I Didn't Choose the Gangsta System, the Gangsta System Chose Me

A few days passed, and Joren's ride had finally reached their destination.

"Kidrith, hide…"

He muttered as he looked at the cruise about to depart from its port. Kidrith didn't know where else to hide except Joren's back. She went to his back with an excited and nervous smile.

In these past few days, being only the two of them in that ferry boat, their emotional distance between each other continued to lessen.

Back in the palace, Kidrith may have some acquiantances but never friends. All of them there were workmates, nothing more. At least, that is the case for her. This was the first time she opened herself up to another since birth.

It was unimaginably fun. Once the awkward atmosphere between them dissipated, Kidrith became more and more comfortable being with Joren.

After all, even if she doesn't want to now, she has to tell everything about herself to Joren since he's her slave. What she didn't expect how easy it was to tell everything. With nothing to do on the boat, they just talked and talked.

That time in the boat was unforgettable. Even though they hadn't escaped the River Styx yet, another world opened up to her. She didn't know she could smile and laugh this much.

Kidrith went from "I'm fine with it" to "Please, kiss me."

Joren didn't even notice this as he just went with the flow. Sometimes, he just wants to talk and chill, and other times, he would be seduced. Unfortunately, they have yet to go over the line, making Kidrith a little dissatisfied and jealous of the woman named Scarlett.

"Can they see us here?"

Joren asked while he saw they were getting closer to the shore.

"I think they can."

"If we jump from here and make our escape, we wouldn't be able to return this boat."

Joren fell into a dilemma. A moment later, an idea surfaced in his head. He knocked on the boat and found it built from a sturdy material.

That could be logical since he just found some scratches on this ancient boat. This is the boat that once ferried billions of souls before already.

"Alright," Joren then took his shirt off and gave it to Kidrith.

"What are you going to do, Joren?" she blushed, thinking that he must've gotten excited with people excited.

Unfortunately for her, that wasn't the case.

"I'm going to push this boat to the shore. Hold on tight." Joren then jumped onto the river, to which Kidrith's eyes widened in surprise.

"Wait-!"

Splash*

The moment Joren entered the river, he was met with a figure of a woman eerily watching him in the depths and abyss. He stared at her for a second before realizing this must be Styx herself. He pointed at the boat as if asking for permission.

But when he felt a tug on his leg, he was sure that was a no, so he just went for it. Fluttering his legs vigorously propelled him forward. His strength was the main factor before he reached the boat and pushed it to the shore.

An uncanny sound underwater, akin to screeching and ringing, reached Joren's ears. He looked back and saw the monster that was Styx. Even though he could defeat Cerberus, he was sure that at that moment, he did not stand a choice against this being.

Feeling the adrenaline rush through him, Joren hastened up. When one of the tentacles was about to reach him. Joren grabbed the edge of the boat and pulled it down, tilting the front and letting it jump from the shore.

This is only possible from the enormous strength's inertia he built up. Without it, it would only tilt up and nothing more. Joren immediately pulled himself up and rode the boat.

Within the bridge, the central control room of the cruise ship, Charon watched the boat fly up while Joren rode on it in the air.

"Hm… that boat looked familiar…."

He thought, and in less than a second, he remembered it.

"It's my boat!!"

Charon immediately contacted cruise personnel.

"Everyone is to take the boat from that thief in this instan-!"

But before he could even finish his words, the wall of glass shattered. Charon looked and saw his boat barged in.

"My boat!" Charon kneeled and hugged the boat. Upon remembering it was stolen, his ugly face went red from anger. He looked at the perpetrator and saw that no one was at the port anymore…

"Search for a wet man!"

That was the only description he could make as the cruise personnel searched the port town.

Garas kicked down the door to a bathroom and saw a man bathing.

"Wh-who are you!? Get out of my house!"

"Found one wet man here, Captain, over!" he reported.

"Found another wet man here." another staff captured a man jogging.

Eventually, all wet men were brought to the deck, and Charon inspected them all.

"None of them are wet enough!"

Meanwhile, Joren wore his shirt after carrying Kidrith at the opposite edge of the town.

"Wow…" Kidrith looked and was already amazed by the simplicity of the port town. Joren, on the other hand, was trying to remember where the gate was. Carrying Kidrith again, he jumped and quickly arrived at the roof of a tall building.

"You saw that?"

"What?"

"A man just jumped so high he reached there." a local pointed, but another just laughed.

"Alright, alright, you're drunk."

"No, I saw him!"

Atop the building, Kidrith wrapped her arms around Joren's torso, thinking he must be cold, and now, they are standing on a breezy peak.

Noticing this, Joren tightened his hold on her. He wasn't cold at all, but maybe, she's projecting it to him, and she's the one who was cold here.

"There, I think that's where we came from."

Joren pointed at the dark cave. When Ness pulled him, she was so fast that Joren could only see the surroundings shifting. He didn't even know that there was a town here.

Feeling sure about the palace, Joren dropped from the roof and landed where the two drunks were just passing by. It seemed that they went around the building for some reason.

"It's him!"

"Hahaha, you're so drunk. You're making me hallucinate too."

Ignoring the two drunks, Joren made a run for it. From the cruise ship, Garas saw Joren's figure, and using the binocular-like wet meter device, which is exclusive to Charon, he found, "Oh, he's not that wet."

"Captain, let's just ask the UnderWorld how it was stolen. There, we will know who the culprit is." Garas suggested.

"Alright, since we already got my boat and the coke that the Lord requested, we shall now depart. Also, stop picking your nose!"

"Yes, Sir!"

…

"We're out!!!"

Several minutes later, Joren jumped out of the cave. Kidrith's eyes shone upon seeing the blue sky and the big ball of fire within it.

"This… this is so amazing…" she gasped.

Joren put Kidrith down and just smiled at her fascination. Taking her hand, he led her to where the gate is.

"This thing here will bring us to my place. All I just need to do is swipe my card…" Joren froze up.

"What?" Kidrith asked.

"I… I left it in the cruise ship weeks ago when I first arrived at the UnderWorld."

"Really?" Kidrith then laughed while leaning over to Joren.

"Sorry…"

"No, it's fine. I just thought that you make mistakes too."

"I make a lot of mistakes though." Joren raised an eyebrow while his shoulders were dropped.

"Okay…" Kidrith just giggled.

"Ah, you're just so cute!"

Joren pinched her cheeks before kissing her. While their tongues entertwined, the teleportation gate lit up and opened. Came out from it was a horse with a horn on its head. Furthermore, it also wore teacher's uniform and glasses.

It was a unicorn, or more specifically, it's the homosexual, Jack.

"J-Joren?"

Joren immediately removed his lips and looked at Jack.

"Sir Jack!" he happily said.

"You're really Joren!?"

Jack who already stood up and spread his forelegs, expecting a hug, disappointingly dropped down.

"Yes, it's me!"

"It is you!" Jack stood on his hind legs once more to expect a hug but Joren didn't move from his spot. The unicorn was disappointed again, "And… who's this woman you're making out with?" he suspiciously said.

Kidrith stepped forward and introduced myself.

"You must be from the famous race of horses… what's that called."

"The homosexuals?" Jack bitterly replied.

'I'm from the great race of homosexuals, standing on the same league as phoenixes and dragons. This girl lacks respect! Who does she think she is!?'

"Yeah? I thought it starts with uni or something but okay. My name's Kidrith, a Half-Fury. I came from the UnderWorld and was brought here by Joren." Kidrith professionally hid her embarrassment as they were just caught kissing. She's still the head maid through and through.

If Jack wasn't someone Joren knows, she wouldn't be putting up a somewhat polite tone and smile in speaking with him.

Meanwhile, Jack thought that he must've heard wrong.

"A Half-what?"

"A Half-Fury."
