 chapter 1

    kongs consciousness gradually awakened


    i struggle to open my eyes but to no avail i wonder if death was just toying with me have i really not been brought back to life is this really all there is in hell? no feeling of any sort no anything psh i could make a better hell...


    3 days pass


    huh whats this why is the darkness slowly fading what the hell is happening i see a fresh farmland with a river near-bye. i wonder what is happening then i remember what death said about the stones i wonder there powers but more so where the hell are they?


    i search my pockets i feel the two stones but an extra piece of paper along with it but i disregard the paper for now and take out the stones


    on top of the stone it says [Gravity]


    the second stone says [elemental]


    hmm so that is all? so vague i kinda understand gravity well lets first read that paper


    [hehe Death here i wanted to knock u out for a couple of extra days because i wasn''t allowed to torture you it really brought tears to my eyes well whatever i now gotta explain the rocks, also when you choose one the other will disappear alright so lets begin [gravity] has the power to control gravity you dimwit, [elemental] is the power to control elements hehe helpful aren''t I well thats all i gotta explain just remember crush one.]


    well death sure is helpful well whatever ill decide later on what to choose


    " HEY YOU"


    i hear someone shouting so i turn and see a girl about 10 years old running up to me


    Kong -"umm yes"


    i think i should hide these stones so she doesn''t notice


    Girl - "what are you doing on my papas field don''t make me" the girl pouts


    The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.Kong -i think its best i lie to her "umm i just napped here don''t need to bother yourself and i have seem to lost my memory...."


    Girl- mouth agape "oh u lost your memory oh my god are you ok i should take you to see papa" she says with a look of determination


    kong -hmm i think i should just follow her well i wanna use a stone first before hand "ok one second i have to go pee"


    girl -"alright hurry up and by the way my name is kuiron"


    Kong - "well thank you kuiron for helping me just one second"


    i turn around i go through my thoughts psh who cares about elements, gravity sounds pretty kick ass i will just choose that one reach into my pocket and pull out the gravity stone and i crush it.


    i feel my pocket lessen as my head is bombarded with facts


    Death -"death here again hoho now i gotta explain, your power only starts at its infancy when you first crush the rock there are 10 stages of your power just like everyone else in this world the stages are all called control so your at 1% control the starting point this increase the more you activate and use your power but of course it consumes stamina as a price the stages of control are 10%, 20%,30%,40%,50%,60%,70%,80%,90% and 100% its not that hard of a concept to understand and the last two things i gotta explain to you is the people of this world get there powers from magic stones but they still have to go through all the same stages of control these stones were created from the gods getting bored. people here have these powers but not everybody only the lucky ones that find these powers can truly be strong remember what i said boy about strength."
