Chapter 21: DISTRICTS

[District 2]

"All hail Oliver Johnson!!"

Sounds echoed inside the District 2, all of them were shouting the name of one man.

"All hail!!"

A shout of victory was happening in the District 2. The Second Boss, the Golem, was defeated by a single person. 

Oliver Johnson (Titan). He has defeated the Golem by sheer strength. He smashed the head of it until it lost its life. Oliver received injuries, but it was not life threatening.

Oliver could turn into a 12-foot giant. When he transformed into a giant. He gained massive strength. A strength equal to his dead opponent, the Golem.

""" Oliver!! Oliver!! Oliver!!"""

People cheered for him. He gained the support of all the people in District 2. They saw how this man battled many monsters singlehandedly, and he won all of them.

Because of his massive strength, no one could beat him. Besides, his friendly smile made him hard to be an enemy.  Overall districts, district 2 has the most harmony because their leader, Oliver Johnson was the most peaceful one.

"Hahaha, thank you very much. Let's go and eat!!"

He laughed.

"Oliver can we take the Item drops of the Golem!?"

"Yes, can we take it!?"

The other people asked if they could get the Items that he earned through fighting the Boss.

"Hahaha, is that it!? You can take everything! Now, let's eat!"

Oliver... is a friendly stupid person. He doesn't care about any Items. He just wanted to eat the delicious food called monsters. 

He is a foodie. He loves to eat. However, instead of gaining weight, he gained height. His height is 7 feet whenever he returned to his normal form.

"I'm lucky to be part of this Punishment Event! I can't believe that I will find many delicious foods here! Hahaha"

The Titan happily ate the foods. He may look stupid, but this didn't change the fact that he was the strongest Awakener in District 2.

[District 4]

*rrroooaaarrrr!! *

A Bear with a molten body was making a havoc inside the Castle. The Lava Bear destroyed anything that it saw. But no matter how many rooms he broke, he couldn't find any living person.

The only thing left in the District 4 was the foul smell and lying corpses.

Before the Second boss began its havoc. The people in District 4 were already gone.

All of its population was dead. No one lived. The Awakeners are extinct.  

[District 4: Quest failed. Terminating the procedure. Deleting... process starts]

The Castle started to vanish. Thousands of bodies were left behind. They couldn't return to their families. The District 4 lost its color.

After killing the Gryphin. Many eyes were now looking at us. They were curious about how we defeated the Boss. Some even tried to ask about an alliance. 

There were even brave people who tried to recruit us. We declined their proposals, but we gave them some friendly terms. Such as when a Monster Boss appears, we will take care of it. Of course, the Item Drops will be ours... and they disagree.

"It's obvious that you received Items that have good effects. We won't let you take all of it"

Said the man who's an Asian just like me. His name is Lee... What is it again?

"Yup. I don't want to agree with this yellow man, but he's actually right. The equipment that you have is already high-class."

The Latina dissed the man.

".... Did you call me yellow man? Huh b*tch!?"

"Who's the b*tch!? Hey for your information I don't like men.  And I won't even give a fuck about your tiny penis! Korean!!"

Sigh, they couldn't talk peacefully. We came here to make a decision. If this gathering didn't have a conclusion, this meeting would turn to none.

"Then how about this. Two groups will kill the next monster Boss. All of the Items that will drop will be shared equally by the two groups."

Francisco gave his proposition. I think it's a nice idea. I nodded, but my opinion was not important, the four leaders would be the ones who would make decisions.

"I'm fine with that."

Kalman. A person from Africa agreed on the conditions. Looked like he found it good.

"Kalman agreed. Janna and Lee Hal-Sung, you two are the only undecided here. What do you think, you agree? I believe two groups are already good to beat a Boss... That's if the Boss is not an aerial type."

Francisco added.

"... Yeah, I'm in."

"I accept"

The Latina and Korean both agreed.

"Good, Janna and Lee Hal-Sung already agreed. What about you Kyle?"

The four leaders stared at Kyle at the same time.

"I'm okay about that, but the Last Boss will be mine"

He tapped his finger and spoke.

"Last Boss?"

Lee asked.

"Yup. Four months from now, we will fight the Last Boss. I want my team to kill it."

".... And why do you call it the last Boss...? Is there something that we don't know here?"

Lee Hal-Sung(?) asked him. I think I know where this is going. 

Kyle chuckled and opened his mouth.

"Since all of the leaders are here. I guess this is the right time to tell this. After four months we will return to Earth. Now, I want the 6th boss."

Except for Francisco who already knew it. The other three were surprised when they heard it, their eyes widened for a second but they quickly comprehended what he said. They have thoughts about the possible return. However, they didn't know when. But now, they learned the exact duration.

They received good information, nope, for the whole time they spent in this goddamn nowhere sh*t. This was the most encouraging hope that they found.

"Francisco. Do you know about this!?"

"Yes, Kyle already said it when we first met."

"... Is this authentic?"

"Of course, but I can't force you to believe it. It depends on you.

Kyle said. The actual reason he said this was to divert their attention.

He knew that they were suspicious about our team, but since he gave them important information like this. He was confident that they would do nothing about us. In fact, they would feel indebted. 

"... Okay, I'm in. We'll leave the Last Boss to you."

"... Tch. Okay fine, you can get it."

Mister Korean and Miss Lesbian agreed. 

"Hehe, thank you very much."

The truce was officially announced.

"Good, we now have an agreement. Lee Hal-Sung and Kalman will face the upcoming Boss. The Items and equipment that the Boss will drop will be distributed to them"

No one denied the plan, they found the solution. I thought this meeting would turn into a battle. Fortunately, it's not. 

The first two groups would be Lee and Kalman. They would fight the upcoming Third Boss. 

Next are Francisco and Janna. They would face the Fourth Boss.

"Who's going to kill the 5th Boss?  Are you joining us, Kyle? Will you face the Fifth Boss?"

"Nope. What I want is the Last Boss. You can decide for yourselves. It's your problem. Now, I need to excuse myself, I have something to do."

Kyle stood up and ushered us to leave. We followed him and exit the meeting room.

"Are you sure about giving them the other Boss?"

I asked.

"Yeah."

"You're our leader, so we respect your decision."

Even though Kyle kept many secrets from us. He helped me, no, he helped us. And for that I'm thankful.

For me, he's a good person.

"Now, let's return to practice. I will never stop until no one is crying blood."

... I change my mind.
