Alex moves swiftly, his hand morphing into diamond as he strikes the man's face, which suddenly hardens into iron.

"Let's see which is tougher, diamond or iron," Alex laughs, landing several more blows until the iron man staggers under the relentless assault.

Each time the man tries to attack, Alex seems to anticipate his moves, effortlessly countering each one. Within minutes, the iron man lies unconscious on the floor, reverting to his human form.

"He’s one of our bodyguards," Sophia recognizes the man, her voice a mix of surprise and concern.

"Seems like you need to rearrange everything," Alex says, his tone matter-of-fact.

"Can you handle it?" Sophia asks, her eyes searching his for certainty.

"I only need your permission," he replies confidently.

"Then do it," she nods decisively. "You have my full permission. I don’t care what you have to do, just get as much as you can from James's control."

"Are you really trusting this idiot who cannot read?" Christina interjects, disbelief e

    Sophia sits in her room feeling gloomy, wondering if she just made the biggest mistake of her life by marrying her bodyguard to get away from the Wellington family.Her family is attacking her heartlessly.“Please tell me, how can we live without Wellington's support?” her aunt yells at her.“The whole world is looking for protection in this apocalyptic world, but you just cut off our last protection,” her uncle mocks. “For this idiot bodyguard?”If none of them are supporting her, at least they should give her privacy. Why does everyone keep using her as a sacrifice for their safety?“Do you want me to deal with them for you?” Alex asks, sitting beside her.“Do you have a way to do it?”“Sure, I have.”“You do?” Sophia asks in disbelief.“Let me talk to them, and I will finish your problem in a minute. I promise none of them will bother you ever again.”Sophia stands up, unsure how Alex will do it, but she knows she will definitely go crazy if this keeps happening.“Well, they have t

    On the night, Sophia is sitting on the balcony, the cool breeze gently rustling her hair. Alex stands beside her, his presence comforting yet distant."Alex, I never knew you were so smart. Where did you learn that?" she asks, her voice curious."When I was small, in the orphanage, the team leader was always the strongest. Whoever didn't listen to him would get beaten until they did. So, I learned from him," Alex replies, his eyes reflecting the distant memories.Sophia laughs for a moment, the sound light and airy, but then her face becomes serious. "Alex, do you understand that you are working as a bodyguard for me?""Yes, Sophia.""What will happen when I fire you from being my bodyguard?"Alex looks up at the stars, a hint of sadness in his eyes. "I will sign the divorce papers.""Do you understand that?" Sophia asked, a bit shocked. She always thought that Alex was an idiot; it would be hard to convince him later."Yes," Alex answered, his voice steady. "As a bodyguard, sometimes

    A few days later, when Alex enters the men's restroom to relieve himself, a woman suddenly follows him in.“Hello, Alex?”“Miss, I think you entered the wrong restroom.”“No, I haven’t,” she responds, walking towards Alex and suddenly hugging him, trying to kiss him.“What are you trying to do?” Alex exclaims.The woman smiles while starting to remove her clothes, saying, “This…”She then runs out of the restroom, screaming, “Help me, help me, Alex is trying to rape me!”About four men suddenly rush in, pointing their fingers at Alex. “You, what the fuck are you doing! Raping a girl in broad daylight!”The woman hides behind them, her voice trembling. “Guys, please help me. He tried to rape me.”Alex feels a sinking realization that he is being falsely accused, with no way to defend himself. He knows rejection is useless now.He is brought to the disciplinary hall.“Alex, you tried to rape this girl, Henrietta. We will let the police handle this, but your acceptance to the academy is

He collapses with a cry of pain, clutching his wounded limb.Alex grabs the large man and throws him effortlessly into a nearby tree. “Useless garbage,” he mutters, moving to stand by Sophia's side.“You really are powerful, Alex,” she praises, her eyes reflecting admiration.“No, I’m not. They’re just too weak,” he replies with a dismissive shrug.As they walk into the hall, Alex spots Professor Gill, the discipline leader. Anger flashes in his eyes as he strides forward.“Professor Gill!” Alex yells, his voice echoing through the hall. “You know in your heart I’m not making a mistake he

    "Alex, how can you do this?" Sophia asks, her voice trembling with disbelief.Alex smiles stupidly and points to the customer service number on the can of beast meat. "You see for yourself, it's clearly written on this can. If you have a problem, just call the number."Robert tries to understand what just happened, making his best assumption. "I heard all of Eden Country is integrated under Sariel. Maybe Alex is right; the customer service might be linked to all citizen needs.""Are you sure Eden Country will help us?" Sophia asks again, her eyes wide with worry.Suddenly, an orb flies through the window, startling everyone in the study room."Greetings, everyone. I am Sariel, from Eden Country. You can consider me a representative here to help you resolve your issue."The orb hovers in the air, capturing everyone's attention."Sariel, are you sure Eden will help us, the Everheart?" Sophia repeats, her voice tinged with desperation."Yes, we in Eden Country will help you. However, lik

    Alex sits in his dimly lit room, talking with Sariel."Sariel, what plan do you think is the best to conquer the US without killing many innocent people?" he asks, his brow furrowed in frustration.He knew that even in the past, when beasts were killing humans, the number of humans killing other humans was still much higher."I have given you about twenty best plans, and you have analyzed each of them," Ariel responds calmly."Yeah," Alex sighs. "How can you reach the conclusion that not killing Wellington is the best option?" Alex protests, pacing back and forth."Don't you think by killing the Wellington family, we will control the US quicker?""Sir, right now, all US power is under Wellington's hand. If we can subdue Wellington, then we can conquer the whole US. But if we kill Wellington, about a thousand new leaders may just appear, and we would have to deal with each of them. It will cause more victims.""So, winning over the Wellington family in the open is the right choice to t

    I was a bit surprised. "Isn't down there a place where the dead rest, and there is nothing but cold and barren land?" "At first, it was a place full of beauty, but those who did not like it destroyed everything in it, making it cold and barren. I hope you can help those suffering down there find kindness and peace. In truth, you can build a place far more beautiful than the palace of the gods because hell was initially a very beautiful place for those in need." "I accept it wherever You send me." *** In a temple where knowledge was usually shared, several humans who were teachers of various schools gathered to discuss important matters about knowledge. "Hey," said one human to another, "Why did the gods stop sharing their knowledge with us?" "Haven't you heard that the King of the gods, or God Indra, has been replaced?" "Really?" "God Indra is now angry after finding out that knowledge was given to humans by the previous Indra," said another human. "He stopped all knowledge fro

    After 1,000 years had passed, the three worlds experienced their golden age. There was no poverty or hunger throughout the three worlds. Everything was going very well. All dimensions entered a golden age because kindness became the most important thing in the three realms. Humans, gods, ashuras, and all beings were directed to continue giving kindness to all creatures. During my reign, everyone competed to do good so that there was no poverty, hunger, or lack. During that time, those who came to me, whether gods, ashuras, or humans, would get what they asked for. I did this as my way of doing good to all beings.One day, a dwarf-bodied brahmin came to my palace. The brahmin, called Vamana, had a body that was only waist-high to an ordinary human. He wore white clothes that wrapped loosely around his small body. However, considering that he was a human and came from the third dimension, being able to ascend to the twelfth dimension where the gods' palace was located was alr

    "I don't remember that part," I said. "Because each life makes you forget. I just want to say, if you give the gods' knowledge to humans, won't the gods lose their power? Haven't you humiliated them all? Your strength has made you not understand the feelings of the weaker gods." "Guru, if what you say is true, is my current strength because I was a strong spirit in the past?" He looked at me and weakly shook his head. "No, all spirits start from the same place." "Then why did I become strong?" "You had no fear, and your enjoyment of playing made you keep striving for something greater without caring for your own life." Brihaspati continued, "However, what placed you as King Indra is something else." "What is that?" "A sense of responsibility to protect the weak and make life better for all beings." Brihaspati sighed. "Those who have that sincerity will always be carried by karma and the will of God to re

    "Boss, you've become weak," said Raindo, one of the Ashura generals, approaching me. He looked enormous compared to my now smaller form. "You keep spending time in that school and library. You never fight anymore. You're going to become weak, and the previous Indra will soon return to reclaim his throne." "You just don't understand, my brother," I said, still reading a book. "Right now, I am ten times stronger than I was before." "I don't believe it," said Raindo, one of the strongest generals. "Let's test it." "Of course," I said, seemingly unconcerned. "Get ready." "I'm always ready," he replied. As soon as he said that, a bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, striking his body. He was thrown far, crashing into the palace walls and severely injured. "What happened?" he asked, looking confused and trying to stand up. He didn't know what had hit him. "I just attacked you. I gained the power

    “Oh,” I shouted. “That's easy.” Suddenly, I felt very smart. “I have plenty of wealth in the treasury.” Quickly, I ordered several Ashura to bring as much treasure as possible from Indra's vault and distribute it to all the Ashura. All the Ashura were happy. “Look, Guru, haven't I done a good deed? I shared my wealth with them.” I felt pleased. “Fool!” he shouted. “You haven't done a good deed at all. You should have given the wealth to those in need.” I fell silent. Quickly, I ordered all the Ashura to return the treasures they had received. The Ashura didn't need wealth; if there was one thing they needed, it was weapons. They all grumbled, and I quickly asked, “Do you want food and drink or wealth?” “Food!!!!” “Drink!!” None wanted wealth. Suddenly, it dawned on me. Who needs wealth? The Ashura don't need wealth, the gods already have plenty of wealth. The only poor creatures needing wealth are humans

    “Prepare all the food and drinks. All the gods must order their servants to bring all the food from their palaces. Call the apsaras, the heavenly maidens, and beautiful dancers. Call the singers and musicians. We will have a party.” So, a grand feast was held for days in the courtyard of Indra's palace. Music, dancing, and food never stopped. After that, the Ashura were left drunk in the palace courtyard. The gods had returned to their respective duties. I moved around to see the entire palace, and suddenly, an old man appeared before me. “What have you done to this place?” the old man asked, looking at the palace's new weapon-laden decor. “Who are you?” I asked, confused. This old man wore the simple clothes of a Brahmana, a single piece of cloth. The Brahmana do not fight, so we never touch them. If they get angry, we could get the worst curses of our lives. But if they are pleased, they could grant us many new and exciting powers. We prefer to appease them and wait for the

    “Bargu,” I called one of my generals.He immediately looked at me with an extremely distressed face. “Don't choose me, king.”“Randu?”A small giant appeared and shook his head. “Don't torture me, king. We want to have fun. We won this battle.”None of them wanted to accept the position.“The position of God Vayu is an honorable one!” God Vayu shouted at them all. “Full of dedication, responsibility, serving many people, following the harmony of nature... blah... blah... blah...” He lectured for another half hour, ending again by saying to me, “Give this position to an honorable person! Not to someone who is half-hearted and does not understand the importance of this role.”I scratched my head. We Ashura only understood honor through battle. We also didn't want to be burdened by many rules and duties. We just wanted to have fun.I looked again at the ugly faces of the Ashura, fearing I might force them to take on the role.“Alright, God Vayu. No one wants your position. Stay in your p

    I walked through the vast and majestic courtyard of God Indra's palace. Not a shadow in sight.Stepping onto the stone steps, I entered his palace and kept shouting his name.“INDRA! Show your cowardly face!”Inside his palace, I saw lotus ponds lining the path to the inner parts of the palace.“INDRA, THE COWARD! Are you hiding in your mother's embrace? Are you crying? Your subordinate gods are being tortured. They're screaming for their king, where are you hiding, coward?” I shouted as loudly as possible.Who doesn't know that Indra is famous for his cowardice and cunning? Every time he lost a battle against the Ashura, he would run into his mother's embrace. Aditi, the mother of the gods, and cry, persuading her to find a way to put him back on the throne. This has happened repeatedly.I smelled the scent of lotus and other fragrances in Indra's palace. “Ptooey... INDRA! Are you wearing women's clothes? Your palace smells like a woman! Show your face if you're a man.”I shouted for

    We Ashura people generally only wear pants. Always bare-chested, and if we wear anything, it must be armor for war. Not clothes like those worn by women. Beautiful, neat, and shining.“Ptooey!” I spat.Both camps flew closer with terrifying speed. Weapons were directed at each other. Just seconds before both sides would collide, yet neither slowed down. Each kept increasing their flying speed and strengthening their weapons in hand.A war general from the gods' camp shot ahead of the other gods towards me. Perhaps the god of war, Ares.“Die!” he shouted.“Good!” I said, smiling broadly. I shot to the front, and we faced each other at high speed.As we met, he thrust a shining spear at me like lightning trying to pierce my chest. I dodged quickly, and my large fist struck the front of his body protected by a metal shield. My full strength flowed, and the blow landed with a horrifying sound. Combined with my initial flying speed, God Ares was instantly thrown to the edge of the earth li
