The Statement, 'James Mrakilin created the 6 rings of power' is partially incorrect. Sure, James Mrakilin did create the 6 rings but he was not the one who gave it power. In fact, James Mrakilin merely discovered the power.

Year 2018: Unknown location

In a deserted land with no civilization in sight, a man covered in sand covered drapes digs down the Earth. As he digs with his shovel, he hits a metal object. He unearths it to find a heavy metal box and inside it, were 6 stones and a piece of paper. The stones each were black but in each of them, a different colour glowed within.

When the man opened the paper, it was written in a language that was lost to time. But the man, who was a scholar, was able to read it. It said,

'All power combined, is a wrath unleashed. Embrace it if you dare for the world calls upon you'

Year 2022: Pre-Built Mrakilin Headquarters.

William follows James into a room, carved into the side of a mountain.

"How did you build this?! This is... wild!" William exclaims.

'That's... what I wanted to show you Will.' James replied. He took out the old metallic box he'd found in the sand and opened it in front of Will. Inside the box were 5 rings. The Rings were beautifully carved from Obsidian and the Glowing rocks were fused within their obsidian frame.

"You're gonna wanna sit down for this one, okay?" James asked Will. Will complied, although slightly sceptical about it.

James started to explain,

"Back in the times of the Greek Gods like Zeus, Hermes and Ares, The Gods and Ares, The God of war, fought a war against each other over control of the Earth. When Ares won, he demanded that the Gods never go down to Earth or influence Humanity in whatever way they wish. Things must happen naturally."

"Okay... I see" William said

James continued, "But Ares knew Zeus and the other Gods could not be trusted so, he took the powers of the most powerful and dangerous Gods, Including his own and threw them somewhere deep into the Earth so the Gods could never get their powers and wreak havoc again."

"Right, What are you trying to say?" William asked

"Just wait, I'm getting to the good stuff" James replied.

James kept the box of Rings on a table beside William and continued,

"I found that Metal box with 6 stones in it, I forged those 6 stones into Rings. Those 6 Rings each contain the powers of the Gods I just told you about." James smirked once he finished saying it.

William got up, and said, "Okay, I'm impressed how great of a length you've gone to prank me James but come on, seriously? Gods?"

James held his hand and said, "Okay, wait! I can prove it to you. But we'd need to go to the Mountain cliff for that." William sighed and agreed. Both of them went to the top of the mountain. James stood at the edge of the Cliff, William stood about 30 Meters away from James, as per James's request.

"Ready!?" James shouted and William replied, "YEAH!"

James got in a running position and his blue rings started to glow and just like that, in a flash, James was in front of William. William falls down from the shock.

"What the- That- But you were- HOW?" William stuttered, lost for words at this act.

James helps William get up and explains. "Each ring has the power of a God. I got Hermes, the God of Speed but the 'skill' of the God you have, changes based on your interpretation of it."
