After finishing training that day, all the team members decided to eat together. They went together to a restaurant not far from the training building. Actually, it was the birthday of one of their staff. In addition to dinner, it's also a celebration.
They finally walked into a room in the restaurant that had been booked earlier. This room is large enough with a large round table and enough to accommodate all members and staff. Everyone was sitting in their seats and ready to enjoy their dinner.
After enjoying dinner, Onodera suddenly invites everyone to play a game. He said it would be boring after dinner and then went home. It's better to talk together and play games. Some people immediately agreed with Onodera's suggestion. But not with Yuki. Yuki sees his watch and wants to ask his friend for permission to go home early. But, the request was clearly denied by his friends.
"Come on, Yuki. We'll just play the game for a while. In an hour we'll be home too." Shimizu said.
Masahiro who sees Yuki's face tries to mediate.
"Yuki, do you have anything important? If not, stay for an hour. It's Aoki-san's birthday. It's not good if you leave when the others are still here." Masahiro whispers to Yuki who is sitting next to him.
"All right." Yuki smiled. Finally everyone is happy because Yuki is still staying and willing to play with them.
"What game are we going to play?" said Yuji who looked very excited.
"Truth or Dare!" said Onodera.
Hearing Onodera's words, everyone cheered. They haven't played this game in a long time. Some of his friends immediately raised their hands to agree. Yuki and Masa immediately smiled and looked at each other. Yuki remembers once the last time they played this game, it all ended in a riot. Many choose to drink rather than answer with honesty. Because Yuki knows, hir friends' questions are very unusual.
"Are you guys ready? I'll turn the bottle around." Onodera said. Then he put the bottle in the middle of the table and turned it around.
The bottle spun quickly. Everyone can't wait to see who the bottle will be appointed for the first time. The bottle started spinning slowly and almost stopped. Finally the bottle stopped and pointed at Fukuzawa. Everyone laughed. This time Shimizu offers to ask Fukuzawa a question.
"Truth or Dare?" Shimizu said.
"Truth."
"Okay, what's your biggest or weirdest fantasy?" said Shimizu. All were surprised and laughed at the question given by Shimizu.
"Wow, this time you have to answer." Fujii laughed.
Fukuzawa only smile at his bestfriend's question. He had already guessed from the start that Shimizu's question would definitely be strange.

"Okay, it's easy. The biggest and strangest fantasy? Emm, I want to do it outdoor like on the beach. Like that." Fukuzawa replied casually.
"Huh? What do you want to do?" asked Ran, who didn't know what Fukuzawa meant.
"Ssttt, you don't need to know, Ran." Issei immediately patted Ran on the shoulder. Everyone laughed at it.
This time, it was Fukuzawa who was going to turn the bottle. The bottle immediately turned and stopped in Otsuka's direction. Otsuka smiled in shock and held his chest. He was a little afraid of his senior question.
"Okay young man, Truth or Dare?" said Fukuzawa.
"If I choose Dare, I'm just drinking, right?"
"Not necessarily! HAHA." Yuji replied.
"We could have told you to do whatever we wanted. Whatever it is. Including doing strange things." Taichi said to scare Otsuka.
"Wahh...Okay. Truth."
"I'll give you a simple question. Who would you most like to kiss among us if he were a woman?" said Fukuzawa.
"Wow, what's this question?"
Everyone laughed at Fukuzawa's silly question. Onodera also appeared to tease Otsuka with a wink after hearing the question. Otsuka could only laugh and look at all of his senior faces. He looks like he's choosing who he'll kiss if they're women.
"Okay, I've chosen. I chose Masahiro-san." Otsuka replied smiling shyly while holding his head. Everyone laughed.
"Me?" said Masahiro smiling and surprised.
"Why did you choose him?" asked Fujii.
"Because Masa-san is very handsome. So if he were a woman, it would be very beautiful too. I'm sorry, Masa-san." replied Otsuka.
"Right. If I become Otsuka, I will also choose Masahiro." Yamauchi said. Hearing this all agreed.
They continued the next round. This time Otsuka immediately turned the bottle around and stopped at Yuki. Everyone immediately cheered and looked forward to the question of what would be given to this cool man.
"Who wants to ask Yuki?" Onodera offered to his friends. Everyone raised their hands. Except Masahiro. He just smiled at his friends. They are very enthusiastic about teasing Yuki. Finally Yuki is asked to choose who will give him the question. This time, Yuki chooses Fujii. He hoped that Fujii would not give him silly questions like everyone else.
"If Fujii gives Yuki an easy question, it won't be interesting." Oya said.
"Are you ready Yuki? This time you can't choose Dare. Because you have to answer it," Fujii said. Yuki smiled nodding.
"Lately I've seen you very happy. I know, of course, because there's a new support system in your life. My question is, have you ever kissed your girlfriend?" said Fujii. Everyone was excited to hear this question.

"Wow, you are so brave Fujii-san." Tomohiro said with giving his thumbs up to Fujii's question.
Masahiro who heard the question was a little surprised. What they mean is Nara. Masa looks at Yuki. He was curious about Yuki's answer.
However, Yuki suddenly picks up the large beer glass that's in front of him and drinks it as punishment for not being able to answer that question. "I won't answer it. That's privacy." Yuki smiled.
Everyone was not satisfied to see Yuki not answer Fujii's question. But they still teased him. Masahiro who heard Yuki's reply only smiled slightly. He took a glass and drank it. He didn't expect to hear that answer. Isn't that obvious? Jealous? Maybe.
"Well, actually you can just answer it with 'ever or never'. It's very unattractive."" Fujii said.
Yuki smiled while shaking his head. It means that Yuki doesn't want to answer it.
"If he doesn't answer it, doesn't that mean it clear?" Shimizu smiled at Yuki. Shimizu clearly wants to tease Yuki.
Yuki took the glass in front of him and drank it. "The answer depends on your mind. I set you free to imagine." Yuki smiled.
"Isn't he cheating?" said Yamauchi.
"Okay, this time it's my turn." Yuki immediately turned the bottle around and stopped at Masahiro.
"Hwaaa... Nice shot!" Yuji said.
"Let me ask." asked Issei.
"If it's Masahiro, I'd also like to ask him." Fukuzawa smiled.
"Me, Me!" Ran said.
"Wow, why are you so excited to prank me?" said Masa, who was surprised that everyone wanted to ask him.
"Okay, I'll ask." Yuki said.
"You want to ask what? You already know all the facts about me. No need to bother asking." Masa said.
"Truth or Dare?" said Yuki.
"Dare." Masahiro replied quickly. But others didn't accept Masa chose Dare. He had to choose Truth.
"Why are you forcing me?" Masahiro laughed.
"Okay, you can only choose Truth, Masa. My question is, who is your most beautiful Ex?" said Yuki.
Masahiro who was drinking was surprised to hear Yuki's question. He almost even spouted the beer he drank. He immediately looked at Yuki's smiling face next to him. Everyone cheered and asked for an honest answer from Masa.
"We've known you for a long time. But I never knew about your love story. Aren't everyone curious about Yanagida Masahiro's love story?" Yuki said. Everyone immediately agreed with Yuki's words.
Masahiro is the only member who has never told about his girlfriend, Ex, or even his relationship with anyone. All his friends were very curious about it. Does someone like Masa have a romantic love story? Does he have a girlfriend right now? Or even he's close with someone. Everyone wants to know what the Japanese volleyball prince's love story is like.
"Emm, I can't answer that. It's privacy." Masahiro who knew the consequences of not being able to answer that question immediately wanted to pick up the glass that was in front of him. But before Masa managed to retrieve it, Yuji had already taken the glass first.
"No, No, No. It's enough Yuki cheated. You can't. You have to answer it." Yuji said.
"Come on, Masa-san," said Miyaura who was curious about Masa's love story too.
Masahiro seemed hesitant to answer. He looked towards Fukuzawa. Fukuzawa just kept quiet and nodded softly like saying 'It's okay'. Actually, Fukuzawa knows who Masahiro's Ex is. But, he doesn't know if Masa's Ex is Yuki's current girlfriend. Masahiro only tells Fukuzawa his past. Because Masa thinks only Fukuzawa is close to him.
"Okay, I'll answer it." Masahiro said. Everyone was silent and focused on Masahiro.
"I only have one ex. I've known her since high school. I finally confessed my feelings when we were in 2nd grade and we dated after that. But it only lasted 2 years. After that we broke up. If you ask me who my most beautiful ex is, I'll answer her. Because my ex-girlfriend is just her. Are you guys satisfied?" Masahiro smiled.
"Wah, which woman managed to become Masa-san's girlfriend? I'm very curious. Is she beautiful?" said Ran.
"She's beautiful and very cheerful." Masahiro smiled.
"What's her name? Are you still in contact with her?" Yuki asked.
"Name? It's a secret. I won't tell you." Masahiro laughed.
"I haven't been in contact with her since we broke up. Okay. Forget it. That's the past." He continued.
"Why did you break up with her?" asked Fujii.
If previously Masahiro's face could still smile, this time he suddenly lost his smile. "Emm, it's my fault. That's just my stupidity. I was too selfish to just let her go. I broke our relationship." Masahiro lowered his face. They just listened to Masa's story. They don't know what to respond to this time.
Fukuzawa who saw this situation immediately tried to change the conversation.
"Okay, let's forget the story of Masa. Now let's continue the game. Taichi, turn the bottle around." Fukuzawa said.
Yuki still saw Masahiro who had already returned to laugh. This is the first time he's heard Masahiro's story. But for Yuki, it's like something Masa and Fukuzawa cover up and Fukuzawa know it. But what?
"Why did you see me?" said Masahiro to Yuki who was just looking at him.
"Nothing."

Apex Immortal: a LitRPG system rampage
"Across the multiverse where the contest for power is the only constant, only a handful have succeeded in reaching the ultimate heights of ascendency and gained the title Apex Immortal. Dominus is one of them, unsurpassed in overwhelming violence, feared across universes. Now, memories locked and stranded far away from everything he’d built, Dominus will face enemies that will challenge even his powers and discover that change is more difficult than destruction." I’ve been writing fiction on and off for the last decade and I’ve always wondered how a peak immortal (or an OP superhero) would single handedly conquer a world that mirrors our own in all of its complexity. As a politics nerd, this is my attempt at answering that question using Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as the primary playbook. The “monsters” are entire political systems with entrenched culture. Expect many versions of real world political systems (and cultures) to be on the hit list. The MC has to successfully institute regime and cultural change without engaging in wholesale genocide and causing the state to fail. Expect things to go wrong pretty quickly as escalating and cascading political and economic effects rapidly go out of control. Methods deployed are not for the faint hearted.
