"God fucking dammit." – said ClownFrog.

"What? Is something wrong?" – asked Blueberry as she and ClownFrog who were both in their human/humanoid forms were walking through the castle grounds, just taking a stroll.

"Well... A freaking lot, if I’m honest." – replied ClownFrog.

"More and more questions... While also other bastards are doing random shit or spouting some conspiracy theories regarding us."

"I know we are making progress, but at the same time it feels like we are walking in circles, while also having to deal with additional bullshit on the way."

"Not only that, but several nations are somewhat wanting to ’talk’.... Which is just a bullshit and they want to put some political pressure on us."

"I wouldn’t be surprised if they are right now painting us in the bad light and what not for their advantage."

"Well, they are maybe looking also for excuse to destroy us."

"We are one of the empires that appeared way too quickly and grew way too powerful under everybody noses."

"..."

"And the system barrier is straight up over already."

"It has only single month left."

"The moment it disappears, shit may as well go down."

"Honestly speaking, I’m surprised that it is already over.... 3 years... I mean, time here moves way faster, but the time here is still freaking 3 years." – said Blueberry.

"The times.... Well? It flew before we knew it."

"Still, the empire somewhat stabilized, didn’t it?"

"But not completely." – said ClownFrog.

"There are still people trying to rebel and we still have large number of bandits on the loose."

"We are managing a whole fucking continent which was once filled with greedy and over prideful nations."

"We needed and still need to show our cruelty in order to deal with those bastards from rampaging, which somewhat worked.... But again, there are still a lot of freaking idiots."

"We maybe consider ’evil’ because of what methods we are using to somewhat stabilize this entire nation and continent, but fucking still! We are straight up repairing everything those idiots did."

"..."

"There are only two explanation for it."

"Some idiots are doing stupid shit without really looking at the reality of situation."

"Or somebody is manipulating ignorant people to do their bidding." – said Blueberry.

"Yeah... And the fact that we haven’t caught anybody like that or found any hints would mean that they are good at their job.... And that they are either part of our empire or have somebody from our side helping them out."

"So we have already traitor problem?" – asked Blueberry.

"Pretty much." – replied ClownFrog.

"....And there is also the dragon empire.... Their movements has been somewhat weird for some time now."

*Sigh*

"What about.... The eggs?" – asked ClownFrog as he sat down on the bench after the duo arrived at the garden.

"...They.... Well? They should be soon hatching." – replied Blueberry as she sat beside ClownFrog.

"Both mine and Aworia’s."

"Heh.... I still honestly don’t know how to feel about this.... I mean... I will be a mom..."

"In game... But still..."

"..."

(But are we talking here about "in game children"? Or "real children"?) – thought worried ClownFrog.

(I still don’t know what this world is.)

(Avriones.)

(Is this really a world of a game?)

(Or maybe it is something different?)

(I’ve seen it.)

(This game influencing the "outside world".)

(I don’t know.)

(I’ve murdered millions at this point... Be it NPCs or monsters... I’m a murder.)

(...Still, I don’t feel bad about it.)

(Is this because I still don’t know if this world is real or not?)

"...."

(No....)

(It is just my humanity that is crumbling away.)

(Maybe I’m used to slaughtering people like livestock now?)

(...Fuck me.)

"?"

"Is everything alright?" – asked concerned Blueberry.

"Nope.... Just.... *Sigh*.... I really need to find a time to rest." – said ClownFrog as one of the maids suddenly appeared and approached the pair.

"Empress Bluberry. The time has come." – said the vampire maid.

"Oh! Right! I straight up forgotten about heating up the eggs!" – said Blueberry as she stood up in panic.

"Sorry. But I need to take care of eggs! We will talk later! Bye!" – said Blueberry as she quickly left the garden.

"..."

"Your majesty? Are you ill?" – asked the maid.

"Again. I’m just... Never mind." – said ClownFrog who didn’t knew what to say as he gotten up.

"Is there anything else? Do you have some message for me?" – asked ClownFrog as he turned towards the maid.

"No... There is nothing that requires your direct attention." – replied the maid.

"I see..." – said ClownFrog as he walked past the maid while patting her on her shoulders, before then ClownFrog headed right back to his office.

"..."

"..."

"Emperor... Huh?" – said ClownFrog as he approached his desk.

(Why I’m even here?)

(At first, I just wanted to have fun.... Then I wanted to let lose, realizing that my good nature was straight up brining me nothing but suffering....)

(But then.... This game straight up became way of getting revenge.... And I needed to take it beyond serious in order to crush SunShadow.)

(The Garog kingdom and then Garog empire.... They were made as the tools to bring the revenge.)

(But then, the mystery of this world.... The mystery of this whole reality.... It should attacked us.)

(We have no choice but to discover the truth... )

(But what about fun?)

(What about "going lose"?)

(Or about fucking revenge?!)

(THOSE WERE OUR ORGINAL GOALS!)

(WHY THE FUCK ARE WE NOW FORCED TO DO SOMETHING WE DIDN’T WANTED TO DO?!)

(We wanted to be fucking villains!)

(WE WANTED TO BE THE FUCKING PURE EVIL!)

(THE REAL BOSSES OF THIS FUCKING GAME!)

(WE WANTED TO HAVE FUN!)

(THAT WAS IT!)

(SO WHY THE FUCK ARE WE STUCK DOING THIS SHIT INSTEAD?!)

(And the worst fucking part?)

(WE ARE FUCKING SMART!)

(Even though I knew I sounded completely crazy back then, everybody trusted me and put two and two together, realizing that I was speaking truth!)

(AND THAT IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM TOO!)

(WE KNOW THIS ISN’T SOME KIND OF SCHEME FROM COMPANY! SINCE WHAT WE SEEN SO FAR WOULD BE ENOUGH TO HAVE THAT ENTIRE FIRM STRAIGHT UP BE CALLED WORLD WIDE TERRORISTS!)

(We fucking realized that the company that made Avriones isn’t messing with us. It is not their doing.)

(Because we are fucking smart, we realized that we are fucking stuck in some fucked up paranormal conspiracy!)

(...And there is also that thing.)

(We don’t even know what it is.)

(It appeared when Sloth was revealing stuff to me.... And I think it may had appeared again while GreyHunt was obtaining some information.)

(That thing.... It could had killed us.)

(Not just in game, but in real life.)

(I could straight up tell that.... MY BODY COULD TELL THAT!)

(But is that thing only in game? Or maybe it is also in reality?)

(We did suspected somewhat company to behind this, and because of that we are wary of any electronical devices that could be hacked and made to overhear us talking.... But at this point? I don’t know.)

(Maybe we never had to worry about it in the first place.... But again, what was that monster?)

(Is company that made Avriones the ones behind that thing? Maybe they really can hack our electric devices?)

(I don’t have any blood clues regarding that bullshit.)

(And it is better if we play it safe for the time being, until we confirm that we are truly safe.)

(And for that, we need to play Sloth’s puppets and collect the Forgotten World items.)

(GreyHunt obtained some truth from fallowing her words... But still, we don’t know if we can trust her or any true sins and true virtues.)

(...Not only that, we need to get stronger in game if we want to obtain the truth.)

"..."

"Fuck me."

"I really didn’t wanted to do it now of all the freaking times."

"But based on how things are going.... I really have no choice but to do it."

"Its time to try beating that Lich Lord’s Tomb once again."
