Beginning

' knock ' ' knock '

After some time in the night, I moved away from the window and lay down on the bed.

I was sleeping a little better after a long day but I was woken up by a knock on the door.

I now have a habit of waking up to the slightest sound.

I know who knocked on my door.

"Don't you have to go to college? Breakfast is ready."

"Ryan wake up quick!", my mother yelled.

"Respond if you're awake, Ryan."

I sat up on the bed then I cleared my throat a little

and hollered, "I'm awake mom."

"Alright then come in 5 minutes," she shouted.

"Ugh, my eardrums feel like they're about to burst."

I grabbed my ear and walked softly from the bed to the bathroom.

Our house has two floors and I live on the second floor.The bathroom is the second room on the right going down from my room.

Our house is the size of a quarter of a football field and although it is two stories, it has 8 rooms in total.

Apart from the bathroom and my room, there is a room for my mother and father, one for my brother, one for my sister, a hall, a kitchen and a little storage room.

I entered the bathroom and first looked at the mirror.

"It's been a long time since I saw my face in the mirror."

I said softly looking at my reflection.

Suddenly my eyes went to my red coloured teeth brush.

When I was about to start brushing my teeth.

My brow furrowed.

It was wet.

A sticky liquid was coating it.

"Holy heaven! , my favorite teeth brush".

My voice was shaking.

"It was my favourite teeth brush and you son of a beach! , destroyed my little sweetheart".

I can't call him 'son of a b**ch' because he is my brother.

Sad things.

'sigh'

I put the toothpaste on my hand and started brushing my teeth, a drop of water came out of my eye as I threw my brush in the dustbin.

Siblings are always behave well in front of people and parents but they wrestle with each other inside themselves.

well atleast we are siblings like that.

I finished brushing my teeth and headed towards the dining room.

Inside dining room.

A long table and there was five chairs. I walked towards the empty chair and sat on it.

"What are you doing Ryan , it's not good for health if you 'did' it many times in a day".

'Did' what?

Many times?

I am not that kind of freak.If it was me who had no sense of the past I would have died of shame but now I am a pro.

I said to my mother in a confident tone, "I was looking out of the window until late last night, so I went to bed late."

"It was full of fireflies outside and on the trees."

"It was so beautiful that I was glancing and didn't realise it was too late."

Then I turned my attention to my breakfast.

We all had coccoligator egg omelettes, salad and bread.

As for drinks, white mountain coffee for me, father and mother and normal milk for my sister and brother.

"First day of last year of high school, are you ready for it?"....

"Ray and Sofia are in the 1st year of high school. They will go with you from today. You will take care of them."

"You are weaker than them in magic and swordsmanship, but you are older than them so take good care of them."

I looked into my mother Stella's eyes and said, "As the elder brother it is my job to protect them."

"Your father is going for 6 months survey research today so he will not be able to meet you at school before 6 months."

"So he brought you something on your first day of school."

My father, Richard, put down his cup of coffee and took out a large black-purple bag and placed it in front of us.

'cough' ' cough '

Then he gave me a wand, my brother a sword and my sister a magic book from the bag.

We three knew very well what they were.

These were elite level artifacts or items.

Even though I came before the 'SYSTEM' came into being, magic came to us about 1000 years ago. 'SYSTEM' is just a medium through which we get a comprehensive idea about our limits, skills and our JOBs.

The first monster appeared in our world about a five hundred years ago.

At first, people are helpless to monsters, but very soon they notice the existence of MANA in the world and using it, certain people become 'ability users'.

There are mainly three types of 'Ability holder', 'Ability user' or 'Hunter' . They're divided in 1st physical ability holder, 2nd wizard/mage, and 3rd dual ability holder.

Physical ability holders or users are those who use Aura to fight with the help of their physical abilities.

Physical ability holder is mainly called face-to-face combatants such as tanks, swordmen and spearmen.They mainly use mana in their body to increase their physical and fighting power.

Mages are those who absorb the mana of the environment and use it as they wish.Even if it is suitable for the environment, there is a limit to what it can do in one's own body. If absorbing more mana than the limit, the heart may burst.

Mages are mainly of different types like - fire mage, water mage, healer, wood mage, wind mage, earth mage, ice mage, space mage, poison mage, dark mage, special mage etc.

Dual ability users are those who can use two types of abilities at the same time, such as - magical swordman, assassin, close - combat mage, etc.

There are also some special Ability holders in this world.They are very mysterious.

When the monster starts to appear, a few special portals start to appear along with it It is very rare to find more of those portals. So every country has many self-made artificial portals to teach subjects to protect themselves if such portals appear suddenly.

Depending on strength, wisdom and mana, monsters can be divided into 4 categories.

The first is the normal monsters, they are very easy to find and very easy to beat.

The second is the elite monster, which is twice as powerful as the normal monster or more then it.

The third is the boss monsters, they are mainly rare and many times stronger than the elite and normal monsters.

Last is the special boss monster, these are extremely rare, one part of a million.

(Details will be given in later parts.)

When boss monsters are killed they give some items or artifacts.50/50 chance of getting artifacts.Its chance of getting an elite class artifacts is 30/100.

So my brother and sister are very happy to see the artifacts.

Dad turned to us and asked us, "How did you like the gifts?"

They looked at the father and said, "Who doesn't like gifts?"

"Another elite class gift for 1st year. It is one of the best gifts of my life."

Ray said with a big smile and Sophia looked at her magical book like a cat.

As I stared at their happy faces, one part of my chest felt warm and the other felt empty.

I still remember how they died.I still remember those days that everyone has forgotten.

No matter the expression on my face when I remember those words, I have no emotion in my heart.

When I remember the past I feel like the world around me has gone black and I'm sitting on thousands of bloody bodies.

I looked at them but unknowingly my eyes went blank but it was so little time that no one noticed it.

"here's yours, Ryan", Dad said with a soft smile and handed me my magic wand.

I gently held my golden wand and said to father, "Thank you father."

Then father and mother hastily baked a cake and said, "Today a new chapter of your life will begin, so this small ceremony from us, our children."

At that time I said, "Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you."
