Heya Guysssss,

Here's the new chapter. I was heavily influenced by various Xianxia novels for this one. My inital base of this story was, 'what would happen if someone like Harry Hart from the Kingsman movie, was put into a world similar to Coiling Dragon', but that slowly evolved into this, i am truly enjoying writing it, and i promise to get another chapter depending on the reception. I scrapped the idea of doing a douluo dalu/combat continent type universe btw.

Check out my other fiction:

He gave small bow spreading his arms to the side, the white thick mist no longer flowed from his eyes and they were back to normal. Well, as normal as they could be when they were completely white. He slowly paced back to the desk sat down on his chair, putting his arms over the desk he crisscrossed his fingers and looked at me, I could not tell if there held any emotion in this man, but sure as hell could tell that he was incredibly powerful, and powerful men tended to be devoid of emotion.

“Enzo Demidov, your daughter by no means is a saint, and you of all people obviously knows this right?” He said still in a somewhat mocking tone.

“Yes,” I said, using the indifferent tone, which naturally came to from my Demidov blood. I could no longer ignore the Godsman’s code, I may have been able to ignore, when I was at the pinnacle of power but now I seemed less than insignificant. In front of this being that went against every scientific belief I held, I could no longer be complacent of the code. Godsman’s code, ‘Never yield to someone weaker than yourself’ also could be interpreted as yield to someone stronger than yourself.

“Your daughters’ a real piece of work you know, she justified her own rash behavior time and time again, blaming it on you, you seemed to be her reason for being such a…excuse my language ‘whore’,” he said still with the stupid smirk across his face.

“I have never done anything wrong to her, she had the best, the best family, the best education what more could she want. There are children in the world living with neither of those.” I said, looking at him with a dignified expression on my face. But with a burning hot ball of anger in me. I clenched my fist so hard, even air couldn't probably escape it.

“Ahahah, it seems you are employing your Godsman’s code, not revealing your anger, in front of someone stronger than you. No wonder the other men coveted you as their leader, you know went to step down. I guess you do take the code seriously. Well the matter of the fact is your daughter is in the 8th circle of hell, I didn't even need to judge her, she was directly sent to Malebolge, and is continuously getting ripped apart, and put back together, with her memory erased each time so she doesn't get used to the pain,” He said

“How do I get her out,” I said. Deciding to shut off my emotions then, I could no longer keep it in without doing so. This man was purposefully aggravating me. I knew he could crush me but I need to know where she is before I take my action.

My mind was calculating analyzing, on how to get to her. My brain didn't help, I could not come up with anything, this entire notion of hell and heaven may have their own laws governing it, I had no knowledge of that. I had read Dante’s Inferno, and the 8th circle was the second deepest region and to get there I had to…I didn't know…my train of thought was interrupted by the clearing of Keres’ throat.

“Ahem, ahem, you can’t even perceive going down there mortal. My brother owns hell and he doesn't take to intruders lightly. The only mortal who had ever been able to visit him was Aligheri, but that as just so he could design hell. And you are nowhere near hell how do you think you will get there, ” He said looking at me.

“Where am I?” I questioned.

“Oh forgot to explain, you are right in between the two actually, most souls do not look up to notice what’s over their heads, you will see that.” pointing his finger to the top.

“That’s heaven. I guess the wails of the people downstairs kinda makes it seem like hell doesn't it,” he said jovially.

I looked up to see that the sky was clear blue with beautiful white clouds, the whole sky seemed to give a resplendent light as I gazed at it. It was inviting and seemed as though a place where dreams would come true.

“But onto the main point, I can see that you have shut off your emotions, which will probably make this conversation easier. You Enzo are a man who has done more to your world, than any other man that ever in existence. You have not only saved countless lives continuously, but you have rid the world of some truly vile and sick people. I even see that you have spent countless amounts of money helping children across the world that are in need of education, food and other basic necessities, and another thing that truly astounds me is you never took any credit for it. You continuously invested money into the research of curing terminal diseases. You adhered to the code extremely well and never did anything unsightly always thinking of ways to improve yourself. You were one of the best for sticking to the code, you took the Godsman as a bible but your only fatal flaw was that you care too much for your family.” He said

“In a normal circumstance I would never encounter such a man in the realm of judging, but I intercepted you before my sister upstairs could get her hands on you. Do you know why Enzo ?” he questioned me.

My mind was continuously processing all the information he had given me. Heaven, Hell I thought to myself. I didn't know, I was still processing the heaven and hell part.

“I would like to give you an opportunity, how does that sound. Normally if you had gone upstairs to my sister’s realm you would become an archangel and continue protecting people in various realms around the universe. But I intercepted you and decided to strike a bargain. How would you like to live again,” he questioned.

“I would not,” I said, clear and precise. I didn't want to live again. If I were meant to go to Heaven then I might as well ascend there now, why go through pain and pleasure all over again.

“Ahaha, I knew you would say that. That's why I decided to strike a bargain, how would you like to save your daughter?” He questioned, now with white mist seeping out of his eyes again, this time it wasn't hostile, it almost looked like…excitement?

The thought of my only daughter being relentlessly tortured and torn apart, made my heart ache, a deep excruciating pain would emerge from just picturing it. I had to save her, and he was giving me the means, of course I would take it.

“Truth be told Enzo, I am bored, I am bored out of my mind. My brother Thanatos, is always angry and edgy and my sister Minerva is always freakin happy. I only have these people to entertain me,” and he pointed to my back signaling at the millions behind me.

“These people are the ones who aren’t clearly good, or clearly bad, and they will be judged by me and sent to my sister or my brother. Have you noticed something about these people Enzo?” he said

I looked at them, I had not clearly seen them before but when I concentrated I noticed that they were all shapes and sizes. Some seemed not to be human either, with small wings and sometimes even ears sticking out from the top of their heads. I carefully saw that their attire vastly differed from mine. I was dressed in my pinstriped Valentino suit, with an open collar myself, but the others, they had clothing that was not even remotely seen on my world. Some were wearing armor, while the others were wearing some tribal looking clothing, none of these people seemed from the same era as me. I even saw people with heads of various animals, and other bizarre creatures dressed in unusual clothes.  

“You see Enzo, this is the center of our Universe, and this is where all the life from all the realms meet to; either go to hell, heaven or be judged by me. My father Erebus, himself created this Universe, and we his three progeny rule it in his stead while he is training on his own little planet,” he said.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“My father was born from the endless chaos that stretched across the entirety of the universe, he himself could not be bothered, dealing with any of this so he created us three. I surprisingly held the most power out of the three, but I am less than interested in ruling a whole fuckin realm, so I decided I would judge life.” He said as if it was the most obvious of choices.

“In this Universe there are multiple small galaxies and in those galaxies there are countless planets, and in one of the planets you were born, why do you think I would care about someone as obscure as you?” he said.

I knew it was rhetorical and kept my mouth shut, deeply concentrating on his explanation.

“Because, your planet although tiny in comparison to the others is special. Like all planets yours was also born with an immense amount of mana but a meteor, which destroyed the planets core, struck it. To heal its core the planet sucked 99.99% of the ambient mana in the atmosphere and rebuilt itself. So it resulted that the planet had no ambient mana. Even with no mana, somehow there started life on this planet and your planet flourished using science to make amends. This in itself was somewhat extraordinary but then you emerged and were the first to feel the miniscule amount of mana in the air. Do you remember when you were able to finally succeed in being able to feel ‘ki’, as you call it meditating for a long time, you dismissed it thinking it was nothing but you were able to suck the last of the ambient mana into yourself, giving you a somewhat stronger body than the others in your entire planet. That's why you didn't instantly die from those three bullets that struck you,” he said with a hint of marvel in his eyes as he looked at me.

He remember the vigorous training he did while training in the martial arts of the monks in the distant Himalayan mountains. Those monks vigorously believed that through meditation you would be able to achieve a higher level of power, but to think that they were right. He had thought he felt something that time but dismissed it, as everything he learned from science was saying no such thing existed.

“The various beings behind you come from the countless planets my father created from his power.” He said pointing again at the odd creatures or humanoids behind me.

“Anyway, I will give you two choices you can ascend go to my sisters realm and live your eternity as a general archangel. It is a good life and you will be happy. The second option is in return for sending your daughter to my sister’s heaven realm, you will have to be reborn for me on a realm of my choice,” He said.

I thought about my daughter, her weak mind being repeatedly tortured, ripped apart, and tormented for eternity. I knew my daughter deserved it but as a father if I had the chance to save my daughter I would do anything.  

“I will do as you bid. But in return I want you to not only send her to heaven but also erase her memories of anything that could remind her of her past self. Don't let her return to being a…”

Before I could finish the sentence

“Done,” he said.

“I have sent her to the heaven realm, she will be born as a daughter of an archangel, so she will have a nice life; don't worry. Now on to you,” he said.

Now I could see that the mist was seeping from his eyes in enormous amounts, he was thoroughly excited. The mist was bouncing off onto the table corroding it instantly but the table continuously reformed itself.

“Ok, I am going to send you to the largest and the biggest realm in all of the universe. My father personally made it himself, and it his pride and joy. This realm contains 3 planes in the realm. Each plane is the size of a single Galaxy, and so it is extremely enormous. The middle plane is the Mortal plane, filled with humans and various humanoids as well as magical beasts. The upper plane is the plane of Devas, filled with; humanoids and magical beasts that have achieved a sufficient power in the mortal plane and chose to go to the Deva plane. The lower plane is the plane of Yama, filled with other magical beasts and humanoids that have reached sufficient power but chose to go to Yama plane instead. I think it will be a fun little surprise for you, when you find out the difference in between these planes.” He said still excited

“My father himself created this realm to choose his successor. The crazy bastard that my father is; decided that my brother and sister are not ever going to be worthy of being his successor, I made the cut but I feel there is no competition. You see this realm, Avalon is special that my father gave these people method to become immortal and become powerful enough; to one day be able to fight on par with him. But these people are not even strong enough to fight with me let alone my father who is probably millions of times stronger than me. Right now I am on the forefront of becoming his successor but I have grown tired of the lack of competition and to be honest I have no motivation whatsoever.”

I was still puzzled. Why was I being told all of this? It is just making me realize, how naïve I was thinking that I had achieved the pinnacle by becoming a Godsman. But to think that I was so low in power. I was no longer worthy of the title.

“So to make things interesting, I have decided to reincarnate your soul into my fathers plane. I believe if anyone has a chance, it is you; you could probably give me some form of a competition. I have grown bored you see. Looking at those men in that realm, Avalon in the upper and lower planes thinking they are strong, it sickens me to be completely honest with you.” He said his eyes rolling, with a hint of disdain in them.

“Don't worry, I will give you a slight head start. I will give you the technique my father, Erebus personally trained in. The technique he said gave him immense power, power of creation and annihilation. He gave it to me when he deemed Thanatos and Minerva were not going to succeed him hoping that it would help me. But I do not like it as it is tedious and takes a long time to give you power of actual value in my books. I prefer to train in my own method, my method is somewhat more…interesting,” He alleged.

“There are various humanoids and magical beasts in Avalon training in the three schools, the School of Minerva, named after my sister, who train in her techniques. The school of Thanatos, after my brother and the school of Keres named after me. Although they have been training in our techniques the strongest has barely scratched the surface of it.” He said.

He suddenly stood up came up to me and put one of his fingers on to my forehead. I then was suddenly filled with pictures of the universe the various, intricacies. Various nebulae, various black holes, galaxies flashed through my head. In the background a voice repeated in my head. The voice was filled with primordial, raw power; so strong and so commanding it made my very soul quiver.

“That is the voice of my father, I had to control its power so that you body would not rip apart,” he said with a smirk on his face stifling a chuckle.

He kept reminding me how pitifully weak i was.

“Anyway, you will not be able to be born in the normal way, as this is my first time sending someone to Avalon with the knowledge of their past intact, you will be born purely from nature just like how I was born, and you will be the first person in the realm of Avalon training in the school of Erebus” he said.

He then without giving me anytime to think flicked his hand up, and my surroundings changed immensely. I was sitting in a small clearing in the middle of a forest. Trees surrounded me and the sun was bright and shining on my face. I shielded my eyes to block the sun. When I moved my hand up, I noticed that my hands were incredibly small, I looked at my legs. I found two small tubby cute little legs. I touched my face. My hard chiseled face was replaced with a plump cute baby’s.

Oh no,no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

That idiot Keres made me a baby, a freakin baby and left in the middle of the forest.
