COI C237
Evening comes when the sun goes down. The classic hours when they approach into the city. Citizens as them, with higher boldness and recklessness. Coming out of nowhere as they hide themselves in different clothes to differ from the ordinary. Motives are going through the streets looking for the people they want to cause trouble. A reunion of the past enemies coming together to rebuild after what they have lost. The day when the city barrier fell. The gangs, troublemakers, and creeps are here. One of the gang leaders walk to the ruins in a dark expression. His apartment building fell to ruins leaving him devastated.
The gang members said to him
“It was kind of refreshing to get rid ourselves from those scraypers”
“Our base though, it went to shit”
“It is our shit. Don’t you forget about it”
“Where’s the Devilishly Rats? They are supposed to be the ring leaders in Mihayara district”
The female gang member recommends her gang members “We are from the organization, right? Why not we should be the one taking over this district?”
The gang leader scuffs it as a joke “Laughs* How many times did we tried that? The police pick us out whenever we are out in the open”
“You think that gang and the police are working together”
The female gang shouts at him “DID THEY?! What about those perverted thieves?”
The oblivious gang member didn’t know about the crime in Mihayara district. Most crimes had happened before the siege are mostly underwear and fetish like clothes, sadly their working attires are also in it. The man is hinting himself to know about it. Others just smile and the women surround him with hateful comments. The noise goes on as one of the perpetrators heard the commotion and slowly backs away.
The gang members spotted the stranger’s behavior. They almost set out to get him, but the gang leader stopped them
“Hey boss, what gives?”
“Was it easy for you guys to forget what they said to us earlier?”
“Yeah, look for someone strange and take care of it”
“You don’t know what that even mean”
“We know, it’s beaten the hell of that bastard”
The female gang members joined in with a loud “YEAH!”
The gang leader uses his leader’s power to suppress them from using their abilities. They all complained
“What the hell?”
“Listen to me here. We’re . . .”
The man sees one of them is eyeing on him. The small glance made him freak out and quickly leaves. He pulls out his device and sends his message in the forums. Warning people like him as the gang members are coming. Showing pics as proof, the rumored post about them coming back made them leave as soon as possible. Their plan was almost foiled until someone in the comments persuade them. The meeting they have is very important to them and other impatient attendees are so excited to go there. Others start to think twice, but soon they were convinced by a noteworthy news from their newsfeed.
Yayoi’s gift. Their eyes see the tools and how it works. The images show other beautiful women ready to be made by using this gift. They were completely tempted by it and ready to enter the realm. Many sneaks and almost got exposed from their entry, but thanks to the others, they were saved and hid well before anyone could ever see them. Everybody has gathered, a special meeting to whom who wished to obtain this gift and the samples to be brought in front of them. Inside this realm, it is where all the people are in the list. Altogether, gathered in one place, has a common goal in mind. The perverts and the harassers are here.
A fat man on stage finally sees so many people gathered around to this special gift. Yayoi’s gift had been giving sneaky little peaks to everyone who dared to search in the web. Tainted of his names as shared with his double, willing to challenge the organization’s lackey as his own identity, and rightly so. For he is the residence in Fuku City. Many perverts and harassers, and bravely stood to meet this man and his offers. The samples come along with degeneracy and delusions. The samples are women in forms originated by used clothing.
The model is from a known idol. Identically match from what they saw in many events. The figure is none other than
“Cecilla Brightstage?”
They look shocked as they bring out their device and watch the real one on stream. This hour where she should be in her live broadcast, and this replica is here right in front of them. They sensed her aura matching the same cheerfulness she did on stage. Where more of the idols stepped on stage playfully around with the fat man. Their routine matches like previous performance but adding him like they give him a seductive look.
From their beauty down to their expressions and behaviors. The people stood there in shock and at the same time watching the live stream. There is no telling to be different here and there. Their jealousy grow as they speak out to the mad man.
“How in the world did you made actual copies?”
The replicated Cecila answers him “Wow! I heard someone being a bad fan. Take a look and see how we get this stage running”
The lively voice, that the idols are portraying is definitely the same characters as they do on stage. The fat man at the center keeps smiling as he claps how Cecila presents herself.
The idols use their magic to perform their introduction. All of them are sure heard them sing, but never imagined they improvised to make it look different the recorded ones. It’s actually them. Comparing between the live stream and here, they tried to break the delusion by follow what the audience are doing in the live stream. The stern idol shows off herself being distasteful and looks away
“Hmph, like you would ever cheer me that low”
Then compared to the clone. One of them is forced to reenact. Then it went déjà vu.
The fat man slowly steps aside from the stage as many tried to break the idols’ characters. Cheering and booing to keep everything into chaos. It was really sound like an angry mob to the replicas until one of the replicas stood at the hateful crowd. Cecila turns off the lights and the spotlights aimed at her at the center. The perverts and the harassers remembered this event. Back when the haters booing at their opposing idols back-to-back. Cecila did the unimaginable and stop the event with an angry tone.
The replica Cecila shouts at them “You guys are worse than the battle of the team stars at the start of the summer festival. It was meant for fun and away from the horrible life. I almost lost to the bet with that nosy goblin who pestered everyone. Please! If you guys are not going to make this concert any better. LEAVE!”
Sound waves blast through them giving them the time out whether they are going to behave or not. This is the magic ability she uses on the audience, but it didn’t work with the goblin, Sork. It is hard to believe but they quickly accepted it as the time out is finished.
“Good!” Cecila says it with strict voice.
They start focusing on the fat man, below the stage where he places his hand on it and disappears without a trace. All of them witness the performance and what they saw is too good to be true. The fat man sees their faces, poker faces, but he knows they are excited to know about these girls.
“Ehem* Our meeting has some nice introduction . . .” He reappears overconfidently
They tried to reach him out with questions, but the others stop them and let him speak. The fat man sees them behaving well, making it more of his self esteem grew.
“. . . I seemed you people caught my attention. Great, let’s discuss about this”
They stayed silent and they are serious want to know to get a hand of it. Replicas like that with their own magic is hard to make it work. The fat man brought the girls here know well that the people here are scums. The replicas didn’t show any disgust. They look at them as if they are fans. The twisted mind set of how the idols looking them normally is making them want something change about them. Their eyes are not genuine but filled with desires they wished they have in the most depraved way possible.
The city is filled with the brim of countless people who had this kind of fantasy. This kind of group of people are the worse, and this fat man shows interest among them. He had his taste of the degenerate content, but he never believed these types of people existed, until they possessed magic powers. Along with their suits and accessories possessed powerful runes, and more while hidden in their own personal spirits as pets. A lot of women are wanting them gone, and if these people are willing to risk their lives to be creeps as they are. Why not earn a little before they leave?
“Like I was saying, we all have our own interest to get some nice treasures to feel or grab. Right?”
The fat man says it as they slowly moving towards him. They are slowly losing interest of listening with his annoying voice. He quickly reacts and said
“I am from Fuku City, you piece of shits!”
Most of them jolted forward, but soon flashes from the light and froze in place. They recognized this spell.
“No way, are you really Flashes?”
Flashes was a bit scared. He knows what he is going into, but never would they suddenly change their mood for the moment like this.
He needs to be careful or they think taking his stuff would be enough to get those models. This will be hard getting into business. Stubbornly, he spits out to the people who tried to attack him.
“You assholes! I have offered you the best things that my district has to offer”
Finally, one of them shouts back “Or we will just suppress you and be our bitch then”
Flashes backs away “What the fuck?!”
All of them know what they are saying and they never seem to scare away such a threat against the man who actually don’t know these parts of Mihayara district.
The dark side of Mihayara district, the people who have distinct taste and preferences nearly close to fiction. Many of them were portrayed as criminals to society. Ironically, they are also the most consumed products of adult rated videos. The genre was obvious that no one will ever express it to the public. It was business to make such product and they consumed it without proper context nor meaning of the video. All of them are just flatted out porn, it won’t harm anyone. Magic flows through their mind to make into reality, the limits are the powers and their imagination is simple at best.
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
To appease them with those similar concepts are now unsatisfiable since the days they are here. The chances of getting caught are getting lower, the people they shared their interest are getting stronger, their twisted experience to reenact those interesting product they consumed have been sweeter in given time, but it all went stale without a realistic experience. They have become confident, reckless, and the brink of taking a risk. The auras around them have already spread so much dangerous energy around them. They are becoming more dangerous than like those low lives in Fuku City.
At this moment, the gadgets suddenly breaks and they swarm in. Flashes knocks to the ground. They step on him one after the other in lightning speed bullet to each of his limbs. The pain numbs as Flashes tried to block the damage. His mouth was shut to their shoes. “Shut it, fat ass. It won’t take long”
Flashes feels his UI is being hacked. The inventory has been breached as the UI didn’t activate its defenses. They immediately take it out as fast as they could. Then shows off to the others from the back. Disappointed, they only see are pieces of paper.
“LOL, you think I am a dumb fuck”
“What’s up bitches?”
“Kiss my fucking ass”
They pulled and ganged up on him. Flashes continues the pressure “What?! You don’t get what you wanted by force you know”
It wasn’t that long as they revealed their new powers. Hidden away in a special RAP system, the requirements to use this action point are astronomical. They found a secret ability that would bypass everyone’s defenses. It won’t hurt anyone, but they will give severe harm to their victim’s personal insecurities. Flashes see them pull out something very precious of on him, a memory he tries to hide.
His secrets are in full display for them to see. Flashes tried to stop them, but his resistance strengthen them to push him back down. They look at his past and laughs at him for his secret.
“Laughs* A shut-in who couldn’t do anything. You’re left into the street, you sick fuck”
“Your family is so disappointed in you. You have older siblings who are more successful than you”
“This businessman tried to win us with this but you couldn’t get your life any better . . .”
“. . . What? There is more?”
Flashes sees he never thought they could find it. Their powers are unbelievably strong. The illusion shows to them was all a lie to protect him from their ability. A fake memory, but they reveal a common life struggle story. But would they believe it? The illusion shows a woman. A beautiful woman who is offering him something. On her hand is a special object blurred into the mist. The woman says her name
“I am Yayoi, please take care of me giggle*”
The laughter spoof everyone for some reason. They look at him as the voice keeps creeping into them.
“What was that? My powers feel so weak”
“How did you know we have this ability?”
“Tell us or we will show you worse . . .”
Their intentions show hostility right in front of him. This is getting worse with every action he takes. The laughter continues inside his head. Yayoi reaches to him
“How did you perfectly match my voice?”
“Augh! I am getting beat up here. I really need your help”
“Then let me read your mind, again”
“No!”
“Ah, you are busy using what I failed. Ok, let’s make it better”
The idols returned and appeared behind them. They wait as they keep focusing on Flashes. The replica Cecila snaps her finger to send their message in their UI. They didn’t respond. The other girls went innocently leans their head how it didn’t work. While the replicas’ powers are growing, they speculate why they didn’t receive their message. Then they turn to Flashes, she snaps again. His notification pops out
“Look behind you. You silly goose”
Everyone turns around, and sees the replica idols showing a pose and unleashed their fused magic.
A magic nova shines on them and spread its wave of light toward them. They reacted and used their runes to negate it. Into the fog of fire, each in everyone of them getting beat down by the replicas as the replicas’ bodies blend into the nova’s fire. Quickly ending them without a single notice. All of their abilities, stats, magic, and RAPs are useless by the unpredictable magic. They feel the fire and keeps pushing away all of their magic and the runes being used. The replicas pressed forward as their enemies fell to their knees engulfed by the nova’s fire.
Flashes was too engulfed by it, letting his UI trembled with high alert dangers in his condition.
“Warning! Demon presence is in the vicinity”
Reading it, they didn’t seem to respond who is the threat is, they believed it was him and his replicas. As the bright light flashes both heat and pressure, he can only hear them
“. . . We know who you are now, you better ready your ass and we will be coming for you”
Then the realms went full pure light. They only hear the sounds of fire and strong wind pressurizing the realm. It continues on as no one will able to see nor hear.
“AAH! And I thought they are my people. Fuck those rapists” The Perb rubs his eyes and sees Ironno is looking at him.
He smirks at him and said “Like you stop me from raping those bastards, right?”
Ironno looks down and focusing his spell
“. . . I thought so, you guys are giving me such hard to fuck. I am starting to like you guys back in Fuku City honestly. It was a nice reward”
The Perb is letting loose his mouth how he is witnessing through the woman’s classified documents. It is getting worse as those people on the list showing criminal records. What’s worst of it all, the list wasn’t enough.
What the Perb is seeing is the reason why they have to do their business again. Either kill them or do whatever the Perb pleases with his new scores. Those people are not weak as they seem to be. They are far worse than normal harassers. Their RAPs have some kind of new abilities that he himself didn’t have. He shakes his head as the disappointment of Flashes how is doing the introduction.
“A child failure, I don’t buy it. It wasn’t that realistic from what I’m seeing. A loser must act as a loser, he seems to change horribly ugly if he is doing business with the degenerates. Sad, the last part when there is a woman came out and the footage was lost”
The Perb starts to think about the lies the man did. The bastards are prepared, well prepared when he added because of how he knows where they supposed to go. A group like that shouldn’t be that easy to follow unless he was part in it.
He shakes his head “Hey, Ironno. Do you think that guy being on the list?”
“What’s his name”
“Flashes”
“. . . hmm, no. There is no name in my magic circles. He is probably a guy knows about them”
“Hardly, what I saw on the video was him quickly getting gang rape as soon as he tried to talk to them”
The Perb shows him the video, all that happened until the last scene showing a woman who gave to him a mist.
“It is strange, but he is no target that’s for sure. What? You want to get him too”
“Fuck no, his ass is too big”
The Perb looks away in disgust of how he himself, a fat ugly bastard, is fucking the same as him. There is no adult video of it, if there are, then it quickly be forgotten to the common adult websites in the dark web. His device rings, he picks it up and the message about the target is already on the loose. This quest shows how dangerous it is, and more fun for him if they succeeded. If this is not anyone going hard with those psychos, then he will be the only one enjoying the meals.
Somewhere among the building complex, a woman had finished her day job. Tired and wanting to go back to her apartment. Annoyed of herself not using magic to teleport back home, because of the incident had made her to be cautious. She felt traumatized to see someone entering her teleportation before it almost closed up. Thanks to her fast reaction to seal it before someone gets in made her feel relief that she has magic to defend herself. Soon, time goes by as her magic is no longer maintaining her strength. All of her RAPs are used as luxurious commodities to enjoy the city life. While her stalker is getting stronger bypassing her defenses and elusive. She needs help.
The woman tried to report who is the perpetrator was but they have no clue who is following her. It shows her teleportation magic was corrupted by spiritual interference, and this interference is not belonged to the goblins. This spirit is feral and controlled by someone. Making it harder to trace as the mark of the feral spirit consumed its chain whenever someone captured it. Time passes and it gets worse, she felt unsafe by the time she uses her magic. The last time she uses her spell, she appears in a different area besides inside her apartment. She got scared and used her runes to reset her back when she uses her spell.
The hard-working woman felt so frightened and tried to call anyone for help in social media. The only response she received are the good news of a returning internet trend.
“The hitmen are back. The Enders’ Hitmen”
She heard about them, but only news they show themselves are at Fuku City. After a few research, they were once in a security business to help the women from any intruders coming into their homes. Her mind flashes back when a friend of hers gives her a security system and said it was made by them. Now they have become hitmen.
She continues reading and found out, they were hired to get rid of them entirely. But many are skeptics and don’t believe it because they should’ve been the same guys who install the security. Not once their securities were being breached. If there is, the marked will appear on the intruder and will be hunted down if anyone sees it. But these are speculation and there was no issue someone get caught after the breach, because there is none. The woman is biting her own nail and prayed that the hitmen come back for real. Imprisoning her stalker is no longer the solution from these mass power ups.
At the door, she made it into her apartment. The door closes as soon as it was opened. The woman felt relief and lies back to the door. Didn’t drawn to get into her room where her hand busy blocking her view with her device. In the security, there he is. The threat of her life as the security still holds since after months of its installment.
“Thank goodness, you were there for me. I will treat you someday after this creep is gone . . . What?!!”
The stranger picks out a lock pick then he disappeared.
A passerby comes to the hallway. After they passed by, the stranger reappeared. The shock to her eyes as this is must be what the rumors talk about in the site. The stranger looks at the camera and the screen blurred as he vanished. The woman starts to panic and used the Enders’ security. There is no way that the stranger disappeared by looking at the camera. She checks on the security and shows the man is still there. Something is glowing at his hands as she quickly looking at the manual. After a few pages reading at the table of content, she founds colored glow definition.
“. . . Warning, if anything that glows or blinks in different colors. It is indicated of a dangerous weapon . . .”
She checks again and found out there is also an outline, and she continues to read more.
“. . . Come on, I know this creep would never kill me. There! “Whenever the tools are being infiltrated, please activate code word ‘1 st breached’” What does it mean?”
The door knobs start to turn. She moves back at the door and sees the knob is turned slightly. The Enders security staged its defenses. The sudden lock input when the door knob turns hold him from getting it to open.
The woman tries to use her spell. Her door can be phased through with her magic. This is what she had planned all around her apartment. Her magic is ready as the stranger persists. One simple magic missile and it shoots through her door. The stranger slaps it away like it was nothing.
“. . . They are getting stronger, and we didn’t do much except living our daily life. So, be careful . . .” It quoted from what she read before.
She mumbles herself as fear piling inside her head. The door knob turns half, then it quickly turns open. The security persists as the door shuts back in.
“Aah!” Her heart starts racing.
The room starts to change as she senses no escape from this. The realm is forming inside her apartment. But her apartment wasn’t consumed, she uses her identify to understand how. She soon realized how this man is dared use as much of his magic to get her. The entire floor surrounding her apartment was transported into his realm. The man finally opens the door and jumps on her. The security freezes him in a nick of time. The woman sees her stalker for the first time, yet hidden his face and his body disguised in illusion.
She tries to beat the crap of him. From magic to weapons, it was pointless. She sees his runes are well equipped and strong. Her powers weren’t enough and felt lost. She grew angry as she no longer defended herself. The news about them is true. She said to the stalker
“I wish you die. FIRST BREACHED”
The room starts to move again and man jumps to her. She ducks down and turns around. Then she sees the stranger is gone except another one is here. A man with a pickaxe appeared and walked pass her then to the door, checking the security.
The realm quickly disappears and there are people at the door calling out to her.
“Ma’am! Are you alright?”
“Oh”
She looks at the man who checks the security. Its holographic figure phases through them as it was a decoy. She calms down as the others are calling for help. She checks her device and sees a message from the hitmen.
“Your target is in progress please wait”
The terrified face turned to anger, and with a smile of her face to see that the next icon shows what happened to her stalker. Never in her life, she feels happy to wait someone to suffer. After what he did, she wants to know how they can do to please her grief.
The Perb was mixed, but never expect something like this to be this easy. Ironno’s magic circle didn’t open the way for this target to come here. More so, this man so happened to be here from interfering the security to one of their clients. Easy to feel his hands on his target lying unconscious, there is no sense of soft touch anywhere around the man’s body. Daringly though, trying to do it as the man sleeps. The Perb is trembling to try what he learned from the dark internet.
The stalker finally wakes up and he reveals himself as his body glows abnormally. The sounds of his body move as machine parts made an ominous sound. The saferoom reacts from the intruder’s inhuman form from its disguise. Revealing that this stalker is an actual robot. Ironno steps forward during the moment before the fight starts. The robot’s head fell to the ground with a pickaxe sticking with it. It tries to fight back, but the pickaxe casts down its rune further to neutralize it. Both of them don’t know how to analyzed a machine like this, especially it cleverly designed with archscience basic techs.
The Perb wants to know “Is your partner of yours ever to come help us in this?”
“Focus, you’ll have your rewards”
“You’re making it sound like it is going to be this easy. Look at this, our targets are getting more advance than we have thought”
“They all are. How about you? Is your hard work dried up because of the isolation?”
The Perb didn’t respond and stays quiet. Now Ironno mentions it, he does have been slacking off lately. The robot though, it is new but an Enders able to take it down. It means it wasn’t powerful at all.
Ironno continues to break the robot apart, showing the components and parts from within. The Perb’s UI identifies it, but requires RAPs to study in full details. He quickly changes his points and to get to know about this robot. From hundred points to leading to a thousand, it was not enough for him to get good details about it. Ironno picks a powerful rune stone and places it on the robot. It tries to bypass its defenses, but it wasn’t enough to crack through. Meanwhile, it was enough for the Perb’s RAPs to identify it.
“Even with this rune, I have no idea how to use it”
“It’s fine, I think I can identify it. Well, well, I guess the security in this robot is really needed to keep it safe”
“Sigh* If you want to waste a few minutes on it. I’ll be readying the magic circle”
“Don’t be rude, I want this job to get over with. I really need to get this urge off my . . .”
The Perb watches him walks away. He shakes his head and begins to read the details. There he finds out more than just stalking that woman. A truth behind why this woman is being stalked.
The details got deleted as he doesn’t want to know more. He feels the aches on his lower body. The degenerate taste distracts him to know what that woman wants. It was obvious to get rid of him. This will make him regret someday. Surprisingly, he just doesn’t care. The excitement creeps into his head as his body is getting all excited. He can sense the men are close, more than he could have ever sense it. He checks on Ironno and sees the magic circle is working.
“There, go there and be useful . . .!?”
Ironno sees the Perb’s excitement rushes toward the circle. He vanished before Ironno tried to stop him. The magic circles disappear and all it connected to the targets are already collected into one. The robot lies wait as its head start beeping on its eyes. Ironno notices and uses his magic scroll on the robot’s entire body. Melted into the paper in piece by piece, stopping it from sending transmission to the source. Later a hard drive opens from its mainframe. He keeps it to himself as this would be a fine help in the near future.
