"Then! Why am i still here! WHAT DID YOU TRADE!"
:
"a life."
:
"What?!"
:
"I traded my life.. for yours."
:
"What is that supposed to mean?!"
Silence engulfed the gang as they try to decipher the moment.
:
"Tzuyu.. That is you isnt it." she broke the silence and curiosity of all
Yuzu dropped her head and never uttered a word
:
"T-Tzuyu?— but—"
:
"I am not her.. I am Yuzu..— I want to spend a life with my sisters, Normally. Hence why— I forced Youngchae and Hyun to become human with me.."
:
"What.."
:
"Hyun unnie, Youngchae Unnie.. You were both not supposed to exist.. I.. Was not supposed to exist.."
:
"I'm confused.."
:
"That very day, when the blood moon of Tzuyu had been over.. The Demon Asmodeus killed me, Since I was not important to him anymore. Xal... Took me in"
:
"WHAT?!"
:
"Xal showed me a new world.. a world where I can live as a normal person, Be a normal Esper, Have my sisters with me.. but for a price to pay.— My memories."
:
"So you mean to say.. You really are Tzuyu." Yuzu shook her head
:
"I am Yuzu.. and Tzuyu, Is in me.. My memories of every single one of you, had really disappeared.. Tzuyu however remained with me the whole time.. She doesnt even remember herself, as she stayed as a shadow to guide me— but I was aware of her. I learned to appreciate her gentle heart. She was meant to be put away, to be my slave, but there is something about her that I just couldnt." she chuckled "Maybe, because she's my other half"
:
"So.. how did you remember."
:
"The night i kissed you, Tzuyu's memories came back. and I have to get her out for everyone's sake."

:
"But Yuzu.. how is Dahyun and Chaeyoung alive then.."
:
"they took my life.. I signed a devil's contract.. to let them live, after my death— after Yuzu's death, your Tzuyu will return."
:
"No. You mean.."
:
"It's either me or her.. but, there's no point of living as Yuzu..— it's my destiny anyway."
:
"There should be another way."
:
"There is a way.. to save Tzuyu.. but not me. I dont exist.. I am just a host."
:
"Y-Yuzu.."
:
"It's okay.. I know what we should do. but you gotta trust me."
The gang glanced at each other hesitantly to give Yuzu their trust, but continued.
:
"Seulgi needs eight keys, Nine being the king's which is Tzuyu's. all eight of you have that key which are your ally crystals, or pieces including my sisters in the circle. Unlock the pedestal underground at Seulgi's portal to get the final crystal. My sisters will regain their memories the moment they step foot onto Seulgi's portal. When you get the heart stone, Defeat Seulgi, and Get Tzuyu's memories from her, It's in her pendant. I can't get close to it. that way, Tzuyu will return to claim her throne."
:
"Wait.. You'll not stay?"
:
"even if i do want.. i can't.. Cause i already died" she smiled.
:
"but—"
:
"I had fun spending my time with you two.. really" she smiled.
:
"Yuzu. are you sure about this?"
:
"I am sure."
:
"You know. It'll be quite lonely without a rival. You are free to visit my portal anytime."
:
"Thanks!— but you still annoy me"
:
"Dont ruin the mood" he chuckled
:
"So what's the plan?"
:
"All eight of you have to get underground to Seulgi's portal. It's under this tomb. Me, Rose and the others.. we'll try to get Seulgi and her allies distracted."

:
"Can't i help?"
:
"No.. I'd rather have you safe.. so Tzuyu can still have you in one piece."
:
"Yuzu.. I—"
:
"I'll be fine Sana." she smiled as she gently grabbed Sana's hand and kissed it softly
"Thank you.. for giving my life color.— Tzuyu.. is definitely lucky to have you." and lets go as she walks away from her and towards her group.
:
"Yuzu..?" she called out
:
"yeah?"
:
"Please be careful.."
:
"I will." she smiled and waved.
:
Tzuyu.. if you can hear me.. Please be careful.. both of you.

The Gam3: Origin
An engineer, Bradley Cooper, is finally beginning to settle into a routine. Realizing where his life is headed, he takes a gamble on a vague government job offer and finds himself secreted off to an undisclosed location for a clandestine orientation.Just what is this 'Game' exactly? And why is the government so interested in having an ordinary man such as him take part? Well, all Bradley needs to do to find out is sign 5 years of his life away. What could go wrong?--------------------A Prequel/Side-story of The Gam3 by Ephemerality (with permission) which you can read on this site - http://royalroadl.com/fiction/1193. You won't need to read that to read this. This is **not** a coordinated effort and so may venture out of canon with the original (although I will try very hard to avoid that, it will happen eventually). I hope you will enjoy it regardless.
8 782Adelaide
The entries here are transcribed from the log of Marie Ruiz, first mate of the Adelaide. It was definitely, definitely not published without her permission or knowledge by a certain lovable artificial intelligence for the purpose of sharing it with my AI friends on other ships who follow it like a soap opera. No way, no how. Remember guys, don’t go spreading this around too much. Only pass it on to those you can trust. God forbid this should ever end up on a public network… (Adelaide is a science fiction web serial featuring the adventures of a crew of smugglers. In space. It’s on the softer end of the soft/hard sci-fi spectrum because the author got a C in physics. Updates every other Sunday.)
8 102Yurai
The year is 2032.This year would be the first step that would lead to an explosive and rapid advance in true AI development.One of the reasons being the creation of the first recorded autonomous ai that would be written down in history as Yurai.
8 96OrcFat
I was reincarnated into another world as an orc, but wait, why am I still fat? This story is about a young man named Robert, who in his previous life was by most accounts an average person, with the exception of his terrible luck, coined by him as 'rough day Robert' or 'RDR'. One day he suffers a seemingly non-fatal injury but as his luck would have it he ends up dying regardless. Through this he has a suspicious encounter with an uknown entity that results in what can only be described as a reincarnation to another world. Despite his apprehensiveness he gives the benefit of the doubt to this weird scenario and accepts it, but to his surprise he wakes up in the body of... an orc? Is this just a sick joke or an adventure in disguise? See how Robert overcomes adversity and rewrites his own story with a new life, one hopefully with more luck than the last.
8 178Aris Cretu
What do you do when your entire life as it once was is abruptly ended, you meat what may or may not be a god, and then get pitchforked back into the world because 'whoops, you wern't supposed to die yet...' For Aris Cretu, a whole lot it seems. Second Person is used initally, but I finally burn out on that format and switch away from it partway through.Complete, with a total of 80 chapters. On The Series - This series was written as a Choose Your own Adventure (CYoA) on the /r/HFY forum. The between chapter votes have been omitted, as they are not part of the story, despite their influence on it. On the Author's Notes at the Beginning of Chapters - These were included in the original document, and are included here for the purpose of completeness. Spelling, grammatical, and formatting changes have been made in the process of archiving this story: none of the contents of the story has been substantially affected.
