Max was surrounded on all four sides by werewolves, the only weapon in his possession was a piece of rock and there was no help coming. In this situation Max knew that he had only two ways to win, which were to try the divine and conquer strategy, and attack them on their throats as hard as he could with the rock to collapse their airway when given the chance. " Oh, come on now! Don't waste your time circling me looking for openings, you have created a commotion in the middle of the most guarded…

"Don't worry kids, Uncle Max will protect you" Max said as he fought off the intense pain in his ribs and stood upright while picking up two palm sized rocks from the rubble of the explosion. *Grrrrrr* The pack of five wolves growled as they slowly circled in on him, Max tried to summon to fry them to a crisp, but found his body once again unable to sense and mobilise mana as he could not summon his attack. Harry the werewolf pounced on Max and despite his slow and heavy body, Max rolled…

" I'm sorry brother, I have failed you " Max said with a heavy voice as a steady stream of tears ran down his eyes. The familiar scent of his brother's body, doubled with his calm presence and affection was too much for Max to handle against his own inner guilt as he finally broke down into tears and hugged his own brother knowing full well that this was all an illusion. " Haha, it's fine Max, it's really just some small sums of money, it's not something to cry over about " Rudra said as he…

" Today is a celebration brother, both Jake and Amy have managed to reach tier 1 " Rudra said as he stroked the heads of both kids who were smiling innocently towards their uncle. " Is that so? Well done " Max said, his voice cracking a little as he realised the reality behind the situation. Had he not failed to save Rudra's kids in real life when the new year's attack happened, this might have been the reality he would be living in. His brother would be alive and the family unit would be…

" Listen to me well boy, there is a difference between the tier promotion tests you have given uptil now and the tier promotion test you are about to attempt today. The tier5 promotion test is essentially just a further extension of the tier4 promotion test. In tier4 the lightning helps reforge your body, your bodily processes improve and you go from being a mortal to a demi-god. Your reactions are way faster, your ability to control destructive spells is higher and you become one of the…

Max woke up at the bottom of a lake. Naturally, as any individual would be he was startled to see that he was surrounded by water and not air as his survival reflexes kicked in and he immediately held his breath as his heart rate spiked. " Calm down boy, You are in a safe environment " A deep primal voice that Max recognised to be Angakok's sounded in his ears as he calmed down a little and realised that he had a peculiar seaweed sticking out of his mouth which was helping him breath at the…

Max knew that the ritual he was about to perform was not only complex but also extremely dangerous. It was a forbidden soul magic, a power that even the most skilled gods dared not to dabble in. This type of magic delved into the very essence of a creature's soul, and any mistake could lead to catastrophic consequences. Although he understood that it was dangerous, he did not understand the exact level of danger associated with this magic. The longer duration for which one was dead, the…

( 20 days after Max's training began ) Max's mind was a little relieved and a little worried at the same time. Just as Angakok had expected, exactly on day 20 Max had managed to maximise all of his stats except agility. The poison baths had helped maximise endurance. Angakok had completed the dexterity stat maximisation personally and the memory packets he left in Max's mind helped Max rapidly absorb years worth of knowledge in mere days helping him reach maximisation for intelligence stat…

The memory fragment that Angakok had provided Max with today was a special one. The shaman god's greatest accomplishment seemed to come from the fact that he had killed the sea god Poseidon and enslaved his pet beast the Kraken. This feat was a part of the chant that was used to summon him, and today it was a small figment of that battle that he had decided to share with Max. Once Max delved into the memory packet, he seemed to be in the middle of the ocean, for as far as his eye could see…

In a blink of an eye, 14 days passed by quickly as Max hit stat maximisation for his endurance stat and was no longer forced to sit in horrendous poison baths. As a result of the gruelling training, not only did he maximise his endurance stat but also gained high poison resistance. His dexterity stat had also been improving very fast, with Angakok managing to improve its value by +3 to +5 on a daily basis, pushing it close to stat maximisation as well. Max knew that if there was one stat he…
