In a forgotten civilization.
At the center of the labyrinth, there was a skeletal corpse breathing.
A cloud of black smoke came out of it and formed a shadow.
'The thing that I found beyond worlds started its phase for growth.'
'As long as nothing happened to my puppet, his system would come back to me.'
'That way, I would be reborn with that creation that I manipulated and I will dominate everything that comes across my path!'
The skeleton mumbled and hoped that the current Gaun would create his system with that gift.
'The Death God System in my plans, I will become the Death God that can manipulate darkness magic at will!'
'Darkness! Darkness!'
His tomb echoed with sorrow, his people died the reason to find that thing.
However, he made sure that their sacrifice would come to fruition.
Suddenly, the corpse's eyes almost pop out.
"What?!"
"The connection!?"
His face despaired.
"No!!"
"Impossible!"
Thinking that his beast is colorless when it was already attached to the target.
Cannot be seen by the naked eye and would blend well with the skin.
"How did he find that!?"
Suddenly, the eyes of the shadow became lifeless upon realization.
"My people's sacrifice!"
"The treasure that we found!!!?!???"
A heartbreaking cry in the tomb suddenly resounded.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
…
"How did I even get a reward when all I did was simply survive??"
"What did I experience earlier?"
Young master Gaun asked a series of questions about the system.
Ding!
[ The host needs to ask one question at a time. ]
Young master Gaun was speechless about the system.
'What? I thought you were an all-being system?'
'The significant change?'
However, he did not expect it out loud.
This situation made him feel like he was a customer in the supermarket.
Cough!
"Forgive me, I just wanted to know why and what happened right now?"
"Why am I rewarded?"
"How did I gain a Mana Core and its holy light attribute?"
Ding!
[ The original host was crippled in body and soul by the favored son of heaven.]
[However, the current host is not the original host of the body that was crippled. ]
Young master Gaun nodded while expecting the system to continue.
Ding!
[ So the current host soul is not entirely crippled but only the body. ]
[ However, as the body of the host is crippled while the soul is not, the system found one way to improve… ]
[ But it's the only way for the current host to improve. ]
Young master Gaun nodded.
'Yes?'
[ And it was through miracle. ]
With this sentence, young master Gaun had a foreboding feeling.
'Through miracle??'
Ding!
[ The host wanted to survive in this plane through a miracle. ]
'Miracle?'
Young master Gaun thought he was guilty but that should be given since he is a system.
Ding! i
[ Yes, host. ]
[ A miracle is a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered being the work of a divine agency. ]
Young master Gaun knitted his brow in confusion.
"So?"
"What is the connection between miracles and when I thought I was going to die earlier?"
Ding!
[ Life and death situations. ]
[ When the brain thinks that there is only a winner or loser, effective or ineffective, and successful or unsuccessful. ]
[ Either doing it or you're not. ]
[ There is no middle ground and there are no levels of severity. ]
[ That is when in life and death situation, you improve or you die. ]
Young master Gaun looked at the system notification with wide eyes.
"You mean?"
As if he understood what the system was telling him.
Ding!
[ In the most difficult times, humans would explode their potential in a life-and-death situation which creates miracles. ]
Young master Gaun's heart was beating fast.
Still not processing if this system is real or not.
Ding!
[ Miracles would happen or the host would die. ]
Young master Gaun seems like he knows where this is going.
"I-"
Then he felt his heart drop when the next notification changed in front of him.
Ding!
[ The host needs to court death to improve now and in the future. ]
Young master Gaun tried to hold his breath.
He quickly reacted.
"What the hell? I thought you were some gift that could make me a dominator instantly?"
"How did this happen?"
"When did you become a system that will force me to seek death!?"
Ding!
[ When the system was reforming, the host wished for miracles to happen. ]
[ Plus, it was beneficial for the host since the system couldn't find a way for the host to improve with a crippled body. ]
Young master Gaun felt the world caving in but he knew there was always a price for everything.
However, he wanted to know how.
'When did I ask that?'
Ding!
[ Earlier, the host said he needed to process the thought. ]
Young master Gaun's body slumped as he remembered it.
He tried to wriggle.
'Can you change?'
Ding!
[ Charge: 83. ]
[ The current host cannot do that anymore, one choice at a time. ]
[ Once a path is created, the path will be the only way. ]
Young master Gaun's eyes squinted with questions.
[ Only one path? ]
'What about the Devouring System that you are supposed to be?'
Ding!
[ The host is controlled by the parasite earlier. ]
Young master Gaun shook his head. He should be thankful.
At least he got a system. He just doesn't know what will happen in the future with this assistant system.
Young master Gaun thanked this information that the system had given.
"That's good."
"I'm thankful."
"I'm going to ask for more information in the future, like owning my magic practice arts from you."
Young master Gaun knew he hit a jackpot.
He needs to be positive.
Ding!
[ Cannot find the answer. ]
'Huh?'
Young master Gaun's eyes squinted.
"So if I court death, I can improve my magical order?"
Young master Gaun asked again.
The system felt like it was not omnipotent like the other systems in the stories he had read so he wanted to find out.
Ding!
[ The host needs to find Holy Light magic practice to improve the host's magical order. ]
Young master Gaun felt this was a little off, but he didn't complain.
At least he knew where the system stands.
Not a system that he expected would give anything instantly out of nowhere.
"So what is the Miracle valkyrie body?"
He asked carefully.
Whenever a magician or a knight awakens, a Mana Core.
There would be gifts given to them.
In the story, it was so rare that only those with the main character, heroine, supporting characters, and villains had them.
Miracle Valkyrie's body seems like one of them.
Ding!
[ Ability and Passive ability received. ]
Ding!
[ Ability: Miracle Valkyrie's body. ]
[ Gift curse: True face of Angels. ]
[ Passive Ability: Extra Life: 1. ]
[ Current lives: 2. ]
