Aorica (아오리카, Aorika) is a planet in Denma.
Summary[]
Here's known to be the most vicious planet even among all the hideout planets in the universe eight, and the planet consists of outlaws and their relatives who're either banished or on the run, so here's beyond any jurisdiction so there's a safe haven for criminals, so the people can't do anything without the authorization of the U.C.S..
Their main source of income is from their drug manufacture and trafficking, which account for a staggering 13% of the entire universe, and the so-called Hourglass series, in particular, is their best seller, and whenever a new product from the series is released, it's instantly sold out, and the people can image how high the prices goes up. The Hourglass is the drug that shapes into an hourglass when the people mix it in the water, and it gets more expensive with a thinner waistline. The Golden Hourglass is a top grade product and they only gave these out to the top elites of the universe eight.
The king of here uses the profit he gained from the drugs to equip and even manufacture powerful weapons, and with all the work they put in their planetary defense, there's no telling just how strong their firepower really is, and he also has a planetary vigilante called 'The Thousand Men', consisting of literally a thousand Quanxs, more importantly, since the whole planet is a safe haven, even the Patrol won't lend their aid on this one.
20 years ago, the king of here's kidnapping and extortion days are almost 20 years ago.
Currently, there're dozens of Quanx abilities delicately put together, which delicately form what appears to be a planet, and that is the proof that the White Police Guards which is the Duke left Gosan never disbanded, and rather, it still exists to this day. Right before the attack, the Duke ordered the White Police Guards to build it like the Hourglass shape, because the Duke said if they're going to do this, they might as well make it look like the merchandise Aorican used to sell here, so that the later generations of the universe eight would know too. It's not an actual hourglass, and Aorican sold drugs called the Hourglass.
In Volume 8, it's revealed that this book contains the first part of 「Kuan's Fridge」. Kuan's Fridge is a major variable in the object Quanx with a multi-dimensional space inside. In「A Catnap」, a result (?) of this incident which gave a great shock to the whole universe was hidden in it. The collision between the universe eight's best noble family, Gosan family and the second noble family, El family, makes our eyes off.
History[]
20 years ago[]
In A Catnap (162), the man says he'll add another 0.1% on the Corporal of Patrol's commission, but he rejects this and he demands 0.2 and he asks he can take Agnes with him. The man says they've plenty of girls here and Agnes is mediocre. The Corporal of Patrol says Agnes is the Duke's Deva, and he shows the enterprises he owns. The man says he's the king of here and his kidnapping and extortion days are almost 20 years ago, and he sees and surprises the Duke's enterprises. The Corporal of Patrol says Agnes is scheduled to be sent back in the afternoon and he plans that he'll tell the king of here their route and he'll intercept her. The king of here rejects the plan and he would rather expand his drug distribution lines, and he says if the sum is high enough to impress his boys, the Duke prick will probably give up on Agnes in a heartbeat. The Corporal of Patrol says they're going to make a news headline out of Agnes' kidnapping, then the Duke will never give up on her, and not with his ego and his title of a Patron, and if they can distract everyone on her kidnapping, they can distribute his newest products fast and in large quantities. The king of here accepts it, and he says the fanatics will sit this one out. The Corporal of Patrol says here's beyond any jurisdiction so there's a safe haven for criminals, so the fanatics can't do anything without the authorization of the U.C.S., and they're too afraid to upset the council, and they never get involved themselves, and the king of here have an army of a thousand Quanxs, the shield of here, the Thousand Men, even Patrols won't dare mess with.
Mayhen comes in haste and reports to the Duke that Agnes has been kidnapped. A Security Department member comes in haste and reports to the Chief of Security Department and Max that Agnes has been kidnapped. A member holds Agnes' chin in his hand and takes her hostage, and he threats if the offer is way below his expectation she's his, so the Duke can feel free to be generous, and he'll give him three days to come up with the figure. The Duke says he'll see them in three hours, and they're surprised to hear that. The Duke says he has enough on his plate as it's, and if he had to wait another three days, he wouldn't even remember his demands by then, so they can give him the coordinates for his ransom pickup, and he'll go there himself for the exchange, and he can get his filthy hands off of Agnes because he can't see her pretty face, and whatever sum he has in mind, he guarantee him will get more as long as no harm comes to her.
A member calls to the king of here and reports that the Duke will see them in three hours and he's coming with only one of his entourage and he asked for the coordinates, so he thinks he has no clue what's going on right now.
The Director of Pax Industries says he strongly urge the Duke to reconsider because it's too dangerous to go there by himself, and he explains to here. The Duke says the Hourglass is the drug which gets more expensive with a thinner waistline, and he gets to know that's where it came from. The Director of Pax Industries explains to here and he says so the Duke can't go there. The Duke says so that's exactly why he has to does this himself. Kanu says she thinks it'd be best if the Duke let the church to bring back Agnes. The Duke asks Kanu had stand against the U.C.S. itself. The Director of Pax Industries asks why doesn't the Duke just send the White Police Guards instead. The Duke answers the meeting with the archbishops is imminent so he'd rather take care of this quietly. The Duke agonizes about who should he take as his entourage. The king of here accepts it, and he says the Duke must has something up his sleeve, but there's not a faction who posed any threat to them in the entire universe, and with the firepower they've right now, they can take on the entire Universe eight, if they wanted to, and they just needed enough diversion and time to ensure a smooth distribution of their brand new merch, and he might as well kidnap him too and asks for his ransom as well, that'll make things easier.
In the dick shaped spacecraft, the Duke calls to the Chief of Security Department that it's only right that he handle it himself when it's difficult the church to intervene, and he'll see to it that Agnes returns home safe. The Duke's entourage says here sell drugs to a whole planet but they go through all this trouble for some ransom, so it's strange, and they're trying to make a distraction from their real agenda, which is something like a major shipment or the launch of their newest product. The Duke's entourage asks why the Duke is going there himself if he know something's up, and why they're moving on a spacecraft. The Duke answers he's about to strike a major deal with the church soon, so everything has to be perfect, and he'd has to show some sincerity towards Agnes, and even if here have a thousand Quanxs as their vigilante army on their side, he highly doubts that they'll welcome a Interplanetary Teleporting Hyper-Quanx.
In the universe thirteen, Intersecting Space Bureau, the one person is all ready to cross over. The person is the only one who survived out of everyone from the universe eight. The bureau staff hopes the person just don't get shot or captured by the guards there, and he'll send it at around the time it arrived in the universe thirteen, and he just wish their guess was right about the Intersecting Space there. At this time, the feed is digesting. The bureau staff says to the person that it started eating so it's time to go. In the universe eight, planet Yana, Intersecting Space Bureau, a devil dog which is skin is red, and its horns are black, it eats the feed. The guards say that the new ingredients must agree with the devil dog. At this time, the devil dog's stomach is shine, because something's entering through the Intersecting Space. The devil dog tries to throw up in the toilet, because maybe he think it was the food. The devil dog throw up the person with the universe thirteen in the toilet. The guard calls to they bring everyone to the septic tank. The chief orders the guards just activate the grinder already, and they put everyone else on emergency stand-B, and they don't even think about going home until they know for sure it's safe. The chief thinks he doesn't know what's going on around the Intersecting Space lately. The woman calls to the chief and asks about tonight's party. The chief orders he has to call it off, because it happened again just like last time, so they won't be able to have a party for a while. The woman to the manager and orders he may cancel the dinner party, because the chief says it's an emergency. The manager says someone that they're canceling the party tonight. Someone says they can't cancel the party now because if he can't pay them for the drugs for the party he put on his tab last time and for the ones today. A man calls to the member that they say it might take some time to make the payment. The member angry and says they should be grateful that they gave their merch at that price, and they can't even pay that, so they going to think their rule is a joke. The member says he'll just take out all their batches from today's work bench. The member sees a henchman who's watching porn, and he orders he should watch his post while he's out. A henchman and another henchman talk that especially the pretty Devas like Agnes only hang out with the nobles. Suddenly, a henchman says he wants to hold a service like nobles himself. Another henchman stops a henchman. A henchman says he's only trying to show his devotion to Madonna here, and Agnes shouldn't discriminate if she's a Deva, and for the next hour, they're the only ones here, and they can finish that service and the cleanup afterwards in one hour, and if she feels so ashamed to have held a service with a commoner, she'll keep her mouth shut, and so should another henchman. The person takes off its mask. The person is Abigail from the universe thirteen. Abigail thinks it's time to return to Agnes. This huge butterfly effect occurs. It means the Duke broke his calculator because the calculate is error.
The person says the one henchman that, he has heard of the White Police Guards before. The one henchman says just the Duke's name of his profile, but that's about it, and people care less about their names these days. The Duke's entourage thinks he knows that he swore his allegiance to him, but a vigilante army of a thousand Quanxs are too much, so maybe he's too rich to grasp just how many a thousand really is. The White Police Guards is top notch working environment that no one can turn down on, but the people who're the top level Hyper-Quanx, they can't hired because of lack something crucial. The spacecraft is arrives. The Duke's entourage says if worse comes to worst, he can maybe handle around three hundred of the Thousand Men on his own, sure, but a thousand isn't.
The Duke and his entourage, Lot arrive the mansion, and he asks let him see Agnes' first before they discuss any further. Agnes is shock-headed, her clothes is forcibly torn, and she's cries. Lot says to a centurion that he likes his black suit. A centurion says he could've been in the same white uniform too, if things hadn't turned out the way it did, but now that he sees it he's glad that he didn't. The Duke surprised to see this, and he's anger. The Duke hugs to Agnes and says he's sorry to keep her waiting so long and he has a payment to make.
Lot says he knows right and white suits can be so inconvenient sometimes. The Duke orders Lot that he should go find the prick who'll receive the paycheck, and get rid of all these goons on his way out. A henchman angry but Lot squeezes his arm into his body. Lot says all because the suit is white so it's messy so it's gonna leave a stain. He grabs the two centurions' heads and keeps them from moving. Lot says what they just saw might look simple, but it's a combination of not one, not two, but three Quanx skills. Lot reads two centurions' memories so he checks out here's king, and he says both their memories are identical, and there's one good thing about a white suit is even when they're slacking off, they always look so busy. Lot squeezes two centurions' heads into their body so kills them. In the harem, the king of here is naked body, and he sees Lot and forcibly teleported with him. The Duke says the king of here can get on his feet and they're here with his money. The king of here covers himself with his towel. The Duke says he'll pay the king of here right now so he can open the account for the transfer. The Duke takes out one of his five accounts and begins to send money. The king of here apologizes to this mishap and the Duke accepts. The king of here likes the Duke's attitude, so he says he swear on his name that he'll receive the best hospitality, and he asks they go get themselves a drink. The Duke rejects because he doesn't has time for that. The king of here surprised because the Duke's account isn't stop. The money is 10000000000000000000, it means ten quintillion. The king of here says this is way over what he had in mind and the Duke must really care about Agnes so he asks he just forget the whole thing because this whole ransom was all just a ruse.
The Duke becomes stony-faced and says the king of here dare think he'd let him buy off Agnes with money, and this is the price for his whole planet.
In 1. A.E. (2) - Ch.495, a hologram with white 100 on the orange background is appears in front of Federick's face. Federick says to El that the Duke summoned him so he'll be back soon, and it seems he's on here, and he teleports. El grabs Hazz by the collar and says Federick goes away whenever the Duke wants him so it's not security because he doesn't feel safe at all. He says they've been through this already, and their goal is to build a relationship with the Duke. Hazz angry so he uses reverse arm-bar to El, and says he's lucky he's his master, otherwise, he'd has broken his arm.
The White Police Guards kill The Thousand Men, and they say that 'All clear'. The Director of Pax Industries surprised to see this, and asks to the Duke that did what the Causality Calculator have to say about this. The Duke breaks the Causality Calculator and answers that it's broken. A satellite robot just entered the planetary orbit. The Director of Pax Industries says the Duke said he would never expose the White Police Guards or its firepower out in the public, and now he have the entire universe eight as his mortal enemies. The Duke hangs out the phone and orders to Mayhen that, she should whatever she can for the doctor to help Agnes get better.
The Duke says the satellite is taking images of here right now. The Duke orders the White Police Guards that it's time to bring out the best of their abilities and complete the mission, and as for those of them who were stationed elsewhere, their masters will want to know why they were called in, so let them all know that they'll be streaming live from here, and once their mission is complete, they'll be the public enemy number one of the universe eight, and let's begin. The Duke says if they're going to do this, they might as well make it look like the merchandise Aorican used to sell here, so that the later generations of the universe eight would know too.
Hazz says El can ask the Duke for four more guards and they could say they need them to restore order around their establishment. El says they don't need that many anyway, Hazz says he knew he'd say that, so he already requested it on his behalf. El grabs him by the collar and shouts why he's making decisions on his own. Hazz calls El to cheapskate. At this time, Federick calls to El and reports that he thought he might be wondering why the Duke summoned him here, so he can allow him to show him what the White Police Guards doing here. Federick shows the live feed from the satellite orbiting here. El thinks what the White Police Guards up to, and he surprised to see this.
Kanu's Guardian priest reports that it looks like the White Police Guards details that were stationed elsewhere are streaming live so that the nobles they serve would all know what they're doing down here. Ran says the priest that this is the line of causality, and the Duke's tomfoolery shouldn't have taken place based on any calculation, and someone must've trespassed into the universe eight through the remaining Intersecting Space again.
And his or her actions, whatever it may have been, changed the Duke's decision either directly or indirectly, which led to the anomaly in causality, and aside from the fact that there's no way to stop the invasion from the other universes which could break the causality of this universe, there're certain invasions that can put Ran in harm's way due to the changing causalities. Ran says from another Intersecting Space in which the church can't get officially involved, there's not much the people can do, and it's his fatal flaw and they'll be busy cleaning up afterwards. Ran thinks, and he prophesies the Duke will be brought to trial under the U.C.S. rules, meanwhile, his deal with the church will come to fruition and his family will be feared by the entire universe eight, and Kitten must kill him before the verdict is delivered and cover it up as a suicide so that his son Gosan won't hold a grudge against them of this universe, and if by any chance he does hold them accountable, that will ruin them all, and he'll probably try to hide his identity forever for what his father's done. Ran is curious that who was it that crossed over to the universe eight.
Scar face sees the news of here and doubts somebody did hack into their system or something.
Kanu reports to the Manager Bishop of what had happened so far. The Manager Bishop says the Duke have a top secret, and he killed the Head Bishop, and he done something to here but the church need him so they need to get the consent from the archbishops and get him aboard the courier business so she'll meet him set up a meeting. Kanu asks how will the Manager Bishop convince the other archbishops. The Manager Bishop answers that, it's the money problem so the U.C.S. will be the judge of the Duke's action, and he's getting a death sentence, but then again, he'll gather the best lawyers in the entire universe, he'll somehow reduce his sentence, but he'll still be behind bars. The Manager Bishop explains, with the Duke out of the picture, his vast fortune will be all the remains, she'll propose to those archbishops to share the leftover fortune, and then she'll use him who just loves the spotlight as a scapegoat for the U.C.S. should a problem arise, the church can blame him, these two will be more than enough to get their consent. The Manager Bishop says if things go according to Ran's calculation, it'll be perfect, but it's not that big of a deal if the calculation doesn't match, it's his problem, not theirs, and she's pretty sure he's already finished his calculation by now and started making his moves for the benefit of the church. The Manager Bishop thinks the White Police Guards is the firepower of guards owned by one man, and the church should prepare something too, otherwise, they'll be outmatched.
At the night, the Duke is eating dinner, and another people don't eat. Dr. Kitten recalls Madonna's words. Madonna said he wants Kitten to kill the Duke personally, and he'll get back to him with the execution date. Kitten says he was thinking perhaps it'd be best if the Duke had let them clean up this mess and go on a trip to another planet until things quiet down a bit. The Duke says he just came back from here. Mayhen reports the new messages. Mayhen reports the U.C.S. has announced that they'll soon dispatch an investigative team to get to the bottom of this incident, and for some reason, the nobles under their protection continue to ask them for more White Police Guards. The Duke sees the messages, and he says the nobles all made their requests after their little show on here, so these imbeciles won't believe it until they see it for themselves. Mayhen reports the Count El also sent a message. The Duke says El's request had nothing to do with the incident, so he really like his attitude when he starting with the halidom from the church. The Duke orders that Mayhen should send more White Police Guards for El and no one else and ignore the rest. That means El's butler, Hazz is right.
In Chapter 2 2. A.E. (5), the U.C.S. and the Patron alliance after witnessing all the atrocities that took place on here they felt scary to the terror, because it showed how far the Duke can go for the White Police Guards, and the firepower demonstrated by his private army was shocking to say the least, and it was more than enough to strike fear in the most powerful men in the universe eight, during his trial, had it not been for his alleged suicide, he would've been the center of attention around the entire universe just he wanted. At that time, the Duke have been private worshiped by Deva, and his poisoned corpse was found by Director of Pax Industries. After discussing the matter with the Patron alliance, the U.C.S. came to three decisions, first, any data spread across the universe eight regarding here, either direct or indirect, shall be deleted, and they say this was only possible because the planet was a safe haven, and they were worried about the influence that here's precedent might have on the other terrorist cells, and should any record of the incident remain, they were certain that a planet-wise uprising will take place that exceeds what happened in the planet. Second, the White Police Guards is to be disbanded immediately, but then of course, those security details laundered their identity and scattered away long before the U.C.S. verdict, last but not least, they held young Gosan, the Duke's heir, responsible, and he's fined a ludicrous amount of money for what his father had done, apparently, they wanted to dismantle his family for good, and although it may seem it work, but more people than ever are lining up to make a connection with the Gosan family, and with his recent business expansion, he was able to pay off the fine in less than three years, and Duke Gosan grew up to be the most influential man in the universe eight just as the Duke wished, and after his father's death, he kept himself hidden for safety reasons, so no one knows what he looks like. Although there're some nobles presumed to be Gosan, but it's a speculation at best, and there're even rumors going around that the real Gosan died years ago and the one they've right now is only his doubles, in short, only a handful of people know who he's.
Current time[]
In Chapter 2 2. A.E. (5), Denma and Quai see here. On Quai's forehead, 難 is written, and it means difficult. Maybe here's shape is difficult. Denma sees a hologram and says here used to look like this. Denma asks to Cell that how can a planet remain in that state for over twenty years, and is that possible.
Cell says currently, there're dozens of Quanx abilities delicately put together, which delicately form what appears to be a planet in front of them, and that is the proof that the White Police Guards which is the Duke left Gosan never disbanded, and rather, it still exists to this day. At this time, Cell thinks she feeding Denma too much information, but if she was, then Yahwah will terminate her. Denma asks to Cell that why did the White Police Guards have to shape the planet like that. Cell answers right before the attack, the Duke ordered the White Police Guards to build it like this. The Duke said if they're going to do this, they might as well make it look like the merchandise Aorican used to sell here, so that the later generations of the universe eight would know too. Denma asks so this place used to sell hourglasses or something. Cell answers but it's not an actual hourglass, and Aorican sold drugs called the Hourglass. Here's shaped like an Hourglass.
In Kuan's Fridge (31), A police officer finds a box and sees something, and asks the other police officer that he can hand over one. A police officer puts a white liquid in the water. The other police officer says he has never seen one with such a thin waistline before. A police officer says that it's not one of those cheapos out there these days, and this is the Golden Hourglass he has only heard stories about. A police officer explains that the Golden Hourglass is a top grade product from a drug planet that went missing 20 years ago, and they only gave these out to the top elites of the universe eight. The other police officer tries to search Hourglass in network, but the firewall the U.C.S. set up won't allow him to look into it. A police officer says a guy he knows from narcotics told him what's looked up in this fridge, and he said they've something to do with an incident U.C.S. erased from every data box in this universe, and apparently, the crazy noble mobilized his own Quanx vigilante to wipe that drug planet off the map, and the story goes that some of the Quanxs smuggled out tons of drugs before blowing the place to the smithereens, and according to the rumors that went around in the Underground market for a while, it was enough drugs to buy a whole planet and then some. The other police officer says if all these boxes carry goodies like this, he can see why rumors like that started.
Sumai calls to Marvin who's holds his thermos lid, and says that he tried to steal drugs, so he could pay back the money, but a police inspector who has him at the palm of her hand took the initiative, and he says with here gone, those drugs belong to whoever gets the first, their worth is enough to buy a whole planet, what he's saying is that he can take the drug, and let him cash them out without any trouble. Marvin shouts that Master Hazz would never allows the drug to this. Sumai says this is a reliable message from those who were exiled from Moab, and it's not any normal quality or quantity he's talking about here, and what's inside are the Hourglasses. Marvin tells it to Mayhen, and it means that he's a spy of the Gosan family. Mayhen reports it to the Director of Pax Industries. The Director of Pax Industries runs to Gosan's room. Gosan sits to chair and calculates to his Causality Calculator, and Mayhen is next to him. The Director of Pax Industries reconfirms to Gosan that those are the drugs from here. Gosan says it seems that way. The Director of Pax Industries asks that what Gosan is calculating now, and he answers just this and that. The Director of Pax Industries says if they really are the products from here, then the rumor that a few members of the White Police Guards smuggled out a huge quantity of drugs was true. Gosan stands up and says he's going to get those products back. The Director of Pax Industries says they're drugs, and he asks that why the Gosan family would want to get their hands on that. Gosan says if they really are products of here, then the Duke bought them with his money 20 years ago, so obviously, they're the Gosan family's to claim.
A device which is with a box, it makes a sound, and Glyph of forehead and White man find drugs and say that it looks like a cheese stick but it's a liquid, and these are drugs those retired White Police Guards smuggled during this incident.
Green guy asks to Glyph of forehead and White man that where they're stationed at and who sent him. White man answers it concerns the protocol and they're not liberty to say. Shaved ice seller whispers that did why it have to be the White Police Guards. Crescent moon whispers that they've nothing to do with them anymore so let's just do what they always do and find out who gave them the order. Glyph of forehead whispers that this isn't looking good, and White man whispers let's head back. Glyph of forehead and White man try to teleport, and Shaved ice seller grabs Glyph of forehead by the collar.
Shaved ice seller says Federick tried to keep them in check since here. White man shows to Federick that the memories which is what happened so far. Federick sees drugs, and says now he remember, and the drugs that supposedly disappeared during this incident, there were rumors going around, and he should've known OBs were behind it. Shaved ice seller says Federick don't know the whole story so he doesn't judge them with what little he knows.
The Director of Pax Industries says the El's have decided to buy off all the old White Police Guards. Gosan says it's good, and that way, it'll be easier when they put all those bastards in one spot. The Director of Pax Industries says Gosan is out of his mind, because he tries to hand the old White Police Guards over to the El's, and they're Duke's White Police Guards who'd the power to blow up an entire planet. Gosan says that's right, twenty years ago, now the old White Police Guards is just miserable scums filled with boredom and gambling addiction. The Director of Pax Industries says Gosan can call the old White Police Guards all in, and they'll regroup, but he says he'll wipe them off, and he'll show them how the dogs that couldn't protect their master end up.
Trivia[]
- The word Aorica refers to the AfreecaTV (아프리카TV, Apeurikatibi), which is a technology-based video streaming service in South Korea. It means short for "Any FREE broadCasting". The meaning of this is related to the development of the story. Because the White Police Guards turn this planet into something and the Duke made this to streaming live to the entire universe.
