Zeon van Zahakkan

It's been a year since I'm born in this world.

Yeah.. The world is on the brink of apocalypse with races, heroes, villains, gods, and demons rampaging through the universe.

The novel world titled The Villain Eradicated All Death Flag In The Apocalyptic Universe.

Sadly, the author dropped it before writing any proper ending.

For a year, I've been experimenting with the system that I got.

Now, I understand some point about the system that I had

First, when I fail to choose the option given by the system in a minute, the system will automatically shut down for the whole day.

Second, the option can be chosen through the mind. After choosing an option and failing to do the following action, I won't get the reward.

Third, the reward given by the system is only miniscule amount of status points. For now I only see rewards that enhance my strength.

'Sigh.. My system is too weak to be a system right?'

'This is definitely a failed product thrown away by some higher beings in this universe'

'I mean.. Look at another novel's protagonist..'

'I have been through a lot of novel to understand novel with system cliche'

'Some system have generous reward'

'Another system feels like a conscious grandpa that can communicate and protect you'

'Shop, note, currency, artifact, dedicated space magic, and many other features'

'Fortunately, at least my system didn't give any harsh penalty when I failed'

Today is my 1st birthday.

It's been a year since the last time I've seen my father.

His hair has become a lot longer than last time.

'Thinking for a moment, did the baby not grow hair when it was still a child ?'

'Maybe later it will grow'

'Looking at my father and mother, my hair will definitely grow beautifully like some long yellow spiky elite war race from that specific show in my previous life'

'Perfect.. At least in this life I will have a characteristic of the protagonist!'

'Hahahaha.. hahahaha..'

In the garden full with different species of beautiful flowers on the back of the white palace, a well decorated birthday party is being held to celebrate The Pope youngest grandson's 1st birthday. Many high ranking church staff and businessmen in Zahakkan Holy Empire come bringing some little presents to make connections with the church.

Emily holding and looking at his little child beside a small but elegant birthday cake. She's good at cooking, especially baking a cake.

'John named our child Zeon, it's really a good name with a similar phrase to his name.'

'I have been taking care of Zeon for about a year because it's the most important time for a child's growth period.'

'After today, I need to continue my work as an arcbishop in the new branch near The Federation headquarter.'

'I hear a new academy is still being built there in The Central City.'

'I am a little worried about Zeon and a little guilty too.'

'But work is still important to keep the safety and progress of humanity.'

'Many branches of the church on the human side are still needed to spread the holy one teaching and tending to people in need.'

'The church personnel mobilization is still needed because even at this time the border is not safe.'

'Many wounded runic soldiers on the border always need our support.'

We also need to be aware of the demon contractor and criminal organization that have become bigger lately.'

'From the many creatures that come to earth only the elves and the dwarves have made a truce with our human side.'

'The orcs despise weakling.'

'The oceanic creature dominates the sea and many small islands on it.'

'The demon is impossible to communicate with, in the first place they only want power by making a bloody story for their gods.'

While Emily is thinking about a lot of things, all the invited guests have come to the birthday party and taken their seats. Many round tables with five seats have been occupied by the invited guests. The pope came to the front podium to say a few words and be grateful to the invited guests who took the time to attend his grandson's 1st birthday party.

"I'm very grateful to all of you, ladies and gentlemen."

"Please enjoy the foods and drinks that the holy one has given to us on this joyful day."

"May the holy one bless all of us who always believed in his teachings."

Beside trying to make a connection to the church, this is what the guests are coming for.

A blessing from the pope is worth a million.

Many have come from afar to pray at the cathedral but never had the chance to see the pope, especially received a blessing from him.

Many believed that his blessing could enhance their luck in their life and create more business opportunities.

Because unlike the holy one, the pope is real, he is a hero who protects humanity, and he is the pillar that spread the holy one teaching without ever giving up and doubting the holy one.

People believed that his power must have come from the holy one.

That's why, even though years ago, the blue panel that suddenly showed up made many people doubt the teaching.

The pope finally showed us the way.

With overwhelming holy power given by the holy one, he eradicated the demon.

Even though people still think that the holy one is another god that only plays with the fate of the living creatures in this universe, its power is real.

The pope is the living legend that still holds those powers.

After the party is over, many guests still talk with another one, especially the cardinals and archbishops that are still present in the back garden.

Of course, our little Zeon went back to his bed to rest in the white palace.

Zeon chose option 3 and slowly closed his eyes.

He thought about a lot of things today.

The real story and event didn't begin until years later.

He needs to organize many things in his mind and make some little notes when he can write later.

The most important thing is how to live safely in this dangerous world.

And to protect his loved one, he needs to do many things.

But sadly he knows that he's not the protagonist in this world.

Even his system is too weak.

Closing his eyes slowly he leaves everything to his future self.

The Horizon Fisherman looks at the child and gives 1000 SC.

Looking through a slit of his eyes that still opened at the blue panel that suddenly showed up.

'A generous god indeed'

'I don't know that fisherman can be so rich'

'Maybe fishing is a well paid job in this world ?'

Inside the pope workspace in the white castle, the pope is having a talk with John and Emily.

"John, are you going back to the border after this ?" ask the pope

"Yes, father, moreover this time will be a long time until we are seeing each other again. The Federation has been arranging some teams to check the demon side since some time ago after discussing your premonition with the highest member and the president."

"Some team is already going past the border to spy on the condition of the demon side. I'm on the 2nd wave team."

"This strategy has been thought and formulated by our scientist."

"Every team will have at least two church members."

"Multiple routes with the smallest number of demons and our retreat path have been chosen carefully."

"It will take years lurking on the demon side, but it is still worth it."

"If your premonition is right, our scientist deduces that a new demon king stronger than the previous one will be born years later."

"But we cannot be sure."

"Maybe something else more dangerous than that is still brewing on the demon side right now."

"Races that can run freely in the universe, their technological advantage is something that we cannot understand until now."

"That's why we need the space technological knowledge from the dwarves."

"We need our own spaceship for a backup plan."

"The Federation is afraid that humanity will lose one day."

"To give a little hope for our younger generation, we need a spaceship that can run away from all this madness that is happening right now."

"Maybe on a corner in this wide universe, there would be some places that can accommodate our people."

Silent continued for a little after John said his piece of news.

The pope knows that what The Federation is afraid of will come one day.

Who would have thought that there would be other races alive in this universe until that day comes.

It wouldn't be a surprise that something more dangerous will appear one day.

"Emily, how about you ? Are you really leaving for The Central City ?" ask the pope

"Yes, father."

"Many people still need our church."

"We cannot forget our job to help people in need and at least bring a little hope for humanity."

"Although it's hard to leave little Zeon, I cannot run away from my duty."

"Father, please take care of our little Zeon."

"At least with John's older brother's and older sister's child also living here, Zeon won't be lonely later."

"With you protecting this place, I don't need to worry about their safety."

The pope has 3 children and 5 grandchildren. His 1st son has a boy and a daughter. His 1st daughter also has a boy and a daughter. John now also has a son.

Looking at John and Emily, the pope gives his blessing and part with them.
