After i accepted the system's quest, My status screen pops up and showing me all of my stat again but in once of those category, I saw my race glitching out and changes into a new race that is not even exist in this world.
And because of the sudden change of my race, I was freaked out by it, But just as i was about to take a closer into my stat.
Someone knocked on my door.
"Oi! Oudom! Open the door!"
"Uh, Give me a sec, I'll open the door."
I close my status and begin walking straight to the door, and when i open the door, I saw Reinea standing in front of me, carrying a bag of snacks while looking down at her hand.
"So... I heard that you're going to be staying here, Is that true?"
"Oh... Well I'm not so sure about that but, I heard Maria told me that I'll be staying here."
"Hmm... So it seems like, you really are staying here... That's good to know.."
"A-Anyways, I brought you som-"
"Eh?"
Upon seeing her confused, I ask her.
"Uh... Reinea are you-"
"Oudom... When the fuck did you..." She speaks as she points to my face.
"Heh? Is... there anything wron-" without letting finishing my speak, Reinea immediately grabbed my hand and walks up to a mirror.
"Look for yourself!"
"H-Hey! you can ju-" I take a quick glanced at the mirror and there it was, I saw my right eye changed into a sort unknow mystic eye, It keeps glitching.
And when i turn to Reinea, She saw my right eye fixed into a position but, at the same time, I started to see her stat, her equipments and her weak point. Then i immediately fell down to the ground, clenching my eyes as it starts to bleed profusely.
But, in that same very moment, I glanced up and seeing a sort of future movement of Reinea as she leaned down and shaking my body.
"O-Oudom! The hell is happening to you!"
"I... I.."
Suddenly, The world around shifts into another dimension, and the pain from my right eye earlier, also had stopped. I then look back up and see a whole new dimension, Where everything are upside down.
And before i could get myself up. I hear a voice of somebody talking to me behind my back, and when i turn around, I saw no one but, when i turn back. There it was.
I saw a sort of another me, but his hair seems more longer than mine, standing further away from me.
"..."
He didn't say anything, nor even look at my face. Instead, He just... stand there and didn't move.
but the silence was not long, when he eventually raises his head and talks to me.
"Serey Oudom... The one that destined to prevent the inevitable invasion from the attack of the calamity..."
"The one to reclaim the lost star that was sealed for centuries..."
"And the one who will eventually become the next [sealed]..."
Upon hearing such information about me, It gives me a goosebump. I don't know what he meant by saying all of those things but, when he mention that i will become the next...
I suddenly understand what he meant, and in that very same moment. His emotionless face turns 180 degree and changes into a creepy wide-grinned after seeing my realization.
And when i blink my eyes, He was gone from my sight, and right as I'm about to turn around. I got stabbed behind my back, and my blood flowing out from my body like a pool of water, and eventually i passed out and closes my eyes.
It was like that time when i first pass away... Silence... Cold... and Nothing... It feels like I'm drifting in this sea of the void again...
"Is this... really the life that i want..."
"Is this... really the world that i wish to be in..."
I thought to myself while I'm drifting endless abyss but, just as i thought i was alone, I soon noticed a figure is getting more closer and closer to me, and before i even get a gist of the figure.
I suddenly feel a sword being impaled right on my chest. At first i tried to scream but, i couldn't open my mouth to even utter a word. Then i began to realized, The sword that had just impaled me, didn't make me feel a single pain.
Instead, the sword began to emits its light and shine brighter and brighter, eventually it cracked, and instantly shattered into pieces of little fragments.
And those fragments slowly absorbed into my body with each fell like a little warm, added into my body but, at the same time as each fragment entering my body. I also fell like my body is being empowered...
I didn't think much of it and i decided to just close my eyes and without thinking where I'll be off this tim-
Just when i closed my eyes, I immediately opened back and to see me being on my bed and back in my room.
But, then i also feel like someone is sleeping on my thighs, that's when i look up and see, Reinea sleeping on me.
"Um... Reinea..."
"Huh... Wha...-" while she was awaking mid way, she paused for a moment and look at me before her eyes being widened.
"Y-You're awake??"
"Uh... yeah-"
"FATHER!" She immediately ran off the room and called out Zyphero and everyone else.
And not even a few minutes, Everyone gathered in my room with Zyphero standing behind Seelie as she's inspecting my body.
"Hmm... Strange..."
"His body seems to grow a bit more than the last time that i scanned him a moment ago."
"Not only that, His mystic eye seem to be more stable than before too."
As she's going more deeper into my information, She then stumble upon something that made her eyes widened.
"Wait... Don't tell me..." She then calls out to Zyphero to check out what she had just found, and to his surprise, He lets out a wide grin before looking at me.
"To think I'd never have a proper successor."
At that moment, I fell a chill running down on my spine as i see him grin widely at me then out of nowhere, everyone's stat pops up and showing their stats and level but, Zyphero's stat didn't pop up. Instead, it has a message that says.
[Cannot look into due to unknown reason]
Not even that, While i can see everyone futures movement but, i can't see Zyphero's movement. It's like, He's an entire different level than everyone else.
And just as i was about to speak anything, Seelie suddenly found something even more about me. She then closes her status screen and holds up a finger gun then points at my face. Her finger instantly charges up into a high energy lightning voltage.
Everyone inside the room except Zyphero were shocked on what Seelie's doing.
"H-Hey! I don't think it's necessary to use that on him" says Gravan as he's seen trying to tone things down.
"S-Seelie! You don't have to do this yet!" Maria then trying to calm her down by trying to drag her but got pushed away by her.
"Seelie! Don't you dare release!" Reinea warns her before she summons out her sniper rifle and points at Seelie.
"tsk..." Seelie then glances back at Zyphero to do something about this.
And upon seeing her like this, Zyphero shrugged before he creates a barrier that pushes everyone back outside the room.
And with that, I know I was done after seeing things turn out like this but, at the same time, Seelie's finger lightning charges up even more and immediately shoots at me.
In that moment, I thought to my self once again.
"Am i really going to die again?"
"Why? Why? Why? Why?"
"Why do i have to keep dying like this?"
"No... I can't die... yet..."
"I can't die to such thing here!"
Then i heard a voice inside my head saying
Repel it
The moment i hear those words, My instinct kicked in and my hands quickly grab the lightning that was already near my eye and I immediately return her attack to her in an instant but, She move her head to the side in time from her own attack being repelled.
Seelie's eye widened when see saw me easily repelled her attack.
"Tsk... Just as i expected, You do really have that life threatening instinct."
The barrier then settle down and everyone rushed in again but to their surprised, They saw Seelie's hair was burned a bit and a hole carved on the wall behind her.
"H-Heh?" I look confused about what just happened to me, and before i could say anything, Zyphero claps his hand and walks up to me.
"Brilliant! It seems you really are worthy to be trained directly by me."
"So what do you say, Oudom? Are you going to accept my lessons?"
"Wha..." and at the same time, a system quest pops up saying
[The next power quest has started]
[Do you wish to take his lessons?]
[ACCEPT] OR [REFUSE]
