"What do you mean?"
"B-Bould are you okay."
"Julius you are fine?"
"Uhh my head." The burly man shook his head.
"I'm fine, what about you? Is there anything amiss?"
"No, I feel fine. What about you Bob?"
"I'm good, weren't we just killed?"
"Hohoho, now what do you say Julius. Isn't it time you kowtow to Elise three times and accept her as master."
"You...I Mean supreme ancestor, you have truly opened my eyes. I Julius was called useless and I'm far inferior to my brothers. If you can grand me strength, I'm willing to follow you to death."
He was already on his knees to kowtow when he was hold up by Bould.
"You can't do that Julius. Think of your status."
Julius pulled away from Bould's grip.
"Bould, you idiot. He is the one who killed you and brought you back to life. You should thank him for sparing your life."
"Julius this..."
"Don't worry let bygones be by gones, everyone is alright, that's what matters in the end right?"
"Master speaks reason." Elise nodded to herself.
"Now that you mention it, I feel great. I feel like I could uproot trees as if were mere sticks."
"Hohoho. Of course since I felt a bit regret killing you juniors I gave you a little gift."
" I don't know Bould this guy seems trust worthy." Said Bob while he checked out his body."
"Yes, you can trust this old man. I even let all you join my sect. You will get access to my resources and will become dragon amongst men. However you juniors need to need to pass a test first. Can't have one think that this old man is giving life changing gifts out for free."
"So what about me? What power did you gave me?"
"Yes I wonder too." Bob wanted to know too.
Julius looked at me and in his eyes a fierce fire was burning. Since I saw his memories I could guess what he was thinking.
Even thought he was a prince he was always overshadowed by his brothers. He had already given up on achieving greatness and live the rest his life in peace.
"Of course I also made some modification to your body."
I told Bould that he was not a normal human anymore, he became half man half sword. His other form was that of a sword. From now on he was not able to eat or drink like normal people. He had to rely on swords to feed and get stronger.

Bould was now in his humanoid form. In this form he looked no different from normal people.
Bould's face turned green when he heard that he became a monster. I had to admit that his change was a bit over the top. He should be happy though, maybe I should also became half sword half man.
To make Bould feels a bit at ease I handed him a sword I created from a D ranked monster core. It was a sliver sword with blue lining.
"Try it, you will notice that handling swords will be like second nature to you. That's the benefit of being half sword half man."
Bould with the sword in his swung out without hesitation. The sword flashed in several streaks. The strikes of Bould seemed ordinary at first glance but there was a deep profoundness in his strikes. This profoundness even pressured me.
"This?!"
Bolus's face changed greatly, joy spread on his face. He looked at his sword and praised it.
"Good sword. That reminds me where are my twin swords?"
"Ah, you mean your trash? I was already carrying your corpse. You can't expect me to touch your swords, they were riddled with filth and sweat."
"Well whatever who cares about those old things. Julius, I have no doubts this esteemed one is a man of his words and a dragon amongst us puny mortals."
Bould turned to me and bowed deeply.
"I don't know you background esteemed one. Esteemed one is only a child yet esteemed one has heaven defying powers.
"Esteemed one is able to turn beast cores in to magical items and bring back dead people. Such feat this one has only heard it from the legends. Since Julius is willing to join esteemed ones sect,I can only feel happy."
I couldn't help but nod and smile this guy had acted to my liking.
"You can stop calling me esteemed one, call me ancestor or martial uncle."
His face still looking down he continued.
"Maybe following you is not such a bad idea. You gave me such great power. Even though I lost all my former power and have to start from scratch, this body has much more potential. I'm confident that I can reach complete sword mastery in two years."
"W-What?" Bob and Julius exclaimed at the same time their faces showed disbelief and shock.
"Is that true?" Julius held Bould by the shoulder and shook him. His face revealing great excitement.
I could understand their reaction. Reaching complete sword, mastery only a few people attained such legendary stage.

A D ranked swordsman who reached complete sword mastery could kill ordinary C ranked enemies.
Swordsman who reached complete sword mastery where called sword masters. In the two years I obtained information on most of this worlds affairs. I didn't give a shit thought.
I would build me a huge sect in these mountains and gather my strength. To take over this world deep scheming and a lot of imagination was needed.
I didn't know the heights of the heavens in this world. In my old world there, was no magic. The scariest things that could threaten you was unsaturated fats and guns. If in this world someone were to spit out fire spells out of his ass I wouldn't be surprised.
When I am strong enough I will make this world mine. When everyone would become my subject. I could gain infinite wealth that I could convert into great strength. I needed to reach god hood quick, only then could I be truly free.
"Well then lets wrap things up you three juniors kowtow three times to martial aunt Elise. Hurry up we need to build our sect immediately."
- - - -
We arrived at the mountain foot. This mountain range was called Velen Mountains it enshrouded the whole kingdom of Bevel.
I had to say, everything went better than expected. I have really profited this times. Items, I could crate a lot, but living beings who were loyal couldn't be crated so easily.
These kids showed me their dedication when they kowtowed with such resolution that their heads banged against ground.
"We arrived?"
"Is this where martial uncle wants to build our sect." Julius asked while he stared up the mountains, he was awed by the sight.
"Hohoho, of course. Watch this."
With my remaining right hand I touched the mountain. I closed my eyes and imagined a big cave.
I hollowed out the the whole mountain to create living space. The height of the mountain was about 4000 m so I had a nice ceiling.
"Let's go in."
The three kids and even Elise mouth where agape. They stared in shock for brief moment before they regained their senses.
Julius exhaled.
"Supreme ancestor reigns supreme."
"Of course this is nothing for master." Elise chuckled, joy and reverence emitted out of her chesnut brown eyes.
"Let's go in."
"Yes" the three answered at the same time.
I casted a illumination spell. It was something I picked up while practicing light magic. I shit on these worlds magic spells. For me they were worthless. Only original spells where cool enough or really strong god level spells.
As if I would chant to cast any spells. If the chant for the spell were to be in an ancient language, I would consider. I didn't want to spout some embarrassing shit, it reminded me of the days were I did Larp. A part of my former life I rather wanted to forget.
"This place is huge. Are we gonna build our sect here?" Bob's voice cracked from excitement as he asked.
"Yes, this place is where we will surpass the heavens. As sect leader I have to make something clear. From now on every disciple is required to aim for godhood. I don't care how long it will take. I can extent your strength and life as I wish, so don't worry. You juniors don't have to worry about anything and abide by the sect rules."
"W-What ancestor knows how to reach godhood?"
"Hah, wasn't I always a man of my words. Can it be you have doubt in my abilities?" I showed a displeased face to Julius.
"No, no this junior wouldn't dare."
"Yes, your grace brought us back from the back. I'm sorry for offending ancestor in my earlier life. This life ancestor gave me I will only dedicate it for ancestors ." Said Bould.
"Good, good, good." I couldn't help it and said good three times.
"Master hurry and build your sect thing. I can't wait." Elise couldn't hold still. She seemed excited.
"Heheh, my sweet disciple give me about five bags of beast cores."
"Yes, yes." Elise tossed the beast core bags in front me.
Two years had taught me a lot about my powers. Besides the time I trained the seeds power, I also had practiced my converting ability.
In my two years of practice I had come to a shocking discovery. Converting materials in to technological items took very litte beast cores. That was why I had decided to make a huge ass fort with technological rekt. It was a wise decision to save so much beast cores over the years.
"This one hereby establishes the Profound Heaven Sect."
I begun converting the bag of beast cores. My first step to world domination started here.

I'm going to do my best to find out! -NOTE: This story is MATURE, and such has graphic fight scenes, blood and gore. Also cursing. Quite a bit of that in some cases. Sex may also be involved. -NOTE: Like my other story, UO is a work in progress. The storyline, characters, and other things are still in the drafting stages. Also, excuse my spelling and grammar errors!
8 86The Ancient One
The Alteric Empire was vast and powerful. Their borders reached to all coasts of the continent, and their banner swayed in the wind of every town. Their knowledge on magic was second to none, and their firm grasp of combat trained highly skilled warriors. Their enemies trembled at their approach, and their friends feasted their arrival. The Orcs, and the Dwarves, were conquered, and given equal rights as their Human Overlords. For thousands of years they reigned supreme, and peace and prosperity was abundant throughout the continent. The arrival of the Elves shattered that. Led by their so called "Great One", they invaded the empire. Elves fell in droves, hundreds, then thousands, then hundreds of thousands, but the empire lost ground. In a last attempt to defeat the Elves, the Crown Prince was sealed away, with the hope that one day he would be awoken in an time where the Elves can be stopped. Without the prince, the Elves lost less and less soldiers with each attack, until the Empire crumbled. After thousands of years of occupation, Humanity is no more. There are only elves, orcs, and dwarves, and humans have been forgotten by most. Hundreds of thousands of years later, a young elf will stumble across an ancient secret, and the Elven Empire will shake in it foundations. For the Ancient Being awakes, and he brings doom.
