“UUGHHH….”

I was blasted off and flew like a bullet because of the force. I rolled for some time before coming to a stop far away from the two trees.

There was a large patch of land around the trees and thankfully there weren't many obstacles around here. Those trees sure whip people hardly.

I felt like I had turned into meat paste with dust and mud everywhere on my body.

'am I dying?’

'Dying doesn't feel good. Damn that old man for giving me such a weak body.’

I opened my eyes slightly. It felt as if all of my ribs were broken. My legs aren't placed as they were supposed to. They were inverted.

'Fuck….’

I looked at the two malicious trees that had whipped me to oblivion. When I get my powers back, the first thing I would do will be to blast those trees into tiny pieces.

There seemed to be a statue near the trees. It looked like my nasty war loving aunt. It was supposed to identify people so they could enter the Demigod’s paradise.

'Damn nasty aunt!’

If only she had identified my existence I wouldn't be whipped!

The statue’s eyes seemed to glow for a second. Fuck I can't take it anymore. I stare at my aunt grudgingly before going into deep slumber.

“It's all because of you!”

Said someone while pointing at me.

“You are the one who caused this war!”

Said another while shouting at me.

“Was it just your apprentice or did you also help the evil dragon?”

Said someone with a look that said- I was waiting for you to mess up.

“Thousands of people died because of you!”

“My child!”

“My husband!”

People shouted their beloveds names while throwing objects at me with tears in their eyes.

'Why?’

'Why was I the only one being blamed?! Was it also not your fault?!’

People were shouting even more than before.

“HAAAAA!”

Light broke through my eyes while I woke up.

I got up reflexively.

“OUUUUHHH!! OUCH! AAHHHHH!”

“Don't move, all your ribs are in recovery and your legs are completely broken.”

“What?!”

The voice which sounded like an old man came into my ears.

“While treating someone you should say they are going to recover soon not how serious their injury is.” I said weakly.

The old man made me get up slowly while resting my back on a cushion

“here have some water.”

I took the glass from the old man and had everything he gave me.

At least my right hand was kinda fine.

After gulping down the water I looked at my surroundings. I was in a room that was made of wood completely. The room was very tiny (in terms of God). It had one table, one bed and some chairs here and there.

Everything was wood even the glass I drank water in.

“Where am I old man?”

“You have got quite the tongue young man! Haha haha. You're at the demigods paradise or what's known as demigods palace. This place….”

Before he could explain where I was I cut him off.

“Save the trouble old man, I need get to the witch and I need your help.”

The old man looked surprised and looked at me with curious eyes.

“You know about the witch?”

“Hmph this god knows many thing old fool. Things which you can't even comprehend!”

The old man looked at little troubled after I said that. Well you should be! After all I the great God should receive more hospitality.

“Umm… I see okay.”

He took out something from his pocket and whispered something that I couldn't hear.

“Oh yes … he's gotten up… yes I was taking care of him properly…. Yes he's fine but it'll take time to recover….. I think he received some brain damage though… yes it's quite serious … and he knows about the witch somehow.”

After sometime he came back to me.

“Oh, the headmaster of demigods paradise is going to arrive, remember to behave in front of him.”

He said while smiling at me.

What the fuck?! Me being polite?! Fuck you!

I was about to say something but a person entered this room interrupting my train of thoughts.

It was a well built man with two horns on his head. He wore a formal suit and looked like a old noble. Purple eyes which looked like an endless fog. He had an aura which shouted 'Noble!’ all around him.

“Headmaster!”

The old man quickly bowed while showing respect.

The guy with purple eye was Brook. A weird name for a weird guy

“Hmph Brook, you look well.”

For a moment Brook’s eyes showed shock. Probably because I knew his name.

But it reverted back to his cold look again. He waved with his hand signalling the old man to go out.

“Yes sir.”

The old man bowed respectfully before walking out again.

“Why are you here?”

It seemed like he already knew I was the great god Benza! Saves me the trouble to explain! This was another problem because he had eyes which were close to a god’s eyes.

And now that I was like… this.. this weak and smelly body, he could probably see through me in an instant.

He went straight to the point without any pleasantries so even I talked straight to the point.

“For a mission. My father sent me here. I don't have any powers left Brook and I don't know what the mission even is. I need you to help me find the witch. I promise when I get back my powers…..”

“Benza, gods promise a lot of things that they don't keep plus I don't need your promises. As for the location of the witch, I'll tell it to you but you won't be able to do anything even if you knew. The witch always stays at dangerous locations and given your current state you won't be able to find her.”

“Yes I know! And that is why I need your help, you have to get me some helpers!”

He looked at me strangely while squinting his eyes.

“Helpers? You mean the demigods? You will have to ask for help yourself.”
