Chapter 4
7 years have passed since the bandit attacks. Ruvreus put a magic spell on all the villagers t forget what had happened and fed them a story of a mysterious hero - this was, of course, after they cleaned up the bodies for him. Ruvreus was studying history in his quiet room. His eyes strayed towards a few words: "The Divine Abilities".
Ever since the world was created, he had always wanted to learn all the spells and martial skills in existence. After mastering all these powers, numbering in the billions of trillion, one could unlock the ultimate spell. This spell is only known as the Power to Destroy. Over the trillions of years of free time that he had, he managed to master almost every single spell and martial skill. However, when the other great creators learned of his endeavors, they rounded up the final four abilities, two spells, two martial skills, that he had not mastered and hid them all around the mortal world with the help of four great Legend ranked magician warirors. The gods put seals on them so that even he could not detected the presence of the abilities. The Legend ranked magician warriors each mastered one of these abilities and were unstoppable in combat.
Other mortals watched in reverence and named these abilities: "The Divine Abilities".
"Ruvreus!" The shout was coming from downstairs. "Come downstairs!"
Ruvreus obediently listened to his mother's call and went towards her. Beside her was his father, Zavon.
"As you know, today is your 7th birthday. In accordance to the Fourth Decree of the First King, when a child turns 7, they must take a magician warrior aptitude test. I heard that this year, one of the great sects of the country are sending a top ranking member to our village to test us because of the news they have heard of a Saint ranked magician warrior around here. " Zavon muttered "They probably just want to train another Saint ranked warrior so they can conquer the world.... What a foolish brother I have."

POV of Rendara Lightheart
My name is Rendara Lightheart. I am considered a genius in the Sect of Light; at the age of twenty, I was able to reach the Saint rank. Currently, however, I have been stuck as a bronze ranked Saint for the past three years. I can't seem to make any progress at all. A few days ago, my sect sent me to a small village called Achemon. Apparently, some multiple bronze and silver ranked Gifteds attacked this village a few years back. According to some reports, they were all defeated and killed by a single man. To kill so many Gifteds, this man had to be at least at Saint rank. Obviously, this made him a target to be recruited by multiple countries and sects. My sect sent me here to conduct the aptitude test. However, it's just an excuse for them to try and find and recruit that Saint ranker.
End of POV of Rendara Lightheart
The Sect of Light always asked a question to testers before the testing. "What is your dream?" This question decided whether they should taught or not. It told the Sect of Light if the power that they would be given would be used for good or for evil. Then the testers would go in and place their hand on a stone, which would record their current magical and martial powers. Bronze was Human ranked, silver was Gifted, and Gold was Saint. If one was over Saint rank, the stone would explode.
When Ruvreus was asked the question, he thought about it for a long time. He wanted to learn those Divine Abilities. Therefore, he needed the manpower of a country to help him.
He answered: "I wish to be an emperor."
Then he went in and put his hand on the stone that would decide his future.
