9 Chapter 9

Jason was desperately searching in the rubble for any kind of sign for his boss or colleague.

He has been searching nonstop, even if it became morning he didn't stop searching.

As he was searching he finally saw someone's leg.

Up until now he found corpses of dead gangsters but he still had hope.

He took the rubble off the person and saw his boss unconscious.

He was overjoyed for a moment but he then looked at his right arm that was shielding his body.

!!!!

His whole right forearm was mangled badly, bone out of his forearm and all.

He didn't hesitate one second, he put Jake on his shoulder and started to go towards the shop where they were residing in.

After he arrived he put Jake on a big table and thought.

'He's lightly bleeding from multiple parts of his body but the biggest problem right now is his right arm, if it stays like this he will certainly die of blood loss.'

He had to save his boss.

Jason was probably the smartest out of the three of them when it came to logical thinking, he is able to make the best best decisions in critical moments.

And in this moment he came to a devastating conclusion.

"I need to cut his forearm off and then stop the bleeding."

That was the best way of saving his life he could think of right now, since there are no doctors because the city is a war zone.

He tied the spot above where he was about to cut since he needs to stop the excessive bleeding that will happen if he doesn't tie it.

He searched the entire shop and found a chainsaw, he fueled it and started it.

*BRUM BRUM BRUM BRRR*

He started the chainsaw and made sure to cut from the elbow so he can cleanly cut from the joint.

After he was done he heavily bandaged the arm and hoped for the best.

>>>>

Jake woke up breathing heavily and feeling heavy, like he just had a fever.

He was hungrier then ever, he looked around him and saw Jason sleeping on a chair.

He looked near him and saw food and water.

With no hesitation he started eating and drinking water until he couldn't anymore.

While he was stuffing his face he felt that something was weird.

He couldn't feel his right forearm.

When he looked down at his right hand, his expression changed to a terrified one.

"W-WHAT THE FUCK!?"

His scream was so loud that Jason woke up.

"Don't move around too much!"

Jake stopped himself and said. "What happened?! Where's my forearm?!"

"Your forearm was crushed by the rubble! I had to cut it off so you wouldn't die."

Jake grabbed Jason by the neck and said. "YOU CUT IT OFF?!"

Jason pointed in a direction and Jake looked there.

A big white thing that was covered in bloody shirts.

He took the shirts off of it and saw his own arm there, it was badly mangled, beyond healing.

Jason said while coughing a bit. "It will take between 4-8 weeks to fully heal."

Jake looked at his arm with blank eyes but then he remembered something.

He said with a calm face. "What about Brad."

"He's….

gone."

Jason actually found his body in the rubble but when he saw that he was dead he moved on and continued searching for his boss.

Jake looked down and said. "I see."

He looked upwards and said. "Let's at least give him a proper goodbye."

You couldn't see his face at all, it was like a shadow was covering his face making you unable to see his expression.

Jason nodded his head and grabbed multiple things that would make for a proper goodbye.

You couldn't see it but Jake's toes were so curled down that he was ripping the sole of his shoe.

His fingernails were etched deep into his palms, his skill 'Demon's nails' activated unconsciously and they penetrated his palms. Making them bleed a little.

He was biting his own teeth in order to calm himself down.

>>>>

Jake and Jason were sitting in front of Brad's corpse, as mangled as it was they could still recognize their friend.

Jake put his hand in his pocket and took out some grapefruit flavored gum.

"Brad, remember when you gave me gum in middle school?

Well, I really liked that gum so I decided to give you at least one back at least now."

Tears started to come out uncontrollably from his eyes and he said with snot coming out of his nose.

"COME ON BRAD!

WHO IS GOING TO GIVE ME GUM NOW HUH???!!!"

He was making bullshit reasons in order to justify his emotions going out of control.

Even Jason was crying silently besides Jake.

Jake looked up at the sky and thought.

'This is the price for being weak, being unable to save even one person.

Can you call yourself a man if you can't even save your loved ones?'

[Flashback]

'Jake' was looking down at the person in front of him.

She was a woman who looked over 40 lying on the ground facing the sky with a cut on her neck.

That person was his mother.

Before transmigrating into Jake's body, he was a drug dealer in London.

And because of that he had made his fair share of enemies.

But the reason he was dealing drugs was so he could pay for his mother's chemotherapy.

She was a victim of cancer and a single mother, she couldn't really take good care of him but she was a loving mother.

And these monsters had the gall to kill his mother who was entering her house just because they recognized her.

She did nothing wrong, he was the one to blame.

If only he had enough money to protect her, if only he had enough connections, if only.....

...he was stronger.

That's all it comes down to, it all comes down to strength.

He was already a cold person, but this incident changed him.

[Flashback end]

And now, another person very important to him died because of his weakness.

Jake looked down at his right arm and thought with bloodshot eyes. 'I'll definitely kill the person who did this.'

He was in the same situation as Kazami and he realized that.

"Jason, how many people do you think suffered the same way we did."

Jason wiped his tears with his sleeve and said. "A lot boss, just imagine that half of the city was mercilessly killed by them. We're not the only ones."

Jake looked at his friend's corpse and said. "We'll recruit every person we can, it doesn't matter if they are skilled or not.

If they have hatred for the Yakuza they are useful.

And you probably realized by now but we have to drop some of our morals, from now on I will probably start using weapons and vehicles too.

It's all out war from now on, everything works.

I don't care what methods we use, we will track down that leader and kill him."

Jason's expression became cold and he said. "Understood."

Jake again looked at his right arm and said. "And I will need an prosthetic arm, make it as tough as possible.

And another thing, our main goal isn't to bring the Yakuza down.

Our main goal is to become the strongest force in the world, don't get blinded by revenge."

Jake looked at the remaining anti aircraft vehicles and thought. 'But firstly, destroying the Yakuza is more important to me.'

>>>>

6 days passed since Jake lost his arm.

In these past 6 days they managed to collect enough magic crystals and create a guild.

It's official name is "JK". It comes from Jake Kim but people don't know his name since he decided to go with the mysterious approach.

So people think JK means Just kidding or other acronyms.

But the most used one is Justified Killers.

The reason why Jake decided to go with the mysterious leader approach was because he doesn't want spies to enter the guild and give information to other parties.

There are currently 1000+ members, most of them whose lives were ruined by the Yakuza.

And only two people take direct orders from him, Justin and Kazami.

They raided two armories and stole all of their guns, of course Jake was participating too.

But he didn't show his face.

He was dressed in all black, black balaclava and black hoodie over his head.

He even bought a d-graded skill that makes his eyes pitch black so people won't know his eye color.

People refer to him as Leader or Boss.

His arm completely healed some time ago because he bought some healing items from the shop with the member's coins. (it didn't grow back, he still has only one arm. But the wound healed.)

He taxed 10 percent of their coins for just being in the guild, but no one complains because they saw him in action.

Some players underestimated him because he only had one arm and decided to attack him while in a raid.

That was when most people witnessed his power, even with one arm he was able to kill the group of 10 with ease.

His fighting style was starting to change since he only has one arm.

He started using weapons and underhanded methods in order to win. He was basically the opposite of the original Jake.

But it wasn't like the Yakuza didn't retaliate, they turned their weapons against them for a short period of time and then continued expanding its power.

The Yakuza were very big, so big that they had at least 10.000 armed men, tanks, jets and a shit ton of spare weapons plus explosives.

Today was the day where the new quests were supposed to drop so Jake was in a room with the only two people who know his identity.

Of course, the members of JK will participate in these missions but there are team designated for each type of scenario.

Meaning that there are teams for the easiest quests and for the harder quests.

Those that will go into the hardest quests are either Suicidal or were there for gathering information.

*WOOM*

[1.Become a great basketball player - Kuroko No Basket (D graded difficulty)

2.Become a great fighter - Baki (C graded difficulty)

3.Kill one high ranking demon - Demon Slayer (B graded difficulty)

4.Survive in a random cultivation world for one week - unknown( A+ graded difficulty)]

Jake who was dressed in his leader outfit said. "What do you think, Jason?"

"First two are too easy, the third one is the best one this time."

"What about the last one?"

"Cultivation worlds have people who can bend time and space with a single thought, even the weakest of them can destroy buildings with punches."

"I see, what about these high ranking demons?"

"They are strong, you will probably have a hard time fighting them head on."

Jake leaned back in his chair and said. "Tell me more about these demons."

"Firstly, they are made by a person named Muzan. Muzan i-"

Jake interrupted him and said. "Don't give me their life story, only stuff that will help me kill them."

"Right, they physically very strong. They can crush metal with ease and punch through people.

But each one of them has a special power that I'll tell you about later.

Their main strength is their immortality, the only way they can die is if they get their head cut off from their neck or if the sun touches them.

Another weakness is the fact that they look down on humans too much, they tend to underestimate them."

Jake looked at his pocket and said. "Sounds good, we will have to plan this ahead but you can explain each of their abilities after we choose the mission."

He clicked the third mission and a flash of light engulfed them.
