280 Getting Near the Island (1/2)

(Azzie's POV)

”So, what's the news about Aries' condition?” One of the doctors entered my office and it's their daily report of Aries' status.

”We've been getting some random spikes from his consciousness monitor and we're not sure if it's related to his condition. We've been trying to give him the dosage you told us but eventually, the effectiveness will slowly get deteriorated.” He answered. Mr. Kim was right. He already anticipated that this will occur and I can say that he won't be wrong.

”Thank you. I have a plan. You can go now.” I replied.

Who is Mr. Kim really? Everything he told us already happened, is happening and probably will happen soon. He has a list that only the president and Aurora have and he said that everyone on the list will die in order which I think the first one is the president. I know that this operation is risky but they said that it's for the good of the future. I really want to look at that list but... it's like trying to look at something I can never stop because it's what Mr. Kim told. I don't know if he can see the future but I'm sure he's not like us.

*Scy's POV*

Hmmm? It's already night time. I probably slept all day and my head hurts and hungry as hell. That fight made me mentally stressed that it forced me out, I guess.

”Bro, you're finally awake!” 'Mari's always here to welcome me back.

”So, is Glace back? What happened when I was gone?” I asked.

”Don't worry about it. She already reported what happened and everything is fine. She logged off earlier and got back to the game to discuss things with the King. Good job, Bro!” She replied. I guess I'll just need to prepare and go back to the game as well.

Now, time to get back to the game.

”Wait, can I talk to you for a sec?” It's Akko.

”Yeah, sure. What's up?” I replied while trying to sit down.

”We recently found out that there's something wrong with your brain and...” She said... uhmmm...

”Am I going to be ok?” I asked as she looks like it's serious.

”Yes, you are. It's just that before you woke up from the coma, we thought that you might not wake up forever so when you did wake up there are some few issues with your mental state. You might get some kind of memories of some sort but it's just really made by your unconscious mind. It triggers when you are emotionally imbalanced and it might resort to severe headaches and nightmares.” She explained.

”Yeah, I've been having those a lot. It felt so real but I guess you're right. There's no way it could be real because of what I saw. Anyway, do you have any kind of plans to help me? It kinda sucks.” I replied.

”Yes, here. Take only once a day and don't try to take two, it might kill you.” I got it.

”Thanks. I hope you are joking.” I replied.

”Seriously though, don't take two. Anyway, I'll leave you with your business. Be careful and I hope it works out well.” Then she left the room.

We got the approval of the Lizard King and decided to help us and help them take their island back. It took us the whole day to prepare everything and also the better improvements for our ship. They guided us to the best routes where we won't get any troubles and it worked out so well. We're supposed to reach the island in two weeks but with their help, it only took us one and a half week and according to the Lizard King, we're getting near the island. We met some monsters along the way but they are not strong enough to stop the Lizard King's power and somehow I managed to recover my full strength.

”Human Leader, we're getting near the Island, I'm surprised.” Lizard King informed me.

”Why are you surprised? You're the one who led us here. Thanks a lot by the way.” I replied. I can see that the way is not as annoying as the biomes we've passed to go here. It's too quiet though.

”Scy, there's a thick fog ahead. If we enter now. It might be a trap.” Elou showed up and telling me what he saw.

”What do you think of it? Could it be a trap?” I asked.

”There's no doubt about it. It's a trap. The fog doesn't look normal. It moves like waves and if I remember it correctly, it's because of ice and hot water. We did that experiment when I was young and...”
