[5]. Unexpected encounter. ({[2]})

"Why!?. I told you its fine if you stay here its not bothering anyone!."

"I know, but the thing is I will be leaving pretty soon. Probably in seven months. And I need a bit of space to prepare. And you say that but I think your uncle has something else to say. I don't know what his deal is but he doesn't like me, I don't get and I don't know about you but I prefer to stay away from people like him."

"Where are you staying then?. How will I make sure that your health is fine, what about bella and ella, they be upset about this."

"I know that but it can't be helped. You guys have already done so much for me, it'll be kinda wrong to rely on you even more. I rented a room at magic circle, its s pretty nice room, especially after what I did with it. Its not far from here so I mean I could always stop by."

"Fine, you've made up your mind and there's nothing I can do to change it. So just promise that you'll drop by before your seven months are up ok?"

"Deal. By way please tell the twins for me, I gotta go, see you later I guess."

Jabari had made his way to arianna's house where he told her what he was gonna do. For reasons he didn't get she was upset with him for it had taken him quite a while before he got her to calm down.

After making sure he was in the clear immediately left. He was gonna try a few of his skills deep in the forest forest surrounding the town. Specifically the one to the east. That particular area was paradise for monster.

After going bag to the inn and grabbing everything he needed, two sets of fresh clothes and a pair of daggers, he headed straight for the forest, his goal kill as many monsters he could using only his skills.

"This place is bigger up close. These trees are freaking giants. What the heck kind of creatures even live here."

"Might as well start now. Ākaibu, I should be able to use my skills by just saying of thinking it right"

{Correct. Although passive skills such as survivors instinct (S.T.) are active ninety five percent of the time. Other skills you need only to make sure you have enough mana use them.}

"Ok then, lets do this. I might die but so be it."

As soon as he stepped in the forest his S.T. kicked in. There were hundreds if not thousands dangerous monsters around, all now aware of his presence in there. His place on the food chain,... The bottom. He was about to move forward when his body moved on its own forcing him to jump back. Looking at where he was standing he saw that a weird looking arrow had pierced thw ground, most likely would have have pierced him if he hadn't moved.

{Secondary aspect of survivors instinct developed. Danger reflexes.}

"So the skill just basically upgraded, not evolved. I need to look at the difference between that when I get the chance. But for now something is hunting me. And now its time for it to be hunted."

He finished with a sinister smile. Jumping away again he dodged another of those strange arrows.

"That came from the same direction. If so then its most like one. If it stays hiding I won't be able to do anything, so i'm just gonna make it tell me where it is."

He thought this time catching the arrow that was now aimed for his head.

"Bingo, there you are."

He shouted throwing back the arrow in the direction it came from. With a thund something fell from the trees life less. Walking over to it he realized it was a spider like creature.

{It is adviced to take the body to later sell or use its material for what ever it can be used for. This specific creature is called a archer spider. The can weave webs into arrows and fire them using compressed gas stored in the torso. Every part of an archer spider is worth at least one silver coin. To store this creature in item box just touch it and think of item box. To remove simply think of it coming out.}

"So I can sell it. Wait do I share item box with that other guy you mentioned? You know just like how we also share money and stuff?"

{Item box is a separate function and can only be used by its owner.}

"Ok then, I was just think If that was the case I could use it as a way to communicate with him, but it is what it is i guess."

After, storing the spider, he got up heading deeper into the forest.

About two hours has passed and all he had fought were goblins,hound wolfs and more of those archer spiders. The only skills he had tested so far was survivors instinct, master of martial arts and appraisal. He wasn't really all that impressed with master of martial arts. Since his knowledge of hand to hand combat was limited it didn't do anything special. In order to get the best of it he would need to expand his had to had combat skills. Not to mention the part that operates on weapons.

Currently he is walking through the forest in search of something. Ākaibu informed him of a dungeon that was somewhere in this area. Apparently it was supposed to be a layerd dungeon, which basically means its one big dungeon that has multiple stages that appear in the place of the previous after clearing it. This one was supposed to be a triple A rank that no one has even found yet. So he could make it his own private training ground since after clearing the first twenty floors, it resets and starts over with stronger and longer levels. The number of levels increasing by two each time he clears the last.

"Where's this place at. Its like I've been walking in a f**king circle all day." He shouted getting frustrated.

{The dungeon's entrance is a large flat stone pillar on the ground.}

"Thats what you've been saying this entire time but I haven't seen anything like that. All I've seen are trees, trees, big f**King trees, small trees, and surprise more f**king trees."

~°•Click!!! Click!!! •°~

"What was that?. It sound like I stepped on something."

Another click followed then another. Before he could react the mossy ground under his feet began to glow. Not have anytime to react he was dragged into a hole now in the ground. With a loud crash he was flung to the ground leaving a small imprint after being teleported.

{Notice host as fallen through a drop portal and teleported to the layered dungeon. Caution is adviced.}

"What??. So this thing that I've been looking for this entire time was under my feet this time. And you had me looking for a freaking pillar that didn't exist!!?"

{Correction. You did step on top of the pillar. The pillar runs deep underground and only the flat top part can be seen from the surface. Due to it not being used for so long it had been covered by moss and other plants. When you accidentally stepped on it you activated a mechanism that made you fall straight into a drop portal teleporting you here.}

"So it didn't cross your mind to say, oh, jay, keep your eyes open it might be covered by moss. Or even. Jabari, be careful when you find it, you might fall into a drop portal and flung into the ground."

{I was not aware I needed to inform you of such a simple matter. I simply assumed that you were smarter and didn't need to warn you.}

"Wait, hold... Why do you sound like that, and since when did you start talking like that. Are you somehow developing your speech ability?"

{It is due to toshokan's host being near my speech capabilities are improving along with other aspects. They should arrive here in approximately fifteen seconds. Fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three...

[A few minutes ago]

{Exploring ruins with out know what your doing is extremely dangerous.}

"So. If anything pops up I kill it simple. Whats so complicated about that."

{You cannot kill what doesn't have life. I suggest you take my advice and move more carefully. Before you end up killing yourself and destroying me with it.}

"The f**k if wrong with you? Ever since we got to the center of this place you being acting strange. Like since when did you talk with attitude?. Its like your a whole new f**king person."

{There seems to a drop portal in these ruins. Sometimes traces of energy from what is on the other side passes from one end to the other. My speech and emotion capabilities are improving due to ākaibu and its host being on the other side of this one.}

"Ok so I got the part about ākaibu being on the other side and energy passing and all that crap right. But what I don't get is what the hell is a drop portal."

{A drop portal is a portal connecting something underground that is two far. (Days down)To the surface. Although it is down its not always directly. It can connect to somewhere that's millions of miles away.}

"Ok, so basically there's a portal here, connected to some random place under ground, and this ākaibu is on the other side?"

{Correct, and if we find it we'll be teleported to them. Which means you might get the answers you were looking for.}

"Then why the f**k are we still here. Find this portal shit and lets go!"

Daniel was still on his quest to reach jabari's location when he found some type of jungle temple ruin. Figuring that it wouldn't hurt to see what he could find he went it.

"If its a portal and its in a place like this its gotta be somewhere here at the center. So I just gotta look around until I find it."

{Again moving around reckless in a ruin like this is not adviced. Please proceed with cauti...on...}

~°•Click!!! Click!!•°~

"Motherf**ker!."

Without realizing it he had unintentionally stepped on a trigger just like jay did causing him to fall into a drop portal. Coincidentally they both fell into their portal at the same time. What they didn't know was that both their portals were connected to the same destination.

After ten seconds of falling Daniel finally landed, or rather got flung into the ground just as ākaibu finished the count down.

×Ākaibu×

{Notice. Toshokan and it's host has arrived. Notice. Toshokan and it's host has arrived.}

×Toshokan×

{Notice. We have arrived the location of ākaibu and it's host. Notice. We have arrived at the location of ākaibu and it's host.}

Seeing how Daniel feel just like he did Jabari began laughing uncontrollably. Daniel heard the laughing an got up off his face and climbed out of the imprint he made when he feel.

"Why the heck are you laughing like some jacka***?"

He asked in confusion.

Not knowing what else to do jabari pointed the imprint he made and then the one daniel had made. Seeing this daniel started laughing as well.

"Seeing how you fell i'm guessing you came through a drop portal by accident just like I did." Jabari said walking over to him.

"Jabari. But call me Jay." Jabari said stretching out his hand for a handshake.

"Daniel. I don't have a nick name so call me what ever you want."

Daniel said taking jay's hand with a wide grin on his face.

×*-Both Ākaibu and Toshokan-*×

{Contact between both host has been confirmed. Now displaying message. Titled. Why it is what it is. Synchronizing hosts minds. Message now playing.}..., ..., ..., ..., ...,

~I guess you both finally met. I thought it would have taken you longer but the less time you took the better. I know you both have questions but this is only message done a long time ago and not in the present time. Yes I know who you both are. You are Jabari, also known as Jay. And you are Daniel. The first thing you both might be wondering is whats going on. But first let be tell you how you both came to be in this world.~

~You see originally you both were from another world, a world without magic instead a world ruled by technology. You two were close in this life. So close you could have been brothers. But unfortunately you both got caught in the middle of a war. Just as you thought you escaped death, a nuclear bomb went off directly under your feet killing you both instantly. Seeing your untimely death I decided to have you reincarnated into this world, but with a cost. Your memories and for you so one day act as heroes it so desperately needed. You both will however regain your memories when you reunited through the power of the systems Ākaibu and Toshokan.~

~As for who I am. I am know as the father of gods. The first god and the one to create this world and many others. In this world I split my self into different beings. Each becoming a god of something. Though they were me they had their own personalities. Their main duty government over what they became gods of. Some however were too weak and developed human like characteristics, becoming easy to corrupt. Becoming evil and with each wanting rule over the universe they began telling tales of how they were the one and only. Now only a few still believe in me. I wish I could just destroy them but if I they originally did so I would go with them and all of existence with us.~

~But the same is not said for you both. If you were to kill one It wouldn't affect me. And they return to being one with me. Now just as I said all those years ago before I placed those marks on your shoulders. Jabari and Daniel will you grant me this service of saving humanity before they fall too far.~

"I remember it now, where we came from and how we got to this world. It's all clear." Jabari said looking and his hands.

"A promise is a promise God. And we made you a promise." Daniel said his grin coming back.

"You were the one that gave us another chance of life when we died. It was not for you our lives would have ended at the age of seven. And even though our time in this world might have gone bad its just the beginning of something better. So with the will of our minds and the strength of our minds we shall kill all the gods who have fallen. We shall become masters of magic and sword amd then our name as God hunters will reach their ears and pierce their hearts as they await their deaths by our hands. This we swear with our mind, heart and soul to you the God that gave us a second chance at life." Both boys kneeling on on knee their fists over their hearts and heads bowed. They made up their mind that this will now be how they lived enjoying ever second of it.

~I thank you both. And leave everything to you.~
