A thousand years ago, the gods invaded the human realm and waged war against humans. During the war , many strong humans fell and  humans suffered heavy casualties. The gods were above humans in every way . So, what would they gain from battling with the humans? Actually,the gods plundered the human realms in pursuit of immortality. Why would the gods pursue immortality ?. To humans , the gods are immortal . But the gods can only live for some thousands of years. After discovering that the Verion crystals in the human realms could prolong their lives, a full scale war was launched upon the humans . But the war didn't last for a long time as Lord Rhinus (One of the guardians of the gods' realm ) intervened. He was strong enough to drive away the invading gods but was seriously wounded. Then , he sealed off the bridge between the humans and the gods' realms. As a result, the war ended but humans suffered great damage.

     They lost most of their powerful martial practitioners and barely avoided extinction. Lord Rhinus was branded a traitor for helping the humans and couldn't return to the gods realm . He chose to stay in the human realm and planned ahead for the inevitable future. 

    It took Lord Rhinus a thousand years to recover from his injuries. Though he's not fully healed, he's still in good shape. Martial practitioners' realms are divided into Beginner Martial Realm , Advanced Martial Realm , Martial Master Realm, Martial Lord Realm, Martial King realm, Martial Emperor which is very rare and Demi-god realm. There's also the Martial god realm which is said to be unattainable for humans. The higher the martial realm of a practitioner, the stronger he or she will be. There were a handful of Martial Emperor and  Demi-god realm practitioners in the human realms but they were all killed during the war against the gods. Each martial realm comprises the initial stage, mid stage and final stage. Humans were naturally born with no martial realm but they could train to attain it. Some chose to live normal lives because they lack talent while some pursue the path of martial arts. Martial practitioners have the advantage of living much longer than ordinary humans.

       Vion continent was one of the two continents in the human realm consisting of Caddock , Mavinus and Orvand Empire as its top three and strongest Empires. Each of the three Empires has a Martial Emperor as her guardian. With a Martial Emperor practitioner in each of the three Empires , they could maintain a balance of power and put each other in check.

      Prince Davious was the third and the youngest prince of Caddock Empire. Owing to the loss of her mother at a tender age , Davious was bullied by his two older brothers ( Prince Arrod and Prince Bavinus ). He's not talented in martial arts and has been stuck at mid stage of the martial beginner realm for a long time, he couldn't break through to the next stage. On the other hand, Prince Arrod who was the first prince was already at the final stage of the Advanced martial realm and Prince Bavinus at the initial stage of Advanced Martial realm.

          While Davious was sleeping on a chilly night, Lord Rhinus took a liking to his body which could help him regain his full strength .So, he used a secret technique and merged with him. As a result of this,Davious possessed both his own memories and Lord Rhinus memories and of course , Lord Rhinus strength too. In other words , Davious became Lord Rhinus and Lord Rhinus became Davious. 

  The following morning, Davious paid a visit to his father.

        "Greetings , your majesty" he knelt before his father

Emperor Leotimus was at the early stage of martial Lord realm and was surprised as he couldn't see through the martial realm of Davious anymore.

   "How's your training going ?" asked the Emperor with a serious look

     "It's going well. So, I would like to leave the palace and gain more experience by traveling around" Said Davious

   "Hmm.... You've been stuck at the mid stage of the martial beginner realm for a long time. With your weak strength , you'll only get yourself killed while traveling around. I can't allow you to leave !" the Emperor retorted

    "Father , I'm strong enough to leave the palace. if you don't believe me , how about I have a battle against Prince Arrod ?" Devious replied

            Emperor Leotimus scoffed and ignored him thinking he's only trying to wiggle his way out. As a way of punishing Davious for being reckless and stubborn, the Emperor organized a battle between Davious and Prince Arrod. 

   ( AT PRINCE ARROD'S QUARTER )

"Is the father trying to get his precious son killed ?" Prince Bavinus said funnily

    "Hahahaha....who knows ?. Perhaps the idiot has wronged father in some way. This is also a good thing for me. it's a chance for me to teach that fool some lesson" Prince Arrod chuckles

    Few days later , in front of the Ministers and officials , the battle between the two Princes was held.

       Standing on the podium was Prince Arrod looking pleased with the thought that he's already won the battle . Then, Davious walked onto the stage and the Emperor commanded to begin the fight. 

    "You can come at me, brother " said Davious with a smile

         "Arrogant bastard , you must be having a death wish !" said the furious Prince Arrod

Prince Arrod unsheathed his sword and charged towards Davious. He tried to stab Davious with the sword but his sword couldn't penetrate his body. He was shocked and tried several times but still couldn't hurt Davious. 

   It was a shocking scene for everyone as Davious was well known to have less talent in martial practice. 

       "Could it be that you haven't eaten this morning ?" Davious teased him 

     "Darn you crazy bastard !" Prince Arrod uttered , showing how frustrated he was at the moment.

   Prince Arrod unleashed his soul force . A red glowing light was unleashed and on his forehead was a sword shaped light glowing with two dots which proves that he's at the mid stage of advanced martial realm.

 Those in the beginner realm have a glowing dot on their forehead , two dots when they reach the mid stage and three when they reach the final stage of the beginner realm. Advanced martial realms practitioners would have a sword shaped carving on their forehead , a triangular glowing carving for those in the martial master realm , spherical carving for martial Lord realm practitioners, a half circle shape for Martial King, circular for martial emperor , star shaped carving for demi-god realm and a crescent moon shaped for those in the martial god realm. Each shape is accompanied by glowing dots. The number of dots around each shape determines their stage.

          Prince Arrod raised his sword and gathered energy into it. The sword was glowing with red light. Then, from where he was standing , he made a slash at Davious with his sword but to everyone's surprise , the slash was dispersed as soon as it approached Davious.

    "This is so boring. Why don't we end this here , brother ?", Davious said gently 

   Before Prince Arrod could do anything again , he was sent flying out of the ring by the wave caused by Davious when he unleashed his soul force.

     "How pathetic",Davious shakes head

Everyone present couldn't believe what happened. Davious was announced the winner and he was granted permission to leave the palace and explore the world as he had wanted.

    Davious left the palace on that day. A few days later , he   arrived at a small village where he saw a group of men bullying someone. A young man who seems to be in his 20's was being bullied. 

          "You bastard ! I shall teach you a lesson today",said a huge man in the mid stage of the advanced martial realm.

He and some other three men in the late stage of the beginner realm attack the young man. He couldn't land a blow at them but with his spear technique , he was barely able to keep up with them. In the end , he was hit by a landing blow and fell on the ground. As he struggles to get up, the huge man steps on him and prevents him from getting up.

   "That's enough for today , you should stop here",said a voice not too far from them

    They looked around and saw Davious approaching them.

       "Who on earth do you think you are !",uttered of the three minions of the huge man

 "humph, it would be a waste to get your soul martens crushed",Davious added with a gentle voice accompanied with a smile

        "Who the heck is this fool ?"

      "Could he be in the martial master realm or above ?"

   "I doubt it, he looks so young. He must be bluffing",thought the huge man as he stares at Davious

        "Since you are determined to get yourself killed, I shall kindly grant your wish",said the huge man

   The huge man dashed towards Davious but flung back as Davious released a wave of his soul force. 

        The huge man fell hard on the ground and spat out blood. He held his chest and screamed out in pain. Immediately, his minions took to their heels. 

   "You....you... you crushed my soul  !",cried out the huge man

        "Should I take your life as well ?",Davious threatened him with a smile on his face

  The huge man gets up and limped out of sight in fear

    "Thank you for your help, senior" said the young man with a bow

       "Hmm....that's fine. What's your name ?",Davious asked

   "I'm Heddicus,senior",replied Heddicus

           "Heddicus. A fine name I must say"

"Would you like to be my disciple ?",asked Davious

   Heddicus was shocked and frozen for a moment.

                  "Oh....it seems you don't want to",Davious added

    "O...of... of course not",stammered Heddicus

       Heddicus is the son of General Cuffinus ( a powerful general in Mavinus Empire).He could also be considered one of the young geniuses of Mavinus Empire.

     "You're born with a divine thunder body. Interesting",Davious said

     "How....do you know that , Senior ?", Heddicus asked with a surprising look

 "Of course, I can see it with my eyes", Davious sounds arrogant

         "Woah.... unbelievable. Unfortunately, I can only awaken it when I reach the martial Lord realm. That's going to take a long time",Sighed Heddicus

    "Not necessarily. It's just a divine thunder body",Davious said

 Then , Davious moves closer to Heddicus and points his finger at him. A beam of golden light was released from the tip of his finger into Heddicus' forehead. Heddicus held his head in pain and suddenly released a terrifying wave of soul force.

     Running through Heddicus' body was blue lightning.

 "The Divine Thunder Body is awakened and...I made a breakthrough. I made a breakthrough !",Heddicus yelled excitedly

"Disciple Heddicus greet Master" he bows before Davious

              "Hmm...good.From the spear technique you're practicing,I could tell you're from Mavinus Empire",Davious added

   "Yes , Master. I'm the second son of General Cuffinus",replied Heddicus

         "Oh...I see. Let's get out of here" Davious said

Martial practitioners level up by gathering the dispersed surroundings energy. The Energy is stored in a small spherical stone like object called Soul Marrun. Soul Marrun is formed in the body of martial practitioners the moment they broke through the first stage of martial beginner realm. The energy gathered is converted to what is known as soul force. The more the soul force of a martial practitioner, the longer such practitioner could keep fighting against an opponent. Also, the higher the realm , the more the soul force possessed by Martial practitioners. 

   The following couples of days they got acquainted and Davious learned more about Heddicus.

    "This is the way to Ormadock Martial Academy, Master. Are we going there ?",Heddicus asked

         "That's right. I'm sure that's where you're heading to before we meet.", Replied Davious

   "You're right ,Master. But, I don't need to go there again" ,he added

             "Let's go and see if I can get some talented disciples", said Davious

       "Some talented disciples ? . Master , are you trying to open a martial academy ?", questioned Heddicus

   Davious smacked his head and told him to focus on where they're going.

      Ormadock Martial Academy was the best martial academy in Vion continent where lots of elite martial practitioners are trained. The head of the academy was also a Martial Emperor. Ormadock Academy earns its name from the three most powerful empires in the Vion continent. 0R from Orvand Empire, MA from Mavinus Empire and DOCK from Caddock Empire. Hence the name , Ormadock Martial Academy. It was a martial academy jointly created by the three most powerful empires.

          Soon afterwards, Davious and his disciple reached the entrance of Ormadock Academy.

    "You can't enter. Go away !", yelled one of the guards as he was trying to stop them from entering

 "You fools . Do you know who my master is ?" Heddicus brags

        "I'm here to meet the head of the academy . Let me in",added Davious

    "hmm...what a joke !" another guard said

  Davious released a wave of his soul force and the guards were flung out of his way. The soul force was so strong that it alarmed Lord Irrus ( Head of the academy ).

   In a blink of an eye, Lord Irrus showed up by the entrance. He was an old man in a white robe holding a black rod. 

             "May I know why you're causing trouble here ?", Lord Irrus demanded

    "I guess you lose your sight as you gets older", Davious said with confidence

         At this moment , Heddicus was getting scared. It is well known that Lord Irrus is at the second stage of the martial emperor realm.

   "How impudent !",Lord Irrus unleashed a wave of his soul force which dispersed as soon as it reached Davious .

       "Gosh, is this the best you can do as a Martial Emperor practitioner ?"

"How disappointing !",Davious mocks him

   "Could he be a martial Emperor practitioner too ?"

"How could he be unaffected by my soul force ?",Lord Irrus wonders

 "Alright, bring it on "

Let's see the true strength of a martial Emperor realm practitioner",Davious winks
