Sadistic Player In A Fantasy Game World

Code Name: Thanatos

"So you're saying that you guys fought against man-eating ghouls?" asked Ria for something like the hundredth time, unable to believe that the two girls in front of her were capable of doing such a thing.

"And explain your power to me again, you say your immortal?" asked Agent Ria, looking at the frail woman wearing glasses with skepticism.

"Y-yes. Look," said the woman before stabbing herself in the neck.

"No what the hell are yo-" Agent Ria stopped what she was about to say when she saw the deep cut on the woman's neck close up as if it had never been there in the first place.

"I-Immortal. Okay, but that still doesn't explain how you killed all those ghouls. You guys said that there were at least a thousand of them. Are you saying that you're so skilled at fighting that you were able to deal with all of them by yourself?" asked Ria.

However the woman simply pointed to the little girl playing with her dolls on the table.

"What? Are you saying she did it?" asked Ria, pinching her nose in exhaustion.

'I need to rest,' thought Agent Ria before turning to the little girl.

"Suzzie, can you focus on me for a few minutes please," asked Ria in the sweetest voice she could muster, dealing with children clearly wasn't her strong suit.

"Okay," replied the little girl, still playing with the dolls.

"Clare explained her side of the story, but you are yet to tell your side. How did you survive against the scary monsters?" asked Ria, still using her sweet voice.

"They weren't scary. Mommy and Daddy took care of them easy, but the other people kept running instead of bashing them, so they ended up dying. That was pretty dumb of them if you ask me," replied Suzzie in her cute childish voice, a messed up smile on her face as she remembered the carnage.

"Mommy and Daddy? Where are your mommy and daddy then?" asked Ria, goosebumps appearing on her skin once again as she saw the girl's smile.

"They're here, but you can only see them if I call them," replied the little girl still playing with her dolls.

"Can you call them for me th-" before Ria could finish her sentence the frail woman wearing glasses began shaking her head profusely, urging Ria not to finish her sentence.

"Are you sure you want me to call them here? They're still pretty angry because I haven't found good friends for them to play with," said Suzzie for the first time looking up at Ria, her smile evoking a sense of fear in everyone in the room.

"N-no. That's okay. So Suzzie, what did you say your powers were again?" asked Ria trying to change the subject.

"Oh, I don't have any powers. I'm too young to have them," replied Suzzie before continuing to play with her dolls on the table.

'This is going nowhere. I'll just have to send them on a mission and have someone follow them to report on their results,' thought Ria before pulling out a yellow file from her drawer.

"The government has tasked me with creating an elite squad to maintain order within the town. This new division will also deal with the clearance of ruins, dungeons, and tower floors, as it has been reported that monsters begin to come out of these structures if left unchecked," said Ria, reading off the file she had placed in front of her.

"Complying with new government protocols, all personal will be given a rating based on the effectiveness of their abilities. Only personnel with a rating of B and above will be considered to join this new division. Measurement of effectivity will be decided based on merit, and since you two completed a tower floor you are automatically B rank." continued Ria, looking up to see the two girls' reactions.

However Suzzie didn't seem to be paying attention, and the frail woman kept shivering and looking around the room awkwardly.

'I really need to find that kid,' thought Agent Ria before continuing with what she was saying.

"By order of the Government of Clarmbia, on behalf of the president, I, Captain Ria Ardiento head of the Emergency Response Division, now call the Special Division code name: Thanatos into operation, with Suzzie and Clare being its first members," said Ria as if on oath.

"For your first mission, you two will take on an F difficulty dungeon along with one other officer. You are to keep the officer alive at all costs and complete the mission as quickly as possible, compensation will be given on adequate completion of the mission. Meeting adjourned," said Ria, standing up from her seat with a sigh of relief.

'I didn't think I would survive all that,' thought Agent Ria as she walked out the door.

"Are you sure you don't want to be friends with Mommy and Daddy? You seemed quite strong," whispered Suzzie, this time her voice sounded cold, nothing like what a kid should've sounded like.

"Like I would ever want to play with those two eyesores. But still, for a kid your acting is pretty spot-on, who would've thought that they were making a deal with a little devil like you." laughed Clare, her once frail demeanor taking a complete 180.

"You're a pretty good actor yourself. I was wondering why you were acting so weak,"

"Well, it's easier to gain their trust if they don't see us as a threat. Anyway, just stay out of my way on this mission, we aren't friends never forget that,"

"Whatever," replied Suzzie before standing up from her seat.

"Oh and one more thing, don't show them too much on the first mission, or they might start overworking us. I don't want to do extra work for the same pay just because of you."
