Vaanavan was very confused and not understanding most of what that system saying, if he was honest with himself. He couldn't completely believe whatever he heard from The 'System' as it like to be called.
According to it's explanation, he was brought here by an impressive and extraodinory method, something sounds like an Unique Spatial Passage only system could construct or make it possible in the lower realms, from it's indifferent bragging.
System didn't stop there, Vaguely telling Not only he was about to die and it was caused by some slow poison, before he brought here : he clearly remembered not eating at anyone's place or attend any public event for at least couple of months, he didn't have a enemy or even small rival of any sort; so he could not guess why anyone would go such a length to kill him off? besides why doesn't he felt anything abnormal in his body as a advance knight he could find some Abnormality and he wasn't so sure about the term 'slow poison' and it's definition.
But he didn't interrupt what the system have to say ' it has nothing to do with his fear towards it or anything' as he gave his word, he was first willing to hear what it has to say. More over he still wanted to know the purpose of his abduction and more importantly than anything he was planning to ask a favour of cure her.
If not ask of a way for the cure also fine: because he has a suspicion the system was a Dame not a normal knightess when she was alive, after all she still had horrifying powers. but he had some doubts as his understanding of spirits and ghost or very lacking, did they still have life force or similar force, if not the system power even had any use to him but still he didn't allow a possibility slip through his hand.
Maybe it has some knowledge useful, regarding medicine or human body purification or some abscure treatment method. unlike a few centuries back where high level knightess or not that rare the last notable Dame was half a dozen decades before. Womens life force tenacious not Vigorous like men's so it was very tricky to cultivate, they have to put double the effort to cultivate higher stages, cultivating till advanced knight wouldn't be a hassle. but ancient books mentioned they are compatible in practice magic the nearby Amara empire has lot of such a practitioners.
As for the wild fairy tale stories, it kept sprouting? ' Is that system take me as a stupid person? From what it was kept claiming, it managed snatch my soul, from God knows how distant from 'Kela' to 'this planet' and reconstructed a body for him, like it was nothing ' he indeed Learn something new to broden his Mind.
'How can there be a world outside of their 'Kela', he never heard of something this absurd, 'What was even more outrageous was the system claims there is even more in the Starry sky ' This was some serious outrageous imagination? the system must have so much time to kill inside the cave ' This was something impressive, he lived his last few years with bunch of teenagers who, came up with all sorts of excuses to skip the physical training, now and then; even he had to admire them some time.
Vaanavan once secretly thought if he had, half of their talents in making convincing excuses; it would had benefit him very very greatly. especially the hardship he had to endure under his father's iron gauntlets.
'What a pity ' he sighed, aside from the reminiscing and delusions if he had say something, about the kids. That would be they are wasting such a God sent opportunity throughly: The teachers are all respectful knights, Their guidance was extremely valuable, the training grounds, weapons, library, life-force chamber, hunting area, battle platform, who would arrange such a things for them just because they have money and young in age.
Vaanavan planned to ask the system some help, and cure her illness or stabilized her health some time, high-level knights are not only powerful but also capable people they cultivating their life force to unimaginable level the life force is used to treat illness it was said to reattach severe limbs but high-level knights are not often seen.
Since it was a new type of fever this could take some time to make it cure. The life force of high-level knights have strong effect on ordinary people, it can make people life force stronger and he once read it in academy library when, some dangerous plague spread in the empire few decades back. high level knights selflessly assist with the physicians to save countless life.
The only problem here is, they always liked to live a secular life and very hard to find them his line of thought was more towards his academy principal, than those high level knights hiding, who was at the very least exemplary knight stage.
Academy principal was at this stage even he can't heal her stabilized her health wouldn't be a problem giving time to cure decease, the fever would not be a problem; if he lucked out he might even get recommendation to high level knights to personaly treat his mother the live force of that level can't be underestimated.
Seeing the system seems very powerful, he wanted obtain it help to at least stabilize his Mother's health. It wasn't over the top request since he was sealed here doing something for it, system had to do something and look after him , as for what it was planning to do with him, after the Mission , he didn't dare to think, he felt out of his depth from the very beginning this bizarre encounter.
He didn't eaten for few days but not feel any hunger or weakness, he can survive like this little longer than ordinary people but water is must, maybe exemplary knights or higher level knights could but even they have to breath right? he wasn't sure. but the cave was completely sealed no sunlight coming but there is fresh air, the floor is little dusty.
When he first came tried to escape failed miserably because of the invisible screen surround his sitting place in the cave, when he ran in to it feel like iron plate; very painful experience then he slowly moved around the cave.
There is something cool and hard stopped him from moving further, it wasn't a wall but a glowing screen like thing if he poked it, there is light multi color glow from where his fingers touched,he can't see past half a meter even by the strong light of even pressing his whole body weight.
As they talked, he became more aware of the situation. He was brought (sealed) here because, the system cannot act on it's own; if it's not for the situation where the system was chosen by someone and had to do something about situation of the humans in this world.
The system didn't really care about the humans or the situation of the world at all, from it's own quote [it was just a low level world that's all, how's that facing calamity going affect me] Since it was chosen for this purpose,the system had to do something about it; for some reason it decided chose him.
Thus the partnership came; since it got something to do with humans it's host has to be a human as well precisely, even the said System bragging to be more powerful than the White Robed Saint of his world.
When he pressed with more questions,of why is that? all he got was vague answers: The system couldn't use it's power on it's own to achieve it's purpose. Forbade by something more powerful than it, So it chose him as a host from thousands of light years away from his birth planet to here from system words.
'So what about his life and his dreams, and what about his loved ones. he have been planning to bring his mother to city, this was more important to him than the so called Mission '. he sighed to himself, the system was very unreasonable, now giving feeling it was unreliable as well. ' hmm Should I try to escape one more time but more careful of any surprises' such a thought did crossed his mind.
Even if he give it some benefit of doubt, for the all of these 'unbelievable stories': why was he sealed inside the dark cave, what does the system expecting by doing this to him; should not it be okay to bring him out to train him and familiarize with Situations and People to better understand the culture and think up a plan so he can have people help. He long come to the conclusion from the nonsensical things the system believe, The old gho- Ahem, the system is little crooked in the head.
Most Shockingly the system has told him, he wasn't the first choice offhandedly, before him there was another person chosen from far away world as well, because of the task difficulty he died. But there was something in the system's tone creeped him out, there is more to it then what it's told him.
Vaanavan took his time to think what he heard, sort things out so he could understand his situation better think of a plan A, Plan B and so. He never believed the system fully in the first place, since they come to an agreement he was only willing to listen what it has to say.
When he asked a question about the Task to it, he noticed that, often the system distract him from the topic, little suspicious he pestered again and again what he had to do? The system, this time out right refused to tell him, claiming it was not the right time to talk about those things.
This was a heavenly secret and asked him to not worry too much about such a things; system promised to make things clear for him sooner then later. Everything was set in motion, the System did made some precautions to alert him in the right time, meanwhile all he has to do was prepare for the task according to it's instructions.
Vaanavan heard a exasperated sigh from the System, rised his eyebrows. "What is it, are you alright?" he asked with awkwardly, he noticed in the midst of their conversation he suddenly became self absorbed and contemplating, 'How embarrassing, it was the first time he was behaving rude and acting out of Manners' he, didn't want to aggravate the system. when he was about to ask system his favor he was interrupted.
[ I really can't convince you with my words, huh? How about this then! I, have retained the memories of the previous host it will make you Understand things better grasp of your situation and even help you broden your mind, let go of your current thought process. Are you interested? You can view them in your head]
Vaanavan flinched, his eyes gone wide" y-you Can retain memories from other people head? " he was horrified from the system's nonchalant tone.
[What so great about it. why are you, so surprise didn't you already know I can read minds? I did read your mind remember? Host! you are not a ordinary person from the beginning, you see and know things ordinary people couldn't and have any knowledge of you, should a have calm and stable mind to finish your Mission keep that in mind. should I play it]
"Play what???" did it want him play some game?
[I Mean show the memories]
"Yeah sure?"
Vaanavan felt there was a flash in his mind, he pulled in to some kind of dream like scenario, he was standing above a big round thingy he felt very tiny compared towards it. He looked around surprised this was the sky, he was flying unsupported his body, hmm? was spectral and see through 'What is this? '
He looked beneath his feet once again a huge blue and green orb. He was dragged towards it by some mysterious force, he screamed as he rapidly descended, next instant his eyes were wide in wonder he was already standing on the ground.
It was a magnificent world with humans! the buildings were tall and mighty people were rushing here and there in rush, the roads were solid and black and light posts with various colors. Humans were eating in some huge tavern like buildings some eat by the road sitting outside.
There was some weird artifacts of all size rushing in the road like carriages but seems magically moving on its own with humans in them. he looked up saw something playing in the sky with weird sound, his mind become muddled.
Vaanavan felt it he, was still dragged by the force time seems to move in different speed than him as he notice all sort of things, came to his attention out of nowhere, he was standing there stunned. Then there was another flash he was now watching life of a child an individual life closely, it was also started to speeding up so he couldn't see or hear everything, but he somehow understand their weird language.
The kid grow up study at schools and some academy, gotten a job, married, have children, just when everything seems normal something bad happened. he gotten in to an accident, his body severly injured about to die on the spot.
Vaanavan's jaw hang open when he saw what happened next somehow before he could die, a transperant soul rose up, that was grabbed by some force rise up to the sky then a multi colored lights flashed it vanished.
He was transported back to the cave he was very familiar to him. Then, the sleeping soul started to condense a body in few hours, he noticed the man awakening from sleeping state. He acted similar manner to Vaanavan to some extent, but that was it! The man didn't know how he came here for sure. then he heard greeting from a very familiar cold voice. 'was it addressing me or him' Vaanavan thought, what surprised him most was The Man's reaction.
"You are a system, **** I can't believe this! something like this happened to me. It's ****ing unbelievable!" after mumbling something in excitement, he interact with system in a weird way to say the least.
"Show me, my status " then there was a transparent screen open up. Vaanavan watched everything with rapid attentions before long there was a flash, he was went back to the cave. he was realized the memory was over, but he didn't see how the previous host died.
Vaanavan didn't talk anything, his emotions was in turmoil, then it's really mean he was brought to another world.
