*August PoV*
A bright light falls from heaven, it is radiant and beautiful, all looked, shocked by what they are witnessing.
Like a shooting star it crashed into the earth.
I have no idea what this is, but I'm still prepared to face it no matter what.
"No way!" a voice echoed, in shock and in awe. it was Riveria, as I looked at her, her mouth hanging open at the sight. "A God."
My eyes snap, a god? here? why? My eyes are glued to the radiant light, as it slowly dwindles, revealing the god who arrived in front of us.
Huge, the god was bigger than Ottar, his build, strong, muscular and lean, he is towering over everyone here, his hair brown and wild, he is wearing an armor made by the beast that the adventures are struggling to even scratch. In his arm he holds a huge mace, it is large enough to dwarf most people I know.
His back is turned at us, looking at the monster as they seemed to be more excited from the prospect of killing a god, after all from what I heard in the stories, a god essentially becomes mortal once they descend to the lower world, with their power sealed.
He looked at us, his eyes playful yet serious, he smiled a toothy grin and slowly made his way towards us. His eyes looking straight, At me?
huh? he's making his way towards me? why?
he stops in front of me, he's towering over me as he looks down.
"What's your name boy?" he asked me, his voice, deep and loud.
"August..." I answer, my eyes looking at his, not backing off at his stare.
"I like your eyes boy, strong eyes, a warrior's eyes. you'll do."
I don't know what he's talking about. I'll do? I'll do what exactly? and what's this about my eyes being that of a warrior.
"I am Heracles, the God of strength and heroes." He introduced himself, his voice booming. "And I chose you as the first member of my Familia."

*Narration*
°Heaven°
Heracules came down to the lower world, much to the surprise of the gods in heaven, after all his decisions came out of nowhere.
Buddha couldn't stop laughing at the gods, their confusion making him giggle as he looked at the magical mirror with a happy smile.
"The Son of the bitch really did it. hahahahaha!!!" his laughter echoes as the god stares at him, but he doesn't care.
they're angry because Heracles didn't ask for permission to descend, he just did, same as he always did. His attitude of 'fuck repercussions I'll do what I want' pissed the gods, they thought it to be disrespectful.
After all he didn't even ask Ouranos for permission.
And Buddha loved every minute of it.
"That crazy idiot."
"What was he thinking."
"Heracles you fucking buffon."
"What do you expect from a former mortal"
the gods can only pull their hair and throw insults in the air as they watch with their eyes red down below.
they watch as Heracles approaches the boy, and declares him for every one to hear to be the first person in his familia.
Buddha couldn't hold back his laughter, the gods hung their jaws in shock. Heracles, the god of strength and heroes, descended to the lower world, and the first thing he did was ordering a boy to join his familia.
Buddha laughter echoed all throughout heaven much to the annoyance of the other gods.

°Lower world°
The Monsters are entering a frenzy, eating the flesh of a god was all that they can think of.
After all, it's not every day that they could have a taste of divine meat.
The adventurers looked at the God as he declared the boy to join him, after all August was still too young in their eyes. and with the god here they know that the fight will become much harder because the monster will become more enraged.
"Excuse me lord Heracles, But you being here draws more monsters towards us." Riveria said straying not to act rude towards the divinity in front of her.
He ignored the elf, his eyes focusing on the boy. August contemplated what he heard.
Join this God's familia? a god he never heard of before, will he be able to have strength if he joined him? will he be strong?
"Boy I can see it in your eyes. a hunger for power, I can give it to you."
and those words sealed the deal.
August hunger for strength made the deal easy for him, he wants this, he wants to be strong, the strongest there is. and he will take it.
"Yes!!! I'll join your familia."
"Good choice." Hercles then looked at the adventurers who could stand and fight, then his eyes travelled to the monsters, their mouth salivating at him. he gave the monster a smirk.
The monsters charged, their weapons at the ready, their expression madden with excitement.
"Buy us time." Heracles ordered as he walked relaxingly behind August.
The adventurers prepared themselves, seeing no way out but to follow the God's order.
Riveria bombarded the incoming monsters with her spells, as the others stood their ground waiting for the horde to come near.
as the fight rage on Heracules took a dagger out, he pricked his fingers drawing blood.
"Take off your shirt boy." August complied, taking off his shirt he felt the cool air hitting his body.
Heracles let a drop of his blood fall on August's back, He felt his body instantly become warmer, as he glowed bright white, blindingly so, Beowulf also glowed along with its master, as a chain connected Beowulf with August heart.
"Interesting." Heracles mumbled, staring at the chain.
Marking like a tattoo started to appear on August's back, Heracles symbol, below it his stats shows.

Heracules stared at the boys stat, it was nothing special, a standard stat for a newly born adventurer, but his skill, to receive a skill as a new adventure was rare, he even has two, granted the other one is because of his weapon.
A smile bloomed at the God's face. He made a good choice in descending down because of the boy.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!" He laughed, he was happy at the boy. he will become strong, perhaps even the strongest in the future. but that would all depend on the boy.

*August PoV*
I felt power rushing deep inside me. it feels good, I haven't felt anything like this. the spear in my hand glowed as I felt its power cursing through me.
My eyes looked up front, seeing the monsters fighting with the adventurer as they outnumbered them by a huge margin. My blood boiled in seeing this, seeing those things.
Beowulf at my side, releasing a violent aura, urging me to go and slaughter them.
"Give them hell." I heard my god, and my body as if natural release mana in the air. gripping my spear I rushed on the front at speed I didn't know I have.
"AUGUST!!!" I heard miss Shakti, she was trying to stop me. but I don't care. seeing them, seeing the monster in front of me, I can't stop myself. I want to kill them all.
I dashed in front of a goblin, he shoved his weapon towards me, slow, I can see it clearly, it was so slow, and my body moved naturally, I moved my head to dodge the attack, and thrust my spear straight at his head.
Like a hot knife through butter, my spear penetrated its head, I can feel no resistance from its bones. his blood squirting at my face, i smiled at the sight.
Beowulf Absorb some of its blood, as I can feel more magic pumping inside me.
Another goblin rushed at me, with a smile on my face I moved my spear and slashed it at his neck, he tried to block it, but my body moved the strike below, hitting its kneecap and cutting it. I raised my feet and stomped its head. blood gushing as his grey matter soiled my feet.
More, I wanna kill more. I laughed and rushed deeper inside the melee killing everything in my path, at every kill I feel my body growing stronger. It feels good. I can't get enough of this feeling.
I saw an orc, and I felt the anger reach its climax, I remember the orc that killed my family.
I ran towards it, a kabold tried to get in my way, it was annoying, I slashed my spear upwards hitting it at the groin slicing it in half as I continued my pursuit at the orc.
It sees me coming, a smile on his face, maybe because he sees me as a child. but that smile really pissed me off.
He slashed his sword down, its edges rusty and jagged, It was faster than the others yet my body seems to know what to do.
I caught it with my spear, I felt my hand tremble with the strike, it was stronger than me so I angled my spear so that its attack would slide off the ground.
I stabbed my spear at his abdomen, it was hard and I couldn't get a wound deep enough for it. still it didn't faze me. I pulled back as the orc roared angrily, it swung its weapon savagely, his weapon grazed my checks as I was late at dodging it.
I rolled at the ground as he slammed its weapon straight down, and with its head low it looked at me, that was its mistake, in my hands a handful of dirt. I throw it at its eyes, blinding it.
I then rushed and stabbed it at its nape, twisting my spear to go deeper.
"HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT YOU FUCKING BITCH!!!" I don't know what got over me, maybe because of hanging out with the adventurers I adopted their vocabulary. still it feels good saying it as I twist Beowulf deep in it.
It howled in pain trying to reach behind it, its movement carrying me along with it, I didn't let go though, I laughed loudly watching him struggle.
At the side of my eye I see two monsters rushing towards me, I hurriedly pulled out my spear and rushed towards them.
I'll get back to that orc later, it won't be going anywhere with the wound it has.
I slid down, dodging a cleaver from hitting me, as I did I aim my spear on the goblins stomach, hearing it scream in pain filled me with joy, the other one tried stabbing me while I was down, I pulled and twirl hitting it at its feet,
I stood up fast and stabbed it in its eye, killing it instantly, damn it didn't make a sound, I want to hear it scream in pain. oh well.
I continued killing anything resembling a monster in sight I lost count on how many but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
.
.
.
minutes passed, and the monsters seeing their inevitable loss decided to run, I was planning on chasing them but stopped as I heard a cry of pain.
My eyes moved and saw the orc that I stabbed on the nape earlier.
It was crawling on its belly, trying its best to get away.
"Ha-- haha-- Hahahahahaha!!!" I couldn't stop myself from laughing, seeing it pathetically try to crawl away.
I walked towards it, towards this thing. I stabbed it at its shoulder, it screams filled the air.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Using my spear I turned it around on its back, and got a good look at it, it looked scared, fear deep in its eyes as it looked at me, using its elbow to move back.
"Pathetic..."
I raised my spear up and slammed it down, aiming for its head, making sure that the blade didn't hit it. I want it to experience pain.
Again.
again.
again.
and again.
"-gust." I heard a voice.
still I slammed my spear at the trash in front of me, its face becoming a fleshy mess as blood and bones plastered the ground.
"August..." I heard it again. someone's calling me, it can wait.
"Hahahahaha!!!" I laughed watching the orc twitch as my spear pummeled its head on the ground. some of the blood splattered in my face, a drop even got inside my mouth. disgusting. I slammed my spear harder and harder.
"AUGUST!!!" I felt an arm pulling me on my shoulder. I turned because of the force and saw miss Shakti, tears in her eyes looked at me with pity.
why is she looking at me like that? I won, I killed them, eh? my face feels wet, is this tears? eh? why am I crying.
I looked around, every adventurers is looking at me, their eyes filled wity pity. I saw my God Heracles, he is looking at me seriously. his eyes staring at my very soul.
I looked back at miss Shakti as she pulled me into her embrace, her voice whispering in my ears. telling me that it was over, that it was enough.
I feel my energy exiting my body, I feel tired and dizzy.
I want to sleep.
then everything went dark as my mind succumbed to rest.
