《RE: Choice》Chapter 16-2 - Childhood - Beck
Advertisement
Something inside my mind tugs me to ignore both of them.
"My name isn't Boris or Michael. You got the wrong person."
I say and walk off.
"Wait! Please come with me for your own sake!"
"Come with you? Hah! You probably gather those slaves so you can sell them yourself on the black market."
I ignore them and keep walking. What's with them? Are they both trying to kidnap me because I look like a slave? I need to get this choker off as soon as possible. But how am I going to do that…? I don't have any money and have no idea where I'm going. Hmm… I should probably check the alleys or somewhere less crowded. I'm bound to find some people by themselves I can extort.
I go in the first alley I come across that leads into a dead end. Who designed this crappy place… Why is there this empty space here in between three buildings…? I turn around and go back toward the main street. I follow the road endlessly not knowing where I'm going.
At some point, I hear screaming close by. A moment later, I see a young man wearing a metal choker run into my view from the cross street. He has a bloody dagger in his right hand.
"Get out of my way!"
He yells as he pushes through a group of people. I smile. Did he kill his master too? Who's that? I notice someone running after the slave. He's wearing a full set of armor and carries a sword in his right hand. He's fast! He catches up to the slave in a few seconds and slashes his back.
"Gah!"
The man drops his dagger and falls to the ground. Oh, shit… The armed man doesn't finish off the guy on the ground and just stands there.
"Isn't that Beck? He's doing a nice job as always."
I hear someone say around me.
"Hey, Beck! There's another slave over here!"
I feel a chill go down my back as the armed man turns toward me. His eyes meet mine. Oh, shit!
What should I do…?

Player Killer
In the world of New Dawn, the citizens seem to be suffering a divine punishment of some sort. The monsters that plague them are worse then devils, demons, or depraved criminals. The devils have their own twisted morality, demons are not intrinsically bad—they're just above humans in the food chain—and depraved criminals can at least be killed. The undying, capricious monsters kill anything and everything, devouring all in their sights like a swarm of locusts. What's more, the lords and kings who should be protecting them seem to be working with these monsters. When all seems lost, it falls to a young boy to save his people from these monsters… from the players. … In the players' eyes, he is a hidden boss—possibly even the final boss! In the developers' eyes… what the heck is this bug?!

Midnight Origins: Arrival
On a lush planet known as Bhar, Verun is now the leading nation in the development of the rivaled schools of Magic and Science. Having brought forth an era of peace and prosperity for themselves through the development of Magitech, The High council was eager to spread their knowledge and beliefs to the furthest reaches of the continent, with the goal of ending senseless conflicts and prioritizing advancements in Magitech and improving the quality of life. This ambition, however, is not without opposition. Most followers side with one school or another, believing it is superior in nature. This conflict dates back to the very beginning of civilization itself, where it is believed by both sides that their gods descended from the heavens, bestowing upon them the knowledge that would bring the world into a new age. And though some took great interest in their differences, others would seek to convert each other through any means necessary. That being the case, The High council, leaders of Verun, had made the necessary preparations to handle threats and attempt diplomacy between the remaining opposers. Talented volunteers were hand chosen to be among the military, tasked with protecting the nation from both internal and external threats. And although non-biological creations have improved quality of life, they are not yet capable of replacing the military. The necessary research and development for such a thing was thought to be decades away, until Councilman Eranor encountered an anomaly in his facility…
