12 hero
After receiving the system, Flux decided to see how the system works. Flux also opted to see other things such as his class and valuable information regarding the system.
In front of him, there is this system floating around his chest level, many words were engraved on it.
『Name: Flux Arcadia』
『Level: 1』
『Experience: 0/100』
『Class: Weapon Master/1 star』
『Mana: 598/2000』
『Title: Error』
『Money: 0』
『Store』 『Trade/Auction』
『Weapon Storage』 『Item Storage』
Once Flux had seen the contents of the system, he couldn't help himself but wonder. 'Hmm... Why does my title have an error on it? Is it a bug or something, perhaps, this only happens because I'd just got the system?'
To sort things out, Flux then took a glance at other people's systems. Some had titles and some with 'none' written on them.
This got Flux even more confused. It couldn't possibly be called a natural phenomenon right? There's no way this was naturally generated by the system. If Flux had achieved a title, it would be written there, however, why was it written as an error?
'No way, don't tell me the system itself had an error on it. If that's the reason, then this is a big problem. There's no telling if the system will function well or not, after all, this would also affect my levels or in other cases like my items just suddenly disappeared inside the storage.' These were the only possible thoughts to come out of Flux.
Under this circumstance, the feeling of anxiety behind Flux's poker face is by means acceptable, and he had no other choice but to ask for help from the angel. Even if it cost him revealing himself from the shadow. There is no other way for this.
However, just when he was about to start asking for help, the angel itself began to speak.
With a bright smile. "Oh, humans, it seems that the gods had decided to create the thirteenth hero. The hero who will bear all the responsibilities to take down the enemies of humankind for peace. The protector. And, a child that was entrusted to be a saint who will help the hero on his way to defeat evil."
Upon hearing what she said, a bright yellow system along with two seven-year-old kids of the opposite gender amidst the magic circle appeared in the eyes of everyone, It was Lizzy alfin and Axel.
"No way... Don't tell me..."
Some had shocked expressions on their face and some with tears falling from their eyes.
"Finally, the hero was born!!!" Someone shouted this in enthusiasm.
"Is this for real?"
"No way."
"God thank you!!! We, humans, are pleased by your decision"
(A/U: I don't know if this is the best reaction because I don't know other people's reactions to this situation.)
Albeit the appearance of a new hero, there were still some people with no reactions to this, Flux was among these very few people. And most of all, there is one person with hatred burning in his eyes.
Flux who was standing from a direction where he could see everyone instantly knew why Michael had that expression. It was an expression of unacceptable that leads him to make that hatred expression.
Although it's rare to see him like this, Flux had no intention of focusing his attention on that because there is only one thing that he needs to fix right now.
But then again, the angel spoke. "This is something to be celebrated about but, this will be my limit, I cannot stay in the human realm for too long therefore, I decided to give this gift to you, it's something I'd made for the new hero. Please take this."
The moment she said this, Axel received a message from his system.
『You'd received the Angel Wing Sword from the angel.』
"You won't be able to use it for now but I'm sure that you will use it for the better someday in the future," the angel remarked.
The sword had its blade made out of unknown steel and a feather of an angel as its guard and the handle also had runes imprinted on it.
The only person who can see this was Axel.
As the hero who will be the one to decide the future of the world, Axel made his gratitude not only to the gods but also to the angel in front of him. "As a hero, I swore to protect the world for peace and I swore that I will not fail your wishes and as a hero, I won't fail your expectations. With this sword, I will lead humanity to victory against evil."
"Long live the hero!!!"
After saying his speech, the people and the priest led by the pope said this simultaneously for the hope of mankind.
"Anyway, my time has come, I have to go back now..." The image of the angel gradually evaporated but then, she remembered something to tell. "Also, the system had no error, it's all based on the holder."
With that, her body made out of divine energy disappeared into thin air.
Flux who heard that instantly knew that those words were for him and that the angel had read his mind.
'I hope there was no further information extracted from me.' Thought Flux.
Naturally, in any isekai novel, there are always these gods to inform the main character about their purpose before reincarnating them. However, in Flux's case, it was different. He had never seen any God nor seen them even in just a few seconds. He just woke up and found out he was reincarnated.
'As such, Consequently to the angel action, being warry of the higher beings is better than letting them do whatever they want. Regardless of how good they are or not, regardless of how many wishes they can grant you, in this world, there is no evil, it's all about survival to become the greatest, no matter what methods needed to use.'
And in fact, the current hero and the previous heroes were the proof of this.
Flux took glanced at Lizzy and Axel. Then, to Michael who was about to murder someone.
"It is better to observe here for now" Flux muttered to himself.
The purpose is to see the classes of other kids in the same generation. Flux thought that this is the best way to know which one among them is the best choice to have a good relationship with for future references. The reason for that is simple, with the ongoing things currently happening, Flux has to get on good terms with a capable person. Although Flux already had someone in mind, it is wise to have more than one person that is willing to do everything for you.
No matter how strong a person can be some things cannot be done alone and can only be done by others.
After the observation for a while, Flux listed all the capable people inside his mind. There are many of them.
Michael: Dragon / 4 star.
Lizzy: Saint / 5 star.
Axel: Hero / 5 star.
Harley: Mage of Light / 4 star.
Lucas: Berserker / 3 star.
Harzy: Paladin / 3 star.
These people are what Flux had chosen to be on good terms with. Even though the success rate of becoming friends with them is still unknown or in the worst case, he failed, Flux had got nothing to worry about.
The whole purpose for this is clearly to have a good relationship with people that is about to become a high level in the future. If by chance they failed to produce Flux expectations, Flux had to remove them from the list.
That being said, it is still early to expect too much, and given the time, there are still ways to make a name for themselves.
'Well, for now, I have to escape. I can see Harley rushing to his parents to tell them that I'm here.' With that in mind, Flux swiftly disappeared from his spot.
20 minutes after escaping from the temple.
Somewhere in the capital.
Flux who was on his way to the bank, however, Flux decided to take a detour and stay in a small restaurant.
His demeanor is indeed strange, however, Flux had a purpose as to why he came here to take a break.
He took a paper and a pen, before writing something on it. Then, a crow who was flying above seemingly trying to find someone landed on the terrace of the restaurant where Flux was currently staying. This indicated that he finally found the right person.
This crow is a trained pet. It could mark its owner after being familiar with it for a few years, As such, finding Flux the owner of this crow can just be done in a matter of time. Also, this crow has the ability to communicate, for that reason, Flux immediately covered its mouth just a few seconds after his arrival.
"I know I know so don't talk about it and give this letter to mother."
"..."
The crow did not dare talk any further and this indicates that Flux had guessed the one who sent him correctly.
After receiving the letter from Flux, the crow immediately flew toward his second owner or should I say Flux's mother.
***
At a distant distance, Fleya along with her siblings and father, waited from outside of the temple for the crow to come back and make a report on the whereabouts of Flux.
Fleya is the real name of Flux's mother. And as a mother, she had to know what's her son doing.
Earlier, she almost couldn't hold the tension when she didn't see the face of his son when the ritual started. Luckily, at the end of the ritual, Harley reported that he saw Flux earlier during the ritual, meaning to say that he was able to get the system which put an end to her anxiety.
Although that ended her anxiety, Fleya hadn't seen her son's face yet which is considered enough to make a suspicion about Flux's current circumstance.
That's because Flux did not come back to the mansion and from Harley's report, it was stated that he had an eye patch covering his right eye.
Normally, Flux wouldn't do something unnecessary unless something strange happened to him.
After waiting for quite some time, the crow came back with a letter attached to its mouth.
Fleya had strange thoughts about this but that ended soon. She took the letter and read the contents.
"What does it say?" Asked wades.
The others were silent but Wades is the grandfather and had the right to know everything.
After reading the contents, Fleya answered. "it says that I'd have to confront him alone"
Her answer is enough to make the people around her confused. But among them, there are still some that understood the meaning behind this.
Wades after hearing her gave a slight nod. "I see. This is a matter between mother and son. Therefore, even I the grandfather have no reasons to know the reasons behind this. However, I will expect a definite answer from you after hearing him out." Then he turn his head and added. "We have to go now, we have to celebrate at home for the classes these kids received. Also, we will wait for you and that kid"
Fleya gave a nod and immediately disappeared from her position.
