"So, they said no?" – asked "Kid".

"Unfortunately, yes." – said the dhampir Elizabeth Kar A.K.A Shadow Mask.

"The desert dragon clan wishes to stay out of that war."

"The ice dragon tribe clan expressed their dissatisfaction with the proposition."

"The thunder dragon clan stated that they won't be working alongside the fire dragon clan."

"What about the nature dragon clan?" – asked "Kid".

"They still have yet to give reply. Meaning they are still considering the offer." – said the dhampir.

"But whenever they will agree to the deal or not is still unknown."

"Hm…. Honestly, I doubt it." – said "Kid".

"The nature dragons are bit…. Well, they are extremely lazy."

"So they either fucking with us or they just had forgotten to give us reply….. *Sigh*."

"…"

"I know this is hopeless, but I'm going to ask anyway."

"Light dragon clan?"

"Actually…. They also didn't gave a reply either? They did heard the messenge but- "

"Wowowowow. Stop." – said "Kid", interrupting the dhampir.

"They are considering it? These motherfuckers?"

"These prideful motherfuckers? They have same amount of pride of if not more than fire dragon clan."

"I'm just saying what the reports has stated." – said the dhampir.

"…."

"Huh…."

(Well, honestly I doubt either nature dragon clan or light dragon clan really reply and saying that they would join the war.)

(I thought we had some chance with convincing some dragon tribes to join the war…. But I guess I was too hopeful about this.)

(Still, the organization is aware of our plans and we will be definitely getting a huge amount of support from them.)

(Some of these bastards may also decide to join in order to gain something from that war.)

"Welp, I guess we will just have to wait and see." – said "Kid" before then taking out a communication orb.

"…"

"What is? I'm busy." – said Phantasia as he answered the call.

"Sup. It is about the project…. How long until it will be completed?" – asked "Kid".

"Hm…."

"The project "Sky Behemoth" is proceeding as planned." – said Phantasia.

"At the rate things currently at, the project should be finished soon."

"We did ran into some problems, but nothing major or anything."

"We should be ready for the original date."

"Nice." – said excited "Kid".

"Then what about the homunculus project?"

"…"

"The project entered the last stage just now." – said Phantasia.

"It doesn't look like it will end up in the failure, meaning that once we get all the necessary date, we can finally begin mass producing the homunculus."

"However, they won't be able to join the war, since like I've said, they are people."

"Learning, developing and leveling up, all will take time."

"But we will be able to do it soon, right?" – asked "Kid".

"Affirmative." – replied Phantasia.

"Ohohoho! You fucking bastard! You are just keep giving me more and more good news! And you better keep it up!" – said excited "Kid".

"Well then, I won't be bothering you anymore. I just wanted to hear the progress regarding the project you had been working on."

"See ya." – said "Kid" before then hanging up the call.

"…"

"Sorry, what we were talking about again?" – asked Phantasia as he turned around.

"About a guild." – said Thanatos.

"When I've asked you about Arthur proposition you said straight up no."

"And then you said."

"Guild…. Huh? Maybe we will make one."

"Those were your words."

"What the hell do you mean by that? Are we finally recruiting enough people to form our own guild?" – asked Maparapara.

"Well…. The times are changing, if I'm honest." – said Phantasia.

"Did you saw how things are going in and outside this world?"

"Chaos."

"Total chaos everywhere."

"And honestly? I don't think it will be stopping anything time soon."

"In fact, we will soon end up pouring more fuel on that fire."

"And you said yourself something as well."

"Magnus and Arthur."

"Both of them became high enough threat to be considered as raid bosses."

"Yea…. Same as you." – said Thanatos.

"More monsters like bastards are showing up here and there." – said Phantasia.

"And this will only continue."

"Honestly, I'm confided in my strength."

"And I've recently even gotten an… "upgrade" per say."

"Still, there is only 3 of us."

"I can make us some soldiers and stuff."

"But we need "players"."

"And scumbags that can also be loyal."

"Uhu…. You know "scumbags" and "loyal" part isn't often going well together, right?" – asked Maraprapra.

"I mean, maybe you can "Buy" some people, since you are one of the best crafters in the game and such."

"But would that really make them complete loyal?"

"I mean, I've gotten you, right?" – replied Phantasia.

"I -Em – Wel….. Fuck you." – replied Maparapara who didn't knew what to say.

"Okay. So, you want to recruit somebody, right?" – said Thanatos.

"Any suggestion? Or you have somebody already caught in your gaze or maybe you had already sent some invitation out there?"

"Nope, nope and nope." – replied Phantasia.

"I've only decided to go with the "guild" plan about now if I'm honest."

"Eh? So, you don't have anybody?" – asked Thanatos.

"Nope." – replied Phantasia.

"That is why we need to look for somebody who is willing to join us."

"However, there are few problems."

"The first problem being the fact that we are part of the organization."

"If somebody were to come to our side, they would have to abandon the main connection with heaven, hell or spirits."

"Meaning that the players like demonic priest or the heavenly priest type of players are already off the list."

"Secondly problem is the control."

"We need somebody we can at least have a minimal control over."

"We can probably keep them in check with money and items, but some bastards are far too greedy and would just betray us for momentary gain."

"Meaning that the third problem would be recruiting a "smart" people."

"…"

"Okay, so we need: Smart person, a person that can be controlled, a person that doesn't have too deep connection with other realms and they also need to be either evil or be willing to become evil in order to be fine with our bullshit." – said Thanatos.

"Am I getting this correctly?"

"Yeb." – replied Phantasia.

"…"

"Well, it honestly won't be easy to fulfil all of those conditions…." – said annoyed Thanatos.

"Well, do you see any other way?" – asked Phantasia.

"…"

"Nope. I do not see one." – replied annoyed Thanatos.

"…"

"Anway, what was that about "upgrade"? What in the bloody hell you did this time?"

"Me? Nothing. Don't worry about this." – replied Phantasia.

"…"

"I'm not buying it." - replied both Thanatos and Maparapara.

"Common, you really don't trust me that much?" – asked Phantasia.

"Yes, we are." – replied two girls in sync.

"…"

"Meanies." – said Phantasia.

"Anyway, the new equipped that you had ordered me to make was already finished."

"Eve is currently holding onto them, so go and ask her."

"And yes, I've mad "THAT" equipment as well."

"Oh! You for fucking real?! Sweet!" – said excited slime girl.

"Yea, yea. Just remember to pay me later., unlike last time." – said Phantasia.

"Don't worry. Anyway, I'm going to check it out. SEE YA!" – said Maparapara before then quickly running off.

"…The hell did she ordered you to make?" – asked Thanatos with confused look.

"Em…. Something." – replied Phantasia.

"Anyway, you want something also to be made? I have some free time now."

"Nah…. Honestly, I'm just bored." – said Thanatos.

"I did everything I've had to do and honestly I'm wondering about just taking a longer break from the game."

"The whole sky whatever projectile will take sometime and the war isn't here yet, right?"

"Honestly, I've only came here for two things."

"The first was about the whole "guild" deal."

"And the second thing was about the future."

"?"

"The future?" – asked confused Phantasia.

"Yea….. I mean, what are you planning?" – asked Thanatos.

"I still can't predict on how you will act, since you are just a chaotic mad man or some shit…. But I can somewhat understand somethings about you."

"Specifically, I can tell you are planning something."

"Am I right?"

"And I'm not talking about that whole "Sky Behemoth" project."

"So, am I right or not?"

"…"

"Hm…."

"Hard to say, buddy." – said Phantasia as he walked up to Thanatos.

"But I'm going to say this."

"YES."

"I'm planning on something, but not working on it."

"On what you ask?"

"Meh."

"Secret."

"Not telling you yet."

"…"

"…"

"What? No more questions?" – asked Phantasia.

"No." – replied Thanatos.

"Because I can now tell you are planning something big and nasty."

"…"

"And honestly speaking?"

"I'm looking forward to this surprise." – said Thanatos before then logging off.

"…"

(Heh….. Oh, you don't need to worry.) – thought Phantasia.

(You say you know me, but I also know you and Maparapara.)

(I know how much you changed and how big of "evil bastards" you two became.)

(And that little surprise of mine?)

(Oh, you will like it.)

(EVERBODY WILL LIKE IT!)

"…"

(But not now.)

(The timing isn't right.)

(None of these bastards realized yet that I'm putting my own "puzzles" around.)

(And once all of them are placed.)

(This entire world will be engulfed in a chaos.)
