… It was said that with Neptune's mysterious disappearance and her promotion as the main CPU, her power skyrocketed to unimaginable levels. Even the ancient CPU Iris Heart would probably quiver under her full power."

"BAH!" Apocrypha spat, "WHAT IS THAT FEAR IN YOUR VOICE? YOU DARE CALL YOURSELF AN APOSTLE IN MY PRESENCE, COWARD! BEGONE!"

The towering demon stood up and left them to their lonesome. Lilith sighed and massaged her head. "That moron will be the death of me… oh Behemoth~ Be a dear and help me by ravishing me please~ pretty please~ pretty please with a strawberry/me on top~"

"No."

Lucas sighed deeply when he looked at his newly obtained trait. He felt that it was well deserved. A single bad experience, was no reason to let Alice be killed when he could have saved her. His family would be ashamed of him, and he would be disowned if they heard about it.

'It showed up after I hid. Was that enough for the system to give me this…?' They made it to the Basilicom in Lowee to rest while Nepgear moved to talk with Blanc. 'Alice hadn't stopped glaring at me but… at least she isn't fucking shooting me anymore! Those things blew a Yeti's brains out!'

Lucas trembled in the corner of the room they were in before freezing. He wouldn't have trembled like that before. Was this its effect? How could it act so fast!

"Are you… okay?" The blonde jumped in fright but soon calmed down when he saw it was just one of the Candidates, Rom. "I-I'm sorry…"

"N-No! No, i-its fine." Lucas was tempted to bite his tongue, he shouldn't be stuttering! Why won't his body stop shaking?! "A-Ah, w-where's Nepgear?"

"Miss Nepgear is talking with Blanc…" The blond felt like his bone would jump out and leave his skin and organs behind when Rom sat down beside him. He felt ashamed and terrified when she smiled at him. "The lead you found… it… really helped us!"

A brief sense of pride bubbled in his chest, before it was shot down cruelly by an arrow from an imaginary Alice, and then crushed it under her heels. Lucas deflated and winced when Rom turned to look, "Y-You should thank Alice! S-She did most of the work a-and…"

And now he was feeling inferior.

"Lucas!" The blonde paled as a familiar voice cut through the awkward air. "Blanc needs to talk with you!"

Alice was wearing a new set of clothes. It was similar to the one she had before they went out but only a different color. Her eyes were frosty as she glared down at him.

"W-What's this about Blanc?" His voice trembled. "A-Ah, sorry Rom, I-I have to meet with your sister."

Rom nodded and slowly left the room, sparing one concerned glance towards him and Alice before vanishing around the corner.

"Let's move." Alice coldly said, before muttering under her breath. "Why couldn't Oroshi come and fetch you instead…"

The throne room, or the main office, was a lot more intimidating when a person clad in full plate armor opened it. Lucas let out a low whine before taking a step back.

"What's with the face?" Would be he forgiven if he admitted surprise when he heard Oroshi's voice under the helmet? "...How rude! I look great in this!"

"You look like a filler knight you'd find in a third rate, low budg- no, a costume thrown by a poor kid for Halloween and thought using a bucket as a helmet was a good idea and a pan as their shield." Oroshi deflated at Alice's harsh words.

"Y-You don't look that bad Oroshi." Nepgear tried to bring him back up awkwardly, not that it worked because by the look on her face, she thought the same.

After the older man got out of the suit and sulked on the side, they finally got down to business. Blanc walked into the room and looked weirdly at a fidgeting Lucas, a sulking Oroshi, a venomous Alice and a nervous Nepge- wait, that was normal.

"Where's the normal one?" They all winced. "...No, nevermind, that doesn't matter."

She sat down on her chair and unfurled the map lying on her desk. "I'll get straight to the point. You, Lucas, have found something in an area… my men have thoroughly searched before… and for it to be something so obvious, they need a thorough disciplining to miss something like this!"

Blanc's eyes flashed red when Lucas leaked a whimper. "...Are you afraid?"

Lucas opened his mouth, but was slapped shut by Alice. He trembled further when she layered him with a scathing glare. The blond got the message, 'Shut the fuck up and let me handle this.' He backed up and watched the sole female player take the lead again.

"Lucas is a coward." He gaped. "But he will fight… this one promises to force him on the frontlines until he is unable to even feel the slightest bit of fear."

...Lucas was trying not to piss his pants when the words struck him with their promise. However, he was inwardly glad she was doing this. Perhaps this could help with getting rid of the [Coward] trait he was stuck with! The blonde bit the insides of his cheeks and tried to look a little braver.

Blanc wasn't pleased. "I can't trust my people to a frightened child with a sharp stick."

"J-Just give them a chance, okay Blanc? I swear to pick up their sla-"

"We can't afford to let them have any slack!" Blanc snapped, a torrent of blue and white circling around her body before she transformed. Lucas could feel what little courage he gathered the last minute quickly slither through his fingers. "This is a demon who fucking critically injured me in an ambush Nepgear! I don't give a fuck if they want to fight, they'll die like the fucking reprobates they are!"

White Heart was a girl that held nothing back. Her hair was a bright blue and her eyes were a pretty ruby red. After her outburst, the Goddess closed her eyes and calmed down, reverting her transformation.

Alice winced.

Oroshi transitioned from sulking to brooding.

None of them liked having their weakness poked at.

"B-But you have me, and Uni, and Rom and Ram this time too! We'll be ready this time! I promise!" Blanc looked like she wouldn't be convinced so easily.

"I'll be honest, Nepgear…" Blanc sighed, "I'm happy they gave this info, ecstatic even but… as I said before, I can't trust them to not fuck this up when the fighting really starts. They can't even get rid of a Yeti, what would happen if they cross a demon?"

Nepgear bit her lips and thought of something, anything, to convince the older and more experienced CPU but frowned when nothing came up.

"...No more words?" She asked, "Then leave, Nepgear, do help evacuate the people to Planeptune through the teleporter. I don't want them caught up in this."

Once again they were kicked out with a disappointed Blanc, only to be followed by a frustrated Nepgear who immediately moved to do as told. However, she gave them a patient smile, one Lucas tried… but failed to return. Alice walked off towards somewhere followed by Oroshi, leaving him alone with nothing to do.

"U-Uhm, Lucas…?" He felt his heart jump out from his chest. Rom stood behind the corner pillar poking her head out to look at him. He felt his heart cluech at how adorable, and terrifying she looked. "A-Are you… fighting with Blanc…?"

"A-Ah, n-no, s-she's just worried, don't worry about it." He gave what he hoped was a confident smile, but by her expression it wasn't hard to guess he failed miserably. "I-I uh, gotta go train."

Lucas ran, a glance back would tell him that Rom tried to stop him. Her arm was outstretched but she froze midway.

"This is harder… than how Miss Nepgear said it'd be." The blue clad girl frowned.


Tia woke up feeling rather refreshed. After all it wasn't everyday a person wakes up to a flaming wolf nuzzled around you and the softest pillow ever. The only thing that could ruin such a pleasant awakening was the rifle aimed at his face by an admittedly cute but dangerous girl.

"Explain, now, before I lose control and pull the trigger." Uni warned.

"...I don't know. I have no idea what even happens when I summon something." Tia admitted. "All I know is that as long as I give MP or materials, something is bound to pop out of the circle."

"My earliest memory is a room of light and warmth." Marie began talking, slightly hoping this would stop her creators from fighting. "Then a door of the brightest red appeared before me. At first, I was wary, yet as time went by there was this feeling of nostalgia and… longing. It felt like someone I know, someone I love is behind it, waiting for me to cross. I lost control and walked through and… well, you know the rest."

"Sakura?"

"Yep! Sounds about right! Though instead of light and warmth the room Sakura was in was made of wood, rock with a river in the middle." Sakura answered. "Through the door that showed up in Sakura's room was black! It sucked in the light but it felt nice!"

"I'm not sure of the specifics but it is what it is and because it is what it is then we have to deal with it… as it is." Maybe he could've formed that sentence better but he was too lost in alternating between being wary of the barrel in front of him, and the soft thighs under his head. "In any case, she's pretty strong."

'Not strong enough to replace the potential of the ones she killed though… bah, I can just make more.' He didn't lose the special ones, and that was all that mattered. Quality over quantity though he will be needing both eventually.

Suddenly the ground began to shake.

Uni stopped fooling around and took a defensive stance while he hopped on the back of Ifrit, dragging Marie along with him. She had no weapon for the moment, so she was essentially useless for the time being.

"Start backing up, I'm feeling an intense pressure coming from that hallway."

[Report! Inferior Frost Shade has been killed]

Tia clicked his tongue and endured the sudden, but familiar pain of losing a [Contract] his head was bursting with pain but he opted to glare at their front. "I'm not losing anybody else... Everybody into the [Monster Storage]!"

"...Tia, don't bother arguing with me and listen. I'm going to blast a hole in the wall and I'm going to need you to run." Uni's body flashed and transformed, "I'll be preoccupied with this thing and I can't afford any distractions! On my coun-"

A large paw slammed onto the floor in front of them, followed by another. "Shit! It's already here!"

Tia tried to analyze it but winced when all he saw were blurs. That meant whatever this thing was far, far, far more superior than where he currently stands. "Don't bother with a countdown and blast a hole! You're coming with us."

"Huh?! What are you talking about? I have to stay here and stall!"

"You have a gun! Shoot it while we run!"

Uni clicked her tongue and turned her rifle to the wall behind them and opened fire, Tia didn't wait for her to stop and began running. He could her her taking off and shooting potshots at the giant arm.

"THAT HURTS!" He resisted the urge to cover his ears. The voice was loud, deafeningly so. It had to be a demon, or at least one of the ones part of the additional objectives. There were no other explanations. "...THIS MUST BE MY LUCKY DAY HAHAHA! I AM APOCRYPHA, AND I AM AN APOSTLE OF THE DEMON LORD BEELZEBUB! RUNNING IS FUTILE! I WILL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH IF I MUST!"

Apocrypha quickly chased after them, his lips were a gleeful smile and he could see Uni's expression twist into disgust. Tia clicked his tongue as an idea came to him.

"[Create Party! Invite to party [Oroshi]!]" Tia felt something shoot through his spleen but he ignored it, "There's urk, no time to explain! Someone, anyone! Get any of the CPUs over her-"

"Tia!"

Tia pushed both Ifrit and Marie into the [Monster Storage] before they were caught in an explosion, everything turned white for a split second before turning dark.


"Nepgear!" Oroshi ran down the stairs shouting the CPU's name. He grit his teeth when he nearly twisted his ankle, but this just wasn't the time for that. The teleportation room was filled to the brim with people who were trying to make it out of Lowee before the battle started. He could make out Nepgear's long lilac hair above.

"Nepgear!" The CPU seemed surprised to see him so haggard. "Its an emergency!"

"W-What is it?" She ushered the civilians to keep on moving while the teleporter still had some juice and met him in the middle. She dragged him towards the stairs for privacy.

"Tia and Uni encountered a Demon! They suddenly got cut off but I think its the same one that hurt Blanc!" Nepgear's eyes sharpened before she transformed and flew up the stairs. Oroshi yelped when he flew with her.

They passed by Lucas who was running with his head down, they passed by Alice who was reading a book while walking, they passed by the two Candidates of Lowee. Oroshi tried to grab them but just managed to graze them, however they figured something out and began following.

"Blanc! Its an emergency!" Nepgear shouted as soon as they knocked down the door. Blanc slammed her hands on her desk and rose up with a dark look in her eyes, "U-Uni encountered one of the demons! There's a good chance that there's more! We have to go and provide back-up!"

Blanc frowned and looked around, "Alright, you three go out and help… take that player with you too. Show him just how a fight with a real demon looks like."

"Wait! Wait! Wait! What the heck is going on?!" Ram shouted. "Demon? As in the one that hurt Blanc? What happened to Uni?!"

"I'll explain on the way there! Let's move!" Nepgear grabbed Oroshi by the back of his suit and shot off into the horizon, Rom and Ram glanced uneasily but soon followed. "Where did Tia go off to?"

"North! Around the mountains!"


Damn that demon.

Uni let loose a powerful shot before dipping down to avoid it being reversed. It was deflecting everything she shot at it! What the hell is that op skill? She couldn't do anything then! Think, think! She had to think!

Her eyes were drawn to one of her deflected shots and she gasped, "Tia!"

She didn't make it in time. The player shoved his summon and the elf into a rip in space before he got swallowed by the stray beam. Uni didn't wait for the dust to settle before darting into it.

"Shit, shit, shit!" She underestimated it. If it could reflect projectiles then she was useless! "Argh! Why did you have to be so unlucky!"

Tia was knocked unconscious from the blast. His body had some third degree burns but thankfully he didn't lose another limb. Uni did a barrel roll to avoid a glob of acidic venom and another one for a beam.

"Ugh! Would you lay off!" She grit her teeth when Apocrypha laughed. 'I need to contact Nepgear!'

"WHAT'S WRONG LITTLE GODDESS?! WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?!" She wasn't running! She was flying! "HAHAHAHA LILITH WAS WORRIED FOR NOTHING!"

If only her shots don't get deflected!

This thing wouldn't have even stood a chance.

Uni weaved through globs of acid and beams, with an unconscious Tia hanging off her shoulder. If she could outspeed it then…! Uni dived to avoid a wide and powerful beam. "Shit!"

It cleaved off a significant portion of the mountain, stripping them of their tips. Uni rose back up and tried to shoot but once again, they got deflected. Apocrypha's laughter grew with every shot.

"Dammit!"


Tia knew he was dreaming, or was this the 'life flashing before his eyes' thing people were always going about when they get on their deathbed? The amber eyed teen looked around and frowned, no, this wasn't that thing, why? Because he knew that he had never seen a purple haired woman in his family's cemetery.

"Who are you?" His mouth moved against his will, "This is supposed to be inaccessible from the public, how did you get in here?"

She was standing in front of the giant gravestone with a gobsmacked expression on her face. As mentioned before, her hair was a weird purple while her outfit… Dream Tia coughed to the side and looked away with a small blush. It left nothing for the imagination and she was stacked.

Real Tia was just weirded out by how similar it looked to Uni's own suit when she transformed.

The gravestone itself was large, easily the size of a door. It was made of stone and had weird symbols going around the edges, runes, his parents told him. He looked it up but found none of the ones listed in Wikipedia on it.

"Talk before I have to get rough."

Dream Tia raised his brow when she turned around and noticed her glowing blue eyes, was this woman a ghost? Nobody's eyes glowed like that. "I… I am Neptune, and I think that I am lost."

"Is that so…?" She stood still while he looked her over. Dream Tia sighed and shook his head, "Your suit doesn't look like it can hide something inside, so you aren't a graverobber at least… come with me, I can take you outside."

Disregarding the fact that there was nothing to rob here, since despite its inaccessibility to the public, it only had a long walk with ominous willow trees that glowed an odd and supernatural blue and pink when it was a new moon.

He had suspicions that it was haunted since he was a kid since he kept feeling a chill whenever he went to clean the gravestone.

"Where is this place?" Neptune asked, her hands inched closer to her back but froze midway and awkwardly looked around the creepy place.

"...I'll make this short, this is a cemetery owned by my family." Dream Tia said curtly, "We're in Germany right now, but if you're asking about this place then its a restricted area where nobody should have any business going to."

She nodded slowly, digesting his words with a look of confusion which slowly morphed into glee. Dream Tia ignored her when she muttered, 'It worked! It worked Histy!'

"I'm sorry for trespassing here, I assure you that I have no bad intentions being here." Dream Tia's eyes narrowed, "Might I ask your name?"

"...Tia Schnieden, the heir of this cemetery."

"I see…" It might just be their imagination but he swore she was doing a small dance in her head with how her eyes glowed. "Wait, isn't Tia a girl's na-"

"Finish that sentence, I dare you, and I'll turn you over to the cops before you can say 'oops'."

Real Tia frowned as everything turned trivial from that point onwards. The woman, Neptune… he was sure he'd remember such a voluptuous woman, not to be a pervert or anything, but anyone would remember someone that beautiful.

"This is so weird…" He frowned, "...I don't have time to stay idle here, Uni's out dealing with that weird demon. I have to wake up."

...But fate had other plans, Dream Tia and Neptune froze mid-step once he looked away, and there was an invisible barrier stopping him from moving ten meters away from them from all directions.

"...What a pain in the ass." No choice but to see this through… hopefully Uni can hold out long enough. Besides, he contracted Oroshi. He should be able to call the other CPUs and get them to move. "...Not sure why I'm seeing this but fine, I'll play along... Let's see this Lost Memory."
