Hunters Royale

I'm Level What?!

Jin's vision escalated as it shifted... It shifted from Toby's appalled face, met the LED tube lights on the ceiling, and ultimately rolled back into darkness as a huge spurt of pain burst behind his head. 

.....

"Nooooooo!!!!!!" 

Jonathan was yelling beside him when Jin's eyes fluttered open. His vision was still in its listless advance as he only saw a blur of a figure beside him. 

"Jonathan... I am okay" 

Jin uttered, he did not prefer to be the spur of concern for his pals.  

"SHUT UP!! FUCKER!!" 

"Eh" 

"YOU FRIGGIN BROKE THE URINAL... HOW ARE WE GONNA PAY FOR THIS?"

"EH!!??"

Jin's face contorted as his eyes came upon the shattered piece of the urinal that Jonathan pointed towards. 

"Was I the only one who got stunned by his cry?? Like what the fuck? My head here almost broke open and he's blaming me for the motherfucking urinal??..." 

Jin bellowed at Toby who was beside him, leaning on his knees and gawking at him in shock.

"Bruh seriously?? For the friggin urinal??"

Jin ignored Toby's stupid gawk and swerved towards his stupid friend Jonathan. 

"Hm??" 

Jonathan whirled scantily to his left towards Jin, barely making any effort to look at his fallen friend.

"Don't Hmm me Jackass, I'll slam Toby on you"

Jin roared with his fingers crossed and edged towards Toby.

"Wait what did I do??" 

Toby sprang back, his voice faltering with alarm. 

"Shut up!!" 

Jin retorted. 

"Okay... whatever..." 

said Toby with his shoulders shrugging in approval.

"It isn't like Level 10 here could do anything better"

The toilet fell pin drop silent for a whole minute which seemed like an eternity. 

"Just because I'm Level 10 doesn't mean you can look down on me Toby" 

His head slowly elevated its way towards Toby who was leaning against the wall. 

"I've been making an effort to say this to you guys for some time... But now?... it's truly over the utmost I can bear." 

Jonathan shifted his gaze from friend to friend, Jin to Toby.

"I am *breathes* in reality... Level twenty-fi..." 

What Jin might have insinuated to announce was twenty-five, but his dialogue was abruptly cut off by what seemed like an electronic snag that summoned his status window through his irises, shooting out and gloating to the stupefied trio.

"Level twenty-five... *Gasp*"

Jin's eyes were the first to stretch wide as he witnessed the miraculous sight unfold before his eyes... No!!. THE SIGHT WAS THROUGH HIS EYES, THROUGH HIS SYSTEM!!

"What's... this... Jin??!!"

Jonathan had his jaw hanging when he peered at the status window before him. 

Toby shook his friend's shoulders violently after he lunged for them. His eyes were glued to the status window screen which dangled in the air like a piece of loose advertisement posters which hung from electric posts.

[Finally, you found me, my trusted adherent!!] 

The familiar electrical voice of his system echoed inside Jin's psyche, but the way it spoke didn't seem too right to him. 

Finally??... Found me??... Found whom!!?... and trusted adherent??? What the fuck was his system talking about?. The element of surprises in his occasion of slipping was turning out to be a bit too complicated for Jin as he started wandering into his world of thoughts while his friends yowled and slapped at him. 

[Hm?? What's with my voice??]

[EHEM...ERHEMMMMM] 

*Cracks and Radiates*

[Ahh... Better]

The unnatural electronic tone perished as another voice that was deep and husky took its spot.

[Wait!! For the love of hell!! Where am I??. What's with this luminous shrouding??]

The mysterious voice grumbled as it scanned the toilet walls through Jin's vision frame. 

Little did he know the person it was inside would meet it in a minute. 

[Where's my trusted adherent??]

The lights around its vision started fading away. 

It was then that the mysterious surprise and the huge impact made an actual repercussion on Jin.

It ostensively made Jin faint. 

[Aah it's darker, I feel a lot better]

.....

"Students... Meet Mrs. Gloria, she'll be enlighting us about the rumored demons and demon systems"

"Flashbacks??"

Jin mumbled as his eyes gradually unlocked. He was wafting in what seemed like stagnant water. It would've been strangely better to say that he was collapsing rather than wafting. Though he was inside the water, he could still breathe.

"I remember her... wasn't she someone from the church council??"

"Thank you for the introduction. My name is Gloria and it's nice to meet you all!!!. I have been involved in deliverance ministry for several years and have ministered alongside my husband as well as at times by myself to numerous people." 

"I have learned that you never stop learning about the enemy, and how it works in the lives of every single person on Bounton. It is the Holy Spirit that must give you discernment on how to battle the enemy of our souls. In my experience, most people do not want to know about demons. They do not want to even know that they may exist. This is a problem in the arena of spiritual warfare. You can not fight an enemy that you do not believe exists."

"People do not believe that demons exist because the god of this world has blinded, blocked, and hidden the truth in the minds of unbelievers. Scripture tells us plainly that the god of this world is Satan. He is roaming the world even now, seeking whom he can devour."

"To understand and battle the enemy you have to at the very least first acknowledge that Demons exist. However, we have come to know that the enemy has influenced the minds of unbelievers. In my opinion, this is strategic to keep people bound and unable to walk in freedom."

*Snap*

[Oi Brat??. Wake up... Tell me who you are... and which planet am I in?]

A deep and shaggy voice echoed behind him as Jin yet again opened his eyes to pitch darkness. 'What's going on??' he thought as he slowly stopped his wobbling vision from falling off to another flashback.  

[Oi..Oi.Oi]

Jin's body unhurriedly swiveled along with his trembling vision. 

[Fill in the blanks brat!]

"Aaa...Aaaaaaa...AAAAAAAA"

"Mon-... MONSTER!!!!!!!" 

Jin's face twisted into bends as it conveyed terror and dismay, both on his face and inside his trembling eyes. 

Standing tall, almost 3 meters and in front of him, was a red skinned monster bearing two robust horns which twisted vertically and spiraled at its peak on its forehead. 

[Ah... So this is how you perceive me? Not gonna lie, it's pretty remarkable. Look at these horns!] 

The monster said as he looked up at the horns and held them with his muscular hands. 

"......"

The monster who was smirking looked down at Jin, whose face was still twisted in terror.

[Ah, Kid, I'll introduce myself...]

The smirk that the monster carried widened as he shot his eyes onto Jin's terrified irises. 

[I am The Demon Lord] 

*SLAP* 

"Spat... rppffht" 

Jin spat back to existence as his cheeks felt seasoned from Jonathan's mighty slap. 

He frantically looked around, striving to catch the demon peeking at him from the corners. But to his surprise, there was no one. He caught sight of the broken urinal which played its part in striking Jin's memory about his fall to condemn. 

He finally shook his head and smiled. He was happy, he felt delighted that he snapped out of the terrifying delusion. 

"Thank god, it was such a nightmare... huffff" 

He stroked his head and sprinted his hand behind, scouring for the lump inflicted by the massive impact of the urinal. 

GULP!!. 

His hands shivered as he frantically continued to press down his head in disbelief. There was no pain... No lump... But the magnitude of his plunge on the marble was...

"Now tell me Jin..."

queried Toby's quivering voice. 

"Why are you... level 666?"
