Chat Group For Magicians

Chapter 3: The Magicians

Just like the gloves, I withdraw the shoes out and tried it out. Similar to the gloves, the shoes can also burn things whenever its flames touched something. What is more, these shoes can send flame projectiles whenever you kick the air.

After a few while, I was left exhausted for no apparent reason but I totally enjoyed the two items. With the gloves, I can use flames and use them as I like, like having the flames act like a flamethrower or use it by hurling fireballs. The shoes are similar to a rolling skate since you can use it for increasing your speed. With these two items, everything will be very interesting.

Since I was so exhausted, I have to rest and relax my whole body. It was like I undergo an extreme cardio exercise due to the fatigue that built up in my body. I lay on the sofa and take out the phone. This app is the cause of everything. It was mysterious and magical. I even forgot the reason how the gloves and shoes managed to appear out of nowhere. Still, I still have no understanding of this app, and there is no way to check it but dig deeper.

I opened the app and decided to finally check the chat group. I am not entirely sure if these people are real. Are they some sort of people who sold their souls to the demons to gain powers? Or are they self-proclaimed magicians?

The first thing that appeared when I opened the lobby is the rules. There is a 5-minute countdown before I can get inside the lobby first. This is to be expected, Discord also has this function so I am not surprised.

Rules and Regulations

1. Be respectful to other magicians, do not curse or be rude to others.

2. Quests need to be fulfilled. If the quest is a failure due to an unprecedented event or if the quest is too hard and was forced to get abandoned, the person needs to file quest abandon message in #QUESTFILE_LOBBY

3. Abandoning the quest without any kind of message saying they abandon the quest, the user would be punished.

4. Spells lobby is where the spells are posted. Chatting in there is not allowed. Please go to the #generals instead.

5. Posting magics about demonic chants, demonic spells and any kind of rituals that is connected to demonic rituals are prohibited.

6. Spells are free to use in Spells Lobby. Do not let the others scam you to pay sh*t.

7. Last, do not reveal the existence of magicians to non-magicians. We are blending to the human world and that's it. Mentioning or even showing magic to the public for the use of entertaining is considered as a taboo. Punishment is imminent.

-----

The rules are pretty weird too. They don't mention the users as people but call them magicians. Also, what did they mean by blending to the human world? Are they not humans anymore? Should I continue digging deeper or not? I am getting shivers on this one. I waited for the remaining minutes left before the entry is now allowed. As soon as I got to access the main chat, I saw different lobbies for chatting. Unlike Discord, the lobbies here are all labeled and with logos. There is the main lobby of chat named Lounge, there is also the Questfile Lobby and the Spells Lobby. A News lobby is also available and request lobby and lastly, the Meeting Lobby.

There is nothing more than that. I still have second thoughts on entering the Lounge so I decided to check the news first. This lobby is only for news and you can't post anything here except the moderators and the owner of this server. I saw one news that looked strange to me but I saw the news that makes me jog my memory since I saw this particular news in a news flash.

"An apartment building is set into flames killing a few civilians in the process last night in Asakusa, Tokyo. In public, this was just a mere faulty cause of a gas tank but it was not the real cause. The main perpetrator, a berserking ifrit summoned by a demon made a rampage after the main identity of the demon known, causing the whole building to burn. The demon is already killed and the ifrit is already sent to the Gehenna. The magicians on standby were sent to make the restoration and blessing process."

The fire in Asakusa... I can't be wrong with that because that news appeared while I was waiting for an anime show last night. It was a news flash that occurred that time so it was still pretty fresh in my mind. But what the heck? It's not a gas tank but an ifrit? I have no idea what it was and I can't search it yet because I have no internet connection yet. This is surreal to me. I didn't believe in this app at first but it is performing strange things that I can't explain and one of them is the fact that this phone is still not connected to the internet.

Now I am a bit convinced therefore I decided to dive into the Lounge. I am not planning to talk first and just lurk around for a while. The chat is very active and messages keep on popping here and there which now brings me to the how. How does this app manage to connect other people without any internet connection or any data? I lurk around and started reading their messages without them knowing.

Tsukiyama: Does that mean the closure to the event on Asakusa? I spotted a bunch of demons there last time I was in there.

Rena: It is hard to determine if that was the end because the enemies are just making the whole events chaotic. It was like they are trying to divert our attention to something they made so that their main actions are kept away from our eyes.

Moonlight: I also saw a lot of movement here in Tokyo and I seemed to think that they are getting bolder and bolder each day.

Titan: One of the fighters I defeated the other night was actually a demon in disguise. He didn't bother to remove his disguise and attacked me. I don't know but this might be connected to something large.

Yaya: Breaking news guys! I managed to track down the main cause of these demon appearances!

Moonlight: Really?

Voltaire: Yeah. Yaya and I managed to track the mastermind. He is currently trying to make an army of Homunculus here in Tokyo. We managed to destroy his factory but I doubt that was his only factory right now. I am guessing that he is not using a single factory, but a few more factories around Japan.

Tsugimoto: Japan is getting hard to deal with right now. Many enemies are getting bolder and bolder in creating dangerous things that will reveal our existence.

Raigaki: Hey guys! Can you help me find a certain doujin in Akiba? Send help guys!

(SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT: Raigaki has been muted for 5 hours: Reason: Lewd, go away!)

Moonlight: Where in Tokyo did they set up the factory @Voltaire @Yaya?

Yaya: Around Roppongi. It is currently far from your location @Moonlight. You just need to stay in standby for now. There are lots of movements over there so I am guessing that they might be trying to strike there soon. There are lots of civilians there so be prepared and be vigilant always.

Moonlight: Of course.

Titan: Just send us some help if you ever in a pinch.'

Voltaire: Be careful always. Last time I faced a demon, they have grown stronger. You can't really attack as always @Moonlight since your injury from the last battle is still not healed. Do not overexert yourself.

The chat is getting weirder and weirder. Not because the message continues to appear even without the internet but because of their topic. I know what a homunculus is since I have remembered many anime and games mentioning them. I even researched them because they are always popular in the supernatural field and science fiction. Just what is actually going on? And what entities are these demons that they are talking about? So many questions but no answers. Also, I am not yet ready to talk so let's set them aside for now. But after the revelation, it's getting harder for me to know if everything around me is the truth or just another one messed up fabrication of lies.

This word is used twelve times in the New Testament with Jesus employing it eleven times. Gehenna is derived from the Hebrew ge hinnom or the "valley of Hinnom." Hinnom was probably the name of a person in ancient Israel. The valley of Hinnom is a deep narrow glen just outside of Jerusalem. It was also called Tophet, or the valley of dead bones.[/ol]
