System?
He froze for a second before becoming overjoyed. His golden finger had arrived after all.
He had initially planned to become that guy who uses his manipulation skills and becomes friends with all major characters for his safety.
It was a troublesome choice, but he was planning to do that if he had nothing, but now it didn't seem necessary.

'What the fuck!? This is so insane!' He was shocked beyond words; the system was extremely powerful.
'Hey, system...? Are you there? Can you elaborate further on what this means?' He wanted to learn about the basic details; the words felt ambiguous.
However, even after waiting a minute, he received no response and became aware that the system was not sentient.
'Well, this is also good.'

From what he could understand, the system was undoubtedly a cheat.but it did not make him strong instantly.
'Well... that wouldn't be too big of a problem.'
He has all the time in this world. He remembered that there were many geniuses among geniuses in the novel; they were excellent hunters despite being young and worked tirelessly daily to achieve greater heights.
He just has to work hard like them. but without getting any unique attention.At least not from my sister and new so called mother.
Elisa Starborn.
The 4th young miss of the family . And an important character in the novel.
She was born with the greatest talent in the clan, inheriting the traits of both the Family Head and Elina Starborn.
She was the genius miss from the family, showing greater talent than any of her siblings; people often compared her to the founder of the family in terms of talent.
The moment she was born, Elina showed intense expressions for the first time after many years.
In the novel, Elisa was trained by the best Hunters in the family and had countless resources at her disposal since birth.
She was a monster who could keep up with the protagonist of the generation.
However, her personality was shit.
Perhaps it was due to the presence of ruthless Elina and the cruel Family Head that she had a vicious personality upon growing up.
Cold, ruthless, inhuman…
These words could not do her justice. In the novel, hunters from the other families had given her a dark nickname for her inhuman tactics.
'Demon in a human's skin.'
A shameful nickname for any hunter; to be compared to a demon, their worst enemies, it was the greatest taint a hunter could experience.
Yet, Elisa was uncaring throughout her time; she slaughtered demons and hunted the humans who stood in her path.
She was indifferent to everything. The relationship between her and the protagonist of the novel was platonic and unclear to readers.
Even the strong-willed protagonist failed to persuade her to change her beliefs. She was that staunch.
'Now I need to know if she was born already... Well, who am I even?'
He thought helplessly, not even knowing his own name.For now, all he could do was wait in the wooden baby cot, having nothing to do.
He started to revise his knowledge about the novel that he would be needing in the near future.
'This should be the beginning stages of the novel considering the time; Elina had just birthed me, so there's no doubt about it that the novel has yet to enter the main arcs.'
'The beginning arc was a bit bland as compared to other arcs; for now, the war between the demons and exorcists should be at a stalemate. The families must be preparing their younglings for the future.'
'Then there will be the Academy arc where the main drama will begin... till then I need to get a good amount of strength.'
The candle lights in the room flickered violently, and a dark aura was enveloping the entire household that night.
Unknowingly, Elina had birthed an anomaly that she could not determine. An entity that was beyond her comprehension and might.
It was not clear what the future held for their family or even the world.
But one thing was sure, demons and humans both would suffer the turbulence alike.
It all depended on him now.
