The snow increased drastically under a couple of seconds, Max was looking down on Ivan's body, Audrey came to him from behind and asked Max, "How does revenge feel my boy? Did it bring you the long-awaited pleasure, was it equal to the dreams I gave you back then?", Max answered, "I am nothing but honest grandpa, the power you told me about was beyond my imagination, I almost lost faith in it a couple of times but luckily I kept on the faith, however, the revenge, I thought I would be Killing them but the moment I saw how weak the poor creature was before me, I forgave him, revenge is only sweet when the opponent is stronger, fighting weaklings is like chewing on lollipops".

"Then let's leave, for now, the world is going to change from this moment on", as Audrey said those words, the city started to burst out, explosion, fire, ice, light, earth, tornado, the city had turned into a disaster within minutes of receiving powers, no matter which direction Max looked at, the disasters were everywhere, "Grandpa what's happening?".

"What do you think? The world has received powers out of nowhere, the humans were not prepared like you and me, their powers is going out of control, don't worry about them, let's go home", Max asked Audrey, with a worried face, "But Grandpa what about dad and mom, they too have received the power, haven't they?", "Yes, possibly, and that's about it?", "What's about it? Are you telling me you do not care about their well being, he is your son, my mom and brothers, your wife, they have all gained the same powers as us, don't you have an ounce of fear what might happen to them, you speak very casual of them?".

Audrey with a dejection expression answered Max, "I see, your personality has changed, is it because you have power now boy", Audrey in a blitz of a second caught Max high-up by the neck and said, "Just like your father, you dare to rise your tongue on me boy, I once let him do as he please and he got out of control but you are now my golden ticket, so don't piss me off", Max was struggling to get out of his grip, "How is he so strong, he must have studied magic like me and even longer than me", thought Max to himself.

Audrey let him down and said with a concerned expression, "Sorry Max, your family is dead", Max on the ground went silent, "I warned everyone, to prepare themselves, they were just simply not ready for the power, you and I are the last members of the Bellwitz family".

Audrey was looking down at Max as he was telling him about the fate of his family, then Max suddenly disappeared, "Where did he vanish too?", Said Audrey, then suddenly a palm appeared before his eyes, he was pushed to the ground, Max hit Audrey so strong he made a large pit and the bodies of Ivan and his friends flew far from them, "I see, the fire within him has awoken, yes that's it".

Max took off his hand and saw Audrey smiling, Max's voice had changed and expression too, a sinister voice and a Rage expression, "You smile when your family is dead, you are one evil being, Grandpa", "Well you are not the first grandson to tell me that", Max enraged and screamed, "Appear my wand", pointing his wand at the sky, "Oh heavens, Open your clouds and let your spear fall on the face of the earth, crush every last one of them animals".

From the sky like a meteor a spear, as big as the city fell, "Haha... Max... it was just as the prophecy foretold... a man will be born, who will challenge the greatest of all and then give his power to the evilest of creatures, your power is mine... Appear", Max saw an evil smile on his grandpa's expression and light from his body came out and shot the sky, shattered the spear before reaching the earth, "Max... my little boy where are you?".

The dust covering the area cleared itself, Max with tears was, pointed his wand at his grandpa, "Oh come on... my boy, let me just absorb you, I will make sure to end your suffering as quickly as possible... don't be stupid and let me send you back to your lovely dead family", light beams were shot by Max and Audrey avoided them and approached Max slowly, "Enhance", Said Audrey, making his body even stronger, Audrey reached Max and tried to punch, "I got you now, your dead meat".

Audrey heard Max say, "Full Boost", Max used a spell that uses all his mana, "This spell, he is really trying all he can to kill me, with his massive mana, he will destroy me", the punch was about to reach Max's face, it was as if time moved slower for Max.

Max ripped off Audrey's right arm, blood was floating in the air, "To the one who I looked up to, you are now everything that I don't wanna become", Max came before Audrey and punched his stomach, the punch covered by mana was so strong, it split his body to many parts, Max saw Audrey's eyes with tears, time resumed normally once again.

Max is now alone, before he is the body of his dead Grandpa, "In your last moments, you show tears, were you trying to win my sympathy, you bastard", Max didn't know what to do, The last Bellwitz got on his knees and screamed.

An Oldman from the side was sitting and watching him screaming and crying, "So this is how you die my friend".

[FLASHBACK]

"After my grandson kills me, please take care of him", Said Audrey to an Oldman, the Oldman answered, "Wait... wait... what? Man... you can't just jump to speeches like these without context, what's going on?", Audrey tried to punch the man, though old of age he dodged, "I haven't lost my touch, old buddy, so don't worry and tell me what's going on?".

"It is about the prophecy, my family is under great danger, do you remember the prophecy about the Bellwitz family, the monster that would be born in us, well the prophecy said it is going to be the grandson of the Bellwitz hero", "Oh... your grandson, let me guess the new crazy King has his eyes on your family, but why do you have to die?", "Why do you think I bought a house next to my son, we are being watched 24/7 by the military, the king is just waiting for the seal to be broken and I want to fill my grandson's heart with hatred and I want him to bring down the king's lineage", the Oldman with a joyful expression said, "I must say kinda out of character, I thought the Noble Bellwitz family were the right hand of the royal family", Audrey stood up and asked him, "So Frode Turgis, what will you do, will you take on my grandchild after me or should I ask your rivals?", "Don't think about provoking me, I will do it any way but I seriously would question this suicide mission of yours, why don't you challenge the royal family all on your own?".

"If I had the power to defeat them, I would have rid the world of them long ago but the people never took my side, I will talk to my grandson if he forgives me we will strive to become stronger together but if he kills me, then make out of him a great warrior".

[HORSE PULLING CART]

Max opened his eyes and heard a voice singing, in a foreign language.

The man stopped singing as he heard a sound from the cart, "Oh, you are awake? Haha... I thought you were never gonna wake up, I was this close to burying you 👌", Max had a headache and fell asleep after listening to him and collapsed, with a wonderful expression he said, "I didn't mean to destroy him, I think the joke terrified him", the Oldman continued his singing and his horse continued on to the destination.

[1ST, JANUARY, 3000]

The world had turned into a disaster, the people couldn't handle the power bestowed upon them.

The 31st king of the throne, Berserk Layor, was floating above the sky, he opened his arms and screamed, "Stop...", a scream so loud every single person heard it in the world, Immediately the disasters stopped and the king's face was shown in the skies of the world, "My dear people, the disasters around the world has destroyed us, the god above us has forsaken us, but in the darkness of this world, he gave me the perfect mana and the strongest among us...", the Oldman Frode at his farm was looking at the sky and listening to him, "...it was even a shock for me to be bestowed upon such power but now that I have regained my control, I will stop the disasters and repair the world by my own power", the king's wand appeared from the sky, it was as big as the sky itself, it even shocked Frode, "That bastard, what has the Layor family hidden from us all these years?".

The king's eyes turned into light and he said, "By the cost of my mana, let the balance came to the world once again and let the disasters disappear, all the dead souls return to me, all the wounds healed", Frode saw a light on Max's body, he was being healed, "His mana... is returning to normal, no wonder Audrey didn't do Shxt against his majesty... haha... how will you defeat such power Max".

The king finished repairing the world and cooling down the mana of the people, then he started to make a statement, "By the power given to me and my status I here declare, the start of the new world, my people I will send to you instructions on how to use your powers to your best and make you the best of the best, from now on anyone except the royal family will be treated as equals, Nobles and all those beneath me are now equals, live to tell the tale for the next generation, you are the survivor of this great miracle", Said the king and vanished into the sky.

The people despite them having lost many people, trillions of them, are the survivor, "Yes...", "The King is right", "Let's do our best, we will have to meet the king's expectations", "He Saved us from destroying ourselves and he said he will send instructions to us".

The commoners and poor people were celebrating for their equal status with the nobles and their new powers, however, the nobles, people who already knew about the return of mana, they were enraged.

[THORSEN NOBLE HOUSEHOLD]

"We equal with the peasants, disgusting, I don't even wanna breathe the same air as them, what is his majesty thinking?", the leader of the Thorsen was enraged on the new statement by the king, the fact that his son, lost last night to a commoner too had made him angrier, "Father... Please give me another chance and let me get my pride back, this a new world, I will do even better than the last world".

Ivan's father threw a glass at him and said, "You get out of my sight, come before me when you have the head of that peasant with you", Ivan's siblings were laughing at him as he left the room, the father had the rage expression and the siblings' laughter expression.

With an angry, hollow and dark expression, Ivan left the room and outside the door, he made the promise, "I will kill Max Bellwitz and Berserk Layor".
