《The Toys of the Fool》Vol.2 Epilogue - New Beginnings and Returns
Advertisement
BANG!
A man dressed in light armour that was a guard to the city came bursting into the office where Eden was while being served by White who was dressed as a maid.
“Master Eden there seems to be a monster invasion that is heading straight to the city! Ah....sorry I intruded in the wrong time...” the guard tried to leave seeing that Eden was 'busy' with that beauty of a maid.
Angry, Eden immediately threw the cup plus the hot drink at the guard soaking him in hot tea.
“Ahhhh!”
“Stop screaming and report already! Besides I do NOT have 'that' kind of hobby! Alexandra was the damn one who forced this on me!” shouted Eden still annoyed like hell that such a misunderstanding could happen like that. With his luck, rumours of Eden taking a maid that was a beauty hostage would spread and then some idiots would....
Eden remembered the times the 'heroes' barged into his office and attacked him without warning. Naturally his defences kicked up and he slaughtered them into pieces immediately. Only later he found that those idiots came to attack him on false rumours that could not be true. Who the hell would kidnap a young child and torture her?!
'Although that was around the same period when I was training Anna now that I think about it....'
Letting though thoughts go, Eden focused on the words the guard was spilling out though he didn't even catch half the words coming out since he was talking too fast.
“Summarise the situation in 20 words or less or.....else....” said Eden in a threatening tone.
The guard feeling that his life was suddenly in peril immediately reworded his thoughts into:
“Monsters are attacking. They will come in later today. They are mostly demon like creatures that came from the north.”
With no words left to spare, the guard explained the situation like that. Eden hearing those words however immediately understood what happened and then proceeded to blame the maid next to him.
“White...isn't this your fault? I mean you left your mountains to have a nice vacation here.”
[Vacation my ass! You teleported me without warning and then that other one forced me into this costume that makes men and women alike stare at me! Isn't this your fault that you didn't finish them all off?]

“Well it isn't my fault that I didn't stomp each and every insect in my way is it? That would be too cruel.”
The guard was listening in to this 'one way' conversation between Eden and the maid. Only after a while that Eden noticed the guard that he ordered, “Send a message to the other caption guards that residents are to evacuate away from the north wall....there is no need to flee the city either way. Also gather those brats for me as well since I may need their 'help'.”
“Yes sir!”
The guard saluted to Eden and immediately left for his job. However Eden did not know that later on, rumours of how he kept a beauty of a maid captive and took away her voice as well as taunt her by talking to her even though she couldn't respond at all. That was how bad of a reputation he still had to the city resident to begin with.
[What are you going to do now?] White asked with a puzzled face on.
Eden thought about it....and then responded with:
“I'll deal with that invasion later...there shouldn't be too many deaths as a result...plus since they're this close, those up north are already dead either way so there's no point thinking about it...also it might be a good time to show those new brats the strength of the guild.”
[Aren't they still in that Eternal Dungeon?]
“I made a spell before that can bypass that restriction and summon them back.”
[Also I believe they are now going to face that Behemoth creature. Won't most of them die without you saving them?]
Eden remembered how they were completely wiped last time but this time it seems that Sain had 'awakened' something interesting...
“Sain is making more progress than I thought so they might actually win....but unlikely since the enemy is over twice their level in all ways including and especially their experience fighting and killing others.”
At that moment, Eden felt like something was 'wrong in the force', like a 'great evil' appeared and immediately made way to escape as fast as he could.

“EDEN~ I finished modifying that maid outfit for you as well~!”
“FUCK! I need to escape now!”
BANG!
From behind White made a sneak attack on Eden at that moment and forced him down when Alexandra appeared.
“....Why?” Eden asked to White though he suspected the reason already. Currently White was in a low cut maid outfit that was mostly black but had white frills at the skirt with a garter belt and was also wearing that head gear you see on maids often as well. In Alexandra's hands were an even lower cut one and was also completely pink and white....and had even more frills as well.
[I don't want to forced in that frilly pink maid costume....this one was bad enough....]
Eden's thoughts were correct and he immediately tried to call for help but it was useless since Alexandra was here. Between Eden who was pinned down and defenceless or Alexandra with that frightening glow in her eyes....100 of 100 people who side with Alexandra instead of him.
“DAMNIT! Why at this moment.....!”
Eden could only curse at the Gods once again for Alexandra as he experienced once again one of the most traumatic events of his life.

Elsewhere....at a dark place where no living creature existed except for the dark hunters that prey on shadows....
“Twisted Wonderland....” muttered a 'young' witch dressed in dark brown with a large witch hat that sparkled like the night sky. This person was a witch that travelled along side the representative of the Gods and the enemy of Gods and fought along side them.
From the feet of this person, came a spell that rewrote reality itself. A 'Marble Reality' that corrodes the real world and creates a new one in it's place temporary.
[Kill that THING!]
The dark hunters, numbered in hundreds came from the shadows and as the shadows used their dark arts to try and kill this being. With no form but as a shadow they were almost literally invincible against all livings, but it was still not enough in front of this power.
The dead land where they stood was transformed into a bright flower field.
[What in the world....what is this?!]
The Dark Hunters were exposed in this strange land that suddenly appeared.
Viv let out a small smile and said to these confused Dark Hunters, “This is a peaceful place....yes peaceful....now disappear.”
Suddenly the flower field that spread across a large distance of land withered away turning black and red as the sound of music came from far away. The march of an army appeared to these Dark Hunters that could not escape back into the shadows.
It was an army of twisted creatures like they never seen before. The fairy tale of countless stories appeared deranged and twisted beyond all recognition. Little Red Riding Hood turned into a half wolf monster with giant eyes and a wolf body and human head, The Bunny from Alice in Wonderland turned into a ragged large doll with teeth that was half the size of it's head and Snow White and Cinderella was riding on a carriage being pulled forward by 7 dwarves that were enslaved and whipped as evil witches.
[Ah....AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!]
In a matter of a minute, the Dark Hunters all disappeared, but not dead while Viv was surrounded by the screams that came from the heart. Soon enough...'Twisted Wonderland' disappeared leaving Viv all alone in this dead land with nothing but him in it....except the last screams of the Dark Hunters that lived in the Shadows and would never leave the shadows ever again.
“I wonder what Al and Eden are doing....I should visit them....”
With that line of thought, this witch started heading back to the continent where his friends were leaving behind a trail of not death but screams of horror that seemed to follow him wherever he went.

Unfettered Spear
[Ratata~] Being showered with bullets from all directions, I certainly don't feel so good. Especially, feeling the bullets passing through my body, which is simply torture. After God knows how long, the gunfire finally stopped. I had my head down, contemplating that this was the end. However, it was at this time that I heard someone jumping off the car in front. I looked up and saw that it was the "Boss." "I should've done this much sooner, you really done a number on my men despite being alone!" "I must admit that you are good, but too good that you're a threat to MY throne!!" "I–" Alas, the Boss' monologue was cut halfway through. When he held his head high, an action to signify his pride, a bullet pierced through his under chin into his brain and out the back of his head. He looked at me in disbelief, like the others around. None of them anticipated that I could still fire my pistol, much less accurately aiming at one's head at the hip level, after being turned into a bloody meat-sieve. "You... Monster!!!" To the Boss' dying words, I only replied with a smile as my strength left my body.

The Other - a (man) called Ted
A figure, large and present through time in ways most would not understand. Seemingly uncaring about all except his own principles, the one we refer to as the Other (for legitimate reasons, lest some accidentally call upon his old name), finds his way through life. Though refusing to claim the title himself, this (immortal)'s projects have begun to leave him behind, awaiting some accident to move him back into the world. - - - - - - Initially intended to be a novella, then a project to keep me sane in busy times IRL, this will be considered the roughest of drafts. Also, IRL may prevent me from regular updates after the backlog is done. Tags with a grain of salt, items may be mentioned briefly in story so far, or in chapters already written but not published. Content warnings just in case. Some perspective switching in the first several chapters. Legitimately though, in the first chapters an explanation is provided for referencing to the MC as 'the Other.'
