Chapter 3: Meeting with GOD part 2

SHING! Thump!

A bright light shone for a short moment in front of me, and I heard the sound of something hitting the floor.

I looked over, and didn't give any particular reaction since I was still under the monarch's indifference.

It was the naked corpse of a young man!

"This guy," the God repeated with hatred. "The so-called Mage Emperor!"

"One of the paths to power I created was the path of magic," God explained. "This was also the first example I gave you when I described some paths to power in my world."

. "Just like everyone else, the Mages sought supremacy over everyone, but they weren't really any more powerful than the others."

"That was until the Mage Emperor appeared," God spat in disgust while giving the corpse a side-eye. "He became the most powerful person in the world, but instead of furthering his own power even more, he concentrated on making the path of Magic supreme."

"So, he killed all the most powerful people of the other paths of power," God said with some anger. "Even more, after he killed the most powerful people, he ordered the other mages to kill everyone else that has reached a sufficient standard of power without practicing Magic!"

"In just some few short years, this fucking guy ruined thousands of years of progress!" the young man shouted as he glared at the corpse of burning eyes.

God stood up as he paced around in anger.

"Do you know how fucking boring the world has been ever since then?!" God shouted.

"Only Mages are left, and the path of Magic is the only known path to true power," God spat with frustration. "If anyone wants power, they simply join the mages. Path of least resistance, you know?"

"Why try anything new when you already know of a way to get what you want?" God parroted with anger and annoyance. "Why go through that hassle, huh?"

"Even people that try to make the other paths to power work will eventually give up and join the Mages after realizing that their progress isn't fast enough. No shit your progress isn't fast! You are blazing a brand-new path on your own!"

"And the worst thing is that the Mages aren't even suppressing the other paths to power!" tGod shouted. "They don't even need to! Everyone joins them eventually! Well, no shit! You have thousands of years of refined Spells, Techniques, and Crafts while everyone else has fuck-all due to your purge in the past. Of course they're running towards you in droves!"

"My entire fucking world is filled with nothing but Mages, and battles amongst Mages are one of the most boring ones in existence!" God shouted. "Have you ever seen people just flinging stuff at each other from a distance for hours on end? Shit's boring as fuck!"

"I'm bored as shit watching my own fucking world when it's supposed to bring me entertainment!"

"And it's all this asshole's fault!"

BANG! BOOOM!

God kicked the corpse in rage, and the corpse flew with insane speeds at the wall, which promptly exploded.

After kicking the corpse, God seemed to feel better, and an evil smirk appeared on his face.

"You should've seen him when he came into my palace like he owned the place."

"Back then, I was looking rather favorably upon him since he managed to become quite powerful. I assumed that the other paths to power would recover with time."

"Yet, that idiot just had to act like he owned the place and told me to make space for him."

SHING!

The naked corpse appeared in front of the young man again, uninjured.

BANG!

Another kick, another explosion at the wall.

"Just like right now, I kicked him around the room until he eventually died," God said with a genuinely malicious grin. "It took hours, but he still eventually succumbed to his ever-increasing count and severity of injuries."

God took a deep breath and looked at Alex again.

"Anyway, that's where you come into play," he said, "someone who will help my world's other paths to properly advance."

"I will send you into my world with a body that is unable to practice Magic. However, you are a person that wants to become more powerful, someone that chases power. If Magic doesn't work for you, you will find another way."

"And that's your entire job," God said with a smirk as he sat down on his throne again.

"Simply be yourself in my world. Do whatever the fuck you want. It doesn't matter because, in the end, you will chase power no matter what, and you will have to do it with something that isn't Magic."

"That's all you have to do."

I once again had just stayed silent. I didn't really have anything to say, I was still under the fuckign influence of my skill. However, I don't really think that's a bad thing, everythings going well right now.

"Wow, no useless thoughts? Will you impress me more than him," God said out loud.

"Him?"

I was just ignored.

"Now, I have a helping hand for you."

"I have three presents for you that will make your journey to power far easier."

I finally felt my body gaining back complete control. God probably stopped putting the fear onto me.

"Presents?" I asked, with emotion in my voice.

He looked at me with a calculating expression but didn't say anything.

I was trying my best to think of literally anything else.

"Your thoughts are back." He said out loud with a smirk.

Suddenly, I felt a tap on my head as he asked," Can you turn your emotions and thoughts off at will? That would be an amazing skill for this world."

I didn't say anything, but that was probably an answer enough for him.

"Anyways yes, presents. The strongest person in the world who is not following the path of magic is only in the 4th realm with many more to go."

"You don't have any inheritance for techniques or any other person that can help you when you reach the third Realm. The first couple of Realms are still fine, but you will have to blaze your own path starting at the third Realm."

"So, you'll need some help. Otherwise, it would become impossible for you to reach any significant level of power."

According to the novel, realm progression just takes time. Build a solid foundation and attack in a long-term manner.

Then he passed me a cube and said," This is your weapon."

Obviously, I could barely carry it.

"Whenever you decide on your own path to power, tell the cube what it should become, and it will assume that form. Keep in mind that this form is permanent and that it can't be easily altered in the future."

"The reason I am giving you a weapon is to make your life easier in the future. At higher realms, it is basically impossible to make your own weapons unless you blaze another oath as well."

"Your next present is a separate space," he said. "This space acts as a world of its own, but a far smaller one. Don't bother looking for it since you can't use it yet. Wait until you reach the second Realm. Everything about this space will be explained to you then."

"And as for your third and last present," God said as he leaned back on his throne again with a smirk.

"You get to ask me nine questions in total, and I will answer them honestly," he said.

Right, this is the best one, just ask for the most overpowered things.

"Yes, you can," God answered.

"However!" he shouted. "You don't get to remember your questions and answers immediately."

God only grinned. "One question and one answer per major breakthrough," God said. "You get to ask nine questions since my world has nine Realms of power. You get to ask all these questions now, but the memories of them will only be unlocked as your strength increases."

After thinking about it for a second, I decided to ask my question.

I already knew 4 of Shang's questions, so this was an advantage I had.

"What is the best weapon I should pick in my path as a warrior."

"Well that is an interesting question." He mused for a while, before replying to my question.

"At the start of your path to power, a sword would be the best. You are mainly fighting beasts, complex types of sword play is not needed to beat mindless beasts which don't have tactics employed.

However, after that, a spear would be better. A spear is a complex weapon to use, with more martial capabilities. It is more complex and realistic against opponents that it's hard to kill in 1 shot.

In the path of absolute power, picking 1 specific weapon itself will cause complications down the line. That being said, why can't you combine everything?" He said with a smirk.

"That being said, my answer is, use the Spear. However, when you reach the stage where you feel like you have mastered its basics, learn other weapons, and add them all to make your own unique style of the spear."

"Right, as for my second question…"

PANG

After waking up, I realized that my monarch's indifference was activated.

What the hell happened for my monarch's indifference to be activated?

"Right, on your way then." God said, and I was then 'pushed,' out of his domain, as I landed onto grass and my monarch's indifference deactivated. What the hell just happened?
