All around the planet of Val
Over the course of the first five days of the week before the Council Meeting, society regains its structure. Enforcers all across the planet deal with the monster threats, wiping them out and saving the civilians who were too weak to protect themselves even after the tutorial. The majority of the Gates within the cities are taken under control by the various Spire Lords and Ladies, the majority of whom were previously higher ranking enforcers within the League of Enforcer. But many of the Spire Lords and Ladies are unknowns within society.
Some of them are found by the other enforcers to be rogues. Criminals with 'abilities' known before the System's arrival.
Others are completely unknown to anyone, many with skills they found to be far stronger than everyone originally thought when they were just 'abilities'.
And throughout the first five days of the post-tutorial world, one Spire Lord or Lady after another makes contact with and invites outsiders from other worlds. From other organizations.
Both powerful organizations and weaker ones.
The Order, followers of Order, the Primordial of Order. Invited by the Successor to Order on Val.
The Tower of Chaos, followers of Chaos, the Primordial of Chaos. Invited by a chaos mage amongst the top enforcers.
The Adventurer's Guild, invited by the Black Enforcer.
The Hunter's Guild, invited by the White Enforcer.
One after another, the outside powers slowly find places on the new planet. Meanwhile natives of Val slowly begin to learn about and compete in System Events.
But throughout all of this, one important individual on the planet remains disengaged from everything else.
Leaving all of the powers on the planet feeling uncomfortable and uncertain as they look at the massive park she now calls home.
Spire #1
The Black Enforcer looks out from the top of his Spire down at the skyscrapers around him. At the city streets on the ground, and at the people quickly going about from one place to another. All in a hurry.
Likely trying to get to wherever they're going without running into a monster or having a Gate appear near them.
The man has short black hair, with pitch black irises and a tall yet fit build. He's wearing a long, black coat over an equally black albeit slightly formal shirt and pants, and no matter how long he stares out at the city, his gaze doesn't change.
Except when he looks in the direction of the largest park located in the capital.
Where his daughter is residing.
"An' we feel the same ere'," the hunter says with a grin on his face as he leans over the table, his long crimson hair falling over his shoulder and his glowing crimson eyes burning with flames in the process, "thanks for the invite! The name's Roth Kalvar."
"It's a pleasure to work with the both of you," Sebastian states, his voice devoid of any of the warmth he shows only rarely to his own children, albeit only after the accident snapped him out of his fog.
Meanwhile his wife nods her head with a polite smile and says, "A pleasure indeed."
A brief moment of silence fills the room. One with a slightly tense air.
The Black Enforcer narrows his eyes slightly at the tense atmosphere.
Then the Guildmaster of the Adventurer's Guild reaches for her coffee again while saying, "There's one thing I wanted to clear up before we get started." And immediately after she says that, the Guildmaster of the Hunter's Guild nods his head in agreement.
"Ask," the Black Enforcer states without moving an inch.
Instead of Sariel asking, Roth speaks up, his gruff voice echoing in the room, "Are you two truly the parents of the Successor of Chaos?"
Both the Black and White Enforcers stiffen up ever so slightly. Despite having expected the question.
These two aren't the only ones who have asked after all.
They've gotten many questions from enforcers all around the world, along with many different outsider organizations. All asking this one question.
But these two aren't people they can simply ignore.
So the White Enforcer takes a deep breath and answers, "Yes, we are."
Meanwhile the Black Enforcer just nods his head in agreement. Not saying a word as he grits his teeth ever so slightly.
Guilt gnawing at him more and more with every single time he's asked this question.
Especially when his promise to Blake and Elizabeth makes it impossible to go see Ashley any time soon.
Not until the Council Meeting.
The two Guildmasters look at the two enforcers for several seconds before eventually they both move on from the subject. With the Black Enforcers assuming they noticed the atmosphere when their daughter is brought up.
"Then let's begin," Sariel states while placing her cup of coffee back on the table again. "With the plans to set up our guilds in the capital of the world known as Val."
