Solo Player Arvin

Arvin woke in what looked like a jail cell. He was surrounded by the walls on all sides. On the wall that was in front of him, there was a door with a small peaking window at the top. This place reeked to piss and excretion. While there was a small iron bucket by the door filled with water.

Arvin remembered what happened the other night. He was pretending to fight the black-cloaked man when he was attacked by a water ball which made him lose consciousness. That was a very dangerous thing…

Arvin realized it too late that someone was casting a spell at him. Usually, Loki used to help him in these kinds of situations. But as he was not here he was stuck in a smelly cell. As he was sitting in the small cell, he started to think about what should he do next?

He had his gear and everything that he would need to get out of here. And he also had a poisonous mana bomb in his inventory. That could always help him. So he had to decide how should he play this out?

If he runs away from here then he would have to show many of his trump cards. And if the word about his powers went out then it wouldn't take these guys much long to know that he is Bakemono. He is the one that is responsible for Alman's death and he is the one that has two pieces of the key of the sacred temple. And that was the situation that he didn't like. Now as he had lost his ability to shape-shift, everyone on the whole floor would start coming after him. And he won't be able to survive that.

Arvin then decided that it was better to act a little bit longer. There was a high chance that his act would not work. But it was a far better option than revealing his other identity. So Arvin got up on his feet and started banging on the door…

"OYE! Open up! Is someone out there? Open up! I swear to god if something happens to those girls that were with me, I will burn you all alive! You hear me! Open up mother fuckers…" Arvin started screaming while banging the door.

He started pretending that he deeply cared about those girls. He knew that as he the people outside would hear his screaming they would tell their leaders about this. Maybe this caring nature would be able to turn some cards for him. So he continued banging on the door.

It was about 10 mins later of continuous banging, the small window on the door opened. From the small window, a female fennec fox looked inside and shouted…

"PRISONER! Put your hand on your head and face the wall. It is time for your trial. And beware, you don't comply with our commands there will be repercussions." The female guard shouted.

"You first tell me about the girls that came here with me. Are they ok? You didn't do anything to them do you?" Arvin asked back.

"LAST WARNING PRISONER! DO AS YOU ARE COMMANDED." The female guard barked and ignored Arvin's comment.

"You know what… FUCK YOU! Why don't you come inside and tell me the repercussions that you have been talking about." Arvin barked back.

"That is it. Taze him." the female guard and closed the window.

Arvin didn't understand what she meant by tasing him. And he realized it soon enough what she meant. The walls of his started to light with runes. And before Arvin could react, those runes shot a voltage bolt straight towards Arvin. That voltage was strong enough to make Arvin's whole body numb. He lost control of his body and fell down.

As he fell down the guard from earlier opened the gate. She was accommodated by two more guards. She saw Arvin wriggling on the floor from the tase of earlier. Then with a smug on her face, she said…

"I am here. Now what will you do now?" she said. Then she came inside and kicked Arvin in his stomach. Then she turned around and left the scene. The two guards which were following her, came inside and then lifted Arvin and started dragging him out of the cell.

Although Arvin was not able to control his body he still could see and feel everything that was happening around him. the guards went on ahead and dragged his paralyzed ass for 15 min. And then after 15 mins, they brought him to a room that was similar to his cell.

But in this room, there was a table and two chairs in the middle. The guards made Arvin sit on a chair. And then after that, they left the room. As they left Arvin was still not able to control his body. With his head on the table, he was waiting for his paralysis to wear off. But before that could happen, an old woman entered the room.

That woman had wrinkles all over her face. She was wearing the same attire as the people from Nekota city. Her saggy and wrinkly bosom was covered with a metallic bra while she was wearing what looked like silky hot pants.

Arvin was still lying on the table. But he heard that someone had entered the room. He then felt that person in question took a seat just in front of him. then that person weaved a magic circle. It was after the magic circle was cast, Arvin regained control of his body one more time. As he did he stood up straight and then looked at the person that was sitting in front of him…

"Mr. Lopt, it is a pleasure to meet you." The old woman said.

"FUCK THE PLEASURE! LISTEN YOU OLD HAG TELL ME ABOUT THE GIRLS THAT YOU GUYS KIDNAPPED WITH ME? WHERE ARE THEY? IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THEM THEN…" Arvin was screaming but before he could complete his sentence the old woman asked…

"Then what?" the old woman said. And she said that she snapped her fingers and the same runes that Arvin earlier started shining on the walls of this room…

"I WOULD KILL ALL OF YOU," Arvin said while glaring at the old woman.

"They are alive. Those girls are also captives of this place like you. So keep quiet and sit down. We have a lot to talk about." The old woman said.

"How do I believe that you are not lying to me?" Arvin asked suspiciously.

"It is your choice whether you want to believe in me or not. But you have been warned, try to do anything funny and you will be killed. And the girls will also follow the same faith." The old woman said. Still glaring, Arvin took a seat.

"What the hell do you want from me?" Arvin asked.

"I want you to answer some of my questions." The old woman said. As she said that she brought a transparent crystal out of her storage ring. And then she kept that crystal ball on the table.

"What is that?" Arvin asked.

"That is an artifact that could tell me whether you are telling the truth or a lie. So would you mind putting your hand on the crystal ball?" The old woman said. Arvin put his hand on the crystal ball as he was instructed.

Arvin was frightened by the ball. He had a lot of secrets. And if this old hag started asking him relevant questions then he would be screwed. Now if he thinks breaking out of here didn't seem like a bad idea at all.

"How would you know whether I am lying or telling the truth?" Arvin asked.

"If you tell a lie the crystal would change into red color. While if tell the truth the crystal will change its color into green." The old woman said.

"Sounds fair…" Arvin said. While inwardly he was still nervous.

"Now for my first question let's start with something simple. Is Lopt your real name?" the old woman asked.

'FUCK ME.' Arvin said inwardly.

…

While the interrogation of the Arvin was happening in a room, in the room which is just adjacent to his, Velma was sitting with a few officers of the Stone City. In front of them was a small box that was transmitting sounds from Arvin's interrogation.

Velma knew that something was very fishy about the guy. But she can't put her finger on it. That is why she was curious about what was so fishy about this guy. So she was listening with great concentration about what this man is going to say.

Before the interrogation could commence she had told all the officers about what Arvin had told her. And among those officers was the woman that kicked Arvin in the stomach…

That woman acted that she was not interested in the interrogation and walked out of the room. And after walking for some time, she came to a secluded place and took a communication jade….

"Lord Viserys…. I have some incredible news." She said.
