Author’s note: I say thank you for reading the novel of the inexperienced me. Many may see my english as bad. But I will tell you that I will certainly improve. Its just that I started pumping my power into the story too much I forgot about checking my grammar. Thank you for your support. All advised are appreciated.
Part 0
In Siris’s mind, his skill in science is almost second to none. He excelled in both physics and chemistry, but one of the subjects he didn’t focus strongly into is Biology. He studies science and myth in order to bring his friends back, so Biology is not needed. Yet, he still has some basic knowledge about biology. The advantage in this is that he will be able to imagine his body’s power up more casually. On the flip side, his magic will not be able to change how the body exactly works scientifically.
Part 1
I am now 11, Ms.Rayna is teaching us how to defend one-self from monsters. But before all that, she gave us a measuring card. It basically functions similarly to a guild card from many fantasy games. It measures your power level and see the how strong you are.
Ms.Rayna says that the card will measure your power according to how much magic you put in. And the card will analyse how refined your magic is, then measure into levels. The more you train in magic, the more refine your magic is, consequently lowering the mana usage for each spell.
The card’s level varies from white->green->yellow->red->black
“Well, let’s see how much Mark’s got”
I lower the magic power I put in the card, and turning it slightly green. The rest are yellow.
“Yellow! Impossible!” The others with the exception of Hanna, who doesn’t know much about magic measuring cards shouted out in surprise.
Well, my mind capacity is 20 years older than you people y’know. And I study a lot too.
“Hmmm… Mark, can you show me some of your proudest magics?” Rayna kindly requested me for my strongest magic.
Well my strongest magic is *******. But I can’t control its destructive power yet so I can’t use it. I’ll go with this then.
“Ares, war god of the greeks, lend me your strength to crush all who opposes, both good or evil, ‘BLESSING OF THE WARRIOR!’”
I imagined the god Ares lending me his power. The divine might to crush all in the world.
I need to use the incantation since I can’t recall the myth’s full legend instantaneously. I need to clearly make the image in my mind in the future.
Power course through my veins, it feels like eating 10 bottles of energy drink and they all kick in at the same time.
I clearly sense that I need to release this new found strength somewhere and spotted a large boulder nearby.
“HAHHHHH!!!”
BAKI!!
The rock broke to little bits and pieces…
Whoops! I used a little too much power. Teehee!
This isn’t good, Rayna is staring at me in shock, and mustered a sentence our.
“Mark, who is Ares, and what is that power just now?”
Ohhhhh no, what should I answer….!@#$…
“He is ummm one of the gods a merchant that came last time told me about”
WHAT A LAME EXCUSE!!!!!!!!
“Well I’m sure he’s got his own reason teacher” Rachagal helped me out.
Thank you, I’ll be sure to give you half my meal later!
Part 2
“How did you do that Onii-chan?(The language in this is universe is kinda mixing between multiple languages, but mainly still focuses on english.)” Hanna whispered to me while walking.
“Well… magic power basically came from your imagination, so imagining a god isn’t too hard.”
“Can you teach me later Onii-chan, please, in secret?”
“Sure, why not?”
We are currently heading towards Folsom, the notorious dungeon of the Xion kingdom. We are not heading to the dungeon directly though, because the dungeon’s depth determines the strength of a monster. So usually only the monster of the upper level will emerge from the dungeon itself. And they are really weak.
Each dungeons has its own unique feature, the Falsom, for example, has multiple booby traps that even put pyramids to shame. But the monster are usually weak compared to other places. The dungeon is surrounded by jungles. There is almost no sign of human life here, except for the foot tracks on the floor.
We walked till we encountered a certain monster, a simple goblin. Its height is about a 10 year old human child, in other words the same height as me.
“I’ll take care of this” Mira confidently said while raising her staff.
Staffs are items for long range magic users. It helps increase the accuracy of magic when used at long range. They are exclusive to elves because elves usually prefer long range magic because of their weak body. The materials are made from steel, gold, silver and copper. The most important part is the elves’ blood that is used to bind the staff to the soul of the user.
Well, enough with the explaining, lets get back to reality.
The goblins charged at Karl, but a wall of thorns just popped up from the ground, piercing the chest of its fragile foe. The goblins turned to dust, leaving behind only its club carved from wood.
“Wow… that’s amazing Mira!!!” I exclaimed in awe. Her chanties magic means that she has been practicing all along. It’s destructive power combined with the element of surprise makes this magic formidable, even to a skilled fighter.
A group of goblins came rushing from the forests around, we braced ourselves and Rayna cast a simple barrier, which stopped the monsters from advancing further while she briefed us on what to do and expect.
“Now when fighting monsters, you must be cautious Monster are unpredictable, whether strong or weak, especially the weak-looking ones which often lack intelligence and attack with no care to their own life in the slightest,” she explained “Rachagal and Karl will be the vanguard, Mira, Hanna, and I will be support. And Mark will take care from the rear, attacking when it is necessary and retreat if you take considerable damage. Did I make it clear?”
“Yessss”
The barrier broke and we moved into our assigned positions. Rachagal rushed in with his great sword, while Karl rushed in with his large personally-made mace.
The goblins got crushed, sliced, and blown away one after another.
I put on my special gloves, and prepare for battle ahead.
Ryan cast healing magics at the vanguard, while Hanna brought out her gun-like tool and firing something akin to a bullet but instead just steels surrounded by magical power. The gun was powered by magic of course.
I used my Martial art to instantly deal a fatal blow to the goblins. Muay Thai is one of the strongest martial arts, since it is designed to fight rawly with technique that deals fatal damage to enemies. It overpowers other forms of martial arts since it is designed directly for war.

My gloves were made from carbon fibres with a very strong durability, with the surface made from specially aligned carbon that is the hardest in my world. Namely, diamonds.
The goblins kept on coming, and our vanguards now seemed exhausted. Then out from the forest a large bear cam rushing out of the jungle. Roaring and charging head on to us.
I immediately pulled back Rachagal and Karl, and dodged the charge. It went right pass us, crashing into a huge tree, crushing it to pieces. But that doesn’t seem to stop it at all. The goblins used this chance to come charging in as well.
“Mira, Rayna, cast water barrage on all sides NOW!”
“That’s the Sun bear, strongest in the forest, the..” Mira uttered in fear
“DO IT NOW!!”
“Water won’t stop it you know!?” Rayna voiced her opinion.
“JUST DO IT”
“Urgh… fine… Lend me thy power Pan, lord of nature, WATER BARRAGE”
Huge waves of water crashed into the goblins and the sun bear, it just slowed them down a little. But just getting them flooded is enough.
(Water’s molecule is constantly moving because of the energy that kept them moving, by absorbing all of them and change them into other source of energy, it should freeze immedietly…)
I imagined the energies seeping out of the water mass. It rapidly turned as white as snow, and freezing the monsters, temporarily immobilising them.
“Woah…” Rayna uttered in surprise
“Ms.Rayna please deploy the strongest barrier around yourself and everyone with the exception of me now please.”
“Hmm..?”
“The ice won’t stop them for long, the monsters consciousness still lingers and their bodies are starting to thaw.”
“But you should..”
“Please…” I asked of her with a serious expression.
At that moment the ice started melting and cracking.
“Fine! Everyone gather around me,” Rayna ordered “and don’t you dare die, Mark. Or Hanna’s gonna cry”
Ryan saw the gaze of a mature expression from Mark, calming her down. Its the eye of the man that is confident in his abilities.
“I won’t, trust me.”
Rayna began chanting, enveloping the group in a high level barrier.
“Onii-chan!!!” Hanna tried running towards me but thankfully Mira held her back.
I turn my gaze at the almost freed monsters, and imagine the god I am gonna impersonate. Yes the god which is said to be only second to Odin in Norse mythology, Thor himself.
Part 3
3rd person Pov
Mark chantlessly released a certain spell, the spell which draws power from the lighting god, Thor
Thor is said to control lighting, and that is one of the things that made Thor the second strongest god in Norse mythology.
At that moment Hanna witnessed a strange but majestic scene. She saw electricity covering the boy she referred as her older brother. Her hair stood on its end, cold sweat starts pouring from her neck. Her instincts tells her that the scene isn’t normal. Yes, she feels like… like WITNESSING THE POWER OF GOD HIMSELF.
“REST IN PIECES, THUNDER BOLT!!!”
BAMMMMMMMMM
Lighting from the heavens strike down with an almighty bang, destroying all the goblins below. And frying the bear to nothing. The forest around disappeared with the yellow light. The explosion so loud and fierce it lit the area ablaze.
It was the scene of god unleashing his full wrath upon the land.
Long away, Everybody in Xion heard the explosion and it later became the myth that a god has just defended from heaven, and unleashed his power.
Far away, a certain demon sensed the power strong enough to rival even him, but threw away the notion and continue training his army for war.
Then silence enveloped the forest once more.
Karl, Rachagal, Hanna,and the rest stared in awe, they didn’t even bother to question if they are still living. That is how impacting the scene seems to them.
They stared at the boy who unleashed the power, and fear engulfed them, their instincts are telling them that he is on a whole different level.Tension fills the air. They almost question him when,
Plop
They saw the boy who unleashed his power collapsed to the floor and said the word that washed all the tension.
“I’m so hungry, someone feed me please~~~”
That made the boy who was so majestic a second ago now grumbled like a 10 years old child. Ands he continues complaining about other minor problems about lacking sleep.
The others bursted into laughter, and supported the boy. They carry him back to the orphanage while praising him
“How did you do that!” Karl exclaimed
“Onii-chan, you were awesome!!” Hanna praised Mark
“Hmm, look at your state, without your allies you would have been killed by a passing slime!” Mira joked out leading to more laughters from the surrounding.
“Did you secretly train without telling me?” Ms. Rayna said calmly while expressing clear killing aura around her.
“Er.. Ms.Rayna, about this I…”
Rayna hugged Mark and said “I’m so happy you’re okay”
I got shocked for abit but, then hugged her back.
Rayna then told Mark that “From now on I forbid you from using that lighting magic, its too dangerous and too flashy. If Xion found you, they would immediately recruit you forcefully, okay?”
“Yes…”
“Now, let’s bring back our hero and party!!!” Rachagal shouted out.
“””“Yayyyy””””
“No its time to sleep”
“””””Awww….”””””
We nevertheless held a secret night party that day.
