1 Chapter 1 Ajearaa

Inside of an extravagant room, there's a kid sleeping soundly in his bed.

Not much time has pass, the kid woke up looking surprised and confused. However, the kid didn't cry and sat quietly probably figuring what just happened.

Inside the kid's body is a grown man in his late twenties who lived a somewhat normal life. He chose to end his life because of some reason. He knows he's just being a coward and he's escaping reality.

However, the man didn't regret his decision to end his life. In fact, he's feeling grateful that his lonely life in Earth is finally coming to an end.

But, when he lose his consciousness and accepting that it's the end for him there's a bizarre phenomena occured. He found himself in a quiet dark place, it feels that this place is the beginning and the end of all eternity.

Suddenly, a being with a pair of beautiful white wings and has a ring like thing floating in it's head, appears. It's an angel, but, that's the only thing you can see about the angel. For some reason the man can't see his face or his body, so he doesn't know if the angel is a man or a woman. The angel told many significant things to the man.

The angel told the man that ending his own life is a grave sin. However, the Gods gave him a second chance to live, but this time it's not on Earth but in another world when magic, demons, dragons and other things you can only see in story, is the norm.

The man is delighted to hear it, but it's too soon to celebrate because the angel is not done talking yet. The angel added that the man must protect this world at any cost or if he fail to do so, he will die.

The angel also added that the Gods will grant him the power to protect the world and he will be reborn as a royalty to make his life easier so he can focus on protecting the world.

The man felt overwhelmed at first because of the huge responsibility, however, he decided that in this life he won't run away anymore and won't make the same mistake he did in his past life.

That's the reason behind the kid's stupefied expression. Minutes have passed and the man, or rather, the kid is finally calmed down.

He got off in his comfortable bed and walked to the mirror in another corner of the room.

"Wow. I'm a good looking one huh."

The kid said looking satisfied. With a combination of gray hair, golden eyes and slightly dark skin and on top of that a handsome face despite being a kid. He is sure, that once he grow up, many women will fall for him. Thinking of it makes the kid grin widely.

A knock on the door brought the kid back to the present.

"Young Master Ajearaa. Is there a problem in there? I heard a weird noise coming from inside. Also, His Majesty is calling for you."

A relaxing voice of a woman can be heard from the other side of the door. The kid whose name is Ajearaa walked toward the door and opened it. The moment he saw the maid his expression turned into an admiration one.

The maid, who barely in her early twenties looked beautiful, some might even suspect that she's not a maid but a noble or even a royalty because of how she looks. The maid has a short black hair only reaching her shoulder, a brown eyes and a well balanced proportion of womanhood.

She's so beautiful and despite being a made, she had an aura of elegance ang dignity around her. It's no wonder the kid looks like he got charmed.

"Young Master, is there anything wrong with my face?"

The maid called out to her master realizing the kid is staring at her face for some time now.

"Huh? Ah... no, there's nothing." Ajearaa stuttered, he then exited his room, "Guide me to where father right now." he said with a serious look in his eyes as to change the conversation.

The maid replied with a 'Yes' and walked in front of Ajearaa as she showed the way and Ajearaa decided to follow her lead from behind.

While walking to a huge hallway befitting of a royal castle, Ajearaa remembers the 'power' that the angel mention.

The angel didn't explained fully what his objective and what are the threat in this world that he needs to fight. However, the angel said that he can ask his remaining question to the [System] the power he will received from the Gods once he reincarnated. After saying that, the angel disappeared without a trace and the man lost his consciousness before he becames Ajearaa.

Now is the time to use this [System] and look for an answer. Ajearaa thought to himself, he didn't know how to use it since the angel didn't mentioned it but he had an idea from reading novels and mangas in his past life.

"[System]" Ajearaa murmured, imagining a window like thing he saw in mangas from his previous life.

As he thought, there's a window like thing in front of him that pops out from nowhere. However, it's blank there's no letter whatsoever in it, which he didn't expect.

Why? Ajearaa thought scratching his head loudly.

The maid notice the screeching sound he makes scratching his head.

"I know you don't want to comb your hair because it's bothersome for you, but, you can't meet His Majesty looking like that, Young Master."

She then hurriedly grab a comb inside of her pocket and combed Ajearaa's hair.

It only took a few seconds but Ajearaa's hair turn to normal. The [System] didn't vanished in Ajearaa's eyes all this time, however, the beautiful maid can't seem to see it. Confirming Ajearaa's assumption that he's the only one who can see it, and, that there's nothing wrong with the [System].

(How I can use this [System]?) Ajearaa said inside his mind hoping that there's someone who knows the answer.

[Just talk to me inside your mind like you just did now.]

Alas, the [System] answered him. Ajearaa took his time to read the answer of it.

(Can you just answer me normally because reading all your answer from now on, would be a huge waste of time.)

[Of course, I can.]

The [System] answered nonchalantly. This time Ajearaa didn't read it, but instead, heard a female artificial intelligence like voice, inside his head.

(Oh... telepathy, now it's better. I have a lot of question I want to ask of you but for now... I want to know what happened to the real Ajearaa?)

The Ajearaa now remembered his past life, he ended his life but, he didn't want other people to suffer like him and lose their own life while they're still young. And so, he wants to know what happened to the real owner of his body.

[The real Ajearaa is you. The body you're using right now is an avatar the angel made for you to use. It's appearance is base on your parents in this world and it's personality before you possessed it is based on your personality when you're still alive on Earth. That's why you can act normally and no one will suspect that you suddenly change.]

Ajearaa remembered how the maid acted when he scratched his head earlier as if it's she's already know his habit of scratching his head.

They almost near the King's chamber so Ajearaa decided to asked one more question hurriedly.

(Is there something that can help me in my objective? Just anything.)

[There is. First, you have another power beside me called {Stash}. That bast-, ahem... Unlike the knowledgeable me who can answer all your questions. {Stash} on the other hand, can give you any kind of power you can think of. However, there's five different abilities he will show once every month and you can only choose one. I don't want to talk about that thing so you can just asked it later.]

The [System] talked about {Stash}, the other power Ajearaa received from the Gods, with disgust and hatred.

Ajearaa didn't think that the [System] has a side like that and wondered if the {Stash} is the same. However, he knows the [System] isn't done yet since he heard it say 'first' earlier so he quickly concluded that there must be a 'second'. Just a moment later, the [System] started talking in his mind again confirming his conclusion.

[Second, is the 'Crusaders'. You don't need to worry about this one because you will meet them by fate. I will give you a notice if there's a Crusader one nearby so you can see them. Once you meet them, you need to nurtured their ability and protect them from harm or from becoming evil. After all, they're the one who needs to protect this world if you're not here.]

Ajearaa's glad there's people who can help him and he's excited to know what kind of ability is {Stash}. He wanted to called it right now but there's only a few more steps before he reached the king's chamber. For now, he need to see the king, he's curious to see his father in this world and to know what kind of a man is him. Knowing that the steps he would make in the future are depending on the king's personality and his relationship to him.

Ajearaa is finally in front of the door. He asked the maid its name and thank her.
