Chapter 2 - Chapter 2:A strange forest

Magus, a gigantic world known for the legend that ravaged this place. Legend has it that long, long ago, the world was simply inappropriate for any kind of life, the world was practically a great sea of lava. Legend has it that 4 gods have come together to make this place appropriate for life. These gods were: Aria, Nix, Daedric, and Talos. Being Aria and Nix women and Stalks and Daedric men.

The world has been divided into 4 countries: Parents of Light, Country of Darkness, Ferreldem and Abyssal. Fathers of light is where the devotees of Aria and Talos lived (These 2 gods would be gods of light), country of darkness was where devotees of Nix and Daedric (gods of darkness) lived, Ferreldem was where people who were not. Devoted to none of the 4 gods, the people who lived here believed in other gods, they were practically made up of races other than humans (we can say that 90% of the people who believe in the 4 gods are human). The last country was actually a virtually abandoned place, legends say that this country was once the main country of this planet, but one day an archangel became corrupted and made a pact with a demon to kill one of the 4 gods, legend says. that he managed to kill this god only that he was attacked by the other 3 who banished him to this place where he is imprisoned for millennia. Anything that steps in this place will be killed by his murderous intent.

The land of light was divided into three kingdoms, and these three kingdoms were called: Whinter, Inquisition, and Amana. Whinter was run by a queen named Lydia, Inquisition was not run by one person, but by a council, where a group of previously selected people were in charge of the country, anything they want to change in the kingdom should be authorized by at least half of the board. Finally there was Amana, which was the main kingdom of the land of light, this kingdom was ruled by a mysterious person, no one knew his name or anything like that.

In the kingdom of Whinter, near a town called Ice Rock, there was a huge forest called the Forest of Sins, this rapier was known for the high rate of people who would disappear into that forest. Many adventurers went to this place after a rumor that there was a city that was made of gold a long time ago, that rumor was even more intent when an adventurer returned with a bag of various things made of gold. Many adventurers went to this place, but none returned. Not even the top squad of one of the top 5 ice rock guilds was able to return from this place. The ruler of the city Ice Rock has determined this place as an area of high laughter. But still some people continued to go in this forest, although the number was much smaller.

In the middle of this huge forest was a young man of about twenty-three leaning against a tree, the young man seemed to be just sleeping, as there was no visible injury and his breathing was normal. The young man was about 1.80 tall, his physique was very well built, he had very black hair and a little pale skin, if his skin was like this or was because of something that happened to him was a mystery.

The young man was about 30 minutes in this state, until he suddenly frowned and clenched his fist, then the young man woke up and spit a small amount of blood, the young man began to gasp a lot. When he finally made it back to normal, the young man, with his scarlet eyes began, began to look around. He frowned, he didn't know where this was. The young man tried to search his memories to see if he could remember where this forest was.

The young man could tell at a glance that the trees around him were over twenty meters high. Strangely enough, their color was gray and all the trees he could see were leafless, just a trunk of twigs. The young man found it strange, after a while observing the place he muttered to himself:

"What a strange place, I don't remember anywhere like that. Besides, I wasn't in my castle? And from what I remember that girl had killed me. This place doesn't look like any region of Pandora."

This young man actually Hades, apparently he had woken up in another body. He could claim that this body was not his because he was older. And one thing that made him believe this place was not Pandora was that in Pandora there were no stars, the sky was totally black. Hades could see there were bright things in the sky, he didn't know what those things were, but he was sure he had never seen anything like that in Pandora.

Hades found himself in a big trouble, he was sure he had died in Pandora, only that he ended up in that place. Looking at his current situation he ended up laughing and said with a sarcastic tone.

"Is this place purgatory?"

Hades decides to investigate the region he woke up to. After a long time walking it finds nothing, the landscape remained the same: huge, leafless trees and a seemingly normal ground. He also decided to see what was in his clothes, except that besides a ring on the ring finger of his right hand, he found nothing else. The ring had a strange appearance: the rim was completely black and emitted a slight red aura, this aura was so weak that only Hades could see after concentrating, since the center stone was basically a red jewel that had a black streak on it. In the middle, this stone was very similar to the eye of a demonic animal.

Hades tried to pull the ring off his finger, but no matter how hard he wore the ring, it didn't come off at all, it seemed to be stuck in his finger. Hades tried to investigate the ring to find anything that could help him, but his effort was in vain.

"How wonderful! In an unknown place in an unknown body ... today seems to be my lucky day ..."

One big problem that Hades had was that he has no memory of the body's former host! He didn't know anything about this place, who owned the body or anything. He was lost in a forest knowing absolutely nothing.

"Well ... before trying to explore this forest I need to know how my strength is, how this is a new body I don't know if I will have the same power I had before"

Saying this Hades decides to see the current condition of his body, he makes some fighting moves and then runs in circles for a long time. After finishing, Hades gives a slight sigh and says.

"Luckily for me, this guy's physical condition is good, I think he must have had some kind of fight. If it's for comparison, this guy's physical condition is no worse than I had in my original body."

This made Hades sure that the original owner of this body had already fought many battles.

"Now it's time to test if I can use my spells in this world!"

Hades didn't know if the powers he had on Pandora could be used here. He hardly thought Pandora and this world would be 100%, that was a big problem, if by chance the spells he had could not be used here he would be in great danger in this forest or even the whole world. As good as his reflexes and strengths were, a punch cannot compete with a huge fire blast. So Hades decided to test it as soon as possible, if by chance he couldn't use his spells here he could only pray that there was no magic or anything in that world.

Hades takes a long breath and closes his eyes, he stands with his eyes closed for a long time. When suddenly he raises his left arm and opens his eyes. A dark-colored fire starts to come out of his hand, forming a fireball that didn't even fully cover Hades's hand. Seeing this fireball Hades frowned and after giving a slight bitter smile he said with a slight dismay:

"Damn, I'm fucked!"
