Task World 5: Meeting the Castigator

‘Vivien, allow me to clarify. I have to look for a man with violet eyes, white long hair and a dragon tattoo on his back?’ Jana was surrounded by raucous men and flapping noises— all coming from rows of table where they're playing cards. Those requirements are hard to miss. The pale hair should be a dead giveaway about who is his mission target for this instance.

The problem is, she can't find the man. The gamblers were all hiding their heads in a hoodie. Gambling is an offense in this setting. It's a capital offense in this country. So Jana is in a situation that may lead her to death. Instantly.

'Is Ezekiel... really inside this task world?'

Vivien issued a happy nod. "Yes, host! I can detect his life force when we entered the world. There shouldn't be any mistakes."

Jana doesn't know how Ezekiel managed to do it, but he hijacked Vivien's membrane and changed all of her data. The system malfunction was all his doing. It could be said that Ezekiel created a system of his own.
