Chapter 8: Awakening The God King System!!!
For the next six hours straight, Nolan did nothing but clean up the area around his house and his own room.
Even as a coal miner who worked in dirt, he had always been fond of cleanliness, as it gave him a clear head.
Within the six hours, he was able to completely wipe off the grime growing all over the ground.
He also washed away the dark sooty objects on the walls of the house that made it look pitch black and disgusting, and in a few hours, he had completely revolutionized the smelly-looking backyard to something at least livable.
Once he finished giving the outside of the house a good look, he moved inside.
He brought out every object from within the house and then washed everything he could lay his eyes on, even the walls!
There were two rooms in the house: the kitchen, which was completely empty of any food save for a few pieces of dried bread, and the other room was the toilet, which left much to be desired.
Everything underwent a thorough clean, and after the rooms were sparkling clean, Nolan began arranging the objects back into the house after clearing away the soot that covered them.
In less than three hours, he was able to successfully finish that, and entering the room now, a new odor permeated everywhere.
An odor that Nolan could breathe in deeply and feel his heart calming within his chest.
"Now this is my home," he mused to himself, satisfied with his work.
Normally, Nolan felt bitter that he had to live in such a place when other students like him lived in the grand building itself.
But he knew well not to be too stupid to just waltz into the building screaming for justice.
If there was any justice in this academy, then the previous Nolan wouldn't be living here, nor would he have died.
For now, he was powerless, and his only choice was to use what was available to him.
With the cleaning done, he could finally think for himself and walked over to the table where he had packed all the books of the previous Nolan.
Opening it up, he discovered they all covered a single subject: how to use a dagger!
In the next instant, Nolan stretched forth his hand.
Quickly, white aura began condensing at the top of his palm under Nolan's curious gaze, and after ten seconds, something appeared in Nolan's palm.
Something that made him shocked, even though it wasn't supposed to.
It was Nolan's first special ability as a Greek Descent.
It was a spearhead with a shortened handle, thus resembling a large dagger, and a two-pronged, jitte-like blade.
The blade's edges were currently rusty, and at its center was a strange symbol of a blood-red circle whose ends never touched but continued sideways instead.
"Hmmm," a slight hum escaped Nolan's lips as he looked at the blade.
According to his memories, every Celestial Heir could awaken their first ability at the age of 12.
The stronger and more pure their bloodline is, the stronger and more pure their ability is.
Nolan's ability was the blade, but not once had it saved Nolan from his bullies.
And the reason was simple: his lack of control over divine essence.
While the blade could currently rest easily on Nolan's palm, once he was entirely sucked off his divine essence, the blade would become too heavy for him to naturally lift.
And without even being able to lift his own blade, he would get defeated by the others in a blink.
Nolan had understood this uselessness so much that he left the blade to rot away in his ability space, never bringing it out for close to entire months now.
But Nolan's eyes narrowed when he felt the strange golden panel appear before his gaze once more, and some words were quickly formed.
[Greek Descent Ability has been sensed. Scanning Host's First Ability]
[Result Achieved.]
[Host's Greek Descent ability is the Lost Dagger of Kratos!]
[Host's first Greek Deity has been discovered!]
[Host is an apostle of Kratos, the last God of War and Strength]
[Modifying System's Current Activity to the discovery.]
[System Modified...]
[Congratulations, Host, on officially awakening the God King System!]
"The... God King... System?"
[Host should call out the words 'System Interface' to learn more about its power...]
The runic golden notification panel came as quite the surprise to Nolan, rendering him speechless for a while.
Of course, he wasn't a newbie to the world of systems, but that was also exactly what made him speechless.
It seemed too wild to believe, but he called out nonetheless....
"System Interface"
[Host's Info] [Host Attributes] [Descents] [Descent Skills] [Shop] [Quests]
Focusing his attention on the Host's attributes, the notification panel's message immediately changed.
[Host Information]
- Name: Nolan Gottschald
- Sacred Name: God's Slave
- Title: ??
- Age: 16
- Level: 1
- Class: God's Slave
- Exp: 0/100
- HP: 70/100
- Divine Essence: 20/20
"My Sacred Name is God's Slave? Is that why others can control my own divine essence both within and outside and I can't?"
"That looks more like a curse than a Sacred Name..." Nolan mused with furrowed eyebrows, looking at the Sacred Name aspect.
Even though he had just returned from the hospital, his HP wasn't full, and that was due to the small bullying he got on his way.
Also, his Divine Essence was very small, but he didn't care much about it since it was useless anyway.
Still, it showed him whatever this was, it was pretty accurate.
Swiftly, he moved to the next panel, and that was the real high-brow-raising fact....
[Host Attributes...]
-Strength: 7
-Agility: 5
-Perception: 6
-Charm: 4
-Intelligence: 12
{Attributes Points: 0}
"Hmmm, this is strange. I'm not really sure what this numbers signify. They look low but what are the standard stats points for others..." Nolan whispered but the golden panel changed.
[Let me do the host a honour and explain to him of his patheticness.]
"I'm pretty sure that word don't exist." Nolan unconsciously argued back.
[It does in my dictionary! The normal attributes stats points for the ordinary lesser mortals with no Divine Energy is 10 in all attributes.
And for the Celestial Heirs. The average of thier stats points is double that of mortals which is 20 at least.
That means, not only is Host weak but even weaker than a mortal even though Host is a Celestial Heir!]
