[ Breaking News ! Over 400 Dead in Black Explosion ! ]

It was a national incident, a grave reminder to society that they truly knew nothing about the Dungeons. They were portals, but to where ? Even after years , they knew nothing about their existence and why they appeared.

The Media took this as an opportunity to try and profit off the panic that resulted in riots around the country. Even the smallest details were blowing up on social media.

[ Female Survivor Wakes up ! Asks ' Where is He ' ]

They desperately wanted information, they didn't want to be in the dark . They cried for the uncertainty of their safety, of their future and their family .

When they found out their were survivors they attempted to raid the hospital in an effort for information. They wanted anything on the Incident, and they weren't going to wait for it .

[ Mob stopped by Gunfire , 15 killed and 35 injured ! ]

It utterly failed as the raid was bathed in bullets and tear gas. They were still in the dark on what happened , and the population was demoralized.

That was until a survivor came forward about what happened that faithful day .

[ A statement from Female survivor ]

" I can't begin to describe the chaos that went through the building. We used a fear stone that would choose a fear of his , and dependent on the fear , the color and size of the Explosion would be effected if he were unable to face the fear and fail. "

" We wanted to have him in our party , we needed new blood and he was perfect , it was almost perfect ... "

" I don't know what he went through, I know his parents died , but I didn't know he was hurting this much ... I'm just confused , I don't know how I'll continue to work . Where's Lavender? "

The Public learned of what happened, but the people were outraged that the Mercenaries that were supposed to protect them brought death to them once more .

Lavender didn't know what happened, he didn't know what he caused back in his own world .

It won't be a while until he gets back , but everyone presumably thought he died .

Everyone except The Suicide King. He survived, but due to the contract , he was still tied to him ,and thus had to pay the man his contract. The contract would be broken if he died , so the fact he has to pay the fee means he's still alive .

' Damn it , I'll definitely get my money's worth when you come back . I'll work that badtard to the ground. '

But a bit farther away from the Incident A-Yeong was still grieving for her brother.

A-Yeong was devastated, for the coming days she would be excused from school , for the loss of her brother.

She received her brother's salary so she didn't need to worry about her being out kicked out of her apartment.

But it didn't matter to her , she promised herself to never forgive him , he didn't come home to cook her breakfast or dinner , and he didn't come out to till her it will all be alright.

Her brother always did those three chores , despite his lack of responsibility .

She sneaked into his room and saw his empty room , which only had a single mattress on the floor and a box decorated with wrapping paper .

She slowly opened the box , and peeked inside . It contained a small note .

' Stop looking through my shit , sis . On a side note , let me remind you to study , I don't want to be a bad influence on you , don't know how we're even related. '

She skimmed the note and found another message on the back.

' I don't know what to write anymore, but here's a recipe I learned from a friend back in the States . It's not just another Mexican dish , well it is , but I think you'll like it . Boil 6 small green tomatoes and 5 green chilies , that's the sauce. Boil the meat and then add the sauce during the it's process, I think you'll like it . I don't know much about it but it's my favorite meal since I picked up cooking .

- I love you , idiot .

She dropped to her knees again , as she held the note to her chest .

" I hate you ... I hate you so much , Oppa ."

She didn't know what came over her , she'd thought she had already cried all the pain away . That clearly wasn't the case , as her chest felt denser than the bottom of the ocean.

" Why did you all leave me ? Don't you know how much it hurts ? "

" You didn't have to leave me alone, you could've been a deadbeat for all I care . I just ... don't want to be alone anymore ..."

" So please , can you come back ? "

She crawled into her brother's mattress and pulled his thin sweater over herself.

Already asleep she dreamt about her brother , whose eyes were in pain every time they locked eyes . But there were times his eyes would light up ,and those moments never left her .

She remembered one of the few days he even looked at her . She was going away for a trip to the park in another part of the country. Back then she didn't have too many friends, so she dreaded going to a trip that even her few friends weren't going to attend.

' It's cold , oppa . Can you heat it up for me please ? '

' Sure . '

' I didn't mean me ! Stupid ! '

' I'm not going to let you go , not until you promise me you're going to have fun today on your trip .'

' Stop it , let go of me ! You're going to choke me out before I even get on the bus ! '

' Nope ! I'll go with you if want , just say the word . Either that or promise me you'll have fun ! '

' Fine , I'll have some fun ... now let go of me ! '

' Some ? '

' Ok , ok ! I'll have an amazing day ! Stop tightening your grip! '

' Fine, you win . Give me plate I'll warm up your food real quick. '

This was probably the most lively he had been in the last few years . But even then , that was the past , and his eyes remained the same even after that .

She wondered , ' What was the last time he wasn't putting on an act ? '

These thoughts plagued her consciousness, even in her dreams as she slept on the cold and stiff mattress .

______________________________________________

After awakening from his slumber , he got up and started moving away from the corpses. Many had torn chest and a huge slash across their neck . He started stretching as if last night didn't bother him .

" Hey , if you mind me asking , did you have a boyfriend by any chance ? "

[ Why would you want to know about that ? ]

" Just curious, that is . Unlike you, I want to get to know you. I guess you could say that I don't want to talk to myself anymore. "

[ So I'm just convenient , huh ? ]

He placed his hands on his chin and looked at the green figure .

" Don't know how you came to that conclusion but , your not wrong ! Bingo , and you win the grand prize of my attention for 15 seconds! "

[ che* Bastard ]

" I heard my nickname , you need me ? "

The Guidance Manual, Moon, sighed as her green figure started to take the shape of a woman more and more .

[ How have you not killed yourself already ? Is that your real nickname , your life can't be that sad . ]

" No comment ! Now where's our next destination , Moon ! "

[ There should be a cabin near here , I've already scanned the area while you were asleep. ]

" Then let's get moving , I got a sister to come back to , and she doesn't know how to cook !"
