Deep within the Great Wildlands Forest, outside the territory of the SunBurn kingdom, stood a boy who appeared to be around 12 years old. With black-as-night medium-length hair and sapphire blue eyes, his features were so perfect that they put even the Gods to shame.

He stood on the edge of a deep pit that was once a harmless mountain…

"I think it's about time I go explore this world a bit. Cultivating is one of the best things ever, but I feel that to gain power even faster, I need to fight strong enemies and increase my combat power through battle…”

“I can hardly wait to start finding some fun situations to intervene in the middle of!! Maybe a dragon and Phoenix are out there fighting somewhere and they need me to intervene!! Where I will then beat them both to a pulp and cook them into a delicious stew!!"

"Or maybe a damsel in distress needs my help because an evil DemonLord captured her, and like the gentleman I am…”

“I will go and fight the DemonLord to my heart's content and after beating the Demon Lord to a pulp, I will kidnap the damsel myself to then proceed to drop her in a forest full of monsters!! If she gets captured then she obviously needs some toughening up, and what better way to toughen someone up than a horde of monsters, right?!?!"

The young prince started to have ludicrous thoughts again as he thought of the adventures he would have in this world called Asterion.

That was until he realized that he had forgotten something quite important…

"Hold your horses, me!! You forgot something quite important that you need to do first before you venture out into this wide new world of yours."

"I need a NAME!"

"A name that fits me to a T... but what should that name be?"

"Hmm... It has to be something cool and maybe a little domineering. It can't be too flashy or pompous sounding either."

"How about…”

“Azmond!"

"It has a very nice ring to it, although it sounds a little like some sort of demon lord's name which doesn't really suit my kind and gentle personality... but who honestly cares about small details like that, HahaHaha!"

The young prince now named Azmond was lost in his own little fantasy where he thought he was some sort of saint...

He has totally lost it if he has started thinking that he is a gentle and kind-hearted person.

Azmond then begins to walk in a random direction at inhuman speeds in the ridiculously large Great Wildlands forest until he finds something that can give him a good fight.

A couple of minutes later, Azmond encounters his first enemy in this strange new world of cultivation…

A short and green-looking creature around 3 feet tall with a hideous wart-infested face and large pointy ears suddenly popped out of a bush a few hundred meters in front of Azmond.

Azmond stopped in his tracks and took a good look at the hideous creature, and only one thought occupied his mind at that moment, 'Is that a fricking GOBLIN?!?'

At that moment, Azmond finally understood the gravity of the situation that he was in a whole other world than the one he was used to…

A new world where monsters and beings of all sorts and sizes roam around wherever they please…

A world where Azmond can fight monsters and mythical creatures whenever he feels like it.

Azmond conveniently forgot the fact that he had been living with a 10-meter large White Wolf for months!

Not to mention the fact that he was able to cultivate and cause mass destruction with just a punch!...

His body, which looked like that of a 12-year-old when he was, in reality, not even 2 years old, just conveniently slipped Azmond's mind as well.

What really let the fact that he was in a new mysterious world settle in was one single ugly green monster.

"A new world huh? Oh, what fun I'll have with you..."

Azmond smiled his usual creepy smile as he looked at the Goblin in front of him with predatory eyes.

Azmond slowly walked up to the Goblin with that same smile until the goblin finally saw the monster approaching it.

When the goblin looked into the eyes of the creature before it...

Fear.

It felt fear for the very first time in its life, fear that came from the very soul of its being telling it that it would die soon.

The goblin has seen many creatures out there stronger than it was... but the creature before it was different...

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

It was a primal sort of fear, a fear that was different from the weak encountering the strong.

The goblin was afraid! Not so much of its certain death, but of what would happen to it if it didn't fight back…

It was afraid of angering the monster before it; the goblin needed to die first before the being became angry at how weak it was.

But how? The goblin couldn't move, it couldn't speak, it couldn't even breathe out of fear of the being in front of it…

It wanted to just run up to the being and get its death over with.

But it couldn't…

So the goblin just stood there staring, staring at the monster coming towards it with a creepy smile on his handsome face.

It stood there motionless for what felt like ages, but in reality, not even a full second had passed since it first spotted the handsome monster.

As the seconds ticked by, the scary monster was now mere inches away from the goblin, and that was when the goblin heard the monster speak for the first time since it arrived, with a voice so deep and husky... that the goblin pissed itself out of fear.

"Do something!!!! Anything!!"

The scary monster commanded, but the goblin was frozen in fear. It couldn't do anything even if it wanted to.

"Disappointing..."

The scary monster's creepy smile turned into a slight frown when it saw the goblin not move an inch out of fear.

"Such a disappointment..."

"My first real monster fight was supposed to be fun, something exciting... but this is what I got instead..."

The scary monster's frown only got deeper and deeper, which horrified the goblin even more.

"Whatever, let's just get this over with, shall we?"

The goblin put on a relieved expression when it heard the scary monster say those words; it just wanted to get its life done and over with.

"Is what you thought I'd say, didn't you?!? That would be oh so nice for you now wouldn't it?? Well, too bad~. I will show you what happens to cowardly little green pigs who ruin my fun!"

The goblin already began to close its eyes when it thought it was gonna get a quick death, but it opened its eyes in absolute terror when it heard what the scary monster just said.

"I wonder if you like dirt, little green P-I-G-G-Y?!?"

Azmond asked the goblin with a demonic look on his handsome face.

Info Dump Down Below, Reader be warned!

Azmond learned a few abilities after he broke through to Quantum Qi Condensation which he learned from the second section of the Divine Devil Arts.

One of those abilities was an Earth-related ability, an ability called Earth Dominion that allowed Azmond to conjure up the Earth Element to control however he pleased, as long as his energy storage was large enough, and his technique proficiency was high enough.

Each of Azmond's 1000 qi cyclones is like a large energy storage container inside his dantian space with the qi that makes up the cyclones the energy that he has available, and the cyclones themselves the containers.

Ability classification in the world of Asterion is divided into |5 Main ranks from lowest to highest ---> Common --> Mortal --> Sky --> Earth --> Heaven| with each rank further divided into 4 levels which are from lowest to highest |Low --> Middle --> High --> Top|.

An example would be Azmond's Earth Dominion skill which is Middle/Mid ranked Mortal Class skill.

A mid-rank mortal class skill book could be the sect heirloom of a very small sect.

Ability Proficiency Rank on the other hand is divided into 6 ranks from lowest to highest |Beginner Proficiency --> Minor Proficiency --> Greater Proficiency --> Complete Proficiency --> Mastered --> Assimilated|

Info Dump Over, You made it back Alive Soldier!

......

"Since You don't want to have fun fighting me, little green piggy... then I will just make my own fun!!"

Azmond then used Earth Dominion to conjure up a giant glob of the Earth element which he then molded into a giant 10-meter large floating hand. He made the hand grab the frozen-in-fear goblin and brought the goblin right up close to his face as he gave the most terrifying stare the goblin had ever seen.

"Have You Ever Been Drowned In Mud Little Pig?!?"

Azmond had an insane look on his face as he said those words while staring directly into the eyes of the terrified goblin.

Azmond began to use another skill he gained from The Divine Devil Arts Scripture - |Water Dominion|.

A skill very similar to his Earth Dominion skill except it gives him the ability to control the Water Element instead.

|Water Dominion| is also a Mid-Mortal Ranked skill.

Azmond then conjured up a 5-meter sphere of water that he combined with the Giant Earth Hand to make a 12-meter mud hand.

"Not exactly what I was hoping for but I can't expect much more when Both my Earth And Water Dominion skills are still at beginner proficiency." Azmond gave a slight look of disappointment but quickly went back to the task at hand.

"Now let's see how far you can fly, little green piggy!!"

Azmond squished the Mud hand with his qi and molded it into a 15-meter-long spear.

He held the mud spear in some magical way as he lunged forward and threw the spear with everything he had in the direction of a Large mountain 10's of miles away.

BOOooM* BOOooM* WSssTStsTttttSTtttt*

The spear traveled at insane speeds as it made 2 sonic booms on its way to the mountain peak.

The Spear made it to the mountain peak with an explosion that destroyed part of the mountain.

The goblin was still inside the mud spear slowly suffocating to death with no way to escape…

It struggled and struggled, regretting ever going into the forest that morning and meeting that psychopath.

.........

It took 5 minutes for the goblins' suffering to come to an end as life faded out of its eyes…

"I should work on increasing the proficiencies of those 2 skills. I can imagine a plethora of different combinations and ways to use them."

Azmond had a satisfied look on his previously disappointed facial expression as he began to walk in a random direction at insane speeds again...

Trying to find something that would put up a decent fight…
