The visitor came in the dark. He crept up to the 656 clan castle from behind, was let in through a small gate and disappeared into a small chamber. Nobody saw or heard who was waiting for him there and what was being discussed.
And so it came as a bombshell when, shortly after the publication of the embarrassing photos of the former harem ladies of the 656, a video went viral showing Yikesy ironing Mink''s face in great detail.
It was almost impossible to keep calm on the 656, and the 649 also had a royal laugh.
The laughter went round the world, even Princess Sara''s mobile phone on the 625 couldn''t stop ringing.
She almost regretted not staying in the bracket - it seemed to be fun there now! - But then she was glad to have some peace and quiet after two more world changes.
_______________________________________________
Another person, Lil Arrow from 655, also wanted peace and quiet. His level of annoyance had now reached unimaginable heights. Support had answered his request to include offences against the seriousness of the game in the terms and conditions and to punish them strictly with a wait-and-see approach. They wanted to check the case first. Check! As if there was anything to check! Lil Arrow adjusted his golden cape and made sure that the fabric fell correctly. The situation was clear to him, and he very much hoped that the support would come to the same judgement.
He was just about to concentrate seriously on the game again when the shouting started again outside.
''Whoo-hoo, 655!''
''Jesus Christ, what is it!'' Lil Arrow cursed and went to the window. ''I''m not interested in silliness! I''ve already said that!''
''Are you sure you don''t want to join in? You''ll get a nice part in the book too! A better one than now!''
''I don''t want a part in the book at all! I forbid you to write anything about me! I''m a serious player!''
''Okay!'' came the cheerful reply, ''then have fun in the game!''
''I''m not having fun in the game!'' Lil Arrow howled angrily, ''How many times do I have to say that! I''ve already written it in the governor''s chat! I''m not having any fun here! Leave me the fuck alone!''
Angrily, he slammed the window shut.

The horn honked in front of the 656 clan castle.
In the small sports car parked in front of the fence was the same old acquaintance as last time, only this time he was disguised as a Chinese man. However, the disguise was just as bad as the first attempt to imitate a Japanese.
''Hello Marzzzz!'' SGH01 greeted friendly out of the window, ''nice to see you again!''
''I''m not Marzzzz! I''m a very weak little account parking in the no-parking zone outside your house. Come out and beat me up!''
''All right, Marzzzz. Nice of you to pop in again. How are you doing? And how are your Thunder brothers, are they all safe at home?''
''I don''t know any Thunder brothers! I''m in the Japanese clan whose R5 you keep locked up in the town hall dungeon. I''d like to take you for a joyride! If you get in, I''ll drive you to my house in a flash, because I''m a fast driver, muhahahaha! And then I''ll lock you up and won''t let you leave, muhahahaha!''
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
''Sorry Marzzzz, we''ve been told we can''t get in the car with strange men!''
''I''m not Marzzzz dammit! And hey, I''ve got the whole car full of sweets! All you have to do is get in and you''ll get them all! And I''ve got more sweets for you at home!''
''Ohhhh, sweets!'' sighed Genny, ''I think I need to get out of there... if anyone has sweets, I''d get in right now!''
''Stay here!'' shouted Bloody Barrons, just managing to catch hold of Genny, ''that''s Marzzzz, sweetie. He has very special sweets. Believe me, you don''t like them!''
''Are you sure nobody wants to come along? Not even your underbosses? Look, we could do it this way, you get my underboss first, and then I get yours, muhahahaha!''
''Bad swap, Marzzzz! And when you leave, could you please take your plastic sword from last time with you? It''s bad for the planet, you know, throwing everything outside our fence...''
The fast driver sped off angrily in his little sports car. One day, he swore to himself, he would get them all! One way or another!

''What on earth are they doing there?'' Kitty asked in amazement and put down her binoculars. ''Look, the 652... they''re practising... walking? On high heels? And two of the Thunder guys are dancing together? Or holding on to each other? Oops - now they''ve fallen over!''
Several girls pushed their way to the window. ''Let me see!'' ''Give me the binoculars!'' ''I want to see something too!''
Lady Evelyne tore open the window. ''Woo-hoo, 652! What are you doing?''
''None of your business!'' came the prompt reply.
''Why are you all wearing high heels and practising walking?''
''You''d like to know! Our skills and boosts remain our secret!'' the Dude yelled back.
''All right! And that''s coming from someone who chooses his enforcers based on their looks!''
''I''m still better than you! You have no skills!''
''At least we can walk in high heels and you can''t!''
''SILENCE!'' came the agonised roar from the direction of the 655, ''shut the fuck up! I''m trying to concentrate on the game!''
''But we''re not!'' 656 and 652 shouted back in chorus.
''You know what?'' Lil Arrow howled angrily out of the window, ''Just marry each other! If you shout at each other that much, you might as well get married. You''re also a great match with your penchant for embarrassing silliness, and 656 is all girls and 652 is all boys, so it''s a good match! Why don''t you just get married?''
''Because they''re all gay!'' roared the donkey from the stable, ''That''s why!''
''Cry!'' Kodaxx shouted back and slammed the window shut.

When the visitor came for the second time, he was discovered by the attentive SGH01 as he left the clan castle. Lady Evelyne quickly tried to close the gate, but SGH curiously stuck her head outside and tried to catch a glimpse of the stranger hurrying away.
''Who have you met up with? Is that - wasn''t that Aglid? From KqN?''
Lady Evelyne remained silent and pulled SGH back into the kitchen. ''Maybe, dear friend, maybe not. Let''s put it this way, he''s a friend.''
''Well, I''m pretty sure it was Aglid.'' SGH wasn''t fazed.
''Maybe that''s what he calls himself. But who knows for sure who he really is... well, it''s not important. Let''s change the subject.'' Lady Evelyne smiled. ''Tell me, have you seen Genny tonight? I''m kind of worried about her. She seems to have disappeared. The last time she was there was when Marzzzz tried to persuade us to go on that joyride...''
''Do you mean she got in?'' asked SGH, startled, ''and he kidnapped her?''
''No, she didn''t... I''m sure she didn''t fall for him. But something''s not right. My gut instinct is kicking in. I don''t like it.''
SGH took a slice of cake and said, ''Maybe it has something to do with the battles to come. Or that we''re losing this thing. Maybe you have a bad premonition about that?''
''Hm, no. I''ve already got used to it. This is just a game for rich people... at some point you have to accept that. As a normal player, you can choose whether you''re courtier or cannon fodder for the rich blokes. Either you carry the train, or you are the victim who is hunted down and zeroed. At least you have two choices! But that''s it. Alternatively, find a niche and stay in it.''
SGH grumbled. ''To be honest, I don''t fancy either role. But I''m even less keen to put all my money into it. Vind says he''s sure most of the blokes on the 652 are deep in debt.''
Lady Evelyne giggled. ''Well, it was still enough for a bulk order of high heels and kitchen aprons! High heels in large sizes are now sold out, by the way. Zax wanted to order new pink boots for the donkey and got absolutely nothing.''
''Zax can stick his pink boots where the sun never shines!'' protested the donkey from the stable, ''I''m not as gay as you are! Besides, I''m going to quit anyway! Fuck you all!''
''Quiet!'' it roared from the direction of the 655, ''it''s 2:00 am! There are players here trying to sleep!''
SGH giggled. ''Very cool. How nice of him to let us know. Let''s go, guys. Let''s light their towers on fire! Burn them all!''
''Those are our lyrics!'' immediately followed an indignant shout from the 652, ''stop stealing our lyrics right now!''
Lil Arrow on the 655 gave up. Furious, he stuffed a lot of cotton wool into his ears to finally find some peace. Tomorrow he would write the next letter to the support team! First thing tomorrow!
