Mass release In honour to the support {2/10}
Today is the day.
It's the day we save Seo.
It's the day we put an end to the human worms! To rid ourselves of the mole in our ranks.
Though it's not the end of the war between humans and the alien races that plague the universe, we will cleanse this planet.
And I will be by Axel's side—no, by Nameless' side—until the very end.

Loki adjusted the uncomfortable mask on his face, tugging at the edges with frustration. The intricate, leather-bound design rubbed his skin raw. His fingers twitched nervously as he fumbled with it, feeling every bit of the irritation it caused.
"Why the hell do I have to wear something so uncomfortable, Nameless?" Loki muttered, his voice muffled by the mask. His annoyance was palpable, his tone edging toward genuine frustration as he looked sideways at the masked figure beside him.
Nameless let out a playful laugh, the sound distorted slightly by his own mask, which was a bizarre, twisted visage of an animal that made his voice sound more sinister. "One, this is a way no one will suspect you for following me. Also, I'm a criminal who's wanted. Only a few people know that Nameless is actually Axel," he explained, his voice calm yet sly.
Loki groaned, still fiddling with the mask. "Yeah, I get that, but why the hell am I going by the name 'Nameful'?" His face twisted into a grimace beneath the mask. "It's not even a word! Why couldn't you at least give me something normal?"
Nameless laughed again, louder this time, the sound echoing slightly as they walked through the shadowed halls. "Hahaha! Where's the fun in that? I already told Trisha to sign you in as Nameful, so I don't see you having much of a choice."
Loki—now Nameful—gritted his teeth, suppressing his urge to throw the mask to the ground in defiance. Instead, he growled, "For this once, I'll accept your stupidity with an *embrace*."
They stepped out of the dim corridor and into the vast, open space of the stadium. A towering structure that combined the scale of an arena with the verticality of a skyscraper loomed before them. This was no ordinary execution ground. It was a place reserved for high-ranking criminals, traitorous hunters, and those deemed unworthy of mercy.
The weight of its dark history pressed down on both men as they walked further inside.
Rows of spectators, hunters, and civilians alike filled the seats that wrapped around the circular execution floor. The ceiling above them was reinforced metal, with spotlights casting beams of cold light onto the round stage at the center. In the distance, Nameless could see the board members seated at an elevated platform—their thrones of power.
Between the spectators and the condemned lay a deep chasm in the ground, a dark portal swirling ominously at its depths. Those sentenced to die here would be sent through that portal, stripped of their abilities, and exiled to a deadly planet teeming with monstrous creatures.
The murmurs of the crowd began to rise. Nameless could hear the whispers from the spectators, the disgust and hatred seeping through their voices like venom.
"So that's the betrayer..."
"That old bastard! Knew he was no good."
"Never liked him."
"He's an alien spy! I always suspected it."
The murmurs continued, growing louder with every passing second until it was a deafening cacophony of anger and fear. The crowd's hunger for blood was almost tangible, a palpable energy that rippled through the air like static.
Then, a voice boomed over the chaos.
"Enough!"

Hendricks stood, his voice amplified by a microphone embedded in his collar. His presence commanded the attention of everyone in the room as he spread his arms wide, a smile of false benevolence plastered across his face. "Today, we shall rewrite history!" he proclaimed. "Today, we end the spy of the Fatek.
And with this, we shall gain the upper hand in the war against the aliens that threaten our existence."
His voice echoed through the stadium, and the crowd erupted in cheers, their roars shaking the very walls of the building. Hendricks paused, letting the noise wash over him like a wave, before continuing. "With today's execution, I promise you this—our war will end soon, and we will come out victorious!"
The roar of the crowd reached a fever pitch. Their belief in his words was absolute. But Nameless felt the bitter truth hidden beneath Hendricks' polished speech.
'This isn't an end,' Nameless thought. 'It's the beginning of a full-scale invasion.'
His pulse quickened as he felt the weight of the plan pressing down on him. Time was running out.
Seo's execution was about to begin.
And Nameless had only one chance to stop it.
