“Select the post…” Swanson stood up, crossing his arms.

“Okay…” Alexander sat down at the computer and did as he was told.

“Now click on this icon to delete the post…” Swanson’s tone was commanding, pointing to a trash can-shaped icon.

“Okay…” Alexander clicked on the icon without question.

After the post was deleted, Alexander spun his chair around, turning to Swanson, “Why all the fuss over a normal post?”

"A normal post?...." The corners of Swanson's mouth twitched.

After the events of Varyag City, many theories emerged that explained this event.

The government's ambiguous stance created a suitable atmosphere for rumors.

Then suddenly, a strange account called Crazy Potato came out of nowhere and published a post that caused a huge uproar among conspiracy theorists.

That post talked about the existence of a pharmaceutical company called Umbrella that was conducting secret experiments and that this monster was just one of the results of these experiments.

This story spread unexpectedly and everyone started talking about this company and guessing who was behind these brutal experiments.

Many news channels investigated this matter.

But even after a long search, they were unable to find a company with that name.

Despite statements being made that the information in this post was completely false, many people have bought into the story, believing that the denials are merely an attempt to cover up Umbrella's crimes.

Some government agencies moved to investigate this suspicious post and who owned this account.

It was clear that the name 'Crazy Potato' was fake and after investigation it turned out that the information in this account was not true

This increased the suspicions of the Ministry of the Interior about this account and in order to solve the case as quickly as possible, the assistance of the Intelligence Unit was requested to reveal the identity of the account owner.

The Intelligence was able to easily find the location of the account owner.

In the end, it turned out that the account owner lived in the Varyag city, and from the information that was revealed, this account was created from a device protected and monitored by the Intelligence.

This means that the matter was out of their hands, so they had to inform the higher authorities about this matter.

Therefore, a report was sent in this regard to the Intelligence Presidency so that an order could be issued on how to deal with this case.

Walter grabbed his head when he heard that their target was in the Varyag city.

The Varyag city had five million inhabitants, yet Walter was able to guess who the 'crazy potato' was.

There was one person who could cause trouble without any difficulty as if he was breathing.

Walter did not remain lost in his thoughts for long, as the account data came to him urgently.

It turned out that the person who created this account was Alexander Ford.

And strangely enough, this did not makes him lose his temper like it usually does.

He had lost all hope that Alexander would act normally, so he had accustomed himself to receiving such news.

Walter quietly picked up the phone to order Swanson to force Alexander to delete this post.

Swanson was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Are they sure he wrote this post?”

Swanson had heard about the post that the Crazy Potato had posted.

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

It was hard to believe this story, but the spread of this strange theory was a fact that everyone knew.

After getting confirmation from the officers in charge of this case, Swanson moved towards Alexander’s room and asked him directly.

“Are you the Crazy Potato?.”

Alexander nodded with an innocent face.

Do you know the commotion you caused?... This left Swanson speechless.

But what left him even more frustrated was the reason Alexander had given.

“I saw everyone making theories, so I wanted to join in the fun.”

Swanson slapped his forehead at this ridiculous reason

Can't this kid settle down for a while?

Is he hyperactive or something?

No, more importantly, where did he get this story from?

Swanson had to admit that the story Alexander had written was great

The vast imagination in this story must have been appealing to many

"Have you ever thought about becoming a story writer?" Swanson asked curiously

"I'm not particularly fond of art." Alexander's response was terse

"That's rare, young people these days dream of becoming actors to achieve fame and fortune." Swanson was impressed by the fact that Alexander wasn't driven by these fanciful dreams

"I'm not good at acting, I think it's because of my honest personality." Alexander's face was radiating an angelic aura of honesty

"..." For some reason I feel like you're lying

Swanson didn't know why these thoughts suddenly came to him

Alexander sighed with a sad look, "Honest people like me often suffer the most in this corrupt world."

"..." But considering your actions, you're the one who's making others suffer

***

Seven o'clock in the evening

Alexander stood in front of the window with a cup of tea in his hand

Although he seemed to be looking randomly through the window, his eyes were focused on a specific area from time to time.

That area contained a group of trees with some well-trimmed bushes and recently mowed grass.

He was specifically focusing on one of the trees that stood right in the middle.

Under that tree, he buried the knight's heart.

The rhombic crystal was called the Knight's Heart, which was the most important part when making a Corrupted knight.

Making the Knight's Heart required a special type of sand and some other necessary additions.

But the most important part was the black dot in the middle of the crystal.

That dot was the material of the Vitae in its physical state.

The Vitae was compressed to a small size and then placed in the middle of the crystal.

This was the most important part because it was difficult to obtain.

Obtaining the physical energy of the Vitae required special sacrifices.

It wasn't just about killing others.

The Vitae came out of the victim who was exposed to irresistible pain or in the event that the victim was exposed to a terrifying and painful situation at the same time.

The blood that came out of the victims Rich in Vitae, which can be used in various rituals, including making the heart of the Corrupted knight

It was not easy because it required a lot of sacrifices to obtain a sufficient amount of Vitae to make the heart of the Corrupted knight, the more sacrifices, the stronger the knight

And there was a step that required the use of a dangerous potion

Amnesia Potion

This was not a necessary step, but using it greatly reduced the effort expended

Vitae is extracted through fear and pain, but the victim who is exposed to pain for a period of time will gradually begin to get used to it, which reduces the amount of Vitae produced from this process over time

Therefore, some of these demons use the Amnesia Potion on their victims to make them forget the pain and terrible experiences they went through

Thus, they can be exposed to these experiences again without reducing the amount of Vitae produced from this process because they will experience the torment again as if they were exposed to it for the first time, and thus it will require fewer sacrifices to obtain the same amount of Vitae

The materials required to make the potion are widely available, but the problem lies in the step Essential to gaining the potion's ability to erase memory

This step involved making indirect contact with one of the great ones who bestowed his blessing and thus made this potion able to perform its function

It was fraught with danger and it was possible that dealing with this entity would cause the person performing this ritual to lose control and turn into a Hollow

All these circumstances made the Knight's Heart something invaluable

That's why when the Corrupted knight is defeated, the one controlling this knight always makes sure to take the knight's heart before escaping

That's why Alexander was keen to take that crystal before escaping from the place

There was a link between the knight's heart and the one controlling this knight

So even if someone took the crystal, the one controlling this knight would be able to track the crystal if it was within a certain range

This is considered an advantage for the enemy, but Alexander decided to use this to his advantage by using this crystal as bait to attract the enemy

He buried the crystal in a place where he could watch it from the window of his room

And the place was close enough that he could sense any trace of the Vitae, no matter how small

Of course, there was a possibility that this crystal would be stolen while he was in one of the classes or training halls far from this place

But this did not pose a problem because the traces of the Vitae would remain everywhere the enemy passed

It was like tracking a thief whose shoes were dirty with mud

Wherever that thief passed, he would leave a trace behind him that was easy to track

But these effects gradually diminish until they disappear over time

So he had to be quick in doing this work

The only problem that worried him was what he would say when he evaded the intelligence officers’ surveillance

Escaping from them was easy, but considering Walter’s last reaction, he would definitely strangle him if he escaped again

------------

I took a small sip of tea as I was lost in my thoughts

My current mind was foggy as I thought about what was happening around me

I felt as if the world around me was moving fast while I was standing still

A lot of things happened, especially the events related to the presence of warriors from other paths

I knew very well that the presence of these people was a bomb that could explode in my face if I didn’t stop them

I had an advantage over them currently because they didn’t know my strength or even where I was

But the problem is that I also have no idea about their strength or their hiding place

If I had known, I wouldn't have hesitated to go on a short visit to get to know these guys

I focused on the crescent moon in the heart of the sky

This has been worrying me since I arrived here

I tried to ignore it, but the coincidences were too much

Every time, events happened near me

The appearance of the chosen ones right after I arrived in this world

The coincidence that the girl I met by chance was one of these legendary figures

The case of the existence of a site guarded by very powerful spirit seals right behind my house

Then the presence of warriors from evil paths in this world and their direct targeting of me

I was transferred to the academy that the original Alexander had tried so hard to avoid enrolling in

And the last dream was an unambiguous confirmation of my suspicions

This wasn't a dream, but rather a warning to me to go there and eliminate the corrupt knight

There was someone or something directing me towards a certain path

I stressed on the cup in my hand and I pursed my lips with all my might

I know this feeling well

To have someone move me around like a worthless chess piece

This feeling was nauseating and made me feel sticky

I don't know who's messing with me, but he's wrong if he thinks this will end well for him.

I will make sure they pay the price just like I did with those bastards in my previous life

"Shouldn't you sleep? You need to wake up early tomorrow morning so that the instructor doesn't scold you again." Swanson's tired voice came from the headphone

"I'm staring at the moon a little..." I replied indifferently

"Oh, how romantic of you..." Swanson laughed lightly with some sarcasm, "You look like a lover thinking about his beloved."

"..." Actually I'm thinking about the person I should kill
