Chapter 18

"Of course I do." He said with a look that also says 'No way, I bet I'm stronger'.

I just shook my head knowing that I have to get through this year with the both of them being like this. I'm the moderator within us three, the one who always look out for them whenever they do shitty things, and the one who always get in trouble trying to make up for their mistakes. I'm the youngest yet I'm the most matured.

"Anyways, when did you start playing?" I asked.

"Just a week ago, too bad I didn't get to play yesterday as I was busy preparing to move here." He answered.

"What?" John asked with shock in his face, that means he's stronger than us.  We've only been playing like 2 or 3 days ago and I think John realized that.

"Why? When did you guys start?" He asked curiously.

"About 2 or 3 days ago?" John said like he's asking himself.

"2 days, we've started last Friday night." I answered.

"Yeah." John said agreeing.

"So your levels aren't that high 'cause you guys just started recently." He said

"About that." I said scratching the back of my head.

"What?" He asked.

"A high leveled player helped us on our first day so we got a headstart." John said proudly.

"So what level are you guys now then?"

"I'm level 57." I said.

"Same here." John said as he raise his right hand.

"What? That's so unfair! I've been grinding solo like crazy for a week now and you guys just started 2 days ago and you're level 57? I'm level 62 but that's still way unfair" He said as he was pouting, how cute James, how cute.

"I guess we just got lucky." I said.

"Super lucky." John said as he winks at James, does he really have to tease him?

"Well at least I still have a higher level than you guys, I can accept that, I guess." He said with doubt in his voice.

After that John went to wash the dishes. I went straight to my room to prepare because I'll be going to church and attend the last mass. Good thing that there's a maintenance today because I don't wanna ruin ny routine, I always go and attend the mass on Sundays and I don't want to miss it.

"Jack?" James asked as he knocks on the door.

"Yes?" I asked.

"You're going to church are you? Can you please buy me something when you get back?" He asked again.

"Yes and of course." I said.

"Thanks, I'll meet you downstairs." He said as I hear footsteps going down the stairs.

I wore a red polo tucked in my black pants, I don't really like dressing up that much but whenever I go out, I make sure that I look decent and good. Anyways, I found John and James talking about games when I went down. James told me to buy him things for hygiene as he forgot his, he just found out a while ago.

"I woke up late and Mom was panicking because I might miss the bus so I forgot." He said as he laugh at himself, really? He just told me later that both of us would wake John up just in case but it turns out that he's a sleepyhead too.

I bid them goodbye and went straight to the church. Mass went as it used to and so I went to the closest pharmacy to buy the things James told me to buy.

"I still don't feel like going home." I whispered to myself as I will myself to go for a walk and go wherever my feet would take me.

As I was walking, I run into a coffee shop. I thought of having some coffee and so I went inside to drink. I spent a good 1 hour just sitting and sipping coffee, I only realized the time when I received a message from John asking me where I was. I hurried home and gave James what he told me to buy and went straight to my room.

"Yo Jake?" James asked as he knocks at the door.

"Yes?" I said as I open the door.

"Come on down, it's lunch already. Don't say anything else, I understand, but please eat." He said with worry in his eyes. Why do you have to be like this?

"I'll eat later, promise. Just need to rest for a while." I said as I assure him.

"Good, I'll punch you if you don't. You know me, I'll do it." He said as he motion his hands as if to punch me but did end up hitting me.

"Ouch." I said acting hurt.

We both laugh at that and I told him again I would eat later, with that he went downstairs and I went back to my bed to take a nap.

James woke me up quarter to 6PM. I overslept, but I guess I needed it and I know they too understands why. I went down to eat and I heard them talking about the game.

"Hey Jack, there's this new Spirit thing added to the game." John said

"Yeah, it's like a Pet and an Animus but it's on a different level than a Pet and a little like Animus." James said.

"I think I read about that last night but I was sleepy so I didn't digest all the informations I've read." I said as I eat.

"Well anyways, do you have a Pet or an Animus Jack? Well, this one here is boasting me he's got Poseidon." James said as he points John. John held his head up high and grinned as if he's like the strongest of all.

"I have none. How about you?" I asked him.

"You'll find out later." He said as he smiles devilishly just like John. I just can't with this two.

I continued eating and just let them boast to each other. I went to wash my plate to the kitchen after finishing my food. I was going to my room but as I walk out of the kitchen, to my surprise, both of them already have their VRHL on hand and also mine.

"Come on, let's dive in." Both of them said in excitement.
