Master of Myths

"You insects should know your place! How dare you stand before my great self, Kneel!"

A crowned giant man with skin as white as snow declared to the hundred man group before him

"Che, another narcissist loudmouth"

"These guys are all talk, I bet he is going to be kneeling in a minute all astonished and unbelieving that us "insects" beat him"

Two men talked among each other loud enough for everyone to hear, their composed faces lacking any fear toward the giant being

"Insolent fools! I shall Bestow upon you agony beyond belief"

The raging giant held up a great sword half his size and rushed toward the duo, his speed wasn't hindered by his size whatsoever as he appeared in front of them within the blink of an eye

Before he could even swing his hill like sword he felt his skin crawling, taking a step back hurriedly, barely avoiding a dragon made of blood-red flames

"Who dares!"

He looked ahead to see a young man with flaming red hair, his face was the optimum of handsomeness, sharp features, a confidant look, and fearless eyes

"Do not underestimate this guy, he is the strongest foe we have ever faced, use everything you got without holding back"

"Well~ after leader says so much guess I'll have to put in a little bit of effort"

"Heh, I'm not sure if you will get the chance to attack"

The party members bickered after the man spoke

"You shall pay for your blasphemies!"

The giant rushed at the group again while a white haze started to swirl around him, in response every member started to take action as well

'Fools! They missed seventeen sneak attacks that could have really given that giant a run for his money'

Unknown to any of the fight's participants someone was spectating the fight from afar, criticizing them as he did

'Well thanks to their show off nature I could get all the way around without any hassle'

He pleasantly thought as he made his way toward the other end of the large throne room, opposite to the entrance the group came from

His footsteps hasten the closer he got to the throne, his eyes fixed on the crystal shining brilliantly as it floated above the throne's armrest

Once he got close enough to the throne he jumped up and landed on the huge armrest, standing in front of the crystal

'Finally! After all those years of sneaking around like a rat, my efforts are finally paying off'

His eyes couldn't help but lose focus as he recalled the suffering he had to go through to get to this point

'No, why am I dallying? If I wait any longer something unexpected might happen, and with those lucky bastards luck it would go in their favor'

He hastily snapped out of his trance and lifted his hand, holding it above the fist-sized crystal

'Oh Crystal of Fate, Grant me your unending power, Fulfill my sincere desire. Take me back to where it all began!'

He clenched his hand crushing the crystal after stating his wish

Lights enveloped his now visible body, seeping into it, turning him translucent within half a second

'Finally, its the end of this long journey, and the beginning o-'

His thoughts halted when he lifted his eyes seeing a flaming arrow right in front of his dilated pupils, about to pierce through his head

Time seemed to come to halt as he gazed at the rushing giant and angry party with his other eye, the giants seething face, the red head's apathetic look, and the others extreme reactions, the last painful reminder of his value before he left this hell

'Goodbye'

He thought before blacking out, his body disappearing into light
