《True Essence》Three essences
Advertisement
Raja turned to Gerald and Karin and then said, "Guys! Gen is waking up." the two of them then turned toward Gen, and seeing that he was really starting to move, the three of them got up and walked toward him. They stopped right in front of him, and then waited. After a few seconds Gen then stopped shaking, and began to look around. When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he asked, "What's wrong, guys? Why are you staring at me like that?" Raja then said, "Why? Well, we can start from the point that you have an essence that you have kept hidden, and of course, there is also the fact that she has suppressed Karin's desire, which leads me to believe that she is at least at the natural level."
Gen then said, "First of all, I didn't hide an essence from you." Raja then said, "No? Then how do you explain-" but was interrupted by Gen who said, "I hid two essences from you." Upon hearing this, Gerald and Karin, were in shock, and Raja was open-mouthed. Gerald then asked, "You were hiding two essences? Does that mean you have three essences in total?", Gen then said, "Yes.", Karin then said, "Wow, I didn't know it was possible to awaken more than one essence.", and Gen then said, "Me neither, but when I realized I already had two, and now I have three.", Gerald then asked, "What are your essences Gen? And how did you get them?", Karin then said, "Gerald, have you forgotten what Raja said?", and he then replied, "No, but I just want to know how he got them, I won't ask any more questions.", "Okay, then."
Gen then said, "I don't mind telling you what I can, but first of all we have to resolve what's left.", Gerald then asked, "What do you mean Gen?", "Karin.", Karin hearing Gen call her became apprehensive and asked, "Y-yes?", and then Gen said, "Punch me please.", and she then said, "What do you mean Gen?", "It's to pay for everything I put you through today, you can punch me.", "Gen, I'd rather not risk it, that voice might show up again.", "Don't worry, it only showed up that time because I was in mortal danger.", "But Gen anyway-", "Karin, just give me that punch before I call that voice back.", ".... Okay.", Karin then stopped in front of Gen and said, "Are you sure Gen?", and he said, "Yes, no hard feelings."

Upon hearing this Karin then punched Gen in the stomach which made him walk about five steps back, and he then said, "Cof cof, whew, cof, I didn't know you had, cof cof, such a heavy hand Karin. If I had known, maybe I would have dropped that punch." Gerald then said, "Karin does punch very well. I remember one time she punched me in the jaw, and I couldn't eat properly for almost a week.", Karin then said, "Do you still remember that? You know you deserved that punch, right?", Gerald then said, "Yes, I was very angry at the time, but today I am thankful, because I know that punch helped us get where we are now.", Karin then said, "That's right.", and the two then held hands.
Seeing this Gen thought, 'What the hell is going on here? Why is there such a romantic atmosphere all of a sudden?', he then said, "Let's sit down so I can tell you everything calmly.", Karin and Gerald turned around, and said respectively, "Ok.", "Let's go.", Gen then turned to Raja and said, "Hey Raja, let's sit down.", but Raja was standing there staring. When Gen saw this he walked over to him and said, "Hey Raja, what's up? Are you drooling over some woman at the bar?", but Raja continued not responding, Gen then walked over to him, took him by one of his shoulders and spoke while shaking him, "Hey Raja, hello. Is everything okay?", Raja then looked in Gen's direction and asked, "Hey Gen, what's up?"
Gen then said, "What do you mean what's up? I called you twice and you didn't answer me, so I came here to see if everything was okay with you.", Raja then said, "Everything is fine.", "Good. Come with me, let's sit down.", Gen said turning around, but Raja continued to stand still, staring at Gen this time, and seeing this Gen turned towards him and asked, "What is it Raja? Why are you staring at me?", Raja then asked, "Gen, can I ask you something?", "As long as it's nothing intimate feel free.", "Where did you came from?", " Came from? What do you mean you came from? I came from the city of dekin.", "That's not it Gen, I wanted to ask what is your hometown, the place you were born.", "Ahh, you should have said it like that right off the bat. I came from the Kingdom of Brim.", "Brim? Where is Brim?", "You've never heard of it?", "No.", "Well, Brim is north of the desert.", "Hmm, got it.", "That's it?", "Yes.", "Well then follow me, let's sit down."

The two then headed toward a secluded table where Gerald and Karin were sitting. When they arrived Gerald asked, "What took you so long?", Gen then said, "Raja wanted to know where I'm from.", Gerald then continued, "Where are you from? Why would you want to know that Raja?", Raja then said, "No reason, I just wanted to know if Gen came from where I came from too.", Gerald then asked, "And where did you come from?", "From a small town in the east. You won't know it even if I say its name.", "Hmm, got it. Well, now Gen, you can tell us about your three essences.", Gen then said, "Ok, but it's going to be a long story.", Karin then said, "We have all the time in the world.", "All right, let's go then."
Gen then explained to them everything he could about his essences, and about the fact that he was looking for an essence to save his brother. Gerald then said, "Wow, so that means that it was the essence of the ... what was the name again?", Gen then said, " Endless.", "Yeah, aside from the essence of the Endless, you still have the essence of the spear, and an essence that you can't talk about for your brother's sake?", "Yeah.", Karin then asked, "And which of the other two was that voice we heard just now.", Gen then asked, "Voice? What voice?", Karin then said, "What do you mean what voice Gen? The voice of your essence that threatened to kill me if I didn't stop my attack. You just said you would call it back.", "I was just following the flow so you would punch me, but did that really happen?", "Yes. Did you really not hear it?", "No.", Raja then said, "You must have been pulled into the inner world by the time she started speaking."
Gen then asked, "What was the voice like?", Gerald then said, "It was authoritative, and stiff.", Gen then said, "Well, any of my essences would talk like that if I was about to die. Let's make this easier, was it a man's voice or a woman's?", Karin then said, "A woman's.", "So it was the Light.", "Who is Light?", "It's my spear essence.", Raja then asked, "What level is it on?", Gen then said, "As far as I know, External.", Raja then said, "External? Gen stop kidding around. There's no way an external level essence could have done what she did.", "I'm not kidding. The last time I used it freely, it was at the external level.", "Hmm, I see, but anyway, I can assure you. This essence you used is at least at the Natural level, or forcing it quite a bit, at the Influence level, but almost natural."
Gen then said, "Well, there's no point in me thinking about it now. When I regain control of her I'll know what level she's at. And while we're on the subject, Karin, what is your essence?", Karin then said, "Rhythm.", Gerald then asked, "Rhythm? How does that work? Why did we get stuck while you were walking?", Karin then said, "Well it's simpler than you are imagining. I simply set a rhythm to be followed, and everyone outside that rhythm can't get out of the place they are in.", Gerald then said, "A conceptual essence, you have been very lucky Karin. Many say that these kinds of essences don't even exist, and here we have you with one of them.", Karin then said, "Don't forget Gen. If I'm not mistaken, your essence of the Endless is also conceptual right?", Gen then said, "Yes, you're right.", Gerald then asked, "What about your other essence Gen? What kind is it? Oh sure, only if you can tell me.", and before he could speak Dehji said, 'I also want to know what type Eli is Gen. And I don't think telling the type of the essence is going to affect anything.', Gen then thought for a while and then said, "Ahh, screw it, it' s a conceptual type."

Primacy Online
Life on Earth was nearly eradicated in World War III, but using alien technology, the Patriarch of the Church of the Resurrection built a new society from the ashes. He created what he called the Constructed Reality MMORPG, Primacy Online, a world so real that the players could not distinguish it from reality.

Thirteen hundred years later, the release of Primacy Online VI: Legacy of Balor signals the beginning of World War IX. Players from Earth's city-states will be locked in cryogenic capsules and play Primacy Online in War Mode. Their achievements in the game will determine the victory rankings of their city-states, but if they die in the game, they will die for real.
