My Hermes System

A Speedster in a Fantasy World More than a thousand years ago, portals opened up in the world. Swallowing up the world whole with the vile creatures that came out of it. The humans struggled for years as their weaponry could only get them as far as fending them off. But everything changed when the first super human was discovered, a child that was born after the portals have appeared. From then on, the humans have discovered that there were others, and they all held the same power... A power that was known as the System. And those who were born with it were called System Holders. The System Holders, with their mysterious powers, were the ones who helped recover the world from the monsters, once again reclaiming it. And now, a hundred years later, a System Holder was born, the Holder of the Hermes System, the Gatherer of Souls.

Chapter 405: The Politics of Gods

Arms, weapons, a higher civilization-- all of those are meaningless in front of an absolute power. Thousands of years ago, they waged wars against each other. For territory, for food… for dominance. And by the end of it, on the brink of mutual destruction, they found peace with each other.

And never once did war show itself again to their doorsteps. There were hidden and secret conflicts that led to bloodshed, but not to the point where lives would be lost at the millions once again.

The war happened because one thinks they were better than the other. But in the front of a being that surpasses all their arms, their weapons, and their technology-- how would one even start a war?

Supreme Minister J'kub's mouth had been completely dry for almost a minute now; his eyes reflecting the screams and shrieks of the man being burned alive in front of a thousand people.
