Cruelty, Capture and Blade
"Why, why is the world so cruel", I said looking up at the inky black heavens, The was pouring, thoroughly drenching everything including me. Though it couldn't wash away the guilt, the pain, the sadness. The girl had been far, far too young to die, even worse it was my fault, If I hadn't dropped her she wouldn't have died,
I pondered and contemplated what made us the way we were,
And although I thought and thought,
Nothing came to mind,
I was left in frustration
The heavy rain did little to diminish my raging emotions
I looked down at the body of the girl
and prayed for her well being in the after life
I prayed that she ended up in Elysium
Someone so pure,
So innocent,
Belonged in a good place like that.
After thinking for quite a while longer it finally dawned on me. In this world you could never save someone, it was impossible, It was Impossible for the weak, If you wanted to protect, if you want to save then you must be strong, strong enough obliterate anyone that dares to go against you, your people,your beliefs and your values, That power was something I lacked, I was far to weak, but I was going to become strong I wasn't gonna be weak anymore.
"Not anymore", I muttered to myself staring at the dead body of the girl I had killed with my own hands, Tears streamed from my face, wetting my shirt.
The girl deserved a proper burial and so I went to find a hill or forest, while bridal carrying her as she at least deserved to be held in not put inside my inventory and so I walked and walked until I spotted a hill with many trees and so I dug and dug for a a couple hours until I she could fit in and I put her in there and I prayed to my Hades and my new father that she was sent to Elysium and put all the dirt back and just sat there on the ground for who knows how long just to empty my eyes.
I had been thrown into a world of chaos then preceded to kill a child, kill a monster, activated a system figure out the current time which was 1984 two years before the birth of Luke Castellan so I had a bit of time before canon according to the system and in that time I would become strong. Strong enough to stop even the gods.
But that was only a pipe dream If I didn't work.
And so with that mindset I worked out and worked out till my body could no longer move.
I did push ups over and over again, so many times that I couldn't even count
Once again my eyes found themselves gazing at the infinity above, The light illuminated the area around me, The stars spread so far out across the vast infinity above me, shined their majestic light down. I just bathed in the darkness of the sky for a good hour, However I knew I had to get stronger and exercising wasn't only way.

*BOOM*
*BOOM*
A streak of blue hit a ground cindering everything in a 6 foot radius,
*BOOM*
Once again another majestic streak of blue rained down from inky black heavens, tearing through clouds like a hot knife through butter however this time it struck in a different area further destroying the forest, burning everything around, a scene of pure and utter destruction was shown.
"Shit, Shit, Shit, I was too in the zone, I need to leave now!" I panted realizing just how much destruction I caused without even noticing, willing the air to come to my aid blow out the fire only made it worse as to take out fire with wind, heavy amounts of wind is needed however I had previously used up almost all my mana with few mana points to spare. "Fuck, I'm so fucked, I need to move and now", "System how many many points do I have left?"
[1,543/10,000 mana points left, user is cautioned to use remaining mana points to escape]
"Thanks sys" I muttered quietly before willing the air to condense around the soles of my feet while also willing it to wrap it around my legs so that I didn't fall off and making the already fast air currents shoot me forward.
"Naugatuck State Forest, Connecticut huh" I said a bit remorseful of all the damage I caused but It was for gaining power, enough power to protect, and so I flew on my flight the only thing taking up my concentration for the next couple hours"

"They shouldn't be able to figure out who I am now" I grinned using the mist to change my appearance to that of a grown man and like that I entered the museum, to my right which according to the system held one of the most powerful mortal blades in existence, Thee Damascus blade, not just any ordinary Damascus blade, A Damascus blade forged by a son of mortal loathing son of Hephaestus, A blade imbued with celestial steel.
*Crack!*
Smashing the glass around the blade instantly sounded the alarms and so I quickly grabbed the blade by the hilt and jumped up to the second floor of the building and using the blade I swung it at the wall with all my strength releasing a fume of smoke covering my general area however I instantly blew it all away and sent it towards the mortals, obscuring their vision allowing me to escape before anyone could comprehend what just happened.
And like that I stole one of the most valuable blades in the world technically undetected as not a soul knew of my whereabouts or my true identity.
The blade I had stolen was quite beautiful, The sheath was adorned with dragon-like inscriptions giving it an ancient vibe, The blade itself had multiple white flowers splashed across the pure black blade, The standard Japanese Tsuba was replaced with a lion shaped head, The lion head was a bit aesthetically unpleasing however it was fine as the rest of the blade was beautiful and more importantly the weapon was very powerful.
The blade was going to be very important for my future and so I started swinging it, but to my horror the magical and physical fatigue had finally caught up and I was stuck in a forest.
[The system cautions users to flee...] the system said ominously, a hint of fear laced my eyes and I prayed to zues, I prayed that I would at least be in one piece.
"Father, Please.....Please protect me" I choked out.
My head started to get dizzy,
Black splotches littered my vision
My whole body ached
But out of the blue my body felt started to feel nice and cool,
I felt horribly sleepy
My eyelids got increasingly heavy,
It was as if my eyelids weighed a couple tons
My mind just shut down
And so did my body
And my consciousness left me

"He is awake!", "Eh? Inform the superiors Immediately!" a feminine voice said echoed,
"W-where am I?" I muttered groggily, my eyelids were still heavy but not as much as before thankfully, instantly a wave of memories hit me like a stream-roller,
"Ara Tenryū no ken", "How could 'He' have it" one of them muttered, in awe and shock at Milo could possibly wield the clearly ??? weapon.
"H-hey where am I?" Milo said trying to massage his eyes with his palms before realizing his arms were shackled by abyssal black chains, wrapping around his arms chaining him to a cold metallic chair, Iron balls were chained to his legs tightly, erecting a grunt of pain out of him, but he steeled through, a look of rage in his eyes.
"You dare!?!?" One of them yelled in disgust and rage before cocking their arm, squaring Milo in the face full force.
"Ahhh!!!" Milo screamed which brought a smile to the faces of Greek demigods ambushes.
"Prepare to die..." Milo said hatefully a cruel smile plastered onto his face,
"Prepare to feel the wrath of thunder"
Before anyone could do anything or even comprehend the current situation, A streak of blue hit the ground at mind boggling speed, Decimating everything in a 15 meter radius, reducing everything to cinders.
Well that's what Milo wished would happen however what he had hoped for was far, far, far from reality.
[Interference detected, User is incapable of using magical abilities]
"Fuck...." Milo whispered, his face ugly.
"You...You just tried to kill us....." A black haired young man said who went by Fujitora, This man was the one who had earlier punched Milo, and the man seemed to be fuming, he clenched his fists and for a second the Milo felt as though he was being torn up.
The raven haired man who had earlier assaulted Milo felt a hand on his shoulder."Try it and it will be your last day here...." Spoke the middle aged man who had grabbed the Fujitora a freezing cold glint in eyes, A look in his eyes said, 'I don't care where you go or hide, I will follow you across the earth destroy you', the look he gave was frightening indeed.
"Someone help me....." Milo muttered desperately a look of horror spread across his face.
