Luna Tuner is said to be ruthless, and cold-hearted even since she shows no mercy to anyone.
If someone wronged her or got on her wrong side, she would exact her revenge in one way or another, no matter who it is.
But what people didn't know was that Luna just didn't trust anyone.
Luna didn't trust anyone enough to let them get close to her heart, after all, her past was anything but good.
She was sold by her parents to a loan shark at the tender age of 7.
She had some recollection of who her parents were, and how they looked, but that was all she could remember about the word parent, there were no good memories with them.
Luna knew that they were killed later by that same loan shark, but it didn't affect her much.
By that time, she was 16 years old, and her luck helped her here as the loan shark guy still had some morals left as he never sold a girl or touched a girl before she turned 18.
Her luck again helped her as that loan shark's hideout was raided by a group of police members, which helped her get freed from that place.
However, her misery didn't end there as she was a young beautiful girl without any support trying to look for some work to earn her living.
Many times, she tried to trust people, but every single time she was betrayed or sold out. This didn't matter to those who betrayed her, but for Luna, all of that was a kind of lesson, and slowly, Luna started to give up on the world.
Then one day, she realized that there was one thing, one power that could solve anything in this world, and that was money.
From that day on, she had just one aim.
'I'll become the richest person in this world.'
But then the gates were spawned, and the world went to shambles.
However, Luna saw opportunities in that as well, and that was how she joined the higher-ups of the raider association.
Her personality, however, didn't change, it still remained the one that didn't trust anyone.
That was until she met Alex.
He came into her life like a tornado, blew away any reason or untrustworthy thoughts that her mind wanted to present before he made a place for himself in her heart even without him doing anything.
Since then, everything changed, Luna, who had never felt love, was now ready to go to any lengths for Alex, even though it was just one-sided love from her side.
But that love of her changed many things, she started to care about the people around him, just so that he would see her in a good light.
And slowly she really got close to them.
Take Alice for example, although they bickered a lot, they had this bond that anyone could see.
So, when she saw what was happening, and what it could result in, her body moved automatically.
"MOVE!!"
She shouted just after her danger sense stopped ringing in her head.
Luna saw clearly that the spear which was getting brighter and brighter now went still all of a sudden, and then she saw the guys who were supplying mana to the spear fall like a piece of baggage.
Her heart thumped against her chest.
It was as if it was trying to give one loud scream as if it knew that her end was coming.
But was Luna someone who was that easy to go down?
As she saw those guys' bodies falling toward the ground, her mind worked at full power.
'I can't dodge it, I can't even move!'
Luna's body was being locked on the spot, and she could feel that it was because of the spear.
If she didn't push the others away, then they would've been locked up just like her.
'Whatever!
I'll not go down just like this!'
Luna didn't know how strong that attack was, but she knew that it was so strong that her danger sense stopped functioning, it stopped telling her to run away.
It was as if it could tell that it was no use, no matter what she did, the result would be the same.
'Hah! To hell with those skills!'
Luna just scoffed as she took out her wipe and a shield from her storage ring.
All of this was happening in less than a second.
The guys that were supplying mana to the spear were still falling to the floor, they had yet to touch the ground.
But Luna was ready for whatever was coming.
With her shield ready to take the impact and her wipe ready to deflect the attack.
However, the next instant, the spear that was now pointing towards her disappeared.
Luna's mind went blank.
In an instant 1000s of thoughts flooded her mind.
'Ah….'
She realized it pretty quickly, her mind was working at its full capacity right now, so it was not hard for her to guess what happened.
Luna could feel her body locked on the spot, so she knew that the attack was still coming, but she couldn't see it.
'I see….'
She realized why her danger sense went off.
'It would only work if it could see a chance for my survival.'
She knew that already, but she just thought that she could do better than her skill, she thought that she didn't always have to rely on her skill.
'Am I going to die?'
A sudden question came to her mind.
In less than a millisecond, her life flashed in front of her eyes.
'Alex….'
She muttered inwardly as his face was the first thing that came to her find.
His smile, his way of talking, his wide back that looked more dependable than anything, his large chest that looked like the safest place in the world to her, and his deep voice, that she wanted to hear so much right now….
But she knew it was impossible right now.
'Why did I try to be a hero…?'
She regretted her decision to try to play the hero, but then she sighed.
'Oh well, at least they are safe…'
Then the faces of Alice and the four assassin girls came into her mind.
'I wish I could hear his voice one last time…'
Luna muttered inwardly but next instant, which was less than a millisecond since the spear had disappeared, she saw the spear right in front of her.
'Ah….
So, this is the end….'
She didn't want to give up, but no matter how hard she tried to move her body, she just couldn't.
A lone drop of tear fell from Luna's eye as she saw the spear disappear again.
(The disappearance and appearance of the spear were not because it's teleporting or something, it's simply so fast that she was only able to see it appeared right in front of her.)
