Halloween Event: before

[announcement: there is a Halloween Event coming soon.]

[announcement: the details about the Halloween Event are going to be given by Zeus.]

Beau is on patrol with Self-Bet. they are on the boundary of the city. Self-Bet asks him about their date. he smiles and looks away.

Beau never expected to be happy by feeling all of this strange feelings deep inside of him. for so long he lived without any desire to know about things like love. he never thought that it will come the day in which love was everything to him.

Self-Bet is trying to act normal. she doesn't know what to do, she has never had a romantic partner before. this is the first time that she is walking around with a boyfriend, with a man who she loves.

Bigotes and Organic Florist are walking towards them. Organic Florist ask them if they know anything about the announcement about the Halloween event.

Bigotes is eating a bigote (that is how is called a bread filled with chocolate.) Organic Florist asks for a bite. Bigotes tells him to get his own bread. Organic Florist is angry.

Beau drinks an energy drink. he tells them to be alert. this world is a twisted world in which an event like the Halloween event may be dangerous.

Self-Bet looks at a zombie and she shots at it in the head. four more zombies are walking towards them. she shoots at them in the head. Beau looks at her and then at the dead zombies.

Bigotes takes a cup of coffee out of his inventory. he starts drinking his coffee. he tells them that he has notice a change in the mood of some of their members. what he wants to say is that is probable that one of them is going to leave the guild.

Organic Florist confirms that one of them doesn't seem to like how things are going. he suspects that she is going to give up soon. he speaks in a melancholic tone which isn't his style.

Beau tells him to not worry. if someone wants to leave is because that person has a reason and they have to respect their wishes. Beau tells Self-Bet that they should return. he has a feeling that something big is going to happen.

Organic Florist tells them that Zeus called all the captains of every guild to a meeting tonight at eight o'clock. Beau asks if Joaquin is going to go. Organic Florist nods.

Self-Bet can see that there is dissatisfaction on Beau's face. she pulls him. he looks at her with teary eyes. she kisses him with passion and he answers back forgetting about the two guys who are watching them.

Beau asks about the tasks on the latest chapter. she tells him that everything is fine. the four of them leave with direction towards their guild building.

Bigotes was worry for all his teammates. they all seem like nice guys. he can feel that this event is going to be big and he is afraid that some of them might not make it alive.

right now on the center of the city; Choco-Coco-Latte, Doctor Middle Finger, Peace Inn and the Good Twin are eating on a nice restaurant. Choco-Coco-Latte has started a friendship with the Good Twin. his sister is still angry at Choco-Coco-Latte and she might never forgive him ever.

Doctor Middle Finger tells them that he is worry about the Halloween event. he tells them that he asked to some NPCs and he was told that the event is going to start in two days. they were never told about this event until now and he fears that there is a reason.

Peace Inn confesses that after what happened on the Secret Chamber incident she has doubts about keep fighting. Peace Inn tells them that she never expected to kill in order to survived and she is afraid of turning into a monster. she doesn't want to do wrong to others for her own survival. that is not her.

Doctor Middle Finger tells her that he understands. Doctor Middle Finger knows that everyone in there has the same fear, the fear that at the end of the race everyone is going to be corrupted by the road they are walking.

in a world with no law it is easy to be corrupted, but once corrupted it is impossible to recover your self. once corrupted there is nothing left of you to save. those who took the easier route knew that and they didn't wanted to deal with bullshit like morals, but those that took the harder way will find it on the road harder and harder to stay sane or unstained by this world.

Peace Inn is eating with a fake smile. it is hard for her to stay calm when she knows now that there are going to be more situations. in which she is going to stained her hands with the blood of others, others who also want to survive as much as she want to.

the Good Twin suspected about that since the beginning, but when he became part of the Fallen Heroes at first was because his sister made him believe that with stronger members they didn't need to worry about taking the life of someone else. it was until the chapter five incident that he opened his eyes to the truth. it was until he was about to be killed that he saw that in this world the word 'innocence' is a myth.

the place becomes silent for no reason. Doctor Middle tells them that he has important things to do. he stands up and leaves. he is follow by Peace Inn. Doctor Middle tells her that he needs to be alone. Peace Inn answers by saying that she also needs to be alone.

Choco looks at the Good Twin. he thought that he was going to follow the others. Choco tells him that he is scare of 'his brains-shake-mad bitch sister.' the Good Twin laughs loudly. he knows that his sister is hard to understand and that she has a nasty personality.

Choco looks at a shadow and in a corner, there she is to torture his soul like every evening or every afternoon. there is no end to the opportunities that her illusion uses to hurt him. she is the shadow that follows from the sunrise to the sunset.

there are times in which he wants to cry and then there are times in which he wants to smile. he is still confuse about the meaning of her becoming his shadow. is she in there to torture his soul or is she in there to bring peace to his trouble soul?

Choco looks at her with love and sorrow on his eyes. he wants to call her and run towards her. he wants to hug her and feel her and not just the emptiness of her absence. he wants to believe that she is in there, but how can that be when he knows that she is dead. she is gone.

there are tears falling from his eyes. he wants to scream. why is that not even in here is he able to forget about her? why is that he keeps watching her everywhere that he goes? she is a part of him.

Good Twin is looking at him. he can tell that there is a ghost hurting his wounded soul. Choco looks at the table. Good Twin asks him if he wants to talk about it.

"are you watching the phantom of someone from your past?"

asks Good Twin with curiosity.

"yes, how do you know? who told you?"

said Choco with teary eyes.

"we all have phantoms. some take a physical form, there are some that come at times, some that come often and others that are eternal."

said Good Twin looking away.

Choco leaves money on the table. he stands up and walks away slowly. once he is outside he closes his eyes, he falls on the floor and he screams with desperation.

Good Twin is behind of him. he offers to listen to his sorrows. Choco cleans the tears from his eyes. he looks behind to the Good Twin. Choco stands up and he is just in there watching him quietly. no one says nothing. after five minutes they leave together.

"she was the love of my life, she was my everything and I lost her. I blame myself for not being capable of saving her or for been the one who sentenced her to her end. if there was anything that I would do different if I could..... I can sell my soul just for her to be what she is not, alive."

said Choco as he felt like he was releasing some of the weight that was on his shoulders.

"you don't have to explain everything to me. just let me help you. you need help. you can't deal with all of that by yourself, that is going to break you if you don't let anyone help you."

yields the Good Twin desperate to help.

later on the center of the city at the Zeus Tower, every leader of every guild was arriving. some walked with secrecy avoiding a conflict, others walked with the trust that no one would dare to touche them inside of the Zeus Tower.

this was an unique moment in which leaders or representatives of the Guilds alike could walk freely without to fear for their lives. even when they knew that they could walk peacefully, there was still some nervousness at every step.

among the mortals who where inside of the building some of them were; Joaquin Fernandez, Man with no Face, Master of Lies, Femina Lurem, Rotto Mentalita, Frigus, Cabra-Head, Cake Eater, Tantum, and Metal Head.

Joaquin was feeling a bit of fear, his paranoia was knocking on the door. he wanted to get the hell out of this death trap. he knew that some of the guys inside of the Zeus Tower aren't noble people, they are rats capable of getting their hands dirty if that means to get the wanted outcome.

Joaquin feels a cold hand on his shoulder, he turns around to be welcome by Master of Lies who was standing in front of him with a warm smile. it was like if he had forgotten of all the shit that he did.

Joaquin was about to do something, but then he saw what was happening. this man wanted to manipulate his feelings. if Joaquin commits a mistake in here Master of Lies would have won without even getting his hands dirty. that man was brutally smart, too smart for his own good.

Joaquin gives two steps back with a force smile. he was about to avoid any trouble until he heard Master of Lies murmuring. Joaquin looks furiously at Master of Lies. he is staring at him furiously with so much rage that he could kill him at any moment.

"did I say anything wrong? I mean I am just been honest."

said Master of Lies in mocking tone of voice.

"you are garbage. you are so fucking dead. you better pray to never meet me out of this place, because the moment that our eyes meet is the moment you will give your last breathe. I swear upon the graves of my fallen brothers on arms."

yields Joaquin with all his rage.

after recovering his composure he was breathing slowly. he looks around at the people looking at him. he felt nervous knowing that even him can be easily manipulated by a monster like Master of Lies, he can't believe how is that he didn't notice before that it isn't a human, but a monster.

"the world belongs to the strong of mind, fate and body. if you aren't either then you are just wasting your time and the time of those around of you. don't waste mine please."

said Master of Lies with a friendly smile.

Master of Lies walks away from him. Cabra-Head walks towards Joaquin and he offered his partnership on this battle of powers. Master of Lies had some doubts about accepting his help, he looks at other people and nothing seemed to be strange. he accepts.

Cabra-Head tells him that he met some of the members of his guild on a bar. he admits that they gave him such a good impression that he wanted to know more about them, and he wanted to know more about this strong guild.

if it wasn't absolutely obvious let's emphasize on a factor on his 'generosity' in that is his curiosity. once he is curious about something he doesn't stop until he knows what he needs to know. he wants to befriend them because he is curious about their members.

while some were arguing and others starting a conversation Zeus entered on his own Tower. everyone kneels and they all look quietly at the Deity. Zeus looks at all the representatives of each guild. he ask them all to listen to him.

"I will start by talking about the Halloween Event. in some days the city will become a war zone in which you will have to fight against many types of Zombies. soldier zombies, gardener zombies, teacher zombies, kid zombies and etc. now the point of this even is to survived for forty-eight hours."

said Zeus in a serious tone.

everyone was listening clearly. some of them felt horrible and others excited about the event. some of them asked questions. Zeus looked at the faces of all of them.

"I don't care if you die or survive. just to be clear many of you are already dead."

said Zeus with a cold tone of voice and a cold gaze.

[announcement: the Gracious Zeus has given you five days to be ready.]

[announcement: the Halloween Special Event is now official. wait for further instructions about the event which will take place in five days.]
