Hayato tries to stand up " Ah..." but the pain from his stomach forces him to sit once again abruptly and when his back hit the tree behind him he felt a larger pain ' Agh... my back is injured even more badly than my stomach... I have to eat the Senzu Bean before I try to stand up again... but how ' Hayato waits a few seconds thinking and thinks ' Hey can you hear me? can you give me a Senzu Bean ' but nothing happens until he makes a small wry smile ' How foolish of me this is basic in every game... Inventory '
[ ' Inventory opened:
x5 Senzu Bean
x1 Eye Demon ' ]
' I will grab 1 Senzu Bean thank you ' After Hayato finished thinking those words his right hand shined for a second and he felt a small object in it
[ ' -1 Senzu Bean ' ]
Hayato ate the Senzu Bean and all the pain he was feeling disappeared, so he smiles widely and stands up quickly with his katana in his left hand saying with full energy " I love those things, haha " He even felt his stomach full ' I don't think I will need to eat in a few hours ' Thought Hayato with a grinning face
' Now tell me is there a quick way to take things out of my inventory? I don't want to waste time in a dangerous situation ' Thought Hayato with a serious face
[ ' Quick command is activated, Host just needs to think about the specific object that he wants to take out from the inventory ' ]
' Alright, I will try then... ' Hayato imagines a Senzu Bean and clenches his right fist and the same thing as before happened his hand shined for a second and the Senzu Bean appeared in it Hayato smiles once again after seeing the Senzu Bean in his hand and thinks ' Great, this is much better than thinking the name of the object I wanted, but how do I store this thing back? '
[ ' Quick command is activated to store things, Host just needs to focus his attention on the object he wants to store, warning storage doesn't work with living things ' ]
' Okay ' Hayato focuses his attention on the Senzu Bean in his hand and *SWOOSH* with a flash the Senzu Bean disappeared ' Alright, hehe ' Hayato turns left and right and starts to walk ' I will go this way, I hope I found something ' Hayato walked a few steps when he stops abruptly ' Oh, I almost forget it, hey System how can I communicate with God? '
[ ' Host just needs to close his eyes ' ]
" Okay " Hayato closes his eyes and the moment he opened them again he was was in the same white big room from before
" Hello my child, I know why are you here " God seemed to know what Hayato was about to ask him so God continues " The truth is that the God from the world where I sent you wanted to kill you, thankfully I have interfered with that, you seemed to notice it before, right? "
" The clouds and the thunderbolts from before were you and the other God? " Hayato makes a surprised face
" Yes, you see, he acts like a child, he sees all his creations like his toys, besides that childish nature makes him want to destroy anything that he doesn't like and he will use any means necessary to do it, the good thing is that his powers are far inferior to mine so I stopped him before he could kill you, It was easy. He was very mad about that, you know there is a rule of no interference between Gods and there is a rule to not interfere with mortals too much, so we make a deal "
' God seemed to know the other God, I can tell from the way he is speaking ' Thought Hayato hearing the way that God was speaking
" The deal was the test from before, right? " Hayato comes to a conclusion in an instant ' That explains a lot of things that happened before, but now what? ' Hayato sees God directly and I say to him with a serious face " What will happen now? he will try to kill me again? and what about those tests? "
" No, he won't try to do that again, the deal was that he can send any kind of test, but nothing that surpasses for far too much your powers, it must be a fight where you can stand a chance, if not I will interfere again " God said in a serious tone
Hayato makes a thoughtful expression and asks him with worry " So, how many tests will be? why the System is Locked and sounds weird? besides, can you tell me more about that world? ''
" I don't know how many tests will be, but the System is Locked because of the deal I will add it a personality once you go back, something else he seems to want you to win the powers, I think that you can unlock more functions any time you complete a test, I'm unable to unlock the System, but I know you can make it on your own " God seems to be happy
" About that world, almost identical to Earth with oceans, clime, people, and food, the difference lies that there are just 3 continents each one bigger than any continent you knew. The continents have mixed populations but in each of them some races rule over the others in terms of population, one is governed by demons, one by humans, and the last one by demi-humans, humans, and monsters, the important thing you must know is that the continent where the demons rule is closer to the continent where demi-humans and humans rule, you are now in the middle one the one that is being ruled by humans so is the safest place.
Next, near the forest you are in now, there are 2 Kingdoms and one small village. the kingdom of Lyrel and the kingdom of Ballack.
The kingdom of Ballack is a fanatic kingdom they love to make war with anyone who opposes their God, that Childish God uses the oracles of that kingdom to spread his will knowing that they will do everything he says without a second thought.
The second is the kingdom of Lyrel. Lyrel is a ratter normal kingdom on the surface with people living their lives peacefully but the core of the kingdom is corrupted with people that will do everything they can to accomplish their ambitions, beware. I recommend you to go to the small Matne village as soon as possible and later to the Lyrel kingdom, you can speak with the people there thanks to the System, so you don't have to worry "
Hayato clench my fists and put on a confident smile " Sure, I will unlock all the system functions and pass all the tests he throws me "
" Hahaha, I know, now go back my child " God says his farewell, and Hayato disappears from the room to reappear in the forest standing in the same position he left ' It seems things are gonna be very difficult, to survive I have to become stronger and for that, the first step is to buy a technique that can save me from almost every situation, System can I buy the Full Counter of Meliodas? ' Hayato asked the System hopefully
[ ' Techniques Store:
Meliodas:
Full Counter: 20.000 System points' ]
[ ' It seems is the only technique from Nanatsu no Taizai that is unlocked, but you don't have enough System Points to buy it ' ]
' God was right he changed the System interactions, it even sounds like a woman, metallic but like a woman ' Hayato smiles and walks again ' Alright, first, let's go to the village of Matne maybe there I can find a way to earn some System Points '
[ ' Matne village is straight, 20 minutes from here ' ]
Hayato starts to run to the village when he asked the System ' Hey System, can I call you different '
[ ' Sure, then how do you want to call me? ' ]
'' How about….Syt ''
[ ' Ok ' ]
' Well what can I say, I don't have much imagination for good names '
It was sunset when Hayato almost arrived at the village but from afar he can saw a black collum of smoke in the sky like something burning and slowly more black columns started to appear, Hayato frowns seeing them and he thinks ' Maybe that's why God wanted me to go there quickly ' Hayato starts to run as fasts as he could and when he arrived what he saw shocked him. From the distance he can see some men killing the villagers and throwing torches at their wooden houses, even they are killing children like they were slaughtering chickens
Hayato makes a cold face and clenches his fists " You are gonna regret that " whispered Hayato with a very cold voice then he grabs his katana from his waist and starts to make hand seals and then " KAGE BUNSHIN NO JUTSU! (Shadow Clone Jutsu) "
*PUFF* 5 Clones appeared on both sides of Hayato " Now... Chidori " Hayato and all the clones' katanas begin to emit electric rays, then they started to run towards the village taking different directions
------------------------------------
A few hours earlier in the kingdom of Lyrel
A man ran down the halls of a huge and fancy castle, the man wears full silver armor with a helmet that covers his face completely, the ran run in a lot of hurry until he enters a huge room, the room has multiple columns lined, a red carpet in the center and at the end of the carper was a golden throne. The man keeps running until he arrived in front of the throne then he kneels and says in a hurried voice " Your Majesty! Your Majesty! we have discovered something very unusual! "
On the throne was a man wearing eccentric clothes and a crown, he has short black hair and eyes, he looks quite handsome and young but his true age must be around 35 years old after all those white gray hairs on his beard are very clear " What's wrong, Captain? you usually don't behave like this? " Asked the man on the throne with a surprised expression on his face
The man was still kneeling but he turns to see the man on the throne with a worried expression and he says " Your Majesty! a heavenly tribulation appeared near Matne village! "
The man on the throne smiles slightly and says with an untroubled expression " Captain, that's normal, many have passed the heavenly tribulation, you don't have to be this surprised ''
The man bows his head and shakes it then turn to see the man on the throne again saying with a very serious voice " No your majesty, I have witnessed every heavenly tribulation that had occurred in the kingdom, but I never saw one like the one I saw near Matne village, it looked very powerful and it made me shiver despite that I witness it from a very far distance "
The man on the throne frowns hearing the very serious voice of his Captain then he stands and says " If what you say is right Captain, we have to find the one who caused that tribulation before the Ballack kingdom, this could be a good opportunity to add a powerful ally to our kingdom "
The Captain stands and bows saying " I will organize a scout squad I will make sure to bring those whose strength will be above an Advanced Legend Warrior rank and….." The Captain didn't finish speaking when someone interrupts him " I will go with him too, father " It was the sweet voice of a young woman, the King, and the Captain turns to see the entrance of the room and the King smiles happily
" Ellen " The king says to the young woman. She was beautiful, she has long black hair with a braid on the right side of her head, dark blue eyes, and a slim body, she is wearing silver armor with a golden mesh under the chest area, a skirt with small metal plates, and high silver boots, despite her beautiful face she has a very cold expression, her age must be around 17 or 18 years old
" Princess, do you want to go there? " The man with full armor looks in surprise at the young woman and asked but he didn't hear a replay from the woman instead the king spoke again
" Ellen, I thought that you will be training with your sister, why are you here so soon? " The middle-aged man asked the young woman with doubt
" You don't know how much she has changed, father, she is more interested in guys now than increasing her strength " The beautiful young woman responded in exasperation
" .... " The king stays silent for a few seconds making a sad expression then he turns to see the Captain and says to him " The Princess will go with you too, Captain, with her now new strength at the level of an Advanced Super Magic Swordsman she will be a better helper than mages "
" As you wish your Majesty " The man bows to the king then turns around and bows to the young woman " Thanks for offering us your help princess "
" Let's go " Said the beautiful young woman with an emotionless face as she starts to walk away, then the Captain bows once again towards the King and follows after the young woman
" Good luck, Ellen " Said the King with a serious face and he walks towards the throne again
-----------------------------------
In the kingdom of Ballack the same thing happened but...
" Your majesty, a heavenly tribulation appeared in the Forest " A man wearing a white robe kneels and speaks
" I know, the Oracle told me about that " An old man wearing fancy white clothes and a crown answers calmly, he has long white hair, a long white beard, and brown eyes
" So what we are going to do, your majesty? " The man that wears a white robe bows his head
" The oracle told me that we need to summon Heroes, so begin with the preparations for the ritual " The old man leaves the room
