"Ever hear of inflation?" Mr. Gold gave a deadpan expression when asked why he shouldn't just make more money. He then cleared his throat. "But in all seriousness, money is just more of an easier transaction than... say... taking back your world." He said.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Nicholas asked.

"Do you think it was by chance that your little blue planet was able to give life? Moonchild had no such skill in making a capable universe, let alone a [i]multi[/i]verse. I had to give him something to kickstart the creation of Earth. I loaned him that and told him to pay me back. If I don't get paid in money, I'll just simply repossess the Earth." Mr. Gold said.

"Well, why don't you? You seem to be a good dude and all..." Nicholas said.

"Here's the thing... Moonchild sees you all as special little snowflakes... [i]I[/i] on the other hand see nothing but good... cheap... labour." Mr. Gold sneered, showing that his teeth was made of gold. He then walked down to Samuel. "I [i]do[/i] apologize for Moonchild's rather deceptive means of recruiting you lot. If it helps in any matter, you will be all returned to the moment you hit the send button. It'll be as if you were never gone... Provided things work out well." Mr. Gold said.

"[i][color=crimson]Up until today, all of this was some sort of fiction to me. A video game, a TV show, an anime, a manga, or a book, it didn't matter[/color][/i]"

"Yeah... but that's what makes this so cool! Ever wanted to jump into a game you [i]always[/i] loved? Or talk with a character who was your favorite? This... This is the ultimate job..." Nicholas said. And then Rin slapped Samuel.

"Ooooh, she's a feisty one!" Mr. Gold said. Nicholas kind of cracked a smile.

"Remind me not to pick a fight with her..." Nicholas muttered. He then looked to the portal. "Well, it's up to you." He said to Sam. Nicholas then jumped into the portal along with some of the others.

[hr] 

A white portal opened in front of an extravagant castle. Particularly, a white stone bridge. The portal was on the ground and the people who entered were spat out of it, went into the air for a moment before falling onto the ground. As the people began to come out of the portal, they heard a loud shout:

"[b]WAAAASTED![/b]"

"Wait, what?" Nicholas shook his head as he crashed into a tree. Just then, he saw a group of people on horses. One of them was a middle-aged man with a graying hair and beard, along with a golden crown. His wearing of robes immediately pointed Nicholas in the direction that he is the king. Riding next to him was a beautiful woman with long golden hair. Obviously the king's daughter...

Making her...

"Hey!" Nicholas shouted. The king looked up at the tree. 

"What the? Who are you? What are you doing up in a tree?" The king said before chuckling.

"Um... Princess Protection Program?" Nicholas said.

"Ooh! Guards! Take him down!" The king said to his men as they went over, climbed up the tree and helped him down.

"Dad, did you [i]seriously[/i] hire an escort? Aren't the guards enough?" The woman asked.

"Odette..." The king shushed his daughter before turning to Nicholas, who just got onto the ground. "I'm sorry, but can you keep this whole PPP thing hush hush? I don't want the princess to panic..." He asked.

"Um... Sure?" He whispered back. He then turned his head to see if anyone else was coming. "Erm... I didn't come alone. Is that okay?" He asked.

"Sure... Just escort us to our kingdom and we'll reward you there." He whispered back. Nicholas nodded.
