The Entrance To Hell

Cassius Pov

I don't know what happened exactly but it looks like I've won, the result was never in doubt. As my mana gradually trickles to empty and fatigue sets in. 'Uh, my body feels a thousand times heavier. I wonder how long I would have lasted if not for my unlimited stamina, guess the effects of fatigue do not disappear of battle.'

'It seems that I have picked up something useful.' "Hmm cousin Ares it seems that my tactics have been turned into skills" I said after catching my breathe

"You will refer to me as master during your training, and you will need all the skills in your disposal to complete my course" Ares said flashing an evil smile "You may want to say you goodbyes to your mother, you may not be seeing her for a while.

As I walked over to my mother, I took a minute to gather my thoughts. A lot had happened in the course of two game days. I had been just going along with the events as they happened and couldn't find any time to think. God race has a lot of advantages, but it wouldn't be a applicable race if all it had where perks. Everyone would want to be a god and the game would be giving an unfair advantage to the rest of its players. I know that there has to be a downside, so I have to gain as many abilities as possible to counteract that downside.

My mother seems to have regained her composure as I reached her position at the corner of the room. "Congratulations sweetheart, you seem to have gained Ares' interest. He's an outstanding teacher, but always moody when there are no wars going on. Your skill in Archery seems very advanced, probably to the point of a high level mortal ranger. I recall that rangers copied many styles from the original Kothari." Mother remarked with a smile

'Hmm, more information about my class. Interesting.' "Oh, by the way. Mother how did you change the atmosphere of the room like that, I'm curious?" I asked honestly

Mother looked slightly puzzled "I haven't told you yet, I'm sorry sweetheart. It slips my mind from time to time that you are still young"

'Not really' I thought

"I am the goddess of the home. That means all places of rest are under my control. This trait has allowed me to keep my freedom. How would you feel if every time you tried to sleep or rest, you would be attacked by your very home? Now imagine if you immortal and that happens for all eternity." She questioned expectantly.

I gulped, any normal person would quickly be driven to madness.

"ku ku kuh, even the major gods such as Ares know that it's not wise to anger me." My mother laughed

'Yep, its official mother is scary."

"Also mother I picked up this skill, but I'm not sure what it does" I explained

"Show Ancient Runes to Hestia"

Ancient Runes

They say the ancients left many memories of the past in there runes. Only the gods and powerful creates can still remember how to decipher them, but most if not all have forgotten.

I looked up to see mother sporting a look of astonishment, "I knew my little savior was born to do great things, but never this outstanding. These runes came from the beginning of time, before even the titans. They were created by the great mother Gaia. These runes come from understanding and gain mastery over all things understood and yet to be explained. I couldn't possibly translate this but your next tutor might be able to." She said in awe.

"We'll talk about this later sweetheart, now you have bone shattering training to complete" Mother smiled brightly

'Scratch that, she isn't just scary but evil'

With a final hug, she once again waved her hand and shimmered out of existence. I turned back to Ares only to find that his home had been transformed into a dungeon looking storehouse.

"Alright brat you will be with me for two weeks. In those two weeks we will train in three parts. For the first five days we will break and heal your body continuously, until it transforms into an entity that cannot be easily broken. Usually this would be done with continuous training on every part of your body, but since we don't have time for that I will be taking out my frustration on your weak frail body. The second part of your training will be continuous sparring. Gods, every one of them, can fight. They each have their own style that fits them and it grows as they do. Yes, I know you've heard the term grow repeatedly, but that's how gods develop. I will be targeting your weak points and your style will grow as you become more accustomed to battle. Last, but not least we are going to train your skills, this will by far be the most difficult training. You will have to fight against an opponent that is the exact opposite of you, and defeat its skill sets. This method will teach you new ways to utilize your skills in new ways. Finally you will face me at full power, if you can survive for five minutes I will consider your training complete. Are you sure you want to continue?" Ares explained.

Quest:

Hell's training

We thoroughly recommend that you don't attempt this course. No one would judge you.

Rewards for Completion: Familiarity with Ares god of War increase

Skills, Stats, and Experience

Penalties for Failure: Nothing, mercy is offered

'What's with this ominous quest window' "I am ready for the challenge" I replied confidently

Quest Accepted

Before I could even close the window Ares sped toward me. He hit me with a punch that felt like a two ton weight. A sharp pain exploded in my chest, I'm not sure but I think my lungs have collapsed.

"Really now?" Ares questioned with an evil grin. "Well that's yet to be decided, isn't it?"
