The Red Game's

Chapter 1 part 1

After being content to drag me into the Klaurius Family estate, Cresh pulled this back, like a pet, to a place in the middle of an uninhabited city.

Paying close attention, for a few moments, the eyes could see a small bonfire surrounded by eight teenagers, boys and girls. Among them were three girls and the rest were young men.

"You must be surprised to see this, right, Kei?"

"Not really. From the beginning I understood a little."

"What do you understand? Or maybe you've guessed that there's someone in town besides us?"

"I'm not stupid. If there is no one here, how could I possibly be robbed and finally saved by you? After all, this place wouldn't be rumored if it wasn't populated."

"Hahaha, you are indeed an interesting person, Kei."

"Stop laughing and let go of me!"

"okay."

Cresh pulled back the chains that bound my body, into his body. It was a great relief when he managed to escape from his chain bond. He approached those who were gathering around the campfire.

"I'm back" Cresh told them.

It seems like they are friends. However, I don't understand how they can become familiar in this kind of environment. However, my hunch says that they must not be much different from the criminals.

I hope it's wrong.

"Hey, Cresh! Who's the weak one you brought." A burly young man, pointed at my face.

"Oh, he. His name is Kei, a useless weakling with a flat face and a strange look."

What kind of introduction is that?

Damn Cresh, it seems like he really underestimated me. Just watch out later, I will definitely silence your mouth.

"Oh, so his name is, Kei. Hm." The young man walked over with a sinister face.

What does he want? Will I be robbed again today?

Uh wait, not that I just got saved by Cresh. Why is he just keeping quiet now. Could it be that he had already intended to rob from the beginning? Ah, goddamn. How did this happen?

"Hey, kid! Aren't you afraid to see me? You seem to look very calm without the slightest fear."

God, can you guys stop scaring? You know I have my own reasons for not showing emotion in my face. And again, why do you call me a boy when we look the same age. Or maybe your age doesn't suit your body.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way." I replied as usual, but, there seems to be a misunderstanding here. The words and features of my face looked so different to her. Really, it's very lazy to have to fight.

"It turns out you underestimated me, you son of a bitch." The young man shouted furiously, then launched a fist, with his right hand, towards me.

I immediately lowered my head quickly, then attacked his crotch with a flick of the middle finger.

The young man immediately screamed, jumping backwards while holding his crotch. Those who saw us fighting were unable to hold back a laugh, when looking at that scene.

"Hey, Willi! How did the boy's attack feel?" the ridicule of a girl of not so tall stature, with long red hair, and wearing the same uniform as Cresh and the others.

"Be quiet, you ugly son of a bitch!" The young man who was mocked, did not accept.

"I'm not ugly, you shrimp brain."

"Suckers! Who are you picking up shrimp brains!?"

The young man immediately jumped towards the girl who was mocking him. He clenched his hands and immediately launched an attack.

The ground shook as the attack was launched. I just stood up, but could not see anything, because it was blocked by the scattered dust.

Suddenly, my shoulder was patted by someone from behind, then an unfamiliar voice sounded there.

"Hey, your name is Kei. I'm Vany, nice to meet you."

I turned to the source of the voice. There was no one there, but I could feel the presence of someone.

I never thought I'd meet such interesting people like them. It seems that the days filled only by boredom will change. I really want to see how they act later on.

"It's nice to meet you. Can you undo that technique you used, so that I can see you more clearly."

"Ah, I thought you'd be scared, you're so boring to joke around with."

"That's your fault, for not being able to change the tone of voice while mocking the young man with a moment of surprise."

"Hahaha, you're pretty smart."

"Of course."

"Suppit. See you soon."

The dust slowly disappeared, along with the presence of the person in front of me. A moment later, I sensed that someone was trying to attack from behind.

Quickly, this self turned around. Eyes could see the figure of the young man who had just lost earlier, jumping towards me while gathering all his strength on the right hand, to launch an attack. Judging from the way he fought, he had a Technique that could strengthen the body when launching an attack.

Waiting in silence, I did not move in the slightest to dodge or counterattack. With a blank look, while putting both hands into a pocket like a person waiting for death.

A moment in sight, the person's attack came to a halt, his body and hands wrapped around by the purple chains.

"Who told you to kill my slave who can't even do anything but wait to be eliminated?"

"Don't stop me Cresh!"

"Peace with him, or I'll make you dog food."

Cresh's expression turned extremely sinister, like that of a cold-hearted slayer. The one who attacked me, instantly trembled and was terrified.

"I'm sorry, Kei. Because they attacked you. I'm Wili, nice to meet you."

Huh huh? What the fuck? Why did he become like this? But I was a little upset, because she got acquainted like being forced.

"Oh, okay. I wish I could remember your name."

"What the fuck is that answer?" he snapped with a very scary facial expression.

Maybe I can take advantage of this situation to play around with him a little.

"I just wanted to test if you'd dare hit me now if you, I'm mocking. Yeah, anyways, how could someone like you hit me."

My words might be said to be very cheap to provoke anger, but if someone is in a state of annoyance, tricks like this can definitely provoke his anger. Although this is not really my goal.

"You jerk!"

My real goal has been achieved, it only takes a little time to uncover the secret of Cresh Vallencius.

Shortly before I was hit by the attack, Wili was pushed by the purple chain until it bounced very far. Now, these eyes could see clearly, the look of a face full of despair and a blank look that looked at his own two hands.

That person was Cresh, who was already helpless against the trauma of his dark past. He who is now will not be cool to watch. However, after I let it go from the past, this will definitely change Cresh.

"Well, whoa, whoa. You're really helpless, Cresh." I deliberately provoked Cresh's anger.

The purple-haired young man, looked extremely desperate. "What are you talking about?"

"People who have never experienced anything bad in the past, will never make facial expressions like when you stop Wili from hitting me. I know you must have seen your fellow friends kill each other, right?"

"Suckers! Why do you know about me?!" A moment Cresh was silent, drawn on his face, that my words were heartbreaking to the young man. "You better stop your bullshit!"

"Hm, bullshit, huh? I'm not sure what I said was nonsense. From the beginning I was prepared if it was necessary to test you, so I tried to be more familiar with you, even if only in a day. I use your feelings to expose your past, so you can move forward, don't blame me for doing that."

"Stop! Whatever you're gonna say I won't believe it, stop saying those stupid things, you know what I am!"

"Or I should say that, you once lost control while trying to stop their fights, until you killed them all in the blink of an eye, Cresh Vallencius."

Actually, your past is almost like mine, Cresh. And also, I never said that this self had never met you before. At that time, maybe I was the only one who survived. But I'm lucky, you don't remember. Because I will make you play around as entertainment in this boring time.

"Key, what are you doing? You must be in control of my mind. Why not, this self wants you to die? Why are we so familiar? Tell me, Kei ... What do you want, to make me so difficult?"

That desperate tone of voice, I've heard it before. You may not remember or even want to forget your past. Maybe that's why you don't remember this friend of yours.

I don't mind you forgetting about it, and honestly, I still remember the day you drowned deep in despair. It may be said, that now I will make you atone for your sin, the unexpected troublemaker, Cresh Vallencius.

"Why are you quiet, hey? Or you're dying to kill me."

Cresh looked down, purple chains began to appear in his waiting. However, the young man's body looked trembling, as the memories of the forgotten past began to reappear.

"Just try if you can do it. I bet you won't forget what it's like to be in a pool of human blood. What it's like to see your friends' corpses. Or maybe you've forgotten things like that to live on. Really cowardly."

I kept trying to bring up her past, so she could accept the harsh reality that had happened in life. I'll remake him, so he can be a pawn. And, as an apology, his desire to release the law of the jungle in this country, I will grant.

"But the past is just a chain of events that can no longer be changed. It's free that you're constantly drowning there. You just need to stop staring in that direction, and start turning in the other direction, which is now, the time in which you live. Rest assured, thinking about the past will only make you want to die of regret, while thinking about the future, can make you give up because of anxiety."

I paused for a moment, then looked into Cresh's eyes so that the intent could be conveyed.

"At the end of the day, what you need to think about is the time when you live, think about and solve the problems you face so as not to have regrets in the future. The point is, you should enjoy your life. The future will take shape on its own, and can seem beautiful without regret."

Haih, why do I have to talk so much like a lecture? I hope Cresh doesn't disappoint, because he's been struggling to put together a very good sentence.

Cresh was still sculpting, not moving in the slightest. The chain still continued to come out from the young man's back. Whether something like it would happen again. If that's the case, it means he's not what I expected.

I shouldn't have wasted any time making him a pawn, but I still want to make him see the hell of the world for much longer. I don't want to be left alone to see it, so try to control your power.

Suddenly, I was surrounded by five people who were ready to destroy the body. I felt the presence of Wili directing her fist at the back. And the other four were also about to direct different attacks from different directions.

In front, there was a tall, white man with brown hair, pointing the tip of the sword at my face. On the right and left, there were the auras of two men with the same body and style, directing their hands. They both seem to be able to control electricity. While others, there are on top with sharp objects directed at the head.

Now it will be a danger, before it succeeds in ensuring the person at the top. Why am I curious too? All right, time to show you my hidden abilities.

"What's wrong with you guys? isn't it very dangerous to direct your attacks on others?"

Hm, I'll show you the hidden techniques. This technique is very risky, if only a little wrong, will be fatal in the end. I call this technique, 'Super Negotiation Techniques'.

"Oh come on, man. I didn't do anything to you guys. Isn't it not good to do as you please with others?"

"You'd better stop talking and quickly cancel that Mind Control Technique" the person in front of me snapped.

"Why are you even slandering? Don't you know for yourself that I'm a man who can't be equated with you, superhumans."

"Stop that shit. From the beginning it was clear that you could control the mind."

"Where did that thought come from?"

"Huh, do you think I'm stupid. In the beginning, you had made Wili angry for no reason, is not it surely your act in order to manipulate Cresh's mind. Because of you too, Cresh made an expression like when Wili was trying to hurt you, when you were just a stranger who had just met her."

"Looks like you're pretty smart-"

"It turns out you were -"

Without lingering, I immediately cut off his words before he could continue.

"But you've misunderstood me now."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you're just a fool now who can't think clearly, because your friend is in trouble. Then in that state, you're reminded of something, plus suspecting someone then reach a stupid conclusion."

"You jerk!"

In a provoked state, the person in front raised his sword, trying to split me apart. At the same time, I kicked his crotch. It was certain that person would scream in pain while rolling on the ground.

"Hey, asshole! What are you doing?"

Wili shouted furiously, I already knew he must be upset and would justly attack. But, caution is very necessary, because above and beyond, there are people who attack. Seeing the situation a little favorable, this self crouched and kicked the left leg of Wili to make him lose balance and fall. If there were no interference, all the attacks would hit him.

In critical moments, I believe the three of them want to cancel the attack. But it's all too late to do.

Suddenly, the purple chains blocked all the attacks that were launched. But Wili fell on me.

Damn, why should I be hit.

"You're good at making people hate you, fucking Kei" said Cresh, who looked very tired, as if he was about to faint completely.

I stood to throw away the Willi that fell on the back.

"I'm just not very good at getting along. Looks like, you've managed to dispose of that past of yours."

"Who said I threw it away? I just let it go and tried to accept all of it so as not to get caught up in it."

"That's how it should be."

Finally, the first goal is completed. Next, I will make them as pawns that I will run at will. However, it was enough for today, it was exhausting to have to put in a lot of effort. I have to be patient in a minute.
