《Devour》Chapter 26: Old World

"Otherworld? What do you mean? Anyways, I'm Jio, and I really appreciate you helping us back there; thank you, sir," Jio let out.
"No need to say thanks. I was supposed to say 'thank you' to you since you saved my family in a small town of ours three months ago, and I've been looking for you ever since."
"Guess we can call it even then," Jio happily said.
"My family means a lot to me; today, I swore to be your brother," Jio stops Cloud before he finishes his sentence.
"Hahahaha, calm down, Cloud; you have to swear to my sworn brothers and sister if you want to call me brother," Jio let out, scratching his head.
"Then I agree," Cloud answers without hesitation.
"Their names are Aera, Mickey, Dino, and Kiba," Jio said.
"I will find them and do as you wish!" Cloud declares.
Jio confusedly looks at Cloud and asks, "Do you know those people?"
"Hahahaha," Cloud laughs as he looks away from Jio in shame.
"It's Aera Midas, The Angel of Dawn with Mickey Chenn, The Perverted Monkey! Dino Strong of Blood Tribe with Kiba Dragon who killed the Barbarian Tribe's Chieftain."
"..." Cloud realizes that the people Jio is affiliated with are the people who contribute something significant to the war.
*Jio, The Reaper that the Blood Moon Cult fears, of course, he knows those people* Cloud thought.
Jio takes Jon out as it morphs, but Cloud shouts "Mimic" and shoots once. Luckily Jio dodges the bullet, and the group looks at them.
"Sorry, guys were just testing something!" Jio shouts to the group, so they don't need to worry.
"What the fuck? You're lucky that I survive that; what do you mean by Mimic?" Jio asks Cloud why the hell he shot him; he could have died.

"Sorry... I thought I saw something from my past. My previous world," Cloud said in his defense.
"It's okay. You have a weird soul weapon. Can I look at it?" Jio curiously let out.
"It's called a sniper gun; it might be the 1st one here in this world," Cloud proudly said.
Cloud gives his soul gun to Jio, and Jon devours the weapon. Cloud thought that his sniper rifle is gone forever because he shoots the wrong person. Jon spits the weapon back to Cloud after Jio finished checking all the inner and outer components.
"So you telling me that your 'Sniper Rifle' is a common weapon back in your old world?" Jio asks.
"Yes! I'm happy to get this second life... Just like anime, but I don't really watch those, so I dont really have the idea," Cloud let out as he smiles and continues, "Life is life with slightly different world rules like magic and era if you ask me."
"I see, so no magic. Humans adapt, invent and survive!" Jio said.
"You're the first person who believes about my old world... I'm happy that you listen," Cloud happily said.
"Well, that's thanks to my parents!" Jio let out as Jon finally fished, morphing to a sniper rifle.
Smooth and slightly glossy black sniper; better looking than Cloud's soul gun.
*It's better than I imagine* Jio thought
"You should check your gun; I added some improvements!" Jio said and smiled, "Just a drop of blood, and you will see what I mean."
After Cloud puts a drop of blood to his soul weapon, he can feel the added ability and happily tries the upgrade.
Cloud personally designed the bullet with fire magic to propel the projectiles to the enemies. He also puts a slot where he can put a magic stone to the gun and utilizes the energy from the stone. If he chambers a fire stone, the soul weapon becomes a fire thrower.

His weapon's upgrade is the ability to absorb the energy around him and shoots that energy at will. He can also use the power he gathered to the bullets before it discharges out of the gun's barrel.
"Did you like my gift?" Jio asks.
"You just made my soul weapon to a rank S!" Cloud happily let out.
"Glad to hear it, S rank?" Jio asks.
"Thank you, Brother. It's my system—it's how I rank any weapons," Cloud answers.
"Find the rest of my sworn brothers and sister to make it official!" Jio let out.
"Will do, brother!" Cloud answers and part ways.
When Jio requests to leave the group, the leader looks at his record and can not figure out why Jio De Spirit can do whatever he wants, no matter the circumstance. The leader approves his request since he can't let him stay even he needs more people after the ambushed.
*I mean... His the The Reaper, make sense* The leader thought
