Titan King: Ascension of the Giant

Orion Stoneheart

Hulk was a pro football player, a guy who loved nothing more than clutching a pigskin and barreling through the defense like a runaway freight train. He lived for the gridiron.

But he never, in his wildest dreams, imagined he'd see a pair of nipples bigger than a football.

The moment he opened his eyes, Hulk was dumbfounded.

He wanted to yell, "What the fuck?!" but all that came out was a pathetic "Wah! Wah!"

"My voice…" He was shocked, trying again, but only managing another infantile wail. The horrifying realization dawned on him: he was a baby. Again.

He strained to look around, finding himself swaddled in soft cloth. Towering over him were giants, massive and rugged, each one several times his former height. Other than their size, they looked remarkably human.

Hearing his cries, the giantess holding him gazed down with loving eyes. Her voice, deep and gentle, rumbled, "My little one must be hungry. Come now, eat your fill. All this is for you."

With that, she brought a nipple, the size of a goddamn football, close to Hulk's mouth.

Hulk's eyes widened, his inner turmoil a raging storm. Before he could react, a torrent of milk erupted, practically drowning him in the stuff.

He had to gulp it down or risk choking. His tiny stomach quickly filled, stretched to its absolute limit.

After his milk bath, Hulk's memory began to return.

He remembered leading his team to the National Championship, followed by a relaxing vacation in Hawaii, basking in the warm sun. Sunlight glistened on the golden sand, a gentle breeze carrying the scent of the ocean.

He was chilling on the beach, engrossed in a web novel on his phone, when he felt something splat on his face.

"Damn, bird poop?"

Hulk instinctively wiped his face. It was sticky, and strangely… hot.

"The hell is this stuff?"

He brought his hand into view. His eyes went wide.

It was blood. And it seemed to be… alive. It slithered down his chest, seeping into his skin, merging with his very heart.

"What the… Am I hallucinating?"

Hulk rubbed his eyes, staring at his hands.

Suddenly, the sky darkened. He looked up to see a figure in outer space, larger than Earth itself. A giant, of unimaginable proportions.

The giant's body eclipsed the sun, plunging the world into shadow.

Then, a trident, too massive to describe, descended from the heavens, crashing into the ocean. A colossal wave erupted, the earth quaked, the world seemed to be ending. People screamed and scattered.

But Hulk didn't panic. He closed his eyes, waiting for the inevitable.

What could puny humans do against such a cataclysmic force?

As darkness closed in, one thought crossed his mind: "Fuck me, my vacation might have to end early."

…

Time seemed to stop. Everything went blank.

Maybe a microsecond passed, maybe a millennium.

When Hulk's consciousness returned, he wasn't on a Hawaiian beach anymore. He was in a strange forest, surrounded by towering trees, exotic plants he'd never seen before, the air thick with the scent of earth.

As he tried to process his surroundings, a giant figure approached. At least fifteen feet tall, muscles rippling, arms like tree trunks. His deep brown skin gleamed in the sunlight, short black hair framing a rugged face, his eyes shining with warmth.

"Phoebe, let me hold him!"

The giant lunged forward, but a slightly smaller giantess deftly sidestepped him.

"Hyperion Stoneheart, you're the chieftain now, but you're still a brute! Our son is just born, he's fragile. Be gentle!"

"Haha, alright, alright."

Hyperion gently scooped up Hulk, his face beaming with paternal pride.

"Praise the Titan Gods! I have a son! His name shall be Orion Stoneheart!"

Newbie quest triggered

Time flew by, and before he knew it, Orion was already ten years old.

He gradually adapted to life in this new world. Despite their massive size, the people of the giant tribe were warm and welcoming, especially his family.

His father was the chieftain of the Blackstone Tribe, tall and formidable; his mother was gentle and caring, always attentive to his needs; and his sister, Clymene, was his closest companion in this world.

Orion and his tribe lived in the Black Forest of the Barren Mountains, a vast and mysterious land. Various races and creatures inhabited the mountains, competing and coexisting with one another.

In the summer, the Black Forest was vibrant and lush, but in winter, the climate turned harsh. Fierce winds howled, snow fell heavily, and terrifying dark beast tide sometimes appeared.

For the species of the Barren Mountains, winter was the toughest time. All tribes chose to rest during the season, rarely venturing out.

It was midsummer now, with sunlight filtering through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Orion sat on a large rock, gazing at the distant, rolling mountains.

A familiar voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey, little guy, daydreaming again?"

He turned to see Clymene approaching. His sister, fifteen years his senior, was already recognized as the strongest giant in the tribe. She was tall, with smooth muscle lines and red short hair. 

Though considered a symbol of beauty and strength among the giants, Orion always thought his sister looked a bit too 'robust.'

Even though Orion was now part of the giant tribe, he still retained human aesthetics.

"Sis, you're back." Orion smiled.

Clymene placed her catch on the ground and patted his head, saying, "Look, I brought you your favorite wild boar meat, freshly hunted!"

"Thanks, sis," Orion said gratefully.

On Earth, his appetite far exceeded that of ordinary people, even winning eating competition. But in the giant tribe, he had the smallest appetite.

"You're looking thinner again," Clymene observed, scrutinizing him. "Have you been sneaking off to slack instead of training?"

Orion scratched his head sheepishly. "No, I just like being alone sometimes, to think about things."

Clymene chuckled, shaking her head. "You always overthink. While other kids are training hard, you can't fall behind. Our father has high hopes for you!"

Orion nodded, feeling a bit bitter. Though his body was much stronger than a human's, he seemed weak among the giants.

"Oh, by the way, here's the tool you wanted. I fixed it for you." Orion handed her a modified stone axe, fitted with a sharp stone blade he crafted.

Clymene took it with delight. "Wow, you really fixed it! You're amazing!"

"Just a little skill," Orion smiled modestly.

"Don't be so humble. Your craftsmanship is unmatched in the tribe," Clymene praised. "With this axe, my next hunt will be much easier!"

"Be careful out there, sis," Orion advised.

"Don't worry, your sister isn't that easy to take down!" Clymene patted his shoulder happily. "I've made you a new beast skirt from soft buffalo hide. Try it on."

"No need, the one I have is fine," Orion replied.

Clymene ignored him, pulling off his old skirt and starting to fit him with the new one.

Orion sighed, "Sis, I'm ten now. I'm grown up."

"I've watched you grow up. There's nothing on you I haven't seen," Clymene said seriously, her gaze falling on Orion's cock. "You're small in stature, but your cock is so big. My dear brother, when you grow up, you'll have countless women going crazy for you!"

Orion put on the new skirt his sister made, feeling much more comfortable.

It seemed his sister was right. Orion's body was developing rapidly, especially his cock. It seemed to grow longer and larger every day, and his old skirt no longer fit.

The Barren Mountains had short daylight hours, even in summer, with no more than five hours of sunlight each day.

Soon, darkness fell.

Back home, his mother had prepared dinner. His father was also home, having finished discussing matters with the tribe elders, and was resting by the fire.

"Orion, come sit," Hyperion called.

Orion went over and sat down. Hyperion looked at him with expectation. "I heard you fixed your sister's weapon again?"

"Yes, Father," Orion replied.

"Good, you're quite handy," his father praised. "But strength is the true asset of our giant tribe. You mustn't neglect physical training."

Orion nodded. "I understand, Father."

Three nights later, Orion went to a clearing alone. The night deepened, stars twinkling above. He gazed at the sky, pondering his situation.

"Though I've been reborn as a giant, my physical prowess doesn't match theirs. Why is that?" He clenched his fists, feeling the boundless energy within him, yet still unable to compare to his kin.

Just then, a faint light flashed before his eyes. He paused, looking down to see a semi-transparent panel appear before him.

"What is this?" Orion stared at the panel in surprise, which displayed a series of information:

——

[Name: Orion]

[Race: Giant]

[Level: standard]

[Age: 10 years]

[Height: 7 feet]

[Weight: 500 pounds]

[Strength: 5 (average for same-age giants is 10)]

[Agility: 3 (average for same-age giants is 5)]

[Intelligence: 8 (average for same-age giants is 3)]

Title: Survivor

Special:

Path of Evolution: As a survivor in this world, though your current level is ordinary, your strength will gradually increase with age. Of course, if you're ambitious, you can accelerate your growth through quests.

——

Orion's eyes widened with excitement. "Is this... a cheat code?"

He had heard of reincarnates gaining special abilities, but he hadn't triggered his until now. Reading the panel, he saw his strength and agility were below average for giants.

At ten years old, Orion stood 7 feet tall, but among the giant tribe, he was the smallest for his age.

He wasn't particularly concerned about his height, seeing a large body as a burden. What he cared about was strength and explosiveness.

"What should I do to increase my strength?"

As Orion pondered, the panel provided a prompt.

[Newbie Quest Triggered: Do 100 push-ups, Strength +1]

How to make it hard?

100 push-ups, a relatively simple task.

Orion immediately placed his hands on the ground and began his push-ups.

Despite his massive body being quite heavy, the giant's physical prowess made the push-ups almost effortless.

Orion quickly completed the hundred.

[Newbie task completed, reward: Strength +1]

A voice echoed in his mind, and Orion noticed his arms seemed a bit more muscular, and he felt stronger.

"Not bad, let's test it out."

Orion scanned his surroundings and locked his gaze on a large boulder.

[Irregular Granite Boulder]

[Weight: 1500 pounds]

Orion stood beside the boulder, crouched down, and firmly grasped the base with both arms.

"Heave-ho, up!"

The yellow earth beneath his feet sank half an inch as the boulder wobbled off the ground, dust cascading down.

Thud!

He released his grip, and the boulder crashed back to the ground.

Orion rubbed his hands together, feeling that this was his limit. Although he could barely lift it, it was quite strenuous.

However, he couldn't lift it at all before, so the +1 strength was clearly effective.

As Orion pondered, the panel appeared with a new prompt:

[Newbie task triggered, do 500 push-ups, time limit 10 minutes, Strength +1]

"Alright, a new challenge."

Orion was pleased. If he could keep completing tasks like this, he might become the strongest giant in the tribe in no time!

But as he calmed down, Orion felt a bit daunted.

500 push-ups in ten minutes?

Compared to the previous task, the difficulty had skyrocketed, mainly due to the strict 10-minute limit.

It worked out to about 0.8 push-ups per second?

Orion glanced at his massive body, thinking it seemed a bit too challenging.

"Wait, the task didn't specify that the push-ups had to be done with perfect form."

Orion had an idea.

The time limit was strict, but there was no requirement for perfect form, so he could simplify some parts.

Orion immediately lay on the ground, supporting himself with his hands. He didn't use his arms or upper body, only lifting his hips and using his waist, like making love, repeatedly thrusting against the ground.

"1, 2, 3..."

"289, 290, 291..."

"...499, 500!"

He quickly completed the 500, and the system's voice followed.

[Newbie task completed, reward: Strength +1]

"Nice!"

Orion felt his body brimming with strength, and even the fatigue vanished.

He could try lifting that boulder again, and this time it felt like it wouldn't take much effort!

Plus, he discovered a loophole in the newbie tasks!

Then, the panel displayed another prompt:

[Newbie task triggered, do 1000 push-ups, must be standard form, time limit 30 minutes, Strength +1]

Orion: "Holy shit."

Damn, the loophole got patched quickly.

The task updated to 1000 push-ups in 30 minutes, seemingly easier, but not really.

It's like requiring a 14-second 100-meter sprint but allowing 4 minutes for 1000 meters. The latter seems more lenient but is actually harder to achieve.

Because stamina depletes during exercise, endurance is often tougher than bursts.

1000 push-ups in 30 minutes, with standard form, was nearly impossible for Orion at 500 pounds.

Orion thought for a moment, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Wait, the tribe's shamans might have potions, and there could be something useful!

Orion rummaged through his parents' storage bags, searching.

"So many things, I'll just have to look around..."

[Vibrating Eggplant]

[Length: 17 inches]

Function: A specialty of the Black Forest, capable of high-frequency vibrations.

Description: A lady's favorite

...

[Sexy Bra]

[Size: FFFFFFF]

Description: Only a ship's sail might need fabric this large

...

[Beast skin condom]

[Durability: 0/100]

Description: For some reason, there's a hole at the tip

...

"So, is this why I came to this world?"

"Mom and Dad's collection is quite something. Why is there a condom?"

After a bemused search, Orion finally found what he was looking for.

[Endurance Potion]

[Attribute: Alchemical Product]

[Effect: Increases stamina and strength for 30 minutes, but causes a 10-minute weakness afterward]

"This is it!"

Orion uncorked the bottle and drank the potion.

The orange-red liquid burned down his throat, spreading warmth through his body, filling him with energy!

"I feel it!"

Orion immediately started doing push-ups.

The invigorating sensation was exhilarating, his body moving so fast it left a slight afterimage!

He quickly completed the thousand push-ups.

Orion clapped his hands, impressed by the alchemist's potion. He didn't even break a sweat after 1000 push-ups.

[Newbie task completed, reward: Strength +1]

The familiar sensation returned, along with a new prompt on the panel:

[Newbie task triggered, do 100 one-handed push-ups, Strength +1]

Orion glanced at it and immediately began.

The potion's effects were still active, so he had to make the most of it.

...

[Newbie task completed, reward: Strength +1]

...

[Newbie task triggered, do 200 one-handed push-ups, time limit 5 minutes...]

[Newbie task completed, reward: Strength +1]

...

[Newbie task triggered, do 200 one-handed push-ups with each hand, time limit 10 minutes...]

[Newbie task completed, reward: Strength +1]

Taking advantage of the endurance potion, Orion completed all the one-handed challenges, gaining +3 strength, bringing his total to 11!

Great, now he could easily lift that 1500-pound boulder!

Just as Orion was about to try, a new task prompt appeared in his mind, leaving him speechless.

[Newbie task triggered, do 10 push-ups without using hands, Strength +1]

Push-ups without using hands?!

Besides hands, what other support could there be...

Orion paused, looking at his cock.

"Should... it hold?"

"But not when it's soft, it needs to be hard."

How to make it hard?
