Re: Player

So. How do I explain this?

I came here into this city since I sensed someone causing a commotion in this part of the world.

Normally, it would be improbable for me to go into another inspector\'s territory, but it was different this time.

"My name is Wesker. The Black Shadow has summoned you," he stood there speaking before he vanished.

Wesker was it? I think that was his name. I couldn\'t even sense him…

I came here to confirm it. Whether or not it was true was a totally different matter. Just that not anyone can take Master Black Shadow\'s name so easily…

And reaching the city, I found the inspector was fighting here with a black swordsman, who seemed rather handsome for a human. And a bunch of other humans frolicking about the city.

\'Nuisance,\' I thought as I looked at how pathetically he was losing against a human swordsman.

And thus I moved on to take charge and kill them all at once.

Though a bright light erased all traces of magic at once. It was a holy light that is especially strong against my death magic.

And his face… It was something that I had seen many times. Especially since Amir got caught and sent directly to the deepest hell. It was one of the hot topics of hell for quite some time.

Since Amir and his past actions have mostly degraded the ethics of hell, most of the people didn\'t look at him in a positive light.

And since he captured such a being, people looked at him in a favorable light for this reason.

"You are Adam, right? I have heard about you," I spoke as I tried moving closer to him.

Honestly, if I were to be honest, he was more of a celebrity in hell. So it won\'t be a problem to get to know him a little.

"I am Milliam. I didn\'t think I would get a chance to meet you so soon. I-"

I was about to initiate a conversation with him to try and understand his reasons to be here, but he cut me off.

"He is coming."

He spoke as his eyes turned serious, and I looked at them with a bit of confusion.

While I surely didn\'t like it, I still kept quiet. As someone who had killed a Demi-God, there must be a reason for him to get so serious.

\'But he should give me some face. I am an inspector after all.\' I was a little unhappy with his behavior.

"Who is com-"

But all my thoughts vanished as soon as I found another being… my master, standing in front of me.

-SHATTER!!

-SHATTER!!!

The mirrors created by Ergas shattered in his presence, while both Ergas and I kneeled with our heads down.

\'So it was true,\' I thought as I kept my head to the ground. His presence was too magnanimous for us to make a move.

All we could do was wait in silence while he talked with Adam.

I heard in bits about what they talked but couldn\'t clearly make out what they were talking, so I just kept my head down, waiting for him to call us out.

But his voice didn\'t appear.

In fact, all voices vanished in an instant. As if nobody was even there.

"Sorry. But keep your head down. Or you might really die," a voice, a bit familiar, spoke out again. As I kept my head down, kneeling.

The voice came directly into my brain, while most of my senses were numbed.

\'Who-\'

But before I could ask, my entire body began shaking with fear.

And the voice in my mind continued while my body barely held it together.

"I am Wesker, in case you forgot. Well, right now, I am the one responsible for your body going numb. The reason is that if I didn\'t do that, your body would collapse with fear and instantly disintegrate."

"It\'s because of a being present here that you are neither supposed to know nor hear about. Your body won\'t even be able to hold, knowing the existence of such a being."

"I hope you understand. Also, the reason I am helping you is that I was the one because of who you are here. If I had said nothing to you before, you wouldn\'t even be here."

"So, if I am getting you involved. At least I could help you survive this."

"As for the reason, it\'s because if I didn\'t do it, then both Black Shadow and I would have been dead by now. I had little choice… can\'t explain in detail, but your presence was necessary here."

"Especially to divert the attention of Enchantress from a certain something. Hopefully, you will understand."

"In return, I will help you out with something. After all this is over in the next few minutes, Black Shadow will call you and ask a lot of questions about hell. It\'s because of a restriction being removed from his body today, he can now freely ask a lot of questions. Tell him everything as you should."

"Except, about the Vampire Lord\'s current affairs. That is because there is someone there whom I want you to meet with. His name is Abraham. He is one of my brothers."

"He will help you with your quest to find the cure for your lost clan. That is my favor in return for this trouble. Hopefully, we can work together later."

And then his voice vanished… as my senses returned slowly.

I looked at master Black Shadow on his knees as he seemed to be in a great amount of discomfort.

"Mast… er…?" I tried speaking, but my voice barely came out.

Master simply kept standing there before falling on the ground. He seems to be thinking about something.

And then he turned to me and said something… I couldn\'t hear it properly but… he was calling me, right?

Slowly standing up with whatever energy I could muster, I began walking towards him, one step at a time.

"What\'s your name, inspector?" he asked.

"It\'s Milliam. Lord Shadow," I answered with a reverent voice.

And just like Wesker spoke, he began asking about what was going on in hell. In the beginning, he was simply asking, but his questions became more specific… enthusiastic.

He even asked about the basic things in hell, like where the market is and where do workers come from?

It made me doubt if he was really the same Master I knew… or a totally different person, but his powers were the real deal, so…

I told him everything.

Except about the Vampire Lord\'s current affairs.
