No way! It's like those in the novels?
I stared slack-jawed at the bluish transparent screen in front of me, well not in front but I can see it wherever I look, it just hovers there.

It is really a system.

I'm now in a room with all my orphanage friends along with Sister Sanchez, and an Old man with Priest Robes with golden decorations of Sun-like art on them. The Old Man then instructed us to form a line, then one by one, touch the Bluish orb.
Now Its been three years since I awakened my memories, and life has been the same, I don't know why or how, maybe because I'm in my childhood state all I did was play along with others, studying how to read and write, then sleep, play, until were exhausted.
I guess I was fulfilling the childhood I never had...or not. Anyways, this is nuts! A System!? I was never informed of this!
Yeah well, the Sister mentioned something about awakening when I reached 10 years old, but I never expected it to be a system.
Speaking of where, according to the studies sessions, I'm in an Empire called The Celestial Empire and accordingly it was in the center of the continent, and it seems this continent is called Zenithia.
According to the book the Celestial Empire Located in the center of Zenithia is a vast and diverse realm, with many different regions and locations. That is currently ruled by a powerful emperor name Regulius the 4th and his court of advisers. The empire is known for its grand temples and palaces, and its people are skilled in the arts of Sun Magic and Sun Combat Arts as well as Alchemy.
I'm currently south of the Celestial Empire in one of the Cities on it, named the Golden City. It seems this place is home to the religious and devout believers of the Sun God, the official religion of the Celestial Empire.
This Old Man must be one of them.
"Hmmm, no talent huh? Next!" the old man looked bored as if expecting such things from the Orphans, then robotically did his task, not until.
"SAINTESS! OH, MY SUN GODDESS! IT'S THE SAINTESS TALENT!?" The old man stood in shock!
Let me guess... it's Shirley isn't it? Isn't this the trope of the Childhood best friend who was taken by the Church due to her talent? And no matter what the Childhood best friend did to keep them together, the authorities were stronger than 2 children wanting to be together, so they, in the end, they broke up never to see again due to the vastness of their talent, ah what a clic-
"SAINTESS! Shirley! Congratulations!" Sister Sanchez cried with tears of Joy while hugging the dumbfounded Shirley. She looked in my direction pleading for help, but hey? What can I do?
So I smiled and said "Congrats my golden dumpling" I smiled, whilst recalling our fond memories of childhood. It was sweet, but alas, it's time to move on...
Shirley smiled back innocently not knowing what dark times of troubles lies ahead.

"NOOOO!! I don't wanna leave here! I like it here with everyone! No!" Shirley vehemently protested and cried.
Hey, why are you looking at me on the 'everyone' part, there are other kids too you know...ugh, this is unbearable. Yes, I know I shouldn't but we've been living together our entire lives you know. I mean not in my previous one, but still.
"OSMOND! Help me! I don't wanna leave! T_T" Shirley cried, then ran towards me, the tears and snot on my shirt, I hugged her back while rubbing her back I comforted her saying "Shhh, it's fine, you're gonna be okay, and besides we'll see each other again in future okay?" no we aren't my Saintess. I groaned inwardly.
Well as explained by Sister Sanchez and the Old Man, since Shirley had that Saintess talent, she will be nurtured and apprenticed to the current Saintess, and as far as I heard, the Saintess is one of the top powerhouses in this continent.
The Head of the Church of the Sun Goddess.
So good luck with seeing me again, although I had my talent too, it's just hidden. I'll guess I'll have to explore it later. But for now, this takes precedence.
"Hey, hey" I cleared her tears and snot with my sleeve, and fixed her hair "We're gonna be fine okay, we'll see each other again in the future, I promise okay?" I smiled as gently as I could.
Hope returned to her eyes, and she looked at me with those clear blue innocent eyes, so pretty.
"Promise?" She pleaded "...Yes, I promised" then she showed me her pinky...ugh.
I crossed my pinky with hers and we both promised that we'll see each other in the future.
Hey! I'm a man of my word, it's just seeing right? How hard could that be...(It was very hard).
Now with the pinky promise in her heart, Shirley hugged Sister Sanchez and said goodbye to our Orphanage friends, and went with Old Man Priest, while saying/shouting "Don't forget our Promise Okay!? If you won't find me, I'll find you okay?" she kept looking back, those tears running again.
"I won't. See you soon, my Golden dumpling" We waved our arms back and forth until we couldn't see each other again. *Sigh
