'What is a Rage God?"

In the middle of a busy street, a young man with black hair flowing to the side with dashing silver lined suit was seated crossed in front of the red fire pit.

'The Rage God is among the strongest god that ever existed. The Rage God is known for his antics acting as if he was losing the battle then suddenly going to an enrage state that drains the soul of enemies he killed further strengthening him and his wretched weapon."

My breathing quickened.

'He and his friend that suddenly arrived out of nowhere challenged all the gods in this world each with there own promise if they're defeated this included my grandfather.

But some were not afraid of them the Yakima Eighteen War Gods thought highly of themselves in the end only two survived with damage souls.'

The flame grew hotter as anger started to appear on his tone.

'I have only anger to the first Rage God but I won't let anger cloud my judgment. To have been chosen to be his successor is fortunate for you but never walk down his path.'

'But where are all the gods now?'

After calming myself I spoke in a respectful tone.

'Gone all of them they left this world a long time ago. After my father disappeared all the gods left this world only Chronos the god of time and Ankhseram the world law stayed.'

I stood up as I realized that it was already noon.

'Anyway, that's all for today.'

'Hmm.'

I walked towards the familiar house.

Suddenly I felt my feet sink into to the floor.

"Ow fuck!"

There was no one around me.

Slowly I fell on a room surrounded by brick walls and was dimly lit by three floating flames.

I stood up as I heard a familiar voice again.

"How has it been? Looks like you already found Surtrs blood!"

"Nope, I didn't an ancient dragon tried to possess me. In the end, it only activated my latent gene."

"You must have been exposed to chaotic flame. Normally fire giants awaken when they are exposed to the atmosphere of Muspelheim."

"How do I progress down this path?"

"Comprehend of course! We giants are not stupid we are known for our intellect and great foresight. The first three runes are called the innate three control, Intent, and

strength. The fourth one is called divinity and the last one is called ascension."

I stared at the ceiling of the dungeon as I spoke.

"Thanks, I gonna have to do something can you send me back?"

"Go then."

I felt my feet getting swallowed by the ground as I heard him spoke again.

"Better find the drop of Surtrs blood before someone else does if not it could lead to a disaster. Normally I can't help you but you already accomplish what Surtr wished for so I used 90℅ of my soul essence

to search the entire kingdom I found it moving all the time it seems it was inside a human but not absorb. I found that it keeps returning to a specific city..."

I immediately realized that his voice seems weaker than before.

"What city?"

"Magnolia city!"

Immediately remember the strongest Guild in Fiore. 'It must be in one of them.'

"I'll be on it!"

Immediately I appeared in front of the door of my house.

Knock! Knock!

The door opened as my mother who hasn't aged at all in the 10 years I was gone hugged me.

"My baby is all grown up now!"

She began to cry as she spoke.

"Sorry, mom."

I said in an apologetic tone.

"Don't worry you were only gone for three years you must have spent ten in the human world."

"What! Wait it can't be if time is slower here by three times. It's not the year X774 its X784! That's it I never asked what years it!"

My mom frowned at me as she spoke.

"Come Lily meet your big brother."

I suddenly saw a little girl no older than 2 with black hair and blue eyes similar to mom. She struggles to walk as she was being guided by dad.

"Big bruwda...."

I smiled at my dad as pinch the chick of the adorable little thing.

"You must be through a lot. Come inside lets talk."

I walked inside as I felt a small ich in my neck I looked at it.

"Shit little Jörmungandr I forgot!"

A small snake no bigger than a caterpillar compared to my size anyway.

I saw the little Jörmungandr biting me as if saying'feed me!'.

I grabbed it and place it on my shoulders as I sat on the table beside my sister.

"So how was your journey. It still feels odd seeing you like this last time we saw you were still small."

"Many things happened I learned magic and met a few people."

Their eyes lit up as I spoke the word magic. Giants normally can't use magic my theory is that they lacked the elemental soul needed to communicate with the elements. While mine was given by Atlas.

"How?"

"It isn't that I don't want to it's just I can't."

I spoke in a serious tone.

The looked disappointed as I grabbed a small piece of meat and gave it to little Jörmungandr. He swallowed it immediately as they looked at me.

"What is that?"

"My pet I call him Jörmungandr he will grow big really big in time."

"World serpent!"

They spoke simultaneously.

"How big were its parents?"

My dad asked me.

"It can probably swallow this house!"

I said nonchalantly.

"Then return it to its parent's before they come looking for trouble."

My dad stood up as he spoke in a hurried tone.

"HA HA! The parents are dead I killed it myself it was a great fight."

He sat down and looked at me and continued eating.

"I'm leaving later I have another mission to do."

My mom who was silent the whole time finally spoke.

"Why are gonna leave again? Can't you stay for a few days?"

"Carol the eternal flame probably gave him this task."

My dad spoke with a sigh.

"I'm leaving tomorrow."
