Chapter 4: Chaos or Order - The 1st Random World! (2)
Kai was in a conundrum.
For all he knew, killing could restore Order, as much as saving, like a flutter of butterfly wings could cause Chaos.
What to do now? Kai asked himself. Just as he finished reading the notifications, the vanished mission returned by its side.
Both missions flashed, luring his eyes towards them, like the bait of a wild beast, and Kai dared not bet his future on a wild guess.
This choice would dictate his future; his end if he were to be wrong.
Kai closed his eyes.
Scenes after scenes raced by his mind, like a blurry photo reel. Most of it was blood and pain. The rest was claimed by unending screams, and hidden in the gaps were events of Kai trying to deceive others, using them, manipulating them.
I am a loner, yes, but without the people surrounding me, I am not truly alone, Kai realized. Only when there is Order, there can be Chaos.
Kai’s eyes opened, the doubts were gone, hesitations, if any, erased. He knew what his choice was, or he had always known what it would be.
"I choose to assist Thunder Faction in saving the life of Beedle the Bard."
As soon as he spoke, the mission to kill faded, diffusing into the room’s space, leaving behind its counterpart to take the center-stage.
