The ground was filled with jubilant laughter, students going through procedures, seniors guiding juniors, parents checking the dormitories and many more. At this time people notice a boy with long legs, tall stature, three dimensional beauty, grey almost clear eyes and black hair with healthy complexion walking towards the gate with a small smile on his face. Although he had a gentle bearing but the imposing aura made people gave way to him subconsciously. After he passed by, some whispers could be heard,
" Who is that handsome guy and how have I not seen that face?"
"Oh you came later. thats why you don't know it's senior who is working all year in lab, he caused a lot of commotion when he was specially admitted on scholarships by college but he quickly vanished in lab, many hearts were broken for not even getting a chance when they missed him time and time again, everyone knew that he was dedicated to studying but now he finally came out!"
"Oh, who could possibly make senior come in person to meet? Is it some important Professor or leader or maybe family member, I have never seen them though before,"
"Or maybe its a lover..."
"Don't talk nonsense, he is finally out and going to graduate soon, we have to take this chance or otherwise it would be an eternal regret or ask if he have any siblings so we can go for them too.."
These type of small talks happened wherever he went but it didn't cause the slightest mood swing in the protagonist of the gossip who was in the midst of talking with the system in his or her mind, " So, I am finally going to meet the protagonist after living here for 10 years."
System: " Good job host for all the preliminary preparations before and now we can easily play as a matchmaker and complete our mission."
Lillia or Lillian now made an exasperated sound," Yeahhhh... the matchmaker..." System felt helpless about it's host, cause they have this argument since it bind her, according to her one doesn't need love to live happily, many things count and it's not the most important so, the right way to complete the task shouldn't be just to play as a matchmaker and everything will be solved. System knew that she was right cause human beings are complex organisms that still can't be calculated algorithmically and produce miracles when least expected so it didn't deny it but, "It's the most possible way after the calculation and considering all possibilities and efficiency for completion of task," and what it didn't tell him was that the only possible way for protagonist to take next step was to fall in love in this time.
"Yeah yeah if you say so..." but both of them knew that he will just follow his own thoughts after testng the bottom line of the system so far in these years, which can't interfere with it's host's decisions except for giving the general direction of world and main mission at the start and later only act as an adviser when asked for, cause unlike what's in novels where there is system mall, buffs, quests etc there are none here and we use our own body, adjust some things according the world's will and implant the memory of us being there in inmates, they will subconsciously ignore things related to us before our arrival and only remember basic things and system's arrangement for relationships also provides better opportunity for completion of task. There is also library later if first world is completed successfully it would provide with teaching materials needed at the time, which are brought through points and taught in learning space. So, we are usually sent way before main turning points and to adjust ourselves in the world. Well there is also freedom of choices especially after completion of mission we can as live we like, which is a plus point. So, let's meet our protagonist who according to system in a parallel world where cultivation and technology go hand in hand, although it's somewhat backward where mobile phones has just been introduced considering how aura returned 500 years ago, all the world went into chaos but now the demons have been separated by a barrier which weakens every 100 years, when beast tide occurs and many cultivators are sacrificed and heroes are born, he was one of them. Born in a big family with outstanding cultivation qualifications leading to rigorous training and expectations from young which he lived upto, these days basic cultivation is taught upto high school or can be inherited through family teachings and then we can either choose to go further into it or go for other ordinary jobs without aura, as living in society ruled by rules people are still within control, dark area still exists like before but rulers of each country are trying to keep people in check and maintain world economy and being while integrating and benefitting from aura as much as possible. Different continents have different systems for use of aura which leads to infinite possibilities, uhmm back to our target, he was other people's child from young age, showing excellency in both cultivating swordsmanship, alchemy and studies which led to admiration, envy and a gap among people of same age. So, he didn't have many friends except a few but mostly full of interests. Went to a prestigious university, later joined army, showed excellent leadership qualities, got promotion at an astonishing speed to major general with his own squad in his 50s only when people live upto 300 years which shows how young he was. After contributing in beast tide and died by self destruction while saving his comrades during an ambush due to traitors, leaving a benchmark for later generations. System came to him because it was found that even after having everything he still felt empty inside, so the system suggested for him to fall in love, as he had many admirers but he never got confessed face to face because of his cold temperament that makes people retreat thousand miles away, except for a freshman once in college, who was rejected as expected but died in a few months due to lungs cancer which left an incredible mark on him and later for many reasons he was never in a relationship so this mission came into being and I was bound to the system at the age of fifteen, I agreed cause it was interesting and I had a feeling that I would regret it if I don't make this choice, although my memory was blurred for most part, I remember my name and I lived in orphanage with many other children, with good relationship and a kind dean, I had an accident, although it wasn't serious but since I decided to complete 10 mandatory missions, a clone will remain there in coma there that system will use to fool people for at most 1 year, in which task is most likely to be completed due to time and space differences and if failed our bodies will be sent back as permanent death. Although there are dangers but it comes with benefits far and further and it was my choice from the beginning and I have to take responsibility for it. Anyhow, lets hope for the best, I thought while waiting for the protagonist or Cedric at the entrance of college.
