Akamine Aika's POV
The glorious sun rose from the east, slowly taking it's rightful throne in the highest of the heavens.
But.
This only meant another wretched day of being a damned infant. And to top it off, I'm a fucking girl!
Damn it. . .this is humiliating. I shouldn't have to be disgraced to this extent. I mean, yeah sure, I did fap almost everyday to h***ai and killed everyone that stood against me but still.....
Ahhhh, Screw it.
*Ahem* It seems introductions are in order. Listen carefully, mortals!
It is I, the world's most feared martial god and forefather of all otakus, Hashimoto Itsuki!
I dominate life and crush any who dares oppose me, leaving but an isolated path of destruction. I am the only King fit to relish in the treasures of mankind.
That's right.
I mean, Anime!
The beyond-beautiful utopia filled with ephemireal maidens and strong warriors. Haa... The only Arcadia that even the great I will never reach.
I live to kill.
I live to destroy.
I live to plunder.
For I am Itsuki Hashimoto, the greatest King to have ever graced the world with my presence!
" Ara Ara~ Look at our baby, honey. I think she's hungry. There, there, mommy's preparing food, okay? ", my 'mother' said, taking the accursed thing and placing it infront of my lips.
Fuck, mom! Not now, I'm busy!
Also, I refuse to suckle on those mounds! I shall not be disgrac- N-No, Pl-Please. Mercy! N-Nooooo~
....
......
........
Fuwa~ It tastes kinda goodd...
" Haha! Just look at her, she looks so happy...As expected of my wife, you know just what to do to make her happy!...Um..M-Maybe, I could hold her too..?", my 'father' questioned, his real intentions appearing.
" No! You're too rough! Last time, you almost dropped her! And, only Avesta knows what I'll do to you Itachi, if that were to happen..", my mother threatened, her eyes taking a dangerous glint.
" A-Ara? Look at the time! B-Bye dear, Love you~" My father ran away, his tail between his legs. *sigh* I won't blame him, I also know how scary my mother is especially when she's angry. Brrr.
Umu~ My stomach is full. Hmph, for a mortal you serve adequate food.
My mother took her..ugh..breast away as she safetly tucked it in her clothing.
" My little Aiko... I hope you grow up well..... *Hic* I-I'm sorry for not being able to spoil you a lot. P-Please don't *Hic* ha-hate this useless mother of yours.", my mother sobbed out her words as tears started welling up in the corner of her eyes.
Tsk, what are you saying to a baby? Well...I guess I can't be considered a baby, considering that I was well over my 20s in my past life...
Argh! Screw the troublesome things. Haa...Let's deal with the problem in front of me first.
My tiny, chubby hands slowly reached out for her cheek. As she had already placed her cheek against mine, it wasn't that great of a distance, so I was able to reach with minimum difficulty.
".. A-Ara. Do you know mommy's pain too? Are you comforting mommy? Hehe..my daughter's so cute~.", my mother cooed, rubbing her cheeks against me.
Hmph, That's right. You should be lucky that you have me as a daughter, woman. Now that I am here, I'll change everything!
From this unsightly junk into a giant mansion! From our fallen family into a great divine family that even the gods will have to recognise!
Mwahaha, just a little more, and I'll show the world that it messed with the wrong person.
Just....a little....more.
Darkness soon consumed me, my mother gently rocking me back and forth in her soft arms.
♤¿♧
Timeskip: 14 years later.
" Aiko~ Breakfast is ready~.", my mother called out from the kitchen.
I stopped my martial art training as I let out a long exhale, the traditional way to cool down and relax one's body as I checked the self made training room, returning the gravity that I had manipulated to 50x around me, to it's original state.
My bones and muscles relaxed and contracted immediately, reliably adapting to the environment.
The training room was something I had made for obvious reasons with my authority over the element of Earth and built it beside our garden as I like the fresh air when I exit.
But more importantly, I discovered magic. Or, more specifically, "Avesta" as it was called here.
If I recalled, it was around...ah! my 5th birthday when my parents used it to blow out the birthday candles. And, almost instantly my otaku senses demanded me to master it.
And thus, I delved into the art of Avesta.
When my parents found out I could use Avesta, they were so excited and proud that they had cried on my undersized shoulders, telling me that I was a genius and the like.
It appears that the chance of using Avesta was very rare. One in a hundred, in fact.
But, who cares about that.
Fufufu, It's only natural that I, a king of kings, has the ability to wield Avesta.
As I experimented with and tested the newfound Avesta, I found something ...exhilirating, to say the least.
Avesta was branched into seven main elements, as hypothesized by the otakus of my world.
The Element of Light: It holds obvious dominance over all conceivable aspects of light itself, but also includes within its 'jurisdiction' certain telepathic, telekinetic and psychological powers.
The Element of Darkness: It encompasses a wide range of abilities of a decidedly 'evil' nature. Certain emotions such as fear and madness and even death is also a common, recurring theme among Darkness users, aside from the usual powers over shadows.
The Element of Nature: It encompasses dual areas of influence that most tend to overlook. Beside the obvious control over plant and life and similar material, Nature also includes air and sky-related aspects. It also dominates over certain weather features.
The Element of Water: It includes all of its aspects and forms as well as its liquid state. This includes ice, snow, steam, etc. and various (negative temperature) related abilities.
The Element of Fire: It extends beyond that of simple governance of ignition and combustion and can include materials such as ash, smoke, molten substances and other derivatives of Fire itself.
The Element of Earth: It includes control over all manners of stone, dirt, metals as well as planetary forces such as gravity (This is mine).
The Element of Spirit: It extends its reach over life tself, and includes powers of strength, durability, speed, etc. Mental and various imagination-based powers are also at their strongest here.
It seems I have a very, very high compatibility with Earth, Fire and Nature. Even I don't understand how the hell I could even have an ounce of compatibility with nature, considering my destructive nature, whereas the fire compatibility is inherited from my parents.
Oh well, I got free food in the end, so I'm not complaining~

I wiped my sweat off with a basic water spell, and used nature or more specifically, wind-type Avesta to dry myself. Then, I changed into my homewear, consisting of a white dress, red ribbons on my hair and golden, teardrops for earrings and looked at my reflection in the mirror.
Long, braided pale, golden hair, succulent red lips, cerulean blue eyes, well-toned, lithe body, the perfect blend between a warrior and a woman.
Perfect.
As I went into the kitchen, I looked around this masion I bought for my parent's anniversary. It was basically, a traditional-style two-layered Japanese house that posesses a courtyard, koi pond, and a sand pit on the outisde.
Inside, there was the genkan, an entrance hall where people remove footwear, common sliding doors, tatami mat flooring and wooden engawa verandas.
" Ara, Aika you're finally here. Make haste, It's time to eat." my mother said, giving me a bowl of rice.
My mother sat at the left of the round table whereas I sat at the right and my father, the front or "head" seat.
Hmm..tender meat, mashed potatoes, whole stuffed chicken, luxurious lobsters, moose milk cheese, caviar and a divine....beast's meat?
Fumu, fumu~ It seems today's meal is a bit royal compared to the other day. Perhaps we're celebrating something?
.......
..........
Wait a minute.
How the heck did we have enough money to buy all of this in the first place?!
" Mother! Father! Will our finances not suffer if we spend in on such luxurious cuisine?!", I asked, "Even more so, when did we possess enough money to purchase these?!"
" Hahaha, your shock is much expected.. *Ahem* There's been something we've been meaning to tell you.", my father announced with a serious expression replacing the usual happy-go-lucky mood of his.
" Yes, indeed. It may have appeared that the World Academy of Japan has somehow heard of your talent and are willing to enroll you into it...and as a special student, no less!", my mother dropped a bombshell yet her mood brightened up more and more.
Now then, I may or may not have recreated some..um..objects from the countless animes that I have watched using my domain over the element of earth and fire to pay off our debts and earn some money...
Yup, I'm definently not in the wrong here.
" Uh..That's great? But, mother there is still the fact that I am underaged to even attend the Academy, seeing as the youngest there is well over 15! Unless, *sighs* the Academy fixed that too...", I stated, the validity of my point decreasing per word.
Ah....fuck. I just dug myself a grave didn't I? Damn that glorified, filthy rich Academy and my restless mouth!
" The [Xerox] will be here to come and pick you up tomorrow morning. So, it's best if you pack up your things now, little one.", my father remarked calmly. Whereas, Mother looked proud that her only daughter was granted such honour.
To put it simply, the [Xerox] would be akin to my homeworld's car. However, it has a clear distinction.
For one, the [Xerox] didn't require wheels and basically, levitated due to magnetic suspension and a bit of... Avesta.Futhermore, It doesn't use the process of combustion and basically rely on magic dusts as it's energy source, making it extremely eco-friendly. It also comes in with all the features of a boat, car and plane combined.
Scurrying out of my thoughts, I obeyed and went to my room, readying myself to prepare for the surely surprising spectacles of tomorrow.
After I finished my duties, I noticed that it had been evening where the sun was creeping towards it's bed.
Maybe I'll just go for a walk? I mean, there's really nothing much to do here except train or learn..
Meh, I'll walk. I can do the latter at the Academy anyway.
You see, my family's mansion was situated just a couple feet away from the local park so I pretty much go there and take a walk when I'm bored.
When I arrived at the oversized park, I stretched a bit and lightly jogged around the place.
Ah, there's the water fountain , floating benches, ice-cream stand and where's the..uh...Ah! There it is!
My favourite spot.
The Elder Sakura Tree.
It stood at a magnificent 200 feet, and is about 50, 000 cubic feet( 1415.8423 cubic metres) in volume. It's soft, sashaying pink leaves and the calming aura it exuded attracted me the very moment I laid my eyes on it. As such, I claimed territory over it.
But, that's a story for another time.
I stopped jogging and did a couple relaxation exercises before sitting under the grand tree's shade.
Ah~ This feeling is the best~ I wish I could stay here forever... Ma~ It's mine anyways, so it's not like it's gonna run away..
Maybe, I coul- Wait, something's wrong.
This dark atmosphere, the falling leaves have stopped in time, and the odd feeling of dread seems to encompass my every being..
What is this?....Wait, It can't be?!
"...So, you've noticed. Not bad.", the unknown being said, "Even If I may have fallen, looks like my instincts did not fail me. Tsk...how filthy. So, it's true, you do bear the detested blood of an Anomaly. Well, at least you'll prove to be entertaining. Fret not ,for, I have stopped time around us as I do not wish any to take my prey, especially one as a high caliber as you. ", the Entity snarled, it's features blocked by a shallow yet deep haze.
"...Why have you come here, Entity. I believe I have nothing in possesion that interests you? However, if it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you'll get. " I spat out, my entire being shaking with anger and wrath at the disdain shown upon me
I am the King of Kings.
I am the overseer of mankind.
I will not cower and be shown disdain, be it from god or devil.
" Kakaka! Well said, mortal! I can sense the seething wrath from your soul. Hahaha, If you're wondering how I passed your lofty mortal barriers, you could say...I'm a bit special.", the god smirked.
" Well, that makes the two of us. Haa...Let's just get this started. I am the King of Kings, Akamine Aiko and the being who will defeat you. ", I declared as my body automatically took a stance.
This god is dangerous. I can feel it, hell even a child could sense it!
But, I am a Highking who has conquered a world. Even if I may have the body of a 14 year old girl, it's been trained enough to at least endure a fight with an Entity.
" Imm, you possess an adequate Avesta reserve and your World comprehension isn't bad, even on par with mine...Tsk, It's too bad you belong to that filthy category...or I would have recruited you in a heartbeat! Oh well, blame fate for giving you that body! Listen carefully, mortal! I am the one who bears the sins of gods. Fallen I may be, I still retain power equal to a god. My name is Angra Mainyu, the god of sins! ", The god of sins roared, the space around us shaking in submission.
[Mors]
I called my beloved spear into reality and grabbed the hilt that soon appeared from the small, glowing "gate" in space.
It possessed detailed engravings of ancient words all the way to the tip of the spear. The blade of the spear was a sharp, bloody red much like it's body, accompanied by two wings at either sides of the blade. The butt of the blade was diamond-shaped and had much a simliarity with the blade.
" Death, hmm. Crude but a good choice of name for the bloody spear. Hahaha, As I am now it might even harm me lest I grew complacent! Well, enough chit-chat! Let us fight to the death!", the Sinful god exclaimed, the darkness around him forming into countless bladed weapon.
I clutched the crimson spear at my hands and twirled it in front of me, deflecting every projectile shot at me with absolute success.
I then, called upon my domain over Earth and Fire to create chains that would bind the damn arrogant god.
Chains of lava rose up from thr ground and attempted to bind the god to the world for all eternity to come. However, The fallen god was no fool as he noticed it immediately and...ate it?
Wait, what?!
" Ah. Didn't I tell you? I am the construct of the sins and as such, gain the right to manipulate them. Now then, on with our battle! " The god declared as he assimilated the earth element and conjured it against me in the form of golems.
Oyoy, Isn't he basically saying he has domain over the seven primal sins? Fucking cheat!
[ Sol benevolentia ]
Two magnificent mass of fire formed above me as I threw the scorching suns at the golems, perfectly disintegrating them down to the cellular level yet my sense of success was short lived.
" [ Wrath ] ", a voice intoned as I felt immediate, searing pain in my left side , throwing me a good couple metres away.
I flipped my body backwards like a cartwheel, trying to stop my momentum while circulating my Nature Avesta to heal the burning injury on my body.
I eventually regained stability but had no space to breathe as I quickly ducked a flaming spear thrust that would have surely decapitate me.
We exchanged a flurry of stabs and thrusts, our spears coated in mystical fire, his a cursed, void black whereas mine was a holy, blinding white.
Eventually, I saw an opening in the enemy's defense as I wasted no time in exploiting it. I twisted my hip at left leg, and pushed my right leg, effectively thrusting at the god's stomach.
The spear in my hands gleamed in glory while lodging itself in the god's stomach, trembling in excitement at the taste of a god's ichor.
" Kuk! [Envy]! " , Angra Mainyu intoned, kicking my body as his rejected the spear and leaping hundreds of metres away from me in but a heartbeat.All the while, his deathly wound quickly healed, scoffing at the once fatal wound created by my cursed spear.
The fallen god seemed to have noticed my confusion and smirked, " [Envy] allows me to gain what my opponent have in contrast to what I don't have, though....it does have limitations since I lost my godly body. "
......
.........
What a bullshit ability! Then, doesn't that mean he already has most of my abilities?! No wait, he said "limitations."
*Sighs* such a troublesome opponent.
But...a worthy one.
A smirk grew on my face, as I released all the limiters I had placed on my body and stabbed the butt of my spear on the ground.
[Banc Dei]
The mystic words engraved on my spear came into existance, shrieking and screeching it's annoyance at those who dared to awaken it from it's slumber. The words formed into an abominal apparition at my back as it's hollow "eyes" stared at the stunned god, a twisted smile on it's face.
It let out a distorted roar and soon, fused itself with me.
" Mmn~ ", a moan escaped my mouth, while my physique was adapting a dark red colour accompanied by the cursed words that were inscribed all over my figure. My hair turned white, a single horn on my forehead and a war dress that hugged my body ever so gently.
This form hightens my senses to the extreme, and in a life or death situation, my "sixth" sense will open, allowing me to predict any attacks. It also improves my physical and Avesta abilities by many folds. However, the downside is that I will suffer a painful 2 hour in bed...
To make a comparison, it would be similar to Guy's Eigth Inner Gates from N***to.
" You've made a contract, I see. But, that will not be enough to defeat me, mortal! [Wrath] ", The god intoned as the miasma that hid 'it' finally disappeared, and instead, replaced by a handsome man.
He wore a red bandana on his head, with black Zoroastrian curses all over his upper body that laid bare for the eyes to feast upon whereas a red roman skirt hid his lower body.
We stared at each other for a good couples seconds until we lunged at each other, our bodies transforming into a blur of black and red while exchanging blows, unfortunately, leaving behind deep depressions.
Stab. Dodge. Dodge. Thrust. Block.
Strike at neck? No, dodge.
Kick. Guard Break, Opening. Hit to the head.
Enemy recuperating, Opening! Throw Spear, hit.
No good, he'll use [Envy]. Avesta Burst.
" Kuha! Arghh, You filthy insecttt!! Dieee [Pride]! ", the god yelled, his attempt to use [Envy] failed, his left hand exploding from the backlash.
I sensed immediate danger from the new [Sin] the fallen god called upon so I retrieved my spear, and held it with two hands, my body crounching and the spear facing downwards, my eyes warily staring at the transforming giant of a god whose wounds had healed completly.
" Kakaka, [Pride] is a bit special, you see. It allows me to ignore all and every attack for 5 minutes in this body, be it physical or magic while increasing all of my abilities and skills to the maximum! But, it's really a shame I lost my former body, if not I can maintain this state for days! Now then, entertain me child of man! ", the god laughed, his left hand cocked back and his right in front.
Fuck! This god is way too OP! But, no matter. That means I just have to dodge his attacks for the next five minutes. If I am right, using such a grand skill should prove to be taxing for him. Umu~ I shall strike then.
!!
My senses flared to life as I quickly bolted back, skipping a few metres easily. In the place I once was, a huge depression of 50 metress laid, wallowing in agony.
" Hmm. You managed to dodge it, Not bad for a mortal.", the god murmured, arrogantly levitating into the air from the depression.
" Hmph. Don't be too arrogant, fallen God. That must have been how you fell, right?", I taunted, trying to get him to make mistakes.
And, mistakes he made.
4 minutes
I altered the direction of his incoming kick to the side as a powerful gale split across my face.
[Bhuddha's Palma]
A giant humanoid palm rose from the ground, attempting to crush the sinful god.
3 minutes
It failed, of course. But, it's fine that was just a distraction.
[Solem In Gloria!]
A sphere of raging black lightning and flames rose above me as I compressed it into the size of a coin and shot it at the distracted Entity, leaving gale and thunder in it's path.
Booom!
It obliterated his body, down to the atomic level. In response, the body reformed back at the speed of light, easily surpassing mere "regeneration" and now tilted more on "Unrealistic Revival".
So, this is what he meant by ignoring all and every attack. Tch, what a pain!
" [Sloth] ", the god intoned as almost all of my strength was sapped away, leaving me defenseless.
He rushed at me, leaving minor meteor sized craters at every step while I was in a temporary vegetable state and eventually crashed into me.
" Guha! ", an undignified yelp escaped my lips as my body shot off in the direction of the force at an unprecedented speed, bones and joints breaking in the process.
Ah...shit, I should have taken his other [Sins] into account..Fuck, I can't feel my body..
A giant hand grabbed ahold of my neck, effortlessly lifting me up as a monstrous face came into my bloody view.
" Kakaka, you did well in entertaining me, mortal. But, alas the time has come. Die in honour, knowing that you were killed by the High God of sins!", he roared at me, his shadow of a hand slowly creeping up on my heart.
" Y-*ugh* You should have gone for the head.", I whispered, a crimson manical grin forming on my lips. [A.N: Anyone get the reference? Wink [https://www.royalroadcdn.com/public/smilies/wink.png] ]
0 second
The ungodly aura that surrounded the fallen god dissapeared as his body shrunk into it's original size, effectively releasing my neck.
He grew weak.
Worthless.
An easy prey.
[Tempus est ad mortem!]
I intoned as my beloved spear flew to my aid, morphing into an ominous crimson-black aspect of itself while myriads of thunder and fire descended from the heavens, blessing my bloodthirsty spear.
I grabbed the unrelenting spear of death and adapted a throwing position, aiming at the panicking god.
Once I had a clear aim at his head, I grasped my beloved spear tightly and threw it at the god, the destructive elements of nature annihilating everything in it's path.
" Y-You damnn mortalll!", The god screamed in anger and anguish as my spear struck true to his heart.
I watched as his body was trapped and compressed in a sphere of death, shrinking continuosly until his very existence was erased from all planes in the universe.
" Haaa...", I released the long breath I didn't know I had been holding on as all of my strength left my body, falling helplessly on the ground.
Kukuku, so that's what fighting a god feels like.. It's exhilirating! Amazing! Awesome!
But, seriously that was a low class god? Granted, he may have fallen but still... *sighs* I guess I won't be fighting against any of them soon.
Wait a minute, what's that? It looks like some sort of elemental dust? But, it's pure black, must be some sort of curse left behind by that god. Wait, why does it look like it's coming towards me?
Oy! Fuck! Don't you have any respect towards your seniors! Shit.
The black mist surrounded me, entering through my orifices attempting to reconstruct my body as a vessel for the god.
This little piece of shit dares attempt to control me?! Even if I bare no defenses right now, like hell I'll let a mere will control me!
I channelled whatever strength and Avesta I had in me to wrestle against the invader. My eyes flickered between the original blue and the god's golden orbs.
" Hnghh! I. am. a. King. Of. Kings!", I yelled my sutra, the one that made me who I was, as power and will surged through my body, dominating the will of the god.
A pillar of ethereal light mixed of black and gold rose through the skies, piercing the heavens, announcing it of it's impending doom and the rise of a High King.
Whereas my body was wrapped in a cocoon of ever-changing colors, my conscience slipping through my grasp. But, it's fine.
I can feel it.
My body is evolving.
It's entering a higher realm.
Haha, who knew reaping a god would yield such good rewards....Shit....
....For..now, I..'ll...sleep.
