Abonta is Dead, Guys

Generally in our lives we come across many different of people. Some good, Some bad, Some ugly, some pretty, Some honest, some deceitful, treacherous, strong,weak, etc. But here, in this stadium ,there were 10000 same kind of people. People who needed to die. People who were tired of living an agonizing life to the ones who thought that life has no meaning so we should do as we wish. Was our protagonist one of them? Yes. She needed to die. To be happy. To be free from a world which brings her pain. What pain? We have already seen that she isn't exactly suffering. She's suffering from success? Nope. Maybe.. but the thing is life can always become worse.

Well, the two landed in the centre of the stadium and killed some and injured several people. The rest weren't too happy. Just like an 6'11 foot giant who was terribly angry about the fact that he got hurt because of two numbskulls.

"Hey! What the hell is wrong with you all?! Can't you see where you're landing?! My poor poochie got hurt!" His precious little pooches in question was an old hawk. Real cute. This giant in question was Abonta. Weird name, right? This guy was one of the stupidest people you could have possibly met but also the strongest of the Sand people.

Hye-Rin got up and looked at him, irritated. Honestly, such people are too tiresome to deal with. The Shuffle hasn't even started yet but I already feeling like.. calm down. Deep breaths. We're trying to suppress our anger issues not express them. "I'm sorry, big guy. This idiot threw me out of the window." She spoke pointing at Yun-suk. Yun-suk could barely open his eyes until he heard the allegations against but before he could say a word, Abonta grabbed him by the neck and threw him across the stadium. The guards went to Yun-suk's aid.

"As for you..", Abonta spoke to Rin, "..don't you think it's wise if little girls like you didn't-" slash. Plop. Boom, he fell to the ground. His poochie was not missed either. "Oh who cares..", she groaned.

Finally, after some time, all the people for the Shuffle were finally properly gathered at the centre of the stadium as the announcer started to speak. "The worshipped and holy, The Eternally Divines, Ladies, Gentlemen, Leaders, Children, people from all paths, welcome to The Grand Shuffle! " the crowd cheered. "This year, we have..well..uh.. had a mass total of 10,000 people which has reduced to 9987 people due to untimely death of some contestants. Well, anywho, this year is about to be crazy~!! This year, we have 20 extraordinary, blacklisted contenders, top tier murderers and killers, spies, including the great former general in command of the path of the Royalty, HAN HYE-RIN! " The crowd screamed with joy. People loved powerful people, some wanted to be them, some envied them, some were big fans. But for a thing like Shuffle, which people love to watch for the contenders and the bloodshed, they were happy to see a war criminal, mass murderer, the "Adolf Hitler" of this world stand in a pit where death is the only survival.

Hye-Rin glanced at the people who sat there, watching her, praising her, and amongst the crowd of the excited, she saw the man. The man she loved, the man she cared for. The people who the path of Royalty weren't too happy to see their great general stand in the pit, but some were excited because people are crazy. But this man, he wasn't happy at all, not excited, but afraid. Kai... if only I could be with you once again.. I love you.. the look in his eyes was the same, filled with a sense of uncertainty and love. And Yun-suk's eyes were filled with annoyance.

"Can all participants please walk towards the awakened portal?" The announcer spoke. The contestants walked towards the portal and slowly, one by one each of them was sent in. Yun-suk had already walked in. As Hye-rin's turn arose, she felt her head spinning, her thoughts all dangled up. Unknown voices and whispers, distorted memories, emotions, the Eternally Divines... everything was everywhere and nothing was nowhere. What is happening...

Voices chanted what must be done, will be done. The sinner will pay for the crimes commuted. What must be done, will be done. The sinner will pay for the crimes committed.

A beautiful voice, enchanting in every sense, the embodiment of melody. In this world, everyone's a sinner of some kind. No slate is clean, no one is holy. Everyone has done something to pay a price for. So have I, so have we, so have you...Hye-Rin..

You WILL PAY for THE SIN.
