Arita... Being taken to Janitha in a black car with 9 guards around him.

"Why was this happening? What was going on?" Arita asked himself.

He was approaching a huge mansion nearby. He doesn't know how long he was in that car...

He knows that Janitha is waiting for him... But that mansion looks familiar... It looks VERY familiar to Arita.

Like the mansion his father's worst enemy lived at... The house of... the Afrat family.

The Afrat family was the family what tried everything to stop his father... He knows this because he has seen the many attempted a Coup d'etat. Even he was targeted once but he didn't notice anything but a red lazer going around his room and then it dissapeared.

Arita's father... Was the Luminate Corps's next head... Afrat family's owner was the second in line for the Luminate Corps.

Arita: "Now that I think about it... That... I'm going to die now aren't I... I can't do anything against them..."

Arita is now being taken into the house where a butler already has a wheelchair ready for him. The guards put him in there and leave.

Arita... Knows... He has no chance of escaping. But why was he able to move his left arm a little now? What was going on? Why could he move a little? The moment he got out of that hospital he was getting better at moving... Now he could move his left arm a little...

Arita: "What... Is going on here?"

Arita was taken into a room where somebody who looked exactly like Janitha appeared... She had silver hair... Blue eyes... Was 1 meter and 50 centimeters tall. The only difference between Janitha in-game and in real life was the elf ears...

Janitha: "Butler... Who is this?"

Butler: "This is Arita. The person you asked for."

Janitha: "He... Is in a wheelchair... Where did you take him from!?"

Butler: "From THAT place."

Janitha: "You mean... Arita was... The one... There? The one... Oh dear god... What have I done... Father is going to be mad at me.."

Arita: "What is going on... Where am I? Is that you Janitha...?"

Janitha: "It's me Arita... It's Janitha... I'm sorry... I'm really sorry. I did something I shouldn't... I didn't know you were from that... Hospital..."

Arita: "What hospital? The one in the deep woods? The one where there were only maids and nurses?"

Janitha: "Yeah... I guess because you're here there is no point in keeping the secret... The only reason you are still alive is because of the current head of Luminate Corps. My father.. Kept you from moving with medicine... It's a sort of paralyzing poison... It must be administered every day and I took you away before they could... That means... You can move a little can't you not...?"

Arita: "Now that you mention that... I can move my head and arms..."

Janitha: "But now that you can move... The only way for you to survive my father's attempts to kill you... Is to marry into our family or dissapear..."

Arita: "Hmmm...? Die or marry or dissapear... None of those sound good except the middle one..."

Janitha: "I'm really sorry Arita! Jav's still in-game looking for you... It's good he isn't here... He would try to kill you instantly for killing him in-game... And making his pride break..."

Arita tries to get up and stays on his feet for 2 seconds before collapsing and getting caught by Janitha.

Janitha: "Butler... Leave us. I have to talk with him before he dies..."

Butler: "Affirmative. By the sound of things your father is already heading here. I estimate 10 minutes. So make it quick Miss Janitha."

Janitha: "I will..."

Janitha starts slowly crying... She understood what she did... She basically killed Arita. There was only 1 way out of this... That was for Arita and Janitha to marry. But she didn't know what to do. She fell in love with Arita at first sight... But she doesn't know what Arita feels about her.

Arita: "Janitha... I will be fine. Even If I will have to fight your father... I will survive."

Janitha cries and puts Arita on her lap...

Janitha: "I'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry!"

Arita: "Stop crying... I will get out of this mess. This is not your fault. You didn't know..."

Janitha: "But..."

Arita: "Stop worrying about me, idiot... I'll be fine. It's not like i'm going to die right now... By the way... Why do I have to die if my father was next in line?"

Janitha: "You inherited his place in line... My father was enraged by that and swore to make you incapable to move or do anything until he gained control. He can't kill you because if he would he would be thrown out of Luminate Corps... The train incident was also because of... Us. Your hands healed a long time ago... But we kept injecting the poison to keep you paralyzed..."

Arita: "Hmm... I see. It's not your fault or Jav's fault. It's your fathers. Now I know why... The dragon told me that."

Jantiha: "Dragon...?"

Arita: "Don't worry about the dragon! Let's talk for a while Janitha... Marrying you doesn't seem bad..."

Janitha blushes: "R..Really...?"

Arita: "Yeah... Well... What should we talk about... I have nothing interesting to talk about... So you talk..."

Janitha talks for a little while until Janitha's father busts through the door. Janitha's father is... Eugene Afrat.

Eugene: "Janitha! You didn't know ARITA was the person in THAT facility!? Damn you girl!"

Eugene grabs Janitha by her hair and throws her into the corner. He approaches Arita... Janitha is crying in the corner.

Eugene: "Damn kid... Always so damn lucky... I've injected many poisons into you but only paralyzing ones take effect... All the other's get killed by some sort of... Thing... Inside you. Damn kid..."

Eugene tries to kick Arita but Arita moves out of instinct... What was going on...? How did Arita dodge that?

Arita didn't bother to ask those questions. He instantly took a nearby vase and smashed it into the leg of Eugene.

Eugene: "DAMN KID!"

Eugene tries to hit him again but Arita dodges with ease. He remembers everything what Eugene caused. All the... Blood. Arita was enraged... He moved as swiftly as the wind... It was basically a one-sided battle in real life... Eugene fell on the ground... Bleeding. Arita looked at him with the eyes of a killer.

What was going on...? Who was Arita's mother...? Who was Arita truly..?

Arita grabbed a nearby sharp object and stabbed it through the neck of Eugene. Nobody dared come close to the beast... Named Arita...

Arita laughed... And laughed... And laughed... He was basically on the edge of insanity... Only ONE small push... And he would've killed everybody involved with the incident...

But Janitha crawled out of the corner... Came to Arita's side who was still stabbing Eugene who's lifeless body was on the ground...

Janitha: "Stop Arita.. He's dead. You avenged your family... It's good enough... I'll explain to you what Luminate Online actually is..."

Arita: "What it actually is?"

Arita looks at Janitha with confusion...

Janitha: "Every boss was a program created by your father... Every human even the NPC's are actually a player... That world was basically a prison just for you... The bosses were your key out. But I accidentaly opened the door for you..."

Arita: "Hehehehe.... It's fun killing things though... Enjoyable..."

Janitha: "Come back to me Arita... I want the sweet Arita I knew..."

Janitha hugs and kisses Arita. Arita freezes with confusion... This was unexpected. Arita knew Janitha had feelings for her... But to kiss Arita this soon? That was a surprise.

What will Arita do now? He killed his arch-nemesis... Will he take over the world Lumina... And then lead Luminate corps...? What will he do... Where will his path lead...Why did... Arita... Enjoy murder? That... We shall find out!
