Chapter 12: The Call for Help & The Dark Awakening

The Grand Meeting Hall – Frinklins of Gods HQ

The grand chandeliers flickered, casting ominous shadows over the tense faces gathered at the round table. Lukashi, Adnan, and Kyuki sat among the murmuring guild members, their focus unshaken as they planned their next move. The air was thick with uncertainty, with whispers of fear spreading like wildfire—rumors of growing dangers, of a sinister force lurking beyond their valley.

🔥 Adnan (serious, leaning forward): "Lukashi, you're growing stronger every day, but we can't just focus on ourselves. We have to think about the weaker players too."

😈 Lukashi (smirking, folding his arms): "You're right. Have you heard the news? Over the past two months, so many D and C-rank players have committed suicide. They couldn't handle the pressure of this game."

😡 Kyuki (clenching fists): "Weaklings are just stepping stones in this world. That's how it works."

😤 Adnan (firmly, shaking his head): "No, Kyuki. That's exactly the kind of thinking that makes this world hell for them. If we ignore their suffering, we're no different from those who see them as disposable."

Before the conversation could escalate further, Aiko suddenly rushed in, her expression urgent.

💌 Aiko (panting, eyes wide): "Guys! I found a voice message at the game's post office. And you won't believe who it's from…"

😨 Adnan (stiffening): "Don't tell me—"

😲 Lukashi & Kyuki (simultaneously, eyes narrowing): "The Ottaman Guild… from Angels Valley?!"

😱 Aiko (nodding): "Yes… And you need to hear this."

The Message from the Lost Valley

She pressed play on the device. A weak, static-laced voice filled the room.

📜 Moras, Leader of the Ottaman Guild (weak and desperate):"Hello… If someone is listening to this… please help us. I am Moras, leader of the Ottaman Guild. After the fall of Angels Valley… over 2 million players perished in the battle. Those of us who survived are now trapped in the Demons Valley. Mecking… he's planning something. He wants to take control of all valleys and rule this game as a god. If anyone can stop him, it's the players from Gods Valley… because you still have S-rank warriors among you. This might be the last message I ever send. If you receive this… please, don't let us die in vain."

🔴 The message cut off, leaving the room in heavy silence.

😤 Adnan (standing up, slamming his fist on the table): "So some of the players from Angels Valley are still alive… Then we HAVE to help them!"

🤔 Lukashi (leaning back, lost in thought): "I want to… but what about my training?"

👴 Kyuki (crossing his arms): "If you want to become truly powerful, you must also learn to protect those who cannot protect themselves."

Lukashi stared at Kyuki for a moment, memories of his past suffering and losses flooding his mind. His fists clenched.

💢 Lukashi (determined, fire in his eyes): "Alright… We'll go. We'll save them."

Mission Begins – The Black Panther's Stealth Operation

Before setting off, Lukashi summoned one of his most favorite pet gifted from kyuki—his Black Panther, Kuroji.

⚫ Lukashi (petting Kuroji's sleek fur): "Go. Spy on the Demons Valley. Report back everything."

🔴 Kuroji's red eyes gleamed as he vanished into the shadows.

Far away, inside Demons Valley, Mecking and his most trusted warrior, Koremaro, stood inside a dark laboratory, unaware of the panther lurking in the darkness.

👹 Mecking (smirking, reading an ancient text): "With this, the Reomen Style will be ours soon."

🦇 Koremaro (eyes glowing red): "Let them come. I will crush them myself."

Kuroji, hidden in the rafters, listened closely, but the moment he moved, Koremaro's sharp eyes caught him.

⚔️ Koremaro (grinning, summoning his twin crimson daggers): "Looks like we have a guest."

🔥 The battle begins! Kuroji lunges first, dodging Koremaro's deadly strikes and countering with sharp claws. The panther's speed overwhelms Koremaro, and after a brutal fight, Kuroji lands a fatal blow.

💀 Koremaro collapses, but before Kuroji can escape, a dark energy pulses through Koremaro's body.

😈 Koremaro (grinning, his wounds regenerating): "Heh… That was fun. But I can't die that easily."

A Moment of Peace – Lukashi & Aiko

Before setting off on their dangerous rescue mission, Lukashi and Aiko shared a rare, quiet moment.

🌙 Aiko (softly, smiling): "Lukashi… I want to marry you. In this world."

⚡ Lukashi (eyes widening, then chuckling): "I want that too… But first, we have to save the weak players."

😊 Aiko (giggling, punching his arm playfully): "Then after we save them, we can go on a date, baby?"

🔥 Lukashi (smirking): "Why not? Let's go, baby."

Later that evening, Aiko and Lukashi sat in a small café, sharing a lighthearted moment before the storm ahead.

😂 Aiko (laughing as Lukashi chokes on cake): "Baka! You eat like a beast even outside battle!"

😂 Adnan (from afar, teasingly): "Ohooo~ Lukashi and Aiko sitting in a café~ K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

🔥 Lukashi (blushing, throwing a spoon at him): "SHUT UP, IDIOT!"

The Monster Awakens – Anturo's Dark Transformation

Deep in the heart of a cursed dungeon, Anturo stood in chains, his body trembling with dark energy. His eyes were bloodshot, his once heroic spirit slowly fading.

A monstrous whisper echoed through the chamber.

🔮 ???: "Let go of your humanity… Become one of us."

👁️ Anturo's eyes flashed dark red. His fingers sharpened into claws. His breath became ragged as the darkness within him took over.

😈 Anturo (grinning, voice distorted): "Yes… I feel it… I feel the power."

🔥 The screen fades to black as his transformation begins…

Cliffhanger – The Final Call to Battle

As Lukashi and his team set off toward Demons Valley, Kuroji limped back to camp, collapsing before Lukashi. His fur was drenched in blood.

⚫ Kuroji (weakly, voice fading): "They're waiting… They're coming."

😠 Lukashi (clenching fists, eyes burning with rage): "Then we'll make them regret it."

⚔️ With swords drawn, the Frinklins of Gods march towards their most dangerous battle yet.
