Will of chaos

“I know I agreed to this, but I was drunk.” (Samira)

“It sounds like you didn’t find the idea interesting before we started.” (I)

“In my defense, I thought it was a joke, as this is beyond insane.” (Elsaris)

“That was just revenge for what happened 1 month ago, right?” (Samira)

“There’s a saying in my old world, revenge is a dish best served cold, like ice cream.” (I)

“Everyone loves ice cream.” (I)

“Ice cream.” (Hinata)

“I think the saying wasn’t like that.” (Samira)

“What is ice cream?” (Kira)

“Ice flakes with a sweet syrup on top.” (Elsaris)

“That sounds kind of simple.” (Kira)

“Simplicity can also be delicious in cooking, but what Elsaris said is a slushie, ice cream is different and uses milk, I think?” (I)

“I’m sure the name was ice cream when I bought it, it was on a tropical island where I went to meet some pirates, I’m sure the seller said the name was ice cream.” (Elsaris)

“Is there no ice cream in this world? How do you make ice cream?” (Samira)

“I don’t know, there are a lot of things I didn’t bother to research in my old world.” (I)

“They veered off topic.” (Byakko)

“The master always got down to business.” (Nix)

“They are coming!” (Eve)

“What!? It was too fast.” (I)

“< Shadow Prison >” (Nix)

We were enveloped by Nix’s shadow as she uses her shadow-turning ability to flee.

The truth is that we are stealing from various Religions that have caused us problems namely the Temple of the Law, the Demon of Envy Sect, the Temple of the Ruler, and the Church of Purity.

These religions were a real nuisance during our time on this island, some among them were especially hateful of their ways of doing things.

I would like to say that I am a good person who is above petty revenge and conspiracies, but the truth is that revenge has always been too tempting to avoid. 𝑜𝘷𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

During our time on the island, I learned some of the customs of this island, one of these customs caught my attention for the possibilities it provides.

It seems that people of the various religions and organizations on the island hold a meeting at a neutral place in the center of the island, they do it to settle small disputes and resolve various problems that happen during the month, these meetings take place once a month and always last a few hours.

It also seems that these unsupervised hours are always followed by a time of chaos as the youngsters who should have come to train do the things they are normally forbidden to do, of course, that doesn’t include breaking the island’s rules.

Many types of duels, dangerous bets, or fights to the death within the Dungeons take place during these few hours.

In these meetings are gathered as Guild Masters, High Priests, and leaders of organizations, even our group had to send representatives, that’s because Vanessa and Diana have very special identities that everyone on this island has already noticed.

I was also invited to participate, but I refused for two reasons, the first because I don’t want to be in a problematic place with so many people stronger than me, and the second reason is to put this plan into practice.

We are stealing from those troublesome religions that have already made it clear that they are coming after us when we meet somewhere else off the island.

It seems that the people of the island cannot chase people who leave the island either, because otherwise, no one would come here to train with no opportunity to leave when they finish their respective training for fear of the attacks of their enemies when they leave the island.

I dared to invade these places to steal when I confirmed that the strongest people would not be present, I had also discovered that these places were not considered sacred grounds because all the island’s territory belongs to the island’s owner and as such cannot belong to any of these religions, this invalidates many of the protections they would normally have.

I took advantage of all of this and used the best people possible for this big heist, it took 2 weeks of detailed planning and when we started the heist was amazing.

I felt inside a thieves movie, even knowing that no one could kill us or even fight us if we were seen because of the island rules, it would still be a big headache and we would be forced to participate in the disputes that the other side decides, so I don’t want to get caught by them, if they don’t catch us, they can’t do anything about it without proof.

Unfortunately, it didn’t have very important items, but we still managed to steal all the money stored in those places, there were also some weapons, armor, combat clothes, accessories, and magic items that we stole.

Since we were there, we also stole all the materials they collected from the Dungeons that were stored, I’m sure this must not be even 10% of the things of value that these religions keep on the island.

In addition to the most valuable things that should be in the hands of those in charge, there are also many weapons, armor, and other things distributed among the people of these religions.

But that’s ok, I already knew that nothing important would be on a training place like this island, this is just a little revenge.

3 hours later, inside the Dungeon Mansion.

“They pursued us more intensely than expected.” (I)

“They put a spear through my stomach.” (Elsaris)

“Your fault, Samira could easily dodge that.” (I)

“I couldn’t take the risk.” (Elsaris)

Sigh

“You’re too overprotective…” (Samira)

“I wanted to hang out with you…” (Ibuki)

“I needed you in sight.” (I)

“Of all of us, you are the only one capable of imitating the master’s every move and expression.” (Kira)

“I want more food, please.” (Byakko)

“Here it is.” (Alice)

“Ibuki only gets that because he’s always watching Father.” (Samira)

“Thank you for the compliment.” (Ibuki)

“I don’t think that was a compliment.” (I)

“Two masters…” (Hinata)

Inside the mansion I was lying on the couch with a copy of me lying on top of me, this was Ibuki who drank a potion from Lyra to look identical to me and used an item to hide her Aura just like I’ve been doing for weeks.

Me, Kira, Samira, and the others were wearing the clothes of different religions, the same clothes we used during the robberies, we did this so if we were seen the blame would be placed on another religion, I wanted them to keep fighting each other to forget about me that should be in plain sight fishing, at least that’s what I asked Ibuki to do.

“Now just sit back while I play innocent.” (I)
