A Cry For Hope

Lily: varakiel, sorry to interrupt, but there's an emergency.

Varakiel: an emergency? What happened? Is anyone hurt?

Lily: no in fact, is nothing related to anyone you know.

Varakiel:...then what kind of emergency is it?

Lily: a world as requested for immediate assistance.

Varakiel: what? immediate assistance? What happened?

Lily:....this world…is losing its hope.

Varakiel: it 's hope…?

Varakiel remains silent for a long time.

Varakiel: I think I get it but I need more information.

Lily: Of course, this world is earth in the distant future…the world is referred to as Nikke.

Varakiel: like the goddess?

Lily: Indeed,

Varakiel: So about it's hope.

Lily: This world is on the verge of completely losing hope, just barely a small number of people hold on to it briefly, and just a several of them hold on it strongly, but it is not enough.

Varakiel: How many people are we talking about?

Lily: varakiel…there's barely 6 million humans remaining on that world….

Varakiel: t-that bad!?

Lily: Indeed, shall I give you a summary of the known history of that world?

Varakiel: Please do so…only 6 million…what happened….

…..

Lily: That's all that is known so far…

Varakiel: invaders….are they man-made or come from somewhere else?

Lily: That's unknown too.

Varakiel: So these "nikkes" are the only way to fight them?

Lily: Indeed, actually the holders of hope are mostly nikke's as well.

Varakiel: So humans have lost hope and they rely…no they use them to cope with their situation?

Lily:....varakiel despite what you might think-

Varakiel: I know lily, i might hate people like that but I don't generalize. I know there's still good people there.

Lily: I am sorry, is just that….it enrages me as well that they don't mourn the sacrifice of these people.

Varakiel: So what does the world want me to do? 

Lily: bring hope to the world again.

Varakiel: Is that all?

Lily:.....me and the system also have a personal request ...rescue all the nikkes you can ...save them ...please.

Varakiel:.....i promise…nikkes uh….

Varakiel then remembers people like the cursed children from black bullet.

Varakiel: humanity….you are always the same.

…..

Lily: varakiel due to the nature of this world…..i am afraid to say that you can only take a spirit with you…i am sorry but the mana on this world is barely enough to connect a traveling portal.

Varakiel: That low….what about my magic attacks?

Lily: that as well would be greatly affected, but with the help of a spirit you will be capable of solving any situation….also i recommend you to take gnome with you.

Varakiel: gnome? why?

Lily: you'll understand when you get there.

Varakiel: very well….anything else?

Lily: i also recommend you to take over the protagonist role…the main plot of this world begins with the protagonist in a dead state, he would be resurrected soon, but he suffers memory loss, so you taking over wouldn't affect much, also your difference of attitude can only improve the future of that world a 100%...we will also provide you with information about the future while the system investigates more of this world, with a price of course.

Varakiel: s-so much…is this world that important?

Lily: yes….me and the system feel bad about how nikkes are treated as tools, for now you should keep a low profile but if it's to save a life….

Varakiel: don't doubt to use all my strength is it? hehe you know me lily, i can't let the innocent suffer in front of me.

Lily: hehe, that's true, i am sorry, i just forgot for a moment what kind of person you are varakiel.

Varakiel: alright let me tell everyone first then we can begin.

Lily: eh!? y-you are doing it right now!?

Varakiel: of course you seem to care a lot about this world….and besides you and the system have helped me a ton non-stop i want to repay everything you have done for me accordingly.

Lily:.....thank you.

…..

Varakiel: and that's how it is.

Rias: 6-6 millions!!?

Akeno: oh my, that's really bad…

asia: oh lord…

alice: is really that bad?

Luka: i don't know

Ruka: me too…

Varakiel: you see this world total population is around 7 billion, and that world was not different.

Luka: from 7 billion to 5 million….

Alice, luka and ruka shivers in shock.

Varakiel: i know is truly shocking.

Alice: so much death….

Kiba: indeed, is horrible…

koneko: then what is sensei going to do?

Varakiel: i am going to that world right now is clear that the situation can´t go on.

Luka: l-let me go with you big brother.

Varakiel: i am afraid you can't do that, i can only bring an spirit with me, the mana on that world is very low.

Alice: is that so, then we will stay here while you're away.

Varakiel: mhm, i leave here to you, don't worry i lend lily my future plans for here take a look on them when you have time, also (undine i am sorry but you'll have to go back)

Undine:(don't worry dear if that child said you should take gnome is for your safety after all, you'll be weakened for a while so be careful and don't be reckless…..not too much atleast.)

Varakiel: (hehe, you know me too well)

Lily: (varakiel i already relied the message to gnome she will join you while you go into the portal)

Varakiel: (alright) then i am going off everyone.

Koneko and ophis pounces on varakiel.

Ophis: be….careful.

Koneko: be careful sensei, i will never forgive you if you never come back.

Varakiel: hehe, ill see you later don't worry.

*BZZZT*

the portal opens up.

Varakiel: then, i am off.

Luka: take care big brother.

Ruka: bring us back a lot of gifts when you come back!

Alice: i will only allow 2 gir-

Varakiel: what did you said alice i can't hear you the static of the portal is too loud! see you!!

varakiel then jumps into the portal

Alice: you dam—
