The Archivist's Ploy: A Tale of One Against The World

Far above the horizon, beyond the clouds and the apocalyptic storms under it, hovered a yellow-haired old-looking man. His yellow eyes gave off a bright radiance, and countless books floated around him. Throughout history, the man was known by many names, (The Watcher - The Chronicler - The Historian - The Custodian - The Recordkeeper) But during this Era, he was known as The Archivist. The Archivist's perception inspected thousands of kilometers far and wide, Yet 'Nothing interesting is happening' His frustration grew 'What's the point of a worldwide perception if there's no apposite change to perceive?' 'The world has become mundane' 'And no one is doing anything about it' Ergo, The Archivist will take matters into his own hands 'I'll orchestrate a worldwide, All-embracing scheme against an oblivious individual' With a sinister smile on his face, he devised his plan 'Turn the entire world into a person's antagonist, Then enjoy the show' And he had the perfect plot for it 'First, Utter Despair that would cause immense Pain' 'Then, More Despair that would turn the Pain to Loathe' 'Then, As the Loathe grows, The Despair will transform into Rage' 'The Rage will make the Being Crave Revenge, and the intense Crave will result in Devotion to his goal' 'Finally, The Despair, Pain, Loathe, Crave, and Devotion will all be used as fuel for the Rage, Transforming it into an even extremer emotion' "WRATH" How would a single person unleash his Wrath against the entire world? 'That's what I'm going to find out' "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" The Archivist's maniacal laughter echoed loudly 'The world is about to be entertaining' He looked up and asked with a reverberating, Bleak voice "Who will be the unlucky one?"

Fancy, Clothes

Leus reached home in the early morning

'Back on time, perfect'

Everyone was sleeping, but when he entered the house, Blaze got up to see him

"You came back early, nice, everything is alright?"

"Yeah Dad, I'm fine"

"Some time is left, you can sleep for a bit then we'll wake you up for breakfast"

"Alright then"

Leus slept for about 4 hours, then Viorica woke him up for breakfast.

Leus freshened up then went to the table and sat waiting for breakfast to come.

The atmosphere was lively, Amethyst and Merlin were talking excitedly about wearing new clothes and going out.

After a couple of minutes, Viorica brought the breakfast and sat beside Leus.

It was simple, scrambled eggs with toast.

Suddenly, Viorica ruffled Leus' hair and said

"Leus, your hair is dusty"

"Really?"

"What do you mean Really? The black strands became brown because of the dust"

"Pffff, Mom, you're exaggerating, but fine, I'll shower after I eat."

Viorica chuckled and said

"Nice, after showering try on your new clothes"

"Sure"

Leus ate and then went to shower, after finishing, he found Viorica waiting for him in the lobby

"Come to your room, I want to see it on you"

Leus wordlessly nodded and followed her to his room

'She's so excited about it'

On the bed, a Tuxedo suit was there.

But there was a problem

'It's too big'

It seemed to fit Blaze's size more than Leus' size, so Leus asked

"Mom, don't you think it's too big?"

Viorica chuckled and waved her hand

"Silly, obviously it is. Don't worry, it'll adjust the size on its own once you wear it."

"Huh? Really? Interesting ... "

Leus was impressed

'Mages create clothes ... is there an affinity for silk or something?'

He pushed all these thoughts away and asked Viorica to leave the room so he could change.

It was a four-piece tuxedo,

A black jacket with trousers matching its color, a purple Vest, and a white dress shirt

'Oh there's also a purple bow tie'

The color was bright purple, almost Magenta, matching Leus' bright hair

'I'm sure mom picked it'

Leus wore the black trousers first, then the dress shirt and the vest on top of it.

After that, he put on the black jacket and then stopped

'How to tie this?'

The purple bow tie wasn't tied, and Leus had no idea how to wear it

'I've never worn a bow tie in my whole life, the only time I wore a suit was my father's funeral, and I wore a tie that time now a bow tie'

Immediately after thinking of that, Leus felt a strong wave of apathy and lethargy wash over him, so he stopped thinking about it and turned around.

He opened the door and called Viorica

"Mom, I don't know how to wear this bow tie"

"I'll do it for you"

Viorica took the bow tie and tied it in less than 15 seconds, then just put it near Leus' neck, and it magically flew to its perfect place

"Wow, this is a high-quality suit for sure"

"Yes! It is, what do you think?"

"I think it's good, what do you think, Mom?"

Viorica inspected Leus for a bit

'It's well-fitting and sharp looking, it looks so sophisticated'

She spoke excitedly

"You look so handsome"

"That's good"

She smiled brightly and said

"I'll go to change with Amethyst too!"

Then went to Amethyst's room.

Leus sat on the couch

'I'm the first one to dress huh, guess I have to wait'

Leus just sat on the couch whirling bubbles of water around, no one was done changing yet.

After a while, Blaze came out of the bedroom

"Oh, it's looking good on you, Leus"

"You too dad, you look quite handsome"

Leus was right, Blaze looked quite handsome.

He was wearing a black suit with a red dress shirt under it and a black tie, the red shirt matched well with his bright red eyes and hair.

His sturdy, muscular physique made him look even better.

Soon after him, Merlin came out.

His suit looked exactly like Blaze's in both design and color, but instead of a tie, he was wearing a bow tie like Leus.

Blaze and Merlin already tested their clothes and saw each other in them yesterday, so Blaze didn't comment on it, Leus said

"Merlin, this suit is pretty good on you"

Merlin nodded vigorously

"Just like Dad's, it's so good"

The three of them waited for Viorica and Amethyst, and they waited for a long time

Finally, Leus asked

"What is taking them too long?"

Blaze chuckled

"Probably their hair, it's a one-piece dress that shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to wear, but their hair is long"

Leus just sighed

'It doesn't matter, we'll reach there at a specific time regardless'

After a bit more time, Amethyst came out

She was wearing a long-sleeved sky-blue dress and her hair was open.

She looked gorgeous.

The end of the dress was glimmering under the light like something was reflecting the light there.

Amethyst spun around with a bright smile on her face and asked

"How do I look?"

"Beautiful"

"Amazing"

"Gorgeous"

She beamed and replied

"Thank you!!"

Only moments later, Viorica came out, when Leus saw her he thought to himself

'That's the most beautiful look I've seen in my life'

Viorica's dress was the same bright blue color as Amethyst's, but it had some differences.

First, there was a long slit opening from the bottom up to her right thigh, But she was wearing blue trousers under the dress, so no skin was showing.

Secondly, there were many white flowers on the dress, shining one by one.

'That's definitely a magical design, it won't normally shine like that'

Viorica looked exquisite and charming, her dress looked grand and impressive, and it made her beauty and figure look much more elegant than usual.

Leus was just stunned by how she looked

'She's really, really beautiful ... her face seems to be glowing even, is that makeup? Even if it is .. she is so beautiful.'

It was the most beautiful Leus had ever seen, he wouldn't forget this look for a really long time.

Viorica's voice took him out of his daze

"How is it?"
