《Born a Demi-God (Hiatus)》Chapter 3: The purple pill and an unexpected meeting
Advertisement
'Wait, only I suppose to be the only human this island?'
"Helena... who are you? aren't I am suppose to be the only one on the island?" I said taking a couple a step back watching her cautiously
“I am the eighth seat member of the god council, I came here to meet you"(Helena)
"....Oh so you are the eighth seat member, aren't you a little too young to be a member?" I said while still being on guard.
"..... I am an adult." She said, getting irritated.
“How old are you then?" (Zain)
Finally snapping with anger, she said " You do not supposed to ask a women age! And I am not here to just answer your questions. I came here to give you this" she threw a purple object towards me.
Catching it, I look at it and somehow I feel as that it was giving off an ancient aura. “What is this?" I ask while looking intrigue in its aura
"That is the pill for you to help you with something, I don’t know what, but your father before death used his life force to make this pill."(Helena)
“A pill like this exists.... Why are you doing this? You must have goal for doing this."(Zain)
"You will find out later... I will see you after you finish the trails. Oh yeah and here." She gives me a silver thin 2 feet rod with golden runes on it “This was your father's."
Touching the rod, it feel like a normal silver rod with just something written on them “What is this supposed to be?" I ask looking at her with a confuse face seeing me looking like this, she smiled and said
“This is sacred weapon, a one and a kind weapon your father is giving it you. It can change into three different weapon, a sword, a spear, and a magic staff. Since I did what I came here to do, I have no reason to be here," After saying this she smiled a devilish grin then turned into mist eventually disappearing.
‘She must be scheming something….’
Taking a few more looks at the place where she disappear, I turn my gaze towards the pill and the rod. She never told me how to work this rod, deciding to worry about it later I focus on the pill. Since she said it was going to help, I decided it was best for me to swallow it now since if I go into the forest with it, it might attract many demonic beast because of it aura.

After swallowing the pill I feel a burst of warm energy entering my chest over time becoming scorching hot sensation making me bend down in pain. After unknown amount of time the heat subsided down relieving the pain but it didn't last long as it was replace by the sound of my bones shattering and being rebuild repeating the process over and over, not just that but my body feel like it was been thrown into a pot of boiling water. Couldn't take it any more I screamed endlessly and soon after a while I fell unconscious..
Gaining my conscious back I tried to get up from the ground but suddenly feeling a surge of pain all over body leading me to yell in pain. Enduring the pain I stand up from the ground and look at my body, but was instantly surprise to see my body because my tanned skin wasn't the same tanned rough skin but was a smooth pure white skin which brought me into a daze. Getting out of my daze I also realize that not just my skin but my whole physique change drastically, my used to be muscular well-built body transform into a slim- built body that is way smaller than my previous body but I have a feeling that I am more than 100 times stronger and faster than was I used to be. Not only that but my height grew 3 inches making me look like an 18 year old adult and also my used to be short black hair change into shoulder length pasty white hair. I believe if that I met my family again they will not recognize me. After taking a few more minutes to observe the changes of my body, I notice that only changes of my body I see and feel is just how my body change and how stronger and faster I become.
‘This is going take some time to get used to’
Deciding that since I was going to live in the island for a year now, I decided it is best for me to build a house for me to live in while I am here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 weeks later...
It's been two weeks since I have been here at the Island. During the two weeks I have been here, I finally manage to build a stable house here, on the beach. Getting materials for the house was really easy to do the fact of my strength making it easy to snap trees in halve as it was twigs. The other thing I learned staying at this Island is that this world is always at daytime. Also during the two weeks I been here, I have not went to deep into the forest fearing that I will come across an extremely powerful beast.

Food and water supply hasn't been a problem because while searching for the materials to build my house I fortunately found a river source with many nonpoisonous berries surrounding the river, but sadly there was not any fish in the water.
Sitting in my makeshift bed made from larges leaves and branches, I was staring at the rod Helena gave me when I came to the island. It's been 2 hours since I have tried many things to find out how to work this thing, I tried talking to it, and I have tried communicated through my mind. Getting ready to give up on the weapon, I decided to try using my blood. Using my teeth I bit down on my thump, slightly hurting a little, until I taste the metallic blood in my mouth then I drop a drop of blood off my thumb onto the weapon. After two minutes of nothing I became frustrated and put the rod to the side of me and lay down to relax eventually falling to sleep.
Opening my eyes I found myself sitting cross legs in a white space, trying to move around but I immediately notice I couldn't move.
Suddenly in front of me a gather of mist started to slowly appear and take shape of familiar male figure.
"F-f-father?" I said shouted, the familiar figure was my own father.
'But isn't he dead!'
"Zain," The voice called me, sounding exactly like my father. It continued “It seem that Helena gave you the gifts I prepared for you before my death."
"Father..." I muttered
“Zain the pill you swallowed already is a pill to help you awaken your powers.. The rod is a sacred weapon that only accept the blood of the one who is destine to wield it. The rod is called the triad transformation rod. This rod have a piece of my conscious in it, to give you a message about the fate that awaits you. But first let me tell you about the universe. There are thousands or probably millions of gods in different worlds and realms. In the beginning of time before the universe was created there were only 4 gods. The god of chaos, the god of creation, the god of destruction, and the goddess of peace. These gods are known as the Four God Emperors, the 4 gods created many different races and worlds/realms. For instance the god of chaos created the demon race while the goddess of peace create the elven race and the god of destruction created the beast race. The 4 gods exclude themselves from the universe to observe their creations and won't intervene with them unless their race is being endangered of being extinct. And this when you come in Zain, you are a person who is fated to be a legendary hero figure among the races. A long time ago when I first ascended to become a god I was spoken to by the goddess of peace, Ellora. She told me that I must impregnated a mortal women to give birth to a male demi-god, but she knew about the rule the god council will set on the gods forbidding us to have a mortal lover because of the ongoing attack of the berserk god. So she gave me power to kill it, making the gods owe a favor to me. I did as she instructed and got your mother pregnant to have birth to a male... Which fail with her ended up having female twins but worked the second time around. I love your mother, so don't have the any wrong idea of me. Well anyways the gods find out about your mother existence and I was caught breaking the rule leading to my death and you was supposed to be put in high security prison but was not because I ask them to give you a chance of freedom and I knew they wouldn't disagree with my request. As for as I know from the time I have contacted the goddess Ellora, I think it will be a major event that will include all races ....as my one and only son I want you to be safe and to take care of the family while I am away...."(Henry)
Saying this his body slowly started to fade away into mist. Staring at the disappearing figure of my father awestruck trying to move desperately because I knew if he disappeared I won't be able to see him again.
"Father!" I shouted again and again with tears flowing down my face, but no one answer my call....

In Another World with Doraemon's 4D Pocket
Cary found himself awoken in a foreign land with what he thought was a nondescript white pouch. Reaching into the white pouch, he was able to pull out an assortment of gadgets that he recognized to be from his favorite childhood show, Doraemon. With the thousands of mischievous, powerful gadgets inside the 4D pocket, Cary will take on this new world by storm! Something ridiculous I will write purely for fun alongside my main story Giantslayer As a disclaimer, I may nerf some of the most broken gadgets or even not use them at all. Doraemon was insane for a children manga (e.g. Doraemon canonically has a nuclear bomb inside his 4D pocket), some of the gadgets have the potential to end this story in one chapter. The most important factor is fun so anything that completely breaks the story might not be mentioned at all (or we will pretend they do not exist in the 4D pocket). We may find uses for those broken gadgets in the future, though. I am not particularly good at writing comedy. There will of course be funny moments (at least I hope they are funny) but everyone in this story will actually behave in a realistic(?) and serious manner. I want the serious world to contrast with some of the wacky gadgets that are available.
