3 The Beginning After the End (Part 2)
[Congratulation You were Chosen by the System]
"Huh? What is this?"
a paper-like image appear in front of my eyes. I was dumbfounded on what I saw and try looking around me but I only saw complete nothingness.
When I look back at thr image I saw words above it saying "Notice"
When I touch the light image it changes.
[Notice: The Gifted is dead and as the systems gift would you like to be reborn? Y/N]
"What reborn? how is this possible?
urghh what should I do? should I ask a question?"
I'm still confused on what to do but nothing will happen to me if i just stay idle.
"System? Why am i being reborn?" I said those words with all of my courage in my being.
[Report: The System applaud your conviction and justice, so the System decided to give you a second chance.]
[Notice: would you like to proceed? Y/N]
"Does that mean the System is watching me? I need to be careful but I will achieve nothing in this void and lifeless space. I need to enter the tiger's den and face it head on."
I hade no choice...With all my courage I click the proceed and I will be reborn and those [7 Kings of Hell] will surely pay for this!
[Notice: processing the rebirth]
It only takes a matter of minutes and when i open my eyes I saw the ceiling with a shiny thing.
What is that? I wonder to myself when i stand up and look outside it was a completely different world that my own. No floating Island and no mountain, all I see is shinny building.
I look around the messy house and found a mirror. I... It's not me.....w...wwwhy do I look different? This.....th...this... isn't my body!!!
"System!"
The image is called on has a name, Windows.
I saw a different name. am I the only one who can see this??? Is this another world? a completely different world compared to my own?
[Status Window
Name: Augustus Lopez
Age: 22
Skills: None
Rank: E
Title: None
Nationality: Filipino]
"Huh? what are these? My information?" I was sitting on the floor, after I calmed down for a bit the only this is saw is that of the Windows and its Tabs.
[Status Window | Appraisal | Contacts | Storage]
" hmmm....System explain this to me..."
[Answer:
[Status window] shows all personal information including title and ranks.]
[Appraisal] is used to determine the use of an item.
[Contacts] shows all my information to [Gifted] and how to call and message them.
[Storage] is used to store items, weapons, potions, etc..]
"Ok now that I get the gist of it.....and by the way, why am I not in my original body?" I deliberately said to the System.
[Answer: Due to the "Dimensional Rift" only the soul, original power and original memory are retained upon rebirth]
"What? I still have my original power? How is this possible?" I was shocked when I heard and try to feel the my power within me and the System is correct, I still have it.
Thankfully the System is trying to conceal my [Mana-pressure] while I'm still trying to comprehend the new things, because if the system don't, it will be a big mess.
[Answer: The System cannot interfere to the personal power of the Gifted]
I tried to look outside again and at the rooftop of the apartment I saw city lights, cars and numerous people walking alongside side the road.
"Hey System! how can I learn everything again here? I can't read anything here. I know nothing here." While looking at the city light the System gives a suggestion.
[Notice: Would you like to merge memory with you and this persons memory? Y/N]
I move back to my apartments bed and proceed to the merging of memory.
[Notice: Starting to merge memory]
A sudden pain is felt in my entire head, it feels like it's about to explode. I couldn't resist the excruciating pain and it made me weak. I fell and lost consciousness.
When I woke up the first thing I did is cry over this mans life. He was bullied, he also lost his family due to illness and has been branded as a curse in his own family lineage so he decided to leave and start a new life here at the city but luck isn't on his side.
[The Gate] are the dimension that exists in this world to maintain the balance of [Order and Chaos] and to maintain that the Systems have given the people here power and they were called [The Gifted] they fight and enter the dungeon to protect the powerless citizens and bring peace.
According to this persons memory the [Ranking] exist to determine who are qualified to enter the Gates...
For [Rank E], they can only enter a E to D class Gates.
For [Rank D], they can only enter D to C class Gates
For [Rank C]they can only enter C to A in form of a party
For [Rank B and A] they can enter from to B to high ranking A class Gate. If a Gifted is in a form of a 'Party' they can enter the Gate with that particular party.
And as for the [S rankers], they only raid A to S rank Gate. But the GA has a protocol that if an [S rank Gate] appears only [S-Rankers] can raid the Gate.
[Temporary Party Member] is a filler [Gifted] to meet the minimum requirements for raiding a Gate, as an example an [E ranker] will be able to join a raid in a [B rank Gate] as a Filler Member of Temporary Party Member but this only happens rarely because some people are scared about entering a Gate above their Ranks.
Every rank have a different amount of salary coming from thier own guild.
[The Guilds] are the association or group of [The Gifted] who enters the Gate as a party. The Guild must be lead by a [S-Rank] only as its Guild master and as for the Vice master the qualification is having at least an A rank.
"So this really is a different world compared to mine whose Gates does not exist. I need to be careful, I don't know what kind of monster exist in those Gates."
Plus, even this person has only entered a single [E-Rank] Gate and he almost died there. I really pity this man, he committed suicide since he can't take the worlds wrath....
....Don't worry, I'll make you proud man and Master, and to my family, I promise to take my revenge on all of you. I'll destroy the [7 Kings of Hell].
"So [Mana] is still the life energy here so there must be no problem using my skills....but to fight those Kings I must get stronger."
I called on the Window again to check something...
"Window"
[Storage]
*Tap*
"hmmm I only have this ring in my storage. let's try to appraise it." I took out the ring from the storage and click the appraisal tab to appraise the ring.
[Appraisal: The Ring of the First Phantom.
it can hide the the presence of the holder as well as thier power.]
"Wow this is very useful. So I don't have to worry about my power being seen.
Its pretty boring here. I don't even have a Guild, but for a rank E like me no one would dare to let me join.
Should I try looking it up to [The Gifted Association] when is the re-evaluation exam."
But I'm not sure whether my power is still like that in my world! If the people here are stronger than me...I need to be careful.
I sit on my table and I open my laptop and go to association website and saw the re-evaluation exam date
"July 13 2021"
"What? I need to wait another six months for the reevaluation. That's too long. I need to fight strong opponents to get stronger...but for now let's clean this room first"
I look around and saw a mountain of laundry and bottle of beer. What the hell is this man thinking everyday to drink this much? Oh? He was bullied, right?
After several hours of cleaning i heard a sound of knocking in the door. It was the land lady, i need to pay up for my rent.
"When the hell are you going to pay your rent? It's been 2 month since your last payment." the land lady said at me looking so angry.
" Can I ask how much my rent again?" I said gently to her.
"14 thousand pesos" she said.
"huh? why is it so expensive? its not like I'm in a hotel" I said to quitely but the land lady heard it.
"Why are you complaining? if you're not going to pay this week, you should start packing your things and get the hell out of here." she said bursting in anger as she went down the stairs.
"I'm doomed. How can I earn that much money?"
There's only one thing that came into mind....
.....entering the Gates.
