[Blood Drop Necklace]

# This is a necklace made by plaiting blood drops. It contains someone’s deep wish.

# Protects the user’s body.

# You can save and use three skills.

There was no great explanation about the item.

However, anyone who saw the effect would become greedy at least once.

It’s an item that can store three skills.

But to Hercules, it had value beyond an ‘item’.

“Why you!”

Kurrrrrr-.

The ground cracks open and an earthquake occurs.

Yuwon felt chills for the first time in a long time due to Hercules’ anger.

It felt like a fist was coming towards me at any moment.

‘You idiot is scary.’

Still, that anger won’t be directed at you right away.

Since the necklace was in his hand, he must have been madly curious about the reason.

“I picked it up.”

“You picked it up?”

Kuung-.

The body is pressed down.

The feeling of being immersed deep in the ground.

I felt like a quick explanation was needed.

“To be exact, it was stolen.”

“To whom?”

“Ares.”

“Ares?”

“That guy had it.”

The seat of war and struggle.

I knew their names because they had the same father.

Of course, we’ve never met.

Ares did not do much in Gigantomachia and did not have much external activity.

“Why does that guy…”

“Why?”

Yuwon nodded towards the necklace.

“Check for yourself.”

“….”

Hercules looked down at the necklace in his hand with a blank face.

Blood drop necklace.

The color looked just like blood, but contrary to its name, it was a truly beautiful necklace.

Hercules remembered exactly whose neck the necklace was on.

-son.

Rustling-.

I couldn’t put more force on it because I was worried it would break.

Because this was not just a necklace, but a keepsake.

-Everyone will try to take advantage of you.

Hercules’ mother.

Immediately after giving birth to Hercules, Alcmene looked at him and said,

-I’m sorry, son. Because I gave birth to you. For being born into a difficult world.

A son born with the wrong fate.

Zeus hugged Alcmene and gave birth to Hercules. She hugged Hercules and cried.

Hercules.

A child who inherits the blood of Zeus and will become the strongest in the future.

Therefore, the child will be unhappy in the future.

The world, and above all Olympus, will not leave Hercules, who possesses this kind of power, alone.

-Nevertheless, I will ask you a favor.

Hercules remembered clearly.

The voice of a mother crying as she hugged herself, who was too big for a newborn.

And strangely enough, I saw myself as a newborn child who understood everything he meant.

-Please be a good person who does not use power carelessly.

Well done-.

The necklace was what Alcmene was wearing at the time.

She considered this necklace like her heart. She did not tell Hercules who she had received it from.

‘Ares did this….’

Ares, the son of Zeus.

Why did he have this necklace?

It was clearly an item worth coveting. Items that can protect the body and store and use skills are not common.

Moreover, a necklace that was easy to wear was worthy of being coveted by high rankers.

But that didn’t matter.

The problem was ‘why’ was his mother’s necklace, which had been killed by the giants, in his hand?

An unresolved question.

‘Maybe that guy lied.’

And doubt.

That was when Hercules looked at the amusement park.

“That necklace can store and use three skills.”

Giiiing-.

Red light began to radiate through the necklace.

Hercules’ eyes trembled slightly.

Familiar mana.

“But unfortunately, only the user who saved the skill can use that skill.”

“No way ….”

[User confirmation has been completed.]

[The user is Hercules, the son of ‘Alkene’.]

[‘Memory of Necklace’ begins.

]

The energy surrounding Hercules.

If you resist, you may be able to resist.

But Hercules didn’t do that.

“I guess the skill was set to activate automatically when the necklace is returned to its owner.”

A skill that activates the moment the necklace is placed in Hercules’ hand.

It belonged to his mother Alcmene.

After a while.

The bright red mana that erupted from the necklace engulfed Hercules.

* * *

Although he was big compared to his peers, there was a really small newborn in front of me.

A small hand covers the back of the hand.

Hercules looked at himself, unable to even open his eyes properly.

‘Is this me?’

It was amazing.

Seeing myself so small.

It was a strange feeling.

He was laughing along with his mother’s feelings as she looked at him.

Alcmene was a beautiful woman with red hair. He was also the guild leader and ranker.

She gave birth to a child by Zeus, the king of Olympus.

Unwanted birth. But still she loved Hercules.

-son. My son…

Alcmene’s emotions as she held Hercules in her arms were conveyed clearly.

Memories of a necklace.

It had the ability to convey the emotions of Alcmene, who was wearing the necklace.

‘Mom…’

The scenery changed.

Hercules really grew up in the blink of an eye.

As a child, he survived a snake sent by Hera. Alcmene almost fainted when she saw Hercules squeezing the snake with one hand.

From an early age, Hercules grew up fighting with others.

Each time, Alcmene took the initiative and bowed her head.

Seeing that scene, Hercules thought that he should not use his fists carelessly.

How much time has passed?

Hercules passed the tutorial and became a decent player.

-Mom, I passed the test! His ranking is also higher than that of his father!

The first text I received from my son after receiving the player kit.

Alcmene smiled as she looked at it.

It was a truly bitter and poisonous laugh.

-Great! After all, my son.

I remembered.

The first text message exchanged with Alcmene using the player kit.

At the time, I thought he was proud of himself for passing the exam with good grades.

That wasn’t it.

“Why…”

The memory of the necklace reflected Alcmene’s appearance.

-How was the test? Wasn’t it difficult?

-okay? Have you made any friends?

-Good. Still, take some rest for now. Climb up too quickly and fall.

-Did you? Still…

“Why are you crying?”

Text messages exchanged casually.

She was shaking and crying and texting as if nothing had happened.

She hoped and hoped that this moment would never come.

“Why…”

I thought he would definitely be proud.

I thought that if I became an outstanding ranker and brought glory to Olympus, she would be happy if I put my energy into doing the right thing.

Was it not?

The necklace continued to reflect the times I missed.

After becoming a ranker, he visited Alcmene. Alcmene welcomed him as always and later met Zeus.

This great king of Olympus with flowing golden hair.

-Hercules has become a ranker.

-You are still young to jump into war.

As a mere ranker, she was not discouraged even in front of Zeus.

If he lifted a finger, she would die, but she held her head high.

The mother was now much weaker than her son.

-The war is still far away. The ranking can be raised by then. It will go up soon.

-Are you really planning on raising my son to be a weapon of war?

-Before he was your son, he was my son.

-no.

In front of the King of Olympus, she confidently shook her head.

-No matter how much blood flows in you, you are my son.

-…okay. That’s right.

Zeus nodded more easily than expected.

-Anyway, it doesn’t matter whose son it is.

For Alcmene, the most important thing was what to eat today, but for Zeus, the topic was as important as what to eat today.

He didn’t really care whose son it was.

Zeus had numerous children, and it was a well-known fact that he did not shower affection on all of them.

but.

‘Weapons of war?’

This conversation was not something to be ignored.

Weapons of war.

Something made, not a living person.

The war was planned a long time ago. Like Athena, sending a child who inherited his blood to the battlefield was at least not that big of a deal to Zeus.

However, sending a child to the battlefield and giving birth to a child to send to the battlefield are two completely different things.

-You are crazy.

Zeus, who was looking at the reflection of the water in the pond, looks back at Alcmene, who spoke venomously.

– Are you crazy?

-That’s right. In your eyes, doesn’t he only see weapons such as spears, swords and bows?

-If that’s the case, it’s similar. Of course, it is an excellent weapon that cannot be compared to anything like that.

-So you’re crazy. How can I tell my son….

-There are as many sons and daughters as there are. There are many women who want to give birth to my child.

-you!

-If only I could destroy the ceiling of this tower…

The ceiling of the tower.

That was a story that Hercules also grew up hearing.

It is said that there is a ceiling above this tower that no one has reached yet.

-I can make a second or third Hercules.

“Ha…”

I laughed out loud.

Your life was planned by someone.

A son born to be used in war. Alcmene knew about this and had been urging Hercules for a long time.

Don’t use your power carelessly.

Fortunately, Hercules was a fairly obedient son.

That was it.

The reason his mother died.

Chuck, chuck, chuck-.

Dozens of people besieging Alcmene.

Jeopuk-.

In it, someone steps forward.

A face I see for the first time.

However, Alcmene in the necklace’s memory clearly knew him.

– Ares.

The throne of war and struggle….

No, at this time, he was just a young chick who had not been in the ranks for very long.

Of course, around him were several rankers supported by Zeus.

-Are you Alcmene?

-okay.

-Then I guess there’s nothing more to say.

Chaang Chang-.

Dozens of rankers each took out weapons such as spears and swords.

Alcmene seemed to have sensed this moment for a long time, but her face was calm.

-Is the war about to start?

-okay.

-I’ve thought about many cases, and this is just like Zeus.

-Do not post that name carelessly.

-Now that I’m dying, can’t I say anyone’s name carelessly?

Feeling the wind blowing through the forest, Alcmene smiled self-deprecatingly.

Soon she looked at Ares, another son of Zeus.

-What number Hercules are you? Second? Or third?

-…

Ares did not answer.

He knew his situation well.

But I guess it didn’t matter.

Zeus’ faithful sword.

That was the way Ares lived.

-Quietly put your head out there.

The tip of Ares’ sword was pointed towards Alcmene.

Puzzle-.

Hercules’ eyes were bloodshot and his teeth were gritted.

-You died at the hands of a giant.

Weapons of war prepared for Gigantomachia.

It was completed with the death of Hercules’ mother Alcmene.
