Lucifel's Ideal World v.3

[idolpro]

—The world is ugly, he once declared.

Chaos is inevitable in this world. Pure good can’t be achieved, and pure evil breaks down. And these two extremes are always incompatible with each other. There is still some evil in a good world. That is how the world is, and it is what continues to create ugly things. Evil sneers at good, and good rages over evil. But, in a world where good and evil oppose each other, there is a group that is far more numerous that always appears.

That is ‘grey’. Neither good nor evil. A group that drifts through life haphazardly and merely exists. They don’t believe in goodness and are simply proud that they aren’t evil. Even though they affirm evil acts, they deny evil intentions. They happily say that ‘I am not evil, I am a good person’ and pardon all forms of cruelty.

They kill people while sneering. They kill people out of contempt. They kill people as part of a game. They use the excuse that they can’t restrain their desires—That’s how humans are. That’s how the world is.

Yes—this world is extremely ugly. Neither dyed by good nor fallen into evil. Unable to decide on a color, the wills of people continue to waver. As long as such evil intentions and such foul-smelling corpses aren’t destroyed.



The world will surely continue to rot eternally.

While wrapped within a curse-like fog in darkness frozen to its core.

He thus concluded.

Powers are off.
Corruptions are off.
Carry-on Weapons are not available.
Other carry-on items are available.

Eh? I didn't say that, though?

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[backstory]

Why must you be difficult...!?

[ OF COURSE, HE'S GOTTA BE DIFFICULT. ]

I am not going to release you until you comply...!!!

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[apocryfall]

I spent all this time making a card game, so I want to play before I go!

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[backstory]

Then help me up and I will play the card game with you.

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[apocryfall]

[ picks him up!!! ]

You'll want to get out of the Grail.

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[backstory]

[ Picked up...!? He's stronger than he looks. But now he is... on the chair with him? On his lap? On a platform? ]

T-That is the grail...?

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[apocryfall]

[ his arms glow white-and-blue on one side, black-and-purple on the other side, and levi is slowly floating up to be deposited in the flowers in front of the grail. ]

That's right.

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[backstory]

[ Whoa.....!!! ]

. . . Dream magic.

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[apocryfall]

Naturally~

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[backstory]

You should allow me the use of my claw then, for sure.

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[apocryfall]

No. That would be used to wound a person, wouldn't it?

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[backstory]

I have no intention of wounding you, though.

The dragon's claw is sacred! I would never abuse its power for something other than protection!

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[apocryfall]

Protection against what, then?

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[backstory]

Nothing right now unless someone falls into the grail.

But I miss it.

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[apocryfall]

. . .

Well, please don't hurt anyone with it. Even if you're using it to protect someone, don't hurt someone else with it. Please.

[ gives a flick of his wrist, and his claw is returned ]

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[backstory]

[ HE'S SO HAPPY. LOOK AT HIS CLAW AND LOOK AT HIM MAKE IT BIG AND IT'S AN INCREDIBLE AND MIGHTY DRAGON'S CLAW. ]

My claw....! ♥ ♥ ♥

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[apocryfall]

It's very cool, Aniki. . . . !

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[backstory]

It is a gift from the heavens.

[ . . . ]

Although right now it is only a dream gift from you.

[ . . . Which is nice but a little sad because it means that once they return it will not have the properties and strength it should possess. He allows it to return to 'normal' size again with a slightly nostalgic and melancholic smile. ]

What happens if I lose the card game here with you?

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[apocryfall]

Let's see—you'll stay here with me, and you'll be able to keep that arm of yours.

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[backstory]

[ Even though he needs to return home... ]

Then I cannot afford to lose. But I suppose we should not delay.

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[apocryfall]

Then, I'll start first.

[ flicking his wrist, a card coming out into the air: ]

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[backstory]

Ah...

[ The special cards are the ones he understands least of all. He... immediately has to read the instructions again.

It might not matter what card he plays... if that is the case. ]

I will... play this one, then...

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[apocryfall]

[ The RULER and ARCHER cards break apart into shimmering light: two woman materialize from that golden light, one with a scale and one with a bow. The ARCHER shoots the RULER with the bow, but even after taking the arrow, the RULER clashes with the ARCHER, fatally striking her.

They both dissolve into shimmering light, returning to card form.

Lucifel has lost 1 WILL (?? WILL remaining).
Leviathan has lost 1 WILL (2 WILL remaining). ]

This isn't your first time playing, right?

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[backstory]

[ Another ruler card...!

He shakes his head. ]

No. The false Doodle challenged me when I tried to disrupt the world by destroying his groceries.

It was quite distressing.

[ Wasting food is... one of the worse things you can do. But it's....only a false world. At least. ]

Re: 『Heaven's Grass』

[apocryfall]

[ The RULER and SABER cards break apart into shimmering light: two people materialize from that golden light, one with a scale and one with a sword and full plate of armor. The SABER stabs into the RULER at the same time that the RULER strikes with her scales.

They both dissolve into shimmering light, returning to card form.

Lucifel has lost 1 WILL (?? WILL remaining).
Leviathan has lost 1 WILL (1 WILL remaining). ]

. . . That he battled you, or that you destroyed his groceries?
