Ring , Ring, Ring... An alarm buzzed for quite a while yet the oblivious figure on the bed beside it still seemed to sleep on.
After a few minutes, a hand stretched out and switched off the ringing alarm , and from the bed a young figure rose up , and stretched his limbs. With bright golden pupils that seemed to darken away from the center and a very attractive face that blended both wildness and delicate handsomeness. though his slightly immature face hinted at youth, at 7 feet tall Michael towered men, well mostly of other species.
Shirtless, wearing only pyjamas trousers he walked to the adjoining bathroom of the end of the large room and freshened up.
The chamber not extravagantly adorned exuded a quiet grandeur , grayish-silver walls shimmered under the glow of an elegant chandelier while a golden ceiling reflected the morning light pouring in from the eastern glass wall, minimalist interior with futuristic features except from necessary apparatuses. Every item and the room at whole portrayed its owner as noble and grand.
Now wearing changed clothes Michael left the room, walking along the hall then he climbed a spiral staircase to the dining hall.
Everything in the whole house seemed to be humongous in size as if it was made for Giants, and yes it was.
As he pushed open the large doors , a grand dining hall came to view. A hall size fit for the giants who dinned within.
Sitting on the head seat was a large physical imposing male with a long flowing hair and a figure about 9 feet tall, Prince Az Fire, third Son of the Fire Giant King, and Michael's father.
In every sense he was noble and powerful, only the most formidable Giants could ever reach or surpass 9 feet in height.
With Reddish orange pupils that seemed to give off raging flames Az gave off very strong and domineering Aura.
Yet he wasn't the only one, nearly everyone seated at the massive dining table possessed the same pupil color and fierce, dominant aura, though none matched Az in stature or presence.
This gathering was his family, consisting of his father, his two consorts, Michael and six siblings.
Of the seven children, Michael only had a brother from his mother's side.
And while the first consort was a giantess from a noble Fire giant clan, Michael's consort mother was a human.
Greeting his Father and the rest of his family , Michael took his seat beside his Mother and Younger brother Al by the large dining table filled with humongous proportions of food.
If he towered men, Michael was dwarfed by many in the large dining hall of giants.
7 feet was tall for Humans and other races but for Giants it wasn't so much, as a normal Giant could reach a base height of Seven feet, but those of noble blood could reach 7.5 feet when of adult age and powerful Royal powerhouses could reach a height of 8 feet and possibly even 9 feet.
In a way, for giants, size was strength.
This only differed across genders, at the same level corresponding to their male counterparts at the same level, female giants were a feet shorter.
But this didn't translate to less powerful female giant warriors.
Although they were weaker in physical strength, they had more subtle control of strength and better agility.
A male giant below 7 feet or female below 6 feet at adulthood was of inferior bloodline lineage purity and possibly could not achieve much in cultivation and evolution.
bloodline hierarchy determined cultivation and evolution for Giants.
And at 7 feet, Michael of his other male noble and Royal age peers was a bit shorter.
And with pupil color different from the typical reddish orange pupils unique to Fire Giants, Michael was a bit different.
In the Vast Cosmos existed numerous races and civilizations, and waters running deep with different alliances, factions and powers.
Ranked among the Imperial races possessing Emperor level Powerhouses without having an Emperor level powerhouse, just Five King level Powerhouses , the Giant race was a unique race. Yet none could deny the might of the Giant s.
The Giant race consisting of four race clans was very powerful and fierce and it wasn't for show they were ranked so prestigiously.
They are far stronger than King level races and no Imperial race even with Emperor level cultivators could easily defeat the Giants without paying a very heavy price as each Giant King was capable of near Emperor Realm Prowess.
Apart from the servants, normal giants, serving the family, his younger siblings not yet of age, his sisters, with his own Mother who was human, he was a bit shorter in figure than the rest of his large family.
But his Aura wasn't at all lesser. Partly dominating strong, partly gently powerful. Whereas giants generally had imposing and fierce auras.
Michael didn't seem lesser among the towering figures.
Many things could be faked ,but aura was not one of them, it was a person's own electromagnetic presence, it was a feeling they impressed upon the world around them and Michael's was undeniably strong!
Humans are also a powerful race in the Cosmos still children of humans and other races always leaned towards the other race in physiology unless the bloodline purity was low.
Giants came of age at 18 and awakened their bloodline and his younger brother Al also possessed the same Reddish orange pupil as the rest of his family and at just 16 years of age, not yet of adult age was nearly reaching equal height of 7 feet with his elder brother Michael who was 18.
Clearly his shorter figure couldn't be blamed on his partly human physiology.
Michael was an enigma, as a descendant of a Royal fire Giant he didn't possess the height of siblings or nobles nor did he inherit his Father's elemental affinity, obvious from his different pupil color.
For a very bloodline hierarchial race, by all means it should mean he was either of low bloodline purity or a bastard, yet none in his age grade in his entire, to Michael even his extended family of the same realm could match him in terms of raw strength!
lacking in fire giant elemental affinity, different pupil, not as tall as should be presumed, yet with extremely handsome features and massive strength, in his family Michael was strange, beautiful and Great.
