This story is going on a short break while I work on Vol.2.

See you in a few days!
Epilogue Volume 1:
"Huh?" Yin stared backwards, wondering why she felt so empty. It was like something important had been taken from her. But she couldn't remember what. In the distance, Tiendas City crumbled into dust.
"I...what am I missing?"
"Wait, wasn't someone else with me?"
She unzipped her jacket for some reason.
*Zip*
Her right hand grasped at a bloody katana. The tip of the blade had broken off which meant it was no longer suited to combat. However, even still, Yin didn't want to throw it away. For some reason she felt like she had to treasure this weapon. She also found an unfamiliar tuft of orange fur inside her coat. However, it was cold in the morning air, whatever creature it was from, was long gone.
"What's this?"
Shaking her head, she just stood there outside the Secret Dungeon, watching the sun come up.
"I...I'm crying. But I don't know why. Why am I so sorry?"

"How long do you intend to keep him in the Void Prism? You violated your authority, Insolence." An orange cat with two different color eyes spoke the human language. One was blue and one was emerald green. It squinted until the one in front of it grew exceedingly uncomfortable.
Before the cat, was a white-robed man who looked like a priest. The System God once known as Tatsuya.
"Please...Loneliness, you should just stay by yourself. It's how you are meant to be. Stop butting into my affairs." Insolence sneered, tapping his mace gently. "If I want to play with these worms then I shall. What are you going to do about it?"
"Not much. I'll just tell them the truth." The orange house cat suddenly looked particularly annoyed as it licked its paw. "You overstepped your authority, created an unbeatable Secret Dungeon, and then imprisoned a Hunter for no reason. None of which is in your orders."
"Now, now!" Insolence grew uneasy. "Listen, there's no need to bother the System Monitors with something so trivial! What do I have to do to keep you silent?"
"Mmm...I dunno. What will you do?" The housecat narrowed its multi-colored eyes.
"F-Fine! Ugh, I hate you, Loneliness. But I'm not letting him go for a bit. He needs to pay for what he did to me! And the memory changes are permanent! The files are already gone! Short of a miracle, there's no regaining them."
"Insolence...you're a bad liar. Sigh...whatever. Dealing with your problems has used up too much of my mana. I'm sleepy. I'm going to take a nap. When I wake up, he better not still be inside the void prism!"
"Damn, you're so demanding...what kind of System Admin is so bored that they can waste their Source Memory on trivial natives...?"
"What was that?"
"N-Nothing! Just wishing you well! Have a good rest!"
End of Vol. 1
