[Next IRL day later.]

(Welp, she hasn’t contacted me yet... Obviously, it was just one in real life day and what not.) – thought Phantasia as he continued his hunt for the recruits.

(If I’m guessing this correctly, she is doing search about me... Or maybe she just straight up decided to give up and run away in order to not get herself in-)

[You have received the message from the player: Orion.]

"...Heh."

(Never mind.)

["I want to talk about the deal."] – Orion.

[You have requested the video call from player Orion.]

"..."

[Player Orion accepted the call.]

"Sup. It took you way faster than I’ve thought." – said Phantasia.

"So, where do you want to meet?" – said Phantasia as several moments later, the two players met in the park where they first met.

"The spot we used last time is already used by somebody else... Still, it looks like part is pretty quiet for now." – said Orion as she and Phantasia arrived at their meeting spot.

"Yeb. We should have peaceful talk here for the time being." – said Phantasia as he sat down on the bench.

"So, what do you want to talk about?"

"The deal." – said Orion as she sat down.

"I’m interested in it." – said Orion as Phantasia noticed a determined expression on Orion’s face.

"...Quick question." – said Phantasia.

"Do you now know who I’m and what kind of piece of shit I’m?"

"Yeah, I’ve checked it." – said Orion.

"And you do realize what kind of fucked up situations you may find yourself if you decided to work for me?" – asked Phantasia.

"I fucking know!" – said annoyed Orion.

"I know who the fuck you are and I know what you are doing."

"But I’m asking for the fucking deal anyway."

"Now shut up and tell me what do you want."

"..."

"Before I even tell you what you need to do, I want you to ask something simple." – said Phantasia.

"Why?"

"...What the fuck do you mean why?" – asked annoyed Orion.

"Well, to get stronger, that is for sure." – said Phantasia.

"But why exactly?"

"Do you want to just enjoy the game?"

"Or do you want to crush the fuckers that straight up bullied you?"

"Or maybe something much simpler."

"You just want to be on the top."

"You can think of this as interview."

"So please, answer these questions truthfully."

"..."

"Honestly speaking, I think it would be all 3." – said Orion.

"I fucking hate it."

"I just came here to have fun, but over and over again, these assholes are kicking me around for fucked up reason."

"Because I wanted to play."

"And this is just pure bullshit."

"They are even making sure that the people wouldn’t get stronger without their ’help’."

"So they are sabotaging other people by either PKing them or just outright stealing their preys nonstop."

"Heck! Do you know how long it took me to level up even once?! ONCE!?"

"I’m solo player too as well."

"Or more exactly, I had few friends, but they decided to give up and join the guilds in the end."

"But you didn’t?" – asked Phantasia.

"Of fucking course, I didn’t!" – said pissed off Orion.

"The last thing I want is to have these bastards have a smug look on their face as they get what they want."

"I rather fucking be their enemy then let them have their way with me while also cutting contact with those fucking nobodies that left me."

"I want to crush these fuckers."

"All of them."

"..."

"Then what if your roles were reversed?" – asked Phantasia.

"Huh?" – Orion looked confused.

"Simple put, what if you would want to own THEM?!" – asked Phantasia.

"What if they would be under your hill or what if players that weren’t part of the guilds would be asking to use your hunting grounds?"

"Would you let them?"

"Or would you want to own them? Like they would have to pay you or just straight up work for you?"

"..."

"You are asking about some weird fucking question like if I will become like them because what they did to me?" – asked Orion as she looked into the sky.

"..."

"Honestly speaking... I don’t know how to answer that."

"I really don’t."

"..."

"But I will tell you this."

"I will make fucking sure that these shitty guilds out there will suffer."

"..."

"Very well then." – said Phantasia.

"Come. Let me show you how your test will work." – said Phantasia as he led Orion outside of the city, walking a long distance, before then stopping as he took out a key like object from his inventory.

"So... The test will be here?" – asked Orion as Phantasia used the key on the air.

"You took me quiet far away from civilization... But there is nothing here."

"Nope. We will be holding test farther away." – said Phantasia as the space open itself up where the key was inserted, before moments later three wheeled motorcycle like vehicle emerged.

"However, I wanted to go here, since we are far away from any prying eyes, allowing me to use this thing."

"!?"

"What the fuck is that?!" – asked Orion as she observed the jet-black vehicle which had single wheel at front and two at the back.

(Is this a motherfucking bike?! But it really doesn’t look like one!) – thought Orion as she noticed the massive thrusted on the back on the vehicle, as well as the thick black glass which completely hides inside of the vehicle.

(This looks like some kind of car combined with motorcycle...)

"My ride." – said Phantasia as he opened the side and top of the vehicle, before then going inside of it.

"You coming?"

"..."

Orion with hesitation entered the vehicle and sat on the seat behind Phantasia, before moments later Phantasia closed the massive door and then instantly taking off.

"?!"

(Jezus! This thing is fast!) – thought Orion as the moment Phantasia started riding, noticing the speed of the vehicle.

"Are you always using that kind of things?!" – asked somewhat excited Oron.

"Well, I make tanks, aircraft and what not, so yeah." – said Phantasia.

"In fact, I used an aircraft to get to this nation in the first place."

"?"

"Wait, did you said aircraft?" – asked Orion.

[Several moments later.]

"Okay, we here." – said Phantasia as he stopped at the desolated place.

"?"

"There is nothing here..." – said Orion as suddenly the camouflaged plane revealed itself, surprising and alarming Orion.

"...Oh..."

(THE FUCK?!) – Orion screamed inside of her own head while Phantasia used his key to hid his bike.

"You coming?" – asked Phantasia as the back of the aircraft opened up, opening the ramp for the duo.

"..."

"Em... Okay?" – said Orion before then boarding the aircraft that took off few moments later into the skies.

"..."

(OKAY! THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!) – thought Orion.

(I mean, sure, I did checked about him online!)

(About he made tanks and all sort of things.)

(But now that I was in them... Wow... I don’t know what to say.)

(Still, I wasn’t exactly expecting him to summon a bike, before then showing a freaking invisible... Or maybe it was camouflaged aircraft?)

(True, there are cars in this game and what not, probably because of him, since apparently there are other people making vehicles and what not in this game now.)

(Hell, I’ve heard about a hell faction that is using somewhat modern tanks that uses some kind of hellish gunpowder and what not.)

(People are calling Phantasia the "Doctor", the mad man who cause devastation and genocide when he goes on a loose.)

(But at the same time, they are calling him "Advancer", the one that caused the world to technology advance a bit.)

(Still, the hell was that with the vehicle? I saw cars in this world and you cannot just make them disappear and appear whenever you want... He must had made in some kind of special way... Probably has to do with that key he used.)

(There is also this plane... He can freaking hide it with camouflage?)

(No wonder he is number 1 crafter in the game.)

"..."

"Em... Excuse me...." – said Orion as Phantasia walked out from the cockpit.

"But I have question."

"What is it?" – asked Phantasia.

"Who... Are these people?" – asked Orion as she looked towards the several figures wearing a military gear and head covering helmets, while at the same time holding what appears to be some kind of magic rifles.

(They are not players... Are they vampire NPCs that are said to be working with Phantasia?) – thought Orion.

"Oh? Them... Don’t worry. You can trust them." – said Phantasia.

"Although, I cannot exactly tell you just yet who they are."

"?"

(Wait, by any chance, they are not vampires?!) – thought confused Orion.

"Anyway, we are about to arrive out destination, are you ready for it?" – asked Phantasia.

"...Yeah... I’m ready." – replied Orion.

"Very well." – said Phantasia as the plane arrived at its destination and quickly found a spot that it could use as its hiding spot.

"We are here." – said Phantasia as he alongside Orion walked out of the plane.

"...Where are we?" – asked Orion as she fallowed Phantasia.

"At your test site." – said Phantasia as he led Orion to the hill.

"There." – said Phantasia as he pointed with his finger.

"?"

"Wait... Is that a village?" – asked Orion.

"Yeb. A village." – said Phantasia.

"Before you even ask, it is not some kind of special village that is controlled by players or maybe some kind of faction."

"Nope. It is just normal ass village you can find anywhere."

"...Why... Why here?" – asked bit nervous Orion.

"Well, I’ve said before." – said Phantasia.

"A test site."

"The test is simple."

"I want you to exterminate every single person in that village yourself."
