"Right…"
Joren stopped in his tracks and faced his fear head-on. What a brave man.
"I called ya out here to tell ya sum smart words."
'You an, wise words….'
"Enlighten , Gangsta God." Joren respectfully said.
"Haha, funny guy." the man laughed as the edge of his lips curled up a little, "B'fore sum smart words, how's life doing, man?"
'He's asking that?'
It was out of nowhere.
"Feels a little rush, but I'm all in for it." Joren honestly replied.
The man on the throne comfortably leaned back as he crossed his legs, finally covering up the obscenity, making Joren sigh in relief.
"Found any problem along d'way?"
"There's this God who's been lusting on my woman. I'm actually on my way to Calot."
The man slowly nodded, "In a man's life; money, power, and won are the most important, doncha think?"
Joren raised an eyebrow, "Yes,"
"But, for ya, what's d'most important?"
The man asked with an expectant and smug smile.
"Power" Joren didn't have to think twice. That was the first thing that ca into his mind.
"Gotcha, so here's sum smart words from yo Gangsta God."
A mic materialized in the man's hand as a beat ca out of nowhere.
Joren looked around as the lights turned colorful, as if they were at a party. He knew what was coming.
The man then spoke along with the beat, and with fast words, he continued.
Joren frowned as he noticed his foot was tapping onto the floor.
A nerve suddenly popped out of Joren's forehead. He should've expected an insult there.
'Is he… picking a fight?'
Joren glanced at the fish fangirling the man. However, he couldn't deny that those were sweet rhys as well.
'I don't know where are the 'smart' words from there, but it's good.'
Joren then clapped while acknowledging the man's rap.
"Now, ya tellin' , ya defeated Cerberus, man?"
Finally, there's the suspicion. Joren had also expected this when the rap turned against him. How can a laughingstock like him defeat an immortal beast?
"Yes," Joren simply answered.
"How?"
The man's face went from chilled to serious.
"With the System and the gun."
"Still… giving ya these stats too much. Yu'll overload."
"I think I can withstand it." Joren said, not knowing why this man doubted him when he had already reached five digits in Toughness.
'Or, wait…'
"Gangsta God, have you seen my stats yet?"
"Yup, but don't worry. It'll get fixed right away, man."
Hearing this, Joren restrained his laughter.
"It's not broken, though."
"What'd ya an? It's clearly broken. Stats say ya have ten thousand toughness out of nowhere. Tell that's not broken."
At this mont, the fish entered the conversation.
The fish asked itself, but there's nothing it can do from then on and just disappeared when a knock could be heard in front of the door.
Joren suddenly felt deja vu.
He stood up and opened the door to see who was there.
'Who's this handso man?'
They both asked themselves. A tall suave blonde man was standing in front Joren, thinking if he knocked on the right door.
"Who're you?" Joren asked with drunken tone.
"Sorry, I must've knocked on the wrong door."
The blonde man apologize but seeing the number again, he returned.
"Are you Joren?"
The blonde man asked the wobbling man.
"Joren?" Joren looked around first before realizing who he was, "Ah, yes, it's , Joren."
"W-what happened to you? So this is what you look like when your face is relaxed." the blonde man licked his lips.
"Sorry, not into that…" Joren waved his hand before asking again, "Who're you?"
"It's , Jack. This is my human form. I'm a faculty mber of the Myth Academy, of course, I have my human form."
"I-is that so…" for so reason, Joren couldn't doubt that this was indeed Jack, "Co on in."
"Oh, I'm the only one here? Where's the woman with you?"
"She's… she's sleeping."
'Is he drunk?' Jack's smile widened.
Kidrith, who was peacefully sleeping earlier, had her eyes opened wide. The danger she was feeling completely woke her up.
'Joren!'
She sat up and could hear two voices. She was unfamiliar with both. After all, she haven't heard Joren's voice while intoxicated.
At the living room, Jack stopped Joren from serving him tea after dropping the fourth cup.
"Why don't you just sit here and wait?"
Joren nodded and dropped onto the couch with a daze look.. He was completely out of himself.
