Will they rise as champions against oblivion, or succumb to the encroaching darkness? Join the fight for Warna's soul in this epic saga of redemption, sacrifice, and the unyielding power of hope. Author note: Since it is my first time writing I will lack in many fields, sometimes I will not be able to explain the plot properly or sometimes I will cut short it. My readers will encounter my hazardous writing that I am proud of but as the journey of both mine and the hero goes on, we will improve. So I the author will urge my viewers to give my novel a try, I am just a boy trying to bring my fantasy out to you. I will not ask for power stones nor will I enter into the contract if my readers want it but please give my chapters your honest review and tell me where I can improve. For now, I will hope to see you in my chapter comments. See you soon. Asura going dark......

Let's go hunting

As night fell, Aldric, unsure of what to do next, set up camp and sat down near it. He then called out to the system, "System, are you there?" [Yes, how may I help you?]replied the system. "Show me my status, abilities, and blessings," said Aldric, trying to sound authoritative. "

[User is advised to not speak in an authoritical tone,] the System responded in a cold voice. Aldric was shocked by the system's response and said hesitantly, "Sorry, could you please show me what I asked for before?" [Sure,] replied the system. A long window then popped up in front of Abyss displaying all the information about him:

After reading his description, Aldric was shocked. He only remembered choosing four abilities, so why did he have five? Moreover, the title and blessings he received would make him invincible. While happy, he was also suspicious of the God of Fire, who granted him these overpowered blessings.

Aldric thought, "Just from the title, I could change the outcome of a battle, and then these blessings will make my future easy. It's too much."

Aldric then called the system and asked, "Why do I have five abilities instead of four?" Instead of replying, the system showed some symbols: [---_92(--778-&___----••-•=]

"What happened to him?" Aldric asked himself.

"I should get some rest now," Aldric thought and went to sleep.

Chirp! Chirp!

As dawn approached, Aldric heard birds chirping. He woke up to see birds surrounding him, some trying to pick at his flesh. Aldric got up quickly and threw rocks at the birds to scare them away.

Aldric then called the system and asked, "Where am I? I hope it works."

[You are currently in the Moonlight Forest] replied the system.

Aldric was happy after hearing the system's reply and asked, "What can I get from here?" The forest was surrounded by a luminous glow and was dense with mana.

[You can find various types of materials here that will help you craft weapons and armour,] replied the system.

"Okay, then let's go hunting," said Aldric excitedly.
