First Steps

My parents were surprised and Keith as well to be sure after all it's not everyday someone has a child born with exceptional holy power. Even more so to be noticed by a master class mage like Keith Amblewood Kennings. to provide a better understanding In this world those with power can be broken down into a couple of categories to help differentiate an individuals strength. the first is the Rank of Soldier- those finding themselves in this rank are the weakest of those blessed with some form of ability. those in this class can easily take care of creatures on the level of a average wild beast or two without any form of assistance. a pack of wolves or a handful of bears would pose little threat to the average Soldier class.

Knight is the second of these ranks the difference in strength between the average Knight class and the average soldier class is comparable to that of ten Soldier Class. these individuals can easily be found making up the vast majority of each countries military forces. Knights are the back bone of any good defensive force.

now this is where the true gaps can be seen as we enter the domain of the Elite Class. if a knight is equal to the power of 10 then it can be said that an Elite then it can also be said that elites are able to rival the strength of 1000 Soldiers. elites while rare are the lifeblood of entire nations able to defend from even the most hearty of foes. Most Elites live their lives with lavish expense enjoying all life offers with relative comfort from the moment they are born.

Even beyond that at the Apex of strength in my world there is the Master Class. Master are rare Prodigies of unimaginable strength if you find yourself in the Master Class then you can be considered a National Treasure less then .1% of any given population is ever born with the potential for the Master Class and those few treasures are given unprecedented authority so as to move unrestricted in the world so they can have the best influence they can for their people.

however, not all who are blessed with power seek to do good with their blessings and of those the Demon King is a Master Class unlike any other. from a young age Sarvash showed great potential and explosive growth. he consumed knowledge as easily as taking a breath and ravenously advanced his powers at an alarming rate. it was apparent from the start that he had an unusual obsession with learning what he called the "Truth" of the universe. he did not wish to leave any amount of knowledge behind no matter how insignificant. be it fairy tails, rumors, or baseless myth he consumed all he heard and read with feverish ferocity. once he had reached age 16 he had drained his country of all it's knowledge and unraveled it's myths and mysteries the people corralling behind him saw for themselves an opportunity to place themselves on high. taking advantage of the discord sown by the Demons and their constant state of warring among themselves he along with a small handful of trusted advisors meticulously and methodically dismantled every other house in the land leaving only the ones who would become known as the "BloodIron Kings" with 7 houses in total surviving as a unified force of those the house of the "Nightrenders" was to lead the other six houses as the strongest.

so with the demons united under the same banner their detestable king sat about with his conquest of the planet with his unquenchable blood lust for knowledge known in every inch of the world. little did he know however, that i would reincarnate into the world among my own followers. A god can do many things but, to directly interfere is one of a very few things we are allowed to do it's one of the few restrictions we as higher beings have the others well I can't comment on those so readily. however with that being said reincarnating is one of the exceptions to the rule we exchange the vast majority of our godly powers so that we can be reborn anew on whatever world we rule. we must then live our lives as a normal member of our society and grow through our own effort. now that alone however, doesn't mean we give up everything and start with nothing. no one starts at 0% even if you have nothing but, the dirt under you feet and rags you still have breath, muscle, and blood that alone is reason enough to trudge on and give it all you've got even if it means you must bleed to earn it.

Keith and my father are people who know this well they began life with nothing to their families name born in the midst of a vast pandemic along with the all consuming flames of war Keith and Elliot from a very young age knew that life was what you made it as even during the worst of the wars that besieged their land of Chimilu. one of the few lands that was able to resist the Demon Lords advent due in great part to the efforts of both my father and uncle. though nothing lasts forever and peace especially is fragile.

" A child blessed with holy power haha! well what better could you ask for then as his soon to be mentor Keith!" Elliot said proudly his eyes brimming with joy and love for the small tanned child held gently in Ameilia's arms. " just remember not to push him too hard once he gets old enough after all i know how reckless the two of you can be sometimes" She said giving them both the equivalent of a warning shot with a single glance. " no worries Amelia, i'll be sure that he takes proper care of himself while on outings with me once he's old enough. after all he's my precious nephew" keith replied reassuringly to set my mother at ease. "we'll start his studies once he is 6 and his magic and physical training once he's 10, after that we can start combat training at 16 how does that sound to you my dear?" Elliot asked with a wide toothed grin excited to get a jump-start on his training with his son as soon as he could physically do so. " that'll be fine dear just don't get too caught up in training and do anything reckless is all i ask" Ameilia replied with a deep smile. with that my first few years had been decided i would train with my father and uncle once i was old enough to prepare me for the world. at the time i was too young to realize the world i had been reborn into was far removed from the world seen in the reflections of my followers prayers....
