As I turned around I simply smiled at my friends, both Lakir and Jordan with mocking smiles where just standing there.
Lakir was a tall Afro American he had blue eyes and had black short hair his attire consisted of simply a pair of black boots with blue jeans and a simple T-shirt he is one of my first and best friends I have meet throughout the years he always carried a tired expression till he got into combat or got invested on a game mission simply as said he was a happy go lucky guy allthought he sometimes suffered from stress and depression he was the kind of guy who always took care of his friends and was honestly one of the people who kept the morals up whenever we were all down. We formed our little squad he was one of the first members to join in.
Well.. I call it a squad but its more of just a Gamin club we had that focused on playing the iterations of Deva's games, in the end most of the time we got our asses kick out of us, this game was mostly made just for slayers to train in scot free from danger, but as the games kept improving and adding features for normal people we got better and better at what we did, even thought we couldn't truly do much at big events or fight true slayers that were more than just show offs like that kid there, we managed to create some sort of.. weird synergy with our combat styles, as we weren't true slayers we couldn't get stronger, we could get better at what we did and our make our own skills around our Deva's path but our stats were mostly fixed, only our mind stats could increase and it was extremely difficult for it to do so, so we just made plans after plans, that mostly suicidal and stupid move of throwing your weapon at a enemy was actually a plan we got the idea from one time Rokuro had a ''accident'' that he just threw his axes and just randomly killed one of us in one of many skirmishes.
In the end we didn't actually had a perfect fit for our team comp but after spending so much time together we grew accustomed to each other and we became actually strong, we gained a little bit of a name as the group of misfit mortals that somehow through cheese strategies and weird plans tended to win.
I turned to Jordan I simply smiled with a satisfied grin
''Of course it is going to bite me in the ass, Look at me I'm going to be hunted by a dumb rich kid that probably got his D.A from his parents on Christmas, Im so scared!'' I said at that moment I was just joking, and well, take it from me kid if someone swears revenge on you, maybe give it a second thought, or you might regret it, all thought I still don't.
Jordan laughed and just shrugged ''True that fuck It who cares, you beated a slayer hahaha'' he smirked and said ''we should celebrate it hahaha''
Jordan was a mix of Asian heritage and American his family was simply from America but he had cousins from Asia never bothered to ask were from truly but he had the eyes and facial features, he had brown hair and had brown eyes, he wore a hoodie and jeans as well as a T-shirt, we all tended to wear our normal clothes the game allowed for you to use armor or just ''dress'' like a fantasy game, but in the end the armor was normally useless and just wore you down and it just felt embarrassing to dress like a warrior brought out from a random final fontsy Game, I personally loved the 7 one, if they even exist when you found this, I surely hope it does.. if not all faith in humanity will be lost for me.. Anyways **ahem**
Jordan was a simple guy, he saw something he wanted he'd go get it, he hated some one he'd say it he is one of the most hard working but also a bit of a perfectionist, it made it a bit of a problem some times but he was one of the most reliable in combat, he did love to go on Game missions to temper himself, doing these missions always taught us how to work better haha, it made us work in so many different ways just to make it work, we just kept on improving our skill even if our bodies didn't at that time. In the end he was a direct guy a true go getter and a loyal friend.
''well what are your plans on that should we celebrate with?'' I said excited and I already had quite the idea of what he was thinking off It had been a while at least.
Lakir just simply smiled and nodded ''I know what you guys want to do..im in''
''then it settled then'' Jordan said quickly contacting the group to meet up
''rokuro and dante should be done by now'' Jordan remarked
I shrugged at this and walked towards Jordan as I said ''so, it's the whole crew on or?''
Lakir shook his head as he seemed to be just taking in the scenery staring at the distance with curiousness in his eyes ''I think its just us four, also guys, heads up''
''then I guess we'll do our free for all like old times sake?'' as I laughed a bit free for alls was the thing we did always when we started a new Deva's game.
I quickly raised my gaze towards were lakir was looking at, 3 black robed figures were quickly approaching our way going directly towards were we were standing.
''Aw shit, here we go again'' said Jordan as he simply mused himself
'' I told you man.. this always happens when we leave you alone'' lakir was face palming and with a deep sigh his eyes stared at the robed figures with a slight glow of anticipation.
''damn right what is a game without enemies eh? It makes it all the more fun.'' With a smirk i took a step forward to meet these black robed people.
