Calm Before the Storm.

    A Giant Could be seen sitting on a throne, the skin of blood red, full of scars on every inch of his body, a dark red long hair flowing down his shoulders, eyes as black as the abyss, every move of his showing off the excellent muscles gained through bloodshed, his demeanor one of tyranny and domination, every breath taken deliberate and controlled, this giant was overlooking dozen of other giants kneeling in front of him, the torches slightly illuminated their scar ridden bodies, only the slight sound of tree's swaying could be heard, and the silence couldn't prevail.

    "So, Jormun and his family have died, by the hands of a Human..." A deep voice has resounded within the premises of a small hidden village located within the mountains, the voice carrying power and tyranny as it swept by its small population, instead of fear, the residents of the small village showed expressions of wrath, they were giants.

    "Years of peace disrupted because of human Greed, its time my fellow Tribesmen, we have to use the horns, call in the other Tribes." Quickly 5 giants out of the dozen stood up and rushed to the edge of the village, the giants worked too efficiently, like they were trained to do this for their entire life, standing in front of the 10 meter tall Horn of an Ancient Monster, one of the giants cracked his neck and put his mouth at smaller end of the horn,

    *FIUUUUUUUU* 

    Inhaling at the same time, the lungs of each giant enlarged by twice their normal size, as the silence prevailed the giants were circulating the mana within their lungs, creating a flow, before converting all of it into air and finally disrupting the silence.

    *BOOOOOOUUUUUUNG* 

    The Horns resounded from the peak and the four cardinal points, the horns blew shockwaves, the tree's swayed in discord as they were almost blown out of the ground with their roots altogether, as the shockwave has spread it slowly managed to clear up the sky from any wandering clouds, letting the moonlight fall onto the residents of the small village, menacing, ruthless, wrathful eyes full of bloodlust, they were just waiting for the moment, after half an hour of kneeling the moment arrived as suddenly as it went.

    *Boouuung* 

    A small shockwave arrived from all the four directions, bringing along wind and dust, it was their signal for preparation, slowly each one of the Tribesmen stood up, with a swift motion each one of them excluding the old and children went with purpose, opening their houses each of the residents left with thick scarred armor, the giants were around 6 meters tall, the armor on them was around 15 cm thick, their steps created miniature earthquakes, slowly each of the Strong Adults have stopped at the exit of their Village and were awaiting orders. 

    The breathing of each giant has slowed down, each inhale and exhale long and deliberate, looking forward the giants could see their breath turn into mist, anticipation grew more, making some restless giants grunt.

    From behind they heard their leader stand up from his throne, his slow and heavy steps reverberating through the village, he arrived in the front of the Village entrance and with an inhale he stated.

    "It's time we prepare, Let's go to the Gathering Peak." The Giant Chief said with his imposing figure of 10 meters took the first step, and with him his brethren took after him, with purpose, with revenge, wrath and revenge hidden in their eyes. 

===========================

    Meanwhile At Pirkos Manor inside a certain room could be seen a youth meditating in the middle of the night.

    *Booung* 

    Opening his eyes due to the very familiar yet unfamiliar sound he quickly went towards his window and opened it, only to be greeted by silence, silence which was too uncanny, too suspicious, at this time of the night small insects and animals could be heard moving and surviving, but this was too weird, deciding to close the window the youth turned around and lit up one of the candles on his messy desk.

    Pinching the middle of his brows at his own laziness he cleaned up and organized the desk a bit before starting to write down his findings in his meditation. 

    "The skills reward experience every level, and also the increase of mastery increases the experience gained from leveling up a skill, that's why my skills gave much more experience when they were level 4 and 3 than a level 2 or 1 skill, the amount of experience from a level cannot be pinpointed due to my ignorance when it came to check up the status interface. 

    The Physical and Mental stats gained through training can be pinpointed due to my training consisting of a 7 day physical conditioning and endurance training where the time spent on each consisted of exactly 5 hours for both, the intensity cannot be pinpointed due to me increasing my prowess and endurance. out of my stats i gained 6 from leveling up, 

    "This is enough, it seems my mana has regenerated enough to get another try at it." Daniel thought out loud, he close his eyes and opened his status, fully concentrating on the skills section he commanded the system to organize each of the skills into groups consisting of Physical and mental skills. 

[BEEP !] 

[System has undergone a change, Update has begun, System functionality has been denied until update is finished.]

[Warning, this will take a while, the user cannot open the Menu.]

[-_________________. 1%]

    Looking at the system with a blank face he couldn't help but curse out loud.

    "Wow, the creator of the system sure liked windows 10 a lot...."sighing, the mana exhaustion finally caught up to him after the adrenaline evaporated, falling, his final thoughts were of regret as he was way too far from his comfy bed.

*Thud*
