《Stop That Hacker!》Chapter 5

"What?" Rehan was all ears now.
"Did something happen?" I asked, worried.
"It's all because of that stupid game they played yesterday." The girl struggled to explain. "Look they won't talk to me, but maybe Ace's friends will talk to you two. Please."
Once she left Rehan sighed. "She probably just can't reach him."
"I don't want to take her worry lightly," I said, taking my bag and heading to talk to his friends.
"I'll come with you," Remi told me.
"You're worrying for nothing. It's Ace we're talking about. Everyone likes him. No one can lay a finger on him." Rehan reassured us but I could tell he has a slight doubt in what he was saying. He was our youngest after all.
"I'm sure he's fine. I just want to check." I told him and I and Remi headed behind the school where Ace and his friends used to hang out.
Indeed there was going to be fuss and drama. Instead of their usual laughing and making noise and smoking, the boys were visibly alarmed and they sat there in silence.
"Hey there." I raised my hand politely. "Hi." I cleared my throat. "I'm Ace's sister..." I approached them carefully. "His um...Girlfriend said he might be in trouble and I just wanted to check..um..can someone tell me where I can find him?"
The guys had instantly shown me pity. One of them which I had recognized rose up. "Francy, right?"
I nodded. I've never met Ace's friends, mostly because he never brought them home nor created any situation in which any of us can ever talk to them. Rehan and Kai always brought their friends home, but Ace never. And that was very alarming to me.

He came closed and leaned over me. "I'm sorry to tell you this. Your brother is with Lucy."
I blinked twice processing what he said. "Lucy? Is that his new girlfriend?"
He shook his head. "Lucy is a guy."
Remi behind me burst out laughing but everyone was dead serious.
"I'm sorry just calling a guy Lucy..." She quickly zipped up her mouth taking a step back.
"They don't know who Lucy is?" Another guy spoke.
"Don't tell her." Another one interrupted. "Let's just pray Ace will come back to us alive"
"What is going on, tell me." I ordered.
They stayed silent.
"I'm calling my parents."I pulled out my phone and the guy grabbed my hand. "Do you want to get us all in trouble including your brother?"
"Then tell me where he is."
"We told you." The guy in the back interrupted again. "He was summoned by Lucy. And all because of that game yesterday."
"Who is Lucy?" Remi asked, earning glances from the guys.
"Lucy is the devil." The guy answered.
It took a second to sink in. Lucy -Lucifer. The devil's den. That must be the guy who owns the place. And Ace was there yesterday.
"What does he want with Ace?" I asked.
"Not just Ace. Every guy that was at the devil's den yesterday and played the new game on his expensive equipment was summoned. Apparently, someone broke something while he wasn't present and now he is out for blood. Do you know that the last guy who pissed off Lucy ended up moving to another country?"
"No way."Remi joked from behind me and they all looked at her pissed off.
"You, come here." He ordered her.

Remi refused but his look was threatening and somehow she made it next to me.
He grabbed her chin. "Do you know why no one laughs when we call him Lucy? Because no one dares to laugh about it. He knows everything and if he wants, he can find your deepest and darkest fears and use them to bury you."
Remi and I gulped.
"How?" She asked with a shaky voice.
The guy pulled out his phone and flipped it in his hand. "This. Doesn't your phone know everything about you? " He smirked. "My parents are divorcing, why am I late, I send nudes what do I do...your phone has every photo, every text, every little thing you ever think off, is on here and with his capabilities he can hack in your life and shut it down.'
Remi nodded. "Lucy is a hacker. Ruins life. Ace in danger. Got it."
"So who is the guy that broke something? It's not Ace is it?" I asked, worried knowing my brother was nowhere to be found yesterday.
"Ace swears it's not him but ... that won't stop Lucy if he is out for blood."
My insides turned upside down. I grabbed Remi's hand and we ran out of there.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.

Noli Me Tank in a Mall
Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are important cultural works that ignited the Philippine Revolution against Spain. They are novels that exposed to the populace the abuses and the injustices of their Spanish colonial rulers, the hypocrisy of their priests, and inherent cruelty of their class structure over the powerless masses. Unfortunately, they rose up in the middle of the Spanish-American War, one which saw Spain lose most of their overseas colonies and decisively end as a World Power. The war ended in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, in which Spain also sold the Philippines to the USA for the sum of twenty million dollars. The revolutionary government was then crushed by the overwhelming military might of the United States and the Philippines turned into a territory. While the Philippines stands as the USA's greatest successes in nation-building, their early occupation left almost one-fifth of the population dead from combat and disease. Jose Rizal was executed by the Spanish long before knowing what might happen to his country. The world presented within The Noli and the El Fili is therefore stuck frozen in time, forever caught in that moment before a Revolution. Now let's see what happens to this nation if we give it the Light Novel treatment and jam the entirety of the Internet into their protagonist's skull and watch him try to fix things with his unfortunate tendency to sound like a supervillain. Updates Mondays and Fridays. Note: The Noli and El Fili have been public domain since 1946. This is completely fair game.
