PROLOGUE

The clink of glasses, the clatter of utensils upon plates and the soft murmur of conversation flows smoothly in the warmly lit dining hall. It's a dinner party, a rather vivacious one at that, with the food flowing freely. Savory and sweet, regional specialties, refined and rustic, there's something for everyone. Omurice, chiffon cake, kimchi, sizzling porterhouse steaks—it might be more apt to call it a buffet than anything else.

Do buffets usually serve such a unique smorgasbord of food? And actually, weren't you doing something else? A free meal is usually a good thing but is anything truly free? Who are these people around you? And where exactly are you?

Whatever thoughts are racing through your mind, they're abruptly cut off by a note, high pitched G-sharp from a woodwind. All your senses return to you, though they won't tell you much. Maybe not all of them actually, if you're used to feats of heroic strength or manipulating reality or numerous other abilities. There is one clue at least, a heavy weighted paper beneath your plate, an embossed note rather than a list of courses.

"Enjoy yourselves. I'll come see you when you've had your fill. And don't try to dine and dash, huh? There's something I have—something I can do for you, after all. Besides, you've already agreed to the terms anyway!"

Welcome to your Fairy Tale.

[ There's so much to ask judge here... Time to pick one for now. ]

I forgot. Mind giving a refresher?

[begrimed]

[ He quirks his head then smiles. ]

On what part? Kill someone, get your wish, it's pretty simple right?

[libirdian]

[ He'll return that smile with a cold stare. ]

...How about on how you heard our wishes in the first place?

[begrimed]

No can do. Some information is only for the actors behind the curtain. But if you don't believe me, I don't mind sharing yours.

[ It's not said as a threat explicitly, but it wouldn't be hard to take it as one. Answer carefully! ]

[libirdian]

[ So that part is a secret, huh? Why is this something out of a fantasy novel? Maybe he should start treating it more like one. And if that's the case... ]

Hmm. If making it public gives more power to you, I'll have to decline. I don't think it's wise to give you more than you already have.

[begrimed]

Ahaha, well played little bird.
