A/N- Plot is kicking in now

Rivera, Gareth, Finn, Tiona, Tione, and Aiz were gathered in Loki's room.

Finn: I think we all know what I want to talk about today.

Gareth. Yes

Tiona: About Riku.

Rivera: Every day, he becomes more and more of a mystery. First with his unique skills and fighting styles, his origins, background. All of that is a mystery.

Finn: And the biggest of them all being how he managed to knock out Bete in 1 hit. I know he's level 6, but not even us 3 can defeat Bete with relative ease like that.

Rivera: And the worst part of this is that he's never here. We need someone to monitor him.

Tione: This wouldn't have happened if a certain someone was careful in letting people into the familia.

Loki: Hey, I'm innocent I tell ya. I don't know why I let him. I just did.

Finn: For now, it doesn't matter. But we need to get someone to spy on Riku. Bete would have been the best choice but as that happened, I think the best would be Aiz. Tiona and Tione would easily be caught by him and Rivera, Gareth, and I are busy with Familia affairs. So, Aiz, I expect you to track him down and keep an eye on him. I know he's part of the familiar but we can't erase the possibility that he's a threat.

Tiona: Hey, we can't call him a threat. He's a cool guy.

Tione: The captain called him a threat. I seem to agree with him.

Tiona: You agree with him for everything.

Rivera: Anyhow, I also agree with Finn. Riku is an unknown to us and the world. We can't seem to find any information on him. The more we know the better.

Finn: I think we should make Riku an executive. Hear me out. If he's given responsibilities, he'll be busy and have to stay at the manor more and more.

Gareth: True there. But I think he'll find any way to reject the offer.

Loki: Yep. From what I've seen, he'll do what he has to do but will probably avoid most stuff. He's a sneaky bastard.

Finn: Ais, I want you to find him. He's most likely in the dungeon so start from there.

I'm currently on the 17th floor. The goal is to wipe out the very few monsters that remain. Sadly there are little to no monsters here.

A monster called the Rinosarous lives on this floor. It's a bit weaker than a minotaur. One came charging at me.

Remember the fight with Bete.

Connect every nerve in my body, become one, become whole. Put everything into one area of the body.

Put everything on my left foot.

Waste no movements.

Put everything into one.

One move

One attack

One kick

An attack that can only seem like a shockwave, shook the 17th floor and below.

All adventures could feel the might that came from a single attack.

No magic

No enhancements

Just pure physical might

That is the strength of what is called the 'Recoiless kick'

"Did you feel that, Ottar"

"Yes my lady, that is the strength of one of true power"

"Fufu I think I know who it is. He's been someone on my mind these days. Actually, just recently, he's been gaining fame. Ottar, I want you to meet the adventure known as Riku."

"If that is what you wish my lady."

The monster that was there, and every monster on the floor, was obliterated.

What's this, a quest issued by the system.

And a key. What kind of key. Is it like the one to go to the Demon Caste?

But I thought the Goliath was slain not too long ago.

Alright, then Come out, my shadows.

Damn, I wanted to finish this quick.

A big monster, with dark skin and hair. 10 or so meter I'd say.

It was charging at me. It had a club.

This is stupid.

I put out my hand in front of me.

Lemme try this.

"8 thousand volts"

A spark of blue lightning came out of my hand, and then it evolved in a widespread blast of power.

"Ahrrrrr"

Only 10. Then I need to increase the voltage.

The monster ran at me and was swinging his club.

He swung it at my right. I put up my right arm to catch it.

I managed to grab it.

With force, I tried pulling it out of its grip.

I succeeded. After it as in my hands, I swung it at the Goliath's jaw.

The monster fell back. But that attack did little to hurt it.

I pulled out from the inventory.

I ran at the Goliath, at its side, It swung its arm at my midsection but I deflected it with the dagger, but I was pushed back a few steps. I then ran in the opposite direction to the back of the goliath.

I pushed the weapon up in the air, with an upward strike on its underarm.

"This weapon is better than I thought."

It managed to slice it off clean through.

I wonder if I can add this.

With Reijo's Blade in my hand, I infused lighting into the blade.

A type of aura now resigned in the weapon.

I jumped onto the monster. I was on the neck.

"Stop moving"

I planted the weapon into its nape.

The dagger went deep into its flesh.

The monster cried in pain.

This fight has been going on for a bit too long.

"1.3 million volts"

The weapon, already in the Goliath, now sent a wave of lighting into its internal structure. The lightning disintegrating every internal organ in its body at an extreme rate.

And then, it was gone.

I gained 5 levels from defeating this monster. Before I would have gained more exp but the stronger I grow, the harder it to level up. I'm now level 66.

A key was in my hand. Its color was that of a deep ocean blue.

So I just have to use it.

This is a big risk.

Who cares

"Activate Key"

Then in front of me, a mystic circle showed up.

No, it was a portal.

So this is an instant dungeon key.

I put one leg forward. And then another. And then my chest was inside. Until finally, my head entered the dungeon.

"Oahshshaad"

I cat say anything. I can't breathe. Wait...

This isn't land

This the god damn

I held my breath. I turned my head and saw several different monsters.

Actually, I saw Giant sharks, dolphins, hell even sea dragons.

These monsters easily outclass any monster in the dungeon mid floors.

"Well, who is this. We have a visitor"

Huh, who said that?

I sharpened my eyes and stared at the ocean. There, at the very end, I saw a man, a giant ma, he was sitting on a throne of pearls and ocean treasures.

But I can't breathe, so I can't say anything.

Is he Poseidon?

"I am Oceanus. Some may refer to me as the sea god."

Sea god? Isn't that Poseidon?

"Except they are very wrong. For as I am the Titan who rules over the sea. Poseidon cannot even compare."

But at this point, I was using my strength to swim in the water.

I used my weapon to slice open a couple of monster fish.

But in this water, I couldn't see all my sides.

My leg got caught by something.

More specifically, it was caught by someone.

A monster that can only be described as a Kraken, has caught my leg.

"Ahahhhhh"

Shit

What am I going to do?

"Rahaha feisty one here. They call you the 'Shadow Sovereign' I believe. It seems that a great sovereign can call upon his shadows to help him in a time of peril. Pathetic

Damn fucker. cant use my shadows in here either. The system hasn't removed that restriction.

This is bad

Really bad

Really damn bad

What am I going to do?

I'm missing a leg.

Currently, I'm on the 17th floor. I've been tasked with searching for Riku.

But I haven't been able to find him.

In fact, I can't see anything on this entire floor.

It's almost like the monsters were all wiped out.

And for some reason, they aren't regenerating.

It even seems that the walls that spawn monsters, isn't working.

Everything looked damaged beyond repair, but some places started to at least fix themselves.

I wonder where he is. Is he even lower down.

2 hours have passed in the instant dungeon.

Riku, who lost his left foot, seemed to be at death's door with no way to defend himself after being disabled.

That is what Oceanus thought.

But there is one thing that should not be done.

Doesn't matter if you're an elf, human, Edward, pallum, diety, or titan.

Never undermine the Sovereign of Shadows.

When Riku's foot was eaten by the monster, his leg was still in its mouth. Meaning a part of his body is in the monster.

Meaning, it can be attacked.

My leg is still in its mouth.

And the entire environment is water.

Perfect

4.5 million volts

I centered the lighting in the missing area where my foot should be. This missing area is still in the monster's mouth.

The lighting was shot inside the monster's body. Going right into its core. The water acting as a conductor to further strengthen the attack.

The monster died instantly.

5 million volts

7 million volts

9.9 million volts

I shot off multiple attacks of greater strength one after the other. The lightning being affected by the environment, killing multiple monsters.

I was breathing heavily.

Level 66 or no, those attacks take too much energy

Level 69 now.

Not enough. Need to cross-level 70. There's no way I can beat Oceanus if I don't.

Wait, that's perfect.

I wasn't able to hold my breath for long but the stamina refill thankfully allowed me to at least hold my breath for another few hours.

Great. Now let's try this one more time.

29.9 MILLION VOLTS

A 980-meter radius

That was the range of the attack that was discharged.

No monster remains.

Well,

Besides 1.

"Wonderful, seems you arent all talk even when limited. Now, do you plan to continue?

Me: If I continue, I'll die. There's no way for me to win. Only 1 foot is left. My chest is raging.

"I see, so you've given up"

Me: I never said I won't fight. I just stated what would happen if I did.

I'm level 76 now, but my body hasn't been refreshed from any level-ups. Another restriction placed on me. Even without them, defeating a titan is nigh impossible.

Nevermind, seems I can fight with all I got.

But....my foot. What can I do about that?

Forget it, now, we fight.

"Rahahahaha now cmon little Sovereign. Show me your power. Show me if you can rival the titans. Beings even the gods feared."

Beings even the gods feared. Im dead. What the hell do I do?

Oceanus got up from his throne.

"Now, let's fight"

At the tip of his fingers, a thin thread of water could be seen. With this 'thread', Oceanus controlled the water surrounding us. With that, he brought two waves of gigantic length, maybe 50 meters high.

And he brought each wave to my side.

"Drown him"

The waves came at me at the same time.

Don't panic, I can take them both out.

Let me infuse lighting into my left foot.

Connect every nerve in my body, become one, become whole. Put everything into one area of the body.

Put everything on my left foot.

Waste no movements.

Put everything into one.

One move

One attack

One kick

RECOILESS V2

I spun around, and landed the kick right into the center point of the wave, dispersing the water to the edges.

And then almost instantly, with the lightning embedded into my body, increasing my speed, I used Reijo's Blade to slice the next wave, causing the wave to crumble down.

"Impressive movements there. But can you handle this"

And just then, the environment which was all water, changed.

The water that was everywhere, all moved into one spot.

All the water gathered and condensed in front of Oceanus.

It condensed into a shape.

It was shaped of that like a........glaive.

A pole weapon, with a curved blade at the end, standing at 97 meters tall, taller than that of Oceanus himself.

"This is the weapon of the Sea king. The weapon of Oceanus, the eldest Titan. Prove to me that you live up to the title of Sovereign."

I know what to do.

All 130 shadows in my army, came out.

My army of 131 vs Oceanus

This is the final test.

With that command issued to all shadows, the glaive came down. And it came down hard.

Brace yourself. Were not fucking dying here

I coated my body in lighting, I pulled out all weapons in my inventory and controlled them using Rulers Authority, to block this attack.

And then it hit.

....................................

"Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I can't believe it, the Sovereign of Shadows is truly deserving of his title. Whether I'm weakened or no, this man has survived the attack from a Titans sacred item."

"Blood from the mouth, severe internal bleeding, missing 1 kidney, 22 ribs crushed to oblivion, both arms severed, both eyes pierced, lungs damaged to the point of no return. Yet this man still stands.

I'm............alive

Tchh not even

I'll do it in a few minutes are so.

And...

IT FUCKING HURTS!!!!!!!!!!!

Wha-

"Join me. Join me and my younger brother Kronos. With your potential, just the 3 of us will be enough to overthrow the power that is the gods"

What. The gods, overthrow them? I don't even know what's going on. And I can't speak.

"But first, let me heal your wounds."

The giant that is Oceanus walked towards my body. Once he was in front of me, he put a hand over my body.

Water enveloped the entirety of my being. Warm water.

I can feel the pain being washed and scrubbed away.

In a matter of seconds, my death-defying injuries were all but gone. My limbs, internal organs, body parts, everything back.

"So this is the power of the titans."

"Of course, I can do a lot more. But alas, I'm in a weakened state."

"I'm going to need you to explain. Explain Everything"

"Of course. Let's see. Where to start. Alright, this is a good spot. Now, several eons ago, there was a race called the titans. These titans were the strongest beings in existence. No other race could match the power that was the titans. The mortal race of different species formed soon after the titan's creation. The Titans ruled the world. I, as the eldest Titan, was also one of the strongest, second to be more precise. The strongest being my younger brother, Kronos. Kronos became the lord of Titans and ruled over the Universe as the Supreme titan. The world thrived in peace and prosperity. But, one day, the beings known as Gods appeared. Gods state that they are older than all species but that is a lie, as they are younger than even the mortal race. These gods possessed unprecedented strength. All of them having power equal to or more than the 12 titans."

This is similar to real mythology but at the same time completely different.
