the midnight inn. what could he say about it? a lot, actually. the name was so simple. so deceiving. almost as if it were just a generic building, the signs of age and wear covered with cheap paint, crammed together with other old, cheap buildings, found in the heart of an old city. the name made it sound like an inn with an exciting nightlife, with drinks being served by pretty barmaids, and the crowds getting rowdy every chance they got.
but the reality of it was so much greater than it seemed. or maybe that's what the name actually meant. the inn was like the night sky, filled with a trillion stars, hiding galaxies and countless wonders, all ingeniously hidden in the dark. that had to be it.
or maybe there was an even deeper meaning to it - one that chen could not quite understand. it certainly wouldn't be something arbitrary, such as representing a random time of day when one suddenly thought of making an inn. it certainly wouldn't be because the hand that wields destiny, and writes out fate like an omniscient being thought the name sounded cool.
no, chen was certain that there were numerous mysteries hidden within the name, just as the inn itself held countless mysteries that he had yet to uncover. even after spending years at the inn, it was funny that he discovered new things about it everyday.
then again, he did spend most of his time working.
"boss, it's time," someone said as they knocked on the door, causing chen to open his eyes and release the breath he had been keeping in. as someone who had been in the nascent realm for a little over a year now, he didn't really need to breathe, but he liked to do it anyway.
chen, nominally known as brother chen, had been running a successful business with his sister inside the midnight inn for years now. everything was so different from the life he had once known. for a long time, it had felt amazing beyond description.
suffice to say, their operation was much larger than chen's and lilys. the guards checked lily and chen before they could enter, and insisted that chen leave his sword behind, which made the former soldier frown.
but he relented, and handed the sword to one of his own guards.
"this is a complete farce," he said to his sister, through his spirit sense.
"please, this is the last deal," lily responded. "after this, we will sit and talk about how you want to proceed with the business. but if we can land elet corp as a buyer, our scale of operations is going to explode."
despite the friction they were experiencing, the two did not let it show on the outside as they finally met with their potential clients.
elet corp was run by a race called wingans. they were small, at only two to three feet tall, with dark brown skin, four wings and arms, but no legs. despite the unusual shape of their bodies, they were absolutely lethal, and their wings could cut through almost anything their level, and did not break easily. they were also very smart.
"gentlemen, we meet at last," chen said with a smile on his face, almost as if he didn't hate these things and their entire business.
"brother chen, sister lily, your reputation precedes you," one of them said, flying up to eye level as a sign of respect. "please, come in. there is much to discuss."
in the background, a screen showing the midnight games was playing.
