Prologue

"Ray, did you write that essay on Greek Gods?" Arno asked his classmate.

"Hmm? Yeah, I did it the moment the teacher asked us. Which was last week."

For a second Raynor's best friend looked at him as if he was an alien life form.

"You don't do homework! Who are you!?"

"Bro, it was interesting to work on it…so, I did it?" Raynor said with an uncaring shrug.

"Interesting? Weren't they like… one of craziest pantheons around!?"

"You mean the most human-like among them all? Something akin to an example of what humans would do if they had that much power?" Raynor quickly told him about what he wrote in his essay.

"Yeah…that."

"You just want me to tell you more so that you could write it down yourself."

"Hey! I am not the history nerd here!" Arno quickly got defensive as his friend just saw through him.

"And I am not one either. I only remember what I like." Raynor said with an eye roll.

"...Yeah. Whatever, I need to go home. Mother wants me to help her with something." The blonde friend of Raynor's said with a resigned tone.

"Well, then go and tell her that you need to do your homework so that your working load would decrease."

"...That's Genius! Maybe it was destiny that I didn't do the essay!"

"Or maybe you forgot like most of the time you do?" Raynor rebuked him with a snort.

For a second Arno looked offended.

"I never forget!"

"Sure… and pigs fly. Anyways—"

*Thunder Rumbling*

—I have to go home as well." The black-haired teen said that as he looked at thunder clouds gathering in the sky.

"Fuck! Why now!?" Arno exclaimed loudly as he saw the clouds.

"I don't remember that there was a chance of rain today…" Raynor looked at the sky with an annoyed look.

"Yeah! Tell me about it!"

~~~~~~Scene Break~~~~~~

As Raynor was walking home as quickly as he could, he ended up noticing a blonde girl dressed in tight jeans and a red blouse rushing somewhere.

What stuck with him was her beauty as he had never seen someone like her in this small city before.

Then the next moment, high winds suddenly appeared from nowhere! And blasted right at him!

One of the winds smashed in his face, which made the already wet teen experience something like a slap in his face with cold air and water.

A growl escaped from his mouth as he wiped his face with his wet sleeve.

After doing that he started to experience issues while trying to walk as the winds were extremely powerful and erratic!

However, this was the fastest way home. Not only will he save a chunk of time but will also be home faster!

However…

Another powerful rumble in the sky appeared and an extremely bright light rushed to the ground.

The first thing the teen did in this situation was to get the hell out of the possible location where this is going to hit!

Thankfully, after he did that, a few moments later a huge crater appeared not far from his location!

"Holy shit… did thunder just strike this place!?" Raynor exclaimed as he slowly walked over to the crater to check out what he had just seen. Hell, for a moment he forgot that he was bathing in torrential rain!

However, what he saw blew his mind away!

"...Is that a lightning bolt?" The black-haired teen said with disbelief.

How is this even possible!?

As he looked at it… he felt an urge…

For a second, he forgot that this was most likely an actual thunderbolt that could fry him from just a simple touch.

Nah, he did not care anymore… that moment he had this feeling that this was not a normal situation anymore.

As he entered the crater his hand slowly went towards the lightning bolt.

[Sky is limitless, can you grasp it?]

Before he touched it, he heard a smooth voice. For a second, he almost snapped at it.

"I don't care. I want this over with!"

[Then take it, and end this yourself.]

As he heard that, he somehow knew he could wield this bolt. As if he got… an acceptance…from somewhere.

It didn't matter to him as by this point, he just wanted this to be over with! He wanted this nonsense out of his town!

With a feeling of being invigorated Raynor grabbed the bolt. At that moment, he felt the pure heat of this weapon. Even if he could hold it… or supposedly allowed to hold a pure element like that, his hand already started burning.

However, the moment he grasped such a thing the world around him changed. He could see…more! The rain and lightning around him became nothing more than a background.

As if it has been silenced. Instead, the teen could now see…two people in the air being surrounded by auras. One was Sky Blue with a crown made from olive leaves, dressed in a Greek toga and with white hair and a lightning bolt in his hand.

Opposing this man was another man in an ocean blue aura with somewhat longer white hair than the previous one. And he had a golden trident…

What was happening between these two was a battle? Or…was it more like a banter between those…

[Hahaha! It has been how many years now!? I think it's about time we settle this brother!] The one with the sky blue aura said with an amused and somewhat entertained tone.

[I suppose we should. You already threw one of those at me. So, I will answer in kind!] The one in the ocean blue aura said with a somewhat angry tone. As he said that the storm got even more fierce!

At that moment Raynor knew that he had to do something! Otherwise, these two nutters will blow his home and the town away!

So, he took a throwing stance and waited for a moment… a moment to just do it! Either he takes one of these down with him or he simply dies. As he doubts, he will have another chance like this!

The moment he felt that he could do it, he threw it!

Even though the two beings were moving fast and they were clashing in the sky. None of them even noticed that a lightning bolt was rushing at one of them!

Then… a sound of thunder rumbling spread through the skies…

One of the beings stopped. It was the one with the sky blue aura. He looked at his chest and saw a hole in his left side…

For a second, disbelief washed him over.

He then looked down towards the source where this attack came from and what he saw… was a human with a completely charred right hand.

[Hahaha! Interesting! How were you able to hold my Master Bolt!? Well! This doesn't matter! You have done something only a selected few can do!

You have killed a God!] The one who self-proclaimed himself to be a God told Raynor who by this point didn't care anymore. He felt drained and very much tired.

He started to feel pain in his right hand and each droplet of rain on his hand sent waves of pain…

"Fuck…you… get out of my Town…" As the teen said that he collapsed on the ground face-first into the dirt.

[That's the spirit! He hasn't been reborn yet! but he already has the will of a Godslayer!] The Greek God exclaimed with an amused look before he noticed that he started to disappear.

[Well, brother, it appears that I have to go now. We will finish our duel after I return!]

*Snort*

[Do whatever you want to do! But! You are dead, and I haven't had my duel!] The one with the trident said with an annoyed tone.

[True… hmm, I suppose I can do this…] The God with Sky Blue aura said that as he looked at the unconscious teenager.

[Then the one who has inherited my power shall give you the fight that you desire!]

[We shall see! Zeus!]

[He is a Godslayer who killed me, 'The King of Gods'! I shall see you again! Until then! Try to survive Poseidon!] After finishing saying that Zeus, The Greek God of Sky, Lightning, and the King of All Greek Gods turned into particles and disappeared.

[Godslayer! I am giving you a week! Learn how to control my brother's authorities and we shall fight!]

After saying that, Poseidon disappeared and the storm which was over the town disappeared alongside them.

"All of the conditions have been met! The ritual, the birth of the seventh Godslayer shall now commence!"

In a completely white realm, a girl said with a happy voice.

~~~

All I could see were blue skies and white clouds. The feeling of flying is amazing. The best part is that I am not afraid of falling or even have some sort of reservations about doing something like this.

I do remember sometimes having dreams of falling. Which would most of the time force me to wake up. But this was different.

This was like flying is a part of me. There are no limits, not a single shred of fear of falling or having fear of heights! It's like the sky is mine and I can do whatever the hell I want to!

After flying for some time, I saw a mountain and buildings built from marble on it, more like they were carved in a way that looks…natural with Greek-style constructs. …Inside one of the temples, there was an orb, and inside this orb… was lightning?

The very same lightning I was able to wield…to throw at one of those beings who were messing around not far from my home…

What the hell is going on!?

Then with a snap, I woke up… what I saw was the white ceiling and the smell of medicine in the air.

"Where am I?"

"In your local hospital." I heard a voice of an unfamiliar female. My gaze went down and I saw the very same blond girl that I had seen before that wind hit me in the face.

"Do you know what you did? If I didn't see it with my own two eyes, I wouldn't believe it!" She explained with some sort of disbelief.

"And what did I do?"

*Snort*

"Don't pretend! You killed a Heretic God! Not any simple Godling! But, Zeus himself!" She said with an eye roll.

"...That was Zeus? The other one should be Poseidon then…" I said that while remembering the other one who had the Trident.

"He said something about having a week before we will have to fight?" I said while remembering the God of Seas talking about the fight.

"I see… it makes sense now, the reason why he left just like that." For a moment, she had a thoughtful look as if she was thinking about something while I looked at her for a bit.

"So? Tell me what the hell is going on! And who are you?"

As I asked her curiously, she for a second got self-conscious.

"My apologies, it was not my intention to confuse you. My name is Erica Blandelli. I am a Great Knight from the Order of Copper Black Cross."

"Copper Black Cross… as in Knights of Templar like order?"

I said that with a slightly confused look as I don't remember an order like that existing… and here I thought I was a nerd for the Templars…

"Oh, I see… so you do know something about it. In a way, my order is a descendant of Templars. But anyway, this is more about you than me."

For a second, she smiled when she heard me mentioning the Templars but then she got serious.

"I have been following Zeus for the past week or so. It started not far from Sicily. He then rapidly flew towards the North. Causing a clear sky-like phenomenon. Then Poseidon appeared not far from your town. Zeus flew here and then the battle began.

Then… out of nowhere you threw one of the bolts and killed one of the Heretic Gods. Thus, Becoming a Godslayer."

As she finished saying that my eyes slightly widened. The moment she mentioned Godslayer… I felt like she was telling me the truth…

It's a feeling that I had not from her but from myself! A feeling of certainty and confidence that she was not messing with me and telling the truth.
