《A king's reincarnation》Chapter 5: God of war vs. King of humanity
Advertisement
"From the west gate, A God of unparalleled might, the most feared High ranking god, One who loves to bathe in the blood of his enemies. The Mighty God of War, Alvion!!"
"It seems like it already started." I muttered to myself as I prepared for my cue.
Loud cheers were both heard from the east and west side. All of the humans and gods who idolizes the God of war were roaring their support.
"And from the East gate, The human challenged by the mighty God of war, The otherworlder summoned by the Gods to send to Greis. ummm, rena, what achievements does he have again?"
"Don't ask me, this human just came in today so I didn't have any time to gather his information."
"𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓***? 𝑎𝑡 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑡𝑟𝑦 𝑡𝑜 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑢𝑝 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑚! 𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑠" I thought to myself in annoyance.
"oh, here it is, sorry for the wait everyone! so his achievements are..."
The announcer suddenly stopped her words, and I already found out why, just from seeing the God of space's expression.
"Lena? what's wrong?"
"ummm this person...H-He k-killed around 138million of his own brethren."
"𝑌𝑢𝑝, 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑠 𝐼 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑡"
Once again silence engulfed the entire arena. And all of a sudden, voices of shock from the east side rang out.
I could hear the Gods cursing at me. Well, I don't care if they do, it's not like I'm ashamed of it anyways.
"From the East gate, let's welcome. Lucas!"
"𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡'𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑐𝑢𝑒."
I walked out of the room. Dressed in a black polo, white neck tie, black vest, with a black blazer worn like a cape with both my hands at the pockets of my pants. I stepped into the battlegrounds.
At this moment, the East side where the Gods are and where I came out of was already silent and waiting for my appearance.
But when the humans of the west saw my silver white hair, with my signature attire, and my crimson colored eyes, their clamoring immediately stopped.
After 3 seconds, all the humans on the west stood up and suddenly knelt in one knee, there was no one who was left sitting. All of them knelt and shouted.
"It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty, Lucas. King of humanity!"
The voices of the humans were in perfect sync as if it was rehearsed. I was surprised for a bit as I didn't expect these people to know about me. After all, some of them even looked like those people from the 60s to 80s.
The entire arena is now silent, no voices could be heard, only the distant echoes of the humans' voices.
"Y-Your majesty!?" Gabriel who was at the East side, munching on popcorns was wide eyed as he didn't expect this kind of development. His jaws almost dropped to the ground.

"R-Rena!? what is this!? what's happening?"
The announcer who was confused and surprised suddenly started shaking her twin for answers.
"I-I don't know!!"
At that moment, almost all of the gods were left speechless. They didn't expect this kind of development at all.
A shadow appeared at the room of the announcers and gave the twins a stack of papers.
"T-this, just what kind of human is this!?"
Rena's voice was heard throughtout the entire arena because of the voice amplification magic.
"K-king of humanity, Lucas, 18 years old!? Born in a country called japan, Parents died when he was still 6 years old, Killed 138 million criminals and corrupted leaders. Earth's very own God of War!?" Maybe because of the surplus of surprises, Rena, the God of Time fainted.
"R-Rena? Rena!? Oi wake up! I can't do this work by myself!" The God of space called out to her twin in an attempt to wake her up, But to no avail, she didn't wake up.
"A-anyways, everyone! since my sister fainted, I'll be handling this on my own, please lend Lena here your support!!"
...
"I didn't expect my opponent to be a king, hahaha, you humans really are full of surprises!" Alvion said to me while laughing.
"I now understand the reason behind those ridiculous amount of killings. Normally, I would've judged you to be worthy already, but since we came this far already, let's just fight it out and give the people a good show. I'm also curious how powerful the King of humanity is! Don't worry, I will only use 50% of my abilities, I won't exceed that number."
"Same here, please entertain me. But, a piece of advice. I suggest you fight me with your all. I wouldn't want this fight to end in a one-sided massacre" I replied in a calm tone
"Hoh? I like your attitude. Very well, let this God of War kill you in just 1 second!"
At that moment, Alvion released a huge amount of killing intent which made most of the audience tremble in fear. Gods were no exception.
But I just stood there calmly. It's not that it doesn't affect me, the killing intent is strong, but mine is much more stronger than his. And I'm still far superior in terms of combat. Why? because I can sense it.
The God of war, Alvion... Doesn't know how to use Ki.
"That's not how you show your opponent your killing intent." I spoke in a calm manner with a light smile on my face.
"Oh? why don't you show me then?" Alvion, who looked a little annoyed at my words urged me to show him.
"With pleasure." I replied as I closed my eyes. And when I opened them, A huge amount of bloodlust bursted out from me. Its strength and density is 4 times stronger that those of the God of war's.

"W-what the f*** is this!?" Alvion, whose eyes almost went black due to the pressure said in a surprised tone.
My bloodlust enveloped the entire arena, completely subduing Alvion's killing intent. But I made it so that only the Gods and not the humans will feel it.
Most of the Gods watching us were clearly terrified by my bloodlust, some of the supposedly lower ranking ones even fainted.
I quickly retracted my bloodlust and looked at the God of war who had a terrified look on his face.
"W-what are you.." Alvion said with a stuttering voice.
"King of humanity, that's all I am." I replied nonchalantly.
"Haha..HAHAHAHA! This is amazing! to think that I met someone who could almost bring me down to my knees due to bloodlust! Moreover, a human! This is gonna be good!" Said Alvion with a look of ecstasy on his face.
The announcer's stuttering voice rang out.
"Remember, the moment one of you uses any kind of magic, it will be detected by the orb at that tower. The participant that broke the rule will be disqualified immediately and the victory will automatically go into the opponent. Well then, God of war, Alvion vs. King of Humanity, Lucas. Battle, START!"
"D-dear, that's our son! w-why is he here!? Did our son die? how!?" Said the woman as she anxiously gripped the hem of her husband's shirt.
""I-I don't know, but I'm sure that he's still alive, since the announcer said that he was summoned."
"B-but still, he's facing the God of War right now! there's no way he can survive this! It's a god!"
"D-Don't worry, let's just trust in him. They said that he's gonna be sent to another world right? I'm sure that they won't let him die just like that." Replied the man as he comforted her wife who is now trembling and crying.
...
"Lucas-dono is a king? hahaha, that man really gives me, the God of wisdom a lot of surprises, it looks like something interesting is gonna happen in Greis sooner or later." Said Gabriel as he snacks on his popcorns while watching intensely as the battle below unfolds.
"Let's bet! how many minutes will this human last?"
"I bet 500,000 that he won't last more than 10 minutes!"
"700,000! This guy will only last for 4 minutes."
"600,000 for 2 minutes."
The betting on the side of the Gods started and there and many gamblers participated.
"10,000,000, I bet on that human. He will defeat Alvion in 10 seconds."
A woman's voice rang out on the east side. When the spectators looked at the source of the voice. And there, they saw the Yumi, the Goddess of life and death.
"Y-Yumi-sama? are you sure about this? it's the God of war you know?"
"Yeah, even without magic, he can bring down an entire mountain in 5 minutes."
The other gamblers tried to convince Yumi as she is one of the 13 supreme Gods and is their superior. So they wouldn't want her to lose money just because of a bet.
"Just proceed with it, this is my choice. If I lose then that's it." Said yumi with a confident tone in her voice.
"I-If you say so."
...
"START!"
The God in charge of hitting the giant gong slammed the huge bat into the gong
The giant gong rang, signaling the start of the match. Before the loud sound could diminish, I already disappeared from my position and reappeared at the front of Alvion instantly.
I used 70% of my abilities in this attack since my opponent is a formidable god.
In an instant, my right fist was only 2 inches away from Alvion's face. I could see his pupils constricting slowly as he tried to use both his arms to block my punch. But before he could move his slow arm, my fist already conected with his face. His face caved in as my Ki infused attack hit the bridge of his nose.
BANG!*
A loud bang was heard from the battlegrounds as a figure flew out from the cloud dust in high speeds and finally slams into the wall, creating a huge crater.
Silence*
The entire arena was silenced as the event was just too fast for their eyes to handle. Most of them thought that the match was over and I was already dead from the God of war's instantaneous attack.
The clouds of dusts at the wall with a huge crater and the center of arena finally subsided. But what they saw shocked them to their core.
They saw me at the center of the arena, my right arm still streched out while my red eyes looked cold and ruthless that it sent chills down everyone's spine.
What shocked them the most was the person pinned onto the wall with a deformed face full of blood. It was the God of war that they idolized. His face was full of blood and his breathing and pulse were weakening.
The expectators didn't expect this kind of result at all. They thought that I was the one who was eliminated, but it seems as if reality pulled a prank on them and the opposite of the expected result happened.

The Way Ahead
What do you do when you don't fit in? Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He didn't really need it, anyway. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe... not that there were many left to find. Modern-day research was just too well-established, too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make any significant headway. But that doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate much of society with little room for novel experimentation from its residents. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. Things are never that easy, though. The Way Ahead is a very slice-of-life story following the story of someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips by the System, and lots of exploration involving the world, self-discovery, and above all, science. After all, further research is always required. Updates every other day at 9 AM PST. Congratulations! For writing a story during the month of November, you have unlocked the Royal Road Writathon Participant path!

AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading!

8 213Homecoming | A Chronicles of Ascension Story
When Jethen was captured by slavers, his childhood was torn from him and left shattered half a world away. When he finds himself back home decades later, by methods he does not fully understand, he finds that the life he has lived has changed him far more than he knew. In a home he no longer knows. Places and people at the same time familiar and foreign, he must decide - stay and help with his parent's business, or return to the land that remade him and the family he made there. --------- Homecoming started as just a short story to break an episode of writers block. It has since morphed well beyond that into a novel in it's own right, and may well end up with a sequel. The writing of Homecoming became a bit of a self induced challenge to improve my initial, first brush, writing quality. Each chapter was written raw, given a once over read and edit, and then posted. In this way I am forcing myself to write better from the start. I do hope you enjoy the story and will leave a comment or review, and if you see an issue, feel free to let me know as well. I know it is not nearly perfect, and it will get a full and proper edit once I am done. Never hurts to fix things along the way though. As an additional note. The story has undergone a structural rework and has been reposted in an updated structure and sequence of chapters. If you have read this story already, I invite you to do so again in this new structure.
