《Winter Sovereign》Chapter 38: Aura's method of Information Gathering
Advertisement
In the city.
Serra recalled his darling wife's words when she told Serra her method of gathering information. On a side note, the other two have also used this method and guarantee it's effectiveness.
He didn't originally like this idea but when this was further explained...
He changed his mind.
If his friends and his lover says so, why should he doubt them?
Being skeptical is a good habit.
But with proof in his eyes, why should he hesitate?
Could this be a case where, 'Love is blind'?
Unfortunately, regardless of the age or status of the ones afflicted, this disease affects them all with 100% accuracy.
And so, Serra decides to use Aura's method of gathering information.
Aura's method of gathering information was quite simple.
Yet it had a rather clever and well-thought of approach.
Still, the method of gathering information is executed by...
Attacking underworld organizations and taking information from them.
Indeed... This is quite despicable and rude.
However, underworld organizations deal with crime.
They do things like assasinations, robbery, kidnapping and other crimes so they shouldn't complain when this happens to them.
Hence, as Aura said,
"Since they're criminals, they should be prepared to have the same crimes afflicted to them. They do evil deeds everyday without cause for concern, they're ruled out."
This is a clear case of double standards so Serra was hesitant but Aura and the others succeeded in convincing him in the end that since it's criminals, not innocents, then there's no problem.
For a more detailed explanation, Aura said this:
"When gathering information, it's fine to speak to commoners but they usually only know the local news and some major news that were already filtered by major powers and aren't worth knowing that much. To get detailed information about the world, you can speak to scholars who are knowledgeable of history or check the library. It's a simple matter to learn their language and master it. However, most of that knowledge are filtered as well and are written under the orders of those above and don't possess any crucial information. They have to worry whether or not that major power would come after them after all. Thus, the best way to gather accurate information, is to go to the underworld organizations and take their information. They hardly care about others as they operate from the shadows and thus possess unaltered information. In the underworld, information is just as valuable as treasure."

From these words, Serra decided to trust his wife's judgement.
And thus, Serra decided to attack an underworld organization to gather information.
At present, Serra was standing in front of a scar-faced man who was glaring at him.
"Who the hell are you!?"
He roared.
His base was attacked and his subordinates beaten one by one until the intruder finally arrives.
And the intruder is actually a delicate-looking young boy!?
"Just a passing traveler. I need information so I came to take it from you."
"What!? Like hell we will you shameless bastard!"
He grew even angrier.
Even the boss of an underworld organization has his pride.
He won't go down without a fight.
"Sigh... So I'll have to use this then."
Serra unleashed his aura upon them.
Instantly, they cowered in fear.
They couldn't even think properly.
Damm it! How could such a thing happen to us!?
They roared in fury at their own hearts.

No More Respawns
Synopsis: The first time Allen died, he was forced back into a living hell where death is temporary, and power is all that matters. With evil and depravity as the rule, tragedy becomes comedy and life becomes an act. Only a deal with a shady god can get him back to his old life, but what happens if there’s nothing left to save? Maybe hell isn’t so bad if you have infinite lives… until you don’t. Needless to say, it’s all fun and games until there’s no more respawns. Foreword: This story is meant primarily as an action adventure and secondarily as a dark and nihilistic comedy. It may not be readily apparent in the beginning, but that's what I have planned (I feel the need to emphasize the dark; don’t rage at me if it gets too ‘traumatizing’ or something). I’m going to take my time with this, so it won’t immediately inundate you with doom and gloom. This is also a comedy, remember? On that note, if for some cursed reason you just can't handle either the references or the jokes, I am willing to battle in the comments. Anyway, I still put a significant amount of effort into the system, so I hope you enjoy that part. It is a little bulky, I'll admit to that, but I wanted to try something new and its more fun when there's more depth to it. Regardless, I still have a lot of fun doing math in the middle of writing a fictional story (/s). I also want to see if I can keep from messing up the pacing. Many times, I end up going too fast because I'm afraid of the story getting boring, which tends to ironically have the opposite effect. I'm still learning I suppose; we'll see how things go. Lastly, please leave reviews and comments, they really mean a lot to me and (usually) help me improve considerably. I'll be asking for feedback in the polls and I do still check the old ones from time to time. Notes: The story takes a bit of time to develop; give it time if you're here for drama, grimdark, or antihero. The system is all blue boxes and I'm not half-assing the numbers. Chapters will be between 1k and 2k words usually. I always use the oxford coma, fight me. Might drop if rating falls below 4 stars, idk. It depends on how my life is going.

8 183System Overclock
Luna Portalla has many skills, but getting herself out of bad situations isn't one of them. She's a wanted criminal, a decent liar, a questionable planner, a technological whiz, but most importantly, a big sister. Sarah is her everything, her umbrella in a ruthless storm. But Sarah isn't afraid to speak her mind, oh no no no; people are people, words are words, and she misses Luna. Everything here sucks. Why does she have to do so much work, and why do all the bad men look like robot zombies? What is that smell? Why is there a tiger locked in a cage, and why are the beds so flippin' hard? There's only one answer: she's been kidnapped, and the only way out is back the way she came. System Overclock is a cyberpunk story told from two perspectives – the kidnapped girl and the sister who will stop at nothing to find her. COVER ART BY HWPERFIDY
