Ashwaya's dates

(Deep breath). It is the smell of death. It seems like the nightmare hasn't gotten far.

Soulless bodies scattered around the city are the best materials for making specters.

What's the difference between a lost soul and death?

They should be honored to serve me and to be the power through which I'll take over the world.

Rest in peace? As long as they exist in the world, they can never rest in peace.

Even if they are buried deep in the ground or burned to ashes, they will eventually be consumed by insects. If that's the case, why not be my soldiers?

But rest assured I won't take just any body.

As my specters, they must have the best and most powerful bodies.

Don't worry. Since it's you and it's been a pleasure working with you...

I will do my best to make you the most powerful specter.

The most important thing is to have a strong body and quick reactions.

If a specter used to be a fat man indulging in junk food for their entire life, he might as well become insect food.

You seem quite interested in my specters.

Maybe we can try to fight each other? I'm very curious about your fighting style.

No battle is meaningless.

To struggle is human nature. Fighting is just an extension of human instinct, a law of nature.

Uh huh. I didn't expect you to be so naive!

This so-called cooperation is just a temporary relationship based on aligned interests.

And for me, the thrill of war is enough to destroy any relationship.

It's okay if you disagree. I'm not confident I can beat you at the moment.

After all... You have powerful Radiants supporting you...

But one day, I will start my own war where no one will be spared.

What a naive wish... Unfortunately, it is no longer a child's wishing game...

That is exactly what I want.

While we were talking, I missed the best time to train specters.

Should I admire your charm or stay alert to the influence you have on me...?

Mhmm, then please maintain your charm.

Wait until the day your charm has no effect on me... That may be the day I bring everything to an end...

Are you saying I have the same influence on you?

I didn't expect that, but it's fun.

I really want to know how much I can influence you!

I hope that the next time we meet, you're still alive.

I like this place. It's full of joy, happiness, and love... And fresh life.

Even if it has collapsed in the dream, it doesn't detract from its attractiveness.

Truly blessed... It is the same world, but why are some places full of fake peace and prosperity while others are constantly at war...

You're right. War and peace are just a constant cycle in humanity's world.

It's not that the interests are uneven.

It's that human desire can never be stopped.

When I was a kid, I once saw a family travel to my country. Their daughter was the same age as me and gave me candy and dolls...

I don't understand why other little girls' lives were so happy and peaceful and full of innocent and romantic fairy tales... Whereas I was working hard just to survive...

Later, that family was taken hostage during their travels.

That's when I realized that everyone is equal only in the face of death and war.

Everyone is born a weak baby. The so-called strong also have to pay a price for their strength.

An equal exchange is only fair.

But some lives begin in peace...

While others begin in war...

The priest who raised me once told me that God loves all.

But I discovered that God's love is to kill all.

When death arrives, everything ends.

The end is a kind of blessing.

It doesn't matter. I'm happy that I can experience some of it.

The joy of ending all and controlling all... The joy of war.

Hmmm? Did I persuade you?

If you decide to follow in my footsteps one day, I wouldn't mind making you the most special of my specter legion.

See what I've found. A soul that is lost in the dream.

Even though the place has been destroyed, it's still nostalgic about it, huh...

A young human soul.

Boring young creature.

No one to blame if they're swallowed by Nightmares.

Even if it is destroyed to this extent?

Humans really are destined to be destroyed by stereotypes!

It seems like that is why you have chosen to come here...

I was wondering what led you to a collapsed dream. After all, you are legendary with amazing potential and you might be the Radiant that saves the world.

(Applause) What a great speech.

Go head.

If you've achieved your goal, please don't come back on your own again.

After all, you don't quite fit in here and a certain somebody always gets the urge to destroy you.

Damn it! It's tougher than I thought. It seems like I need to re-plan.

In times like this, a reliable ally is necessary...

Damn it. It really has come to this...

You? Not coincidence, this must be the hand of fate.

It seems like our cooperation will go another step further.

Why can't I be here?

Aren't coffee shops open to all?

Since you showed up, I won't have to find other allies.

Come on, it's time to reveal your true strength...

Download this game.

Of course it's your strength in battle!

Battling in game is a projection of real-world strength.

Really?

It seems like you are really confident in your strength.

I will wait and see then.

This is a game I've been playing recently called "World War".

Humans are really interesting. They are obviously afraid of war, but they invent games of war... Is this what they mean by amusing ourselves to death?

Interesting, so interesting!

Obsession? No, this is just part of my plan.

Before the real war begins, I want to test some of my ideas...

I just never expected that there would be such a powerhouse in the game world.

But if you lose, you lose your dignity.

Losing your dignity is sadder than losing your life.

After you enter the game, first complete the tutorial, and then immediately form an alliance with me.

I will give you resources as you need it. In exchange, you have to set up your country near mine.

Assist me when I'm under attack and deliver war materials to me.

You just established a small country and you want equal treatment with me?

Looks like you know nothing about the cruelty of competition.

... Does it work like that?

Damn, I was wondering why this guy always gets more resources than me.

Alright then, let's go to the new area together!

This way we can have equal treatment. I can't guarantee this relationship will continue later on, though.

Tsk tsk. What could be more important than this?

I will not admit defeat here!

Hmm, it's just an investment.

War has always been this way. I am ready.

Wait and see...

I will definitely start a great war in the game!
