I looked at the tree that was on the peak of the mountain.
The fruit that was in there was only one and it had a peculiar color.
It was golden.
'Well would you look at that.'
"Eden, the paradise in the book of bible."
Fruit of Transcendent: Eden
That fruit that was not part of the main storyline, but it was part of the dlc where it became a free world rpg game.
I just don't know if the rankers will come in this world.
Rankers are the players that wasn't in this world, rather they are the gamers in my past life, It was included in the dlc where everyone was free.
I'm also a ranker in my first life, part of the top 5 worldwide.
'Though it was still a very long time before their coming in this world.'
I can still remember those days where I would go to some internet cafes, just to play this game.
Alongside those children in the orphanage, I can still remember the days where I would steal money to the nuns in the orphanage, just to play the game with my friends.
"If not for those bastards in my first life, those kids should have been studying and living their lives, the orphanage should have been much better.
I can still remember those bastards' words before killing my past lover in my first life and making my life like a shithole.
'I really loved to see that 'mask' of yours crumble to pieces, I even killed my own sister that you loved just for that.'
'Your only part of a great scheme for the betterment of the world. All that was needed to be killed was already gone.'
Remembering my past lover, her blonde hair, green eyes and smile that shone under the sun, while calling my name with her sweet voice.
"What are you dazing off, ????"
I cant help but mutter her name alongside it was my piled up rage that despite already torturing and decimating those bastards...
my pain, agony, regret, still won't subdue.
"Elise..."
*Fwoosh*
I muttered while releasing my killing intent unconsciously.
"I'm getting too emotional."
I walked towards the tree and plucked the fruit.

as expected it was more ordinary looking that one can mistake it for a delicious fruit.
But well the top 1 ranker known as [Johnhattan] said in an interview that...
"It looks delicious so I ate it but to think that it was an op item I guess my luck was high."
I examined it for a few moments before making up my mind.
"Well here goes nothing."
Munch!
I said while I ate the fruit in my mouth and bit every single piece of it.
It taste nothing.
Yet I still continued on eating it until the seed was the one that was the only thing left.
"Now that taste empty."
I said while wiping off my mouth and holding the seed in my hand.
"Well let's see now what will happen."
I waited for a few moments yet a few minutes past and the system still won't send me a notif. about the changes in my status.
"Now that's peculiar."
Suddenly my body felt hot.
"Ugh! T-This!!"
It felt like thousands of ants was crawling within my soul.
It felt hot and uncomfortable.
'Arghh, I need to endure.'
I bit my lips and clenched my hands to a fist to endure it more.
My conciousness was slowly seeping away.
'Ugh, I guess I'm going to sleep for now.'
***
'W-Where am I?'
After going through that sleep, I don't know whatever place am I.
It was dark.
"Just what was this now?"
I tried to roam in this place that seems out of nowhere.
Then suddenly I've seen an illusion of a blonde man.
"Huh? Isn't this the trash of the duke's house?"
"???"
"Well look here, maggot."
He clenched my neck and hold me up.
'Ugh!! This bastard whoever you are I'll definitely kill you!"
"From now on your going to follow whatever I say."
"Your going to be my dog, with your power as a heir of the ducal house, my ascension within the throne will be easier."
He said with a smirk that wants me to punch that stupid face of his.
But I can't...I can sense that this man was almost at [A] rank.
He continued.
"And after that I will dispose you as you are no longer needed, and don't worry your fiancee and maid will be taken care of me, HAHAHAHAHAHA"
'this bastard really, but what was this?"
Fear
'Impossible! my [Cold Blooded] trait should be always on.'
But why am I experiencing this.
[Host!!!]
Then suddenly system's mechanical voice.
'This what was this system!'
[Host, this was the original memories of Edward Valentine of the future.]
'What?'
[Host, Edward Valentine has an alternate endings]
!?
'What are you saying!'
[In the game the players can choose whether he can live or not. If he dies then this won't happen. But if he lived then an alternative scenarios will happen.]
'H-How!?'
[I also don't know host, but be careful host, Edward Valentine was much more dangerous and scary than what you think.]
'How!?'
[I just got this from his soul. Once Edward Valentine was spared, he will be the duke and the Valentine household will collapse.]
'What!'
[His father will die, because of schemes, It will also revealed that Edward Valentine was cursed when he was young.]
'That curse!'
[Lament of the Forsaken]
A curse that can permanently, limit one's potential.
'Then what will happen after that.'
[Edward will make an syixm691;'70$-20(-7#....]
'!?'
'W-What are you saying?'
[He will be known as the [79292!$7"] in the game and will be a secret boss in the game.]
'H-How, what was his initial potential then?'
[EX]
'!!!'
'T-This isn't this much stronger than Alex!?'
[ His mother was not simple as you think host, even his father wasn't simple as the most strongest in the empire.]
"..."
After a moment of silence the scenario once again changed to the burning duchy.
"Kill all the traitors!!!"
"They dared to try and assassinate the emperor!!"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Screams, and agony can be heard.
"ROARRRRR!!!"
Then suddenly, a huge eastern blueish dragon latched on the duchy.
'The sea dragon, Aquin!'
"Hahahahahaha, to think that the Death god will dare to attack the royal family, he must be getting crazy."
'T-This.'
Cra-Crack!!
The scenario stopped and I am already back in the reality.
***
After waking up I can't help but be bewildered on those events.
"System"
[Yes host?]
"Who was that blonde man."
I muttered coldly while waiting to the answer of the system.
[Host, he was the 4th prince of the empire and one of the main villain of the game. Your first meeting will be in the academy.]
'I see'
"Now I know why this body suffered."
"Don't worry....I will kill him painfully."
[Ding!]
[New changes in the status]
[Ding!!]
[A new quest has appeared!!]
"Hmm? open the quest, I'll just check the status later."
***
[Quest - I want to live]
-Avoid the demise of Edward Valentine and kill the 4th prince.
-Reward: ???? and ?????
-Penalty: Destruction of the Valentine duchy
{Time Limit: Before the demise of Edward Valentine}

"!?"
[This is for you host.]
"Thank you system."
