"Phew! I thought I wouldn't have my moment but! Mwahahahaha! I am here to report my--- eh? I was suppose to say it at the end of the chapter? Hweeeee!? I'm sorry I made a huge blunder!"
Author's Notes: I actually wanted to post this much earlier but well... Here you go the conclusion of [Arkandia Arc]
------------------------------------'--------------------------------------------------------
What a beautiful evening... You wouldn't be able to see such dazzling things in the night sky on a city filled with lights... Thousands, no... Millions of stars aligned making a natural light in the evening sky. Even though it's a game it's still quite a scenery...
I fail to notice that the city light have dissipated little by little and people are gathering near the giant samurai tree... Before I knew it people are already sitting and softly whispering to each other and some looking at the same scenery I was looking at... voices of admiration came from those who appreciated the hard work the producers have put in making this game.
[Eh.. Ehmm... Grnn... Hello? Can anyone hear me? I am the executive producer and managing director of this game... My name is Roger Wilford and I am here to thank you for your time playing the Alpha Version where only one city is provided... We are sorry to say that some of you was not cut out to be our beta testers and so in this next month those who have failed and those who passed can play the game with their machines online though after we release the version for the beta testers the online services for the game will be shutdown and you will no longer be able to play the game until it's appointed release date scheduled to be in the next 2 years...]
Roger Wilford, Shin Gaming Corporation's executive producer and managing director. He's only 23 when he started the project and after 7 years he had finally able to make it playable for players... An outstanding person. I heard he also programmed some of the game's features...
[So! Finally we are at the end of a long day! Well it might have been three days to you but it's only a day that has passed outside... I thank you all for your cooperation!]
Cheers came from the players and some cried... You can still play the game though? Why cry? On the cheers and laughter of players came a particular sound...
Kiissh... Xiii... Ziii... Kiiiaaa...
The static sound rang so loudly in everyone's ears... That some actually covered their ears...
"Ahh! What the heck!"
"Stop!"
"Waaah!"
"My ear it hurts!"
"What's wrong with the system?"
"It's like when my teachers makes a screeching sound with a chalk board!"
(A/N: Should've put this in monologue form but... Meh... Works either way...)
What the hell! The sound is unbearable... Gotta log out...
As I was about to push it the menu disappears and the static clears up... Then a voice was once again heard...
[Ahh! Eh! Hmm... So! Ugh... You Arkadic People... Are privileged to hear my sweet voice... Yes?]
Voice of a woman on her mid forties could be heard... It was a sweet sounding voice but her tongue is quite nasty... She seemed disgusted by our presence but kept on speaking anyway...
[So this is the Human of the Arkadic World... They are strangely alike ours... Oh that's right they were in our land after all...]
A voice of a man in his fifties followed by the way he is speaking he doesn't look at us like humans more like subjects of experimentation
[Hanoi, you should already speak your business with them already look at their confused faces...]
I don't know who Hanoi was but I guess it was the woman from earlier... This time a child's voice from the looks of it is ranging from 10-14 years of age and is quite impatient.
[Stop this at once! You filthy Deities!]
This time another one spoke in an angry tune... It was a woman from her voice it's in her twenties.
[Shut up, Leonia! You failure of a god! We are also doing it for you! Manipulating that human to create a summoning tool is quite easy... Now you will also be able to summon one from the Ylka race... Your followers...]
Once again the woman from earlier shouted at the one who is called Leonia... She was saying about a Summoning tool? and also Ylka... My race? Gods? What the? Everyone was dumbstruck at the voices' and couldn't talk... Some shivered though I wondered why I no longer dug in deep and kept on making the menu to reappear but to no avail...
"What the hell?"
"Summoning tool?"
Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.
"Is this some shit made by the creators?"
"Are we filming for the trailer for the official release?"
"Eh?"
"Hahahaha!"
"Wooo! Good job Producers!"
Guess most of this people are optimistic...
[Shut up! Mortals! We are here to gather souls actually... This "Game" is actually created as a tool for taking souls... Then reconstructing them to be a being in our realm... This "Game" is but a depiction of that other world, you see! Haha! Since your world is overly populated unlike ours, that is being more and more lessened due to war. We decided to gather up some souls from this place to replenish our toys...]
Toys? What the hell is going on... Now I feel scared as she spoke words that wouldn't be normal to say to other people.
[Hanoi! You shitty hag! Once I get out of this cage I'm gonna fucking kill you!]
[Oh, Leonia... What an ungrateful girl... We made this so you can replenish your race and well... You can play god again!]
[Raaaghh! You killed and enslaved them! All of my people! I was locked in this cage, that's why they didn't believe in me anymore! I will kill you! You will die!]
[Or so I've heard! But as you see... I'm quite alive...]
"Shit... Don't tell me that this isn't a program..."
The next thing I heard sent shivers down my spine... I couldn't make the menu appear and the HUD on my vision were no longer there...
[And so I ask my question... If the "Game" became "Reality"... What would you do?]
"It's impossible!"
One shouted at the voice...
"Such a thing is impossible..."
[Oh! But I can do it... Oh, I meant we can... and now you shall be harvested and reproduced... I know some of you want to die anyway... It is such a cruel world after all... Living in our realm my be a much better choice than to stay in this one... Now... I'm sorry to cut our little banter, Mortals... But we need to make our time...]
I certainly saw it... Thousands of bright lights appeared in the night sky. However, they were not stars... I get a searing pain in my abdomen. What is this? A Lance? Then waves of flashing lights drew closer and closer... All of it heading to our direction. I could only close my eyes as the lights flickered. I felt a sudden heat from my upper chest I opened my eyes once again and saw the lance of light was gone... Then as I touched my chest I couldn't touch it... No... It was gone... My left chest had a hole tore through it... At the last seconds of my consciousness... I could only see a figure... With a smile on its face as it spoke...
"With this... Our toys would have been replenished..."
My eyes heavy and my breathing slowed down... I could no longer hold on... I closed my eyes as I remembered... "I should have logged out earlier..."

Nikki's Log Record
Eh... Ah... How do you open this... Ah! It's already recording!
Henya! Log Reader Nikki desu~
Many things happened on Log 1, eh? Hmm... I still can't find the others though... I'm sorry I'm a bit of a procrastinator so cleaning up the library and looking up this Logs is quite hard... Master would surely be mad once she knew that I'm just sitting here reading...
So... Ryo's Logs, eh? Though he wrote it, it kind of feels like another person wrote it... Maybe he's just that bad at writing his stories eh... Well there is no basis if what happened in this Log is really true though master says it's true I don't believe her... Saying she went with Ryo on his journey and stuff...
But seriously... Master's a cheap liar she could have lied much better for me to believe that this is an actual log that covers true events...
"I heard that!"
Eh? M, master? W, what are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be shopping right now?
"Yeah, I was but I forgot something... So you weren't cleaning the library huh... and you're also calling me a liar..."
Hii! Please don't spank me! Please anything but the spanking!!!!
"Lie down and raise your Butt!!! Now!!!"
Hiiiiii!!!!
