(At Tokyo)

Hajime wakes up to found himself in his old bedroom and pushes the blankets from himself of trying to figure out on how he got here in the first place. He gets up onto his feet then Hajime turns to sees his left arm and hand were back to normal.

Was it all just a nightmare or dream that he and his classmates were transported to a new world to save it?

The question was racing through his mind, and he turned his head to sees his bedroom's light brown wooden door then Hajime begins to race towards the bedroom's door to see if this world is real because Hajime wants to see the two people meaning it was his parents. He stops inside of his tracks of walking with his right-hand was reaching out to take a hold of golden doorknob, yet he felt something that Hajime never felt before.

"As much as I would love to see and hear from them again," Hajime was telling himself with a tender voice about wanting to see his parents again and alive, yet his right-hand goes down onto his side, "I am deeply sorry, Father and Mother… But it is time for me to move on and try my best to make a new life form myself." His hair covers his eyes with tears begins to drop from his eyes since Hajime wanted to see his parents again, however, it was time to do the impossible task and move on from his parents.

Hajime felt himself becoming his new self to find his left arm down to his hand was gone, yet he was not going to worry about the solution since it was time for him to accept his new role or new life. He was going to stay at Yue's side to make sure she has the best life since she is the last one of her kind. His hair becomes pure white, and his eyes becomes crimson red as nothing happened to him with his thoughts were clearing the labyrinth then going on adventure with Yue to find out on what happened to her kind.

(At Floor 91)

Hajime begins to open his crimson eyes to sees the stone ceiling of the labyrinth as his head felt little heavy, yet comfortably with his head raises to first see Yue was laying down with her head top of his chest area with her big and round breasts were pressed against him. He turns his head to sees the rest of White Demon T-Rexes were resting around him as his right-hand releases from Yue to sees uncover himself to sees he had no injuries, and his mana was restore thanks to White Demon T-Rexes and Yue who saved his life.

"Hajime," Hajime hears his name been smooth and tender voice as his head turns to first sees Yue was looking at him with her eyes with filled of hope to see Hajime in front of her again. She was going to start crying out of happiness, but Hajime placed his right-hand around her to hug her again, which it led to Yue hugging him again because she was happy to see him as awaken from his slumber.

"Yes, and thank you, Yue," Hajime responds back to her with a smooth voice, and he turns his head to sees the White Demon T-Rexes were happy to see their savior has return from the slumber.

Yue was going to ask Hajime about his dream since he was dreaming about his parents, which she never got to ask him about what happened to them or why he was not talking about the world that he is regularly from.

After getting dressed as Yue had serious expression as she was going to ask the serious question that haunts inside of her mind then she speaks again, "Hajime, why do you not speak of your family or the world that you came from?" Her voice is straight-forward of trying to learn more about him as Hajime stops on putting his shirt jacket on with his head looks down onto the solid ground with his hair covers his eyes since the question was going to asked sooner than later since Yue always wanted to stay at his side.

"My parents are gone, and it happened when I was barely twelve about to turn thirteen years old," Hajime responds back to Yue with an emotionless but honest voice because his parents meant everything to him. "My father was detective, and my mother was a first responder, who I was their only child. One day, they got a call about serial killer who has taken many hostages and he was going to kill all of them." Hajime continues to speak about his parent's death and their decisive moments in detail, yet he was only remembering the details thanks to police officer's report. Yue could tell that Hajime was having troubles on telling the tales of his late parents, yet he kept going on strong for telling the decisive moments, "My father and mother risked their lives on saving those people, but the serial killer got a good shot on them… I never got to see my parents after the ordeal since the chief told me that they did not make it and the scene was covered in blood."

Yue looks down at the solid ground because she could tell that Hajime was holding this much pain, loneliness and lost inside of his heart and mind. He turned away from her because he was not going to allow anybody to see his side of lost or pain that Hajime had continue his own for quite a while.

"What about the rest of your family and the world you came from?" Yue asked the tough question towards Hajime with a voice of worriedness about him, and Hajime placed his weapons inside of the clothing to get ready for the trip to get down of the labyrinth.

"My world that I came from is boring world and there is nothing that is keeping me there or go back to," Hajime told her with an honest but firm voice which his expression shows fierce because Hajime was not thinking about returning to his normal world since his family were not worried about him or they did not give a damn about him when he lost his parents. "My family left me when my parents were killed and they attend the funeral, but nobody was there to take me in, so I decided to alive on my own." Hajime told her with an honest voice and begins to realize that he was telling his past to Yue for the first time, which Yue could not blame him for trying to keep it inside of himself. However, his heart holds a lot of weight of feelings, yet Hajime kept trying to push forward of trying to figure out this new world and he might become someone important who might change the world for the better.

Hajime and Yue were ready to move out to their next location been the final room of the Orcus Labyrinth with his right-hand was stroking the leader of White Demon T-Rexes' head comfortably. "You should leave this labyrinth soon and see the world is bigger than this hellhole," Hajime was telling the White Demon T-Rexes with a soft voice and the T-Rexes looks at one another of wondering if leaving is the answer since their savior has made the offer to them.

White Demon T-Rexes Leader had a lot to think about to moving his clan or staying here inside of the Orcus Labyrinth, which he turned his head to see the young ones were wondering about the outside world. His head goes back to Hajime and his head nods at Hajime of accepting Hajime's offer as the clan begins to leave Hajime and Yue to find a way out of this labyrinth.

"Yue, it is time for us to leave and find the final room then we can get out of here," Hajime told her with a confidence inside of their abilities and strength to find then fight the final boss to gain their freedom to the outside world.

Hajime and Yue begin to leave as his head turns to sees Yue's new outfit on the revealing part as her white furry coat has changed into white furry top that only goes down to her belly, but it was revealing fifty percentage of her breasts and bottom half went down to her knees, but it was open to reveal her thighs by forty percent. Before anybody asks about what happened to Yue's regular outfit which it had happened when Hajime and Yue battled the Black Demon Brute.

"Enjoy the show, Hajime?" Asked Yue, her voice is a tender and her expression is smooth about hoping that Hajime would make a move on her and make her as his own mate in vampire's terms.

"I have no idea on what you are talking about," Hajime responds back to her with a nervous voice because Yue was trying to get Hajime's attention by using her looks.

Hajime and Yue continued their ways to find the final room of Orcus Labyrinth with the same idea inside of their minds of trying to find a way out of this labyrinth, yet Hajime was trying his best not to check Yue out. His head turns back of hoping the White Demon T-Rexes were going to be all right with their trip on trying to make it outside world.

"Hajime," Yue says with a concerned voice and Hajime turns his head to sees her been worried about him, but her breasts were making a big cleavage inside of her outfit.

"I'm fine, and I'm just little worried about the White Demon T-Rexes," Hajime responds back to her with a smooth voice and gentle expression. His cheeks turns bright red when Yue went over to him with her breasts bounces slightly as Hajime's cheeks turns intense red.

Yue begins to smile because she was happy that it was getting though him with her body, but the real question is how Hajime feels for her since he never spoke about his feelings towards her. They continued their journey down into the labyrinth for Yue trying to get read on Hajime and what he feels for her. "So, please tell me more about your parents, Hajime," Yue asks him to learn more about them because she knew about their death and Hajime found Yue as surprising supporter to help him out of his depression that has been haunted him for a while.

"Well, my father is detective in the best of the business in police station and my mother was best police officer," Hajime told Yue about his parents with a soft voice and his serious expression as Hajime climbs top of the hill then his right-hand extends to help Yue top of the hill. He was trying his best to not look inside of Yue's top which it was holding her breasts and light pink nipples. Yue giggles slightly as she allows her top to slip slightly to reveals more cleavage and helps her onto her feet to stand in front of him and his warm smile show towards her. "They met during an investigation; however, I can tell you that my mother was bit aggressive towards my father at first," He continues to speak towards her with a same voice and begins to wonder if they were still alive then what would they think about him now or would they become worried about him because the type of person that he became?

Hajime begins to remember their last moments with him as he finishes his tale by telling Yue, "The final moments before the incident happened is when we spend a simple but incredible morning together as family," His voice seem depressed because he did not know what to say about the moment, but his thoughts brought back of how they always faced everything with a bright smile or trying to stay positive for their son.

"I believe their last moments with you is everything that they need to know about how you would feel and turn out to be, Hajime," Yue respond back to Hajime with a confidence inside of her voice and expression. She show a gentle smile for Hajime to see it and he did not know what to say back to her with his lips forms warm smile since he was happy that someone was helping him to make him feel better.

Hajime and Yue continued their path with the same idea to complete the Orcus Labyrinth and try to understand on why the Labyrinths were created in the first place.

(Several Days Later)

Hajime and Yue walks though the Orcus Labyrinth Floor 99 is stone built hallway and the walls of the Floor 99 had mysterious drawings. Hajime went over to the stone wall to look over the drawings with his thoughts, "What are these people?" while Yue stops inside of her tracks before she sees a large black metal door with six snakes were holding the door to keep outsiders out from entering the room.

"Those are Light Elves, and the other ones are the Dark Elves," Yue tells Hajime with a smooth voice and Hajime turn his head of not believing what Yue is telling him.

"What happened to them?" Hajime asks Yue with a concerned voice because he did not encounter any elves since he got here with his classmates.

"Hajime, what happened to the Light and Dark Elves is something that is not easy for anybody to explain on what happened to them," Yue spoke back to Hajime with emotionless voice, but she knew that he was going to learn about the truth behind them, so she begins to speak about their tales of Light and Dark Elves since he wanted to learn about the truth about them. "Light and Dark Elves used to live on the Western side of Tortus," Yue begins to spoke about the tales of Light and Dark Elves.

(Fourteen Years Before)

There was a beautiful young girl who was running though the soft green grass back to her stone village with many homes and her people as she was carrying many fish. Her appearance is long silver hair down to her shoulders, her eyes are pure blue, and her ears were pointed in the air, her height is 4'2 and her weight is 102 pounds. Her name is Natalya, and she is Light Elf Princess with her outfit is long white dress down to her kneecaps with silver and light blue outline sandals.

The reason behind elves' aging is totally different from humans meaning elves could live up to been two to three fifty years old if they choose to be, however, this little girl is only three years old.

Natalya continues her journey back to large stone home with Light Eagle Feather symbol on the right side of the stonewall home with dark blue wooden rooftop as Natalya releases a soft breath because she was going to enter her house to tell her parents about the trip. Her right-hand was going to push the wooden door open, yet she stops inside of her tracks to hear her parents were talking to someone new inside of their home.

"What do you mean that my daughter Natalya is going to be the new vessel for Erit's disciple?" Natalya's father spoke with great anger inside of his voice and his expression show disapproval towards the news about how Natalya is going to be disciple for Lord Erit. Natalya's eyes extend with shock since she was going to be the new disciple to the new Lord Erit, but she did not agreed to be part of the disciple team since she wanted to live a simple life with her parents.

Natalya steps away from the wooden door to sees the strange man with long black robe with hood covering his face as it had dark blue outline on it. His height is 5'7 and his weight seems to be around 175 pounds as Natalya watches the man leave the village with her thoughts, "I don't want to be taken away from her village or home by someone like that," She was determined to stay away from that man because she felt a bad aura around him.

Natalya's father steps out of their stone home as he was strong man with dark silver hair down to his neck and his eyes were light purple as he turns his head to sees his daughter was listening to their conversation while he is calming his nerves down because he was not going to let anything happen to his daughter.

"Come in and let us have something to eat something together as family should," Natalya's father speaks towards his daughter with a gentle voice and her expression is honest.

Natalya shows a gentle smile as she went inside of the stone house with her father as they were going to enjoy the meal together. Natalya's father felt something was wrong and he stops inside of his tracks then his head turns to sees the massive explosion happens at the north of the village while his head looks at his daughter as she had frightened expression on her.

"Natalya, get down!" Natalya's father spoke with a firm voice as he went over to capture his daughter inside of his arms to protect her from the stones of their house. Some of them has entered his body with his clothes were showing dark crimson though his clothes as Natalya becomes worried about her father since he took a nasty bump to protect her.

"Please father, I don't want to be left alone," Natalya says to her with a sad voice and her eyes show great sadness because she did not want to lose one part of her family. Her father stroke his daughter's hair comfortably and smooth hand as she did not want to see her father off to next life without her, yet his warm hand made her feel incredibly inside of her spirit.

"Don't worry about me… I always… be with you… Just like your mother is always with us too," Natalya's father told his daughter with a tender voice and his expression shows great passion for he knew that Natalya was going to be taken away from her village, yet she will meet someone who was going to bring her back to her home village.

Natalya placed her father down onto the solid floor as she bends his hands onto his chest area and she gets up onto her feet to leave her stone home with her thoughts, "I promise that this false God Erit will pay for this," she was making a silent promise to find this false God Erit and end his life for taking everything away from her.

(At Heiligh Kingdom)

Noint opens her eyes as she felt her eyes were filled with great sadness again because she begins to remember about how her father was killed in front of her and she begins to remember about how father told her that someone was going to take her back to her home village. Noint was the missing Princess of the Light Elves, yet she already made her decision to stay in Heiligh Kingdom as she was waiting for her Hajime to come back to her.

"Hajime, you better come back to me soon because I want to see your smile again and feel your warmth again too," Noint says with a soft voice and her hands were placed in front of her with expression is filled with confidence to see her Hajime again.

The personality of Natalya was slipping though when Hajime was around her now since Hajime is gone, which it meant that Noint's emotionless state was returning to her for unknown reasons. Noint begins to leave the area as she was going to return to her new bedroom with her expression is smooth and she did not notice a midnight blue eyes were watching her from pure blue eyes.

(At Dark Heavens)

After seen one of his 'disciples' went off from his sights as the man who had dark blonde hair down to his neck side with black shirt been long sleeve down to his waist and midnight blue long pants down to his black sandals. His expression shows great displeasure about his little 'pawns' were now starting to get the better of him while he was the God of Creation been God Erit.

Erit stands up onto his feet and gets up from his throne to starts walking towards the Dark Heaven's prison to release one of the prisoners. He sees a black stone prison with midnight crimson rooftops as Erit steps inside of building to see cells and he stops inside of his tracks to sees inside of the cell that there was Erit's sister and brother who were hiding their presences inside of the shadows.

Erit's sister was beautiful young lady with light blue hair down to her shoulders and her eyes are light purple with her outfit is midnight blue dress down to her knees which it was revealing her 42D cup breasts inside of her dress which her appearance made her appear to be thirty-six years old. However, she seems like a teenager old.

"Please stop this madness, brother," Erit stops inside of his tracks because he heard the request from his sister, and he went over to the cell.

"Why should I ruin my fun to stop this pointless war?" Erit says with a firm voice and his right-hand makes a shockwave to sends his own sister against the wall. He unlocks the prison's cell then walks inside of the cell with his sister could not move and he begins to speak again, "Answer me this my sister… Why did you created the demons in first place?" Erit continues to speak with his sister with the same voice because he was enjoying on torturing her mind or her well-being.

"I created them, so we can have an equal race so the humans would not feel lonely like you did when mother and father were still around," Erit's sister was trying to talk to Erit and get him to stop on what he has planned for the world of Tortus.

"Yes, but they were foolishly to think that they can stop me from achieving the throne for myself and now you can either join me as your brother," Erit speaks back to her brother with a firm voice, and he steps out of the prison cell. He seals the door behind him and releases his sister from shockwave as she drops onto the solid ground of trying to catch her breath as she could not believe that her brother was sick and twisted inside of himself.

Erit stops inside of his tracks to sees a beautiful girl with light purple hair down to her shoulders with light blue eyes as her outfit is black top with her 38D cup is showing inside of her cleavage is showing with fifty percentage down to her belly and her skirt went down to lower thighs. Her weapon of choice is black, and midnight blue outline hunters bow as this girl was frightened about what God Erit might to do to her.

"Sakura, I have a request for you and if you do the job correctly then I shall set you free," Erit called her by her real name with a firm voice and his expression shows a sinister smile appeared because he was not going to allow anybody to ruin his game of chess or fun.

Sakura was Succubus Hunter meaning she would do anything to get free from this 'evil' mastermind who took everything from her, yet she wanted to meet the right person and make this person as her own mate. Her head bows down in front of him as she speaks again, "What do you require of me to do, sir?" Her voice is soft but frightened to do anything from this 'evil' God Erit as his sinister smile kept getting bigger since he was going to eliminate this Irregular Hero before he learns about the truth about him and his plans.

"I want you to go and eliminate the Irregular Hero Hajime Nagumo," God Erit told Sakura with a firm voice and his expression is smooth because he was going to get rid of the Irregular Hero.
