Hero
Volume 1
Chapter 2 – The Darwinius Kingdom
The title God of War is given only to a human, which has godlike strength. There are three Ultimate titles according to Shyvanna, one is
(A/N: Ultimate skill is the upgrade of a Unique skill. An Ultimate skill is very unique which means that only one may possess of it every once in a lifetime.)
Also according to Shyvana, an elf possessed the title
Thanks to that stupid elf, that worm is now harder to defeat.
“So if Gal`Gazur devoured the elf who has the title
“No, it is not possible. That title can only be gained through the blessing of the goddess. It is not transferable in any way.”
“I see…”
However, if the occurrence of a person having an Ultimate title gaps with 1000 years then it is not possible that I would live through to see another person having
The last person who also has
He used this title to help others for 100 years, but a year passed and the Demon Lord Kaibaruth, one of the twelve calamities, corrupted him. He destroyed the Human Empire of Aesthylon first, then the Dwarven Kingdom of Fahirdun and lastly, the Elf Village of Starfall.
All of the races stood together and managed to defeat the Ultimate titleholder within one year of battle.
There were many deaths upon this incident and it was recorded in the history to have the greatest death toll ever since the creation of the world. Now I’m the only one left possessing the
“The information you gave me was really helpful. For that, I’ll allow you to accompany me to your home town.”
“T-thank you!”
Shyvanna packed her things up and we left the camp first thing in the morning.
I travelled only with the clothes that I currently wore. I look so pity that I might cry of copper.
As we ventured out of the forest, I used
These Mantis and Killer bees are mindless monsters that just hunt and kill adventurers in their territory without even gauging their target’s strength.
We arrived in the Darwinius Kingdom early. I carried Shyvanna in my arms and jumped through the forest and mountains. She wasn’t that heavy though and in this way, we can travel faster. We reached the front gate of the Kingdom, people were lining up to enter it. When it was our turn, Shyvanna showed her adventurer’s card.
“How about that one, is he your companion?”
“Ah, yes. He is my apprentice. I brought him with me; he is from Al-Veirus village not far from here.”
The guard inspected me for a moment and nodded at the others. They let us through. I need to get one of those cards that Shyvanna has. It is quite convenient and I would definitely need it in my travels.
Next, we stopped by at an inn to grab something to eat. She shouldered all the expenses.
“What are you going to do after this?”
Shyvanna stopped eating and entered a state of thinking.
“I would go back to the guild and report about the incident…”
The death of her comrades was a heavy loss for her personally. I learned that they were a party since they were at rank E. They helped each other buy equipment and complete requests together.
(A/N: Rank E is level 21-30, the lowest rank is G, which starts at level 10. It is the minimum requirement of the guild to become an adventurer.)
After breakfast, we headed to the shrine. She offered some donation to the ones who maintain the shrine and went inside. The interior of the place was large; it was like a modern Catholic church. The ceiling was very high and the walls had unique designs. In the front was the statue of a goddess, it was like a Greek sculpture done by a very skilled artist.
As per usual, I kneeled in front of the statue. Honestly, I don’t know what to say.
“Ummm… what’s up? How are you? Could you like, descend or show yourself or something?”
I waited and looked around for a few seconds but there was no response.
Do I need to do something cool or show off my skills? Then a sudden thought popped to my head. Well, no guts no glory I guess. Shyvanna was waiting at the doorway. I approached her and borrowed her sword.
“What? Why would you need a sword?”
“Just trust me. Let me borrow it for a few seconds.”
She handed it over with a confused face. I would be too if I were in her shoes.
I stood in front of the statue, and raised my sword. The priests were alarmed and they headed towards me as if I was some sort of lunatic that needed to be held back.
I shouted with courage and sincerely announced so loud that even the people outside would hear it.
“I AM AERIUS, LEVEL 995 WITH THE RANK OF SSS+. I AM THE
With all my strength, I burrowed the sword to the floor. I expected that there would be a large crater underneath me, or the people blown away by the shockwave. However, something more amazing happened.
The statue of the goddess cracked from the feet, climbing to the head. The statue exploded but no fragment was blown away. Incredible white light enveloped the statue and I could see that there was a figure covered by that light.
Without
“You, Aerius, bearer of the ultimate title
I placed my left hand in my chest and bowed to the goddess.
“You, Aerius, have been summoned to this world, none other than me.”
“Why has thou summoned me, goddess?”
“Twelve calamities have bore its fangs upon this world and I seek people who shall destroy it. For few thousand years, the original six calamities became twelve. I shant not wait for it thee become thousandths.”
I listened to her in silent.
“Six bearers of the ultimate title has greatly failed to do their duties. Now, I seek the help of the other world. I grant you strength above all, with flow of magic endless like the ocean. However, you are young and maturity is the best way to train a warrior. You are to learn the ways of this world and grow on your own.”
The light became more intense.
“Grow maturely, recruit subordinates and train them to become the greatest that they can be. Only then, you shall defeat the calamities. Your journey has begun, I bestow you the profession above all,
The light pulsated so intense that even I was blinded upon it temporarily. The statue was back to normal. There were no priests attempting to stop me, no bystanders mocking me. I was back to the time where I was kneeling in front of the statue, seconds before I decided to announce myself.

I pondered upon my new skills. Yup, I was overpowered before and now I’m a hundred times more op. These skills are too amazing, I’m afraid I might incur civilian casualties if I couldn’t control the range of my skillls.
To test my skill, I need to battle someone or something that can withstand the damage. Who else? One of the twelve calamities of course. Alzeruth.
I left Shyvanna without any explanation. I felt like a volcano, ready to erupt anytime. I jumped towards the forest once again and headed directly to the Cave of Astheria.
I landed into the green plains. The wolves backed off and I just continued to take myself inside.
“Hey Alzeruth, how has it been?”
The King of the Dark Wolves stood up and kneeled before me.
“Not very long, my friend. How can I help you?”
“In some ways, can you cover yourself in some sort of barrier?”
“Yes, I always do so.”
He does? But I was still able to punch his limbs and destroy it in one hit. His defensive capabilities are not enough, I think.
“Watch out, Alzeruth. I’ll test my skills so cover yourself in many barriers as you can.”
“Wait—“
I simultaneously casted
It was like a nuclear explosion at point blank. The damage was so massive that the cave was wiped out. All I can see in front of me was the other side of the mountain, which was the continuation of the Forest of Ulza. There was no Alzeruth to be found.
I left the cave and found myself with hostile 500 single S Dark wolves, with their levels averaging 300. All of them charged towards me, I had no choice but to defeat them all at once. So this time, I tried to use my other skill.
“
A huge blast of lightning, like a tornado infront of me whirled around the plain. In the end, the plain was left with nothing. The grass was burnt and the ground was fried before me. I can confirm it. I wiped out one of the twelve calamities. The Dark Wolves are no more.
I went back to the Darwinius Kingdom and found Shyvanna walking in circles infront of the shrine.
“Hey, what’s wrong?”
“Y-YOU! Did you just eliminate Alzeruth, the King of Dark Wolves?!”
“Uh, yes I did. So?”
“SO?! One of the twelve calamities ate the Great Elf Archmage! After months of battle, he was finally able to penetrate the low ranks and face the Sandstorm Worm.”
“Maybe he was just too weak, in the first place.”
“Weak? His rank was SSS-, with the level of 798.”
Still, there’s a difference of almost a 100.
“He was equipped with Godlike weapons and armor. And yet, he became fodder to the Sandstorm Worm.”
Shyvanna looked at me again from top to bottom.
“Oy, that’s quite depressing. I know that I’m only wearing rags but it’s about the strength and skills, you see?”
Then in a few moments, a thousand Supreme Holy knights surrounded us with levels averaging of 200.
One Supreme holy knight walked towards me, I used

“King Alsworn, ruler of this Kingdom, seeks your presence before his throne.”
Then a thought popped to my head, should I annihilate this Kingdom also?
Nah, just joking.
I went along them peacefully.
They brought a royal carriage that is being pulled by 2 horses. The carriage was embodied with elegant colored steel and the Kingdom’s flag on the roof.
After about 15 minutes, we arrived at the main castle. The throne room was vast, the ceiling was high and the windowpanes were made out of gold. The throne itself was big in nature, jewels were embedded upon it and the seat was also made out of gold. King Alsworn sat on the throne with two Supreme Holy Knights beside him wearing full plate Obsidian armor.
(A/N: Obsidian is a metal where its durability and hardness surpasses a diamond and it has a jet-black color in nature. Obsidian is ranked second to the highest as the strongest metal in the world.)
We kneeled before the King upon our arrival.
“Rise and tell me your name.”
The King had a deep hoarse voice, which certainly fits as a man who is the highest in command.
“Thy name is Aerius, a Dragon Knight with a level of 995 and a rank of SSS+”
I could hear the nobles and knights talking to each other about my profession. It seems that it is one of a lifetime grant too.
“Your majesty, my name is Shyvanna Auron, a Holy Knight with a level of 48 and a rank of C.”
The King looked at us both and nods in approval.
“Aerius, my arch mages have reported that you singlehandedly defeat Alzeruth, one of the twelve calamities, earlier in his own cave. Is that correct?”
“Yes, your majesty.”
“You defeated him while having that pitiful equipment of yours?”
“Yes, your majesty. However, my equipment is merely a decoration in that battle. I merely used my Profession skills.”
“Ah, the skills of a Dragon Knight. Thy profession of yours is the first to be seen after so many years in this world’s existence.”
It is? I have ridiculous stats and I have a ridiculous profession. This somehow smells fishy.
“Well, we will cut to the chase. I wish to grant you equipment befitting of your level and give aid to your growth as the
“I thank of you, your majesty.”
King Alsworn stood up from his throne and walked towards us.
“Both of you shall eliminate the calamities and grant this world the peace it deserve—“
Multiple loud explosions, like mini nuclear bombs being dropped off, erupted not far from here.
Then suddenly, a knight came running inside the throne room, panting and covered in blood.
“SIRE! The Calamities, they have attacked! Four calamities have suddenly appeared out of nowhere.”
My eyes widened to the sudden report.
“OUTRAGEOUS! ASSEMBLE THE ARMY IMMEDIATELY!”
Just right after the King ordered Braun his command; a fireball flew towards the throne room like a wrecking ball. I sensed the fireball coming in and I quickly casted my spell.
“
The King and his other subordinates were safe. However, the Knights and other nobles that were in the sides of the throne room were obliterated.
From the hole that the fireball made, I could see Gal`Gazur devouring the kingdom. I could also see a Giant wearing a full plated silver armor; it was like a walking Eifel tower that is carrying a massive mace. There was also a dragon flying overhead the town, breathing hellfire flames upon the citizens. Its scales were crimson red and it had four wings that almost covered the skies.
As if those three were not enough, a Lich with the height of at least 10 feet bombarded the town with black magic. I immediately identified it as the source of the mini nuclear bombs as it was constantly releasing Abyss cores to the defending army.
(A/N: A Lich is a skeleton that can cast powerful black magic. An Abyss Core is a spherical energy with the shape of a large boulder that explodes upon contact and curses the land it affects with.)
“Aerius, wear this Kingdom’s treasures and battle these calamities. My army shall be behind you along with your battle. They will regret stepping on these holy lands!”
The Supreme holy knights cheered and raised their sword in agreement. They moved with haste, and as did I. The King guided me to the chambers where the treasure was kept. It was a full plate made out of Heaven’s Steel and the weapon was a long sword made out of the same steel also. I wore it quickly and I could feel its effect radiating unto me.
(A/N: Heaven’s Steel is ranked the strongest metal in this world. It can be mined in the floating Mountain of Seragun. Even though it is very durable, it also possesses incredibly flexibility. It can be used to create weapons and armors.)
