Chapter 2 - The Chosen One’s Pick

Seeing the discontent on Xion's face, The Creator then asked " why?"

He then answered truthfully. I don't like this super-complex one, can I have a simpler version? The one with these small things, one status display, the system only gives daily missions with minimal reward but can identify talents that I develop over time, one yearly red packet of good ability/talent randomly, and one personal spacetime-like cultivation array of learning.

The Creator then snaps his finger and the system is downgraded to the man's request with some restrictions to upgrade.

The System is then magically linked to the man's consciousness and bonded to the soul. The Creator then asked, why did you neglect almost all the benefits of the super-complex system? Xion answered slowly, I enjoy the process of growth after seeing the video of Heroes and Villain and I want to experience the journey, either becoming good or bad is not important but I am sure I won't be mediocre again! In the end, he clenched his fist below the table with determination in his eyes. But his action didn't escape The Creator's eyes.

The Creator then asked several other questions about family and what kind of world he pictured in his mind. He answered one by one slowly but each answer made The Creator delighted with it but unknown to him, The Creator still tinkered with the system a bit.

Lastly, The Creator said, let's drink after a long talk… I am pretty sure you are getting thirsty now. and suddenly on the table, a coconut water-like drink is filling the glass with the words "Knowledge" and " Creativity". The man looked at the glass and found that the paper and the ink in it were slowly melting and mixing with the coconut water and a fragrant smell wafted out of the cup.

He observes the process happening right before his eyes and gets curious about the taste... unknown to him that this magical drink will give him some boost that he will need in the future of his unknown life but also erased all his memories and knowledge that he has during his conversation with The Creator… unconsciously he grabbed the glass handle and drank the drink. It tasted sweet like wine but also sour like lime at the aftertaste.

After drinking, he felt drowsy and started to close his eyes but at the same time tried to resist it. The Creator then speaks, "my child, you may go to your world and aim to reach the peak once again" as Xion stands and walked towards the portal, The Creator continues, your name is no longer Xion Tillmitt but Wang Xion, as you are seeking the way in the world you will have the peace that you've lost in your former life, seek no more bloody path but flower road… but if you have to return to the bloody path, use the system wisely... and then, the portal slowly dimmed. The world you choose is complicated, but you will survive it somehow... if your soul can pass the first trial, the battle of the system... the second trial world acceptance will once again hinder you like before you gave up, and if you succeed, the last trial path to becoming the Lord of Seven Mountains will be opened... Xion, while closing his eyes... feeling that his body is in a situation where like floating but also falling from high places….

"My child, everyone is hoping for the easier way of life with the system, but why did you choose to enjoy the process? What can I do now that it is your wish... after all, Free will is the core of your mind". said The Creator as he watched thousands of falling stars raining the multiverse, especially at Xion.

-------------------

In New Hope Hospital, Sha Tin District, on the fourth floor where the rooms are mostly reserved for people who are in comatose situations, a woman is sitting next to a bed where a young boy is sleeping peacefully. She's holding his hand while telling random stories about places and their beauty to the boy.

It is still unknown to her whether the boy can hear her or not, but all she can do is just talk to the boy hoping that he is hearing. the woman herself was pretty in the picture that has been placed on the table next to the bed, but when she moved her face towards the side, there's a visible surgery scar which could be clearly seen from her left cheek to the neck.

She got the scar from an accident 3 years ago when she and her husband and their only son were going home from a family camping trip, where they got rammed by a sleepy truck driver on the highway. their car swerved and smashed the side roadblock and goes into the forest next to the highway and she ended up with a branch stuck in her beautiful face.

Her husband can't be saved and died on the way to the hospital because too much blood loss since he was thrown forward off the car when it hit a newly broken tree that breaks because of unfinished tree cutting. That's also the reason the splinters of the branches were able to pierce her face because the glasses are shattered from the impact, fortunately the highway was pretty close to a rest stop so many people passed the road and noticed the accident itself.

The truck driver was dead on the spot after being thrown out of the truck through the front glass and landed head first on the road, some part of his head deformed because of the impact.

Young Zian himself was sleeping at the back of the car and got thrown inside the car, his head got several head bumps and had internal hemorrhage and concussion which caused him to be in a comatose state. He was 9 years old at that time and it's been 3 years since then.

Yuyeon, the mother, brewed some herbal tea for herself while reading a book about places and attractions and telling stories to her comatose child. a trace of loneliness can be seen in her beautiful face, but she strengthens her heart to hide the tears that almost drop from her brown eyes.

Surgery nowadays can easily remove the scars in her face, her father in-law, Zian's grandfather, already asked her to have surgery to fix her face but she refused it and says she's already grateful with her condition now.

Yuyeon is still 37 years old and still in her prime where many suitors already asked her hands again even with her scars on her face. the only trait that most people noticed from Yuyeon is that she's so filial to his in-laws. Yuyeon doesn't have a family except Zian and Wang Zhang lei, her father in-laws. Wang Zhang lei's wife died when Wang Feng long, his only son, was born because of malnutrition.

Wang Zhang lei was poor back then because he himself and his wife are orphans that run away from the orphanage because of child abuse. Wang Zhang lei worked hard to raise Wang Feng long on his own, until he opened a store, and expanded it in later years.

When Wang Feng long took over his business, he chose to sell all the stores, gave some money to Yuyeon to build a music store since Yuyeon likes to plays instruments and invest it in healthcare and build the best clinic in the town which later years became the New Hope Hospital where Zian is treated.

Wang Feng long himself met Yuyeon when going overseas in Seoul as an exchange student in university, he was 21 years old, she was 18 years at that time and working as a part timer to support herself.

They started a relationship because of common interest and two years later, after finishing his study at Yonsei University.

That day was bright and sunny, Wang Feng long, entered the convenience store and find Yuyeon. "Yuyeon-ah, it's been two years since, i know you, and we are in relationship. I want you to be with me as my one and only wife? He asked out of the blue. Yuyeon was stunned, but quickly composed herself," No." Hearing her replies, Wang Feng long just look back at Yuyeon, no words walks in his brain. Yuyeon continues, If you really meant it, just marry me instantly, no need to make such a fuss."

Hearing the unexpected answer, without any hesitation, Feng long grabs her hands while shouting, "gage juin-nim, I am taking Yuyeon out for a while" and drags her straight to the local administrative office to register for their marriage.

Since they are already considered mature and in legal age to marry, there's no difficulties in the process and everything is settled legally. Both of them are a married couple the next three day, one week after processing their passports for Yuyeon, they fly back to Hongkong, where Wang Zhang lei resides.

Wang Zhang lei got the first shock of the world later at Chek Lap Kok Airport when picking up his only son, only to find he also had a daughter in-law. Five days later Feng long and Yuyeon had their traditional marriage in Sha Tin as per custom in Hongkong.

It was the happiest day for Yuyeon since she's able to take care of herself, and mostly because now she has her own family that truly cares for her. At the age of 24, four years after her marriage with Wang Feng long, because Wang Zhang lei already retired and giving everything to Feng long, He urges them to have children, Yuyeon later got pregnant and a year later Zian was born.

Zian was born on the 29 December, Unification Year 4000, where the weather is nice and warm before the new year. there was no complication on his birthday at all. He was born healthy and handsome with soft light silver hair. His eyes were the most eye catching one as the nurse can see that the color is light green which is rare in babies.

Feng long doesn't want another child since he wanted to be like his dad that only raised one son, while saying things that makes Wang Zhang lei feels proud and grinned ear to ear for days and convinced that one son is enough for their family, Yuyeon doesn't seems to mind about it since she respects her husband way of thinking.

They spend their happy days as Yuyeon gets busy tending to her only son and playing instruments, Feng long with the hospital, and Zhang lei with his friends playing mahjong. But One fine day, on the road home, the accident occurred.
