Chapter 5 - Friendship

Jouro waking up, slowly opening his eyes.

"Huh? Where am I?"

As he is laying down he sees a young man right next to him

"Oh, you woke up. My name's Zapinn, a Lightning User."

Jouro is surprised

"How did you get In here!?"

Zapinn tilts his head with a confused look on his face and starts thinking, he thinks for some time

"Well that I don't remember, all I remember was a voice telling me that I'm a bug, not very nice."

Jouro now looking relieved

"Oh I see, the same thing happened to me, I'm Jouro, 12 years old."

"Oh ho, looks like were the same age."

Both start laughing.

'Hmm? His stats....'

'He is level 131, but surprisingly weak. What does this mean? I'm only level 20, yet my stats are tens of times better.'

[It is because you are special, Jouro ???]

"What was that? I couldn't understand you."

[Jouro ???]

"Tch.. this isn't going anywhere."

Zapinn is staring at Jouro like he is crazy, Jouro gets angry and starts yelling

"What are you staring at??"

Zapinn remembers

"Ohhhh, I forgot about the system, totally my bad hehe."

[Notice: You have gotten a message from your father, Marius Thor. Open or Delete?]

"Oh uh.. open."

[Notice: Message has been openend]

[Marius Thor: Son, where the hell are you, my Lightning Wolf can't find you, and there is this crazy incident going on. I hope you're safe.]

[Notice: Reply?]

"Yes, reply with: I'm safe, but I do not know where I am, It's a Blue-Black void type of thing with a lot of trees and beasts, I'll be fine with the beasts but I do not know how to get out of here."

[Notice: Message sent to Marius Thor.]

[Notice: Marius Thor has seen your message.]

[Notice: New Message from Marius Thor: Damn it. Don't worry, we will get you back soon.]

[Notice: Marius Thor has ended the conversation.]

Jouro looks over with a smile

"Crazy family huh?"

Zapinn chuckles

"Of course, what about you?"

Jouro chuckles aswell

"Don't even get me started."

Jouro gets up and looks down at the beasts

"Well now, shall we get started?"

Zapinn gets up too

"You read my mind."

***

The voice of a man while waving his hand from afar in a buisness man suit, with nice orange hair and an earring and sunglasses

"Hey there! Wait up Mr.Aras."

Garu Aras looks over to his left where the man is

"What do you need, Mr.Sho?"

Sho out of breath panting

Sho starts calming down

Garu Aras gets annoyed

"Well? What is it that you need?"

Sho finally starts speaking

"Well *huff* *huff* *huff* the 5 Colors are *huff* *huff* *huff* all fighting in Grace city, and there are these huge beasts outside of voids, I don't know what is even going on anymore. We need your help defeating the ones that appeared here."

Garu Aras tilts his head up with a scared look

then slowly looks down and starts looking gloomy

"Well then, I guess this is the end for me too."

Sho is surprised and his sunglasses fall off

"S-S-Sir. You can't be serious, please help us, we are desperate."

An unknown man shows up behind Garu Aras, a 10 foot tall buff man with golden armour and a brown-ish beard, brown stylish hair and a gold hammer imbued with the Stone "Furtuna".

'This must be...'

Sho gets a bright smile on his face and star-like eyes

"Color-Rank Lightning User and Current "King", Marius Thor!"

"Hah! Why yes, I'm happy that you recognize me, anyways, shall we get started?"

Thor looks up and sees multiple ogre-like beasts

Thor starts smiliing

"Electrocuteazai, Electricitate!"

***

As Jouro and Zapinn swing their swords they yell

"HAAAAAAA!"

*slash* *slice* *zap* *zap*

[You have killed 30 Mid-White-Rank beasts]

[Notice: You have killed 1 Mid-White-Rank beasts]

Jouro and Zapinn both look over to eachother and start smiling

"Wow, you're much better than I expected, Jouro, I'm surprised that I'm only able to kill one with 50 shots, aren't these supposed to be Mid-White-Ranks?"

Jouro looks at the distant ceiling

"This is a Hidden Void, I'm pretty sure the beasts ranks here are different, a Mid-White-Rank here classifies as a Mid-Gray-Rank in normal voids."

Zapinn looks schocked

"A-And you can take them down with one shot?? You're super strong, are you one of the worlds 20 Color-Ranks? And If so are you going by an alias?"

Jouro looks back at Zapinn

"Nah, I'm pretty unknown, and I do not wish to tell my rank."

"Understandable, anyways, you said something about a Hidden Void, wasn't that the place where The Master of Fire went?"

"Yeah, that's the place. Anyways, check quest."

[Quest Advancements: 46/100]

"I've got a long way to go."
