after the interview, the game became the center of attention but with the too small amount of capsule, only the few lucky could obtain it. so, someone announce that he obtain one capsule many broadcasting companies fought to be the one to make a contract with him. so, many of the lucky ones became rich instantaneously. in London, Anne, the 16 year old princess of Liechtenstein, also want to play the game. unfortunately, she isn't among the selected so, to console herself, she took Cathy, her friend to go shopping.
Cathy:"princess, are you sure that it's the good way?"
Anne:"don't worry, from the map, I'm sure that it's a shortcut. and I already said to call me by my name." at the same time, she thought:'please, make it that it's a shortcut'
Cathy:"OK; but there's no need to be so stubborn. after all, it's not as if it will harm us to ask for help."
Anne:"I already said that we are not lost."'it's too embarrassing to admit that we're lost even after living in this town for five year.'
Cathy:"there's no need to try to hide it, you know, after all, we were together for five year and even someone that see you for the first time will know just by seeing you that you're lost."
Anne:"you win. so, let's ask people for direction. so, let's go."
after saying that, Anne began to run but then, she tripped and fall to the wall but rather than striking the wall, she fell on the ground in the courtyard big mansion.
Cathy:"Anne, are you alright?"
Anne:"I'm fine. where are we?"
Cathy:"I don't know. after you disappeared into the wall, I rushed to your side without thinking"
at that time, a guy that became know throughout the world appeared before them and asked:
"who are you."
instantly,a strong pressure made it like their bones will be crushed made them shudder. seeing that, Cathy said to Anne:
"run away, now"
but after Anne took ten steps, Blake gave her a flick into the head making her faint. then, he said to Cathy:
"interesting, I've already seen people resisting my aura but you're the first who is actually countering it like that. so, is it a force field?"
Cathy:"???"
seeing Cathy not respond, Blake continued:
"it's fine if you don't want to respond, after all, it's true that revealing your abilities to the enemy before a fight"
at that time, Sky and Light appeared and then, Sky talked:
"o-onii san, i-it seem that they just fell though the portal. they're not trespassers but just unlucky"
Blake:"if that's the case, we can't possibly attack them. but then, what will we do about them?"
Light:[we will see that later. for now, I think that we need to seal the portal so that they cannot flee and give them a place to rest until we found what to do with them]
Cathy:"it's true that we are here by accident. so, can't you simply let us leave, we promise to not tell anyone about your whereabouts."
Blake:"unfortunately, we can't do that, we can always change the emplacement of our portal but even so, we can't let you go because this portal was created so that when someone traversed it once, that person will always be able to instinctively locate all nearby portals."
Cathy:"so, can't you simply make it so that we can't locate it?"
Blake:"we can erase the spell, but only for your friend; but, as a hero, I fear that we can't do nothing about your. anyway, let's continue this talk tomorrow, it's late."
the day after, Anne woke up within a big bed and after a short while, remembered what happened and ran out of the room only to meet up with Cathy who explain to her what happened. then, after she finished, they descended to the dining room for breakfast. then, when they were half finished, the siblings came up.
Blake:"good morning. are you ready to go back to your home?"
Anne:"no, there's no way that I will return home leaving her alone here. I will remain too"
Blake:"how unexpected. we didn't think that a runaway princess like you will lock herself in there."
Anne:"how did you know"
Blake:"we simply searched. but now that we know that you will remain we think that it's better if we tell you everything.
you see, gods did exist. born from mythology, these gods ruled the earth. these gods, from times to times, procreated with humans giving birth to the heroes. so, heroes are either peoples possessing divine blood or ordinary peoples that made great feats making them a very know so that their existence themselves were like a myth transforming part of their blood into divine blood, or even transforming them into gods.
then, one days, the gods made a covenant to separate them from the rest of the world and at the same time separated the world into three realms:
-the immortal realm where the gods and divines being lives
-the human realm where the humans live
-and the monster realm where the monsters and the demi-human live.
because of that, contact with the others realms are very rare.
then, the heroes, together with the magic users, ruled the world
even so, that reign ended soon.simply because the heroes where rare.after all, divine blood remain dense only for five generations, even if resent search made by my family demonstrated that it's precisely 2,5%, basically, the divine blood need to be preserved above minimum by making feats heroics or demonic and even then, divine blood will not awaken unless there's a trial. but these potential heroes became nobles and by too excessive consanguinity in their marriages, became sickly so they were dispensed from doing effort; among the rest,the majority where mostly too lazy to proves themselves so their blood never awaken. and the few who were intelligent enough to not become nobility had their divine blood become too thin to awaken them.

and for the magic users, it had fallen in disuse because the monsters to fight where not many anymore and in some areas, they where considered dangerous and sometimes where even hunted.
even so, there were a few peoples that were able to continue surviving by forming clans. among them, the magi, even if rare if we talk in term of percentage, can be said to be considered many if we talk about numbers. after all, there's more than a thousand clans throughout the world. but for the heroes, we are the sole clan; but rather that saying that we are the sole clan surviving, it's more correct to say that the various clans ended up fusing together more and more until only one clan remaining.
Cathy:"so, what does that have to do with me being a hero?"
Blake:"that come from the fact that when children are born, they receive half the blood of each parents, so, there's cases where the someone has enough divine blood even though their parents didn't have it. and that's your case so, when you awakened, you obtained three abilities even if they are all the type who are passive so, you didn't notice it.
Anne:"if that's the case, then I understand why even though you are both heroes, your power are very far apart. after all, the simple concentration of your blood differs greatly. so, what's her abilities?"
Blake:"her abilities are actually a resistant body who made you very resistant to physical attacks, an almighty power, and a force field who reduce the powers of impending threats. in fact, if you train, you will become an incredibly fearsome warrior."
Cathy:"so, if I train hard, I could become as strong as you?"
Blake:"actually, it's impossible to become as strong as us. do you remember that divine blood become denser as you made feats, actually, no matter how many feats you do, it will never go above 75%. so, those that obtained divinity where those that attained that percentage and then, received blessings from a god. but us, are an exception.
our parents, being the two most powerful members of our clan who had 70 and 72% of divine blood,gave birth to us. but we only received part of their human blood but too many of the divine blood. because someone who has above 50% of divine blood awaken without trial, me and Sky, awakened without difficulty. even more so that I had 95% of divine blood and 20% of that blood was of draconic origin.
and for Sky, she had 80% of divine blood and 5% of it was of draconic origin. so, when the Night was about to be born, all the clan members celebrated saying that that will surely be another genius. but when she was born, that was a tragedy. she was born at 100% of divine blood; in other words, she was born as a god. then, when she emanated her first cry, it became an extremely violent blessing that gave divinity to those having enough powers but killed instantly all those that didn't. that's why we are actually the sole surviving from our clan, both of us being a god.
that's why we made that game."
Anne:"I don't really see what rapport does being a god have with making the game."
Blake:"you see, because of the barriers separating the realms are extremely strong, we can neither rejoin the gods nor go to the monsters. because of that, we are gods trapped in a world of humans, without noting to do and because we are too powerful, we risk of causing damages when being serious. so three years ago, we decided:"if this world is so boring, let's create a game world where we can have fun." since then, we used all our resources to create the best game there is.
Cathy:"if you are a god, can't you make it so that there's more than 1000 capsule a month?"
Blake:"we would want to, but the process of making the capsule is very slow, after all, the core is a magic artefact made of an ordinary glass but that must be cut at a certain but who must be cut in the presences of a sufficient amount of my divine power. because of that, we made it one by one."
Anne:"in mythology, gods have divine artefact that helped them. but I suppose that if they must do everything by hand, then there's no way that you could have it. what a pity, I always wanted to see one of these."
at that time, the atmosphere in the room froze and Cathy said to her:
"you know, you though too loud" (with made her realise her mistake)
but then,Light wrote:
[a divine artefact, why didn't we think of something like that, we can always create a machine and imbue it with the divine power of Blake, so that the machine can do the creation of the core and the imbued part will replace Blake. Sky, Blake, create a machine and once done, make an announcement saying that we will have more capsules.]
and that's how the number of capsule for the launch skyrocketed from 1000 to 10000
