'Come on, come on-!'

I kept trying, but it won't budge. While some of my sinners still in the battle for the past minutes "can't you just, you know, turn it off and on?" Ishmael asks

<normally i can, but this time I can't.> I replied, I've turned it off before but this time? I really can't.

"If thou cannot do it, then I shall defeat them myself!" Don Quixote then charged with her lance before I could stop her going at one of the tingtang members, she got knocked back by some force that forbids her from attacking

Don Quixote's eyes widen at the sudden force that knocked her back, falling on her back with her lance off her hands "oi, what was that?!" Heathcliff shouted, eyes widen at the sudden knockback, looking back at Don Quixote surprisingly she didn't cry (something like that), she just uncharacteristically stared with wide eyes

"Silly me." It's them again- I don't think I've heard them ever from the last minute except that groan they let out before gone completely.

Maybe...i can try it now.

I tried commanding the sinners that are in battle, and then the sinners began moving and killing every last member and the boss

"You... Tarned little roaches...who the hell do ya work for...? S' about time...ya told us..." The boss laid on the ground, bloody and full of wounds "we..."

"...are from limbus company." "LIMBUS COMPANY!!" I swore I could've heard music and them synchronize with gregor...wait- "Finally. One less milestone 'round the neck."

"That... Doesn't... Help at all...!" The boss said, frustrated, close to fully dead "oh, and for reference, Effie and I work in a different department. Please do not associate us with them." saude added, the sheer frustration over our aversion to conversing sensibly must've played a considerable role in causing the boss to pass out.

My condolences to the poor fellows patience.

"Do we seriously have to wear these, though? Stuff reeks of sweat and blood and... Smells grody too." Rodya complained, lifting the shirt she took from a tingtang member with two fingers like she was handling trash. "Yuck, some hair, too... This is the first time I'm jealous of Dante's missing eyes.."

<I can see, by the way...> I replied, i was also a bit disgusted at the condition of the shirt and I would probably can't tell what I'm looking at or who is who if I was blind. "This looks...pretty dandy, actually? I guess their business was more successful than I thought." Effie commented and praised  "I want that. Bagsy." Ryoshu pointing at effie's outfit, refusing to wear the bloody shirt "I-i can't, it's been tailored-made."

<...the label here says that it's good for all girths.> looking closely at effie's clothes, noticing that my gaze was fixed at the label of his clothing, effie barked "gr... W-we wouldnt be doing any of this if you hadnt cause all of that ruckus in the pawnshop."

"I don't mind. I've always wanted to try on clothes like these. It's like filming a movie." Hong lu picking up the shirt and happily putting it on "to be honest, I'm a little nervous. Its been a while I've worked in disguise." Ishmael said "I don't feel like it. This is the cowards way."

"Sorry, but can someone please keep her mouth shut?" Saude requested "...you're free to try as long as you're good with your ribs being cut apart." Gregor said, making every sinner crack up about it

For a moment, effie and saude seemed to wonder how they should take it..

Before it's not worth mulling over and move on, effie then lifted up a small container that appear to be inlaid with nacre. "This is a wish canister we seized from the tingtang gang's boss." Effie said, holding the wish canister in front of us "manager, I heres a simple role you can play."

<what are you...?>

"I guess we could owe you an explanation, judging from your clueless motion." Saude said "The long and short of it that this thing contains J corp's other singularity. This is a tool that sucks up 'wishes' from people and stores them in some form of energy." Effie explains, then saude continues "when the time is right, squeeze that wishpower onto a sheet of paper, and voila! You get a one-use stick-on tatto that boost your luck to high heavens"

"Seems the plan was try to win the game to the top of the Lord by scraping up others luck... Imagine, the boss of the some lowly gang was carrying one of these." Effie said, could be possible but I hope not. "Manager...dante, right? I want you to hold on to this when we enter the casino." Effie then gave the wish canister to me, i don't know if I should be carrying this unless I get caught... <Am I really allowed to carry such big responsibility?>

"You don't look like you're oozing with confidence. We do have reasons for assigning you to this task." Effie reassures "first off, a poker face is going to be vital when you're gambling. No matter how good they are at reading expressions, they won't be able to read from a clock."

"This game is already a gamble..." The voice said, i can't really blame them it's hard getting some identities with this amount of lunacy.

...Wait, game—?

"Dante? Are you listening?" <w-what?> I snapped out of my head, with Effie looking at me with somewhat annoyed expression and sighed "second, I trust that they've appointed you as their manager for a reason. Call it a hunch, but something me you'll be more useful than those sinners you're leading"

...come to think of it, he had a point.

I was given the title of a manager, but never had any chance to be the charismatic leader I've envisioned; instead of showing respect, my sinners would constantly berate and threaten me.

The only role I could afford to play was bringing them back to life.

While the sinners were engaging in fierce battle, all I would do is cower behind them, anxiously praying that their heads and hearts were unscathed.

With a heavy heart, I nodded to let him know I was ready. "Alright. Put this on your arm. You'll be the luckiest person in the city for a short while." Effie said, getting myself a wishpower "now then, you'll act as tingtangers, and well be croupiers. Break a leg everyone." Saude cheers, already walking to the entrance of the casino

Vowing that we'll see this operation to success no matter what...

We opened the door to the casino.

That's... New.

You don't remember Effie calling out to Dante if he's listening, he just continues talking. Couldn't really be a rewrite unless THE project moon announce a rewrite something like that (and a 300 lunacy as compensation...) And almost everything else was the same.

Dante doesn't really feel right to you, you don't know how to describe it but- it feels wrong. It's something but in a bad way.

checking the time, you should really make dinner. 

Closing the game and turning off your laptop, you began going downstairs to the kitchen and started cooking. At least eating something homemade rather than take outs.

You made whatever you got in the in the fridge and pantry, not really something "dinner" Appropriate but at least it's good enough I think...

You picked up your plate and grabbed a glass of water, leaving another one for isaac to grab once he gets out of his room "isaac, Dinner's ready!" You shouted loud enough for isaac to hear, on your way to your room placing your food on your desk, turning your laptop on again. (seriously, why did you even turn it off if you're gonna use it again?)

You didn't really play limbus company again, you weren't a big fan of playing while eating. You felt a bit bored if you played limbus company too long, So with other games.

You then ate the last remaining of food on the plate, ending it with a sip of water. Watching another youtube video, pause, leave them on to place your dirty plate, come back to room, and then watch another video because you're already bored.

After hours of watching just youtube (and feeling the need to just lay down), you turned off your laptop and plop yourself to the bed while doomscrolling on tiktok again. Probably looking at rodya edits again or other game related things.

And then you fell asleep on bed with your phone still on your hand.

"That would be...23 dollars." The cashier said with your bag full of snacks and drinks, you went to your pockets to grab your wallet and...

You only have 20 in your wallet. You thought you had somewhere around 25.

Welp, I guess you could sacrifice one of your favorites... You can buy them later and you don't have the heart to sacrifice Isaac's favorite

"Uhhh... I'll have the chips out. The [insert favorite chips] one." You requested, finally left with 19 dollars and now you only have 1 dollar. Inflation nowadays... Your budget for everyday is 50 dollars, thanks from work and your parents sending you money

You were now back home after a lot of pacing around in the convenience store...yippe! You removed your shoes (didn't even bother to place them properly you lazy phuck) and then started organizing the snacks, mostly the cold ones to the fridge except you took some of your favorites and took them to your room

'Finally I have a lot of time to continue the story...and probably prepare for canto 3' You opened your laptop then IMMEADIATELY clicked limbus company and logging in to the game and then

"Donwloading 500 mb of data

You will be returned to the title screen if your device has insufficient storage space.

A direct internet connection (Wi-Fi) is recommend"

FUCK

Why do this always happen daily STOP TRYING TO BRICK YOUR LAPTOP

Ok FINEEE, you clicked "confirm" Anyway and laid down on your bed doomscrolling while waiting for the download to end and eating ice cream that you bought from the store because you do NOT like melted ice cream

And your fyp is very... Interesting.

Why the fuck is your fyp slandering rodya.

How the fuck did you go from rodya appreciation to rodya slander.

HOW FAR DID YOU GO???

You LOVEE rodya and you CANNOT tolerate rodya hate just because her canto is "ass"

*limbus company sound fx when you log in*

FINALLY bro, the moment you heard that sound you got up from your bed and sat down checking on what's new or whatever

You REALLY need that lunacy but you haven't unlocked mirror dungeon yet sigh...

You hated this. You HATE this battle.

Of course Hong lu always has to lose a clash at turn 1 (probably ends up almost staggered), HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO THIS. your team is kinda lacking so you really had to compromise, but hey, at least you got the latest ryoshu though so it's great!! Thanks to beginner luck and the free login stuff

Ive been hearing voices lately, ever since we arrived at J corp

And most of them are insulting the sinners (except rodya, she rarely gets any insults), especially when they lose a clash and it's mostly Hong lu...Although I don't blame them because he loses a lot of clash

I don't have a lot of ID's for the sinners, and the most I got from the extraction look really strong, and a free ID and EGO for myself to pick. (Well, not really. There was something that made me pick that ID and EGO)

"Hm? What's up?" Presumably the boss came, right when we finished the fight "boss! Some fasole who haven't even told where they're from rolled into town all of a sudden!"

"Who sent ya? The way you're dressed tells me it ain't Los habaneros or the butchers..." The boss asked clearly suspicious of us "I'll give you a chance to grovel fer forgiveness. Do that and I'll let ya limbs in a tow."

"...we would gladly part if you were to take off your clothing for us." Yi sang asked, uhhh...

What?

"That makes it sound kinda weird." Gregor said, it was really unexpected especially its from yi sang.

"What the hell." Even they're shocked...

"Boss... I think they might be the... Off pods people have been talking about... Y'know, rumored to fandangle with people's odors." The minion said out of fear, now, our assumed big boss of the gang is looking at us with genuine disgust.

"Greh...disgusting bunch... Lemme tell ya, that's no way to live..."

<I have not wanted to win a fight as desperately as I do now.>

That was...wow.

You didn't expect Yi sang to say that, even if you knew that he said that before (due to spoilers) but you didn't expect it to be now

Battle is starting...And you HOPE that Hong lu atleast wins a clash

But why are you using still Hong lu? Great question.

Because Hong lu has a 000 ID and it's a good one indeed. And the rest? None (well, except ryoshu and the sinclair you got from). Your only 00 ID's are W corp Faust, Liu Assoc gregor, shi Ishmael, and middle meursault

You should use those ID's because they're new right? No, you just went with spider blade ryoshu, Nclair, lord Hong lu, middle meursault, and LCB rodya.

....

You were almost done in battle until while eating your snacks then suddenly-

Knock knock

You groaned knowing who it is especially at this time

"What-?" You opened the door and of course it's isaac.

"'N', where's the ice cream I promised? Don't tell me you forgot!" Isaac cuts you off before you could even say something properly

"Erm, ACTUALLY I didn't forget but that ice cream sold out. And since that your usual favorite ice cream is still in stock so I got that one for you." You explained (like a nerd) "also, stop knocking over my figures on the shelf."

"I didn't! I never went into your room!"

"Yeah sure, like when you would come to my room to just throw your trash in MY trash bin?"

I can't...command my sinners to do anything. It wouldn't start.

"Dante? Are you okay? You haven't given us any commands" Hong lu asked with curiosity, is there something wrong with this thing...? <I'm fine, I just...cant command you all.> I tried again, yet it still doesn't work.

"Ehh? How come?" Rodya questions with wide eyes, she seems to trying to approach me but she stayed still "I can't... Move?" Huh?

"I can't move either." Hong lu said that tried moving too, it didn't happen last time when we went to G corp. Everything was fine before that voice came.

Does it have something to do with them?

I'm already working on it tho... It's also on wattpad because it lacks limbus company x reader there and I crave more self aware limbus company
