Brand New World

As Cedric stepped out of the portal he found himself plummeting from the sky, and yet he felt no fear.

This was a mere trial for God's Chosen, he almost felt ashamed for panicking momentarily.

And he would not fail God in the first trial he was put through.

He gripped his sword and braced himself for impact. He felt it in his very being: a massive fall like this would shatter lesser men, but not Cedric, not God's chosen.

And yet he was so far above clouds that he couldn't even see the ground, It would be a while before he crashed into the ground.

Perhaps this was a chance to pray to God, which was why he was summoned so high in the air.

As he fell he closed his eyes, his mind tuned out, ignoring the feeling of falling through vast skies.

He focused fully on his faith and recited a prayer. After all, it was with God's blessing that he arrived, and yet he knew why he was sent to this world.

It was to spread the glory of God, perhaps the world needed devoted Christians or some other reason. Cedric was sure His grace would reveal all soon enough.

"Dear Lord, I give you my hands to do Your work; I give You my feet to go Your way; I give You my eyes to see as You see; I give You my tongue to speak Your words; I give You my mind that You may think in me; I give You my spirit that You may pray in me. Above all, I give You my heart that You may love in me – love the Father and love all humankind. I give You my whole self, Lord, that You may grow in me so that it is You who lives, works, and prays in me. Amen."

He finally opened his eyes, there was a lot to do before he found himself deep in the ground.

With a deep sigh, he uttered words.

"Status!" As the words left his lips he was introduced to a screen he saw in the void.

There was just too much even to begin understanding it.

He instinctively felt that he could focus on any of the skills and they would reveal themselves to him.

His finger glided through the list, Thanks to God's blessing he knew how to read, yet so much information was difficult to process.

One skill in particular that caught his eye, was [God's Will]. Cedric fought for God's will for his entire life and now gained a skill with the same name as his life mission.

With his focus fully taken by the skill he focused on it and quickly expanded it, the whole screen taken by a single skill.

Cedric nodded, he needed to gain a better understanding of his newfound skills, but he would need to do so once he had gotten his bearings and established a base in this world.

His focus receded, letting the status menu close.

He was about to go through a large cloud, he grasped Equilibrium and with the use of [Holy Strike], cloud was desintegrated, leaving nothing behind and revealing a large grassy field he was about to crash in.

A battle was ongoing, two armies in bloody conflict. One army is made of Humans who were apparently losing heavily and the other is made up of mostly Humanoid beings of various shapes and sizes.

Cedric knew which side would have his support.

After all, Humanity was made in His image and so they will get Cedric's support.

It all made sense, demonic armies marched out of hell and he was sent to this world to put a stop to it.

"What an honor, God. I WILL NOT FAIL YOU!"

He laughed heartily as he Gripped Equilibrium, these armies of Satan will know fear soon enough.

With a loud shout, he cast [Grand Blessing] upon himself.

A blessing of God that would increase his power by at least 10 times the already unimaginable strength granted by God.

Simple and yet so powerful.

After another minute Cedric Crashed into the ground, sending soil everywhere, including a vast amount of demonic soldiers with the shattered ground.

Cedric emerged from the dust cloud from his landing, Equilibrium drawn towards the enemy.

"Deus Vult! You are the enemy of God and so You will be cast back to where you belong!" Cedric shouted towards the army, vast amounts of demons stunned for a moment.

This was Cedric's first trial he was sure of it. A reason he was summoned. God's decree was clear. Save Humanity from forces of evil.
