12/February/4055

The Sun was hiding in the cloud...

Atmosphere around the world was changing...

In the mansion of Duke Wilford ...

Rion who was in the garden of the mansion. Suddenly a message come from the system.

[ Happy birthday Host(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) . The system will give you special books for your birthday ^_^]

'Hah , books, which guy wants books in a birthday gift' said Rion with sigh . Then started walking to his room.

When Rion was walking to his room he meet Riana ...

"Brother can you help me with the history subject" said Riana with pleading eyes .

" Where is Ren? , He is better than me History" said Rion

" Ren , Brother has gone to the city for a tour" said Riana with a angry tone .

' After understanding the situation 'Rion said with a awkward chuckle" ahem... I think it will be better if you ask Father to teach you . Father is very knowledge in History. Maybe you can gain enlightenment.

" Okay , brother" said Riana while walking toward the office room of Duke Wilford.

' it's not that i don't want to help her . It's just that she is not bad in history, she is worst in history, I don't wanna remember that moment, it gives me PTSD' said Rion while walking towards his room.

After locking the door and checking there was no one in the room...

Rion checked his birthday gift from the system...

[ Claiming the gift from the system ]

[ Gift has been sent to the System inventory]

[ System Inventory: 23 + 5]

'ohh i got 5 books ' said Rion while pulling the books from the System inventory.

[ System warns the Host to read the books with the most Caution!!! (⁠˘⁠･⁠_⁠･⁠˘⁠) ]

Rion was surprised by the warning from the system. It was second time System has give him warning. Rion take the books with utmost caution and tried to read the books title .

Only two from the books have name . Where the other three doesn't.

When Rion was about to read the title.

[ System once again warn the Host to read the books with highest caution ]

[ As there are highest chances for the Host personality to get changed ]

Wow Rion was surprised by the message from the system. But why did System give him such dangerous books to read . The system will never betray him as he has tried many method to check the loyalty of System. So there are no way for the system to betray him or it will give him trust issue-

[ Host , STOP!!! thinking too much. This books are special as they can give the Host special Skills . But the way to meet the requirements to get the rewards are Harsh , It's very Harsh (⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠) ]

[ I don't want the host to go through this harsh requirements (⁠っ⁠˘̩⁠╭⁠╮⁠˘̩⁠)⁠っ]

[ But because of the 'dream' and 'ring' . I have to give these books ]

Ahh yes .. The dream and the ring ... Haah

---- Flashback ----

12/ February/4053

At the night...

Where the moon was hidden in cloud...

Rion was sleeping soundly...

{ In the dream of Rion }

Rion who was having his peaceful time in the island saw that his dream was glitching...

Then suddenly Rion feels a sudden pull from the space near his back where the atmosphere has cracked and there was a black hole...

Rion widen his eyes trying understand what is happening...

He couldn't wake up from his dream . It fealt like he was in dream paralysis. He tried to called his System from the dream but he couldn't, no he couldn't, he tried to speak or think but can't, it just everything was erasing.

He can see his body getting erase every moment. He felt horrified at the sight of his body . He felt pain , a unimaginable pain . He want to cry but couldn't his tears are getting sucked before the tears are coming. His eyes turned bloodshot. He is not understanding what is happening in his dream .

But suddenly after his face got sucked . The ring suddenly brighten in purple colour.

After the flash of purple , he felt everything got stopped. Everything was there but the time got stopped. He wants to get away from the blac hole with his hand but can't.

" Hmmm, I knew it ???? will try to mess up the timeline" said a creature who has no body only darkness .

" You are enjoying in the dream and life , Weren't you? , You will regret the time you have wasted " said the creature before pulling Rion out of the black hole.

-- Rion's POV---

After losing the body he felt everything got lost ...

Who is he?

Why is he feeling this?

Why should he feel this ?

What he did to feel this ?

He felt despair...

Before hearing

"????- mess - timeline, you are enjoying in the dream and life , Weren't you?, You will regret the time you have wasted " said the figure.

Before suddenly Rion waked up from his dream.

--- POV END ---

Rion was sweating in cold .

The moon's light come from the window and touch his face ...

The System was Ringing with messages ...

Rion ignored the message of system and walked to the balcony .

Rion could see the moon and the night's cold atmosphere and air. Still it couldn't stop the cold sweat from coming.

Rion didn't know what was that . He can't think anything even with his passive Skill .

He was feeling the cold air and closed his eyes ...

....

The morning came and the sounds of bird chirping wake Rion.

Rion was still stuck in the shock .

Rion's family has noticed this, they wanna talk to Rion , but couldn't as there was a don't approachable atmosphere around Rion.

At night

Rion entered his room with not locking his door .

Rion directly go to the balcony and sat on the bench where he slept yesterday .

Rion open the message board of the system...

[ (⁠ ⁠⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⁠⌢⁠⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀) Waaa , Waaa , Host i was

trying my best to wake you up from the dream as i noticed your soul was getting away from the body .]

[ There was distortion in the world's timeline.]

'System you know there are many things you kept vague and didn't explain, I don't know why but i feel there are some restrictions on you or could it be you are hiding something from me '

[ (⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠) Sorry, Host , I can't give the explanation of the question. You will understand in the future ]

After few moments of speaking with the System. He remembered something...

'hmm i am too weak huh' Rion chuckles softly after remembering the words of the 'figure' .

'system looks like my dream of having peaceful life is gone ' said Rion before jumping from the balcony.

He walked out of the mansion by using his passive Skill of sound and air concealment.

No one noticed that Rion is out of the mansion.

Rion who was walking on the road with no shoes said to system to give him some clothes and shoes.

Rion mocked himself as how foolish he became after the dream . He walked out of the mansion with no shoes without even him noticing.

After changing the dress in a alleyway...

He walked out of the alleyway and see some people walking out of the Mercenary Guild . Mercenary Guild's member work for money. If there is enough money for task they will do it . As you can tell they are kind of greedy person who wants High money withow risk .

After passing the the Mercenary Guild , He saw adventure guild . He wants to go in and register but didn't.

...

After passing the different guilds and people...

He was all alone in the middle of Road. There was light but it was of moon's.

There were few people but they were entering a inn for a night .

Even the other guilds were going to sleep not to hunt monsters in the forest and dungeons.

Yes, monster, there was monster or beast who evolved from normal animals to a beast due to mana and special energy's.

The dungeons are a Portal where many normal monster and boss monsters live.

No one try to hunt them in night . As in the night monster or beast stay in a berserk mode . Their strength can double or triple in night . So no one hunt them in night .

Some fools try to hunt them. But they never returned alive.

But Rion is gonna be the fool . As there will be no one to see him hunting those monsters .

Rion after hunting few monsters was bleeding from his right hand and face.

If there was no System he couldn't drink the potion in time from the System inventory.

After cleaning his clothes he walked out of the forest as he stored their body in the system Inventory.

Rion hears some noises in the left side...

He don't want to go there as in night beast fight each other. He was walking out of the forest-

"Meaw"

"Grrr"

But stoped as he heard a cat's voice.

Rion likes cat , he wanted a pet cat , but it was not possible as pet should stay away from house and in Duke city Pet's are rare , it's very rare . As they got sell immediately there was one.

It was weird as cat's are rare.

Rion go to the place where he headed the noises.

He saw a small wolf was fighting with a Dark Cat who has deep blue eyes. He was mesmerized of the sight of the cat .

He can see that the colour of the cat's eye was changing.

Rion take out his dual sword and hunt the small wolf . The small wolf could not retaliate of the sudden ambush.

Rion after giving the finishing blow by slicing of the wolf's head. He walked to the cat's with expecting maybe the cat will run away from him . As he gives his right hand near the cat's face for a handshake .

Rion looked like a curious kid expecting a handshake from a cat . There could be seen some stars in his eyes .

The cat who was little injured looked at Rion with tilting his head in question?

Rion who understand this treated the cat's injury and take the cat to the mansion. After entering the mansion he slept happily with cuddling the cat's fur.

---- FLASHBACK END ----

Rion was cuddling his cat who came from the balcony and lay on Rion's lap .

In these two years Rion pushed his physical body and skills to the limit . He also helped his cat to be stronger with the suggestion from the System.

-------------- AUTHOR NOTE-------------------

Hello, iam sorry that I didn't upload chapter in these two days . As I was thinking what to do and how to continue the story . There are many ideas but I don't know which one to start and how to start . { The system status panel will come in low amount and I will try to short the system status showing panel as they are hard to write and specialy the skill options. So I will short the status panel but make them understandable.}

This novel is based on my imagination ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ so I hope you understand it ....
