Chapter 1

My body reflexively moved on it's own and before i knew it, i was falling from the sky. I looked down to see the surface, only to find out that i was in the middle of the ocean. Why here of all places?

Putting magic into my feet, I started floating mid air just as i was about to hit the surface of the ocean.

    “Where the hell is this?”

Upon saying that, i created a mini raft, perfect for one person using a creation magic spell. I then landed on it.

    “I need to get back as soon as possible. But how? It seems like the mana is very thick around this area in the ocean, something powerful is lurking around.”

I stood up on the raft and look into the abyss of the ocean, but i couldn't sense what it was. Just as i was about to turn my eyes away, i felt a burse of mana coming up from the abyss.

    “What the..”

The water beneath me shook violently, and a giant sea dragon came out of it. This was no doubt, the queen of the sea dragons. I then said while smirking.

    “What a time to appear, Diana.”

The sea dragon paused for a moment, it's eyes look a bit confused or puzzled. It shook it's head again the next moment however and went straight ahead for me, full speed.

    “You've become pretty naughty these past years, don't even recognize your own friend?”

    The sea dragon ignored me completely and proceed with it's assaulted. I stretched my hand forward and used a spell.

    “.”

    The next moment, a swarm of glowing blue chains erupted from a magic circle that appeared around me, binding the sea dragon completely. The sea ahead of me then froze completely, allowing me to walk towards the now binded dragon.

    “You don't even recognize me? Diana?”

The sea dragon looked at me, puzzled. A second later however, it's pupil shrink, as tears came out of it's eyes. Acknowledging this a sign that it recognises me, i unbind the chain from her. Immediately after i did, it rubbed it's head on my hand.

    “Seems like you were just wary after all. It's nice to meet you again, old friend.”

Diana seemed to want to say something, but is unable to because she didn't have a vocal cord such as humans.

    “.”

Diana's body suddenly distorted and in the next moment, a beautiful woman with blue hair appeared before me, *****. This was Diana's human form. I was the only one capable of turning her into one, and it's been centuries since i last did it. She then uttered her first word in centuries.

    “Z-zankoku? I-is that you!?”

As expected, she's having some difficulty. She'll adapt soon enough so I wouldn't need to worry.

    “Yes. Im not sure if you're aware, but I've been sent into the future by the Deity of Control, Anan.”

    “I see.. i see.. that's why.. your scent.. very familiar.”

I didn't expect her to remember by scent so clearly. Well it's to be expected, we're pretty close.

    “My country is facing some difficulty right now. The deities are sending down apostles to wreck havoc, I need to get back fast.”

    “Is that so.. then, if you want, I'll let you ride me.”

    “It's fine, we can move at an equal speed. I don't want you to suddenly have to turn back. Adapt to this body again for a bit.”

She understood and sat down on the raft. I then used a spell to create clothes for her. The fastest way to get back right now is by teleportation spell, but this place is packed with magic power, so it's a bit difficult. I'll need to get out of here first. I went to the back edge of the raft and stretched my hand.

    “”

A bright light shone around for a second or two. After it dissapeared, a medium sized box appeared on the back edge of the boat. This is a creation called a 'motor'.

    “Let's go.”

The motor started operating at a fast speed and we started moving. We were moving at 100 miles per hour. I say down on the raft next to Diana.

    “Hey Diana, you're familiar with this area aren't you? Can you tell me the shortest route to place with normal mana density?”

    “Sure.. at the west.”

West? My country is at the east, it shouldn't be too far. I stood up and went to the edge of the raft. I then calmly touched the surface of the water and used a spell.

    “

A wave of energy moves everywhere around the area and a paper the size of a map appears in my hand. A couple minutes later, lines started to appear at the map, and eventually it came out to be a full fledged map. I then went over to Diana.

    “Can you hold on to this for me Diana?”

    “Sure.”

I sat beside her.

    “What have you been doing these past centuries, Diana?”

    “...The usual.”

    “Elaborate.”

    “Hunting trespassers.. hunting for food.. sleep.. lead..”

Seems like much hasn't changed.

BWU! BWU! BWU!

The ocean beneath us starts to shake violently as an outline of a giant sea monster appears below us. Diana looked at it with a fierce expression, as if annoyed.

    “What is he doing here..? I'll take care of him.”

I stopped her before she does so.

    “Don't, I'll take care of it.”

I stood up and stretch my hand towards it. Scarlet red black flame slowly emerge from my arm.

    “.”

The scarlet red flame shot at it at a terrifying speed, splitting the sea in the process. When it hit the sea monster, it screeched violently, as it's body erupted in flame.

    “Nice..!”

    “Thanks.”

Leaving it's carcass here wouldn't be so good. It'll attract more sea monsters. I focused my gaze towards the carcass and uses a spell.

     “.”

The next moment after i said that, the carcass dissapeared without a trace, not even blood nor smell.

    “Amazing..!”

I went and sat down beside Diana again. Diana's human body had changed over the years. When i first made it for her, she looked like a teenager. But now, she looks more like an early adult.

    “You've grown pretty old Diana.”

Diana looked at me, frowning.

    “Im.. not!”

    “Well, maybe according to your race.”

Diana pouts and rests her head on my shoulder. Her hair is soft. She smelled like.. well, a fish. Before i knew it, i had already slept with Diana leaning on me.

...

I open my eyes to drops of rain falling down my face. Diana had also unexpectedly woken up.

    “Rain?”

    “A thunderstorm is about to come judging by the state of the cloud. It'll probably be more dangerous than the usual one since magic is packed up here. We should find shelter.”

I look around for shelter but found none. I however, found a giant mountain that stretches onto the sky, it's shape is roughly similar to that of a pillar. This thing is everywhere.

    “Let's dig a shelter there.”

    “We probably shouldn't..”

Diana said that with a hint of concern. I decided to ask her to about it.

    “Why? Is there any rule regarding doing so?”

    “Well.. my father said that.. there are deities on top of these mountains.. and that we shouldn't do anything reckless to the pillar mountains.. as to not anger them.”

I smirked and answered.

    “That makes it better, Let's go.”

Diana was hesitant, but she sighed and gave in.

    “Why was i even hesitating..? It's you after all.”

    “Hahaha, you get it.”

I stood up from my position and sink my leg in the water to change the trajectory of the boat.

    “Alright... Perfect..!”

The boat successfully turns its trajectory. We were moving a bit slower than usual because of the high tides from the storm.

   ...

30 Minutes passed, and we finally arrived at the edge of the mountain. I parked our raft at the far edge of the beach to avoid stealing, we both then explored the place together.

    “Looks pretty normal overall.”

    “Mhm.”

Suddenly however, the ground beneath us shook lightly, the source coming from behind us. Looking back, we both saw a horde of boars running towards us. Diana immediately knew that they were running from something.

    “They're running from something.”

    “I figured.”

The ground beneath us rumbles as powerful footstep shook it. A harsh voice spoke.

    “Who dares invade my territory!? The territory of the the holy deity!?”

Seems like there's a guardian here, seems to be a giant. I looked at Diana, and she looked a bit unease.

    “We're here to seek shelter.”

    “As if I'd let some puny human seek shelter in this holy mountain!”

Before we could reply, he swinged his giant club, which he had in hand

WOOOSHH!

Coating my hand with mana, i blocked the swinging club effortlessly.

    “Wha-”

    “If we defeat you, will you let us seek shelter here”

He instead of replying, laughed at our question.

    “HAHAHAHA! As if I'd lose to some weak human!”

Along with his annoying laugh, he also started stomping the ground as it shook.

    “Haha.. HAHAHAH- OOOGHH!!”

Before he noticed, i had already stab his stomach with a mere stick. Deep dark blood splurt everywhere as the giant went on a rampage, destroying the trees around. The giant shouted in pain as he holds his stomach.

    “HUAAAAHH.. IT HURTS!! IT HURTS!!!”

    “You better shut up, or I'll put more holes on your body, Piece of shit.”

The giant fell on his back and started painting. Seems like he's about to die.

    “Weaker than i expected. I bet you could've taken him, Diana.”

    “Mhm.”

The giant looked at me as i walk past him, looking at me in desperation.

    “I was planning to have a friendly talk with you, but seems like killing you would be the best thing to do right now.”

Raising my foot onto the air, i used a spell which made it start burning with scarlet black flame.

    “”

I stomp my foot towards the part just below the neck of the giant, his bones crack as his flesh started burning, His eyes went wild as he dies slowly from the pain.

    “This is why I don't like giants, A bunch of meatheads.”
