"Ugh, so bright. Where am I?"

As I woke up from what seems to be a comfortable bed, "Walter! Thank goodness you're awake! You're in the infirmary room for guards"

"Ugh, Sara? Don't shout, my head'll hurt even more."

"Oh, I'm sorry, but do you remember anything? Like, how did you end up here?"

"Yeah, for the most part. I was fighting the 'Elite General' and I fell down and...Ugh, it's so faint. Did I lose?"

"You won, Walter, astoundingly."

"What? Although I am sorta ecstatic and glad, but how?"

"After you fell down, the 'Elite General' said that he's THE Benjamin Krek. After that, you suddenly became super powerful and defeated the 'Elite General' dominantly, the audience was astounded by you, while I was in awe. Moreover...N-Never mind, it's nothing." Sara shrugged off not telling me my 'Fragments of Immortality' case.

"Ah, pri-I mean Freg Walter! It seems that you like woken up from your recovery slumber, I'll give you a few minutes to prepare, so get ready." A guard walked into the infirmary room to inform us.

"Get ready? For?" I asked.

"Your freedom, of course. Isn't that what you requested?"

"Oh, yeah. I'm finally free from the junk food you guys make."

"Don't do anything bad to end up here again. We won't show any mercy to returning prisoners."

"Yeah, yeah. Lead me to the exit now. I feel like puking the longer I stay here knowing that I'm free. Let's go, Sara."

"Y-Yes, Walter!"

"Finally, my revenge is near. Get ready for the climax and ending of your life, Jeffrey..!"

'Fantasy' Jeffrey's POV

I heard a knocking noise at my door, "Come in."

"Greetings, Detective um, 'Fantasy' Jeffrey. I'm here to report some fresh news to you because I think you might need to know."

"Oh yeah? What's the news?"

"We have received a report from the Arena Entertainment Prison that two inmates won the 'Freedom' reward and is being released today."

"What about-"

"Ahem! Let me finish talking. One of which is Freg Walter who was just recently sentenced there while the other is Sara Smith who was in the Anti 'Neo-Humans' protest. Furthermore, reports has shown that Freg Walter is a 'Neo-Human' and is one of the 'Fragments of Immortality'. That's the end of my report. Now will you excuse me. *Bows and leaves his office*"

As I sat at my office chair in shock, I thought to myself, "H-He defeated Alto (Elite General)? H-How? Alto's strength is on par with a 'Fragment of Immortality'. I was sure Freg's death will be certain if he were to fight him. Did I miscalculate? And who's this Sara Smith? Did Freg also get himself a new puppet while in there? This is bad, I need to inform young Liam! I guess I'll have to get rid of Freg quickly before he worsens the situation."

I went to my hand-phone to call young Liam, "Hello?"

"Young Liam, the murderer of your father has escaped from prison. He might come and get you so please inform your mother about the situation so she'll protect you."

"Y-You mean the boss?"

"Yes, I'll go find him to put him back to his place so don't worry and don't come with me, you'll be in a lot of danger if you do."

"But-"

"Ah ah, no 'buts'. Just stay at your home, don't come out unless needed and inform your school as well, explain them your whole story led up to this moment."

A month later...

"Shit! How long has it been since his release? Why is he suddenly this quiet? There's no trace of him anywhere! Just what are you planning, Freg! Argh, I'm getting impatient!"

Then, my office phone rings, "Detective Fantasy Jeffrey speaking."

"Hey Jeffrey! I bet you're hangry for Freg right now. Guess what? He finally made a move and he...revealed his location? Looks like he's taunting you, Jeff!"

"Come again, Chief? That bastard has the nerve to taunt me? Where the hell is he?"

"Haha! I'll do that right away! Go get him, but don't kill him though, we need him alive."

"Don't worry, I'll just question him some things."

I hurriedly drove to the location Chief sent me and what looks to be an abandoned laboratory in the middle of nowhere. I grabbed my gun and walked inside, "Show yourself, Freg."

"Oh? You got here faster than I expected. To think that you really want to get rid of me as soon as possible. You're too predictable, old friend."

"I'm not your friend, Freg. I was never your friend. Why are you doing this? None of this would've happened if you didn't murder Benjamin."

"You know what's funnier? None of this would've happened if you three trash didn't betrayed me from the beginning and left me to die alongside with the burning laboratory!"

"Come to think of it, how'd you survive the fire?"

"Don't play dumb. You already know I'm a 'Fragment of Immortality'."

"That's what I asked, how'd you get obtained your 'Fragment of Immortality' while all of us were still incomplete with our abilities?"

"I don't even know myself. But let's not talk about that and talk about how pathetic you are trying to imitate Benjamin after I killed him. You inherited his nickname? Don't play with me. Your powers are nothing but just a downgrade to his powers."

"What did you just say?"

"Am I wrong? Your 'Spatial Awareness' is just inferior to his' in every way! You'll never defeat me in a death match with your capabilities now."

"Shut up! Is your reason for calling me here is just to taunt me with your trash talk! I'll show you my full capacity of my powers! Your current power level would even have a hard time dealing damage to me!"

"Oho? I would like to see you try. This'll be our final and deciding battle, Jeffrey 'Fantasy' Lancelot. You're really not smart when it comes to names, aye? Like why 'Fantasy' Jeffrey when it should've been Jeffrey 'Fantasy'?"

"Shut up and let's get on to our fight."

"Don't think you can piss me off easily, I have a trump card if things go sour."

"You think you're the one who only has a trump card?"

The surroundings suddenly turned red and blue, "Jeffrey, you in there? Is Freg in there too? We've already surrounded the place! Finish it quickly! I have more important things to do than this!"

"No you didn't," Freg laughed.

"Let's see who fell into who's trap."
