The house was silent. Morning light seeped softly into the living room. Little Nola was playing in the middle of the room, tossing and catching her ball. Arthur watched them quietly, but an odd unease stirred within him. His memory was sealed, and the power inside him was waiting to awaken.
Suddenly, he felt a vibration deep within his mind. The seals on his memory began to crack slowly. At first, it came like a faint echo; then it spread in waves. Arthur brought his hands to his head and squeezed his eyes shut.
"What… is this feeling…?" he whispered to himself.
At that moment, a light exploded in his mind, breaking all the seals. His memory was returning; all the forgotten memories, feelings, and abilities of years past clicked into place at once. His memories with God came alive again.
"In the void… God… granted me my wishes… Five wishes… the first, The Author's POV world… the second, no limit to my power… the third, entering the world as Ren's brother… and my spear art… the fourth and fifth wishes… yes, all of them happened. Now everything… is real."
Arthur's eyes glimmered slightly. His hands and entire body trembled; the atmosphere in the room thickened. Nola was still unaware of anything.
Suddenly, his body reacted. With his memory unsealed, his hidden power began to flow naturally. It was as if a call from within was pulling him toward the forest. Arthur left the living room behind and suddenly found himself deep in the forest. The wind tossed his hair, each of his steps vibrating the air around him, small sparks of electricity scattering in all directions.
He stopped amidst the silence of the forest and took a deep breath. His memory was now fully open; all the skills and powers that had been sealed for years shone brightly in his mind. He felt the spear in his hands and sensed the first sparks of Hōkō no Sen – Buzzing Tip.
God's voice echoed in his mind again:"Now you are ready… your power will guide you. But be careful, the responsibility of everything rests with you."
At that moment, the power inside him exploded. His body and mind became one; every movement, every breath harmonized with the natural flow of mana. His eyes shone, and electricity sparks filled the air around him. He was no longer just a human; he was a being chosen through divine intervention.
Arthur took a deep breath, lightly twirled his spear, and began testing his power for the first time in a controlled manner. In the quiet of the forest, the lightning essence danced at the spear's tip, creating small bursts.
Nola was still playing with her ball, oblivious; Arthur's disappearance was merely emptiness in her eyes.
(...)
Deep in the forest, a black-haired, blue-eyed individual stood in meditation, trying to calibrate his body's power. Unlike Ren, he remembered his family in this world. He was now a being whose power had just reached SS+ level. His spear art had unlocked the first four stages, with the rest still sealed.
"Most likely, God didn't want everything to come easily into my hands. I was just being lazy," he thought.
It was time to test a little of his power. He took in his hand the storage ring he had carried at home, a gift from his father Ronald when he was a child. This ring was a hoop his father had dropped from a dungeon. When he looked inside, he saw a black card aside from the spear. This card contained his last wish: 200 billion U. This pleased him greatly.
At least in this life, he wouldn't have to worry about money. He now held the spear he always used.
Arthur's heart pounded as if it would burst from his chest. He raised the spear, closed his eyes, and activated the lightning essence within.
Suddenly, he felt energy boiling in his veins, as if a storm descending from the sky had been trapped inside him.
— "Hōkō no Sen… Buzzing Tip!"
He thrust the spear forward.BOOOOM!!!
A roar like the sky itself erupted. The lightning radiating from the spear's tip struck the tree ahead, shattering its bark and turning it to charcoal. But the power didn't stop there; the electrical wave spread like a chain, toppling two more trees behind it.
The massive trunks crashed to the ground with a loud noise. Leaves burned and scattered into the air, filling the forest with the smell of ozone and scorched wood.
Arthur was breathless. Sparks flew from his hands, his muscles trembling uncontrollably. Yet a smile mixed with surprise appeared on his face.
— "This… this is only the first stage… If I don't control it…"
He lifted his head and looked at the darkening sky.
— "Was this… power really entrusted to me?"
At that moment, it was felt that not just a man, but a god who would shake future battlefields was being born in the forest.
He decided he had to stay here. The power of an SS+ level individual could truly be destructive. Even in his first art, he had restrained himself enough. Suddenly, he remembered leaving Nola alone at home. Inevitably, he imagined his mother's face, and sweat began forming on his face.
He started running toward home at nearly twice the speed he had used to reach the forest.
