2025-06-30 21:43:37Finral looking at Elizabeth took one step back and then asked, “is that necessary? We already made everything look this way, can't we just let him burn?”
Elizabeth took Finral’s hands and pulled him out of the room then told him to light it up on fire. Still in doubt and fear Finral used his mana ability to create a fire in the room but before he did it Elizabeth went back inside and stabbedmAiden close to the chest which made the injury not too severe.
As they ran off the flames engulfed the whole building most especially the room Aiden was in, with pain in his chest Aiden pulled himself to a corner in the room with blood dripping from him.
Regret and anger raged inside him as he kept giving heavy breaths as he gave himself counting down to his death, with the amulet in his left hand he held it close to his chest as he gave out a faint statement, “I wished I could make you proud Mother”
His hand that held the amulet fell off to the floor as he passed out.
...
As Elizabeth and Finral ran to the main mansion they kept shouting that they'd been attacked by assassins and the guest building was set on fire. With that guards and retainers rushed to the guest building but by the time they could get over to the building it had already been burnt down to every bit.
“Where is Aiden?” Viscount Philip Lurande asked as he came down from his horse.
Elizabeth replied, “He tried protecting me then the assassin stabbed him in his chest, I ran out before I could know anything that happened. Final saw me running and I told him what had happened so he decided to follow me.”
With that reply Viscount Philip Lurande gave out a heavy sigh and said to himself, “I still had more milking to do from that boy”
They all watched the building burn down from a distance as no one dared go close.
...
“I wished I had a second chance, I wished I could make everything work out better.” Aiden kept soliloquizing as he saw the whole building burn down around him.
“Guess this is the end, there was nothing I could do to change my family's name for the better”
Then Aiden heard the soothing voice of a female, “I know you're strong Aiden, that's why I protected you.”
Aiden opened his eyes as he saw the amulet glowing in his hand amid the flames and he looked around seeing the green veil around him in the flames.
He got up then he looked at the glowing amulet that popped up on a screen. He asked himself, “What is this? What is this trying to show me?”
The screen kept flashing then he heard a female voice in his head,
Notice: Procedure activated
Contact with family heirloom
Do you wish to advance: YES/NO
Seeing the screen and hearing the voice in his head Aiden got confused, as he looked around and tried to figure out where the sound came from but noticed that it was in his head.
He looked at the screen as he wondered what was happening, he thought he was hearing and seeing things because of the beating accompanied with the fire and smoke so he decided to play along and replied, “Yes.”
"Glad it's still safe and intact... this is all that’s left from my family," Aiden said to himself.
Aiden went out of the burning house and sat under a tree, holding the amulet in his hand.
Sitting at the edge of the tree, still getting used to his new surroundings, Aiden was startled when a strange glowing screen suddenly appeared in front of him. It was translucent and hanging in mid-air. Aiden’s eyes widened in shock.
Suddenly, a strange voice echoed in his head—it was the voice of a system, giving Aiden instructions to unlock his full mana flow and all his abilities.
"What the hell is this? Is this a dream or what? Am I hallucinating, or am I possessed?" Aiden wondered, lost in thought.
He blinked, trying to make sense of what was happening, but the words on the screen remained clear, displayed in front of him like he was dreaming.
Name: Aiden
Strength: 35/100
Mana: Unknown
Speed: 10/100
Reflexes: 10/100
Others: Unlocked
Equipment: Unlocked
"What the hell is this? How does it know my name? Is this some kind of spell Finral cast on me or something?" Aiden wondered in fear.
His heart raced as he stared at the strange stats on the screen—Strength, Mana, Speed, Reflexes. These were abilities he only knew from stories or video games, not something used to describe a real person, especially not him. He also noticed the words beneath the stats, such as "Equipment," but they said "Unlocked."
Aiden hesitated before reaching out to touch the glowing screen. He waved his hand through it, but it felt like nothing but air, even though the text stayed intact.
"What in the world is this?" Aiden murmured to himself, his gaze fixated on the amulet.
He tried to focus on the words on the screen, realizing that the numbers seemed to gauge some sort of potential, along with a list of abilities and equipment that remained locked. As he continued to glance at the stats, he felt a strange power awakening and surging inside him.
Then, he remembered the beating he endured at the house when he was ambushed by Finral and Elizabeth. The pain he’d suffered, the injuries that nearly took his life—perhaps they awakened something inside him he didn’t know was there.
"All this is coming from this amulet," Aiden thought. "Perhaps I was mistaken all along. I had my powers with me the whole time but never noticed."
Was this part of his true identity, or had he accidentally awakened something within him? Or was he dreaming? All these thoughts ran through his mind, and then, suddenly, the screen appeared again, and more words flashed on it.
MISSION: Rest for 3 hours
ABILITIES: To be unlocked
EQUIPMENT: To be unlocked
OBJECTIVE: Await further instructions
Aiden was breathless when he saw the word "abilities."
"Mana abilities? Missions?" Aiden whispered to himself, his mind racing as he tried to understand what was happening. Was it possible that there was more to him than he ever knew?
The screen disappeared again, the same way it had mysteriously appeared, leaving Aiden staring at the empty air where the system screen had once been.
His heart was still racing as he sat frozen, wondering what all of this meant and what would happen next.
Aiden couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. He sat there, completely dumbfounded, staring at the spot where the system screen had disappeared. His mind raced as he processed everything that had just happened.
"Was I hallucinating?" Aiden asked himself. He blinked several times, but he was certain that the system screen was gone. The room became quiet again, save for the sound of crackling fire in the other room.
