"I'm the last…?"
Zeus stands up, his form intimidating me with lightning emitting from his body, and I through his divinity I get forced to my knees.
"Yes child, you are the last and more specifically my successor."
He takes off some pressure so I can look him in the eyes as he talks.
"I will give you two choices. One, be like me when it comes to women and gather power fast or two unlike me be loyal to one and gain your strength to keep as your own."
Without hesitation I made my mind up, after all why would I not want power?
"I choose option two, since I feel like being loyal would make me more powerful as I gained strength."
He smiles as if I made the right choice.
"Remember this, as the last Olympian and King, you have the ability to make those you are close to or those whom you deem worthy into a fellow Olympian. Their divinity will be weak until they can prove themselves as a fledgling God or Goddess."
He looks around for a bit as the surroundings get a bit more chaotic and start to get destroyed.
"Now I want you to leave this place, I'll send a mission to your system when I have something for you to do."
He waves his hand at me and then I see my surroundings brighten. I close my eyes and then open them to see myself in the school's infirmary. Then a nurse helps me up while I feel something or someone ram into my stomach.
"Silvaria?"
She's hugging me with her head buried in my chest. Kayde and Arya walk up laughing after they saw Silvaria launch at me like a torpedo.
"She was worried about what may have happened. After all you no longer look the same."
"What do you mean?"
She hands me her mirror and I look at my self surprised. My hair now looks like the bluish glow my streaks once had but now it's all over. My eyes shift between a glowing solid blue the color of my hair, and then changes to regular eyes with a gold iris.
My skin now has a permanent golden hue to it showcasing my heritage and divinity.
'What?'
"Is your system talking?"
I look to my friends and nod my head.
"Yeah apparently only those of epic rarity or higher have a consciousness. We will leave you for a bit as you get acclimated to your new status."
They leave dragging Silvaria behind them since she refused to go and I start to converse with my system.
'Hello, do you have a name?'
I started to brainstorm as to what name I could give this system since it would be annoying calling it system every time.
'Iris, named after the Olympian Goddess of Clouds and Rainbows. I think that's a fitting name.'
As the system spoke I heard its voice change from something robotic to a feminine voice after naming it—naming "her" I mean.
'You are welcome, now can you explain what I am and can do.'
They took on various forms depending on the culture an people they visited. Namely the Roman and Nordic pantheons. Depending on the pantheon they presented themselves as each god would take a different place in the pecking order based on their original divinity. Now here back where they originated from they were and still are worshiped with many praying that they would return. You will learn more as you continue on your journey to return the Kingdom of Olympus back. Now enough of that, if you wish to see your status say "Open Status".> "Open Status." System Name: Olympus System Name: Alexios Nakamura Race: Olympian Strength E- : ♢♢♢♢♢ Vitality E- : ♢♢♢♢♢ Intelligence E- : ♢♢♢♢♢ Wisdom E- : ♢♢♢♢♢ Dexterity E- : ♢♢♢♢♢ Free Point(s): 1 Affinities (New!): Lightning (Major), Wind (Moderate), Water (Minor) Skills: Olympian's Might - This skill allows any Olympian who has it to raise their stats by 150% for a 2 minute duration. This skill when cast shows a mirage of Mt. Olympus behind the caster. Spells: Lightning Bolt - Once the symbol of Zeus, now yours, allows one to strike an enemy with damage equal to one's intelligence. The higher the skill with this spell will allow it to split apart attacking multiple enemies. I add the free point to strength feeling a rush of power coursing through my body and then vanishing as my muscles slightly bulge a bit showing how much they grew. 'Nice, I know it isn't much but I feel stronger.' I smile at that and stand up making sure I'm fine before exiting the infirmary. I open up the system to see the quest wondering what's in store for me. Fledgling God An Olympian isn't supposed to be weak, so to prove you are worthy of your heritage you must complete these exercises. Push ups 0/100 Sit ups 0/100 Run 0/5 km Completion: If you complete these for a week with out missing a day you will be given a free stat point. Failure: If you fail you will be sent to a random rift to survive for an hour or more based on how many times you fail this quest. 'Well this seems kind of easy but the failure bit seems a bit overkill if I get sent to a really bad rift.' I sigh resigning to my fate and as I exit the infirmary I see Silvaria waiting for me. "Where are the others?" "They went ahead to the next class where we are all going to physically test our limits after awakening." "Nice, I can't wait." We both walk together, side by side discussing day to day events. As we are walking she wraps her arm around mine while talking about her likes. With my heart beating faster all the surrounding noise vanished as she kept talking. Before I knew it we were at the grounds for physical education or P.E. for short. At the small gathering I see Magnus again talking to everyone. "Here we will test your limits to see where you are at before sending any of you to a rift for your tests. How well you do here will determine the rift you will go to, understood?!" They all in unison agree with him and get ready to train. After an hour I finished my daily quest while feeling fine with Silvaria and Azreal. Kayde and Arya are still panting pretty heavily and look like they are about to pass out, the same as everyone else. I look to Azreal and introduce myself. We exchange pleasantries and shake hands. "I never expected a Half-Demon/Half-Angel to exist. I'm glad to make your acquaintance." "Likewise, I never thought anyone would get a divine graded system, much less two." Until everyone is finished which there is only a couple kids who didn't finish due to being slow I, Silvaria, and Azreal talk to keep each other from boredom. When everything finishes we are all lined up based on our performance. "Alright slackers, most of you did a poor job. Tomorrow we will put up a Post at the front of the school showing the scores everyone got and then their rift grade they will be attempting based on said score. Everyone got that?! Good then run along and go the showers or if you are in a dorm then use that instead!" Everyone sluggishly walks off towards the showers. As we enter I see that there is a outdoor bathing area resembling Drakken culture. I opt to use that one and then put my clothes in a cubby I marked with my energy signature. I wrap the towel around my waste and enter the bathing area. I go to the shower next to it first, wash my hair, and then cleanse my body. When I finished I go through the next door where I can relax in an outdoor bath. As I enter I hear a high pitched scream and I turn to see Silvaria, Arya, and another girl just standing there covering themselves up. "High there, I came through the men's section." "Turn around!" I turn around fast and hear them wrapping the towel on their bodies. Then they enter the water before telling me it's ok. I enter myself and sit a good distance away so as to not cause any issues. "So I guess this is a mixed bathing bath?" Silvaria sighs and looks around. "Yeah it looks like it, on the other side of these walls is the indoor showers for each gender. If I knew this was mixed I wouldn't have done this." I laugh at that comment as Arya speaks up. "What's funny? No girl wants a boy they-" Silvaria stops Arya before she could continue. I raise my eyebrow wondering what she was going to say but ignore it. From there we all have a nice conversation as the third girl just sits there quietly. By the time we finish I get out, dry off, get dressed, and head to my next class. As I exit and see Silvaria I call to get her attention. "See you after class!" She smiles and waves running off and I do the same.
