Chapter 1:Peaceful life coming to and end In a worn-out bed a young 1.5 meter baby boy calf who has a greyish type of fur rather than brown and goes to the kitchen to eat breakfast his mother made for him. After finishing eating he goes outside to enjoy a stroll around the tribe. He loves go to the forest and sit on a large tree that can easily hold about 3 adult minotaurs andgazes at the village and sky tilldusk and dawn.He goes back home to eat his dinner and goes back to sleep. He wakes up and the same thing happens again like every other day but as he strolls around the village he sees a colorful butterfly that piques his interest he starts to follow it and goes to the forest and starts chasing after it for about 2 hours and catches it. Feeling proud of himself he sits on a nearby rock to rest as he suddenly hears a loud... BANG, he gets frightened for a moment and calms down he listens to where it could have been and his face starts to frown. It was at the direction his village was at, thinking about his mother he rushes back to his village only to find half of it gone. He sees his fellow minotaurs dieby humans who are heavily equipped with armor, swords, and bows. They all start to die 1 by 1 and the young minotaur coudn''t help but feel scared, he rushes towards his house only to be 5 seconds away to see 3 knights battling against his mother who is badly injured. She sees her own little calf run towards her and can only shout " Run Zorn these humans will not spare a single one of our kind!" and quickly gets stabbed in both sides. She sees him run towards the forest and smiles as she can know that her son can be safe. She feels cold and and her life is gradually falling apart a knight casually walks to her and prepares to slay her saying 2 words "die beast". Zorn is running his fastest as 2 knights are running after him and trips and feels that he is done for. He remembers his mom and can''t help but feel so much hatred towards these humans. They were only living peacefully and haven''t done anything to them, yet they want to kill us. The knights chasing after him smile since their job will be easier and walk casually to him. He can''t stand up as he tries hard to. His fear was pulling him down and just lost all hope. He wanted to survive and help his mom by running away safely, now he will die knowing he let his mother down. The knights unsheathe their swords and kill Zorn. As he feels his very soul lose control and dive deep into hell he suddenly feels a burst of energy in his soul and is in a white room with no decorations. He looks around and sees a young humangirl float there but he knows she isn''t human.Shemay look young but she has this deep aura that makes her so frightening but is supressed withher unimaginary cuteness."what is your name young minotaur?" ..... a deep silence and he finally speaks up. "my name is Zorn" "where am i?" the young lady replies "you''re in my dimension and, as you can see your dead" Zorn freezes up then calmy says "so am i going to the depths of hell?" The girl laughs " no you see,I created your race and I hate the humans for killing them so im giving you power to kill them with a move of your hand" "so what powers are you gonna give me?" Zorn went straight to the point. Having powers does sound cool and he eagerly wants to know. She giggles and says " I shall give you divine affinity with fire and earth, have 100x more strength than ordinary minotaurs, and I shall give you martial powers and have techniques built into your brain, do not share them with other beings as they are legendary cultivation techniques that noone has but me!" saying proudly. "well off you go I hope to see you demolish them!" With the flick of her wrist he is sent back more stronger than ever.This novel''s true home is a different platform.

I was wearing a ragged tunic and some short worn old leggings. I should¡¯ve asked her if I can get a little bit more help with these powers I got but oh well, i¡¯ll find out sooner or later. ¡°I might as well go back to my tribe and see what¡¯s happening now¡± Zorn went back to the village he once lived in, now it¡¯s filled with humans. There are about 300 humans working and building and 3 of the higher ups since they have better clothing, were telling them what to do. This somewhat got me mad. They killed our whole tribe just to build? What the fuck, they could have just asked if we could do some dealings instead of killing off a whole tribe. Ah, i¡¯ll just kill them anyways no point in getting angry. Zorn walked back to the forest and was testing his powers. He didn¡¯t really focus on his body since it was covered with clothing but when taking it off, he had some muscles but they weren¡¯t developed yet. He went to a huge rock larger than him and began a stance that helped give a full powered punch. The rock was like a fragile little vase. If Zorn didn¡¯t even use his whole power and just use a simple jab, it would be gone still. ¡°Hmm, so my strength has gotten really stronger¡± ¡°Lets check on my divine affinity to earth and fire¡± Zorn let out his palm and said ¡°Fire!¡± but had no effect and sighed ¡° Ah? No fire? Guess i¡¯m gonna have to ask the young lady but how?¡± I started thinking about about the lady and suddenly a voice. ¡°Yes, what do you need?¡± the voice suddenly talking made him jump a bit but realized it was the girl from the white room ¡°Ah yes, i need to know how to use my fire and earth powers¡±Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. ¡°Oh all you need to do is imagine how you want to use it and it¡¯ll show¡± she giggled ¡°Oh thanks and um i never asked but what is your name?¡± Zorn was curious and all ¡°My name is Cetri daughter of a Goddess stronger than anyone you¡¯ll know my mother¡¯s name soon enough¡± Her voice was gone and Zorn was happy he knew a daughter of goddess. Well now that he knows what to do he started training. 12 years later A Huge 7 meter figure with silver with a hint of black fur could be seen battling off against 12 large dragon scorpions. The 7 meter figure had muscles that is larger than a tree trunk, its legs had iron strong hooves, the body was all 100% muscle no fat at all, it¡¯s eyes contained a deep dark crimson red, and didn¡¯t even think these were even a challenge at all. It looked at the scorpions with boredness, it treated them even worse than a speck of dust. It was currently Zorn. ¡° Ha i¡¯ll use only 1 figure to woop all your asses¡± Zorn laughed. Zorn matured and became to be really strong, but is still young and hasn¡¯t even cultivated once! Many people would faint seeing how strong he is without using magic or cultivating none of the techniques the girl gave him. He is still in Soul Creating stage 1. Seeing this the girl actually got mad. She gave him 6 techniques but he didn¡¯t bother with them, so she called him to give him an earing. ¡° Hey Zorn you punk! When are you ever going to start cultivating!¡± she shouted ¡° Cultivating? What¡¯s that? Mooo!¡± Zorn laughed aloud (Note : LOL MOOO xD) ¡­ ¡°I would slap you in your face till you die but wasn¡¯t your goal to eradicate humans?¡± she questioned him, it seems he forgot. Remembering he tensed up. How could he forget about the humans that killed his whole tribe and mother? How? ¡° Hmph it seems you forgot, how could you forget your main goal!?!?!!¡± ¡° it seems your determination is not enough Zorn go discipline yourself by only attacking them with 1 finger¡± Zorn agreed and battled the scorpions with 1 finger he still killed them with ease but he didn¡¯t care. ¡°So where should i go Cetri?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­. ¡°Hmmm ah !¡± Cetri found a solution ¡°go to the elves and find a magic and cultivating academy there¡± ¡° They accept all kinds and don¡¯t love to kill nature since nature made them and nature made you too, with the help of me of course!¡± she proudly sad puffing her chest out Zorn laughed ¡°you sure did but, are you sure they¡¯re gonna accept me? A seven meter minotaur with bulging muscles Mooo¡± ¡° They may accept me but not the people i will probably have no friends and i¡¯m still 14!¡± Zorn cried He was 14 and didn¡¯t have a single friend he would be a so called loner. ¡°It¡¯s gonna be alright and who knows maybe there might be a girl who is interested in you!¡± Cetri fantasized ¡° Ha i bet you can¡¯t even talk to one¡­ pfft hahaha!!!¡± Cetri almost died of laughter While Zorn fantasized himself and blushed a bit Cetri saw it and said ¡° wow a 7 meter minotaur blushing, people would pay 1 million gold to see that!¡± ¡®Ok ok that¡¯s enough Cetri stop teasing me¡± Zorn was happy Cetri was by his side to help him he thought highly of her. Well off to the Elven territory! Chapter 3: Elven Territory Chapter 3 Elven Territory Zorn was sprinting as he was reaching the Elven territory at a fast pace the Elves lived 5000 miles away so it was going to take a long time FlashBack: Zorn was happy to go to a place filled with elves. He didn¡¯t see anything but beasts while training for 12 years. Zorn was walking happily until Cetri speaked up ¡°Why are you walking?¡± ¡°The Elven territory is 5000 miles away so start running slow poke!¡± Zorn stopped walking and frowned ¡° 5000 miles away? What the fuck, you didn¡¯t tell me that!¡± Zorn started sprinting and didn¡¯t stop until 4 hours ¡°How far are we now?¡± Zorn said while panting ¡°uuhhh 4500 miles left keep going !¡± .Flashback End: Zorn has been running for 1 week now and couldn¡¯t move his legs one more inch. ¡°*Pantt* are we there yet? *Pant*¡± Cetri replied ¡°were about 10 miles away it¡¯s close keep running¡± ¡°You wouldn¡¯t be so tired if you cultivated while training in the forest¡± ¡°I get it i know, i should¡¯ve cultivated¡± Zorn was annoyed because every time he stopped running to catch his breathe Cetri would tell him he wouldn¡¯t be so tired if he cultivated so he is currently irritated with her. ¡°Start running again Zorn no time to rest hurry up¡± Zorn got up and started running ¡­ Zorn kept running till he finally saw the elven walls. Walls for protecting should look tough, but the elves love design. Their walls had golden linings and pillars that directed toward the gate to have it look like someone has made a grand entrance. Zorn couldn¡¯t help but admire their work it sure was beautiful Zorn started walking towards the gates and finally saw an Elf ¡°Welcome to the kingdom of Saln what brings you here?¡± Zorn thought they would be scared of him but they weren¡¯t which made him happy. ¡°Oh, i¡¯m here to apply for a magic and martial arts academy, do you know any around?¡± Zorn asked ¡°Ah yes Goldfeather academy is mainly a magic institute but there are some martial art teachers there¡± ¡°its west from here just follow the path and you¡¯ll find it¡± ¡°Thanks¡± The Elf started to open the gates which led to a lot of elves around. Zorn quickly left to find the academy. ¡­ After Zorn left the guard broke a sweat ¡° He finally left, god such a huge beast, he better not ruin our reputation¡± the elf said As Zorn was walking towards the academy ¡° that elf was afraid of you¡± Cetri told him ¡° it seems the elves are quite scared of you¡± Zorn looked around and saw that all the elves were looking at him with scared eyes and disdain. One elf quietly whispered but Zorn could hear it ¡° what is that monstrous beast¡± ¡°it looks like an abomination, which guard let this filth in here?¡± Zorn was quite angry with those remarks but shrugged it off. ¡° These elves have been living in solitary for a long time so they must have thought no one can hurt them ¡° Cetri said ¡°What a bunch of pussies¡± Zorn almost did a loud moo when Cetri said that. ¡°since when did a daughter of a Goddess say that?¡± Zorn wanted to tease Cetri for payback but it backfired ¡° what are you talking about your¡¯e pussy too Zorn¡± ¡°what how?¡± ¡° you can¡¯t talk to a single girl you pussy¡± Zorn blushed ¡° W-well i didn¡¯t have time did i? ¡° Zorn said ¡°I had to train¡± ¡°Whatever just hurry up and get to the academy¡± Zorn was about to enter the academy when an elf said ¡°Halt Beast, you shall go no further!¡± the Elf swung a sword at his back but the sword broke ¡°Ah, sorry for breaking the sword but why did you stop me?¡± The elf backed up ¡°my name is Rolin Peacemaker this is an elf dormitory the beast is over there!¡± Cetri frowned ¡°Peacemaker is his last name? That attack wasn¡¯t so peaceful¡± Zorn replied ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it¡± ¡°So the beast dormitory is over there?¡± pointing south ¡°yes now go!¡± ¡°alright alright¡±This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. ¡°What the hell?¡± Zorn thought ¡°aren¡¯t they supposed to be friendly and hate violence that faggot just tried to kill me!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know either¡± ¡°Oh well just don¡¯t cause trouble and get to the beast dormitory¡± Zorn walked south and entered the dormitory and went to check where he will stay. There was a Lion lady with no special features to talk about she welcomed Zorn and said ¡° Hi welcome do you need a place to sleep while in the academy?¡± ¡°Yes i do¡± ¡°Alright, here this card gives you access to your room, you room number is 17 the academy will start in 20 minutes so go prepare and wear the academies uniform¡± ¡°um sure but do they have my size?¡± The lion laughed ¡°don¡¯t worry about it the uniform can stretch for as long as 500 feet, just touch it and it will fit to your body physique¡± Zorn was amazed ¡° a uniform stretching 500 feet that¡¯s pretty cool¡± 20 minutes past and Zorn was walking towards the academy with his uniform. Even though it was fitted to his size it still showed his bulging muscles which cause some people to take a glance especially the ladies which got Zorn blushing because of the girls staring at him Cetri as you know seen this ¡° Che, pussy¡± Zorn chose classes that only involved martial arts. He didn¡¯t need the magic because Cetri has a better understanding than any teacher in magic. The door opened it was Zorn everyone looked at him for about seconds then continued doing what they were originally doing. Zorn took a seat at the back and patiently waited for the teacher. The teacher arrived and said ¡°Hello my name is Drun Lorheart but you will call me Mr.Lor¡± ¡°I will teach you martial arts as you know and do my best to nurture you lot¡± ¡°There is also a new student here and I would like to introduce him¡± ¡°Stand up, you there at the back¡± Zorn stood up walked to the front of the class and said ¡° My name is Zorn, i¡¯m a minotaur, I stand at 7 meters in height and i¡¯m here to learn about martial arts¡± ¡°Very well you may sit now¡± Zorn went back to his seat and sat down. ¡°Ok introductions over let¡¯s continue class 2 Hours Later ¡°Ok let¡¯s go outside and cultivate¡± Everyone seemed okay except Zorn. he thought in his mind ¡°My god all this listening and writing down stuff is so boring!¡± Cetri replied back ¡° bear with it i never practice martial arts and don¡¯t even know how to use the techniques but the people who did were really strong that¡¯s why I kept the 6 cultivation techniques with me¡± ¡°Ok lets look at them¡±
  1. [Slaughtering God]
Using this cultivation method makes your strikes strong with the explosive power of an volcano and kicks faster than lightning. You will have mystic runes engraved to your body and the gods will never answer to your prayers 2) [Heavens Grave] Using this cultivation method will make the skies and gods grovel at your feet mixing your strikes with elements can make a formidable combo 3) [Demon Warlord] Becoming a mixed demon with your current race once you become powerful enough you can command millions of demons at ease. Your magic attacks become weaker but it makes your 4) [Devil¡¯s Wheel] This cultivation is based on luck. On a wheel there are 1-10. There are more lucky numbers than bad. 1-7 is good 8-10 bad. First spin the wheel and if you get a number from 1-7 in your mind you get a faster cultivation. 8-10 not only makes your cultivation slow you¡¯ll bump down from 1 stage if you get 10. 5) [???] ??? 6) [???] ??? ¡°the last 2 are unknown so i might as well give it to you¡± ¡°whats the point in giving me it if its unknown?¡± Cetri clicks her tongue ¡°because they both may be stronger than the rest, idiot¡± Chapter 4: Learning the Basics Chapter 4: Learning the Basics ¡°Ok so the both of them can be stronger than the rest¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you just identify it?¡± ¡°I mean like a daughter of a goddess like you should be able to identify what it is called am I right?¡± Zorn questioned. Zorn was curious why she couldn¡¯t know what they were called yet she was a daughter of a goddess. Cetri frowned ¡°Because i don¡¯t have a good enough level to identify them which is the reason why it can be stronger than the rest.¡± ¡°To identify it you¡¯ll need to go to the legendary forge of dwarfs¡± ¡°Dwarfs are masters of crafting and mining¡± Cetri explained ¡°They love to find new ores, craft weapons, and explore dungeons¡± ¡°The god that created dwarfs was called Aindur, the god of crafting¡± ¡°My mother was good friends with Aindur so i know him pretty well, we could either ask him to identify it, or the dwarfs¡± Zorn nodded ¡°alright, once we finish training martial arts in the academy we¡¯ll go straight to the dwarfs since we don¡¯t know where Aindur lives¡± Cetri laughed ¡°That¡¯s easy Aindur lives in a volcano¡± ¡°Volcano?¡± Zorn asked ¡°Why live in a volcano?¡± Cetri clicked her tongue ¡°To melt the ores that normal lava can¡¯t¡± ¡°The volcano he resides in have their lava stronger due to Aindur¡¯s divine aura and magic¡± ¡°The ores he has are simply legendary things that even a million souls cannot buy¡± Cetri said proudly. It was clear Cetri admired Aindur¡¯s work. ¡°Alright then we¡¯ll get a dwarf to identify the cultivation techniques while we can ask Aindur to create us something¡± Zorn smiled. Mr.Lor suddenly shouted at him ¡°Zorn hurry up!¡± ¡°Why are you taking so long?¡± The teacher was irritated having to wait for Zorn ¡°You¡¯re keeping the class from learning!¡± ¡°Ah sorry Mr.Lor¡± Zorn said nervously. Academy Martial Training Grounds: ¡°Alright find a place to sit and and get comfortable while I tell you the next instructions¡± Mr.Lor said. ¡°Alright let¡¯s see..¡± Zorn said while finding a spot to sit in. Zorn chose a spot 1 meter away from everyone. ¡°Alright i see you guys found a spot¡± Mr.Lor said. ¡°Now your next instructions are to meditate like how i taught you lot¡± ¡°To meditate, you must enter in a half-dead state and clear any thoughts or emotions and find your soul¡± Mr.Lor explained ¡°now that i told you again hurry up and meditate¡± Zorn closed his eyes and felt his soul after 3 seconds. ¡°An ordinary soul will be the color white while genius soul¡¯s often are red ¡± Zorn frowned ¡°then how come mine is golden?¡± Zorn¡¯s soul was a dazzling, bright, brilliant gold that could be shinier than a gold coin¡± ¡°What if your soul color is golden?¡± Zorn asked as he stopped meditating ¡°Golden symbolises a god-like power but no one from this mortal world has ever gotten a golden soul even legendary figures only had the soul color of red¡± Mr.Lor explained ¡°Why do you ask?¡± Mr.Lor questioned ¡°Ah i just heard of a golden soul so I guess it would be almost non-existent in our world¡± Zorn said nervously ¡°Ah, I see then¡± Zorn let off a bead of cold sweat ¡°If I was found with a golden soul, who know what they might do to me¡± Cetri intervened right after ¡°So you have a golden soul that¡¯s considered quite good in the god realm¡± ¡°your¡¯s is only probably as shiny as a golden coin right?¡± Cetri said ¡°Nah, mine is shinier¡± Zorn said puffing his chest out ¡°What!?!?!¡± Cetri exclaimed ¡°That¡¯s only what legendary gods and goddesses have!¡± Cetri felt envious towards him ¡°Hmph I have a silver soul only myself and my mom has a golden soul as shiny as a gold coin¡± Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°Then i¡¯ll be a legendary god as I ascend to the heavens!¡± Zorn said with determination. Saying that Zorn had 2 things to accomplish. 1, destroy the humans that killed off our tribe, 2, ascend to godhood. ¡°I¡¯ll begin meditating again¡± Zorn said 30 minutes later ¡°Alright you guys have gotten in touch with your souls so let¡¯s begin training your body so your body doesn¡¯t explode due to the explosiveness of attacks that martial arts have¡± Mr.Lor said ¡°Everyone except Zorn wear 10 pound leg weights on each leg, and arm bracers on each arm while Zorn will wear 100 pound weights¡± A rhino shouted ¡°How come we have to wear 10 pound weights!¡± ¡°I bet i can wear the same amount of weights the new kid has!¡± the rhino said proudly. Hearing this Mr.Lor sighed ¡°alright, go ahead if you want anyone else wants to wear 100 pound weights?¡± he questioned ¡­ ¡°Guess not, okay begin running around the school for 100 laps under 2 hours¡± Mr.Lor explained ¡°get going now!¡± Everyone wore the weights and began running. After 50 laps 10 beasts gave in while Zorn was not even breaking a sweat. If a tired out, legs aching beast saw this they would want to cheat and break his legs they could only question how can he run 50 laps with 100 pound weights on without breaking a sweat? The rhino that said he could wear 100 pound weights is so tired his eyes were bulging out and sweat came down profusely ¡°Damn why¡¯d i have to say i could wear 100 pound weights? Fuck!¡± the rhino cursed in his head. Meanwhile Zorn was thinking to himself ¡°Wow 10 people already gave in, this is not even exercise how can they be so tired?¡± he questioned himself. Cetri sighed ¡° You¡¯re a minotaur Zorn, you boast muscles and endurance that most beasts don¡¯t have idiot and you are stronger than a ordinary adult minotaur remember?¡± ¡°Ah right I forgot moooo¡± Zorn laughed. It¡¯s been only 1 hour and Zorn already finished. Mr.Lor was surprised he finished so quickly. Doing 100 laps with 100 pound weights can be tiring yet Zorn only broke 1 bead of sweat finishing 100 laps. ¡°I¡¯m surprised you finished already, oh well just wait till your other classmates are finished too especially that rhino¡± Mr.Lor said ¡°Alright Mr.Lor¡± Zorn said and sat down waiting for the others to finish. 5 people finished in 1 hour and 10 minutes, 15 in and hour and 30, and 1 rhino finishing in 2 hours exactly. Seeing the rhino finish last made Mr.Lor chuckle. Mr.Lor walked up to the rhino that was about to throw up and pass out ¡°Well are you still sure you can wear 100 pound weights running 100 laps?¡± ¡°No, sorry Mr.Lor for saying I could¡± The rhino said ashamed of himself. ¡°Ahem, well only Zorn has the body strength and endurance to handle the shock of using a powerful martial arts move, while the rest of you will have to keep running laps till you¡¯re half as good as Zorn¡±
