Elesis - Empire Sword

Chung - Fatal Phantom

Another day, another mystery—something that will make people wonder for a long time until they completely forgot about it. They either try to find out by asking people, blackmailing, risking their own lives to find the answer, or not even giving a single f-ck about it. Me? I'm the last one.

I don't really care about anything anymore, to be honest.

I used to care about a lot of things—my mom, new knowledge, new challenges, especially the core of Queen of Nasods. But then I began to less care about most of things until I didn't even bother about anything anymore.

Except chocolate, snacks, and drinks.

Sometimes giving up is a good answer. I'm here to accept many kinds of request through e-mail or phone as my job. Sometimes my co-workers ask the reason behind the request, but I never give them the answer.

Because I never ask the clients why.

A green haired elf with long braided hair walks toward me. She always have her killing presence, even though she's a really kind mother-like figure in this place. "Did you see the news? Call the client."

I open Elrine site on one of my dynamos, the best news website that always give an article faster than TV's breaking news. On the top of the site, there's a news about a founder of COBO Service killed by a Twilight. I look at the one called Twilight in front of me and stare at her eyes. "You know I can't call him during the day, Rena."

The elf smiles happily and pats my head. "I know, Add! I just want to tell you I did the job!" she shouts as she gives me a plastic bag filled with snacks and drinks. Glad she knows what I actually need besides the report. "Tell me if you need me to work again. I'll be in the kitchen," she says with a smile and waves her hand before she goes away. Sometimes she's crying for someone she just killed, but looks like the victim is an assh-le this time.

Nothing appears on my e-mail so far, so I continue on coding a website for another client. If we have another engineer, we would be able to finish this in a short time like the client wants to. Sadly I have to do everything alone, including receiving requests and rewards, picking the right person to do the request, repairing broken stuffs, assisting boss if she needs a help, making strategies if the workers need it, and fortune telling (I actually go to the future with inaccurate timeline and see what happens instead of doing supernatural stuffs).

"Hey, Add! I bought a lot of snacks for you!" I can see a red haired girl with ponytail walks toward me with a big smile and... literally a lot of snacks. She puts all the plastic bags beside my chair and sits on the table. "How's everything going?"

I stare at her eyes. "Elesis, I overworked. You want me to do almost everything when we're actually in need of more people. Are you trying to find a worker or a god?"

Elesis, which is my boss, laughs with happiness while her workers suffer in pain and agony. She wipes out her tears from laughter and pats my head. "I'm sorry, but you're so useful! Maybe you can find people that meet the requirements!"

"See? You just add another task on my job description," I reply as I look away from her and face my monitor again. She just laughs at me, wishes me a good luck, and goes to wherever she wants. I can't really fight her since I'm just a worker and in need on something to do besides trying to go back to the past. It would be a problem if I got fired because of my child physical appearance. I got declined anywhere to find job before. They thought I was sending an application as a prank.

How did I get here? Well, she used to be the one who received request, so I simply asked for a job.

Meow!

That's a sound of a new article on Elrine. I always turn on the notifications to see whether the workers completed their jobs or not.

"President Hoffman Assassinated."

He was a great man, in my opinion. Only God and the client know the reason why. When I received my first e-mail, I wondered if I should decline several requests or not. I decided to accept everything to watch the world burns.

Someone passes by; a blonde boy with white armors named Chung. He might be everyone's white knight dream by appearance, but he's actually a cold blooded assassin. Unlike Rena, he's actually ready to kill anyone, even his father that he was supposed to save from darkness. Don't ask me how he became like this because I'm not planning to ask about it.

I open my bags of potato chips and keep coding the website. It's a website about rumors, so it works like social media but filled with rumors. And yes, Elesis wants me to do the design for the website as well.

Luckily I got a huge amount of money for all I did, even though I don't know where to use my money, so I gave it back to my boss. She lets me stay here and gives all the thing I need to keep living, so it's fine.

I'm completely fine with all these works.

"Add, you need some rest!"

I startle and look at Rena in front of the desk. "You can't disturb me when I'm coding, Rena," I say to her. Disturbing someone who's coding something is like surprising a cat. That actually surprised me, I can hear my own heartbeat on my ears.

"You need a meal beside all the snacks. Come on, let's eat!" she shouts as she grabs my hand and walks to the kitchen. Four of us are the only one that live in here, but only the two of us who have a strong bond. I wouldn't say romance relationship, but she's like a mother to me. She's the reason why I completely gave up in going back to the past to save my mom.

"I only cook spaghetti because I'm hungry. Sorry to disappoint you," Rena says with a small laugh. She will never disappoint me when I don't even expect anything in the first place. When we eat, we don't have a single conversation until she finishes her food (because I won't start an inessential conversation). It's not good to eat and talk at the same time anyway.

"Did Elesis ever tell you about herself? Including why this organization was made?" Rena asks. I shake my head to give my answer—because snacks aren't making me full and this spaghetti is delicious, so I need more and keep eating. I wouldn't call this an organization if the boss has less jobs than her worker. All I know is this is a place called Elsa Workshop (no, it's not a workshop) to accept requests, mostly assassination because we have two assassins. Elesis will do another job like finding an item or becoming a courier to take illegal stuff. This 'workshop' is obviously illegal; our existence spread in illegal places.

Then how it became popular and got so many requests? Well, Elesis asked me to make it popular, so I simply announcde it in public. The news were talking about us for several days. They were searching for us, but they won't be able to find us if I keep changing the workshop's information online. At the same time, we got a bunch of requests after the news, so it's worth it.

"Well, you're receiving the requests, so I should let you know about this," Rena says with a sad smile on her face. "Elesis had a little brother named Elsword, but he went missing for ten years. Her family asked the police for help, even the whole Velder—the place where her father works—was helping them as well. They never found him until this day. She gave up on them and began to search for something else, something hidden that even people don't realize they exist." Rena chuckles before she continues her story, "She ended up make one of that hidden thing. She believed she might be able to find her brother somehow."

Okay, cool story.

I finished my food and stood up. "Thanks for the food. I'm going back to work." I come back to my desk and eat the rest of potato chips in the bag. Even though I'm full, it doesn't stop me from eating snacks.

Chirp!

That's a sound for new e-mail. I open the e-mail to see the newest request.

…

As I expected, Elesis comes to me after I open the e-mail. "What's the verification code, Add?" she asks as she looks at her phone.

"468345."

She thanks me and goes back to her room. I want her to stop using the e-mail to register on random things, but she's still doing whatever she wants with her things. Probably another game Chung plays in his phone and Elesis tags along. Even though Chung is a cold blooded assassin, he's like a whole different person in cyberspace. Maybe his real self still exists somewhere in his heart.

My real self? I wonder.

Thanks for reading!
