1 century ago, Orlnds was a prosperous area without any deficiencies, in which it consists of 7 large countries with 120 clans. Each clan has its own system that can be unified into the strongest system in the universe. They call it Acacia. a system capable of making the universe vibrate by touch.
Eros De Fadrick, the only person capable of mastering 120 systems in each clan in Orlnds, everyone called him The Warrior Wizard. He was the protector who turned the Ords into a peaceful slowdown. Until one day, a group led by King Orcano from the country of Alastair launched a war threat if Eros was not killed. Their country thinks that Eros will only destroy the universe, because only he is able to control the system.
And the battles were fought, very difficult and painful for 30 years, but Eros defended his people. But Eros wasn't a greedy person, he flapped his dragon wings to shut down his system and disappeared. But that does not mean he runs away amidst the threat of war, but rather to open the eyes of his people who have been blinded by the universal system.
And after that, he never returned to the Orlnds even the land of Aristotle where he was born. That's why the Orlnds have now been blinded by the lost modern concept. Until they come back with their ancient concept so far. Systemless.

"You can play the sword Conan?", Gerald asked me.
"I'm not sure"
Actually I've only ever played a sword in a game, but in front of me this is a real sword that I have never touched in my life.
"Come on, you can do it", forced Gerald with confidence.
Ah, there's nothing wrong with trying, after all, as long as I was Eric Godfey, I often went to the gym to train my body.
Immediately I took the sword in Gerald's hand, but immediately I dropped it almost hit by my feet.
"huh, you're lucky that the sword didn't hit your leg", Gerald's face looked relieved as he stared at the sword that was right in front of my feet.
"You are okay?"
I nodded, to be honest the sword was quite heavy, maybe the equivalent of lifting a 4 kg barbell. And now my strength is also starting to weaken as my body shrinks.
"why is this sword so heavy?"
Gerald chuckled in front of me, this kid is so handsome with that smile. Although to be honest Conan's face is much more handsome, even though it is only a side role.
"Conan should be like that"
"You want to try archery?", he offered.
Maybe it was better than swinging this 4 kg sword.
I nodded.
But when we started walking towards the archery ground ....
"Gerald, Conan, we must welcome the guests from Aristotle's country for lunch", the familiar voice I so loathed.
Erland Babbage Invander, crown prince of the king Estefan Babbage Invander, who is the stepfather and also the most cunning person to me. He just wanted to adopt me for his personal gain so that he could seize the throne from his super genius brother, Christoffel Babbage Invander. Yes, this damn guy just used me as a display to attract the sympathy of others, as well as an old doll behind other people.
But in this bad luck, I am very grateful, because I have a half brother who continues to defend me in any condition as long as I am right. No wonder Gerald will be made king and trained hard to become the successor of The Warrior Wizard, Eros.
"Come on, Conan!", Asked Gerald to remind me of my cruel gaze at the figure of my stepfather.
I was silent, I caught a glimpse of Erland's cold gaze which he just turned away before walking to follow Gerald's rare into the palace.
=====
"he is your adopted son?" Asked the king Hector pointed at me.
"Of course, I adopted him from the Efharis orphanage", I hated his sweet, sickening words.
Yes, who else but my stepfather, the crown prince of Erland.
"Hester's orphanage to be more precise," Christoffel muttered expressionlessly.
It seemed that now Hector's face was investigating the royal family in front of him with full of question marks.
I like the character Christoffel here, he is so wise and calm in dealing with everything. And to be honest, of course. See how calmly she mentions the name of the small orphanage in the countryside as a correction to the name of the orphanage that Erland had mentioned with her bas-mouth.
"Ah, my brother really likes to joke"
Pretty good acting my dad, I thought bored. Meanwhile Christoffel did not respond and just enjoyed his meal so politely.
"We understand that, your majesty, we will not make a fuss", replied King Hector who, unfortunately, is easily fooled by a cunning person like Erland.
"Your two sons are very handsome, noble", praised King Hector who sounded boring to my ears.
How come? even every day the guests who came were always the compliment he uttered.
"Aren't you inviting your sons and daughters to attend, your noble?" Asked Erlander, pretentious.
"Actually, they have research in the laboratory"
Uh, how arrogant the king is in front of me.
"Conan, can you come with me?", Invited my stepmother, Natelie Faith Invander.
I nodded slowly before following her steps towards the palace garden.
I admit that this beautiful woman is indeed such a good person, in my opinion. At least not like my cunning stepfather.
"What keeps weighing on your mind Conan?", The tone of the question was so soft.
"there is no"
"I know you're thinking about something, do you hate Hector?"
Checkmate. okay, I lost.
I just nodded slowly, but this woman just smiled at me while stopping the rarity.
"It's okay, I understand what you mean. To be honest, I also feel the same way as you", explained this woman to the point.
"You hate Hector too?", I corrected.
But there was no answer, only a faint smile that made me wonder what this beautiful woman really meant.
"You hate Erland?"
Oh God, what should I do? Should I be honest, or am I going to lie? Honestly, I'm not a liar, grandfather has educated me to be a good and honest person since I was little, even grandfather's upbringing hit my mind more than the education of my own parents.
"It's okay Conan, just say it", this woman is quite calm from her tone.
Uh, is it okay if I say I hate the crown prince in front of his wife?
"umm ...", I thought, and damn why am I looking so nervous right now?
"in fact... "
My voice seemed to be caught in my throat, I froze instantly, unable to answer a single question this woman had asked me.
"You just nod if it's true", whispered the woman.
I nodded slowly.
Again the woman smiled with a smile that made me feel the most guilty person in the world, Aaaarrrgghh all this is frustrating me.
"It's okay Conan, if I can be honest, I also feel the same way as you"
Wait, what does that mean? Does she hate a crown prince like me? Isn't she his wife? Okay, now things are getting complicated.
"what do you mean?", I ventured to ask.
"Have you ever heard of the story of Eros and Kaia?" he asked.
I nodded, actually it is the story I read in the ancient manuscripts owned by grandfather that night.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
I nodded again, for some reason my mouth would rather be silent than say something. Unfortunately, I felt that I was being thoroughly interrogated. I just prayed in my heart that after this I wouldn't be executed as punishment for my foolish act of telling me openly that I hated the crown prince, Erland Babbage Invander.
"I am Kaia Hypatia who only loves Eros and married Erland to hide my identity"
Whoa !!, okay, this situation is starting to get weird and unreasonable. My stepmother, Natelie Faith Invander, is The Warrior Wizard Eros' first love, Kaia Hypatia? I shocked immediately.
"Are you surprised?"
I don't budge one bit.
"Naturally if you were surprised Conan, or maybe Eric Godfey"
Wait, where does he know my real name ?? Oh God if you want to take my life now, then I will accept it because of this shock.
"Eros once told me a century ago, that someone would come from another dimension to help the successor restore the system. I thought it was you helping Gerald", he explained.
What kind of game is this, why the longer the storyline is getting more and more absurd.
"I beg you, follow the words of Eros who chose you to come"
What? Eros chose me to come? But why?
"let the time determine", I replied carelessly.
