Chereads / A Game of Gods / Chapter 12 - Chaos and Mira

Chapter 12 - Chaos and Mira

A man with brown hair, tan skin, green eyes, and a muscular build dressed in a mixture of knight's armor and a business suit was walking casually up the mountain of no returns.

Alongside the man was a woman with red hair, green eyes that flickered red every few seconds, and an attractive figure dressed in a red dress designed to not interfere in a fight while also emphasizing her appealing features.

"How do all three of them have divine gifts?"

The woman asked as both she and the man by her side felt the reality around them becoming denser with every step they took toward their targets.

This density of reality was caused by strong fluctuations in Divinity.

"I don't know. I knew that two of them had divine gifts, but that girl..."

The man answered.

It seemed he was contemplating their situation and what their next move should be.

They were both walking until they found the three people they were looking for.

Their three targets were lying on the ground in pain.

"Alexander of the Dreamer's realm, Mary Mob of the Godless realm, and Shual Adom of the Demon's realm, we are here under official orders from the Demon god to help you. Please don't resist."

The man said in a formal tone.

"Evocatio chaos."

He mumbled, and a longsword appeared in his hand.

This longsword emitted a strong pressure that made the world bend around it.

"I don't think they can hear you."

The woman said sarcastically as she put her back against his shoulder and leaned on him.

The man ignored her and swiped his blade in the air. There was a tremor, and it seemed reality was shaking for a moment, and then the reality around them became less dense in a moment, and the targets started recovering.

After close to two hours, the three targets fully recovered.

"So, who are you?"

Shu asked the two people who sat a bit away from his allies and him.

The two people smirked as they rose from the stone they were sitting on.

"I am Chaos the one hundred and sixty-third, the right hand of the Demon god, king of the Greek demons, wielder of the sword of Chaos!"

The man answered, and he summoned his sword in his hand.

"I am Mira Baal, the half-demon half-vampire witch!"

The woman answered, and her eyes glowed with the color red.

"So, kids. First lesson, who are you?"

Chaos said with a big smile as memories from the past surfaced in his head.

Shu seemed to like that method of introduction, and he was the first one to go along.

"I am Shual Adom, a gifted, stepson of George Adom, follower of the Demon god, savior of Birnin Mutuwa!"

Shu proclaimed pridefully.

"Good first try, but try to focus on your achievements, so don't mention your father, and try to say things that will make sense everywhere, so there's no need to mention every kingdom you save."

Chaos said.

"Let me try."

Alexander announced and rose on his legs.

"I am Alexander of the Dreamer god's realm, a gifted, run away from the inescapable Anquan Jianyu!"

Alexander said.

"Overall, pretty good, though it ain't quite interesting. Luckily for you, as you will have more adventures, you will also have more impressive achievements."

Chaos said.

All eyes were on Mary, and while she didn't want to do it, she also didn't have a choice.

"I am Mary Mob of the Godless realm. Sorry, I have nothing more I want to reveal and nothing else that I can say."

"Lame! Though it's your choice..."

Mira said.

"Now that we have finished our introductions, I'll explain what we will be doing for the next month."

Chaos started explaining.

"Shu, you were given the power of god's prophecy as part of a deal between Danny and the other six main gods. This gift will let you take a look into the past and see the future, though right now you can't control it, so it's overwhelming you, and memories from your future are affecting your actions."

Chaos explained Shu's gift, and Shu finally understood the reason for all the weird things that happened to him.

"Alexander, you were given the power of god's creation as part of some treason attempt by an unknown god. It's unknown who gave you your power. It's a power that will let you create anything you can think of. It is a fairly new gift, so I don't know its limitations."

Chaos explained Alexander's gift to him. And Alexander was intrigued by the fact that he was given this gift by some mistake or treason.

"Mary, I wasn't told you have a gift, and I'll need to talk to Danny about it..."

Chaos started to explain Mary's situation to her.

"What!? I am not gifted!"

Mary argued.

"Unfortunately, it seems you are, and your gift seems to resemble those of Shu and Alexander, so you probably got it for the same reason as Alexander."

Chaos explained Mary's situation, and she was shocked.

Now that Chaos explained their gifts to them. He went to send a message to Danniel.

"By the way, since you are gifted, you are naturally stronger than the average member of your species, and divine gifts give immortality to their holders."

Mira, who stayed where she was before, said.

Shu's eyes gleamed happily.

He could live from now on.

He was immortal!

Chaos came back and said.

"Mary, Great for you! Ishtar will be the one who will help you. She will arrive tomorrow. Shu, you will receive your training from me. I will help you learn how to focus while using your power mid-battle. Alexander, you seem to know how to use your gift but have an issue with your limitations, so Mira will help you work on that."

Chaos explained what they would be learning.

"How long will this take?"

Alexander asked.

"You are not used to being immortal yet? You have no time limit, though it would be preferred if we finish in less than three years."

Chaos answered calmly.

"Three years?!"

The three of them all shouted in surprise at the news.

Mira and Chaos smirked at the sight of the "kids" being surprised at how long they would be away training.
