My path
"Hmmm, I wonder where Jotnar is. It's been at least 5 hours. Soon, it's going to get dangerous if he isn't home. In 1 hour, I'm going to go get him myself.
Ouch!
Uhh, how did I lose? I threw my axe perfectly. It should have knocked him out, and my enchantment didn't even block a bit of the spell. Dammit, I only had one more technique I could use, and that's not even strong enough to get him, even though it's my unique skill.
Unique skills are skills that grow and evolve with the user. It can be as simple as being a master cook or being able to master all weapons just by using them once.
Kicking the air around him, Jotnar walked a bit far into the woods without even realizing it. "Oo, where am I?" Jotnar looked at the massive 600 feet tall tree. "Wow, that's big." He saw a hole in the tree and decided to walk in there. He saw 3 things: 2 {technique cards} - one red and one black.
His mouth dropped at the sight of the red and black cards. "There's no way, no way, no way, no way… with these, I can catch up to those snob-nosed royals and nobles, and I can even beat those with a system. Who cares about a system? I can beat them all with this!" He began to approach the cards.
{God of Fire Technique: Demon's Blaze}
{God of Shadows and Ice Technique: Shadow of Infinite Void and Frost Freeze}
{Do you wish to learn?}
{Do you wish to command us?}
"I wish to learn."
{God of Fire Technique: Demon's Blaze acquired}
{Proficiency 0%}
"I wish to command you! I beg of you, I need you."
{Why do you deserve to command us?}
"Because I will be the most powerful. I swear upon it, Jotnar Hellstine."
{To prove your power, you must beat the Supreme God System. To prove to us you are the strongest, one day you must beat the most powerful there is.}
"The Supreme God System? What the hell is that? Whatever, I swear upon my name, Jotnar Hellstine."
{Then, if you swear upon your name, we will grant you our power. Until the day you can use our full strength, we will remain dormant. We wish you the best of luck. You do best not to lie on your name. Complete this goal within your remaining lifespan, and you shall unlock a power so great all shall bow at your feet.}

Jotnar's eyes wandered to the last thing there – four sticks. "What are these four?" he picked them up.
{Ego Weapon obtained}
{Crafting a weapon for personality}
{Four axes obtained}
{We grow with you}
{Mastery 5 percent}
"Uhh, how did this happen? These were just sticks. What's an ego weapon? Whatever, this looks different from a technique. Whatever, I guess I will be using these from now on. They look pretty cool too. I'm going to put them in my strap real quick. I swear, I will get strong. Just wait, I will prove you wrong."
"There you are. What happened?"
"Uhh, I was playing with some kid named Thor. Then why do you look like a baked potato?" "We got dirty in some mud, so when I wiped it off, I looked like this."
"Alright, well, wait. Did you say Thor?"
"Uhh, yeah, Thor. Why, the sponsored vice chieftain? What's that?" "He's most likely in line for the role of becoming the chief."
"The same role as father?"
"Yes, he can enter the race."
"Then that's why he left." "(I thought he left because he was a dick, I guess not.)"
"Yeah, I assume so. Well, you better prepare for the knight academy. It's only in 10 years, so be prepared."
"Trust me, Mom, I am."
"Alright, whatever you say."
10 YEARS LATER

JOTNAR
Coming, no need to yell. Jotnar looked in the mirror, long red spiky hair with a lean toned body, wearing puffy pants and sandals with a strap that covers his body like a stash where he stores his axes, and his sexy green eyes.
Jotnar
Coming.
20 mins later…
"Wow, this is the academy! It's a massive castle."
"Do your best, I love you.(I hope you pass the exam)"
"I love you too, Mom. "
"Wow."
In a room, 200 people waited, all crammed together, while 15 people sat on a balcony – people who passed the royal academy. My sister was one of them. I waved, but she ignored me, or didn't see me, I couldn't tell.
"Ahem… SHUT UP, THE LOT OF YOU! I am the instructor in charge of this exam. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."
"What do we do during the exam?" a student asked.
"You see, that's enough questions."
All the students, including me, thought the same thing, "You didn't even answer a single question though."
"The first test of this exam is intelligence. We'll see who among you even has a little bit of brain."
"I will list the results:
1 Jotnar Hellstine
2 Lilly Hellstine
3 Thor Vonjince
4 Glitststone Ulma
5 Shadow Fredrick
6 Heldga Jano
7 Hrek Husyon
The rest were background characters, but almost half the people got eliminated. 120 people left, 80 people eliminated.
The second test of the exam is strength. First up, Lilly Hellstine versus Shadow Fredrick.
BEGIN!
"[OH DEMON OF ICE, HEAR MY CALL AND BESTOW UPON ME YOUR CHILLING WIND] [FROZEN GUST]"
"Wow, that's impressive," Lady Shadow mocked, "anyways… [OH DARK LORD, HEAR ME, BLESS ME WITH YOUR POWER]
[DARK RESTRAINTS]
[ICE BATH]
[DARK OVERLOAD]
[ICE PARADE]
[DARK SHADOW INSTANT MOVEMENT]
[OH DEMON OF ICE, I BEG TO LET ME GO FARTHER, GRANT ME YOUR POWER]"
"You're wide open. Going for a long chant at this point is dumb. It gives me enough time to destroy you." "[SHADOW BLAST]"
"Hey, you think. Watch this, you bastard." "[ICE AGE]"
Lilly Hellstine won. Winning move: Ice Age. The whole stage is frozen.
"Wow, that's some powerful spells. Her system must be strong. I wonder what it's called."
"It's called… 'You think she'll marry me? She's hot. Look at that red hair, and don't get me started on the doll-like blue eye and sexy body.'"
"You think her brother will be as good?"
"Who knows? Are they even related?"
"That was impressive."
"That Shadow guy is pretty powerful too. I don't think he's getting out."
"Yeah, if he cast a serious spell instead of Shadow Blast, he could have won."
"Wouldn't he have gotten rushed?"
"She was charging one, two."
"If he was faster, he could win."
"QUIET DOWN, YOU BRATS! Next up, Thor Vonjince versus Glitststone Ulma.
BEGIN!
"[O GOD OF THUNDER, HEAR MY CALL. SMITE MY FOE INTO CHARCOAL AND DESTROY THEM WITH MY MIGHT] [THUNDER RAMPAGE]"
"Wow, that's strong. I wonder if this Glint Stone girl can win. Well, let's see…"
"Wow, scary spell. Let's see who wins this struggle."
(Damn, the spell summoned a giant rain of thunder that's taking the form of a rhino. I gotta use that spell. Damn it.) "[OH GOD OF FIRE, HEAR ME. BURN THOSE WHO STAND IN MY WAY. SHOW THEM THE POWER OF A GOD'S ANGER]"
"Wow, two people with god systems. That's so amazing."
"Wow."
"Cool."
"[FLAME EMPOWER]"
"Wow, that's a giant fireball she's summoning above her head. Wow, that's cool. BOOM."
"Wow, it clashed. It's so bright. Who do you think won?"
"I don't know. I can't see either." Thor Vonjince won, but his arm is in tatters. He must've healed quickly. Winning move is his first move, Thunder Rampage.
Next up, Jotnar Hellstine versus Heldga Jano.
BEGIN…"
