Fun and Games

I laid down on my bed. I had finally arrived at the human world. A wash of relief floods me.
I looked around the room, this was different than my room in the underworld while my room in underworld would be considered classier, this was more modern.
The year right now in human world was 2000. I had many opportunities; I could use during this time.
I even had a smart phone for me. Since, technology in Underworld far surpassed Human World, the Devilnet has been a thing for past ten years or so but there was no other major breakthrough like there was nothing like Facebook or Instagram. Oh Shit!
I just realized, since there is nothing like Instagram or Facebook or Twitter. Devinet only functioned like Twitch and YouTube combined so does not it mean an open market for me to utilize?
And I had to realize something like this after I came to human word?
But in all honesty, I was training day in and day out.
And it's still not enough. I had to continue training.
[Storage Magic]
I took out the book that Ajuka gave me-
Reading one of the chapters-
'Analysis on Magic Circles'
I soon started reading one of the extracts, the one I found most interesting-
--
Runes are the foundation upon which all Magic Circles are built, acting as the core scripts that define the spell's function. A Magic Circle is not just an intricate design but a structured sequence of Runic inscriptions, arranged in geometric patterns to regulate the flow of magic. Each rune carries a specific meaning and power, and when combined in precise formations, they create spells that can range from simple fireballs to complex teleportation arrays. Without runes, a Magic Circle is nothing more than an empty frame, devoid of meaning or magical energy.
Most devils today focus solely on mastering Magic Circles, refining their structures and enhancing their efficiency. However, true mastery of spellcasting goes beyond memorizing pre-designed formations—it requires an understanding of the very essence of magic: the Runes. A magician who understands Magic Circles can cast pre-existing magic, but one who comprehends Runes can create new magic, breaking past the limitations of conventional spellcasting. Only by deciphering the ancient meanings behind these symbols can a devil step beyond the rigid formulas of modern sorcery and grasp the true nature of magic itself.

'Runes huh'
Magic is really complex in this version; in the anime it was just imagination but here there is memorization and imagination needed along with many other things. The use of Magic Circle and how clan traits work also is kind of mentioned here.
There were the basic examples of Runes and understanding of them as I studied them more. I felt more exhausted. It was hard.
As I studied more, I was understanding and comprehending the nature of Spells and Magic.
BLINK
I looked at my desk, there was clear white crystal ball there and it glowed a dim red.
'It's time to head out for a while'
I had ordered my Knight to inform me after the usual training session is over. I did partake in their morning sessions, but I would usually skip out for the evening sessions to study magic, yup I read a lot of books.
I looked outside the window. The sun had already start to set casting a yellow hue in the sky.
I changed my outfit, no longer wearing the noble outfits I had grew accustomed to. Now, I wore plain gray trackpants, a white t-shirt and a black hoodie over it.
I had the obsidian ring that Zekram Bael had given me. To call this ring useful would be an understatement of the century. This ring had one major feature and one minor feature.
The minor feature was it worked like gravity seals; it could place user from 1.5 to 30x Gravity.
Yes, it was just the minor feature. I am right now on three times the gravity.
The major feature was that it allows oneself and the one the person chooses given that they have some sort of connection that binds them like Master-Familiar contract or Master-Servant (Peerage) connection to hide from supernatural.
Not hide but no supernatural presence up to Low-Ultimate will be able to detect anything supernatural from the user of this ring.
Yes, this was the gift of Great King. He was truly a benevolent man.
[Teleportation Magic]
My casting of teleportation magic had gotten faster and better as I teleported in front of the gate.
I saw my two peerage members waiting for me. Garp-My Rook and Yato-My Knight.
They both had no Spellcasting experience but still managed to learn [Transformation Magic] and [Storage Magic] although they struggled a lot.
They both wore normal dress suitable for human world.
I also used [Transformation Magic] to make my head hornless.
"How was your two's training?" I asked my Knight and Rook.
"I beat him!" Garp declared proudly, an ever-present smile on his face. Yato turned his head to look at Garp.
"You beat me? You could not even touch me." Yato said with a grin on his face.
'I knew what this would escalate into.'
"Stop it. You two! You know what our main objective is in this town, right?"
They both nodded.
"Let's head out."
I called out to my shadow, my familiar-Umbra.
"Stay here and guard this place."
Umbra nodded "Yes Master!"
He had grown quite large now towering above me. He crouched down and I patted his head and we three moved down to the city area.
Our mansion was built in the outskirts of Kuoh Town inside the forest of Kuoh Town. The forest was supposed to be a haunted area and there was nothing here. We had already placed some few wards here and there so no worries about some human coming here unintentionally.
"So, Lord. Where will we go first?"
I heard Yato's voice.
"Let's hit up the Game Center."
I said, yeah let's have some fun before doing anything else. Both my Knight and Rook had stars in their eyes.
"Let's go." Garp happily cheered a smile on his face and Yato also had a huge smile. Seeing these kids smile also placed a smile on my face.
'I was definitely not excited.'
...We have been playing for three hours straight.
The neon lights and vibrant energy was fun. We had been playing 'Street Fighter 3rdStrike' for two hours now. Rotating and playing.
And honestly, I sucked at this game. I had never really played this game, and it was the same case for Garp and Yato, but they learned it quickly and I am continuously the one loosing.
"Hahahaha. It seems thereare somethings that even our Lord can't do."
Garp laughed at me, but I was no sore looser who would get angry just a little trash talk but still-
'I will kill him at tomorrow's spar.'
.
...
"Let's go take a photo!" I said to two 'winners' here. There were photobooths here and we entered the booth, took some photos and left.
"Human World is the best." Yato declared as we walked through the not so busy night street. Garp nodded and said-
"Yeah, humans are stupid. We don't have to pay for anything."
Yup, we left without paying. I used a bit of my fear and a bit of mind manipulation to effectively brainwash a few people.
"Let's go scout few places." I said to them, and they nodded. We scouted all the places where we felt traces of energies.
Among them the most was obviously coming from the church but there were few other places that also had a bit of energies. We found a place where local Yokai were living.
"I think-
"We should-
I completed them
"Just think about it tomorrow."
"Yeah" Both of them said and I nodded.
"Yeah."
