The Great Demon System

Chapter 274: Zexis Park

Moby slowly opened his eyes and felt extremely refreshed, hopping out of bed thinking of his plans.

< 7:00 am >

He looked at his clock then back at Ray who was still fast asleep like a baby on the bottom bunk.

He went out and did his daily routine, exercise/daily quest, breakfast, then shower, putting all his stats gained once again into mind.

All in that time as well, he used it to contact 2 people for plans he wanted to spend with all of them to cheer them up— it would have been 3 if it weren't for their mental state...

Once everything was done and over with, he crouched down and shook Ray wide open until he slowly opened his eyes.

"Yeah Moby? What is it? Why are you waking me up like this?"

As he turned around, Moby could not help but notice slight redness under his eyes which only pushed him to do what he wanted to do more.

"We're going to the amusement park!"

***********************************************

Moby and Ray just got off the bus and waited patiently outside the station where they all agreed to meet. It was only a few minutes away from the amusement park walking so they thought it was a perfect place to gather.

Not even a few seconds later, a small but elegant black car flew down and rolled up next to them, out of it came out a beautiful blue-haired girl wearing a casual outfit and a cap on her head.

Moby almost couldn't even recognize it was his own girlfriend since it was his first-ever time seeing her wear something so casual even within her house.

"Thank you for the ride Albert!"

She waved back at her car before it drove away, looking back to Moby with wide-open eyes filled with disbelief.

'Hey! Idiot! What do you think you're doing dressed so casually!? You were just on TV! I bet you're even still on TV right now!'

Jayden's voice hit hard in his head as he came to the sudden realization that he had gotten so excited that he left himself wide open… He was not at all used to being recognized as some sort of celebrity.

Now that he thought about it, he did notice quite a few more stares on the bus than usual.

He did come by some 'Sub Feddits' worshipping him but he only dismissed them as weirdos, but maybe they're more common after all...

"Hey! Girls! Is that… Is that Moby Kane from the news?! The guy that held his own against a high-ranking shalker! Why does he look even cuter in person!?"

"Can I have a picture, please? Or maybe an autograph,"

"How was it to fight a strong shalker? How did you get so strong!? Can you tell me your secret?"

"Hey! What's you're relationship status? Are you taken?"

"What is your ability really? Did you really find it randomly in your school exam!?"

As if the gates of hades were thrust wide open, as soon as his appearance was brought to his attention, so did a horde of people that suddenly recognized his likeness, a slight majority of them being girls.

"Oh fuck…"

He mumbled to himself as a wave of people rushed his way, making him jump out and try to hide.

"Sorry! I don't have time to answer all your questions! Maybe some other time okay!?"

*Whoosh*

"Come on! At least tell me if you're taken or not?"

In a split second, although he jumped off the ground with as much force as he could as to not cause any damage, another girl was already to his side… No, more like 3 girls and 2 guys looking like they were ready to pounce on him.

'Fuck! They're all stronger than me! I completely forgot I'm still weak as fuck compared to most well-trained adults!'

He panicked and used his freezing time skill along with his air steps to manoeuvre away from every last one of them.

However, the chase was not over as various people and paparazzi were following him incessantly everywhere he went and the wave only seemed to be getting even bigger…

Jayden and Ray were probably still at the bus station shaking their heads while he was forced to run for his life.

"Bathroom! Yes! Bathroom!"

By a stroke of luck, he managed to find a private restroom and locked the door behind him.

"Fuck… Finally, I'm safe…"

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"Mr. Kane! We're so sorry for the inconvenience but we just wanted to ask you some very important questions that might change the course of the war! Your ability seems to be very powerful and special! Are you willing to sell or donate it to the military so we might strengthen our forces for the inevitable war!"

"Can I please have your autograph! I don't even need a picture! I'm literally your biggest fan!"

"Sorry for all of this! We'll try to be more civilized, maybe we got too excited…"

More than anything, right now Moby simply wanted to tell them to fuck off. But, for very important reasons, later on, he needed to avoid drama and not destroy his public image.

'Jayden! Are you and Ray still waiting at the bus stop?'

'Mhm…'

'I might be late for a few minutes to a few hours… You guys could have fun without me! I didn't realize I had this many crazy supporters!'

*Knock* *Knock*

"Kane! We know you're in there! We know this is very awkward but please answer to the people! These questions are very important! What were those moves you just used to get away from us?! That was very impressive! Is that a gadget or also part of your ability?"

'I got to go right now Jayden! You guys have fun!'

***************************

"So… He really just got…"

"Yeah… he did,"

Jayden replied to Ray with a small sigh that was then followed up by a chuckle.

Suddenly, another bus came in, and out of that bus was another man dressed in low-key and casual attire, slightly shorter than Ray, the sun reflecting off his cyan hair.

"Hey, guys… It's been a while since we saw each other… Where's the boss?"

Nags spoke, black bags under his eyes that had slight redness, he almost looked like a corpse.

"Oh, he had some difficulty with paparazzi that noticed him, he'll be joining us in a bit… Hopefully..."

"I see… Well then, we better be off…"

*****************************

Other than Ray, this was their first-ever time visiting the amusement park, looking up at the sign that read its name that all of them could not help but look dreadful at.

< Welcome to Zexis Park! >

"Out of all the names… Damn… Did Moby know this when he invited us all here?" Nags broke the silence with his gloomy voice, shuddering slightly at his own words.

"I feel like he probably forgot and just wanted to cheer us all up after we've all been so gloomy… But now he left 3 gloomy people all alone instead of him being the cheerful one spreading his positive vibes… I wish I could be strong like that…"

Ray could not help but awkwardly smile, almost like he reverted back to his previous, lifeless, almost robotic state.

Jayden looked at the 2 short gnomes to her side and made up her mind. She was going to be the one to take Moby's place and she will try her best to have a good time like he wanted them to. She will shoulder all the responsibility.

"Guys! Follow me! The line's really long but I have something cool!"

"Wait, isn't that the VIP entry?"

"Yep! Not only will it allow us to enter with no line! We can also skip all the lines in the entire park!"

Jayden replied, flashing her VIP card which they both should have expected.

As they all entered the futuristic amusement park, Ray could not help but feel slightly angry once more looking at all the rides before he suddenly remembered his last time in the park and the warmth and support both Moby and Alex gave him which almost made him shed a tear.

"So? Where to first?"

Jayden's voice was unnaturally goofy and upbeat which did bring a slight smile on both Ray's and Nags's faces.

It was slightly awkward though. If anything, they were all complete strangers who had only talked to each other a few times, although Jayden and Nags did fight alongside each other in a life or death battle where they had to rely on each other while Ray was still part of the operation but simply stayed home.

However, they were all now part of the same demon household so they were stuck with each other and were forced to get along.

"The drop to the molten core… Let's do that one… The last time we came me, Alex, and Moby decided to go on the space roller-coaster and promised to go to the molten drop the next time we came…"

The mere mention of Alex's name and the fire element which referenced Abby, brought a damper on the mood, especially in Jayden's case. She considered herself a great actor, but even through all that, she was still unable to keep herself under control… She still had many regrets that had to do with them… especially Alex.

"Let's leave that one until Moby joins us again. For now, let's go on the haunted roller coaster as a warm-up! I always wanted to go on one of those to see if they really live up to the name!"
