They entered the tryouts and the atmosphere completely changed. The place was crowded in big, greasy men that had a scent that resembled a wold beast more than a human.
"Ugh" Luna looked like she was about to vomit.
"Yeah it is a pretty repulsive smell" Lucian said outloud which made a few people that overheard them angry.
Lucian not wanting to start a fight, grabbed Luna and ran off. As he was running he was stopped by some sort of barrier, it felt like air magic.
"Hey, hey where are you going? This is no place for kids." An old voice said from behind.
Lucian turned around to see an old figure, with long white hair, a long grey and braided beard and closed eyes.
"Or should I say, this is no place for a God to be" The old figure said with a bland expression.
As surprised as Lucian was of how the old figure knew he was a God, his next words shocked even the mysterious figure.
"I am not one of those scum, do not compare me to them" Lucian said angered.
"My apologies" The old person said.
After a short pause the elderly person continued talking
"Follow me, the tournament starts in a couple of hours so we have time" There was na malicious intent behind his words so Lucian followed and told Luna to stay by his side.
"Where are you taking me?" Lucian asked
"We are going to train, otherwise you are going to get seriously hurt in the tryouts"
"You see alot of them are just angry meatheads that will run up to you and try to smash your skull in, they wll never get past the tryouts, their magic is weak and while they do have the physical advantage, they are slow."
"The ones you should be worried about are the ones that are leaning on the walls somewhere in the dark corners so they do not get bothered by anyone"
"How did you know I was not human?" Lucian asked curiously.
"As you have already noticed I do not have eyes, I blinded myself of horrific sights that I have seen and I could not take it any longer."
"So even if I cannot see, I can still feel mana, and over the years I mastered this technique and is now deep within my brain as easy as breathing."
"Exploring Ancient Ruins I have come across Gods multiple times, but never once have they attacked us, I knew they were Gods because their magic felt like sunlight, and in the ruins there are alot of undiscovered books that say the Gods above have magic far superior to us humans."
"Light is naturally superior to other elements so there for I knew you must not be of this planet, the safe guess was being a God and your reply confirmed it" The old figure said with a smirk that could be felt not even having to look at his face.
"Safe guess? Are there other beings besides Gods outside this planet?" Lucian asked
Dismissing the question the old figure said
"We have arrived" pointing at a wall.
"This is it?" Lucian looked at the old-timer.
"Just go through it"
"Alright" Lucian said comming closer to the what seemed like a regular wall, and put his hand out. His hand passed through the wall like the wall was not there. Lucian played with the wall a bit before the old figure pushed him through. Lucian fell on his face into the ground that was kind of squishy. But that was not the thing that was unordinary here, here the feeling that Lucian has pushed away the past couple of days felt like it was right there infront of him, like he could reach it but never did.
"What is this place?" Lucian asked dumbfounded.
"And where is Luna?"
"She will not enter this place"
"Why not?"
"There is no need for her to be here, and since I do not want you distracted do not worry, she is safe"
"As I am sure you have already felt it, the feeling of your Soul Weapon here feels like it is just there."
"But it is not, do not get your hopes up."
"About your question earlier, there are no other beings outside this planet except Gods"
"However there are things living inside it, evil things that is"
"Well it all depends on the person, but to humanity they are a threat."
"I have been exploring Ancient Ruins for all my life trying to find the Ancient Ruin that would take me to the Main Hall of the Underworld"
"There in the Main Hall of the Underworld you will find your Soul Weapon"
"How do you know this?" Lucian asked.
"And why are you telling me all this?"
"I am telling you this because soon the world will turn into chaos, the Gods will try to exterminate the Demons, trying to "protect" lessers but they will be their demise."
"Did you just call them lesse-"
The old man released his aura that shut Lucian up and sent him flying across the room.
"As to how I know where the weapon is, it is because I was the one who created it"
A low ranking God was treated poorly in the Realm of Gods.
They thought of him no more than a mere lesser being, they were disgusted that he was even a God, he was a kind God unlike the rest of the scum in the God realm, but there was nothing he could do about it..
Until the Emperor of Gods abused to much of his powers.. Egotistical and drunk he wanted to kill the kind-hearted God so he cast a beam of pure light energy thinking it killed him.
But the kind-hearted God was sent to Earth at such a speed time reverted for him backwards, and when he landed on Earth he was a no older than a newborn.
He did not care for what they did to him, instead he was glad to be away from them.
