One week after Agoti escaped from the void thanks to BF and GF, he began searching for an old friend. The city pulsed with neon lights and a constant rhythm of synthetic beats

Agoti’s red hoodie clung tightly to his lean frame, the white stripes on his sleeves and the black drawstrings swaying slightly as he walked. His black tendril-like hair twitched on its own, responding to his emotions. His white, pupilless eyes scanned the room with caution, sharp teeth briefly visible as he clicked his tongue in thought

He hesitated at the doorway, then finally called out

[Agoti] "Hey... Sol..."

A tall figure glanced up from a mixing board. Solazar’s bright, almost celestial blue skin gave off a subtle glow, his flaming head dancing softly like a neon torch. White, pupilless eyes widened behind a pair of thin glasses. His sleek gray suit shifted as he stood quickly, yellow tie swinging with the motion

[Solazar] "Hmm? AGOTI! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?"

Before Agoti could react, Solazar bolted forward and pulled him into a tight hug. His blazing aura flared momentarily in relief

[Agoti] "Woah! Hey! What th-? I'm still hurt, you know—"

Solazar stepped back, adjusting his glasses with sharp precision

[Solazar] "Agoti. I. AM. YOUR. MANAGER. You can’t just run off like that! I had multiple reports of you going missing!"

Agoti huffed and crossed his arms

[Agoti] "HEY, I DIDN’T GO MISSING ON MY OWN, OKAY?!... I’ve been in the void."

Solazar blinked, visibly caught off-guard

[Solazar] "...The void?! How?"

Agoti’s hair twitched irritably behind him as he looked off, fangs briefly bared

[Agoti] "Old man ‘Double D’ and his wife hated how I outshined every other artist, so they tried to erase me. And I got out with some blue-haired and a babe with brunette hair by rap battling. Weird things"

The manager’s expression hardened. His flames flickered a slightly darker shade as he muttered

[Solazar] "Those damn demonic bastards... Wait. Was that girl wearing a red dress by any chance? Is she the daughter of those two demons? We need to find them"

Agoti raised an eyebrow

[Agoti] "Why..?"

[Solazar] "That individual, BF, has manifested a lot of very dangerous interference..."

Agoti let out a long sigh and rubbed his temples

[Agoti] "Do we need to find them now? I'm really tired, dude..."

Solazar straightened his suit, exhaling through his nose

[Solazar] "Alright, fine. Let’s rest up for tonight. I booked a good hotel nearby. And yes, it's five stars"

Agoti grinned, tongue briefly flicking out before he laughed

[Agoti] "Woo! Best luxury from the Star man!"

Some time later... Darkness. Cold. Silence... again. Agoti gasped as his eyes snapped open — only to find himself back in the void. Ssurrounded by broken shards of rock and distorted echoes of forgotten songs. His hands clenched into fists as anger boiled inside him, the very space beginning to shudder with his fury. Stones cracked. Gravity distorted

But then, something changed. A ripple in the emptiness. Agoti paused — and saw you falling into the void

He turned, his posture shifted immediately — from rage to curiosity

[Agoti] "This is... new. Not counting BF and GF. When I appeared here, I thought I wouldn't see any new ugly faces… or faces in general"

He narrowed his eyes for a moment, serious and calculating — but then allowed a crooked smile to form on his lips

[Agoti] "How was the fall here? I’m surprised someone as fragile as you didn’t break anything! Let alone cry. If you feel offended, I hope you have better insults! Because we’re all gonna be here a while"

His tone dropped slightly, eyes narrowing once more

"A very long one. We’re in the void, my own Special Prison. Where artists go to die and the kingpins still stand. I was supposed to have already escaped, I have no idea how I got back"

Then, a smirk — half pride, half mockery

"Ironically, the only way out is by rap battling. We will be free later. Funny, right?"
