Somewhere in a certain pass a light shone so bright that the monsters lurking in that vicinity scattered in fright.

As fast as it shone as fast as it vanish, in the center of that light squirmed a shadow. it has a humanoid form but it's height was higher than normal human, it's muscles are compact while its skin color indicates that its not human.

it's skin is green, dark green, while in its shoulder a tattoo of red was drawn, the tattoo looking like a sword smeared with blood and behind it is broken helmet.

"urgg.."

the shadow groan as it open its eyes and look at its surrounding. Confused, the being has no memmory of the place he was in, to begin with it he doesnt even know who he was or what he was, the only thing that came to his mind was a blurred memmory of someone slashing at him and the words that person said to him before he swung his dual sword.

Hasshhssh

While he was in the middle of recollecting part of his memmory the bush ten meters away from him hustles as green being a little taller than him imerge from it.

like him the being that came out has a green skin and has a humanoid form but compare to the size, that being is a head taller than him, it's volume was also thicker as it's muscle decorates its whole body giving a feeling that normal sword won't injured it, in its hand was thick tree branch, it was holding it like a club.

"■■■■■■"

the being opened its mouth and what came out was sound that was completely foreing to him, not understanding what the being said he took a step back.

seeing this anger rose from the being as it raised its voice as it run to him dragging the club in tow, and as it got close the being raised the brach and swing aiming for him.

Fear took his mind as he raised his hand to guard but as the branch connect to his arm a small force was felt and instead of a searing pain it only felt like he was being gently pushed and then a cracking sound was heard.

The branch that was swung to him broke and pieces of it fly in every direction the only thing that was left was the part of the branch used as a handle.

surprised the being stared at the branch it used as a weapon while the one who was hit became mad of being targeted and swung his fist.

Boom!!

Blood scattered everywhere as his fist hit the being's face, taking a strong hit from its face the being retreated 3 steps before falling face down, the being didnt move though it's still breathing, seeing this he raised his foot as he stomp on its head as his anger didnt disipate he continued this as the being turned to dust leaving things at it's previous place.

"hah... hah..."

He stop his rampage as he catches his breath, looking at the place his enemy was a second ago his anger calmed down as he again look at his surrounding, but then as he looked back a person was standing there, he was about to raised his fist for a punch but then a chill run down his spine as the being looked at him in the eyes.

The person standing there wore a metal  armor of full red in its back was a large sword meant to hold with two hands while his helmet completely covers his face with slits for him to breath and to see behind the metal helmet.

As the fully armored person took a step forward he follows it with a step backward. fear envelopes him just by looking at the glowing red eyes he can see by the slit in the helmet.

"stop."

The person said, it was said with soft voice but to him it was a heavy word that presses him and just like the words meaning he completely stood at his place, he tried to move but his body won't listen.

Seeing this the person nods with satisfaction.

"Good, now do you know who you are or what you are?"

The person asked, still trembling in fear he denied it by shaking his head.

"I see, then do you know what you just killed?"

Another question was asked and just like the first question he dinied by shaking his head.

"What you killed just now is a troll, a monster birthed by nature, and that troll is the same race as you, previously that is."

The person said.

Hearing those word he was completely stunned.

'Same race as me.... previously.'

he tough as the persons word sink to him.

"Thats right previously same as you, because just now I revive you, gave you my blessing and inserted knowledge."

'Revive? Knowledge? Blessing?" cold sweat run down his whole body as those words sink deep in his mind specially the word blessing, just hearing that he gave his blessing to him only one word entered his mind "God".

"Thats right."

The person said like he had read his mind, his fear climb a new hieght as he forced his body to kneel.

"Good, now do you know why I gave you my blessing or why i revive you?"

The god said.

"No my lord."

A little hoarse but he still answered.

"Good, because its simple, when you where still nothing but mindless monster you had fought with a chosen that still in the middle of growing,  and with that fierce battle my attention was caught. A battle so fierce where both warrior stood with one foot at their grave, it makes me smile for it's been long since a watched such a lovely battle."

The god explained as he tough to himself that it felt like the God just smile behind that helmet.

"And because of that i had fun, i was going to take that boy for my own but alast Artemis owns him that why instead of taking him for my own i just reward him with my blessing, but then an idea came to me. Since the battle just now was so eye catching i want to see it again and for that to happen i need you in my plan."

To the gods excited voice his fear grew higher and higher.

"And with that reason I revive you in a new body not far from your previous one, I gave you knowledge to let you travel a cross land and go stronger on your own, Then I gave you my blessing to fasten the growth of you strength."

"You should still have the memmory before your death, now remember the face of that person who slay you and go strengthen your self and once your stronger take your revenge and while you do so know that I'll be watching."

The God said before a light engulf them and just as fast as it shone it vanish with the same speed and the place where the god was previously standing an armor and sword was laying there.

"My last gift for you, now take it in exchange don't let me down." a voice said directly in his mind.

Standing up from the kneeling position the previous troll went and took the armor. though he doesnt have an idea for what the item is for but he knows how to use it so he wore it, next was a sword previously laying by the now wore armor, it was thick and long, it was meant to hold with two hand and with just it's weight even without much sharpness it was able to slice its target, it was a broadsword. he took it along with its scabard he then fasten the belt to his body as he let the sword hung behind him.

He was about to move from his spot when a question pop in his head.

"what do i call myself?"

The god said that he was a previous troll, a wandering mindless monster, but then he was given blessing and new body, and because of that he doesnt want to be grouped as one of those mindless troll now that he had gain knowledge.

He then looked at his hand, his dark green hand before he got an idea.

"I guess ill call my self Green from now on."

Green said as he walk in the direction of the mountain away from the mountain path, with his goal of being stronger Green aim to climb the mountain and fight the Stone giants that live in there.

and just as he started to climb the mountain an armored person with katana like weapon hanging on his waiste entered the mountain pass.
