Alpha Purple Warrior is now trying to control the fire that is on his hands. he received his gift not so long ago but he has obtain complete control of fire in little time.
Alpha Purple Warrior is going to take part on the tasks for chapter 9. at the moment he is training to be on his best shape before the time comes. he wants to prove himself to be a better him. he is tired of been weak and he wants to be strong enough to protect others.
Alpha Purple Warrior creates a huge ball of fire that is consumed. Alpha Purple Warrior is out of breathe after all the training that he has been doing with the fire. he lies down on the floor expecting to get better before keep practicing.
Alpha Purple Warrior looks at the palm of his hand which is partially burn. he laughs feeling that he has become stronger and thinking that he can finally protect those who can be on need of help. he laughs drastically feeling the power on his whole body.
Doctor Middle Finger steps in front of him. he sits on the floor as he looks at the wounds on his partner. Doctor Middle Finger tells him to be careful. Alpha Purple Warrior also sits on the floor. Doctor Middle Finger takes a first aid kit out of his inventory and he gives it to Alpha Purple Warrior.
Doctor Middle Finger admits that he was visited by a God a few days ago offering to him a gift that he took. Doctor Middle Finger feels shame in admitting that he has zero control of the gift at the moment. he loughs as he feels that he will never be good enough nor strong to protect what is important to him.
Alpha Purple Warrior has a confession for his friend. he confesses to be witness of a crime. his face is full of rage and anger as he describes the events of that night in which he was a coward and for fear he allowed a lot of things to happen.
far away from there is Organic Florist practicing to control the wine as a weapon. he is really tired and he is dehydrating the more he tries to control the gift he was given. Organic Florist gives up as he falls on his knees.
Organic Florist snaps his finger and a glass with wine appears in front of him. he drinks the wine with joy. Chicken Wrath and Joaquin Fernandez are observing Organic Florist's training. Chicken Wrath asks Joaquin if there is a way for them to help. Joaquin tells him that is better for him to learn alone.
Organic Florist offers wine to them. Chicken Wrath accepts a glass or two. Joaquin answers with a no. Organic Florist stands up. he takes his t-shirt and pants off. he keeps trying to control the wine like a weapon.
"I want to know how real is the probability of him actually killing with wine."
said Joaquin as he scratches his chin.
"actually it isn't as crazy as it sounds. I mean in theory we have become part of a video game so using ridiculous powers as weapons isn't something strange for a video game and don't get me started with anime. there are some crazy as fuck plot points and powers that you will doubt your sanity for watching that shit."
said Chicken Wrath feeling proud of himself.
Chicken Wrath is jealous to see that at least four of the guys on their guild were given a gift but he doesn't have any gift to use. Chicken Wrath wishes to have a gift and to feel especial. he is afraid to think that maybe he isn't as useful as he thought he was.
Organic Florist accommodates empty bottles of liquor. he walks far from the bottles until there is a difference of twenty meters. he uses his gift and with it he aims at each bottle and he successfully break all the bottles.
Chicken Wrath and Joaquin are clapping surprise to see that he is actually polishing his gift for battles. Chicken Wrath has his doubts about how can that gift be helpful to them. Joaquin is thinking about multiple scenarios in which Organic Florist could help with his gift. this is an advantage to him.
"I hear that in ten days chapter nine is going to be available, now the real question is who are you going to take to finish that chapter. some of our strongest guys are practicing with their gifts and others had participate in finishing a chapter already."
said Chicken Wrath feeling pressure.
"we will talk about that later. right now lets see how useful this man can become in a near future with that strange gift of his."
answered Joaquin with a serious tone of voice.
Organic Florist falls on the floor tired. he puts a glass of wine on his right hand. he drinks the wine. he laughs nervously when he saw that he wasn't able to stand up again. his body is too tired to even move at all. Joaquin tells him to take the rest of the day to recharge his energy.
Organic Florist laughs with a sad expression on his face. there is a lot of melancholy on his face. he is good at hiding it but it is still visible on his eyes and his laughter the sour taste of pain that he tries too hard to hide.
Chicken Wrath uses some kind of phone (given by Zeus) to call the other members of their guild. Chicken Wrath asks Organic Florist if he wants to eat something with them. Organic Florist barely stands up with a huge smile.
"I will take that as a yes."
said Joaquin feeling glad to have good partners at his side.
both Joaquin and Chicken Wrath helped Organic Florist to walks as they were on their way to a nice restaurant of Mexican food. Joaquin didn't ate normal human food in the other game he played so in this one he is glad that at least he can eat his favorite food.
at this precise moment inside of the Guild building; the Psychotic Twin is eating with her brother. Choco-Coco-Latte gets inside of the cafeteria and he looks at them. the Good Twin tells him that his sister is practicing to control her gift.
Choco asks them if they are going to take part on the tasks for the next chapter. the Psychotic Twin is angry and she wants to kill him. the Good Twin tells him excited that he wants to take part on the tasks, but he is afraid that his sister will oppose him.
"I just want to say something to your dear freaking-psycho-demonic-bubble eyes- sister. bitch I don't care if you forgive me or not. I don't care if you fall in a hole and die of dehydration, the only thing I care about is my own selfish self. I am trying to establish a normal comrade relationship with your sweet bro who is actually a better human being than you. at least he has the heart to forgive me and accept me as a comrade."
said Choco-Coco-Latte irritated for her aggressive behavior towards him.
"did you even asked for forgiveness after you torture us and even intended on killing my younger brother."
yields Psychotic Twin furiously.
"I did what I needed to do in the moment to protect those who have become... no? why am I even lying to myself? I actually did it because I was out for blood after one of us murdered my only friends. he was cold and brutal so I wanted to do the same to his new comrades... I didn't kill him, but oh I wish you can see what I did to him. I gave him a reason to hate as much as I do."
said Choco sounding like a psycho.
"someone hurt you? I can see the pain in your eyes. I have felt pain so I know when I see another broken soul. I can tell by seen your eyes that you are drowning in sorrow."
said Good Twin feeling pity for him.
"you can't be human if you don't have a shadow following you when you are awake and tormenting you when you are asleep. there is nothing more human than being a victim of your own sins even if those sins were committed indirectly..... pardon my words I have something to do."
said Choco with a melancholic tone of voice.
Choco-Coco-Latte walks away from them. Psychotic Twin hates him with all her guts but jet she can feel that there is some tragic past hiding behind that man. that doesn't matter when everyone in there has a past that is either tragic or is a shameful moment that they wish to have erased.
there can not be forgiveness when they are all the same jet not everyone behaves like a savage barbarian torturing others. that privilege is given alone to Choco the man, the name that is the source of Psychotic Twin's anger.
the Good Twin has no hate for a man who is lost in sorrow and rage. a man like that will never find his way back to his humanity and he will stay lost in regret and hatred. there is no hate towards such a pitiful soul. there is only pity.
the Psychotic Twin tells to her brother how she was given a gift that is really cool. she is proud and glad to have such a gift. she tells him with a huge smile that she is going to be able to protect him now and no one will ever put a hand on him.
the Good Twin is eating in silence. he wants to ask to his sister to give an opportunity to that man, but he is afraid of her reaction towards his request. she is not wrong to hate him when he has been so heartless. but there are times that is worth it to forgive.
Psychotic Twin is eating peacefully thinking about how entertaining can be to fight in this game. if she ignores the fact that she has to protect her brother all the time and the fact that she can die at any second, it is actually fun to be in this deadly game.
later on the Coliseum; Beau is tired lying on the ground. he buries his hands on the ground. he tries to stand up but he is too tired to even move. Ares is looking at him with a grin on his face. Ares is amazed to see him survive that long with the rough training that he gave to Beau.
Beau stands up and he is about to move when he is stop by Ares. the God of War allows him to take thirty more minutes of break. Ares tells him that discipline is good but he also needs to hear his own body and understand his limits.
Beau laughs joyful to see that the God of War comprehends human weaknesses like fatigue. he thought at first that Ares was going to ask for perfection as he was helping him to evolve his Gift, but there is no word like perfection in the vocabulary of a God because for them the imperfection doesn't exist.
Ares is not asking for perfection, but for his cooperation. Ares wants him to do his best not to do perfect. Ares has a great understanding of the capacity of the mortals and their will to break free from their weaknesses.
Beau looks at the sun with multiple questions about his faith. is true that when he was alive he didn't care if he died or live (of course he always told to himself that before dying he has to lose his virginity first so he can go without any regrets.) but now he is afraid of dying in this unknown environment. he is afraid of dying in here.
"you mortal, you are becoming my favorite fool in this sea of fools & blood. so you better not go out there dying without my permission."
yields Ares full of energy.
Beau laughs. Beau's first impression of the Greek Gods was that they were a herd of assholes. now that he has become somehow close to Ares he can see that they are so similar to humans. they can feel and is probable that they had suffer more than a human in their eternal never-ending lives full of resentment towards humans.
"no worries boss, I am the disciple of the one & only God of War. I am your student boss so I can't die that easily."
said Beau lacking any seriousness on his words.
Ares blushes feeling that for the first time in two or three centuries there is a mortal who says honest words of appreciation towards him. many tears are falling from his eyes. Ares turns around and he covers his face with his hands feeling shame for his tears.
Beau asks him if he cried. Ares yields at him letting him know that if he insults his strength once more he is going to be punish in the dungeon. Ares lets him know that he has some special tools for torture on the dungeon.
