CHAPTER 5 – ILLEGAL GOODS
"Another one? Aren't you tired yet?"
Long ago, the old nations were divided. Three out of two were geometrically designed villages. Their enemies? Rebels.
"Are you listening? We don't have time—this portal will close soon!"
"Let those monsters go. They don't matter—they're just trash."
Before becoming monsters, the No-Kai were once humans or ordinary animals. But something changed—genetic evolution consumed them, bringing humanity to the brink of extinction.
Between July 3rd and 7th, the sectors were born. Each one managed by a numbered system. But along with the sectors... came illegal goods.
Our people tried to reclaim their lands, but Seifuku—our great marine capital—was lost. Our oceans, our sea life… gone.

BLACK MARKET
The arrival of this man was sudden. His aura… not that of an ordinary No-Kai.
"Shit… who are you?" Dan asked.
"I'm just a reserved guy. I'm not here to start fights."
He tosses a map to the ground. It glows with a blue light—like a magical treasure.
"What is this?"
"A gateway to Seifuku… A place where illegal goods are traded: fish, slaves… and worse."
"Why are you helping us?"
"Because hunting them will be fun."
"Wait—!" Dan yells, but the man vanishes without revealing his name.
Suddenly, Miyuki's voice comes through the radio:
"I lost connection with the sectors. You must..."
Connection lost.
"Evacuate the… sector…"
A black hole opens.
"Dan! Hayato! Open the map!"
The map expands, revealing a glowing door.
"Miyuki…" Hayato looks back at the base being consumed.
"We have to go!"
Dan and Hayato leap into the portal, heading straight into Seifuku.

From afar, Miyuki watches the base being completely destroyed.
"It seems… the enemy is smarter than we expected," she says.
"Oswald… help me find the black merchant."
---
The new place looks like a massive theme park turned city, yet every street reeks of poverty.
"So… this is the famous Seifuku?" Hayato says.
Milícia narrows her eyes, as if remembering something.
"This place was once full of peace and prosperity."
"You know the city of Athletika?" Dan asks.
"Yes. Seifuku is a descendant of it."
"This is still so confusing..." Hayato looks at a glowing sign in the distance.
"Perfect. Let's head to that black market."
"Where to, handsome?" Maria laughs.
Hayato scowls playfully.
"No time for jokes. I'm beat up all over," Dan complains, crossing his arms.
Looking to the mountains, a figure appears.
She had long, silver hair and a navy-style military uniform. Her presence was striking—elegant, dangerous, and... curvy.
It was General Miyuki Silve, accompanied by Oswald, of the Axe Squad.
"Finally, I can see you in person. I'm Miyuki Silve," she says.
Dan and Hayato turn red instantly.
Milícia looks a bit annoyed by Miyuki's overwhelming figure.
Maria grins calmly, already used to their reactions.
"Let's go. We need to organize our plans."
Miyuki turns red herself—excited by the reaction she caused.
Oswald closes his eyes and sighs.
"Here we go again…"
The squad marches forward, heading toward the General Command Center.
