The sun poured out its brilliant hot oranges and reds into the horizon like a pot of molten lava.

Boiling hot, I felt my sweat dripping down my face as I push myself down, then back up again.

Counting how many push ups I done.

I think I was roughly at three hundred and four push ups.

But I need to do twice the amount of that to reach up to my average amount of working out in a day.

While I kept on counting the number of push-ups I'm doing, I heard a voice coming from the door next to me.

As the door opened wide, a beautiful young girl that told me we have met in our past life.

Spoke to me and told me,

"Yuu come quickly. The fight for the next God Of War is about to begin!"

She said with such excitement in her eyes.

"Coming Yui. Just give me a moment, I'm nearly done with my exercise."

"What if I told you the biggest fight is happening today?"

"Who, what, when and now?!"

I said not realising what today is.

"Have you forgotten? The biggest fight in history in Heaven is about to begin. And I know If I didn't tell you, you would get mad at me."

She said as she turn her background, and started to blush.

"Are you blushing?"

I said while I wipe the sweat off my face and put on my shirt.

"You know, no wants to see you half naked! Not saying I wouldn't mind staring at that nice big boulder of muscles you got there."

"Sorry, I didn't get what you said near the end of your sentence."

"Don't worry about what I said, okay?!"

"..Okay. Anyways, thanks so much for telling me, Yui. Now come let's watch it together!"

I said grabbing Yui's and making my way to the Tv.

"Please Yuu. Never leave me again because I don't know what I will do without you."

Yui said in her head

Volume 1 Chapter 1- The Next God Of War

This is the year 967, the year where history was made.

Watching live on TV where I witness two people, standing from opposite sides between one another.

They slowly walked out of an empty, mysterious, underground pass way full of darkness, but a bit of light near the end.

Loud noises started to increase each step they took.

As they take a deep breath before taking a step forward closer to the light.

Their heart starts beating faster as their body gets heavier each step they took.

Calling out their sword, their chest opened wide with their weapon appearing out of it.

Prepared for battle, they started to up their pace. Within seconds, the brightness at the end of the tunnel had widened.

And they have finally made it into daylight...

Even though I'm not there to witness such glory of a fight that is about to commence.

I can hear crowd yelling uncontrollably from an unbelievable distance away from the stadium.

Watching both of the angels staring at each other, directly in the eyes.

You can feel the intense amount of energy building inside of them.

While they star at each another. One of them took a deep breath and said,

"Azazel, sorry to have to tell you this, but the throne for the God Of War is mine, and mine alone."

"Keep telling yourself that, Ares. Don't forget the one who beat you the last matchup we had."

"Ha, that match was more of luck than skill, Azazel. And I will prove it to you once I beat you."

"And how exactly will you beat me, Ares?"

"Let me demonstrate it to you since that small mind of yours can't tell the difference between strong and stronger."

Ares picked up a rock from the sand, then point his finger at Azazel while breaking the rock in pieces with his sheer force of strength alone.

"Oh wow, you're able to break a rock and move. At least you proving not to be disabled, but too bad that rock of yours would be an example of how I'm going to crush you during our battle. With that strong pride of yours, you better prove to me you're not just all talk than action."

The God Of Wind, raising his hand up and making everyone go silent.

The two fighters held their sword tightly while staring at Zeus' arm closely while waiting patiently for him to put his hand down for the fight to begin.

In a heartbeat when Zeus lowered his arm, their sword collided with one another with an intense swarm of wind from each blow they landed.

The audience's hair flew back from the wildly, uncontrollable pressure of the wind.

You can see the pure determination going through their eyes, as the adrenaline goes through my veins.

Imagine all of your hopes and dream going into one fight, how will they be able to recover if one of them lose?

The two fighters gripping their weapon hard and tightly like a teddy bear.

Never willing to let it drop, not even for a split second.

Far away in distance between one another. They took the opportunity they got to recover all their stamina.

Both of them breathing heavily, they couldn't afford to lose this fight.

Their sweat touching the ground, the fighters continued on battling each other.

Both of their sword glued onto each other, they looked at each other closely in the eye and said:

"Is this all you got, Ares? If so then you might as well quit while you still can because that throne has my name all written onto it."

"Don't worry, Azazel, this fight hasn't even started yet. Let me show you my true power if you're that desperate to lose already."

"Let's see if your power can compete with my own."

Azazel increasing his speed of attack, while pushing Ares back with the incredible speed and pressure onto Ares.

Azazel left a wide open on Ares, and uses that chance to quickly kick him in the stomach.

Sending Ares back, Azazel used his chance to charge up.

Ares not willing to let Azazel become stronger than him, he also uses his space to charge up.

Six golden, bright, beautiful, majestic wings, magically being summoned by their hosts.

Their wings dazzled with tiny yellow sparkles of particles falling on the ground.

The six indescribable wings appeared on the back of the angels, with a gracious golden ring, above their head.

Eminence power flowing inside them.

They couldn't hold the power flowing inside of them, so decided to take it out on to each other.

About to strike, the God Of Sea quickly created a water barrier to protect everyone from the level of destruction happening on the field.

Moving the speed of light with a sudden increase in power and abilities.

The fight began to get more and more interesting by the second.

The speed between the two fighter moving so fast. I can only see two colours, red and blue bashing it out.

The two fighters ready to finish their rivalry.

They stood opposite sides and began to charge up once more.

The audience turned quiet as they watched closely at the two warriors ready to finish their fight.

While the two fighters focus their power, I can see a small line of light appearing inside them, starting from the heart and linking up to all the other parts of their body.

Their power became visible from the outside as it beams brightly up in the sky, breaking the God Of Sea's water barrier.

Changing the atmosphere of Heaven and making it dark with lighting appearing, striking everywhere.

It shocked and feared the crowd with the level of power they had left inside of them.

Truly driven by the desire to become the next God of war, it inspired me to get involve and face strong opponents.

Twice as stronger as they are fighting now!

Their aura became so strong, a huge source of power went into the sky like a beacon.

Shining so bright that it could blind a mortal's eyes, it had no effect on the people in Heaven.

The two fighters closed their eyes as they dashed right at each other with all the might and power they had.

A close fight in terms of power and skills, only one could come out as a winner.

At that very moment, about to strike each other, it was clear who was going to win.

Ares making a small smirk on his face smile. He showed no sign of fear or being afraid.

Dust being left behind them as they both strike each other with their final blow. It was only a matter of time before one of them would fall.

The audience quiet, waiting for the winner to reveal himself.

Azazel fell on to the ground and didn't get back up.

Zeus looking at Poseidon, he said with a smirk on his face,

"Isn't that guy your highest, and strongest in command angel?"

"Strongest? You think I would allow such a weakling to dare set foot into my realm? He is nothing more of a joker for me."

Poseidon said as he stands up and disappeared from the stadium.

Azazel seeing Poseidon leave him, he whispered to himself before he passed out,

"Father, come back."

Ares smiling, claiming the spotlight. The crowd shouted wildly like a bunch of animals.

Crowned the new God Of War, he stands straight and still, saying while tears go down his face.

"Hope is a bright star in a hopelessly dark universe. Through light years of distance, the brightness fills our inner selves. Hope makes us smile on the inside as well as on the outside. Hope is not just an emotion, it is a promise that smiling and laughter are just around the corner. And as long as you have hope in yourself, anything is possible!"

With a speech worth remembering, he earned the title of God Of War.

From that day onward, he was the inspiration for over a hundred children.

The new God of War, Ares jumped with excitement. Setting a world record by remaining God Of War for over 30 years and still now.

I and myself alone. Will be the one to over throw him, and become the net God Of War!

This is a tale of ancient time where the Devil clan, God clan, Fallen Angel clan and the Human clan were divided in order to keep the world balance. In order to ensure the world's safety is nowhere close to danger. The God clan created a Tournament Of Gods, which is a competitive fight between angels in order to become a God. This was made in case a God dies or become weak over time. So in order to replace them, they use the points you gather from winning tournaments in order to decide who will be crowned the next God in Heaven.

Each God plays an important role in the world in order to keep peace and balance from evil. Now in the year 997, who will become the next God?

The opened window with air being released from it. The cold freeze of the wind, blowing at Yuu's face while his eyes are shut closed. Dreaming of a beautiful park where there is no noise or people go to be found...Too bad its beauty didn't last so long.
