[And one of the chosen one is you, Aarth Eloi]
Aarth became stunned for a moment before he shook his head and said "W- Wait hold on a second, what do you mean by that?"
[To put it simply one of the chosen defendants which is you dear host will have to complete the task given by the Judge]
Aarth's eyes shook as countless of thoughts flashed in his head thinking 'The Judge, the Judge himself? Chosen…I'm one of the chosen? Why me?'
His thoughts lasted for minutes before he took a deep breath and said hesitantly "What if I refuse?"
[Responding to host's question, the host will die just as what is meant to happen]
Hearing this Aarth froze as he recalled the words of the doctor, he died…so does that mean the reason he is still alive- no, came back to life is because of the Judge?
Aarth frowned and contemplated as the system said [What is the host's decision?]
[Will the host accept the Judge's task or will the host refuse it?]
Aarth was silent for a long time before he sighed and opened his mouth as he said "I agree"
[----Ding! ----Dong!]
[Congratulations to host for successfully synchronizing with the system!]
[Would the host like to see his status?]
Aarth rubbed his chin curious and said "Yes"

Seeing these Aarth was slightly stunned not expecting such high attributes, he smirked as he thought 'Interesting'
He thought 'So my gift is called Jinx huh'
Standing up he stared at the mirror and held his right eye as he thought 'This eye…is either a miracle or a disaster given by the Judge'
Rustle Rustle
Opening the drawer he searched for a clean bandages and finally found one as he wrapped it around his right eye thinking 'If the guilds found out that I have such a power this would cause chaos'
Staring at his reflection he furrowed his eyebrows as he muttered "I need to tell this to someone…someone I can trust"
Closing his eyes he pondered before opening it again and as he said "Noah"
*****
At an abandoned mansion that was hidden in the depths of the forest a youth held the phone while looking at the window as he nodded his head slowly and said "I got it, I'll meet you there in a moment"
After turning off his phone the youth heaved a sigh and grabbed his coat as and mask
Just as he was about to leave he suddenly heard a voice
{It's him again, tsk why are you so nice to him?}
The youth frowned and ignored the voice but the latter continued as it smirked and said {Could it be because you think he is your friend?}
The youth paused as he held the doorknob
{You're nothing to him, you should remember that only I am your friend, the one that was always by your side when everyone else abandoned you}
The youth flinched before gritting his teeth as he said coldly "Shut up"
The voice laughed playfully as it said {Oooh scary}
The youth gnashed his teeth as he opened the door and strode out.
*****
At a cafeteria in a small village Aarth rested his chin on one hand as he stared outside the window
The villagers were all walking smoothly and happily and seeing this Aarth was slightly envious knowing that starting from now own he won't have the same kind of life as them anymore
Cling
The sound of the door opening made Aarth came back to his senses as he turned his head and saw a small silhouette walking towards him
As the silhouette got closer Aarth was able to see the person's face and smiled as he said "Long time no see, Noah"
The person called Noah nodded and hummed as he sat opposite to Aarth
Ordering Aarth asked "What do you want to order?"
Noah hummed as he said "Anything is fine"
Aarth nodded and said to the waiter "Two cups of cappuccino please"
After the waiter took the order Noah spoke as he said underneath the mask "I almost didn't recognized you, what happened to your right eye?"
Aarth laughed awkwardly as he said "It's nothing, just a scratch from an accident"
{He's hiding something from you}
Hearing the voice Noah was indifferent as he narrowed his eyes and said "Tell me the truth, Aarth"
Aarth giggled as he raised both hands in air and said "You got me"
Noah chuckled as he said "After so many years of knowing each other do you think I wouldn't notice the difference?"
Aarth squinted his eyes as he said "You mean the two of you?"
Noah rolled his eyes as he said "Don't bring him up, he's annoying"
Aarth laughed and said "Agreed"
{You two! You guys are the annoying one hmp!}
That's right, Aarth also knew Noah's secret ---- Noah has a split personality
That's why everyone abandoned Noah, because they say he's not sane anymore
Only Aarth was there by his side when he was all alone
They've known each other's secret for a long time, they grew up together
Now…
"What exactly did you invite me for? Is it because of the eye?"
Aarth just smiled but didn't answered as the order came he took a sip of his cappuccino and said "Let's talk about it in your house"
Noah sighed as he leaned on the seat and said "So you want to come over to my place I see"
Noah then narrowed his eyes as he said "But you're not the type of guy that would do something without a reason"

Night time came and Aarth and Noah arrived at Noah's mansion as they entered and went to the library
Closing the door and the windows they made sure that no one could see or hear them
After making sure that everything is secure they both stared at each other as Noah said "So what is it then?"
Aarth was silent for a moment before he took a deep breath and unwrapped his right eye
The moment the bandage come off Aarth opened his right eye which made Noah froze
{Hm? Haha now that's interesting!}
Trembling Noah raised his hand and pointed at Aarth's right eye as he said "This-…"
Aarth nodded as he said "This…"
"Is what i wanted to show to you"
