"Huu huu (sound of breathing) Father... Mother... Where are you? I'm hungry... Oh God... I'm hungry... Will a hero appear?! Please... When will all of this... End--"

Dina: Who's our next target?
Arya: According to the map, if we go north, there's a city named SEJI. It's not a target. It's a peaceful city.
Dina: Are you going to get involved directly?
Arya: No, I'll just stay at a distance.
They entered the city, and this time the rumors about it were pretty good. There was nothing bad, so no execution.
Arya: There's a delicious smell of food.
Dina: I want to buy some. By the way, we still have money from the previous city, right? We got a lot of treasure and left it in the middle of town.
Arya: Yeah, I took some of it for travel supplies.
Dina: Yay! We should buy lots of supplies. After all, we have a magic pouch.
Arya: Don't buy too much, or we'll run out of money quickly.
Dina: Yeah yeah...
They bought a lot of food and continued to the next city named TIZAR for the next execution. The journey took five days, and along the way, they encountered a slave trader carrying slaves.
"Hey!!! Move faster!!! You're so slow!"
"Y-y-yes..."
Dina: What do you think? Should I step in?
Arya: Go ahead, but be careful!
*Clang slash* Dina, with lightning, slashed the vile beasts. Their bodies were completely chopped up.
Dina: Are you okay?! Hey Ar, come here quick, she looks really weak. You can use healing magic, right?
Arya: Yeah, HEAL! (She was healed instantly, but the child was still weak.) Here, eat this first.
"Th-thank you so much."
Arya: It's okay. You're safe now. Eat slowly...
What's your name?
"I don't have one."
Arya: No name? Hmm... Do you want me to give you one and come with us?
"For what? Where to?"
Arya: Ah, sorry. Let me introduce myself. My name is Arya Setya, and the battle-crazy woman is Dina. We're here to execute corrupt rulers. I see potential in you. You might just be the missing piece we need.
Dina: Hah?! Who are you calling battle-crazy?!
"Potential? I don't have any. If I did, I wouldn't be like this."
Arya: Haha, it's exactly because you have potential that you were targeted and meant to be sold. I believe in you. Trust me. We're here to revolutionize the world.
"Alright... Please take me with you. I want revenge on those who took my parents. If I really have potential, then I'll join."
Arya: Good spirit. Hmm... your name is now GAMMA, meaning 3, because you're the third member of our group. Welcome aboard, pretty girl.
Gamma: Gamma? Thank you so much. May I call you brother?
Arya: Haha, of course, and call her sister too.
Dina: Nice to meet you, Gamma.
Gamma: Nice to meet you, second sister.
Arya: Haha, good, good! Oh yeah... I forgot to tell you about your talent. From what I see, you're gifted in disappearing. You could be our intel and gather information. No need to fight on the front lines; just focus on gathering intel.
Gamma: ??? What does that even mean???
Arya: Haha, you'll understand with training.
Gamma: Please teach me.
The three of them went deep into the forest to let Gamma train. It took two weeks until she mastered vanishing. That delayed their plan to execute TIZAR's ruler by two weeks. Gamma's debut would be in TIZAR.
Arya: Alright, you've mastered vanishing. You're behind me, right?
Gamma: How did you know?
Dina: Don't think too hard about it. He's abnormal!
Arya: I don't want to hear that from you!
Dina: What?!
Gamma: Hehehe... (Gamma giggled softly watching the two.)
Arya: Gamma, you'll sneak in to gather intel about this city. We'll wait at the edge. Look for information, and here's some money for anything you need.
Dina: I want some too.
Arya: Yeah yeah, here.
Gamma started from a bar, vanished, and listened in on the city's situation. Apparently, there was nothing useful at first. Then she explored more and saw miserable scenes like in LILA, SIJU, and EKPIRO. She entered the mansion and noted the number of guards, the ruler's location, hidden rooms for slave confinement, family members, etc. Then she returned to report everything to Arya and Dina.
Arya: Excellent work, Gamma! You're really smart and amazing. (Pats Gamma's head)
Dina: Yeah, it was your debut but you succeeded.
Gamma: Hehehe (blushing) Thank you.
Arya: Alright, we just need to wait for nightfall. Gamma, you already know how to open the hidden room, right? Your next task is to open it and free everyone inside.
Gamma: Got it, brother!
Night time... Dina silently killed the gate and entrance guards, slicing their necks. She went in and killed one by one silently and calmly—perhaps to show Gamma how it's done?
Dina: Ar, I'm done, and the ruler is on the 3rd floor in the bedroom.
Arya: Okay thanks! Third floor, huh? Got him. Farewell. *Phuuu* (A high-speed silent bullet pierced the head even in sleep—same for the family. Only the servants were spared.)
Gamma: *Kerchakkk* (door creaking open) Whoa, that's terrifying. Alright, you're all free now. Leave one by one. Brother, some of them are hurt too, can you heal them?
Arya: Yeah, wait there. Thanks Gamma. (Arya goes to Gamma and heals the injured, then tells everyone to leave the place.)
And so... this execution was also a success.
Scene changes to somewhere else.
"Hey!!! Give us your finest alcohol!! Don't you know who we are?! We're EXONE! The ones who kill corrupt rulers!!!"
*Whispers* Huh?! EXONE?! Aren't they just rumors? Why do they seem like criminals now?
"Sshhh quiet, or they'll kill you."
What's going on? EXONE appearing in public?...
