Monster Devourer: System - 16 Kratos

The memory given to him by the system, didn’t explain much about the mind dimension. the only thing he knew, is that, its a dimension ,where he can train and learn skill.

Neo let the system to activate the mind dimension. out of his curiosity and maybe for a chance to get stronger.

*Ding*”System consumed 100 points”

“ehhh…why didn’t it warn me before hand! ” Neo yelled in his mind

*Ding*”Dimension Activates in 3, 2, 1…..”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Neo’s mind, blackouts

a while later….

rays of ligth escaping the gaps of the tree’s in the surrounding was directed towards Neo’s closed eyes. feeling this, he slowly raised his left hand to block it, while the cool, fresh wind brushing his long unkept hair.

he felt the ticking sensation of the grass beneath him, as his whole body tried to get use to the chills in his surroundings.

“why is it, so chilly out here” Neo thougth.

he slowly stands up and suddenly notice something on he sky. after looking up Neo’s eyes widen. he saw a huge floating island rigth above his head. the floating island was bind by a huge chain which is attached to another floating island and there was another chain to it that was attached to another islands…. wait what?

Neo finally realized that the sky is filled with small island that are chained from one to another.

and in each floating island are filled with different kinds of beautiful architecture that are blending, with tree and vegetation in the said island.

Neo could not take his eyes from the sky, from amazement. when suddenly, a deep voice of a man, has taken his attention.

“what are you doing boy! ”

the voice of an old man rangs to his ears, looking down he saw an old man threw an axe towards him.

The axe was so fast, that Neo could only stare at the axe helplessly, as it pass through in the rigth side of his head, hitting leopard like creature in the skull.

the creature was covered in thick black mist. and was about to pounce on Neo. when the man successfully repelled the attack by throwing his axe.

*graoooowl*

the beast could only issued a small growl before falling to the ground, unmoving. as the mist around its body slowly dissipate, revealing a cat like creature with a body as big as a dog, and fur black as ink.

Neo subconsciously unleashed both of his twin shadow blade from fright. wounding his arms on the process.

“thats a late reaction ,coming from you, boy” the old man said in a calm manner.

the old man stretched his arms again, suddenly, the Axe started vibrating before unlodge itself from the monsters skull, and flying back the old mans hand. he then put it back to its holster, that was in his back.

“…urg” the sharp pain on is for arm has woken Neo from his daze, he clutched both of his forarm to stop wounds that, he inflected to himself from bleeding.

the old man has a bald head, and a long white beard, he was big and tall and was wearing a leather loincloth and armlets, he also has a large red tattoo across his face and upper body, Neo also saw a huge scar in his abdomen and his rigth eye.

“tell me, who are you, and what are you doing in this woods, boy? ” the old man asked in a deep voice. glaring at Neo menacingly.

but before Neo could answer, a big white bird suddenly land between them and shining in a eye blinding light, before turning into a young woman with fair white skin.

the girl looks like she was 16 or 17 years old, she has a straight , golden, long hair, gentle yet seductive face. she was wearing a white chiton dress to cover her, perfect hour glass figure.

Neo could not believe his eyes, how can such woman exists in the world,

and what the hell is going on?!.

“hello grandpa Kratos” The young woman suddenly turned his head towards the old man and wave his small cute hands,

“hmmmm!” the old man squint his eyes. angrily.

Seeing this, the smile in the girl face suddenly vanish. she straighten her posture before saying “ahhh..i mean, Sir!”

“what, is the purpose of you, coming here, Freya!” the old man said sending waves of killing intent.

“i’m tasked to guide this man, he wants you to teach him your way of figthing” Freya explained. pointing at her back. where Neo is standing.

“No!…send him back” Kratos said

“but-” Freya.

“i said, send him back!” Kratos yelled angrily before turning around.

“wait, grand-…i mean Sir! , read this letter first” Freya throw a piece of paper towards the old man , that he easily caught.

he stared at freya for a while, before reading the letter with a frowl.

few minutes later Kratos suddenly look towards Neo for a long time before looking back to Freya.

“is everything written in here, true?” Kratos suddenly asked freya..

“we, won’t dare to lie” Freya shrugged her shoulders.

“then, send him back” Kratos said in a more calm manner. he stared at Neo for the last time before walking away.

Freya turned around and sent a message to Neo.

*Ding* “what are you waiting for, this is your chance to become stronger! grab it!”

Neo who absent mindedly watching scene, suddenly realized, whats happening.

Freya must be the goddess subordinate, and now she wants him to plead, the old man named kratos to teach him how to figth.

“Mr Kratos!” Neo suddenly yelled.

“go…home, boy” Kratos said without turning around.

“But…I won’t have a home, if I didn’t become strong enougth to defend it!”.Neo yelled to him loudly.

hearing this kratos steps comes to an halt.

Neo slowly kowtowed on the ground “i beg you!, please teach me to be strong!, i know this is a selfish request, coming from me. and i dont have anything to repay you but my respect.

i want to be strong! ,I hate running away from dangers of my world, i dont want see my sister shake from fear anymore, and I don’t what to see the people die meaningless death anymore.

so please teach me! ”

this was Neo true feelings.

after hearing Neo’s rant, Kratos who stop for a short while ,continued his step.

but after three step later, he suddenly said “follow me, boy”.
