Arcana Mob

" Hisss…."

Everyone took a deep breath.

Just what kind of a mess they had just gotten into?

Looking at the headless corpse of their friend, and knowing the fact that they could be next, some of the delinquents couldn't even hold their calm anymore and fell to their knees as they peed themself.

Grigory who had just killed one of the delinquents returned to his original calm face as if nothing important had happened. His calm expression was as if saying that they were nothing more than an ant in his eyes.

As everyone stayed silent and the atmosphere turned into a very quiet one, Grigory gave a satisfied nod.

" Well, that's good. Even though you guys are the guest, guest also should mind their manner in front of the homeowner."

" Well, since everybody was here, how about we played some games? It's just a simple game called question and answers. Of course, there is no reward in answering the questions right, but if in the case that you answer them wrong….."

Grigory then burst into a wave of eery laughter as everyone were having a pale face.

Everyone was trying their best to hold their breath as they didn't want to annoy Grigory.

But here, Cade had a different response. From the beginning, his focus had never been placed on the words that Grigory said.

In fact, the moment Grigory appeared, his eyes had been glimmered with lights.

Obviously, he was astonished. But nonetheless, he just couldn't deny the fact that this might be the event that the countdown had been talking about.

Right now, Cade couldn't be more familiar with the one that looked like a maniac in front of him.

Grigory Euclid, one of the most mysterious characters in a game that he had played before.

To be honest, if not for the pretty iconic place and Grigory's appearance, even Cade might have not noticed this. After all, it had been such a long time since he played that game, and he wasn't some kind of no-life bastard who played a single game for more than 1000 hours, trying to complete all the routes and easter eggs.

<<Arcana Heart>>

It was the name of the game. The game itself was a galge game which the main protagonist, which would later enter one of the most prestigious universities on the whole continent to save the world from the threats of monsters.

But of course, along the way, the protagonist would meet a lot of possible heroines, and make all of them fall in love with him according to the routes he took. There were also some bad endings, but maybe because the game's focus was split into two for the RPG theme of battling with arcana and romance, the romance part wasn't necessarily that hard, and the protagonist could get the capture's target heart easily even with the simplest thing like returning a lost wallet.

Now that he thought about it, Cade really wanted to give a smack to whoever had transported him to this world. Not only did he need to face the bullying in his everyday life, but he was also thrown into a monstrosity of a galge game?

Nonetheless, it is not like he had any capability to complain. He could only blame himself for not having enough power to resist his fate.

Back to the main point, Grigory is a unique character.

He was neither a protagonist nor an antagonist and not in both capm either. Rather, his appearance in the cannon was almost as close to none. However, Grigory was one of the most essential characters for the players.

It was because Grigory only appeared after the players paid some currency to unlock the special room, and there Grigory would appear with his Guillotines and some special functions.

Of course, there were some questions regarding why Grigory was there and what's his goal. Nonetheless, Cade couldn't give any more shit about those.

Because Grigory was now walking in his direction. And behind him were the headless corpses of the few delinquents underlings.

Just now, Grigory asked some simple questions to them like "The more of this there is, the less you see". But because they were too nervous, almost none of the delinquents here could answer Grigory's questions.

Cade was caught right in the middle, where behind him was the trembling delinquents' leader, and the one in front of him was the terrifying Grigory.

" Kid, I see you didn't tremble like the others. It seems you have some nerve here."

Grigory chuckled. He didn't actually care whether Cade was scared or not. After all, from the beginning, he had never intended to let any of the people that came here left.

The only reason that the protagonist could leave Grigory's place safely was because of the intervention of the will of the world, but now Cade also believed that he had something that could save him from getting a stupid death in this place.

One by One, the delinquents were killed by Grigory. He didn't care whether the question was answered or not, the moment the delinquent hesitate, Grigory didn't waste any time to kill them. Looking at the way he killed them, it was a bit questionable whether Grigory really saw them as human beings.

Time passed, and it was finally Cade's turn.

He was still racking his brain hard about how to escape this place safely. And all of a sudden, a sound resounded within his mind.

[ DING!!! Singularity detected: Grigory.]

[ Proceed with the binding of Grigory to the host.]

[ DING!!! The transmigration gift has exhausted all of its energy for binding Grigory. Initiating sleep mode.]

The sound was simple yet unclear. Nonetheless, to Cade it was like a saving Grace.
