Chat Room.

Leo was walking in the street while looking at the surrounding people.

After leaving the park Leo moved towards the busy street trying to find a nice cafe to sit down and look at this Chat Room.

Even if the Chat Room is important. Leo doesn't like to rush things, especially if they are something completely unknown like this Chat Room.

Why does it exist? Who created the Chat Room? Who the real owner? What's the purpose of it to gather characters from the multiverse and even giving Leo a powerful Longinus easily? And most importantly, why did it choose him from everyone? Honestly, Leo is both wary and confused from the Chat room.

Maybe it was just a joke from a powerful being or maybe someone just wanted to see something funny or... There's a big scheme in the middle and he's just a puppet being controlled.

Shaking his head left and right a few times, Leo stopped this thinking about things beyond his capabilities. Knowledge and information specially the deep ones are the privilege of the strong, which he doesn't have because of his weakness.

{It seems I have to just play along... I really hate when things become so mysterious} Leo frowned while looking at the people around.

Leo likes to observe the people around him and try to figure out what they are thinking. This always was a hobby of his which reflected in his nature that likes to calculate everything around him and prepare for it.

Which he still feeling uncomfortable in not knowing how did he arrive at this world.

Leo shook his head before feeling his neck itching because the spider monster he created is hiding in his uniform collar.

In this short walk, Leo checked his Longinus several times by connecting with it as he discovered a lot of things about it.

Leo can create any monster he wants and summoning it from any place in his body like he did with the spider even his shadow can count as a medium to summon.

Any monster Leo creates won't dissipate until his energy runs out or the monster got destroyed while he can store some monsters in a place like his shadow or even inside of his own body if he was creative enough.

The stronger the monster's ability be it physical with a giant size or mysterious like controlling flames, the more Leo needs to spend energy and time to create it. Leo in his walk created few butterflies without ability almost instantly while the spider took a few seconds because it was small and without a combat ability.

But even in that condition, Leo discovered a loophole. If the monsters had things that connect with Leo, the less energy and time it takes to create.

Like a living monster is easier than a dead monster because Leo is a living being.

{And this thinking about Annihilation Maker makes me wonder... Are there two of them now?} Leo remembered the Chat Room didn't tell him how he did get the Longinus.

If Leo has the Longinus now. Does that guy in the Hero Faction still have it? Or maybe there's two of them now? Is this a paradox? Leo questions started to accumulate rapidly without any way to answer them.

Noticing that he's thinking a lot again. Leo sighed before noticing a cafe in the distance.

Leo changed his direction before walking towards the cafe while observing the people around him.

Living peacefully without any worry, even if this world is a bomb that might explode at any time. And not ignoring the fact that they are the weakest party in the world.

{Ignorance is a bliss sometimes ...} Leo entered the cafe before walking towards a table.

Sitting down, Leo ordered a cup of coffee while taking his phone.

The waiter was surprised because of Leo's uniform and the fact he's here during this time, but he still took the order and left.

Leo didn't care about the waiter because he was looking at his phone now.

[Do you wish to connect the Chat Room to this device?]

This appeared the first moment after Leo took his phone, which gave him more understanding of the Chat Room. Like it can connect to different devices, but the limit is unknown for now.

{At least I'll not look like a madman looking at the air now} Leo choose yes as The Chat Room app appeared on his phone.

Leo clicked on the app as the same Chat Room appeared on his phone. But it has a few flashing icons.

[Please send the first invitation]

Leo looked at the message for a moment before turning his attention to his nickname in the Chat Room... Blackmail Admin.

Leo almost hit the screen before calming himself. And choosing options to change this nickname.

After a lot of turns, Leo finally found the option and changed his name to Annihilation Maker.

{Who'd use his true name in a suspicious Chat program} Leo nodded with satisfaction before checking a thing in the upper left corner called points.

[0 points]

[Points are the main currency of the Chat Room. Using points, the Chat members can buy some items from the Chat Room store or upgrade their abilities]

Leo nodded at the explanation before checking the store. It was completely empty without anything inside.

{Maybe it needs a condition to activate...} Leo tilted his head while thinking about possibilities.

Stopping the pointless thoughts. Leo choose abilities option before two options appeared in front of him.

[Overall body reinforcement. Stage 1... Cost: 1000 point]

[Annihilation Maker Balance Breaker... Cost: 9999456 point]

Leo's face twitched while looking at the long number of Balance Breaker.

{10 million... It was 10 million... Maybe because learning about my Longinus and activating it lowered the price} Leo remembered that Sacred gears respond to their user's desires and wishes.

Closing the ability window. Leo looked at an icon next to the points number before clicking on it.

[Daily Check-in: 42 point]

Leo looked at his points increased by 42 points.

{Daily lottery about points... The limit is 100, huh} Leo nodded as he fixed his glasses.

Leo understood from this that the Chat Room will have something like missions to let the members get points because using just the Check-in will take at least years to get enough points for upgrading.

After checking the Chat group a few more times, Leo glanced at the invitation screen that was flashing until now.

"...*Sigh*... Why can't I have a normal system?..." Leo muttered as he looked at the invitation button.

Leo hesitated for a while before reaching towards the button. Because he knows if he didn't do it this Chat group will force him at some point.

"Here goes nothing..." Leo clicked on the screen as the invitation disappeared.

[The admin sends the first pack of invitations and got 1000 points]

[5 invitations has been sent... Please wait until the new members arrive]

Leo glanced at his phone before closing it and leaning his back at the chair.

The waiter arrived at this moment as Leo took the coffee before sipping from it.

Leo closed his eyes. All the information and events today made him a bit tired, so he thought of taking a break before meeting these new members. Leo doesn't know if these members will be powerful or weak, but there's one thing for certain... He's walking to another unknown battlefield.

But before Leo finished his coffee, the phone started ringing. Picking his phone, Leo looked at the caller... It was his father.

{Shit... Act normal Leo. He doesn't know anything} Leo watched his phone ringing for a while to make it look like he was asking the teacher for permission.

Leo picked up the call and said "Hello Dad. Did something happen?" Leo tried to make his tone filled with concern in an attempt to trick his father.

The other side was silent for a while before Leo heard a familiar voice " Everything is okay Leo... How school" a few drops of sweat appeared on Leo's forehead.

{He usually... Never enters the subject directly} Leo calmed himself before replying "It's okay... But I need to leave because the teacher won't wait any longer".

"The teacher, huh... Leo, stop this. We know about it" Leo father said as Leo sighed.

"It was worth the shot... How did you know?" Leo surrendered before asking.

"It was your new school council president who told us" Leo clicked his tongue before he realized something." Did you just say, us?".

"About that... Leo, you know that I'm okay as long as you get good results but your mother..." Leo started to get paler by the second.

"...You better come fast, Leo... You are alone this time" the call hang up while Leo almost dropped his phone.

Leo stood up slowly from the table before dashing towards the Cafe exit.

"Hey! what ab-" the waiter wanted to stop Leo, but he got money thrown at his face before Leo rushed out of the Cafe.

Leo sprinted in the road towards his home without noticing his phone was ringing a few times.
