I Awakened The Most Powerful System

Chapter 4

Four

“I am Dreavon.”

The words struck Rhys like a physical blow.

His jaw slowly fell open as disbelief washed over him. By this point, he was convinced his mind had finally broken under the weight of everything that had happened. No matter how vivid the scene felt, no matter how real the presence before him seemed, there was simply no way this could be real.

Dreavon was one half of the Gemini brothers.

They were the most revered gods of the Tower of Ascension, worshiped across the world and feared even among other deities. As the patron gods of the Tiger Guild, the strongest guild on Earth, their influence reached into every corner of human civilization.

Among the brothers, Dreavon was said to be the elder. He was the mind behind the power, the strategist whose intellect alone decided the outcome of wars. Other gods respected him. Many feared him.

There was a saying known even to ordinary humans. If Dreavon devised the war plan, the battle was already over before the first blow was struck. In every legend passed down through generations, he was described as a god who had never lost a single war throughout his entire existence.

Ravan, the younger brother, stood in stark contrast.

He was worshiped as the War God, a being of pure destruction. Ancient stories painted him as a blood soaked monster who reveled in slaughter. According to lore, Ravan possessed the terrifying ability to manipulate blood itself, bending it to his will on the battlefield.

There were only two confirmed accounts of Ravan personally joining a battle. Each time, the results were catastrophic. It was said that dozens of gods died every time he snapped his fingers, and entire armies of immortals were forced to retreat in terror the moment he entered the field.

Individually, either brother was powerful enough to inspire fanatic devotion.

Together, they were the Gemini brothers.

On Earth, their worship was everywhere. Temples dedicated to Gemini could be found every few streets. Dreavon was honored with offerings of milk poured over his idol, while Ravan was appeased with the blood of lambs or goats.

Their followers were fanatical.

Many believed that even a brief five second encounter with either brother would be worth sacrificing a limb or worse. That level of devotion was exactly why Rhys found the situation impossible to accept.

Standing before him was one of the most worshiped beings in existence.

This could only be a miracle.

Or a dream.

“Glory to Gemini,” Rhys said, his voice trembling as he dropped to his knees. He pressed his forehead to the white floor, fully prostrating himself in reverence.

“At ease,” Dreavon replied calmly.

Rhys rose to his feet slowly, his heart pounding.

“I know what you are thinking,” Dreavon continued. “You believe this is not real. In that, you are correct. This is not my true body, and you are not truly standing before me.”

Dreavon regarded him with a faint smile.

“If this were my real form, my mere presence would incinerate you instantly. Be grateful that this is not reality.”

The words brought an odd sense of relief to Rhys. His suspicion that this was some kind of illusion seemed confirmed.

“But,” Dreavon added, his tone shifting slightly, “what I am about to tell you is very real.”

Confusion crept back into Rhys’s expression.

“You may not know this,” Dreavon said, “because she kept it hidden from everyone, including you. Your sister was my chosen champion.”

Rhys’s breath caught.

“I blessed her with a system. A cheat, one might say. Its purpose was to ensure that she would become a true powerhouse in time. However, just hours before that power could fully become hers, someone intervened.”

Dreavon’s eyes darkened.

“She was kidnapped. Those responsible attempted to forcibly absorb the power I granted her.”

Rhys’s eyes widened.

“Violet was your champion?” he asked urgently. “Where is she? What did they do to her?”

Dreavon shook his head slowly, irritation flickering across his expression.

“This fragment of my consciousness is limited,” he said. “I do not possess that knowledge. I wish I did, but I do not.”

The disappointment hit Rhys hard.

“The power I granted her carried a contingency,” Dreavon continued. “If she had been killed before it fully bound to her, it would have automatically transferred to her killer.”

He paused.

“Fortunately, they did not kill her. Instead, they attempted to seize her body by manipulating her soul. In doing so, they broke the seal binding my power to her.”

A faint smile formed on Dreavon’s face.

“That mistake gave me an opportunity. One that was not part of my original plan.”

He spread his wings slightly, light rippling across their surface.

“Your sister was my first choice,” Dreavon said. “The first champion I have ever chosen in the history of the universe. In my eyes, she possessed every quality needed to become something truly great.”

He sighed softly.

“Circumstances have forced me to change my plans. Before this fragment of my consciousness parted ways with Violet, she made a request.”

Rhys felt his chest tighten.

“She asked that the power meant for her be passed to you. In her judgment, if she could not wield it, then you were the next best choice.”

Dreavon lifted off the ground, hovering effortlessly.

“Rhys Yadav,” he said. “You were not the champion I intended to choose. But you will now inherit the power that was meant for your sister.”

His gaze sharpened.

“Use it wisely, and you may yet save her. Fail, and you will likely share her fate.”

Light began to gather around Dreavon’s form.

“Because of this interference, the system will not be complete at first. It will take time to grow. As you progress, it will evolve, unlocking its true capabilities.”

The glow intensified.

“Your life will not be peaceful,” Dreavon warned. “It will not be easy. But it will give you the strength you need to protect those you love.”

The god’s form dissolved into blinding white light, merging seamlessly with the endless space.

“GAHHH!”

Rhys jolted awake, gasping for air. Sweat drenched his body as his heart raced violently.

A blue screen materialized in front of him.
