World System Among Gods novel Chapter 3

Outside the cave, precisely in front of the mouth of the cave. There were three youths from Avalon City, a small town located only 20 km from Ares's shelter. The three young men were sitting while treating every wound they suffered.

The three youths immediately took a conservative attitude when they felt movement from the direction of the cave. The three of them can be said to be in the ranks of the ten strongest people in Avalon City. But right now, they are injured after blocking the thousands of goblins trying to invade the City.

Seeing a young man in shabby clothes coming out of the cave, they let down their guard but remained cautious. Even though the youths that appear are only level 20, equivalent to a novice fighter, they remain vigilant and do not underestimate the children they encounter.

Ares, who just came out, sees three youths in front of the mouth of the cave. The three young men are injured, but their injuries are not too serious. With just one look, he knows that the three youths in front of him are much stronger than him.

With the appraisal skill, Ares knows each individual’s level. The two are level 375, and the strongest among them is level 412. They are on par with expert fighters.

“Hey, little boy, what are you doing in this place? This place is dangerous for a beginner like you,” said one of the youths and approached him.

"Sorry, gentlemen, this cave is where I live, and I have lived in this cave for a long time. A place that is dangerous for you, for me, this place is very comfortable to live in." hearing Ares’ answer, the three of them immediately feel strange.

Around the cave, there are only ordinary animals, but there may be beasts or monsters that come into the shelter. At the age of 17, Ares is still considering a child. Only when he is 25 years old will he be a young man.

At the age of 17 and still at level 20. The three youths judge that Ares is not very talented. For a gifted child, at the same period, they will at least be level 60 and above or the equivalent of a junior fighter. One of the youths looks around the cave but doesn’t find anyone.

“Do you live alone around here?”

“Five years ago, my parents left me in this forest, and since then, it is in this cave that I have lived in.” Ares forces his words to lie because he doesn’t want these young men to know his true identity as a Prince.

The three youths looked at each other, and after that, one looked at Ares. Just go north; in the fund is the city called Avalon. Sorry, the three of us can't take you because we are still on duty." Without waiting for an answer, the three young men walk away from him.

"There's no point in carrying trash; he'll just get in the way," said one of the youths after darting away. His two companions just nodded, confirming what he said.

"With the look in your eyes, you look down on me, but remember, soon it will be my turn to look down on you." without them realizing it, Ares can see if they are looking down on him. For a soldier, noticing people's behavior from the look in their eyes was normal.

After being left behind by three young men who ruined his morning program, Ares returns to prepare to hunt. Today he won’t be hunting goblins anymore; he will be hunting for more powerful prey because he needs more experience.

"Four silver wolves, each of them is level 20. I should have gained more experience than killing a level 5 goblin. I'll test my new skill." from the top of a tall tree, Ares saw four silver wolves eating their prey.

"My mana is over two hundred. At least I'll use 40 mana to create four fireballs." he starts to concentrate and creates four fireballs using 40 mana.

Unbeknownst to the silver wolf, four fireballs the size of a car wheel were created and ready to scorch them. "If they die with this, I feel I will become strong in such a short time."

“Fireballs,” shouted him as four fireballs shot toward the four silver wolves.

"BOOM... BOOM... BOOM… BOOM..." four explosions were heard as the fireballs hit their targets.

The four silver wolves instantly died without even having a chance to scream. Their bodies were charred without a trace.

"Now I'm level 21. Every time I level up, I'll get 3,000 coins and 10 points. But then again, I need more and more experience to level up." Ares said.

"I have to be diligent in hunting if I want to get strong quickly." again, he walks through the forest to hunt.

In an hour of hunting, Ares has already killed hundreds of goblins he accidentally encountered. Out of the hundreds of ordinary goblins, dozens of goblin soldiers and several goblin warriors lead them. After hundreds of normal goblins died, it was now the turn of the goblin soldiers that he faced.

"In a little while, I'll be level 30, but they have 20 goblin soldiers at level 35, and there are still five goblin warriors whose level is over 40."

Ares thought for a moment. “After leveling up, my condition recovered to its original state, and my mana count is now over three hundred.

"Their level doesn't matter because I have the equipment and skills that support my strength, and after all, goblins are still goblins even if they are a little smarter."

Five goblin soldiers attack Ares simultaneously. The goblin soldier's swords are still blunt, and their equipment is inferior. Not wanting to waste time, Ares encounters the goblins' attacks. It only takes a simple move, and he managed to slash the heads of the five goblin soldiers that attacked him.

“They’re weak,” Ares muttered as he lunged at the other goblin soldier.

In less than five minutes, 20 goblin soldiers died in his hands, and he gained quite a lot of experience. Now the remaining five goblin warriors are more robust and intelligent than the goblin soldiers.

Frightened, the five goblin warriors tried to run, but Ares certainly didn’t have a plan to let them go.

"You can’t run away because you are the source of my previous experience."

Ares swiftly attacks the five goblin warriors mercilessly. In less than a minute, he managed to slay five goblin warriors, and now he rests while looking at his status table.
