Lucas Lauwers, an ordinary college student submits an entry for the lottery to win the very first virtual gaming device and game on a whim and wins! He played the game for the first time without any information beforehand and joins a party. The part...
Everything has been weird since the day the Queen died.
The King started to become more unreasonable. More haughty. More selfish.
Tax increased by a margin.
New laws.
New curfew.
Then the Prince died.
And the King grew more powerful.
"But even so, he is our King. I must believe in him till the very end as his loyal subject."
Fawkes thought as he walked inside the castle.
He is the Knight Commander of [Drachedge].
He was called Fawkes of the Phoenix from his fiery red hair, armor and also from his sword.
Right now, a criminal is on the loose that is targeting the King.
"His majesty is currently asleep in the royal bedroom. I must guard him at all costs!"
Resolving himself, Fawkes stood in front of the door and did not lose focus.

After a while, he detected presence at the end of the wall seeming to have tried to erase their presence. But to Fawkes who has been in many battles so far, such elementary hiding of presence isn't enough to fool him.
"Show yourself. I know you are in here."
"Tch, busted huh?"
There, a white haired red eyed person revealed himself along with a silver haired girl wearing a tattered robe.
They match the descriptions of the criminals that were described to them by witnesses.
"I am the Knight Commander, Fawkes of the Phoenix. Name yourself, criminal, before I kill you."
"My name is Lucas, for now, people call me the White Haired Adventurer. Let's see if you can kill me."
Introducing oneself is a customary for duels such as this, even if the other side is a criminal, one must still name himself in honor of the battle.
Fawkes was irritated that the other side introduced himself jokingly at first, but felt his seriousness at the end so he swallowed his irritation.
"I can still spare you if you hand over the slave."
At his words, the silver haired girl shrank to the boy's back trying to hide herself.
On Fawkes' mind, the slave is the primary criminal here and may have done something to the boy in order to let him cooperate so he offered a chance for the boy.
Well, he may be brainwashed somehow but it would seem that it won't matter anymore.
