Chapter 16: Shocking Turn of Events.
(Celia’s POV)
Soon, the first part of the game came to an end, and the next part was about to begin. This part was over, and I also recruited any more women that showed up here in this temp rest dimension.
Besides Xena, no one else joined as a full member. I didn’t blame them, either. Rather than just trust me, a random woman that they do not know, those women much preferred absolute safety in going to that universe, not wanting to risk it with me.
Lia: “What happens in the next part of the game?” She asked with a curious tone.
Nia: “Maralia and Midas refused to leak anything to us, so we do not know.” She replied with a shrug.
Celia: “I just hope that it won’t be anything too bad.” I say with a sigh.
They could leak the information to us, but they wanted me to win this game as legitimately as possible. They both told me that, regardless of how cheaty I get, me being seen as a real and true winner of the game is their main priority.

Faith: “Celia, resident illegal game knowledge, here!” She said, urging me to ask her the same question as Lia just asked.
Celia: “Illegal? I thought that it was a loophole!” I exclaim in shock.
Faith: “It is technically illegal, but also not illegal. It is a limbo kinda thing, you see.” She clarified.
Celia: “Ah…” I reply with a deadpan tone.
Faith: “Anyway, in the next game, guild members will be split up and sent to different dimensions.” She explained without being asked to do so.
Celia: “What?… But… I just found Nia and Lia…” I say with a sad tone.
Faith: “You will still be able to talk with them through the System Guild Chat, don’t worry!” She said in reply to coax me.
Celia: “…”
Faith: “Not to mention, but the first part was the culling the players part of the game. In the next, you will go against a few people that aren’t part of a guild, or those who are part of a guild.” She continued.
Celia: “Isn’t this still culling the numbers? I fail to see how this part is any different…” I reply with a raised eyebrow.
Faith: “It is different! In this part, the number of players per dimension… is just 100 people! And once you kill them all, or recruit them all, then you just get teleported out of that dimension, and into a new rest dimension.” She quickly explained.
Celia: “I see… That would be new, I guess… But…” My words were cut off.
Chirp!
In the next moment, as I was speaking to Faith in my head, my world shifted completely. My wives weren’t there, and I wasn’t in that estate at all. Instead, I was now, clearly, in a different dimension. Hey, a warning beforehand would be nice, you know?
Faith: “Oh, the second part of the game already started, huh? Well, do have fun, Celia! For your wives and daughters, I will ensure to convince you to not gain any more of either group!” She said with a dominant tone.
Celia: “>A<.”
