《The Final Judgement》Volume 5: Chapter 1A: Epilogue Of Despair
Advertisement
The city started panicking and most of the population grouped up at the Town Hall of Minato. Kuranami and Kristina arrived there too, walking to each other.
“What is happening?” Kuranami asked. Kristina let out a sigh
“I don’t know.” She replied.
Suddenly the giant screen on the Main Building started to go static, connecting to a different network. All the Radio and Television broadcast started connecting to the Giant Screen. Suddenly a group of people appeared on screen, all of them wearing capes. The one in the middle took out his cape. It showed a boy with black hair and a white eyepatch on his left eye. Suddenly red thunder hit the top floor of the Town Hall, and the group from the screen were on the rooftop. Suddenly someone appeared behind the crowd. The crowd made space for the man and let him walk through. The boy on the roof looked down. He saw Zaine in the middle of the group, looking down.
“You… Where is she!?!” Zaine shouted, as he looked up.
Joey, Nobu and Fudo appeared behind Zaine. The boy grinned, as he looked at them.
"There are mysteries to the universe we were never meant to solve. But where Mitsuki Ludoshi, and Annie Smiths are is not among them. Those answers we all know deep inside...” The boy said as he started to grin even more.
“... Just like what happened to the rest of That Incident...” The boy followed, as he closed his eyes.
"...My name is YxZwAi SmHtIGwMi. And this message is to the Citizens of Minato, Leave Minato immediately…” He said as he opened his eye, his Kurenai started glowing brighter.
“...Because things are about to get dangerous...” He continued.
Kurenami looked at the group, especially at the one who was talking. Kurenami's eyes widened up, as she got an adrenaline rush. Could those two in the front, no doubt those are them... Kristina's eyes widened up as she saw Kurenami. Kurenami was grinning, as Kurenami cracked her knuckles...

I don't remember anything that had happened in my past. Silly me, I don't even know who my parents were, only that I had them. My name is Kuranami... And about my last name... I kinda forgot it. At first I searched for it, only to end up dissapointed. Just when I started to accept my fate... That incident happened...

Kuranami grabbed her school bag and put on her shoes.
"Well, I am heading out!" Kurenami shouted through the hallway.
A boy walked out, probably 3 years older than Kurenami herself. He had white hear and brown eyes.
"All right, laters!" The boy replied.
That was Kanami, his older brother, who had dyed his hair white. Kurenami didn't prefer white, as opposite she had black hair and blue eyes. Kurenami waved and closed the door. Just a normal day straight to school! Kurenami thought by herself, as she started running to the exit of the apartment and ran to school.
"Kurenami!" She suddenly heard someone shout her name.
Kurenami turned and saw no one, suddenly bumping onto someone else infront of her.
"Ouch! Watch where you are going you- ?!" As she was frustrated she looked up in a shock.
There was a girl infront of her. A girl with beautiful, long, white hair, a white dress and red eyes as if they were glowing. The girl she bumped into hadn't even flinched, while Kurenami was sitting on the ground.
"And who are you?" The girl asked, with an frustrated look on her face.
Kurenami stood up.
"We'll definitely not your friend, who do you think you are yourself?" Kurenami replied back, frustrated too.
The girl got a smirk on her face.
"The name is Kristina... From the Ludoshi family." She said.
As multiple people started to surround them, some of the citizens had a shocked look on their face.
"T- That is Kristina, s- son of Yuudai!" One of them shouted.
"Oi! She is from the family who live at the Capital, and have those eye thing, right?" Another one said.
Kurenami looked around.
"Pfft, son of Yuudai, whatever." Kurenami said, looking away.
"Indeed I am from the Ludoshi family. Who have the Kurenai." Kristina replied.
"Weaklings like yourself should just be wiped out of the way..." The said. Kurenami makes a fist with her hand.
"Who do you think you are mocking, you ugly bitch!" Kurenami said, as she swung her fist at her.

Kristina had her eyes closed, when she opened them up, her eyes were glowing red. Kurenami's eyes widened up as she suddenly dodged her fist and tackled her.
"W- Woah!?" Kurenami said as she quickly jumped back up.
Kristina started swinging fists at her, Kurenami blocked them. Kurenai suddenly saw an opening to her face, just as Kristina was swinging her fist to her left. Kurenami grinned, as she dodged to the right and swung to her left.
"Now I got you!" Kurenami shouted, as she hit Kristina in her face. Everyone was quiet, as Kurenami took a step back. "Hah, if you can't even dodge that, then your eyes are sure useless!" Kurenami said, teasing her.
Kristina didn't reply. "Who..." She mumbled, as she was looking down.
"...Do you think you are mocking?!" She then shouted, as a burst of air flied around.
Kurenami covered her face as she was sliding backwards because of the wind. When Kurenami put her hands away and the wind stopped, Kristina had dissapeared.
"Where did she go?" Kurenami asked.
"I am right here!" Suddenly Kristina shouted, appearing behind Kurenami.
Kurenami quickly turned, but had no time to dodge Kristina's fist. Kurenami closed her eyes, as she fell a sudden adrenaline pump through her body, but she didn't get hit. When she opened her eyes, someone was next to her. Her eyes widened up. It was Kanami, his eyes were glowing blue.
"Ma'am, please forgive my sister for this mess." Kanami said, as she had grabbed her fist.
Kristina looked at Kanami, and then Kurenami. She let out a sigh and took a step back, as her eye stopped glowing. Kristina wiped the dust off her dress as she walked away. Kurenami looked a moment at Kristina and then at Kanami.
"Kanami when did you- ?!" As Kurenami was talking, Kanami grabbed her mouth.
"Let's head home, I'll explain there." He said. Kurenami let out a sigh, as they walked back to their apartment.
Kanami closed the door and took a seat.
"All right, now tell me!" Kurenami said.
Kanami let out another sigh.
"Kurenami..." Kanami said, looking down.
"... We aren't family." He followed up.
The silence destroyed the atmosphere in the room and the smile on Kurenami's face turned into a frown.
"Is this some kind of -" "It is no joke... But that isn't all." Kurenami asked but got interrupted by Kanami.
"Your parent's got killed... by an organisation who was supposed to be a rumor." Kanami followed up.
"I worked with them on the same squad, but once they made your Mother a hostage, your Father had no other choice." Kanami continued, as his hand on his leg turned into a fist.
"And I..." Kanami said, as tears dropped out of his eye.
"... I was weak..." Kanami followed up, looking back at Kurenami, who is still having the same frown.
Kanami jumped out of the coach and hugged her.
"I am sorry... I should've told you earlier..." Kanami said, as he was crying.
Kurenami didn't know what to do. His brother- I mean Kanami had never been this sad. Kurenami hugged her back.
"It's all right..." Kurenami said.
"Y- You sure?" Kanami asked.
"Yes... you had to tell me sooner of later. And I am happy you did." Kurenami said.
The last Kurenami could do was pretend that it was okay and pull away the guilt Kanami had.
Suddenly a giant lighting bolt could be heard, and after that multiple explosions happened.
Kurenami's eyes widened up as she looked out the window. There was fire everywhere around the city, as it glew bright in the dark...

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
