It was a place which existed nowhere.
it Has no seasons, no moon,sun, morning and night.Devoid of the concept and rules of time.
The Ground in this space look like a glass shape sky,or more like a sea standing still devoid of waves.It's sky was filled with beautiful blue aroura.
In this fairy tail like landscape. Three things stood out.
Two huge ball looking projections with different colors and a man sleeping with his back resting on the glass shape sky.
Suddenly the man opened his eye.After checking his body, and his surrounding, he stood up on his feet.
{So i didn't die.}, he thought. He didn't come to the conclusion, that this was the afterlife for more than a second then corrected his thoughts.
{I am not in a fantasy novel afterall}, after finding that he couldn't get the answer as to where he was at the moment, he put this matter aside as he looked at what could have been a good or even legendary wallpaper he would put on his phone or computer's front screen.
in this space, he could see two familiar projections. one is the same brown star R-007 , which was the reason he was here.
{maybe my concept of distance is distorted in this place.}, He concluded that, this may be the reason as to why he can see it this clearly ,even though he felt that it was very far from him at the same time.
the other projection was the same planet he lived in since his birth,Earth. unlike the other star it was a hand reach away from him, that he couldn't help but want to touch it instinctively as if it was calling him.
the moment he did so—He was flooded by a huge amount of information that overloaded his brain in an instant.
this kind of speed of installing information into the brain, should have gave him a strong headache,or even kill him, But surprsingly he didn't fell even a little bit of pain in this whole processes,But he wasn't surprised by that for long.
he undertood his situation clearly from the information he had gained a moment ago,{ so now I am here only in a projection state, its no wonder i can't feel headache, not only headache. but most the feeling that needs a physical body, I can't feel them,like pain and pleasure. in this state,other than emotional feeling, the only thing i can feel is the touch of another projection or in other words another soul. }
that is exactly happening now as i put my hand on earth's soul.As I did that. i felt both the information it sent me ,and the cold feeling in my hand when i touch it, even though i said it cold but it was anything but uncomfortable.
As I was thinking of that ,I was still organizing the huge information that was loaded into my imaginary brain,or soul, I am not really an expert so I don't really know where did they go to.
Of all the information i gained, I at least come to understand most of the question that where bothering me since coming here.{ how i am still alive? ,Where is this? ,and what is next? }
The instant I defeated that minotauros,i was saved by the world from a sure death situation, because of my contribution, since it couldn't waste its energy to heal me in its interior when it might need it for the coming invasions, it sent me to where its soul is in the dimensional gap.
The Dimensional gap is another texture to the reality that exist to split realities, after healing me, she sent my body to another world that would Clash with it in a unknown but very close date.
One of the reasons for not returning me to earth was that this process would coast it more energy than what i had contribution .
Second is that after my proformance, it wants me to be its representitive and be its agent. By doing that it could readied itself for the future invasions, I on the other hand can also bring knowledge, items,.....that can strenght Mankind against the coming threats.{ Although it sent me to another world without my permission,but it had saved me as well,if not I would have already died,one should learn how to be grateful.there is also the fact that it didn't actually force me to work for it . It stated that if i agree in becoming its agent, she wouldn't do anything to force me .but she also wouldn't help me again to return to it and meet my parents again. }
even thought it said that this world and it, would collide soon, but that is only in its eye ,a star's concept of time and human's is a world diffrent, so it may as well be a day or a 100 year. But I as a human being with a limited and small life-span i can't afford to gamble here .
and another thing is—{I am not really against this from the beginning, Although I am sad I would parted from my loved ones for an unknown period of time, but if that mean that I could grow stronger to protect them from dangers ,and also find ways to strength them,then I have no complaints, In short and meaningful words, i am not really without any benifits in doing that, first and the most important, helping the world where i used to live in, my loved ones that are still in it, also my fellow human brothers and sisters ,to go through this crisis. Second. I would LIKE to grow stronger to protect my familly and loved once. also although i am ashamed, i do find myself getting excited to battles,but fortunately, i still don't like blood like what i saw in hak's past ,so i am not really crazy at least now I am not,but the future is vague since my unique skill is a very dangerous double edge skill. third , After a small conversation with the [planetary will earth] I got it to help me make sure that my parents,would be safe, In addition to that it would send them all the strengthing potions in the shop from level 1 to five for free so they could be strong enough to defend themself against monsters that appeard at this stage .I also got it to help me send a letter to them , so they will know that i am still alive, so looking at all this benefits ,i couldn't really find a reason to refuse such a great offer .}.
After coming to this conclusion I immediately I greed to its offer, after agreeing i start to write the letter for my parents, which took me a long time since I wrote a lot of thing on it describing my situation to them as best as I could,without fearing that anyone else would know about this information,since no one other than them could read it,if others tried to read it they would only find a blank paper.
After putting down the imaginary pen above the paper,it vanished.
Then—I suddenly found myself laying in the ground of an island that was surronded by sea water from all direction.
{so fast!} i thought.
i stood up from the ground as i wiped the dust from my pants .looking at the scenery around me i couldn't help but be dazed when i saw the surroundings colossal trees.
{ So tall,so big,there is no doubt this is not earth,there is no place in the earth where trees can reach this height, some of trees almost reached 500 meters tall. }
after adjusting my mentallity.I looked at the letters that appeard in my status screen.
[Congratulations for defeating the holder of R-007's authority, for that you had acquired the following rewards.
1: level 3,4,5 physical enhancement potions
2: a random skill scroll
3: the guardian class had became individual Leo's primarily class, skills of this class will be acquired gradually as the strength grow.
4: Title child of the star had been acquired ]
{So I became a guardian for good now. }, Looking down at the ground I saw a scroll and several bottles of potions that apeard before me.they were my reward for killing the minotaurs.
The potions bottles where three. One level 3,one 4 and the last is a level five potion.
Since level five potion is the max that appeard in the store this means,that after drinking all of them I need to find another way to grow stronger. {I don't think normal physical training, would really be of any help at that time. }
but for now let's put that aside and look at the skill scroll I got this time. After taking the paper scroll in my hand I didn't hesitate and cut it in the middle.
Then—
[Skill scroll had being used.
Using guardian Leo's right, the system is looking for the most suitable skill and needed for now
Scanning...
Skill found....
Dual passive and active Skill [ Indifferent ] had being acquired ]
Before I could go to understand how does that skill works,I felt my body becoming very cold to a point I never felt in my life.
No.
It was not my body that felt cold,it was the intangible concept that is called my [soul] that felt that way. My purple eye became very cold that i might have been afraid of myself, if it wasn't for me not being able to feel anything at the moment.
Without a second thought I went to the introduction of my newly acquired skill.
[ INDIFFERENT (Rank D):{active/passive skill} A skill that numbed one's physicall feeling and emotions at the same time ,as long as they don't go beyond the D rank level, Upgradable, will be automatically used if in danger.]
{ Hmm.not bad of a skill, it's what I need the most to ignore the side effect of using <
"Quest huh...", Entering the quest section I saw two quests waiting for me .
One was a long time quest ,no maybe it even should be called the type of with no end time.
[ Main Quest: protect earth from any foreign dangers
Reward: to be calculated ]
[ Quest 2: become the king of the island before the time limit of 3 months had passed
• Requirements 1 : can only use one potion every beginning of a month
• Requirements 2: find what could be beneficial to mankind in this island]
[Note 1: this world L-278 is a world where only animals live in so don't try to find intelligent life here.]
[Note 2: basic structure of L-278 after being scanned found to be very close to earth's so individuals Leo shouldn't worry about problems like oxygen and finding water and food.]
[Reward 1:a ticket to return to earth
Time :after ending the quest]
[Reward 2: gain a sub-class
Time: after completing Requirements 2]
"Hmm,there is a lot to do but first let's find something to eat,drink and a place to sleep in as well"
Then leo start walking in this unknown and unnamed Island with a black metal spear in his hand without knowing what kind of future is waiting for him in it.
3rd Pov
It's been a few days since Leo had been announced to be dead/lost.
Most people were grateful for his deed so when his funeral time had came not only the streets but the whole city where the funeral was set was full of people.
Even so not everyone saw him in s good light,since most people didn't understand why he didn't use the rope to save himself when he jumped from the cliff, or what is even his reason for jumping to begin with, most thought that he had committed suicide,which even with his deeds didn't put him in good light.
This of course was all directed by the government as to not show their ugly deeds to the public, they had done that very well,as none had talked bad about the government, they even praised it for trying to help Leo.
Although,a lot looked down on him and frown upon his suicide, his parents had at least got A very good treatment,even though the said parent didn't care about all that when they had already lost their precious child.
Since that day a lot of astonishing thing had happened on earth,the biggest and the most important was that earth's authority had unleashed on R-007.
Since that star didn't have any other defensive machinism,it didn't put any resistance, even though earth didn't use an agent to carry its authority like R-007. With that happening the two stars start to merge .
It's aftermath was a cleaner air,some strong earthquake at start, a bigger planet,a minimum growth in gravity,....
also mankind were able to quickly wiped out all the monsters that appeard on earth and those who they found when they went to a trip in R-007.
Before they could become happy for this victory they had received news of the coming of new invasions soon,so they put away the mode of celebration then start to make plans and train, But all of that seems to have nothing to do with a couple jessica and steven who had been silent since their child had died.
Not to mention that they had known truths that most didn't know ,that is the fact that their son had not sacrifice willingly,but— "You guys,can't you cheer up a little,Leo wouldn't have liked to see you like that" (regin)
"Regin you can go now,just don't care about us anymore,you sure have a lot of work to do now after what had become of the world" (steven)
"Sigh,at least get out of this room once in a while" (regin)
"Okay,don't worry we will do that later" (steven)
although he said that but regin couldn't believe his word when he said it with that almost dead like voice,but he couldn't do anything,other than letting time heal their wounds, "please take care of yourself,I am going now." (regin)
As regin closed the room's door, steven dead like eyes show a cold light on then as he said to Jessica,"honey, please "
As he said that Jessica looked around the room carefully for a while then said,"it seems they had taken them away" (jessica)
"Good" , { Those bastards put recording devices on our rooms for a whole 6 days if not for regin who told us before, they would have already know that we knew all what the Government did.}
"Unfortunately,we don't have strength now but we will make sure to get revenge on those who order this,even if it cost out life to do so" Jessica said with a tone filled with hatred
"But what should we do now first, gather some contribution point first ,or....",Before Steven could finish his words,he and Jessica saw a white paper floating in front of them that appeard from nowhere.
{I could swear nothing was there a moment ago,no that's not what I should care about. HOW THE HELL CAN A PAPER FLY? }
Before he could do anything he saw Jessica's hand moving toward it,as she cried "leo!".
{Leo! what does she mean? }, BUT after a closer look I know what she saw,I could swear that the letters in the paper were Leo's hand writing. { But how? ,did he write before he died.} I thought as I even I gnored the fact that the letter appeard magically.
I tried to take the letter from Jessica's hand but she glare at me, that I couldn't help but shuddered from her cold look.
"Just put it in the table so we can read it both of us" after I said that she nodded then put it on the table.
After sighing in relief , I looked at the paper in the table and read it silently.
"By the time you are reading this letter my dear parents, several days would have passed since my death was declared.Before I move on, I would like you to try not to get your voices very high. Then are you ready?"
Surprisingly we didn't find any line below that when we thought this may be some kind of joke ,we quickly remembered how this letter appeard supernaturaly.
After looking at Jessica who did the same as well, We nodded our head then said in a low voice "Yes, we understood "
After saying that a magical scene happened as letters start to appear in the paper again.
"Now,please calm down and hear me ,first I am sorry,this letter I might have been able to send it to you In the first day , but Because I was afraid for your safety after reading this letter, I made it so it would only be sent to you when you are not being observed anymore, anyway I said a lot so let's get down to the main topic, I am sure you might have realized by now.
ACTUALLY I AM—
FATHER PUT A HAND ON MY MOTHERS MOUTH"
I didn't know why he said so but I did,Jessica didn't seems to mind as well, After doing that, letters Start to appear again
"Then let's get back to the topic.
ACTUALLY I AS YOU MIGHT HAVE ALREADY REALISED , I AM ALIVE "
Reading this I was about to scream but jessica's hand was put on my mouth preventing me from this, Even though she looked like she herself wanted to scream but she held herself back.
she only cried in silent and kicked the ground in her excitement a few times, {Leo its seems I who need to calm down not your mother. }
"At that time I also thought I would die ,but it seems that God didn't want to spreated us this early, after launching the last attack against the minotauros that time ,I thought i would die from the fall,but such a thing didn't happen, the next thing that happen was that I was transferred by the system to ...."
After that he told us in the letter what happened to him,his deal with the palaentary will,and the fact that he is already in another world at the moment.
{At least he is alive now.}, that's what I thought , this also what Jessica had thought as well.
"Again,I am sorry I didn't inform you of this earlier. I only wanted to protect you, I am sure by now you would know who I am protecting you from ,although I hadn't know regin for long I am sure with his personality,that he would have told you of what happened, and I am sure that you are feeling now hatred and rage toward those people. But I am begging you now ,please don't do anything against them,I am not saying you need to forgot about revenge ,If you could please do, if not please wait until we meet again in the future, also by the time you see this message ,the system will reward you all the potions in the shop, please used them.to get stronger but make sure to hid that strength"
Looking at the system notice, we found that the potions already had came to us, "One last thing, I am sorry for all I had made you go through ,please stay alive ,love you and see you again as soon as possible ", With those last words the paper start to burn.
Me and Jessica couldn't say anything for long ,we both felt happy that he was alive, but even so ,our meeting time is still unknown.
"We could only pray that we meet him soon" (steven)
"Yes as soon as possible steven, as soon as possible " as she said that she burst into crying again.
"Ah don't cry again,we should laugh at time like this he is still alive and well "
"I know.i know that, but you are the last one who should say that,you are also crying "
As she said . I without realizing found tears falling from my eyes without showing any sight of stopping even thought I am very happy right now.
{even though, I am happy. WHY don't my tears stop falling down?}
As we start at each other I couldn't help but laugh ,while she followed me and did the same
"HA-hahaha....." her laugh was a little gentle .
While mine"HA-HAHAHAHAHAHAH" was that of some one who gone crazy.
Hearing my laughter ,Jessica who was laugh gently couldn't help but burst into laughing again but this time,she was laugh at me as she held her stomach.
"have these two finally gone crazy?"
"who knows."
the Two guard who were outside the door, thought that we had gone crazy when they heard us laughing like that.
