Chapter 33

KOUSUKE

Midnight Twelve AM Zero Hundred Hours (12:00 am)

Sitting for several hours makes him paranoid now. It's already midnight and still there is no signal coming from him. Did he forget it? Or is he in trouble right now? Should I check up on him? Is he in need of help? What should I do? I have a bad feeling about this. I started panicking but I try to calm myself down.

"I shouldn't be feeling this way. You need to calm your shit down Kousuke please. Grow up like a man. Everything is fine. Why am I acting like this?" I uttered as I can't describe what I am feeling. I am not like this before. Is it maybe because I care for him? Is it maybe I see him as a family? As a friend? I don't want to lose someone right now.

I see Kyoya, Kazehaya, Ryuzaki, Mary, Minato and Axel as my family. Even though we don't get along and we don't talk too much. I want them to be part of my life.

I slowly sit at the edge of my bed and close my eyes. The dorm had no windows for him to see stars to calm him. But even though it has windows there will be no single stars above the sky that he wonders why. Way back then, he can freely gaze at millions of millions of stars up in the sky. Stars embedded into the black night bring beauty to one another, as only complementary opposites ever can.Stars embedded into the black night bring beauty to one another, as only complementary opposites ever can. Stars come to greet our eyes and lift both head and heart heavenwards. If the souls dreaming in this city became as lights in the blackness, they would very much be as awe-striking as the stars. But this city, city of Olympus had change. So much changing that you couldn't tell the difference of the virtual and the reality.

My wish that if ever we would grip in our hands the word freedom. All of the people who are silently suffering in this city will have a life. I will help them. I will invent things for them. That is the only thing that I can repay for bringing back my life. And my wish is to give justice to my parents and to my uncle Ole.

I was about to doze off when my device vibrate making me open my eyes and jolted.

I tap the open bar where a letter 'F' and it sends me to a lot of codes that I usually just see on movies the way of the hackers does.

"This is the forum right? It say's 'F' though." I scratch my neck and hoping it is. It took minutes before I saw a four grids and I am the right side corner. My room was dim but my face in the screen was as clear as the water. How much pixels are here? I just can't stop to be amazed. Human's can do everything and humans are dangerous.

There was only me and suddenly Axel's face appeared and the rest. It was obvious that Kyoya was sleepy and groggy. Kazehaya then was all hyper as he can be.

"Sorry for the long wait guys. I had trouble making this one so now one can trace us. Okay so all of you shut up and let me talk first," he stated and we all nodded waiting for his next statement.

"The game did not crushed or anything. The glitches are made by someone. I think someone is linking our sources. Valdemort knows what we are doing but not everything. Okay this will be a long story but I promise you guys that I will tell you every details and I'll answer all of the questions running in your heads. I just want you to trust me as much as I trust all of you. I know it is hard for all of you to trust me since I am the son of the vice president but please give me a chance. For now, when we get into the game we'll just play like the others. We'll still go to the zone where Kousuke pointed out and get as much as supplies as we need and we get a tank just like Minato said. Minato will take care of the other heroes while us take care of the other players. The strategy of fighting will be given to Kousuke," Axel announce which makes me surprised.

"Me? Why me?" I asked as I looked at Axel, Kyoya and Kazehaya but they just give me a grim look which makes me cringe.

"Anata wa koko de mottomo jisatsu ganbō no aru hitodakaradesu. (Because you are the most suicidal person here). We're innocent as a baby so you handle it and make sure we win or else you die," Kazehaya stated while crunching up his nose and Kyoya gloomy nodded his head and gesture his hand like I am really going to be a dead person.

"Kousuke please study the map. You will no longer open that map in the game. He will see us. Just study the places that are safe everytime the shrink will happen. That map contains where the vault is and Ryuzaki knows it he just can't see where it is because of the codes in that map. You can't send it to me for our safety. Kyoya you are in charge of taking the tank and Kazehaya you are in charge of the supplies. But if you have any idea please don't hesitate to voice out your plan guys. We need to help each other," Axel seriously stated and I just nodded. I guess I don't have to complain things.

"Wait, what about you what are you going to do huh?" Kazehaya voice out asking Axel which makes Kyoya burst into laugh and I can't help but to smile as well. Kazehaya is acting like a kid.

"Shut up! I hate to admit it but I will watch over you guys. It's cringe and I feel gawking right now but I will be your foundation," Axel stated and we all smiled. I can't help but to be happy but I know there are lot more things that Axel didn't mention and how did he knew about Valdemort knowing it all?

"I know you have a lot of questions right there Kousuke. It's all written in your ugly face. I'll explain the next day. For now we need to rest and prepare for the game. Kō suke, chizu o benkyō shite mo īdesu ka?(Kousuke study the map okay?)"
