A Miserable World (Part One)

The noise startled Issui awake, but what he saw filled him with rage. His silver eyes widened and became bloodshot...

The scene before him was several large, wolf-like beasts chasing a group of men, women, and children dressed in extremely simple clothes. People who fell behind were being torn apart and eaten by the huge wolves. The violent and bloody scene was too much for Issui to bear.

"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!!!"

Issui booming voice filled the ears of everyone and the beasts. In an instant, he appeared in front of the giant wolf-shaped beast, Hand Seals, and opened his mouth to spew out a super flame with a range of more than 20 meters. The power was astonishing, and several wolf-shaped beasts were burned into roast meat.

The enormous explosion left everyone in awe.

The running crowd stopped in their tracks, staring in astonishment at the incredible scene before them. Issui, like a god of fire descending from the heavens, had saved the people and vanquished the monster. His over 1.6-meter-tall figure stood out prominently in front of everyone; no one was taller than him. Everyone embraced each other, crying and shouting, and knelt down before Issui, expressing their heartfelt gratitude.

Issui turned around and looked at this group of simply dressed people speaking a strange language and kowtowing to him repeatedly. What's going on? I can't understand what you're saying.

"Can you understand me?" Issui asked, speaking in Chinese, Japanese, and English.

Everyone shook their heads blankly, not understanding what Issui was talking about. At this moment, an old man stepped out from the crowd. Surprisingly, this old man, despite his advanced age, could run as fast as those young people. The old man walked up to Issui, bowed to him, and then took out a scroll made of the skin of some unknown animal from his pocket. He chanted a few unknown incantations at Issui and then tore open the leather scroll.

A miraculous thing happened: Issui discovered that he had suddenly learned and become proficient in a strange language.

"Greetings, powerful wizard, Bruton salutes you. Thank you for saving me and my villagers," the old man said respectfully.

"Wizards? Why are you being chased by these wild beasts?" Issui asked.

"A wild beast? That's the Demonic Wind Dire Wolf, a powerful third-tier magical beast. Don't you recognize it, sir?" the old man asked doubtfully, but his tone remained respectful.

"I'm not from here. When I saw you being chased by those so-called Demonic Wind Dire Wolf, I killed them in a fit of rage and saved you," Issui said.

"You're not from here, and you don't recognize the Demonic Wind Dire Wolf. Could you be a divine child from the Sacred Mountain Range? That's wonderful! Finally, a divine child from the Sacred Mountain Range has come out to save us suffering people!" The old man's eyes darted around, and he suddenly said excitedly.

"The Sacred Mountain Range?" Issui asked doubtfully.

"Legend has it that the mountains where the children of the gods resided, though the gods themselves have fallen, their offspring still live in seclusion. Once they gain great power, they will descend to earth to save the world. In ancient times, with the gods' protection, the monsters were not as rampant as they are now. However, the leader of the monsters set a trap for the gods, resulting in the assassination of most of them. The few remaining gods were powerless to Rotation, and the world gradually fell under the control of the monsters. Although humans developed the profession of wizards, who wield the power of nature, and managed to barely contend with the monsters, the number of wizards is too small to protect all ordinary people. Villages or towns without wizards can only await their demise, like my village." The old man said with a somber expression, clearly saddened by the deaths of some of his villagers.

"Oh, my ancestor was named Argust Filia. I wonder if you've heard of her?" Issui suddenly thought of Argust Filia, the creator of the Heaven Clan, who created the Eye of Heaven Kekkei Genkai and called herself Demon God.

"Ah, you... you are a descendant of Her Majesty Argusi Philia, the God of Radiance and Wisdom! How wonderful! No wonder I felt you resembled Her Majesty Argusi Philia! How wonderful! Argusi Philia was a powerful and benevolent goddess; you must have inherited her legacy! How wonderful! Humanity has hope!" The old man cried and shouted with joy, repeatedly yelling at the sky.

Those behind the old man, upon hearing the words "Her Majesty Argus Philia" in his speech, also embraced each other, tears of joy streaming down their faces.

"Alright, old man, I'm not very familiar with this place. Let's find a place to rest first, and then I'll learn more about this world. After all, if we stay in the wild and a powerful magical beast appears, I won't have the strength to protect you." Issui said to the old man named Bruton.

"Yes, Your Highness, the nearest city is called Blue Mountain City, which is also our destination. If Your Highness were here, everyone would be delighted, and important figures from the three kingdoms would come to pay their respects," the old man said.

"The three kingdoms... never mind, I'll learn about that after we get to the city. Let's go first, old man, lead the way." Issui said helplessly. He knew absolutely nothing about this world. He had come to this world through a teleportation array and inexplicably become some kind of god. It was a joke, but judging from the old man's appearance, it didn't seem like he was talking nonsense.

The old man and a group of villagers surrounded Issui like stars around the moon, supporting him as they walked forward.

The group walked for most of the day and finally saw a city wall about ten zhang high made of black stone just before dark. There were several human soldiers wearing black plate armor on the city wall.

"We've arrived. This is Blue Mountain City, the largest city in the vicinity and one of the nine most powerful main cities of the Radiance Kingdom. No magical beast above level seven can conquer it. There are five powerful sixth-tier wizards in the city. Even level seven magical beasts dare not attack them when they join forces." Bruton said proudly, clearly having a high opinion of Blue Mountain City.

"Who goes there?" A soldier on the city wall looked sternly at the simple villagers below. Were they more people who had lost their homes due to the invasion of monsters? There had been quite a few refugees fleeing to Blue Stone City recently.

"We are villagers from Yellow Earth Mountain Village, and I am their village chief. We were originally destined to be hunted down by the Demonic Wind Dire Wolf, but the divine child of Argust Philia suddenly appeared before us and rescued us from the clutches of the monsters. Please open the city gates and let the divine child and us enter the city." The old man respectfully invited Issui out and said to the soldier.

"What? This divine child? You're not joking, are you? This world hasn't seen a god and his offspring for hundreds of years. You're not trying to trick us into entering the city, are you? If the city lord finds out, he'll kill you, you old liar!" The soldier laughed loudly, clearly not believing him.

Bruton frowned, then said to Issui, "Your Highness, please demonstrate your power, otherwise they will continue to disrespect your majesty."

Issui nodded. If he didn't demonstrate his power, it would be difficult to accomplish anything in this world. Issui decided to leave everyone with a lasting impression, and then said to Bruton, "Step back, or the power I'm about to unleash will harm you."

Bruton and the others excitedly stepped back; the divine child was about to display his immense power.

After Issui Bruton and the others retreat into the distance, Yishui began Hand Seals and shouted, "Ah! The Flame Demon Descent!!"

Numerous black flames appeared on Issui's body, gradually forming a gigantic Flame Demon God over fifty meters tall, more than ten meters taller than the walls of Blue Stone City. The Flame Demon God roared, and his voice echoed throughout the sky. Because Issui elite Jonin to Kage Level ninja, the height of the Flame Demon Descent had increased to over fifty meters.

"Look, look! This is the power of Her Majesty Argus Philia, the divine child! What immense power! Excellent! With such power, we need not fear those magical beasts. Humanity has hope!" Bruton's aged voice boomed, belying his white hair.

"Who is this powerful tenth-tier wizard, Your Mark Yis his respects." A figure dressed in a gray robe and carrying a staff as tall as a person appeared on the city wall and addressed the fire giant respectfully.

"So it is the Legendary wizard Yis Majesty Is Mark, and this is the divine son of His Majesty Argus Philia. He suddenly appeared and saved us from the monsters. It was the soldiers who did not believe me, so His Majesty the divine son showed his power." Bruton immediately stepped forward and respectfully said to Yis.

"My ancestor is indeed Argustelle Philia. This is my first time in your world. I need to learn about this world, which is why I came to the nearest city. May I enter?" Issui said, looking at the person named Yis. Judging from the power he possessed, he had barely reached the level of Kage Level ninja, but he was still a little far from being Kage Level ninja. He could be considered a Quasi-Kage Level ninja, with power similar to Kakashi's.

Is looked at Issui Yis excitement and said respectfully, "So you are the divine son of Her Majesty Argust Felia. Please withdraw your divine spells and follow me into the city."

With Issui, the Flame Demon Descent vanished, and a Body Flicker Technique brought him before Yis, saying, "Let's go."

"Indeed, it bears a striking resemblance to the statue of Argus Philia. Divine Child, please follow me." Yis said respectfully, after carefully examining Issui.

"Yes, and also, let the villagers from down below the city come in and settle them in; they're the ones who brought me here," Issui reminded them.

"Oh, look at me, soldier, quickly open the city gates and let those villagers in," Yis ordered the soldier beside him, then looked at Issui.

"Alright, now take me somewhere to rest. I need to learn about this world." Issui nodded.

Is Issui Yis down the city wall and headed towards a huge mansion in the very center of the city.

Upon arriving at the mansion, Yis said a few words to the soldiers at the gate before leading Issui inside.

Finally, they stopped in a hall that was clearly a reception room. Is invited Yis to sit in the Issui seat at the very top, while he stood to the side and said, "Where would the Divine Child like to begin?"
