CHAPTER 2

*Early morning*

MIKA POV

Wake up Fleshbag

I woke up with a gasp at the sudden voice in my head.

What was that?

I'm confused about where that voice came from and then last night's events hit me. I looked around and found myself back at my bed, in the convent, with Alice sleeping by my side.

It was just a dream thank Celestine

I sighed in relief knowing the events last night was just a horrid dream.

It wasn't a dream Fleshbag.

I froze as the voice came back again. This time it's clear to me to hear. It sounds like a girl's voice but with a dull tone in her voice.

Look down here Fleshbag.

Where?

I'm right here.

I felt a small weight on my chest. Slowly, I leaned my head down to look up at what was on my chest. I'm afraid of what I would see from last night's experience.

There's a glowing small figure on my chest. It looked like a fairy. I can't see its features due to the glow but I can see its feminine silhouette. I'm dumbfounded as to why a fairy is on my chest. Fairies are rare elusive creatures that are considered myths and I'm currently seeing one now.

" What?" my mouth dumbly said.

Quiet Fleshbag, you can speak to me in your mind. No point in making you look crazy and your girl is still asleep so keep it shut.

"How"

Just think out loud Fleshbag.

Like this?

Finally, some privacy. Now let's talk, any questions?

You said last night was not a dream, what was it?

That was my creator bestowing me to you as his gift.

Huh? Wait a moment, your creator? Who is that? And why would he give you to me?

In order. Yes, my creator. No, you can't meet it will break your mind. I was given to you as his blessing, I don't know the conditions why but I'm given to you by my creator to become your system.

System?

A system is a power that is bestowed to a mortal allowing them to climb to infinite power.

What?

I forgot this planet is too primitive to understand my complexity.

Hey, are you calling me stupid?

Yes, let me simplify my function for you. I am capable of giving you the ability to grow in power infinitely.

What do you mean by that?

Are you daft? I said I'm capable of giving the ability to grow in power. It means many things. You want immeasurable strength, I can give it to you one day. Want to be the hero of the story, so I can do that too. I was given to you by my creator so that you can create your own story. Do you understand?

You mean if I wish to be the strongest you can grant it to me?

Yes and No

Huh? I don't understand

I can grant your wish but you need to work for it. I'm not allowed to instantly give you your wish. Instead, I can make it faster for you to attain it.

How?

By allowing you to use ancient weapons of war from another world.

Huh? I was dumbfounded by this revelation. Other worlds, weapons of war, I couldn't fathom all of it.

You don't believe me, Master. Well, might as well show you.

What do you mean?

My head exploded in pain as memories started to enter my mind. Memories from a distant world unlike my own. The differences between our worlds are so vast I can't even fathom how this world could achieve great heights in power without the usage of magic. Instead of using magic, I saw their civilization make weapons. Weapons that terrifies me as I witnessed the destruction and sheer carnage they wrought. Guns, it was called. For something so small it changed how the world wages its wars. I saw them build great ships of metal. They soared through the skies up beyond the heavens where deep darkness claimed everything. It was the most beautiful thing I witnessed. The vastness of emptiness stretched all around beyond my sight, I can't tell where it ends. In this great sea above the heavens, I watched as they built much bigger ships. I saw countless people live inside each one of them. They look so peaceful. It was shattered immediately as a new memory came. It was a great fleet of blue metal ships(warships). I corrected myself as I saw the guns attached to them. I watched as they slowly sailed toward another fleet of green warships. After a few moments, their guns sang death. I watched as they slaughtered each other in wanton destruction. I can do nothing as I watched and heard countless people die in this memory. Then I felt it, something was coming. I turned my head towards the direction of this pressure. From the distant stars, I can barely see it. A red figure blitzed toward the battlefield leaving behind a red trail in his wake. I can only watch in awe as it passes over me. In that brief instant, I can see it in its full glory. It was a red knight. Its armor is bulky yet it managed to move so fast into the battlefield. Its helmet is akin to a Cyclops. Terrifying creatures of destruction in Eostia, only terrorizing the mountains. The red knight showed its might against the blue fleet. It battered against ships. Firing salvos of ammunition with unbelievable grace. Ships started to deploy all they have, firing all they have against the red knight. The red knight flew all around their attacks, none ever coming close to him even once. He is like a red comet blitzing around each attack. Death never came close to him. He brought out his ax and smashed one ship with a mighty blow. The memory faded away. A new memory started to form this time. A ruined city with no life. 4 knights unlike the red knight but their colors are green. They walk through the ruins looking for something. Out of nowhere one of them exploded in a visceral display of blood. The remaining 3 went alert and put their backs to each other. They are afraid. Their only eye is looking around wildly for the unknown attacker. Not long after another one of them died. His head was gone from another attack they never saw coming. The last remaining 2 started to run, to run away from the devil that hunts them. Suddenly it came, it burst out of the ruined structures of the city. It snagged one of the green knights and smashed him into another structure with it, covering both in the dust. The last green knight looks behind him hoping for his friend to come out as dust covers the ruined building. Fear replaced hope. A silhouette with two horns akin to a devil stood up inside the dust. It draws out its weapon. Blue flame ignited from its hilt, as the devil charged its last victim. The green knight can do nothing as its flaming sword pierced him, snuffing out his life. The unknown attacker finally showed itself. A white knight decked in blue and red colors. Its V-shaped horns give it an image akin to a devil. The white devil. The memory faded again. The new memory went back to the endless sea again. I gawk in awe as I look at the biggest piece of rock I've ever seen in my life. It's more like a floating island in this endless sea. I watched as a full-blown war started. Countless ships and knights waged war. I saw the white devil again, this time he is fighting something much bigger. It's the biggest-looking knight I have ever seen, bigger than the orcs killed by the knight. The white devil struggled to fight this behemoth as it completely separated its body, making them fly and attack the white devil from all angles. This is such a bizarre ability but it was able to fight the white devil on equal grounds. The memory faded and another one emerged and another, another, another. Countless memories of wars, from different times and other worlds bombarded me. Each one features a knight of great power to change the whole war. The vision ended not before seeing a dark figure. So dark I can't see anything that describes it. Only its wide smiling mouth with rows of sharp teeth is its indication of being there.

I gasped as the vision finally ended. The fairy is still there on my chest waiting for me.

Now do you understand Master?

Yes, understand now. With this, I can finally be a hero and stay with Sister Margaret and Alice.

Yes, Master, I will help you in every step toward your dream. Now this is your main menu master.

WAR-ROOM

SHOP

WORLD TOUR

WAR-ROOM = serves as your storage and equipment system for your weapons and armor. You can also research and develop armor here.

SHOP = Here you can buy new armor and ability perks to enhance yourself and your equipment

WORLD TOUR = This allows you to go to past events where you can fight and earn credits for your use in the shop.

Master, let's continue this another time. Alice is waking up.

The fairy suddenly winked out of existence as Alice stirred beside him. Looks like I took a long time talking to that fairy. Alice only wakes up in time to eat breakfast every day. I stroked her head gently, her blond locks felt so soft, as I looked down at her with a smile. She slowly started to wake up from my hand, her eyes slowly opening to adjust to the room's dim lights.

"Good morning, Alice," I said to her. I then gave her a small on her forehead.

Alice is an affectionate elf, giving hugs and kisses to those she considered family and friends. When she first came to the convent, she squeezed me so hard Sister Margaret had to keep me alive. Elves are stronger than humans after all. Their magic is powerful and ancient, making them perfect spellcasters. Alice has powerful healing magic as a child. She took a pilgrimage to Feoh from her homeland to serve Celestine. She ended up becoming an apprentice to Sister Margaret who is nearing her retirement. Alice had become an important addition to the outpost. Her affectionate demeanor wormed her way into the hearts of everyone. It was agreed unofficially that if the outpost falls to monsters, everyone will protect Alice with their lives to get her out of there. But now, I have power. Power to not only protect but to push back the monsters out of Eostia. I will become a hero for you, Alice.
