Chapter : 28 | Two Sides |

(Jebi) - So, are we going to play some kind of game?

(Robertio) - You are right. We are going to play a game.

(Jebi) - What kind of game?

(Robertio) - The game that I've played the most. It's called war.

(Jebi) - I didn’t understand!

(Robertio) - Let me explain. You will be given a country and a 20,000-men army. I will be given the same amount of men. Then, after 7 days, we will fight. You have to choose a king within the first 2 days. If you win, I will tell you where the key to the second seal is. But before we start playing, I should tell you that there are two types of games here. We would do a lottery, and the winner will get an army. Let's say you are the winner; then, your army will be 10 times stronger than mine. However, even with this advantage, you still have a disadvantage. To win, you have to kill the king of the opposing country . But when you win the lottery, you have to choose yourself as the king. On the other hand, if you lose, you can choose anyone as the king. For any other information, you can ask your royal adviser. By the way, if you lose here, you will die!

(Jebi) - Okay. I agree to the game. Let's start playing. But before we begin, I want to ask you something!

(Robertio) - What is it?

(Jebi) - You said I will be given a country, right? Are there people in that country?

(Robertio) - Yes, there are people.

(Jebi) - Are they real? I mean, do they have their own minds?

(Robertio) - I understand what you want to say! First, let me tell you the history of the Sound Empire!

(Jebi) - I would gladly hear it!

(Robertio) - It was a very long history. I will tell you in short! I, Robertio, once wanted to conquer the army of the second seal. I even managed to open it, but I lost control of that army, and they started to kill my civilians. Their leader started to blackmail me to give his freedom to him!

(Jebi) - What did he mean by his freedom?

(Robertio) - Actually, when you open the seal, it's not enough to control the army. You need the key. This key is the reason that they would follow your orders. But besides that key, there was another thing you need to control the army. That thing is a card, the Heavenly Card. It has the potential to grant any wish at a limit. But someone very close to me, my wife, betrayed me and stole the card. So I had only 50% control, and she had the other 50%. Then, the gods interfered. In order to resolve all this, they closed the seal and created a separate dimension. No one came here for a long time because no one could solve the puzzle at my statue's feet. In this separate dimension, time was stopped. The people in my country would think nothing happened. They would live as per their fate. They don't even know what happened! The same thing happened with your country!

(Jebi) - Can I ask who was the king of my country?

(Robertio) - It was my wife.

(Jebi) - Okay, then we should do the lottery, right!

Jebi loses in the lottery.

(Jebi) - My luck sucks...

(Robertio) - Now the game begins...

A very bright light covered Jebi's eyes.

When Jebi opened his eyes, he was sitting on the throne. A person asked him, "What's wrong, king?"

(Jebi) - I don't feel right! I need to rest.

That person says, "As you wish."

Jebi said, "I need someone in my room! Anyone come to my room with me. I need someone to give me a hand. I feel really sick!"

A girl appeared and said, "I will guide the king into his room." A man said, "Cristy, don't you think I should go with the king?"

(Jebi) - No one will come with me. Besides, Cristy!

Cristy guided Jebi to the king's room.

Jebi thought to himself, "I don't know a single person or a single room in this huge palace. I managed to use Cristy to learn which is my room. Another thing is the past king was a lady, meaning queen, but they aren’t shocked to see me, which suggests that they know me!"

(Jebi) - Cristy, make a list of the royal workers who have a very important role for this country, including yourself and myself.

On the other hand,

Everyone knows that Jebi is in the separate dimension. So this is the chance for everyone to destroy the "Resolver." The Resolver itself also knows that. It's not like Jebi didn’t predict that. Jebi knew that the key to the second seal isn’t in the ruins of the Sound Empire. There might be a hint to find the second seal because if there is a seal to the Sound Empire, what's the need for 'Presidents' to play the game? There is something dangerous; that's why presidents aren’t making any move. They want to guide Jebi or Mister Rick into danger. It's all actually President 1's plan. That's why Jebi made a deal with Evan so that just in case if Jebi isn’t able to protect the Resolver, then Evan will protect the Resolver. That's the deal between Jebi and Evan. Both of them made this deal after the Forest game ended.

GREENLAND:

In Greenland, there is a prison specially built for a single prisoner. The prison is underground, specifically under the ice.

As I said, it is built for a single prisoner. By this statement, one can imagine how dangerous that prisoner is! This prisoner is called Izy Bonaparte. At least all the government officials know that he is a prisoner. But the truth is different! Izy is the ruler in that prison, and the police are the prisoners. They all fear him like death!

In Prison:

A police officer is sitting with his head lowered in front of Izy!

Izy is a young man with bright skin. Nonetheless, it's safe to say he is very attractive!

(Izy) - What is it, officer? It seems to me you are in tension!

The officer replied, "I have a message for you, Lord. This message is from your seniors. As you know, Diablo is dead, and Jebi is in a separate dimension. So they said it is a good opportunity for you to destroy the 'Resolvers'!"

(Izy) - So why are you in tension? Is it because you understand that you are in a bad position? You have very important information. If you said this to anyone, we will be in trouble. So you might have assumed that I have to kill you, right?

The officer is still silent.

(Izy) - Hahaha! Don't worry, I won't kill you. What's your name again?

The officer replied, "Frankos."

(Izy) - So, Frankos, the thing is, you have to come with me. We will destroy them together, okay?

(Frankos) - As you wish, Lord!
