Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 38

"Your gift for passing the Demigod Academy's exam," Henry said. "But—"

He leaned closer.

"You need to accept a condition if you want the gift."

"What condition?" Neo asked with furrowed brows.

"Today is your rank battle competition. You will need to choose a rank and enter a 7-day battle royale to protect your rank. If you survive, you will be awarded with the rank you chose."

Henry's words explained the rank competition.

Neo knew it already.

The competition was the first major arc in the novel where the protagonist and the main cast were introduced.

Moreover, the competition was a broadcasted live all over the continent.

"What rank are you planning to choose?" Henry asked.

"…"

Neo didn't answer.

"Chose any rank below 1500 and you can have the gift."

Just as Neo was about to answer, Henry added,

"Don't be so quick to reject. Check the gift, maybe you'll accept my offer."

His confidence made Neo curious about the gift.

He opened the suitcase.

…!

"How is it?" Henry smiled.

Neo took out the sword from the suitcase.

The hilt had a black cross pattern and the blade was inside the sheathe.

His senses warned him. The blade was dangerous.

He tried to pull out the blade from the scabbard but failed.

It confirmed his guess.

'I can't believe I got my hands on it without doing anything.'

"Its name is Obitus," Henry explained.

Neo nodded.

Obitus.

It was a new prototype weapon made by Hargraves Corporation.

It would be known as the first weapon of the God Slayer Series in the future.

In a world where Gods were real, it was easy to guess how powerful a weapon was if it was named as the God Slayer Weapon.

"What… is this?" Amelia asked uneasily.

She could sense that something was not right Obitus.

It felt unnatural.

Like something that shouldn't exist.

"It's our new weapon series. Soul Weapons. These weapons grow with their wielders."

"Grow?"

Amelia eyes widened.

It was the first time she heard about such weapon.

"And, what did you mean weapon by 'our weapon'?" she asked.

"Yes, it can grow stronger alongside its user. As for your second question, Obitus is the latest product of our Hargraves Corporation."

"Hargraves Corporation?" She turned to Neo. "You are filthy rich."

Neo nodded.

"I'll accept your condition in exchange for the 'gift'," he told Henry.

"Look at this fucker lying with a straight face."

Henry tapped his finger on the armrest.

"Fuck, take the sword. You will get your ass handed to you if you participate for a high rank without a good weapon.

"But, bitch, if anything happens to you, I will kill you. Mark my words.

"You better return safe."

"Thank you," Neo smiled.

Henry clicked his tongue and turned away.

"That's right. Be thankful, fucker. You have the best brother in the world."
