I crouched behind the giant boulder which stood atleast thrice my height, sneakily glancing at my mother. She'd made me promise that i will keep my distance as she confronts the monster that had been chasing after us for quite a few days now. I was perfectly fine with the waiting; killing monsters just wasn't that interesting anymore.
The last few months had been hectic for me, and to honest, i was glad that we were finally in Japan. As much as leveling up was important in the world of gods and monsters, i just wasn't meant for this kind of single-minded focus and commitment.
I could confidently state that I've faced a wide variety of monsters in the past half-a-year. From devils and minotaurs to lamiae and harpies. From dullahans and skeletons to Fairies and unicorns. I'd seen much, and fought much. And leveled up much too. And after finally reaching japan, i was more relieved than anything. You'd think after fighting monsters all day, a normal city-life might feel lukewarm and boring to me, but nothing could be further from truth. I was genuinely glad to be done with monsters for now. Cause i needed a break. A long vacation to just relax.
And that's exactly what me and my mother planned to do. After she took care of this supposedly powerful dragon like she always does. I was excited to finally see a dragon, even if it was from five kilometres away. And yes indeed, this was my first time watching a dragon. Usually if she deemed the monster to be out of my league, she will always try to keep me away from the fight. This usually happened when any dragon came snooping around. She'd always lure the beasts away from me and fight in some secretive place where i will never come under harm.
A shame, I'd have already observed a dragon's stats before this moment if she had just let me see. But i understood her worries, so i never pushed.
Hey, atleast my stats were here to keep me company as she fought off whatever was stupid enough to track us down.

My leveling speed has been superb for the last few months, rapidly approaching 200. One thing i loved about my system was that i didn't have to worry about stats. As long as i leveled up, my stats will keep increasing consistently. Each level Increased all of my stats by one, except mental and spirit. I wanted to explore my system fully, especially the huge power difference between each tiers, but the wild and uncertain life that I've led till now had stopped my attempts from fully discovering all of its functions. The reward 'Full System Unlocked' seemed to suggest more than just my innate powers that i inherited from my parents. Even without system, I'd still have those powers right? I was the child of Zeus and Gabriel afterall. So what exactly did my system bring to the table, except giving the skills 'Gamer's Mind and Body'. There has to be more.
The frightening sound of a roaring beast broke through my thoughts and i focused back on my mother; only to find her standing in her half bikini costume with all 12 of her jet black wings spread. The boulder that i was hiding under was directly behind my mother so i couldn't see her from the front but what i did see from behind made my mind almost melt down in a puddle of goo. Gamer's mind did absolutely nothing to make me focus elsewhere. What an unreliable skill.
My eyes onces again scanned her figure guiltily, taking in her plump voluptuous behind barely covered by the black skin tight...No! Bad Mikael! I groaned to myself. This was my mother, i shouldn't think like this about her. I wasn't even in puberty yet for god's sake! And i could've sworn even as an adult i was never this perverted.
𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩...a traitorous part of my mind whispered quietly. I shut the thought down faster than Usain Bolt ever ran in his life. Nope, not going there. She was definitely my mother and i loved her like one. ...𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘪?
Goddamnit Zeus.
To distract myself, i ignored my mother's sinful figure completely and focused on the giant beast roaring down at her. How the hell did i miss such a majestic beast? This was something that should've captured my attention instantly.
The beast stood over a dozen meters tall, towering over my mother like a small building. It's body was even longer, atleast twice as big, and covered completely in shining blue scales, glinting like crystal under the heavy rays of afternoon sun. Two short but strong wings were flared across its back, also covered in the same beautiful blue scales that enveloped the rest of its body. It roared down its rage at my mother, chilling mist escaping from its mouth.

What the fuck. What the hell was this weakling even thinking when challenging my mother. Seriously, what went through its brain when it decided to fight her...'oh, today looks like a good day to die! Let's go and die at the hands of this beautiful busty angel!'
I snickered, and instantly the dragon glanced towards me.
It couldn't have heard me right? I was almost five kilometres away!
Then, two more dragons came out of the ocean's water that divided japan. Both looked like miniature versions of it, though one was undoubtedly the elder, almost reaching the bigger one's massive size. The other one was much smaller, barely 7-8 meters tall, and it's scales were less glittery and more...raw.
Without wasting any time, the smaller dragon (compared to the other two) instantly took flight, flying towards my direction.
Shit.
Gabriel turned to stop it but then the adult one and the other big one were upon her, one launching a ray of crystalline water while the biggest dragon pounced on her with its teethes and claws bared.
Slightly panicking, i quickly observed the gliding beast as it's blue scales shone from the sun's rays.

Shit shit shit. A tier 5 being. I needed to escape. If it actually caught me...
Well, i did fight the alpha minotaur. Maybe i can stall this beast? It was just lvl 64 after all...No, that was foolishness. I didn't fight the minotaur, i just used it as target practice while it stood around, unable to do anything.
And my point was proven right as just a few seconds of it speeding towards me, i heard the boom of the sound barrier breaking. In just a few seconds, the beast broke through the sound barrier. And speed was its lowest stat. Holy fuck, i was dead.
I quickly turned around, releasing my wings to take in the air and get the hell out of here.
But suddenly the water behind me churned, bubbling and boiling. I glanced back to look at the dragon, and noticed a glowing bluish magic array surround the thing even as it flew towards me at an insane speed. It will probably be on me in less than 12 seconds. Covering over five kilometers in less than a dozen seconds? That's just broken.
I looked over just in time to see the churning water blast upwards like a high-pressured fountain. The water tightened up to create a wall in front of me, make me unable to escape.
The dragon wanted a fight, and it wasn't going to let me escape. I felt a dark anger rising inside me as the beast treated me like a prey, and an unknown source of pride and superiority formed that Rebeled against any being treating me like some useless prey.
Fuelled by the sudden anger, even knowing the uselessness, i decided to turn around.
I will make it pay for this.
I changed the direction of my flight, instantly blasting towards the thing at my full speed. My speed was more than 150 points above the dragon's and yet, it was travelling at 10 times my speed . How did i know that number accurately? I don't know, i just instinctively knew at what speed we were flying in the sky; i knew i was speeding past 120 miles/hour after just a second, i knew the dragon was pushing over a 1000 miles/hour, it was just instinctive. If i had to take an educated guess, I'll say it was because of my father's domain most likely.
The ridiculous difference in our speed though...it has to be tier. The difference in tier was way more massive that I'd imagined it seems.
The beast seemed momentarily surprised by my decision to fight it, before roaring towards me in challenge. I gladly accepted.
The thing was just a blur to my vision, a rocketing comet that was going to obliterate me. And yet, i just instinctively knew exactly when the thing will reach me. My senses in the air were working dozens of times faster than on land. As it zoomed in on me, i created a holy spear in a fraction of a second, and launched it directly at its head. At the speed at which it was travelling, there was no way for it to dodge such an attack from the front. It barely managed to jerk its head to let the spear pass by, and tanked my attack on its scaly body.
The attack though...the attack did nothing but create a burnt scratch and piss it off. It roared towards me, the gravelling sound of a stone gargling made me wince. Hearing it from close up was definitely a lot scarier than from a safe distance.
I didn't have more time to think because the next moment it was upon me. My heart beat like a disco-ball as the dragon's whole head opened up, showing the razor sharp teethes stuck upon its serpentine mouth. The thing snapped at me as we came into melee, and i barely managed to accelerate my flight to dodge it's whole head, it's massive stature made his high dexterity a moot point against a tiny fly like me. And enabled me to succeed in escaping, regardless of it's speed. My flight's momentum took me above it's long body and at a spur of a moment, my hand shot towards it's huge body and clutched its hard blue scales. My entire arm jerked painfully at the drastic change in speed, but i managed to hang onto the dragon as it continued at an incredible jet-like speed. With my other free hand, i accessed my inventory and removed the steel spear that I've been using for the last 5 months.
I plunged down the steel spear with all my strength, only for the spear to get deflected off of its scales. It didn't even scratch the thing like my holy spear did. I didn't falter though. I struck under it's scales this time while coating the steel edge with lightning using my skill– electric discharge. This time, it created a scratch, while sparks of electricity danced around the scales uselessly.
Fucking hell.
I put my useless weapon back in the inventory and created a holy spear. The dragon seemed to have had enough of my antiques though, cause it started buckling like a bull in midair. I desperately clutched at the scales to not fall off, and tried to wither the storm. The moment it stopped it's madness, i let go of its scales and used air and wind manipulation to let myself stay stuck for a few seconds. Then using both my hands i plunged down the holy spear in the skin between it's scales, putting all of my strength behind the stab.
The spear went in, 5 inches deep, then 6, then 7, then 8...and then it stopped completely, even with every single bit of my strength desperately pushing down.
The monster stilled for a second, and i removed the spear with a bloody shlick. Only then did the monster react. The intensity of its furious and painful roar was such that it stunned me completely for a quick second and made my ears bleed. Literally. I could feel the wetness as something liquidy trickled down my ears. I touched the spot under my ear and for the first time, saw my own blood. It was dark golden in colour, with minute specks of red.
'Ichor', a part of my mind supplied. I was a fucking god. Why did the fact hit me just now? I was a god. Yet i wasn't at their tier. A powerless god then, but a god.
The incredulous line of thought was broken through when the dragon roared again while doing a spin in the air. The gravity pulled me down and i had to hold onto its back with both of my hands. But then a small flimsy coating of hot steaming water slowly covered it's whole body. I turned to look at the same glowing bluish array that indicated the being just cast a spell.
The steaming hot water burnt my hands, creating blisters on my palm. I let go of the scales with a pained yelp and jumped off of the dragon, trying to flap my wings and fly. But then it's thick tail suddenly crashed into me from behind. The blinding speed at which it attacked left me unable to do anything. Worse? The dragon wasn't even looking at me when it attacked, so probably just an unintentional swipe. And yet, the incredible strength behind the blow smacked me down, and i could've sworn i felt my spine crack from just that single smack, even though the wings absorbed most of the power.
And then i was falling to the ground, and the wind screamed in my ears, hurting the tender bleeding organ so badly that i almost cried like a child.
[𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱: 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻] 𝗟𝘃𝗹 1
The pain lessened a bit, enough for me to start panicking again as the ground quickly came into my view. I tried flapping my wings again but the wind was so fierce by now that i had absolutely no control over them, plus the blow had felt then hurting like hell. My body was quickly spinning in the air, completely out of control as the ground rapidly came closer.
I was going to die, the fact settled in my mind. The ground was just a hundred meters away. I was going to die! I was freaking going to die! After just starting an epic journey with epic powers and an epic mother, i was going to fucking die from a fucking fall!
[𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱] 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱
Suddenly all of my panic vanished like it was never there. Why the hell was i scared? I was the son of Zeus, The God of Sky and thunder. The wind was mine to command.
I closed my eyes and willed the wind around me, making it submit to me as it's true ruler. It was hard, the pressure was unlike anything I've ever experienced before. But in the end, my divinity and will forced the wind around me to slow down, creating a small cocoon of air to protect me.
[𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗨𝗽: 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻] 𝗟𝘃𝗹 5
My control suddenly went through a transformation. The ease with which the wind answered to me was mind-blowing. A single level shouldn't be enough to do this, but maybe lvl 5 was some kind of milestone? Who cares. The point was, my control was enough for me to bend the air around me and take flight again, even without my wings. I still used my wings to reduce the need to focus, though i had to grimace slightly in pain as i felt my wings click into place after having been twisted from that blow, though i can definitely feel that something was wrong with my back and spine. I ignored my agitated spine, adrenaline coursing through my veins making me help focus. I shifted my attention back to the dragon, the being having already turned around to chase after my falling body, likely thinking the fight has ended. A mistake i will be sure to punish.
Without hesitation, i flew towards it.
The dragon opened its mouth again, but this time, it launch a stream of steaming water towards me. This time, it was me who couldn't dodge the attack due to my own momentum working against me. I could sense the power behind the water and knew, if it touched me, i was going down to the ground, not just to the ground but 6 feets dead under the ground. So in response to its attack, i used all my power and focus to quickly launch a thick beam of wind directly in the water, followed by a bolt of electricity as thick as my hand by overpowering the electric discharge skill. The wind wasn't powerful enough to completely blow away the stream, but it created a clear hole in the water, enough for me and the bolt of electricity to travel through.
I burst out from the other end of the stream, barely 10 meters away from the dragon, an extra large holy spear forming in my hand. The bolt had managed to enter the dragon's mouth successfully, and i used this chance to attack it.
The blue dragon was definitely shocked by the electricity and couldn't react fast enough to dodge the holy spear that i launched. The spear pierced the thing's left eye successfully, and i continued my flight upwards by dodging it's whole screaming head. I turned back quickly, only to find the screaming dragon falling to the ground, it's tiny clawed paws cupping it's destroyed eye in pain.
I went after it with a blast of wind, while focusing inside myself to access the well of power, preparing to launch my most powerful skill. I couldn't use it in a fight because the damned thing needed me to concentrate for 10 whole seconds. No opponent would be stupid enough to give me such time.
Now though, i had the opportunity.
Aside from flying, i didn't focus on anything but the skill. The dragon bellowed out as it met the ground in a large echoing boom, probably creating a crater where it fell. As i finally approached the ground, the sky above me darkened, and wind sped up. Still in the air, i raised my hand towards the sky and the dark clouds parted to launch a thick bolt of lightning. It was like a white line of pure energy that the heavens itself launched to show it's power and fury. The sound of thunder filled the area as the bolt of lightning fell directly upon the bellowing dragon's head. I closed my eyes while clutching my ears to shield from the terrific sound of the divine bolt meeting the dragon.

I opened my tired eyes slowly and noticed the clear gaping hole in the dragon's forehead. It's eyes were open, but there was no life present. The being was dead, released from its pain of losing an eye.

Waving away the notifs I slowly landed beside the dead dragon as satisfaction and relief spread through me, but the moment my feets touched the land and my weight transferred upon my spine, a jolt of pure agony went through me. My back lit up in pure pain and i realised that the blow from its tail had indeed crushed my spine, adrenaline just made me ignore it. I bumbled down on the ground, my knees growing heavy as the adrenaline wore off and the fight finally took its toll on me. I barely managed to shift my fall enough to put the pressure on my wings instead of my back, but the fall still spread pure pain and agony across my whole backside, from the crushed spine to my broken wings. I groaned out loud and felt my world darkening around me.
𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵: 380/20100
I had just enough consciousness left in me to see my mother's tears streaked face come into my vision.
"...Hold on, child." The words were distant, like hearing from the other side of an empty tunnel. But i can still feel the desperation and fear behind them through my hazy consciousness. "..Please love, hold on.."
A glowing white teleportation array formed below us, and my world was plunged into darkness.
