Chereads / The Hero of Our Time / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3.

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3.

Somewhere up north in the middle of winter, there were many small desolate islands covered in snow that were surrounded by ice. The scene of it was as it had always been for thousands of years. The area was so unlivable that no human life or even animal life could be seen anywhere. Only some animals like seals or Polar bears could sometimes be seen. Everything was as one would have expected from such a remote and northern part of the world, but there was one strange exception to this scene.

On the northernmost island where the temperature was supposed to be the coldest of them all, something unnatural and almost magical could be seen there. Unlike all the other islands this small island was not white with snow but green with life.

Young pine trees covered much of its surface and at their roots, a lot of greenery could be seen all around. Everywhere there were small plants, patches of healthy green moss, berry bushes and even flowers. 

On the islands-only hill there hiding in the trees, many birds could be seen resting. And on the iceless shore, a small group of seals could also be seen resting there as well. For whatever reason the ice like the snow wasnt touching the island almost as if there was some kind of a heat barrier around the island keeping all the cold out. 

Thanks to this strange invisible barrier of warmth the island berry bushes never stopped growing their berries. Even around the island, beneath the water, there was an abundance of underwater plant life and lots of seaweed growing there. Thanks to this, fish were abundant around the island and the ones living on the island were always kept well fed even during winters such as this.

But with this came the envious eyes and hungry mouths of a few local Polar bears to the island. but despite this life still went on, until one day after having hunted a seal the islands only human and largest bear met. 

The human being but a young man of 170 centimeters tall and having a body weight of 75 kilograms, he wore nothing more than primitive clothes made out of seal skins. With his back towards the sea, he decided to fight this massive bear that was over 6 meters in height. 

On his leather belt, the boy had a primitive stone knife, sticking out of the seal there was a primitive stone spear, on his back there was a bow and in his hand 3 bone arrows. But seeing this fearsome challenger he discarded all his tools and weapons, this would be a fair fight between two real alpha males. Now standing on the stony shore of this paradice-like island the two fighters prepared to fight for dominance over this island.

They started by circling each other. With each of its massive steps the bear crushed stones beneath its feet like they were but riceballs and cut the stones like they were nothing more than balls of butter. Its massive claws were longer than the boys hands and sharp like steel blades. Not only this, but its teeth were massive also. They were long like knives and capable of crushing a male seals skulls with one bite.

Eyeing the bear closely, the boy could still remember their first meeting a few years ago. Back then the bear was much smaller just like its breadrin and there were no problems between the two. But as it grew to a size that shouldnt have been possible its ego and hunger had grown with it. 

Looking at the drool coming out its mouth the creature seemed eager to have a taste of his flesh now. Had it already gotten so tired of eating berries, seals and fish that it now wanted to try his flesh? Well no matter what the reason, he decided then and there to finally put an end to this unnatural creatures life before it consumed all living things on the island or grew to an even more ridiculous size.

Then seemingly as if it had had enough the bear growls and charges towards the boy with its mouth open seemingly intending to bite him. Rocks are sliced and smashed into rubble under its feet. The ground shakes slightly and goes flying into the air. 

The sight of the bear was more than any other man could handle, all that saw it and were still in their right minds would have surely run, but the boy held his ground. Simply spreading out his arms and putting one foot behind the other he prepared to meet this challenger.

Then as the bear was about to slam into the boy and bite his head off it was stopped. The boy managed to grab a hold of the bears jaws and was pushed back along the stony shore. stones of every side were sent flying as the boys legs smashed into them. 

His muscles bulged under the pressure and he dug his feet into the ground and stopped the bear just before he was about to be forced into the water. The bear let out growling noises as it tried to move, but its mouth seemed to be stuck in the boys hands. 

Unknown to the bear, the boy had been training every single day for the past five years since he was born into this world. Each day he ran around the island multiple times, did strength training and spent a lot of time hitting his body against rocks. Like so his bones, muscles and even skin had become stronger and stronger at an unnatural rate. 

Forcing the bears mouth shot he sent a hard right knee straight into its massive jaw. A small crack of bones could be heard as the bear was sent staggering back onto its feet. Then the stone rubble under the boy broke into dust as he leaped into the air and kicked the bear in its face. 

The bears teeth got a slight crack and it staggered back again. Landing on the ground the boy immediately jumped again and again, each time sending punches and kicks at the bear. But with each strike, the bear just seemed to stagger back a little, seemingly not affected at all by the boys attacks.

Then as he leaped into the air again the bear attacked. The boy seeing this lifted his arms to block the strike but it was no use. The bears slap was so strong that the air rippled and a loud earshattering bang noise could be heard as its paw hit the boy in midair. The boy was tossed through trees and bushes deep into the islands pine forest.

Bloodied and broken the boy lay still on the ground. His whole body was broken with fractures all around. The bones in his right arm and leg were broken and sticking out of his flesh and his left eye had a massive stick protruding out of it.

But despite all of this the boy just smirked and lifted his open palm into the air. Then his hand seemingly lit up with a golden light that then expanded until it completely enveloped the boy. 

Then a few seconds went by and the light disappeared. Now lying there on a bed of yellow flowers was the boy seemingly fully healed and unharmed. The only signs of harm were the bloodstains on his leather clothes and in the ground.

Standing up the boy could feel the ground shake and he could hear trees breaking. In the distance, trees were smashed and sent toppling to the ground as the massive Polar bear was charged towards him. 

" Bring it on! " The boy yelled in a challenge. Then he flexed all his muscles, his leather clothes stretched to their limits. Hugging his firm muscles tightly the leather gave way and broke revealing his naked godlike physique. His ABS that were once but eight had now become 10. His back muscles shape seemed as thou they held a demons face. His legs were large like tree trunks. And overall his V-shaped body glowed with sweat in the sun making it seem like he was made of pure hard steel even his sizable dick seemed to be of pure muscle and steel.

Seeing this the bear seemed to slow down its charge as if it were scared of this boy in front of him. As if realizing its own cowardess the bear let out an angry roar and pounced towards the boy. In response, the boy leaped towards the bear to meet it head-on literally. 

In midair, the bears nose and the boys head collided with one another. The impact sent a loud shockwave throughout the island sending all the birds into a panic. The shockwave traveled through the bear shaking its brain and stunning it for a second. On the other hand, the boy had brazed himself for the impact and managed to minimize the blows effect on himself. 

Landing on the ground first the boy didnt give the bear a second chance as he immediately went under the bear and punched the bear into its chest, right where the heart was. The blow sent another shock wave into the bear that stopped its heart, effectively killing it instantly and painlessly.

Pushing the massive bear off of himself the boy pumped his fist into the air in triumph and so there was peace again on the island for the next few years.
