Pov Hades:
I was awake when I felt the connection with the master being interrupted, it wasn’t cut, but it was completely blocked, I couldn’t even confirm if he was alive.
“What is it?” (Davoth)
“The master, he’s gone.” (me)
“Rules Meeting… he’s going to be eaten alive.” (Davoth)
“You don’t understand, I’m not worried about the master himself.” (me)
“What do you mean?” (Davoth)
“Samara, tell him, even if you’ve only been with him for a short time, you should already understand.” (me)
I look at Samara who arrives almost immediately after the master disappears, I felt her running towards us, when she entered through the door she was visibly tired.
“I… I can’t feel him…” (Samara)
“You heard about the Rules Meeting like all of us, tell him what our biggest concern is.” (me)
“Chaos, what else could it be?” (Samara)
“The master is a Bringer of Chaos, a very troublesome one, wherever he is there will be chaos.” (Samara)
“Exactly, in a place like that with so many Entities, what else could happen to Master Zenos there?” (me)
“It seems that you are the ones who do not understand, the Bringer of Chaos does not have the same influence on Concepts, only Chaos cannot influence him, Luck and Bad Luck cannot either, Concepts are not subject to the rules of causality because they are part of Casualty.” (Davoth)
“Any confusion that happens there or later will be the result of someone’s plans and not something that happened because Zenos was there.” (Davoth)
“You may be right and I really hope you are, I do not like to worry so much about the master.” (me)

Pov Zenos:
“It seems that we should go.” (me)
Everyone nods in agreement, we all walk to the door, I walk in front with the Twins side by side right behind and Freya last, they take these positions on their own before going through the door.
As soon as I walked through the door, I came across a large round table with an open space in the middle, where a holographic sphere showed images of a peaceful galaxy.
This table was in the middle of a large open-air hall surrounded by beautiful flowers that I had never seen before, just looking around I saw the creature that works as a representative of the system standing next to the large table, I could also see that one of the chairs was glowing in my vision and I knew that it must be the mask telling me where I should sit.
Apart from us and the System Vessel, there was no one else here and he motions for us to sit down, no one says anything as I walk to my chair and sit down, on my left side sits Lena and next to her sits Cortana, on my right sits Freya and there are 2 chairs before reaching where the System Vessel sits next, then there are 5 more chairs after him until reaching Cortana again, there are 12 chairs in total and this realization makes me anxious.
1. System Vessel
2. Me
3. Freya
4. Lena
5. Cortana
6. War
7. Pride
8. Greed
9. Curse
10. ???
11. ???
12. ???
If I take the number of chairs present here into consideration, there are 11 participants plus the Host, but of these participants I am unable to imagine who the last three are, this means that there were still 3 more Entities making their moves under the tables without being seen or else they would not have been called to this Rules Meeting from what I was informed.
Another door then opens, the one who comes out is clearly a woman by the way she walks even though I can’t see her body she looks tall, she also has her mask that looks like a work of art carved in the shape of Ohara’s face, which made me realize that this must be Pride using Ohara’s body and was basically announcing this during this meeting, he sits next to Cortana and at that moment another door opens.
It was clear that the next door only opens after the previous participant sits down, then from this door appears someone with a bulkier body and carrying a sword, the mask had the appearance of a knight’s helmet covered in battle marks, it was clear that it was War who sits between Pride and the System’s receptacle before another door opens.
From that door, someone emerged whose mask was bright gold, his eyes were made of precious stones and he had a smiling mouth revealing teeth also made of precious stones with a large crown on top also full of precious stones. It was more than obvious that it was Greed arriving and sitting on the other side of the System Receptacle before another door opened.
Greed stared at Pride and even without needing to look at his Aura, the anger in him was more than evident. He was the only one who was focusing on something else while everyone else was just staring into space waiting for everyone to arrive in silence.
That’s when another door opened with someone walking, different from everyone else, this person’s clothes writhed as if there was something moving inside, his mask looked like the head of a Serpent made of insect parts, the mask was a Reunion of carapace, legs and exoskeleton of insects assembled in that way, the eyes of the seed were eyes of green multifaceted crystal like insects with the addition of a vertical purple pupil cutting the entire eye from top to bottom.
As soon as he arrived I could feel his eyes on me and that was it, but I have the impression that he was trying to do more and couldn’t, maybe he tried to scare me with the mere attempt or was it something else that the System blocked?
“[ … ]”
The System’s Receptacle doesn’t say anything, but turns to Curse, showing the first reaction since I left the door, Curse didn’t even look at him, just as Greed was focused on Pride, Curse was also focused on me, something I didn’t expect from him, I expected something like that from War due to the confrontations I had with Ayden and yet War hadn’t done anything so far at least.
“(Does Curse know about the eye that Samara recovered or about the captured shadow creature?)” (me)
“(Maybe it’s something else?)” (me)
I was lost in possibilities, but there was nothing to do, Curse was the only one who remained still for several seconds after leaving the door before starting to walk to his chair that moved by itself to signal that he should sit down.
Just after that another door opened, this time the person who appeared was a little strange, because he was carrying a dark blue briefcase with a handle made of bone, his mask was completely white with drawings only scratched over the mask like a simple closed-mouth smile and closed eyes, a very simple and friendly mask, if it weren’t for the golden coin with the unknown characters written Commerce on his forehead, I wouldn’t have been able to identify this Entity.
Commerce was a little different from the others, as soon as he walked out the door, he bowed to the others with one hand raised to his chest, not bowing in a formal way but rather a symbolic greeting of business, he didn’t take long to go to his place after that.
“(I had heard of Commerce, I even spoke to one of his Avatars through Hinata before, but I didn’t think he would be here.)” (me)
As far as I knew, this Rules Meeting is for those with plans that can or will interfere with each other in the same universe, Commerce is just a merchant and shouldn’t have plans beyond negotiating with the participants present here.
“(Maybe he asked to participate precisely because it was a business opportunity…)” (me)
I was still contemplating the reason for Commerce being here and I didn’t see the new door open, but when the individual walked out the door, my eyes turned directly to him and I wasn’t the only one, everyone did the same with the exception of War and the System Vessel.
This new participant gave off an ominous feeling just by looking at him, it was as if his mere existence here raised the darkness within me, his mask itself was an absolute black as if it were mist, it didn’t even look like a mask, it looked more like the darkness of the hood covered his entire face, but within that darkness it was as if there were eyes full of hatred that looked at me, on his forehead was written exactly that word in unknown characters, Hate.
He looked at everyone here for a few seconds with the exception of Commerce and the System Vessel, then he sat down, I’m surprised that no one said anything so far, in fact they didn’t even make a sound, it was as if until everyone was present no sound was allowed to exist in this space.
With the arrival of the Entity of Hatred, who did not know he was in this universe and from the reactions of the others, it was also clear that he was not the only one unaware of his presence here.
That was when a new door opened, the one that appeared made everyone without exception look at her, this included the System’s Receptacle itself, the one that appeared was unmistakable as being a woman, her clothes for some reason were the only ones that were glued to her body, highlighting her curves and her way of walking was too seductive, her mask was a mirror to a place of eternal torment, there was no need to read to know who it could be, everyone here knew about the torment of all existence, Hell.
What made me surprised was that it should be Niryna’s body, but also the fact that it was Callidora who was here.
“I’m the last to arrive, that’s not polite to a guest, System~~.” (Callidora)
“[ Callidora, you were not invited, but you invited yourself to what you were allowed to participate in. ]”
