In a garage, there was a girl dressed in a worker's outfit. She had dark skin, blonde hair, and she was also about 165cm tall.
Her appearance was not inferior to other men, as she also had muscles.
That's right, it was Ratia.
She held a wrench and a toolbox in her hands, while examining the motorbikes inside the garage.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Suddenly, her phone rang. Ratia frowned, she opened her phone, and saw a name that made her both surprised and happy.
"Sherwin? He... he called me..." Ratia took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
In fact, Ratia was Sherwin's best friend, however, she always wanted to cross that line.
But… after graduating from high school, Sherwin moved to another city, and Ratia also pursued a different path.
Their fate was like two parallel lines that would never meet.
Ratia took a deep breath, then accepted the call.
"Hello, Sherwin?"
"Heh?!"
…
The surroundings changed again, at this time, Ratia wearing a black suit went to the crematorium.
There were only two people in this place, a rather fat man and a priest.
Ratia upon seeing the man felt a bit odd, but she didn't care.
What she cared about was that Sherwin and Eleen didn't seem to have any friends at all.
After the priest finished praying, the fat man also noticed Ratia's existence.
He approached her and asked, "Are you…"
Ratia glanced at Arik and said: "I am Ratia, you are the one who contacted me, right?"
Arik felt a little embarrassed, he nodded slightly: "Yes."
"I want to know all the facts. How did Eleen and Sherwin both die? Please tell me." Ratia said, her eyes were a little wet but she still tried to hold back her tears.
Arik sighed, he didn't know what to say. In the end, he decided to tell her everything, of course, he hid the fact that he was the one who planned to give Eleen to Lathel.
When Ratia heard this, she couldn't help but cry. Finally, Arik gave Ratia a letter and said: "This is Sherwin's will, I never opened it. I think… you're the one who needs to see it."
After saying that, Arik left. He was afraid that in the letter that Sherwin left behind he would disclose the whole truth and implicate him.
Was Arik afraid that the will would draw the police's attention to him?
The answer was no.
When Sherwin and Eleen were alive, the law couldn't aid them. And now that they are dead, they cannot do it with just a will.
Ratia sat in a corner, opened Sherwin's will and began reading.
Inside there was not too much information, nor was it mentioned why Sherwin and Eleen committed suicide.
The letter only said that Sherwin and Eleen were forced to die by the darkness of this world.
They hoped that after they died, and if there was a next life, they would not come to this world again.
Besides, they just hoped that the remaining money was enough for the person who discovered their body to cremate them and scatter the remaining ashes in a secluded place.
As Ratia read this she cried, she felt like what Eleen and Sherwin went through was not as simple as what this will said.
Ratia sat next to Sherwin and Eleen's coffins for a long time, then the staff came to take the coffins into the crematorium.
Ratia naturally did what Sherwin said in his will, she scattered their ashes into the sea, and let them fly freely in the wind.
Ratia stood at the beach, and looked at the distance while the wind blew her hair disorderly.
As she looked into the distance, she remembered the words Sherwin once said.
"If there is an afterlife, I hope that I will not return to earth again."
Although Ratia had heard from Arik about what Eleen had encountered, she did not know what ultimately happened to Sherwin that caused him to commit suicide along with Eleen.
Perhaps... What Sherwin faced was also extremely terrible.
Raita continued looking into the distance, she had never faced such things before, so she did not understand the pain that Eleen and Sherwin felt.
Finally, the two of them had ended their lives. However, no one cared about them.
The world continues to operate, and everyone else lives normally.
Ratia was the same, maybe… she was just a little sad.
…
The image stopped and then broke into pieces like glass. Then Petran and Skelegon return to reality.
At this moment, Petran sighed. Skelegon saw that and asked: "What do you think?"
Petran frowned, he said: "I want to think about it more. Even though Sherwin's fate is miserable, that doesn't mean I have an obligation to help him realize his dream."
"Skelegon, he and I are two completely different people. I also have my will and my dreams. If I fulfill his dream, then… who will fulfill my dream."
Skelegon nodded: "Sorry, maybe I was too selfish, however, I think Sherwin's dream includes yours."
"Following his dream is also fulfilling yours."
"Petran… if that's not true then after Sherwin fulfills his dream, I will help you fulfill yours."
Petran shook his head and said: "I don't think you will keep your promise. Nor do I have any grounds to believe you and Sherwin."
"Um…" Skelegon sighed: "Then… please think about it and give me an answer."
"First, however, we need to prepare for the System event. In this event, I hope you will accompany us."
Petran lowered his head to think, suddenly, the words from the past appeared in his mind.
"Petran, if you don't realize your dream, you will fall into someone else's dream."
"Petran, why are you 2nd, I gave you so much, why can't you get 1st?"
"Petran, if you're not first class, you'll just forever be an anonymous person."
"Idiot, even if you're 2nd, no one will remember you, everyone only remembers the top."
"Petran, you must fulfill my dream. My dream is your dream."
Petran shook his head, trying to forget those words.
Skelegon looked at Petran's expression and frowned, however, he said nothing more because he wanted to let Petran make his own choices.
…
In another space…
Hikaru opened his eyes, he saw himself standing in a place like a rainforest.
However, everything in this place was a bit… gigantic.
Not only were the trees a hundred meters tall, he also saw trees over 200 meters tall.
Birds whose names he did not know that had wingspans of more than 10 meters could be seen flying in the air.
In this place, Hikaru seemed to be lilliputian.
However, he felt happy because there was no fog here. That's right, this place was completely like a tropical forest, it's just... everything was a little giant.
Wait!
Hikaru looked up at the sky, where he saw that there were three moons and a sun. One of the moon's was purple, while the others were red and yellow.
"It seems… this place is a planet somewhat similar to Earth."
Hikaru muttered, he looked around, but he couldn't find Tsuraguki's and Saraya's presence.
However, before Hikaru could contact them, the voices of Saraya and Tsuraguki rang in his head.
Saraya: "Master, I am inside your body."
Tsuraguki: "That's right. Saraya and I are in a strange space. Although we don't know where this place is, she and I both feel that we are inside your body."
Hikaru felt strange hearing that. At this moment, a system information panel appeared in front of him.
[Ding! Event content:
1. Players can bring 2 monsters/heroes they have summoned to this event. Those monsters/heroes are placed inside the summoning space.
Just use your thoughts to summon monsters/heroes from the summoning space.
However, players can only use this function 3 times. After 3 times, the monsters/heroes the player carries cannot enter the summoning space.
2. There are no other rules. Players can use any means to destroy other players.
3. The playing area will slowly narrow, a map will be provided to the players.
4. The reward for being a winner is random.
5. The loser's punishment will depend on the time he was defeated. The sooner you are defeated, the greater the punishment.
6. The surrounding space will continuously shrink due to the Fire Storm. Any player in the firestorm area will be continuously burned to death.
7. Good luck to the players.]
Seeing the notice board, Hikaru felt nothing important. After all, he already knew that this event would be like a 'battle royal'.
Bring a large number of players into a world, let them fight until the last person left alive.
However, to prevent players from banding together and using peaceful methods to delay the event, the system added an element of Firestorm.
Overall, this event was really a Battle Royal. And there must be a final winner.
Hikaru shook his head, no matter how the event worked, he had to win.
However, given his strength and that of Tsuraguki and Saraya, if he couldn't win this event then he really was an idiot.
Hikaru did not rush to summon Saraya and Tsuraguki, he used the 'map' function of the system.
An electronic screen appeared in front of him, showing his location and a map of the entire world.
In the upper right corner there was a small text.
[The firestorm will start in 24 hours. The safe area will be displayed after 12 hours.]
Hikaru discovered that where he was standing was a small island located about 5,000 kilometers from the mainland.
"It seems that this world is much larger than earth." Hikaru thought to himself. Because the information on the map showed that this island was more than 5,000 kilometers from the mainland.
But in reality, Hikaru saw on the map that this island was only a small distance from the continent.
Suddenly, Hikaru felt someone behind him.
