Saving Him (PJM Ff)
The Beginning
A girl with long ice blonde hair, grey eyes and youthful face stood on top of a tree and was watching a warehouse like a hawk.
She wore dark navy clothes, a purple hoodie cape and had a bow in her hand and arrows in the case fitted near her waist.
System (Little rabbit)
An incoming call from chief Lina...
An incoming call from chief Lina...
The girl lowers her hood and answers the call.
Ray
What brings you to call me at this time, chief?
Ray
Is everything alright?
Chief Lina
Yes..... (drags for a bits)
Ray
Ray. My name is Ray for this mission.
Chief Lina
Yes, Ray. Everything is alright.
Chief Lina
I just called to remind you of one thing.
Chief Lina
Is that you still have one more mission before you retire.
Chief Lina
So don't die in this one. Just one more mission and you can lead the life of a normal human.
Ray
I know. Just one more crime to seize after this one.
Ray
I don't know why we have to retire though. Can't we just stay in the organization and help throughout our lifetime?
Ray
I don't want the life of a normal human. I just want to stop crimes and help more people lead a peaceful life without fear.
Ray
One day we will die in a Battlefield anyway
Ray
Why can't we just go that way, chief?
Chief Lina
You won't understand this.
Chief Lina
Once the system was just as you said. But one day someone found a cheat code to attain eternal youth and stayed in the system forever just to avoid old age.
Chief Lina
So the rule has been changed.
Chief Lina
From the first time you enter the system to carry out missions, your time would pause until you finish 250 years of service in the system.
Chief Lina
Then you get to resume your life in an identity that the system prepared for you to carry out the mission in your own dimension in which you were born.
Chief Lina
This is the rule that no one can change
Ray
So what's my final mission? Is it already decided?
Chief Lina
First finish the one which you are doing and get out of the planet alive.
Ray
Believe me, chief. This one is as good as done. Just one more move and a man to kill.
Ray
Plus I'm curious about my new permanent identity.
Chief Lina
Fine. I'll tell you.
Chief Lina
You're gonna live as the personal assistant/stylist of an idol group named BTS.
Ray
Idols? Not my cup of tea. So what kind of mission could be there surrounding those celebrity kids? Protecting them from paparazzi? (in a mocking tone)
Chief Lina
It more than meets the eye, Ray. There is a serial killer lurking around in the entertainment industry. He is targeting idols from various groups.
Chief Lina
We can't find out his identity. The agents we sent before died too.
Chief Lina
An anonymous source reported that the killer's target was a person from a kpop band named BTS. So we sent some of our agents. All killed one by one.
Ray
Serial Killer, huh? How many agents did you send before?
Chief Lina
4. All down though. One rookie at the beginning who died in a month after reaching there. A half experienced B level agent. She lasted for like...2 months. 2 Veterans. S level agents like you and me. Who lasted for about half a year. All of them were planted as those idols's assistants after finding out that the killer's next target is one of the band members.
Ray
Now that is something we need to work on.
System (Little rabbit)
(interupts Lina)
The target is on the move!!
The target is on the move!!
Ray
I'm gonna hang up. The target is on the move.
Ray
I'll take a look at the other details when I'm carrying out the mission.
Chief Lina
Take care, Ray!
She hung up the call and pulled up her hood and smirked.
Ray
A serial killer huh? Interesting!
Ray
Let's finish this one first.
At the top floor of the HYBE building...
7 ethereal looking boys sat on 3 couches in the middle of a huge room.
It seemed like they were waiting for someone.
Jeon Jungkook (Kookie)
Hyung, do you know why PD-nim called us here today?
The youngest one asked the oldest and their leader.
Kim Seokjin (Jin)
I don't know, jungkookie. Do you know, Namjoon?
The oldest asked their leader
Kim Namjoon (RM)
I too don't know, hyung.
Kim Namjoon (RM)
But judging by his voice it must be very important. He sounded way too tensed.
Park Jimin
I have a guess.
Jeon Jungkook (Kookie)
What is it, hyung?
Park Jimin
But I don't want it to be true.
Park Jimin
You guys are aware that Jay-hyung, our personal stylist hasn't come to work for a couple of days, right?
Jung Hoseok (J-Hope) (Hobi)
It can't be.
Jung Hoseok (J-Hope) (Hobi)
He said that he has something to take care of at his home and asked for leave. His leave doesn't end till tomorrow.
Park Jimin
It would be good if what is said is the fact, hyung.
The thought Jimin shared scared the boys a bit.
They didn't want what he thought to be true.
They didn't want the same to happen again.
They waited till their boss came.
Bang PD entered the room with a grim and solemn face dressed in all black
Seeing his clothes the boys sighed out loud.
Some of them had a 'I'm done with this bullshit' expression while some others face held pity and helplessness.
Seeing all his brothers silent, the pale one decided to ask the question which was running in all of their minds.
Min Yoongi (Suga)
Pd-nim? Jay-hyung.... He passed away, huh? (asked in a hurtful tone)
Bang Pd-nim sighed out and nodded his head with a grim expression.
The boys started to tear up.
The boys started to cry at this.
Kim Taehyung (V) (Tae)
Why? Just why are all our assistants getting killed one by one? Just what the hell is happening?
Bang Pd-nim
The police are still investigating this. Sejin has put up a notice for the interview for your new assistant/personal stylist.
Jung Hoseok (J-Hope) (Hobi)
Again? Pd-nim, 3 times. It's been 3 deaths. We can handle ourselves without an assistant. We have been in the field for a while so we don't need a stylist too. Why do we have to hire a person just to let them get killed?
The outburst from the sunshine left everyone thinking deeply
Bang Pd-nim
(sighs) It's not the fault of the post, Hoseok-ah
Bang Pd-nim
And you guys do need an assistant to take care of you all after your more than 8 hours practice. And a stylist to take care of your image and not let fans or the media get a glimpse of a tired you which could cause a lot of controversy.
Kim Taehyung (V) (Tae)
If it's not the post's fault then whose fault is it?
Bang Pd-nim
The police have found out clues of a serial murder.
Bang Pd-nim
It's a coincidence that all of his targets included your assistants.
Bang Pd-nim
It's not only them that passed away but many other people who are not related to you guys too.
Kim Namjoon (RM)
Is it true, hyung?
Bang Pd-nim
Yes. The police are guessing it could be a psycho killer.
Bang Pd-nim
Anyway. As a whole, I called you all, as your boss to inform you that you will be getting a new assistant and few more bodyguards for your safety as we don't know if the killer's target is you too.
Bang Pd-nim
And as your friend and brother to ask you if you want to attend Jay's funeral?
Kim Seokjin (Jin)
Ye... Yes. (said with a broken voice)
Bang Pd-nim
I'll make arrangements for it.
Bang Pd-nim
You guys can change your clothes in the styling room.
Saying this their boss exited the room. The boys all burst out crying still blaming the job for their past few assistants 's death.
Selena Iris Diane
A girl with long ice blonde hair, gray eyes and youthful face stood on top of a tree and was watching a warehouse like a hawk.
She wore dark navy clothes, a purple hoodie cape and had a bow in her hand and arrows in the case fitted near her waist.
System (Little rabbit)
The target is on the move!!
The target is on the move!!
Ray
I'm gonna hang up. The target is on the move.
Ray
I'll take a look at the other details when I'm carrying out the mission.
She hung up the call and pulled up her hood and smirked.
Ray
A serial killer huh? Interesting!
Ray
Let's finish this one first.
True name....
Selena Iris Diane.
Born in the late medieval era.
Daughter of a Royal family.
The only Princess in the Kingdom which had 10 Princes.
I had the face of an angel, grace of a fairy and poise and skill of a goddess said my and my father's subjects.
Married to the Southern Duke at the age of 15.
The Duchess who ran away from the Dukedom mysteriously. Presumed to be eloped with her lover.
The disgraceful princess who made a disgraceful decision.
I ran away from the Dukedom at the age of 25 not because of my lover.
But because I was sick of all those political wars which killed thousands and thousands of people.
The wars between the royalty and the dukedom were unstoppable and was getting more and more ruthless day by day.
I was always trying to stop them.
After every war, there started a plague. A plague for which the antidote medicinal herbs were getting rarer due to the destruction by the battlefield.
That was when my good old friend, the head of the magical tower came to me.
THE LATE MEDIEVAL PERIOD...
SOUTHERN DUKEDOM...
AT THE DUKE'S PALACE...
The maid
Your Highness, the Head of the Magical Tower, Master Alexander and the Royal Alchemist, Mistress Bethany are here.
Selena
Bring them here. And vacate the place.
The maid
Yes, your Highness
The maid evacuated the area and my two good friends came in to the garden.
As soon as I saw them trying to bow to me, I stopped them immediately.
Selena
I'm not in the mood for these etiquette right now.
Bethany
(laughs) The lady with the elegance and poise of a goddess. What happened to her?
Selena
Please tell me you guys have good news.
Alexander
It's sort of an information.
Alexander
Good news or not, it's up for you to decide.
Bethany looked around to confirm if someone was eavesdropping.
Alexander noticed her motive and snapped his fingers.
Alexander
I enclosed us three with a barrier.
Alexander
It only allows us three to hear what we three discuss.
Alexander
No fourth person would be able to hear our discussion.
Bethany
Good job, nut case
Alexander
I am the Head of the Magical Bureau, Bethany so I would very much appreciate it if you could control your antiques.
Bethany
Not like I care about your little tricks and magics, Master Alex.
Selena
We are not some kids studying in the Royal Academy anymore. Let's get to the point.
The Royal Academy. I almost forgot that one.
The Royal Academy. One of the greatest places to study.
The specialty and the uniqueness of the Royal Academy is that, no noble or commoner should disclose their true identity to other students until graduation.
It is a method created by my great-grandmother who thought that friendship and education must not be subjected to ones social status.
We three met each other in the Royal Academy.
Speaking to each other informally became our habit after spending 10 years there.
Bethany became all too serious all of a sudden.
Bethany
We found out from the archaic records that there is this organization.
Selena
Which organization?
Bethany seemed a bit hesitant to speak further.
So Alexander took the lead.
Alexander
The organization's main focus is to stop grave crimes and let people live in peace.
Alexander
As far as I investigated, they don't take part in wars to avoid people getting to know their identity.
Alexander
They just protect people from grave murders, serial loots and stuff related.
Selena
Where can I meet it's head?
Bethany
You are going to ask for help, right?
Selena
And I am willing to provide all my wealth if they ask for pay.
Alexander
But as I said, they don't take part in wars.
Selena
I will try to persuade them. If they still don't, then the least they could do is help people with the antidotes.
Selena
It is more important now.
Selena
The war waits for a while. Considering both my father and my husband. They both are observing each other.
Selena
We can afford to move our vision from war to other problems.
Selena
So where is their secret post?
Bethany
I'll take you there.
Alexander
Our meeting must stay a secret. Nobody must come to that know we met today.
Bethany
That's almost impossible.
Bethany
Most of your fangirls in the society knew you were coming here.
Bethany
And so do my followers
Selena
That wouldn't be a problem.
Selena
They don't find out what we talked about is what matters. And not the fact that we met today.
Bethany
Let's go to the post today or later?
And that was how I came to know about the system
The system indeed didn't participate in the war, but it helped in a lot of other ways.
There are 3 options for the people who know about the system
And I chose the third while the other two chose to forget.
After all they had 2 great towers of the Kingdom and Dukedom to rule.
If they were to leave that and join the system, then all the other magicians and the alchemist would go mad.
What I didn't expect was that when I first entered the system. The agents were amidst an internal war.
The System.
The System's main base was dwarf planet itself. It had people and aliens living in it. It had schools, it had hospitals, restaurants and resorts and what not...
What I didn't expect was that when I entered the system, they were amidst an internal war.
I still don't know what exactly happened that time.
All I knew was that an agent who wanted eternal youth used the system's feature to carry out missions.
And thus a rule was made.
All members who join the system must be sent back after 250 years of service.
After the internal war got over, I was placed under Chief Lina's cadet.
All the Chiefs were the founders of the system.
Thus they don't have a retirement period.
Chief Lina
My name is Lina. I don't care about what your previous identity was. Right now, you are under my command.
Chief Lina
Judging by your skill, I will place you in the post which is suitable for you.
Chief Lina
Am I understood?
Chief Lina
Call me Chief during training. You can also call me Sister Lina in private.
Chief Lina
I'll explain about the system first.
Chief Lina
After that we can take a look at what you have got.
Chief Lina
The System is a confidential organization.
Chief Lina
It is also called as DP
Chief Lina
Don't ask me why, I forgot the reason why we named that.
Chief Lina
There are 3 units in total.
Chief Lina
Med block, WM block and SA block
Chief Lina
Med block belongs to the Medical Part of the organization.
Chief Lina
WM block belongs to weaponry and machinery.
Chief Lina
SA block belongs to spies and assassins.
Chief Lina
All three blocks have 5 levels. A, B, C, D and S.
Chief Lina
Basic level is D which rises up to S
Chief Lina
D means rookie.
Chief Lina
Every agent starts from there.
Chief Lina
Based on your inherent skill which you practiced before you came to the system, you will be placed under the trainee part of each blocks.
Chief Lina
Are you aware of the recent civil battle?
Selena
Yes ma.. I mean... Yes, Chief.
Chief Lina
After your training period, you can perform the given tasks for 250 years.
Chief Lina
This is the time line for the agents who stay in D level.
Chief Lina
For C level, 300 years service period.
Chief Lina
For B, it is 350 and for A it is 400
Chief Lina
For an S level agent, it extends till 500 years of service.
Selena
What happens after that?
Chief Lina
After that you would be sent back to your own dimension from which you came from and continue your life from the year in which you joined as a trainee.
Selena fell into deep thoughts.
Chief Lina
Do you have any questions?
Selena
What are these missions you are talking about?
Selena
And what is this dimension you are talking about?
This question left Lina wordless.
Chief Lina
We have a lot to work on it seems.
Chief Lina
Dimensions are parallel universes.
Chief Lina
It is said that there are 1000 dimensions in the universe.
Chief Lina
In which other planets exist. Other people and many other creatures exist.
*AUTHOR NOTE*
THESE DIMENSIONS TOPIC IS FULLY FICTIONAL AND NOT TRUE.
THEY WERE JUST MADE UP FOR FUN.
Chief Lina
Our organization sends our agents out to those dimensions and helps the people there to live in peace.
Chief Lina
We provide you with a fake identity, fake face and body structure, a fake background and life history so that you can complete your task and get back to the system.
Chief Lina
Then you would be provided with other tasks in the same or other dimensions.
Chief Lina
Other details you can learn and grasp as you train.
Selena
Just one more question. How do we get to change our appearance and all which is suitable for the mission. And our ages too. How do they change?
Chief Lina
I'm afraid that is a question which I can't answer. Only the creators get the key to those questions.
Selena
No. Nothing else. I'm good.
After thinking and assimilating all the information, Selena nodded.
She started her first training session at the SA block.
After training and learning for about 5 years, she undertook her first case as a D level rookie agent.
Her first task was relatively simple.
She needed to prove the innocence of an individual.
That individual ended up saving millions of lives. That individual was one of the doctors who found the antidote for a disease.
And that's how the system sometimes works.
You save one, who ends up saving many.
And some other times, it commissions its agents to investigate a case Or catch a criminal etc...
As the system started to grow, it also got the ability to stop wars by talking out it and stuff.
Selena started off as a D level agent and ended up as an S level agent.
Many other agents who started after and with her couldn't get past B level and A at max.
Chief Lina
You have another mission, Sel!
Selena
How long do I have time for this?
Chief Lina
You have to complete it in 6 months.
Chief Lina
If not then you will be called back by force.
Selena
4 months. Ok. What's the job?
Chief Lina
Dimension 56... In Sombrero Galaxy.
Chief Lina
A person wants to stimulate a war between two countries.
Selena
So he wants to destroy two countries to fulfill his disgusting fetish, huh?
Chief Lina
Your job is to take his little gang down.
Selena
Am I allowed to kill? Or does he have to be arrested?
Chief Lina
The system doesn't have cells for that much psychos, so just close them off.
Chief Lina
After this one, your last mission will be in dimension 973. Milky Way Galaxy. Planet Earth.
Selena held an unrecognizable face. She looked grim and down.
Chief Lina
The background information has been sent to your mini system.
Selena
I'll look at it from the Little Rabbit
Selena
I'll take my leave, chief.
Chief Lina
Good work and good contribution, Selena.
Chief Lina
You are an asset that the system will miss.
Chief Lina
You live up to your name as the Great Selena Iris Diane, Princess of the Livit Kingdom and Duchess of the Southern Dukedom.
Selena
Yeah! I definitely live up to the name as the runaway Royal.
Chief Lina
Don't make fun of it. I mean it.
Chief Lina
You think and act like a Royal must do.
Selena smiled genuinely and left the room.
Selena
Let's get the Sombrero Galaxy, shall we?
