Chapter 5 : Training
God Eaft, is the main god and the creator of everything in this world including Mana to the Threalm World itself. God Eaft became the object of worship for all of his creations which consisted of various Races, from the weakest race to the superior race that had lived together and side by side in the Threalm World.
The Threalm World, is a world inhabited by more than one race. The Threalm World is filled with various Race creatures ranging from Humans, Vampires, Elves, Dwarves (Dwarves) and even Dragons (Dragons) also exist, in fact there are still many Races that have not been mentioned because there are too many Races that live in the Threalm World.
Humans are the Race with the most population in this world, but they are not the Race that dominates in this world, both in terms of strength, intelligence, as well as cultural and technological advances. Unlike Earth where the entire population is Human, while Animals and Plants are only a few percent of them. And on Earth, Humans dominate in every way, on the other hand in the Threalm world, Humans are not at the top of the hierarchy creature, because Humans are not the only Race in the Threalm world.
Each Race has its own advantages and disadvantages, and several Races also coexist peacefully to make up for their shortcomings and provide their advantages, with the exception of the Dragon Race. The Dragon Race has no weaknesses in terms of strength, physique, intelligence, or even Mana, which is why the Dragon Race is called the Absolute Race in this Threalm world. Like the Dragon Race, some other races also choose to live separately because they uphold the majesty of their own race.
But the tranquility of the Threalm World changed completely when large Portals with crack patterns appeared in the void in the skies of various regions. At that moment, the Threalm World was in a state of uproar and panic, everyone assumed that God Eaft was angry, and some also thought that today was Doomsday.
Not long after that, 7 alien figures emerged from every crack in the portal in various parts of the Threalm world with great pressure and extreme intimidation. Everyone gaped with mixed feelings, amazed, happy, warm, or even scared. They couldn't describe the shape of the 7 alien beings with common sense, but in their glances they could spontaneously tell that the being that emerged from the crack of the portal was a majestic being that could be called a God.
Their form surpasses the pinnacle of beauty of all who possess beauty, surpasses the pinnacle of majesty of all who possess mightiness, their existence surpasses the pinnacle of splendor of all who are strongest, and even surpasses the pinnacle of fear of all who possess dread. They are the so-called Colossal Gods or what are currently referred to as the 7 Imperial Gods.
The world's time has stopped, but everyone can still move. Then the seven Imperial Gods said..
"We.. have take over your World"
Just a few words, but their voices shook the ground, in fact many people were instantly knocked unconscious with foam at their mouth due to their inability to endure the ripples from the resounding voices of the seven Imperial Gods.
It didn't stop there, they continued to talk again "We have prepared a new world order... and you have to follow the system we created"
Light suddenly appeared on the bodies of the earthlings, both babies, animals, and the various Races living in the Threalm world. The light contained levels and stats, and at the same time, the world was shaken again caused by a unique tall and enormous building rising from the ground in various areas, the building was called the Tower.
Without any explanation regarding the Tower, the Imperial Gods disappeared in the blink of an eye, as did the large crack patterned portal from which the Imperial Gods appeared.
The entire population stared at the huge Tower that appeared in their respective territories, they were curious what kind of building it was. In the end several people from each region and race tried to enter the Tower. When some of the men who had explored the Tower returned home, their bodies covered in bruises and wounds, although their numbers were intact and no one died. These injuries were caused by the ferocity of the Monsters they had encountered in the Tower. However, the results of their efforts brought something amazing, those was medicine that can cure all diseases, minor to serious injuries, and other extraordinary information from there. After that, everyone regarded the Tower as a blessing from the Imperial God, because the Tower contained a lot of very rich resources that even contained resources that could advance a nation beyond the next 10 generations. Finally, all races and region made an agreement regarding exploration in the Tower, and the Hunter profession was created for the first time, namely the name for Tower hunters.
Over times goes by, one region created a new religion that worshiped one of these Imperial Gods, and even another region also worshiped one of the other Imperial Gods. The Imperial Gods consist of 7 Gods, which means the Threalm world has 7 different religions. And then God Eaft
Until the 7 religions developed into big religions, the entire population of the Threalm world began to forget about the God Eaft, the god who created the world and everything in it. But not all residents forget God Eaft's blessings, they still believe in God Eaft's power, but God Eaft's name is a forbidden name and cannot be mentioned, because it would offend the Imperial Gods.
This event is a major event in history and will be permanently engraved in the memories of the inhabitants of the Threalm world, but the story of this event slowly fades and disappears swallowed up by the passage of time, and in the end no one knows about this great event other than the living ancestors, the Immortals, and the Dragon elders who were still hiding in various parts of the Threalm world.
That's the story about the world I currently live in, The Threalm World. I took the time to read the books that Mr. Silva had in between my training. Because reading has been my hobby ever since I was still living in Earth.
The book I read just now is called 'The Truth of Threalm' with a Nameless author which is one of Mr. Silva's ancient books and is strictly forbidden, because this book concerns the 7 Imperial Gods who are in power today and this book also provides historical information which is very important. Actually. Not only the book The Truth of Threalm, there are still many books which are strictly forbidden to circulate with unknown authors as well.
Sometimes I also read some books about Mana, even though I don't have Mana in my body, but at least I have the same method as managing Mana for my Kin energy.
"Hyuma..!! come down quick..!! let's continue the training..!!"<Silva> shouted Silva in the Teasm field behind the house.
"Yes..!! I'll come soon..!!" <Hyuma> he answered while closing the book he was reading and immediately ran towards the Teasm field.
I've been training for the past 2 years, and I feel like I'm undergoing conscription training in preparation for fighting the lord of hell, this is Hell training.
During Silva's training, Hyuma was prohibited from using his Kin's energy, because Silva's training focuses on physical strength.
The first time Hyuma did physical training under Silva's teachings 2 years ago, Silva was very surprised by Hyuma's physical strength. Seeing that Hyuma's body is slightly thin and has no muscles at all, he can run in circles many times around 2 villages surrounded by hills with ease and a long period of time.
Not only that, Hyuma's punches that were not flowed by Kin's energy also had extraordinary strength to the point where the Dummy doll filled with sand that was heavier than his body weight was sent flying far away until it hit the field guardrail after receiving a raw punch from Hyuma. Therefore, Silva provides extra training that is heavier than existing training for human classmates. After carrying out the hellish training, Hyuma began to sweat with heavy breathing and his body began to droop tiredly. From this, Silva understood the limitations of Hyuma's physical level.
Meanwhile in Neira's training, Hyuma is allowed to use his Energy Kin, because Neira's training is energy management. Even though Neira and Hyuma have different Energy, Hyuma can learn it and apply his Energy Kin well. And specifically, Neira has a condition in her training, that Hyuma must call her Master. Silva is a little uncomfortable with Neira's condition that requires Hyuma to call Neira to be called Master Neira, but Silva ignores this condition because he wants to consider Hyuma as his own family.
Back to present, where Hyuma is undergoing Physical training, the Training is running around 2 Villages including the hills that surround it 8 times without being allowed to stop at all, plus Hyuma who is wearing weight bracelet equipment on both his wrists and legs and stomach. The total weight of the ballast equipment reaches 250 kilograms.
*Drrkk**Drrkk*
Each step give off a shiver that made the ground slightly crack. Neira who saw Hyuma's Physical training at first thought it is too much and beyond reason, but after seeing Hyuma's Physical strength raw without the Kin energy used, Neira withdrew her sympathy for Hyuma.
After Hyuma finished running, Hyuma who was drenched in sweat stretched out his right arm and in his mind said 'Self Stats'<Hyuma>
Hyuma's face looked flat with a bit of disappointed when he saw his Level and Stats.
Level = Beginner
- Strength = 10
- Vitality (Vitality and Physical Endurance) = 10
- Agility (Speed) = 10
- Intelligence (Mana) = 1
- Dexterity (Accuracy and Stability) = 10
His level haven't risen ever since he came to this world, and even his Stats haven't increased drastically. Normally a child at the age of 14 should have reached the 'Intermediate' level and his overall Stats were already above 30. Hyuma knew all of those standards, therefore Hyuma little disappointed with the Level and Stats he currently have.
"Don't mind your Level and Stats... seeing as your physical strength and Energy Kin management that you use are already above the average for kids your age... or even higher"<Silva> said Silva with smile encouraging Hyuma.
The corners of Hyuma's mouth lifted and said "I hope so"<Hyuma>
"Okay.. now rest.. and prepare yourself for a Training Match" <Silva> asked Silva>
Hyuma nodded and answered "Yes.."<Hyuma>
On the sidelines of Hyuma's rest time, he often trains his mentality and his sixth sense, 'Intuition'. Hyuma do meditation while sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. The weights used for running earlier were still on his body, but Hyuma remained calm and even dissolved in the flow of energy he feel around him.
In the current 'intuition' training, Hyuma's mind felt calmer and more at ease than before he did this training. He could hear the rustling of grass, the footprints of ants, even Silva and Neira's conversation while drinking coffee while leaning against the field fence, but Hyuma didn't care about their conversation even though he knew they were talking about Hyuma's progress.
'This much abundant energy… I have to utilize it'<Hyuma>
Hyuma immediately absorbs the natural energy around him to become Kin energy in his body, and Hyuma's body slowly emits a golden aura. But he didn't stop to continue absorbing it, until the Energy filled the circuits that flowed in his body full.
"Keuughh..!!"<Hyuma> Hyuma let out a pained voice with his eyes tightly closed.
Silva and Neira noticed that the golden Aura Energy radiated slowly expanding enveloping Hyuma's body.
"Silva.. what is he doing??"<Neira> asked Neira.
"He often does 'intuition' training in between breaks... but I don't know what he's doing right now... The aura he's emitting is huge and ferocious... even though I can't feel the Mana from that aura... but... still... I feel goosebumps"<Silva>
"You don't want to stop it?? I'm afraid something will happen to him"<Neira>
Silva shook his head while smiling "no.. he might try to exceed his limits.. let him be.. maybe this way can make Hyuma get stronger"<Silva>
Back to Hyuma's side who continued to endure the pain because the circuits in his body began to heat up due to the flow of Energy Kin that continued to flow at high speed because Hyuma absorb the rich Energy particles from the nature around him. Hyuma's heart began to beat faster.
'aargghh..!! hold on.. my body..'<Hyuma>
*Dung*
"!!!"<Hyuma>
Stratled by the sound of a hard hitting like Gong reappearing after 2 years since the first time Hyuma used Energy Kin, it's just that the sound of this Gong hitting was 2 times louder than before, making Hyuma flinch and immediately open his eyes.
'??!!'<Hyuma> Hyuma frowned.
What Hyuma see when he opened his eyes was a world filled with gray except for him. And what surprised him even more is the world slowing down, very slow as if the world had stopped because the movement of the world that Hyuma was seeing is so slow.
The wind that blows seems to move very slowly and pushes the grass around. Even the birds that were flying near the tree seemed to slow down as if they had stopped in place. Silva and Neira also look like statues because they don't move at all.
"Eupphh.!! Eupph??!"<Hyuma> Hyuma couldn't open his mouth when he gonna call Silva and Neira, even breathing is very heavy.
The only way Hyuma survived while inhaling the heavy air was to hold his breath. But Hyuma feel that he could last a long time by holding his breath.
'What happened??!! What is this??!!! I.. can't move my body.. but..'<Hyuma> Hyuma stared at the wind particles that were moving a bit.
'I'll try to move.. my body'<Hyuma> he muttered to himself with a look full of confidence.
Hyuma's body shook as he tried to stand up. Although slow, he still tried to get up from his spot.
All of his limbs that moved upwards caused waves to the surrounding area, because the movement was like splitting the air or even tearing apart the void.
'This is… hard.. to move'<Hyuma>
*Dang**Dang*
All the ballast equipment attached to Hyuma's body accidentally released, while those were destroyed due to Hyuma's movement in the world slowed down.
*Dapp**Dapp*
The soles of his feet made waves on the ground like still water being hit by dripping water from above.
When Hyuma was already on his feet, he began to inhale heavy air. Hyuma felt his lungs tighten as he forced heavy air into his lungs.
Then he lifted his heavy right leg to step his foot forward.
'How.. could be??!! Is it because the world suddenly slowed down.. my movements get really heavy.. but.. this is amazing..'<Hyuma>
*Drapp**Crack*
Hyuma took a step with his right foot and created a ripple like droplet effect on the still pool of water and cracks in the void surrounding air.
What he felt was a heavy weight all over his body. When Hyuma moved, he felt like he was moving in water with a very heavy volume of pressure. And the cracks in the void air were also very wide like glass ready to shatter at any moment
When Hyuma stepped for the third time, he stamped his feet with all his might to land quickly, suddenly...
*booooomm*
"Hyuma..!!"<Silva>
"Hyuma..!!"<Neira>
An explosion occurred where Hyuma was and made Silva and Neira shocked and immediately approached Hyuma's place. The world that was previously gray has returned to its original color.
The puff of smoke from the explosion slowly faded to reveal a crater-like depression in the ground with Hyuma standing in the middle of the shattered crater while half-naked and his clothes full of tears. Not only that, Hyuma's entire body was also covered in wounds, from small scratches till wide cuts that were bleeding.
However, Hyuma's face didn't look like he was in pain, but a surprised expression with an innocent face.
'Eh?? Back to normal??'<Hyuma>
Silva and Neira arrived in front of him "Hyuma.. are you okay??"<Neira>
"Hyuma.. what really happened??"<Silva>
"Ehhh... hehe..."<Hyuma>
The two people tilted their heads with a big question mark above their heads thinking he become silly caused hit by something on his head. Because Hyuma only smirked when asked about his condition, seeing the many wounds all over his body with his clothes that were tattered and torn.
