"Huh? Who's there?"
"Oi, Il-Seong right? You okay?"
It was Ji-eun. She blocked the punch with ease, leaving the thug just as confused and shook as I am.
"You.. little shi-"
[thud]
At that moment, Ji-eun jumped in the air and kicked the guy right in the head. I blinked for a second and suddenly the guy was down on the floor.
"What just happened?.. This presence..."
"Hey, what did you do just now? W-Who are you?"
"Huh?"
"What you just saw was derived the God of War, Ares."
"The God of what now? Who?"
She looks at me with pure disgust. She thinks to herself "Surely he can't be this dense right?..."
"Forget it, dumbass."
"Who, me?" I think to myself.
"Go get you're food and hurry up. We're gonna be late for class."
"Ah, wait, where's Dan Hyuk!?"
"Dan Hyuk!"
"Dan Hyuk! Wake up!"
...
"Huh..? Was I knocked unconscious?"
"Thank God, you're awake! Hurry we gotta get back to school!"
"Okay okay. Ouch!"
"My arm... I-It's broken.."
We rushed Dan Hyuk to the infirmary and he ended up being excused from school. Afterwards, Ji-eun and I walked back to class.
After school ended, I walked back home and kept thinking about what happened back in the convience store.
The next day...
"Hey ma, do you happen to know anything about God's and superpowers?"
"Why of course. Have you not been listening to my stories about you're mom and dad?"
"Well-"
"Haha, do not fret my dear boy. I've already told you this a thousand times, and I'm willing to do it a thousand times more. Now, listen carefully..."
"Back in ancient times, there was a period in which the people became greedy and decided to go against the Gods. During this rebellion, the humans managed to get their hands on a fragment, through which they gained godlike powers. With this, the 7 main gods were created. Zeus(God of Lightning), Poseidon(God of the sea), Hades(God of the Underworld), Athena(Goddess of Wisdom), Artemis(Goddess of Hunt), Apollo(God of light), and finally Ares(God of war). There are many other Gods, but they're considered as the first of their kind."
Ares? Isn't that what Ji-eun was waffling about earlier?
"Woahh, so who won?"
"That remains unknown to this day."
"Oh.. well, what about my parents?"
"Your parents fought very hard to get you where you are now. Your father worked in the government and inherited the Sun God "Ra". And although your mother was sick and weak, she once inherited the God of Winter "Boreas."
"Damn, if only I was as strong as mom and dad... Maybe I could've prevented Dan Hyuk's arm injury. Tsk, I'm so pathetic" I think to myself.
"Now, dear boy, I can't guarantee that it is entirely true, but before your dad met his end, He passed down all his powers to you, meaning you inherit the Sun God."
"W-What!?!?"
