Chapter 267: The Great Giant
Kiro was searching within himself, to understand more about the powers the Underworld Crystal had given him. He understood that, there were a lot of stages to unlock. Though he didn't know how to go about doing that, there wasn't exactly a manual.
His best bet was continuous use. But he was still far too weak to continously use reality warping. He also noticed that, after creating that sun, using the powers exhausted him, like the life was being sucked out of him.
He wanted more answers to what the hell was going on. So he entered another state of meditation within his metaphysical world.
'Should call this deep space or something?' He joked, hoping Lyle wouldn't disturb him.
But Lyle was a good boy, he didn't stick around and went to explore the world instead. He wanted that Underworld story no matter what, so to ensure he didn't disturb him, he went far away.
Kiro looked within himself and realised that the information that had been brewing inside of him had finally finished. He was a slower being, so the extent to which the game made him wait to receive this was ridiculous to say the least.
He noticed the door he'd opened before, he had no desire to enter it this time. And because of that, it stayed shut. His will determined and focused on what was going on around his world it seemed.
The information appeared in front of, like an enormous interface. He swiped, first looking for ways to which he could unlock the stages. But alas, he couldn't find anything.
He saw a file with the writing 'Stages within Reality Warping.' He clicked faster than his brain could react.
"They sort them in colours? Isn't this a bit ridiculous." He proclaimed, as he read on.
White - This is the first stage of reality warping, this stage would allow the user to run on walls, bend without breaking the rules of reality. Altering other people's perceptions.
Yellow - This is the second stage. This stage allows the user to alter forces of nature, ontop of the abilities of the first stage.
Gold - This is the third stage. The user can control the rules and laws that govern reality and they can manipulate it into whatever it can and can't be.
"Wait a second, if I'm only in yellow, how the hell did I create that sun?" Kiro pondered, stopping to read for a second. He couldn't come up with an answer, and decided to quit wrecking his brain.
Blue - This is the fourth stage. The user is able to control most existences. Users could be considered nigh-omnipotent at this stage.
Purple - This is the fifth and final stage. The user has almighty control of all realities and existences. They are able to manipulate every aspect of reality from beginning to end, physical or metaphysical.
WARNING: Should the user get a temporary boost, which will allow them to skip to the final stages, they will lose their ability to use these powers for a little over six months. Continously using this power while this consequence is in play will only add more months.
"F*ck. Six months? I hope they mean in-game months?"
If he had another pair of hands, he could beat himself up for being too careless. But it wasn't as if he was completely useless without the powers, he'd fought many harbingers without them. He was very capable.
He decided to leave Paradise. When he came to, Lyle was still there.
"That's weird, get out of my head dumbass, I'm awake now, this is weird." He kicked him in the shin.
Which woke him up.
"Ouch! Master!"
They were just in time, as people were filing into their seats. The battleground was ready to be used. It looked better than when they first got here. The system must've used stronger materials to ensure this break thing didn't happen again.
A large stout man entered the arena. He was a human warrior. He was barely wearing any armour, he wasn't short but he had some big muscles. He carried a labrys for a weapon.
That was a very rare weapon around Asgard, you couldn't get it unless from a special event or a once in a life time quest. He walked with big confident strides.
"Asgardians," he started with a voice that wasn't impressive so not everyone had paid him their attention.
"You cheered like idiots when those rats were pulling dumb stunts around this arena. But when a real warrior walks over, you people don't even pay slight attention." He spat on the ground showing his disgust.

"My name, actually nevermind, you don't deserve to know. I come representing Valhalla. I'm the guild master of Valhalla. The number one guild in the previous stage."
People started booing him. They didn't understand why he was so talkative instead of just starting the fight. Most of all, his arrogance was a thorn on the side for many. Nobody liked arrogance, they only tolerated it, only if you were high up in society enough.
"System," the leader of Valhalla bellowed. "I, Viktor Scoville, will be the only champion coming from my guild. All the 10 fights are mine, the other guild, if you dare, accept my challenge!" He cried.
Now everyone was quiet. He was introducing a very interesting idea after all. He had grabbed everyone's attention with his proclamation.
Ding!
[That's very interesting kid, I'll allow it.]
The guild they were up against was Greek Gods. They were furious at Viktor's challenge. He dared to think, all ten of their strongest would be defeated by one tired guy.
They soon found out how wrong they were. Each of them tried to take him out, without a single use of any potion, without the help of priests to heal him. He proved them all wrong.
His only friend was his labrys. Which served him very well. He was a big guy, his movements weren't great, so he suffered some hits but because he was a big guy his swings were detrimental to all those who faced him.
He didn't need to do much, just swing and the opponent would be done for.
'This is interesting? That's the giant isn't it? Viktor the great?' Kiro couldn't contain his excitement a bit of laughter escaped his lips.
