《The Man Ruined by The Gods》Chapter 7: Meeting more adventurers? The Frightening Ironback bear!
Advertisement
[swoosh][swoosh]
We passed through tree’s, beast and the occasional beast fights. But seriously this place really is virgin ground, well in terms of human exploration that is.
Anyway since the start of the journey I’ve been wrapped around mom’s embrace. But I doubt that she’s doing this because of her love for me. I think she loves the Void Beast more than me… but that might as well be my imagination… right?
Well no matter, I do understand why mom would come to love this beast so much. After all it’s really pretty, no cool, no it’s amazing. I-I just can’t describe how this beast looks! It’s so amazing just like an animal version of A*i&n X from B*n 1o!
Though he may instead have a violet and purple as the core colors it doesn’t change the fact that it’s… I can’t describe it it using words!
Well in any case we’ve been travelling for a few days now and we still haven’t gotten out of the forest. According to mom beyond the forest is something that they call the [Frozen Hell].
It seems that the place was named as such since the area is covered by snow and temperatures could kill someone.
The [Frozen Hell] caught my interest as it’s said that the last time a person went there is when the human Hero travelled the land to take down the a dragon.
“Though are you sure you want to go there Xenados?”
“Yep!”
Mom’s been asking me this ever since I told her about my plans, well it’s not that I want to kill myself but I feel like it would be the best decision. Well if I find the cold unbearable even for my status effect resistance then I would turn back and try living in the dark forest.
It’s not like I’m gonna have problems living in this place but I do want to become stronger.
Thinking about getting stronger I remember that in most of the worlds I’ve been through I was able to live like playing a game…
I think that I should have enjoyed my time leveling up and becoming stronger but… well now that I’m free of that god then I could enjoy the concept of gaining experience points and leveling up…
But did something like a level show up in my status?
“”
Name: Xenados Void Age:3 Race: Dhampir Title:[Void Master][Dark Soul][Ruined Man] Strength: 69 Agility: 50 Intelligence: 100 Dexterity: 150 Mana: ------- Unique Skills: Skills: Vampirism Lv.1

Enhanced Senses(smell,touch,taste,hearing ,sight, vestibular,proprioception)Lv.1
Enhanced strength Lv.1
Mental Fortitude Lv.10
Pain Resistance Lv.10
Status Effect Resistance Lv.10 Curses:
Now that I look at it… there is no level but I do have the mana and other values but… why is my mana value like that? Could it be that I am unable to use mana since I have the three unique magic skills?
Then does that mean I couldn't use cool ice magic or flashy lightning thunder and lightning?
…
Wait if I remember correctly this also happened in one of my lives… what was it that this meant again…
That’s it this means that I have some sort of infinite mana supply!
Wait isn’t that a cheat? If it’s like this I could use barrier magic and command my armies right! But still that doesn’t change the fact that I am a weak person who only relies on his cheats…
Well I could probably conquer this world but then a god would do something like a divine intervention… goddamn it! Just when I got a great idea and revelation! But I could still use my magic but to beat a god one needs to become a god! An infinite supply of mana and the void is indeed powerful but…
The enemy is god, this is not some corny light novel, anime or manga where I battle some sort of demon king then say, Now the enemy is god! Some cheesy lines like that don’t belong here!
Well anyway I need to gain power, seriously well at least having these cheats assure me that I can protect myself and mom.
“Xenados look over there”
Mom told me and pointed towards the north-west, following her finger I saw a group of human like silhouettes battling against a large shadow.
[Stop]
I ordered the void beast’s to stop using mental interference type magic, in simpler terms telepathy. Well this to me is the best method but I could order them by shouting but…
I mean when you hear a child scream stop and two frightening beast were to follow it would not look scary but instead look weird and fake. I mean using telepathy makes it look cool not only to me but also those who see.
Anyways the reason that there are two beast is because the other one was similarly turned to a beast but I used instead of Void magic a mixture of dark and shadow magic.

Well magic is a profound concept and I’m sure that if some high mage would hear how I created the mixture of darkness and shadow magic into Kuro possible is because they technically had the closest “relationship” like how light and healing magic match or water and Ice.
I pretty much guess that even i told them this they would still look at me as if I were an alien speaking an unknown language.
The use of magic is after all more of an intelligence based power, technically magic is more powerful the more one understands it.
Take for example using the fireball spell, if one grew up in a fantasy world they would be focused on memorizing the spell, mana is present in their bodies as such it’s possible to create the spell.
Chanting or the incantations before spells are just “words given power by the monster of the past” as said by many of the teachers I had in magic. The chants are created by experts from the ancients era’s until the present, chants are words or phrases that were forcefully shoved into the world's laws.
Magic in itself is benging the laws of the world through the use of mana, as such the powerhouses, the monsters who created the chants are worshipped similar to gods, in fact some of them are actual gods.
The cases of shortening chants on the other hand is when the one practices magic such that he could imagine the phenomena.
Magic is bending the laws of the world so to do this one needs to have a clear image in mind. I’ve seen many who rely solely on the countless spells but fail to create their own.
When one uses a spell for example fireball, hundreds or even thousands of times they can use one word or no words at all to create a fireball and throw it.
In these cases people would be called geniuses but in my eyes they’re just a bunch idiots.
First of all the way they imagine the spell, again an example of this is “fireball”, they imagine, “A ball of fire appearing on my palms”. In this case the mana forcefully bends the laws to create the spell taking some assistance from the ingrained spell in the world.
Compared to this I’ve found out how to efficiently use magic.
“Flame Pillar!”
A huge magic circle appeared above the huge beast and then a column of flames erupted encroaching the beast in the hellfire.
This is one of the forceful activations, the chant must have been about a paragraph long that’s why they had to wait for her to finish chanting and stall for time. Well this is a pretty normal occurrence when it comes to group fights but…
Name: (None) Race: Ironback Demon Bear Class: Common Rank: A Level: 40 Skills: Master: None
The gigantic bear was resistant to heat and the level of the skill is at 5. The way my level system works is that Lv.10 is already godlike so what should be the level of a monster whose skills are at Lv.3 to 6?
Well among all the monsters that we passed this is what I could say is one of the strongest. Yeah and judging from the people that are fighting it, the mage alone. If I don’t intervene then these adventurers would die… but they are adventurers…
Just as the bear was about to conduct a flaming charge, I realized that the adventurers are not human!
Pointed ears dark brown skin and white hair! Elves! No Dark Elves! A fantasy race that I have never enjoyed being with no it’s more like I never enjoyed living in a fantasy until now…
[Kuro you go and help them, restrain the bear don’t cause harm to any side]
Kuro is the second beast that I turned, after absorbing the darkness and shadow magic mixture, he similarly morphed, but instead of growing bone armor he instead turned darker.
His already beautiful black fur turned even more beautiful and from his limbs black flames erupted all over his body black flames emerged but these flames didn’t harm me and mom.
But looking at it more closely the flames look more like his mane, he used to be a jaguar but now he looks like a mix between a jaguar and a lion.
He’s status…
Name: Kuro Race: Absolute Evil Walker Class: Mythical Rank: E Level: 7 Unique Skills: Master: Xenados Void
Well he’s a level below pluto but I expected this since my control of dark and shadow magic is also a level lower than my control of void magic.
I have a feeling that if I wanted to I could fully master void magic anytime but let’s not think about those kinds of things right now, I mean we need to save the dark elves first right?! I mean they are dark elves! The most important part of living in a fantasy!

The Last Death Mage
Since time immemorial humanity has always feared and shunned what it didn’t understand. Over time this changed a bit to encompass things that didn’t conform to their thoughts and ideals. Due to humanity’s stubbornness with which the enforced their ideals many lives were lost and changed. When humanity first clashed with monsters and the beings that use magic, this trait caused many bloody fights. Over time the fights escalated into battles and full on war on several occasions. Humanity due to their adaptability and persistence won many of these altercations, causing huge casualties to the magical beings. Humanity did not come out unscathed however; many of the empires and civilizations noted in human history fell due to these battles and wars. Eventually over time humanity and the magical beings came to a sort of agreement. Magic and the beings associated with it faded into the background of history, being relegated to myth and legend. Humanity meanwhile advanced leaps and bounds once magic faded, leading to our current level of civilization. Not all magical beings were content with this, thus they did their own actions and killed or fed on humans. This has led to many organizations to be formed concerning this, on both the side of humanity and the side of magical beings. They regulate and control the use of magic as well as protect humanity from the darker things that are now not but myth to them, but there is a reason humanity instinctually fears the dark. Unfortunately there are always those that are unsatisfied by the status quo, and those that are prejudiced against things that are different. This is a story of a young man who wanted nothing more than to be normal. Unfortunately Fate and the world he lives in do not easily allow that this, thus his life changed, not for the better. Everyone has heard of or read stories about monsters and legends, heroes and villains, this is one such story. Hi, this is my second attempt at a story here, the first was before the major overhaul happened and i lost everything related to that story due to PC troubles. I hope you enjoy this if you dont please leave some constructive criticism in the comments. An Editor and the like will be needed, but I will edit as problems are pointed out and as i proof read. This story will have no set schedule, unless of course I decide to type up a bunch in succession then i will note that in a chapter beforehand. ADDED NOTE: most sexual content will be in Interludes or sub chapters with a .5 attached. Profanity and gore however shall be plenty in the actual story, though the descriptives for the gore may be added later. (For example, in the prologue that gave a hint at what happened to the MC, will be enhanced so that the gore invokes more descriptive/complete mental pictures, though it may wait.) ~Tyroth Gideon

Zyon: The Alpha Of The North
Just as I think i'm going to make it out, i feel an arm wrap around my waist, lifting me into the air. My struggling does essentially nothing. I am incessantly weak, thanks to my non-compliant wolf. I feel myself being thrown onto the bed.I flip myself around to see him, standing at the foot of the bed, with his eyes darker than usual and a scowl set in. "I told you not to run, not once, not twice but thrice," he says. "You aren't going to like what I do now." As he leans down, I scramble towards the headboard, still on my back, my eyes never leaving his. "I told you I wasn't going to stay, why are you not able to understand..'' I'm cut short as I feel a hand wrapping around my ankles pulling me downwards harshly. I let out a scream as I kick my legs, trying to get out of his grasp. He wraps my legs around his stomach, grabs my wrists and pins them down, so he's essentially towering over me. I know what he plans to do. "Please Zyon, Please I don't want this." He looks at me and smirks, clearly enjoying watching me beg, "I don't care what you want. What matters is, what I want."------------------------------------------------Katherine is living a life of solace and acceptance with Daniel. With her wolf having become dormant, she has accepted the fact that she will live her life as a human. After all it was her own choices that got her here. Daniel, with whom she has fallen deeply in love is not her mate. She knows who her mate is, but has pushed him and all thoughts of him to the back of her head. She fell in love with Daniel before her mate realised who he was to her and she is adamant to keep it that way. Her mate, however, may not feel the same way.
