Klaus’s POV.

In the seemingly lush green forest, I leaned my body as close to the tree as possible, on high alert. My ears twitched to every sound, my eyes shifted in every direction on quick intervals, and I drew out my short knives, on the ready.  I moved from one spot to another on quick succession, hiding my figure in the shadows, without so much as a noise. Finally, when the target was in my sight, without any hesitation, I swiftly threw my short knives and hit the target, ending its life.

I breathed out a quiet sigh and came out of the shadow. I quickly grabbed my prey and put it in with the rest of my haul in the holding bag that I slung on my back. Done with that, I quickly climbed a tree and jumped from tree branches to another until I arrived back at the camp that I tediously set up.

“Welcome back~” Victor greeted me as he waved his “hand” in glee as he rested himself beside the fireplace and the boiling pot of soup. The sight made me frown. I can’t even begin to say how weird that is. I mean, he’s a DAMN FUCKING WHITE WOLF!

“What did you get?” The alluring voice sent tremors down my body as I felt a slight increase in weight on my left shoulder. I turned towards my left and found a black crow. It was Tico. Damn. Where did her beautiful appearance go?

Hey! I am still a guy! A guy in puberty! Uh, well I am already 19…but hey, manly desires haven’t left me!! So don’t look at me like that, Victor!

I huffed and quickly said,

“Around 5 rabbits.” Ignoring Ash who is grooming himself like the cat that he is, I proceeded to skin the rabbits and cut the meat in pieces then put them in the soup. Some of the meat was put on skewers and I started to cook them by the fire.

Once they’re done, I began to lavish myself with the food I cooked as if I had not eaten in years. The Gods did not disturb me at this time as they quietly watched me eat, seemingly contemplating.

As soon as I finished washing the dishes and the pot using the water Ash had created out of thin air and put them away, I planned to head inside the tent and get some sleep.  Before I could, the Gods lined up in front me and began to materialize their physical human form. Wayne too left my body and materialized with them.

Victor stepped forward and said,

“Let’s fight.”

……..

…………….

What?  

….

……

It has been a couple of days since we have descended unto the earth realm. At first I tried to shake the three Gods off my trail, but it was impossible. It was like they were stuck to me like glue. In the end, I ended up coming to terms with their presence as they are useful in their own way.

Tico had demonstrated the minimum of her abilities as she used wind to somehow boost our travelling speed, reduces frictions and air resistances as well as comfort against the weather. She used the wind to scout ahead as well for threats. Ash had wanted to use his powers and boasted his abilities to bend fiction, but Wayne protested, saying that such grandiose way of movement from place to place will attract much unwanted attention.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

This much is true since for 5 years, Wayne and I had been very discreet in our travels around the globe. We were like fugitives, being hunted here and there, unable to settle down at any place for a long time. I asked Wayne what did he meant by ‘grandiose’ and I regretted it instantly. Ash eagerly showed me when he suddenly brought forth and outstretched his arms in front of him. As he did so, mists started to form and gather in front of him at rapid speed, swirling and whirling like the eye of a hurricane.

Suddenly, the vortex bursts to all directions like an explosion albeit a quiet one. The mists cleared and in place of it was a white and sparkly luxurious limousine. Ash indignantly said that he could even create a supersonic jet if he wanted to.

Illusion and reality seemed to twists around him. He could manifests things that were not there as well as makes things as if they were not. His powers have much versatility in them that I could only call him a cheat existence. I decided to not say anything as he is practically a God. A capable one. But he was proved to be useless this time as Wayne reprimanded him and had him dismiss the limo. Ash slumped his body in a dejected manner, while Tico and Victor amply laughed at him.

Victor had access to vast knowledge. He regretfully said that he could not have access to any knowledge or information about ‘him’ nor about the ‘Eye’ in his arsenal. Ancient knowledge in regards to the ‘Eye’ seemed to be highly classified as the Old God of Knowledge, Yhonethep himself restricted him any access.

Victor does not have the knowledge itself, but have access to them through Yhonethep, his ancestor. What makes him the God of Wisdom is that he is able to derive many possibilities, schemes and plans that is most effective and efficient in the application of the knowledge that he had access to. He is able to utilize and bring about the optimum result out of those knowledge.

Let’s say that he has access to all martial arts and mystical techniques ever existed on earth, then Victor can surely perform those martial arts and technique to its utmost potential and capabilities in its most effective and efficient manner. Truly a godly existence. I could not help but frown however, as the most wanted information remain unattained.

Wayne’s powers had been obvious to me already as I had been bounded with him for 5 years. Wayne had been adamant about increasing my strength and prowess as he trained me these 5 years. Even when I almost died in life to death struggle, injuries from battles, Wayne had left me to deal with such situations myself unless I was truly on the brink. 

He was able to judge whether or not I could actually break through those circumstances myself. Being inside me most of the time, he was able to feel my body’s limitations. It would seemed that Wayne had deemed me impossible to break through when I had faced against the Wincotts back then. My powers were unexpectedly sealed at that time too aside from them being old nemesis.

Contracted to a vessel and materialize in human physical form, the God’s powers were slightly restricted. Even then, they are plenty powerful. So I clearly had taken note not to mess with them. 

Imagine the dread I feel when they had all taken a stance against me and declared for a fight?!! 

It felt like the world is ending! Ah!
