COI C158
Rumors heard across the ears of many strangers all around the city. The absurdity of such a man been called from the internet lead them into skepticism. The social media never reveal the private group chats, the words got out from a few trolls spreading the leaks across the website. Thanks to the users from the main servers, they secured the leaks out of the problem. The fast internet is finally under control by the Fuku City’s central servers. These absolute mad groups are spreading so much mischief leaving them to follow the direct order of the cult leader.
“Test it with the updated web securities”
Random people in the internet get the topic running, where they could no longer find the leaks. They’ve seen it after a short time. It’s been only 10 minutes and everything went smoothly. The forums changed topics about the administrations are finally doing their work.
“Have anyone of you still have the leaked pictures?”
“You mean that sexy live video?”
“That’s from the stream, I doubted that it was some guy using magic to disguised like that”
(A meme where there’s a child with a confused look)
“I am traumatized now”
“Lol”
“Still that leaks went gone like (A gif of a man sparkles down with his fingers twinkling and caps ‘magic’)”
“Did someone atleast screen shot the damn hting” “thing*”
The comments went on and on as soon other people read it. The man sits inside the café in Mihayara district, as he entered a new themed restaurant. Inside where is the common BL theme, he managed to get a seat after many fan girls monopolized every seat he could find. There is no way for him to get in as he is already at late hours.
He got his things put together as he enjoys reading the romance between men. For once, this story is better than he would’ve thought. The author is an Agathean and the artist is a citizen. It was a huge hit. A message receives from his friends as what he heard about having special guild doing business with them.
“Hey Perb, or whatever you called yourself. If you still going after the boys, better delete this or they we are going involved into sex crime here lol. Back to business, the businessman had made a great deal with us with the Enders. You know, the guy who helped the artist to make a good BL story . . .”
The book he is reading is an actual blown manga. The art is good with an intense BL suspense between men. The women who had a copy couldn’t look away for a minute. The Perb looks around as they still keep their eyes on the book. It was just the first release and it is just a one shot. He chuckles a bit and continue
“. . . We have materials we need to make the project. Let’s hope we could finish this before the convention starts. I pray for our success and you, our friend, get ready for yourself. We managed to get your legitimate license, but as a foreigner. So, you could move freely beside trapped in Mihayara district”
The Perb steps out the café. He is been here for so long as that he still eyeing on the city barrier. A lot of stuff happening here, him being stay low and nothing been changed for the government to reconcile with the defectors. There was no reason too, but he sees them at Fuku City providing a special treatment to the returning people and also his enemies he made. He is not sure who is there alive and well after what he had done to their behinds. The way he looks now, fat, and still able to move as he is not reaching to obesity. He is overweight, and that’s fine for him.
The city keeps improving as he walked pass the streets, the district feels a bit little small than he had to walk around. The ruins clearly dug deep, except for the edges near Taiyou Industries, there are few buildings able to survive the siege. That phased cut buildings are still there and standing. He bet that building should be done after months of underdeveloped. It was not long until he faces Ironno. The man is standing in front of him giving his signal by tapping on his forehead. It was so long to see him before the siege. Now he is calling him over.
Without a doubt, he needs his help. The fatass was called for as he followed him through the building. The building he entered is ordinary. The place is nothing but vending machines where people buy some souvenirs. It is now filled with Horsin people to get some cheap merchandise. After they moved passed it, there is a special lone shop at the end of the hall. There he was. The man he first met. Haw sittings on the seats as he plays his hands tapping his forehead. The Perb never realize where he is going into, but this means something is really important.
The Perb couldn’t handle the silent “Ok, what do you want from me?”
Haw replies “A certain group of people is taken a fight against the people from Fuku City. Not much the people who met at the east coast. A crazier approach”
Haw shows him a magic item where Azin is hiding inside Ironno’s saferooms. The people who are chasing him are indeed from Fuku City. They are no defectors, but possessing some hidden items. He continues to explain
“We want you to become one of the options to the endeavor. I don’t what will you do to them, but the main objective is to hide this man’s powers”
It’s been a long time, but the Perb had already have a connection. The reality he is been through won’t be messing these guys right in front of him. With the correct equipment, these two will easily beating them down. There are always chances he could do anything to these guys, explicitly. Yet, that’s enough enemies he had to do in his entire life. In reality though, he met them in east coast. He won’t be bothering them after what he had witness. Secondly, the dust they keep to themselves and the ways they have to do to take the citizens down are torturous. Even the citizens have resistance, they will drag to the point of insanity.
Ironno takes him in a convincing matter. “I have seen your activities before. The reason we want you with us is the common enemy. Not because of your kind, it is from ours”
The Perb tilted upright from his seat. To hear something an enemy that is not even a citizen, how did he know? He keeps his cool “Hmm, can you show me who is this person I am interest with?”
“Show you? What about this sound?”
He places the scroll on the table, the scroll is burnt leaving soft tones. The Perb hears it so familiar to his ears. It is depressing to forgot about it. Yet he didn’t regret it, but he moved on. The thought to hear that again made him want to see.
Later in that same night, Azin cornered himself as they hound through the night. How incredible to see such of them appeared more aggressively like every city’s darkest time. He chuckles quietly, inside the saferoom where he is temporary safe. He can’t be found, yet. The location he is in was recommended by Ironno himself. A miracle to the point of time, bringing to this place during the night. Tabitha is laying low under the sun with her time and words. Without him realize that he is being confident about, maybe it was the floating object on him or was it because his enemies are less skilled in persecutions.
In the shrine next to the gate down to the underground cavern, it is the place where Sanquin kept talking about. A safer domain where the sea creatures of the dark thriving down there. The feasting things of the dark visions. He would love to see the biome intact, but stops by the moment he casts his spell out from the room. The summoned creatures come out in the most hideous of things. Always have the common dark smiley expression, with bizarre bodies that reminiscence what their myths calling them youkais. Their version of demons.
Their viciousness is appalling that treated his spells nothing but food. This sight less likely a waste of magic. He casts out only little of it, they cast theirs a highly of it. These monsters of the dark, the environment formed through their magic. Creating an area to themselves, a magic field to the look of it. What’s more intriguing to see it all, his pursuers are not here. Lazy bunch, but they possessed items that brought it here with an affective spell. Azin should’ve brought dusts to fight them against these lone spells, and yet he didn’t dare. He must play his part to drive out the impatient and the unskilled here, to spread the horror with his own skills.
Random demonic beasts flew out from the air and fall to the ground. The assaults are coming against them, his enemies react and turned around to follow the direction where it thrown. Through the darkness, he lost vision. The opposing invaders didn’t cast out any spells to bring view to this place. It wasn’t important to them. The monsters drove out with every hit marked by magic. Beaten through the bruises lied down then quickly vanishes. This is no magic he recognized among Horsin, a citizen comes in at this time of the night. How is that possible? Azin waits until they reveal themselves.
The some of the beasts left mana into a fluid spilled on the floor. The chamber that descends down the cavern is being tainted on its mana spills, leaking thickly as it should be in the air as vapor. There he recognized that kind of items among Enders. Both citizen and Enders together, Ironno has that kind of connection. This is an Enders he thought about. It means this is not honest work. A man comes out from the dark with his night vision goggles, he already holding a random man to his side with only one arm. A large man to the sort, and his magic is strong as he is a defector in strength.
The man pats on the bum of the unconscious man, then it turns into a nice slap where it phases through his pants. That revolting sounds made him questions who does this. This stranger that Ironno would bring like this. The speak of his mind comes in with Ironno and Haw. The two stands by at the back glimmer themselves in silhouette, his eyes are barely could see them from this distance. Azin steps out from the saferoom and see what’s going on. Ironno says to the Perb
“So, are you going to continue like this?”
“I don’t mind it. Honestly, I feel great that I’m out from that district for so long”
Azin reaches out to them with his floating object identifies the man’s profile. The connection between him and them were astounding. It is more than just helping a questionable man, but the code was given to him by Haw. It means the poor filth had met them in the most dangerous realm. The vision shows to him that this fat man is still acting on his own nightly matters. His powers though, is bearable enough that he is a defector who still not lose his ambitions. Azin dare to say to him
“I have bad feeling about this”
“Me too, buddy. I thought that social media telling stories about you being strong, and I look at this place. They really want you gone”
Haw breaks off their conversation as he explains to Azin “This is what she asked for, but duly noted to some of us to keep her from knowing from this man. This is not a fight you are go against without taken risks. The man you see here is . . .”
“People called me a pervert, just call me Perb. I am here with a common goal in mind. Ironno here made me realize that they have something I do need. You know, I really going to need it anyway. The sound I heard before was a big change”
The Perb jiggles the unconscious man to see something what he has. The man drops an item he is looking for. This is the one he detected from Ironno’s magic scroll. A form of a keychain. He drops the man and picks it up. Protected being stolen by a magic concealment. Ironno gives him the scroll he needs to break it. The keychain shakes rapidly and then soon turned lifeless, the magic contain inside pushes out and returned back to the unconscious man. The Perb holds it firmly as he gotten his first materials.

“I’d say my first payment during the night”
Then picks up the man’s device and stole a bit of his money. Added with magic and a hacking software, he randomly taken only a bit of more than 1,000 Y from his credit.
“And a tip for this guy”
Azin looks at them that he is causing trouble. Haw sees the same thing, but the reason he done that is because that’s how he behaves. Ironno is the one who recommend it to him. It is enough of a chaos and also not interrupting their busy work. Haw has Miyusuki’s training while he is gathering offers secretly among the community in Mihayara district. They need a labor boy, this man is able to hide both identities, and now the Perb has a third.
The Perb continues “I am not going to have trouble for you, but troubles are coming to you too. I need something to gain while helping you. Those two had helped me before. Who am I kidding? I am also need of help for them”
There is nothing left to do now but to follow the risks they are making. Azin casts his magic on Haw and left this place, only the three of them gathered together as this is would be enough for them to fight. Ironno keeps with his magic scrolls while the two eyeing on each other as they are in front of the unconscious man.
The Perb asks him “By the way, what’s your name again?”
“Azin, got in trouble with troublemakers at Fuku City. You?”
“Joined unintentionally when they found me in Mihayara District. I have this here is the key materials that I need to make. So anyway, do you know why Ironno did it too? Haw, the man has too much time didn’t bother helping us. I heard much of you. Your works only done aggressively in Fuku City. You think Ironno would be a good help here?”
Ironno is hiding something on his scrolls. It is from U’ecin’s old hunting list, it passes down to him after saving some women as they used his saferooms. He can’t remember when it started, but it sure gives them relief and offer something he could not refuse. The city’s dark agenda. He never been a part of it, but this is how he able to create saferooms in the most advantageous locations he could find. The women never tell anything about it except about the gossips. This was given a bad outcome with the Perb’s success. It did save the innocent bystanders. It also saves the people who are using it as hideouts. They are as clever than he made it for.
Now he doesn’t know what to do with the scrolls manifest from their visits. The magic scrolls on his hands are as powerful enough as them. The look of his eyes, that the city couldn’t detect its powers. Filled to the fullest of their citizen’s magic, to the sheer high tier of magic in control. He possesses the powers of a literal god if he is that too mortal of a weak man. The first thing they could do now is to get them here, and the unconscious man is here as examples of his uses.
The summoned monsters are coming back, the magic field is not yet removed as they busy themselves talking. The Perb said to them “I guess our break here is over. Let’s see first what we can do here”
Everything revolves around him as the environment is twirling around as the dark winds circling them, monsters hidden raises on their feet and up to the air. The dome is formed as it shrouded around them. Ironno sees it for the first time the powers they unleashed. Their very presence was easily harmed. Azin’s floating object protect them as it siphons the harmful auras.
Ironno touches the object and laying it down. “Let me use my magic scrolls. You will see this kind of power can’t be detected in this city’s law”
The Perb agrees “Listen to him, I was able to get out. I didn’t carry my fake ID around and that was a load of mana I have to conceal myself”
Azin heard them and casts the object into a spiral nova, blasted away the initial threat before them. The monsters were knocked back as this time they are carrying glass like gems. It able to hold itself as it needs a little more power to break them.
The Perb transforms himself into a woman, his powers become grandeur to himself as his confident boosted out of his ego. His abilities rose insignificantly with only buffs coming from his own. The monsters come out from the dark and attacked him first. The Perb acts out in sudden movement with only one stance at the time against his enemies. By sheer weight of his punches and kicks in quick succession, the loud bursts of the monsters burst out to the air. The loud noise broke through the magic field and heard across the hill. The Perb’s device starts to ring as the call of the police is coming to this place.
Ironno uses this chance to use his magic scrolls. Release one of them on the Perb’s device, the spell places on it and cause soundwave to search down the hills. The mountain shrine shakes down, where the enemies’ avatars revealed to them. They have seen that Azin has companies as they tried to record who are he is with. One of them is shocked they couldn’t detect them in the first place.
“Where in the hell, did they come from?”
“Wait, I think we found one of us gone missing. He’s out”
“Tch* It’s too late now, there was a loud noise coming from here. The police will definitely find us”
The avatars try to escape, but the trees surrounding them are acting up. The spells drew on the ground up to the leaves. The air turned sour to their magic’s presence. A powerful disruption blocked their escape. They could not do anything to react this quick as the sudden pull drove them all up to the shrine. The trees cleanly brought them here, the magic infused with the scrolls make it look like they are flying toward them. The Perb comes out from the leaves and quickly take the avatars out one at the time. The fight was easily done and the magic field disappears.
The Perb had witness that the Horsin is getting stronger by the day. The same goes before when he is at the east coast. They are starting to find ways to get hold of their mana to fight against them. The magic scrolls Ironno used are both powerful and safe. Leaving him how he is able to get such power infused into a piece of paper. The avatars fell easily leaving off the dolls they left to them. The materials used for shamanism but fully made by neutral mana.
When he brings them to them, he sees Azin using his floating object to send the unconscious man back to Fuku City. The Perb jumps on to him, Azin dodges him using the floating object, absorbing in and places him to the other direction.
“What in the fuck did you do that? Ironno, why didn’t you stop him?”
He turns to Ironno, he is busy using the scrolls to gather as much mana spread around here. It fades so quickly as it too tries to escape. The Perb never seen this man, Azin, acting this way. He remembers Haw did some horrible things in the Black and White Zone, while Ironno allowed him to do the most unseen experience to his victim when he was attacked. But this one, is a good man? So unbelievable.
Ironno calls out to them. “We shouldn’t be wasting our time here, what do you find through the forest downhill?”
“Another avatar, you should’ve used the same magic to forced summon here”
“For what? You clearly hear your device ringing. The police are coming and you are not the type of person to meet them”
Azin speaks out “Neither with all of us having a group like him”
“Oh stop, I’ve come and help and you took away my prize”
The light rays up from the air as the police are coming up. The police used magic to quickly remove any teleportation spell. The female police are gaining the ground up.
Improved with their new equipment, they rushed up to any elevation to the uphill of the mountain shrine. “Don’t hesitate when fighting this man. It’s been too long where he hid inside Mihayara district”
“Is that really the same guy who sexual harassed the men?”
“Try saying that again if you are a man, he is been in the wanted list and still able to get away”
The search lights are coming up, floating in the air searching for them flying away. There is no chance to escape. The Perb is waiting for Ironno to use his magic.
Azin watches Ironno comes at front as they come up in an alarming fast pace. Ironno pulls out a scroll, bigger than any paper. A size of a poster as the writings and drawings are bolden and thick. Clean in the citizens’ language, the calligraphy on it is surprising to be identical to theirs. Ironno made it so as the poster reaches to their flashlights.
“Freeze! What?”
“Where are they?”
“I thought I saw someone. Damn, we have already found the coordinates where he is”
“Now that’s what you call the true rapists. He doesn’t ask question and he got so quick . . . Ouch!”
“What’s wrong?”
“I feel like I bump into someone”
The three never expect to get away, and being invisible than all things they have done. Azin says to Ironno “It should’ve done better to use it since the beginning”
“You know what kind of scroll I used back there?”
“No”
“Then why not understand what it used for”
Ironno gives him the copy. Azin can’t decipher it, even he could use magic but the scroll Ironno used is draining the mana. The Perb could never know such power required for this scroll. In a broad light among the police’s search lights. They are invisible for some reason.
As the lights are away, within the darkness of the night, they become visible. The police quickly turned around “There! What!?”
“Let’s search over there, this man is sure can hide fast”
“Everyone gets your gun up and a few flare guns. We will blind him or place some barriers when we found him”
Azin listens closely as the person they are talking too is more than he had not want to listen. This is not the time for him to place judgement on this fat man, his figure changes into a woman with pride with his luscious body. As the words got out, Azin seems to understand the Perb’s uses in crime.
They listen to the police women’s conversation. “The infamous futanari man, right?”
“Giggle* My bad, that was a bit dark. My kind of joke actually”
“I guess that porn genre is getting too far”
“Or you just shut up and stop distracting yourself here. That pervert is here for a reason, and a victim should be a man around here. If we found that victim, all messed up. I don’t think we can be continuing as police officers when we see that”
“TRUE!”
“AAH!”
A scream coming out of nowhere. A woman’s voice, a sound they never recognized. They look carefully and use their magic as this is getting them into a suspense.
The Perb flat out said it near to them. Azin and Ironno almost got caught, but it was enough of the female police going to the other way. A risky diversion, that man had taking advantage of their escape. Both of them were not impressed by his own actions. The Perb agreed to them in the back of his head. No asking for an apology like the rest of the citizens, this man is arrogant. They never complain, the Perb never feel so alive in their what he is thinking, ‘awkward’ silent. They keep going as they reaching close to the exit.
Azin never feel this kind of rumors he heard. A sex offender of the same sex, overpowering them to the best of his abilities living a mark of obscene nightmares to their bottoms. The floating object won’t cast down judgement on him, even this heinous act, and there is nothing he could do as he have to wait and see to justify his action to scare off the people who chased him. Meanwhile, The Perb is looking at the keychain. The piece of materials he could go through just to not get detected. It is slim for a short time, because the real owner never leaves his place. He is wishing to go there if he had a chance.
The efforts of the police were a failure. The last signal found in their radars are that he is already out from the perimeter. He is already rushing away to north where he headed between Fuku City or the ruins in Mihayara District. This late of night won’t alert the Agatheans stationed there, and the goblins are evacuated to follow the regulations from the ruins’ incident. They look at the radar as they call to HQ
“Chief, the most wanted man got away . . . No, we have no signs to see any illicit act in the area . . . Yes, the suspects around here are traced back to Fuku City . . . Understood, we will begin our investigation there”
The three was able to escape, leaving no trace behind as they stop to one of Ironno’s saferooms. Their conversation wasn’t over, and the Perb has a lot thing to do in his mind as he reverts back to his fatty self.
“You guys are getting on my nerve. Since when are you, guys getting more powerful by the day?”
Azin answers “Your city is too easy to release their mana, too frequently if you know about excess mana”
“What are you on about?”
Ironno explains to him by gives him one of his scrolls. The same scroll to hide them from plain sight, a size a poster as the Perb sees it clearly with his magic.
“You mean to tell me that someone else made this magic scroll for you”
“. . .”
“The silent treatment, then you . . .”
Azin stops him “Quiet! Just use your abilities to identify it. You have this called UI, it will not be hard to understand why”
The Perb looks at him and gives him a creepy grin. Azin didn’t take the bait as he keeps to himself, yet his trembling hands are taking a serious frustration of his provocation. It is clear that Azin doesn’t want this man to be with the group. Reluctantly, this is how far he could get when hunted down.
The Perb sees the scroll through his UI. The sources say it was developed by his own people. What’s worse as he continues to read further. He drops the poster scroll left him speechless. It was revenge, silly grudges among the female society. They are the alternative of villains, once victims turned to monsters. No wonder they have this kind of powers. Ironno becomes their little revenger. But what’s with Azin’s side of powers? His UI identifies him, but there’s no avail about him. Blocked by an unusual magic around him. Ironno asks him
“Do understand now?”
“Honestly, I don’t give a fuck anymore. Able to contain such power is unbelievable made me think that the Agatheans did the same?”
Azin sighs and gives his floating object to his presence. The Perb couldn’t even dare to say anything, it makes him to think more seriously as before. He keeps on thinking more than he had to think this hard to figure it out. His fate is clearly reaching to the rumors he read from social media website. His own mind keeps in touch the posts he had thought were garbage.
“. . . A lot of people are fighting in the internet, now they are going at it outside the screen. They are using their summoned creatures to get revenge”
“I found someone’s spirit pet stalking at us in the girl’s bathroom”
It keeps go on “AAH! Who are those fuckers using magic just to do perverted things?”
“Back then there were only mana, now these little fucks are haunting us everywhere nonstop”
“The magic barriers won’t work on these spirits. Where are those fuckers and I would strangle them?”
“Hey! There is some guy making saferooms for us. Go there, if you still value your privacy”
“Why would we have to fear to our own city like this? We should fight back”
“The government did what they can to secure it. It’s good they have helped us before, but where’s the justice?”
The Perb exhausts himself with a sigh, these two Enders have received their powers from them. If his victims know about it too, then which Agatheans or goblins ever tried to take him down for the bounty. Then all the places he enjoyed will be gone with nothing but them searching for him. He thinks really quick and admitted to himself, he said to Ironno directly and Azin hears his concerns.
“You wanted me join, because in the future I won’t be able to get away”
Ironno’s silent breaks “. . . Value your signal . . . (He taps his forehead). The Perb twitches his eyes and follow along tapping his forehead. Azin watches them disappointedly to the perverted man possessing such a valuable oath.
