Chapter 17 - The God Of Fire

In an instant, Iwan appeared on the other side of the door.

"Amazing."

Iwan mumbled without realizing it as he was caught off guard by the beauty of this side of space.

It was like he was looking down on a painting that contained twelve bits.

The space was perfectly divided into twelve domains while he stood on a plane above it.

Each domain had a region that had distinguishable characteristics.

At the far end of this space, Iwan could see a domain of inferno.

Above the vast region of this infernal domain, a number and an honorary mark floated to separate it from the other regions of other domains.

"12! And, a hammer."

That was the number that was burning brightly right above the last domain.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

A distinct sound was rising from the infernal domain's burning region.

Every time Iwan heard the metallic sound, the fire of the 12th domain would rise like serpents aiming to devour the space itself.

"Ba-Dump."

"Ba-Dump."

Iwan could feel the loud pulse of his heart as the hammering sound kept on entering his ears.

"Olympus. The door to Olympus. A hammering sound. A place that looks like hell. An Inferno."

An image popped up in Iwan's head.

It was the moment when Iwan was screaming in pain right after Elder Pigster had broken his finger.

Just then, a message that read, 'REAL MEN DON'T SCREAM LIKE GIRLS' appeared in front of Iwan's eyes which caused him to lose his rationality even more.

"I see. So, it's you."

Iwan laughed while hiding his face with one of his hands.

Everything connected in Iwan's mind, but they were connected to the wrong end. An end that wasn't beneficial to him at all, but he was rather glad that he realized it.

He brought both of his hands next to his mouth.

"IF YOU ARE BLAZE, I HOPE YOU BREAK ALL OF YOUR FINGERS."

Iwan shouted at the top of his lungs, and at the next moment, another shout rose from the twelfth domain.

"Ah~~."

The shout was like the scream of a dying pig, and Iwan couldn't have been happier.

"Ah, what a melodious sound."

Iwan laughed without realizing that a shadow had flickered from the twelfth domain.

A man appeared in front of Iwan in the blink of an eye.

The man in question was wearing a single white robe. The white robe covered half of his upper body and ended an inch above his knees.

"You."

The man held a hammer as big as Iwan in his right hand.

While the left hand of the man had four fingers that were so swollen that anyone could mistake them for mashed potatoes.

"Me!"

Iwan replied without feeling disturbed.

'He is at least three times bigger than me. But who cares? I am already dead.'

Iwan laughed it off as he still believed this situation was the epic start of his afterlife.

"So, you are the successor of our guest."

The man mumbled while his giant body shrank just enough so that he was able to look Iwan right in the eyes,

"The successor of the guest?"

"I am Blaze. And, these are my broken fingers."

The man introduced himself to Iwan while pointing his broken middle finger at Iwan.

'Crazy.'

Just one word came to his mind as Iwan looked at the man in front of him.

He didn't know what he was supposed to ask.

'How did you shrink to my size?'

'Is this really afterlife?'

'Who was the guest?'

'So, you are Blaze? You fucker.'

Iwan thought of the different responses that he could have.

In the end, he finally decided on the response that was fitting for this moment.

"So, you are Blaze? You fucker!"

Iwan pointed at Blaze and said in a very disappointed tone.

The tables have turned. There was a time when Blaze would have shown his displeasure with the screaming Iwan but not now.

"Ha."

Blaze scoffed and shook his head as he remembered the guest's identity.

The reason behind Iwan's arrival in Olympus. The guest of Olympus.

Looking at the angry Iwan, he started laughing.

"Haha~"

"Ha."

Taken back by his laugh, Iwan also laughed heartily.

A bond had formed between the two. A bond that had started with taunts had suddenly become more robust than anything.

"Remember to visit my domain before you leave."

Blaze said to Iwan before flickering like a dim light and returning to the twelfth domain.

( Blaze Has Blessed You With His Name )

( Blaze: Hephaestus )

( Hephaestus Of Olympus Has Regarded You As His Friend )

( An Invitation To The Domain Of God Of Fire Has Ben Received )

( You Can Visit The Twelfth Domain Anytime )

"Blaze is Hephaestus? So what? But, the dude ain't that bad."

Iwan said with a smirk. He had no interest in Olympus or the God of fire of Olympus.

Iwan looked down from the plane he was on.

This time, instead of looking at the regions of the other domain, Iwan directly stumbled upon the first domain.

"A bolt of lightning along with the number 1!"

Iwan rubbed his chin while looking down on the first domain.

He had no idea what kind of character would jump out of it, but he was looking forward to it.

"Looks like a place where the King Of Olympian Gods would reside."

Someone whispered right into Iwan's ears.

'There is someone behind me.'

Iwan shivered as the words whispered into his ears were already beyond his comprehension. But, the sudden appearance of someone appearing behind him while he was unclothed was too much for him to handle.

"May I ask who you are?"

While humbly questioning the entity behind him, Iwan moved forward hastily and turned around.

'A dwarf with a lightning bolt in his hand.'

Indeed Iwan had defined the person in front of him perfectly.

"A dwarf? No one would dare to call me that. Haha~ You are indeed just like him."

'He read my thoughts.'

Iwan had a dark look on his face. His mind was where he kept all the dark and unfiltered words, and he faced this man who could see through his thoughts.

"As for your question..."

The lightning bolt thundered in the man's hand as the man himself grew to an unfathomable size.
