...
'What does that even mean ?' Chaos thought as he kept on staring at the window in front of him.
He soon brushed the idea out of his head, there was more important stuff to focus about right now. From what he saw, Chaos understood some stuff.
First of all, the system was never meant for him, it was made for the original owner of this body, Aridam.
And strangely enough, the system itself couldn't erase him, the intruder, from this body. So it adapted and he became the official new user of the system.
It also unlocked some new features like the titles and class sections..
The system also changed it's perspective of the race of this body he's in, it used to be half demon-Half draconic. Which is who Aridam was supposed to be. But now Chaos was part of it, so it became also part void creature...
A void creature... That's what he was supposed to be before ? Well this body is definitely a lot of stuff right now..
After scanning the screen with his tiny hands, Chaos reached the magic Attribute section, it's all related to him now.
'Let me guess, dark magic for demon, chaos magic and void magic for...him. What about the draconic part ? Is it supposed to show in here or something ?'.
But aren't they all too much alike ? There has to be another attribute he's attracted to for being a part dragon too, but that's a problem for another time.
He kept scrolling through descriptions about the system and how it's supposed to be used or whatever, he was not in the mood to read them yet.
He reached the skills section.
The unique skill, Translation was still there.
But then his eyes moved to the Ultimate skills, Eyes Of The Fallen...
'what is that supposed to do ?' He never saw what he looked like yet so he didn't really know that he had any special eyes or whatsoever.
Taken by his curiousity, he clicked on the description of the skill.
-Eyes Of The Fallen: Skill of the highest grade. It's original owner used to be Khaos, the guardian of the Abyss and the shadow of god.
Khaos was know as the deity who embodies the void without form and the void that existed before the creation of the multiverse itself.
After the end of creation, his eyes was known to be lost forever from the ancient times.
'For an ultimate skill, it definitely has a hell of a description.. since I used to be a void creature, I guess it's reasonable for me to have these eyes, I wonder if all the void creatures has it thought.. well, it doesn't matter anyway since I wouldn't be meeting anyone of my kind.'
Chaos' eyes narrowed as he reread the description, 'this skill also has a fatal flow, like what would happen if someone poked my eyes ? Would I just lose them ? And is there a price for using the eyes of a literal deity ?'
So many questions popped it in his tiny head, but he kept on scrolling anyway.
+Skill set: -See Through World: The ability to see the flow of mana around the world and interact with it, and see through every illusion and and mind control directed against the user.
Doesn't consume mana.
-Guardian Of The Abyss:
-The Owner Of Time:
-Erebus Destiny:
Chaos' tiny mouth was left open as he read the abilities his eyes provided, and hell if it wasn't worthy of being an ultimate skill.
'Forget the fact that it has four abilities in one skill, even though I still don't know what the locked ones do yet, the first ability alone makes these eyes overpowered.' he thought to himself.
'It says here it doesn't consume mana so it's not bad to try it out right ?'
He closed his eyes for a moment and used the unlocked ability he had in his eyes.
And when he opened them, Chaos couldn't help but smile.
Mana was everywhere around him, cuddling him and roaming in the air. It looked like breathtaking northern lights, as if little invisible stars of raw power were staggered all around the world, people could feel them, channel them into magic or anything, yet for them it was like particles in air, they do not see the mana itself.
Except for him, which made him grin with excitement.
It was a world of mana...
'I should seriously go check a mirror, I wonder what my eyes look like right now. It says I can interact with mana..' He waved his arm in the air, little stars danced in the palm of his hands, they felt warm, and cozy somehow.
Chaos closed his eyes for a bit, he imagined redirecting the mana around him to run through his whole body, like a river. Throughout every limb and every vein inside of him. Inhaling deeply, he imagined the stars circling around his heart.. He was close.. but for some strange reason, the stars faded..
'I failed.. I don't get what did I do wrong ? Do I have a wrong understanding of mana or something ?..' he tried to not let it disappoint him, he's still a three days old baby for fuck's sake, he bets his peers couldn't do that too.. right ?
Chaos immediately shook off the idea and closed his eyes, trying to drift to sleep.
But he couldn't do the sleep thing. Aren't babies supposed to sleep all the time or something ? His mama always said that.
Does it have to do with his mixed shit body ?
I mean he's part void creature right ? He never seemed to feel tired of floating or the need to sleep before, he didn't even have a clear shape and muscles to feel tired anyway.
But except for his eyes from his void part, everything else in him seems human..
Chaos thought he was also supposed to be part demon and part dragon shit or something, where's that, he seems human.
He closed his eyes again, blocking his void part from interfering with the other parts of his body, and tried to focus on his senses.
From the race description, dragons are holy creatures with highly sensitive senses and are supposedly blessed by mana.
Exhaling slowly, he reached for the draconic part of him, waking up all of his senses in the process. He could feel and hear everything, from the sound of a butterfly wings to the voices of maids in the palace kitchen, to the steady breathing of his mother in the royal library... It was exactly ten seconds before his chest clenched and he gasped for air... Returning everything to normal...
'That's as much as a newborn baby could take... I could feel the world around me for a moment, even the mana around me ignited and filled my whole small body, making the experience too much for a my body...It was.... terrifying...'
-Skills: None.
-Unique Skills: Translation/ Dragon Senses
-Ultimate Skills: Eyes of the Fallen.
'Hm.. I guess I have to use a skill once on my own before it is registered in the system..
I think I'll check the description later'
The door opened and Chaos immediately lowered his head on the pillow and pretended to be asleep.
"The emperor requested your presence your highness... with Aridam." The voice belonged to Aria, my mother's close maid.
"I know, but should I really take Aridam with me ? I don't want that bastard to get any close to my son yet." His mother sounded really angry even though she tried not to show it.
"It's inevitable your highness, after all, even though he's still a newborn, The Selection would be held out tomorrow in the royal palace, and all the royal family members, including the emperor should be there."
The empress exhaled a defeated sigh, "I know.." she bent down near Chaos' bed and moved his short hair from his forehead in a tender act.
"But how would he be able to do it, he's not even a week old, I'm sure the emperor, even though he's such a bitch, would understand that I can't let my newborn kid participate in a holy crystal ball selection ceremony or some bullshit yet."
Chaos almost bursted out laughing once he heard that, she wasn't trying to be funny or anything but he couldn't help it. His mother's swearing for his sake was always pleasing to listen to.
"It's not some crystal ball ceremony your highness, it's supposed to be the event were the royal children of the family know their magic attribute, it's not dangerous, he only has to put his hand on the sacred magic crystal, and if some of them is talented enough to have an attribute like Fire or Light magic, he would highly be considered the next crown prince or princess and get an acceptance to attend the capital's magic academy in the future."
Chaos thought about it for a bit.
'It definitely does sound important, but Fire and light magic ? Are you serious ? That's lame, and who the hell needs to get to some magic academy or whatever I already know my magic attributes because of the system anyway. The crown prince position definitely sounds intriguing though..'
"Ah.. That. Yeah I remember it now, along time ago, on his ceremony, the emperor was discovered to have a double magic attribute, he was a genius. After all, the royal family is known for being the descendants of the first dragon. They're related to light and holy creatures..." The empress closed her mouth and Chaos saw the way her jaw clenched for a second before she continued, a pained expression on her face as she looked down at him.
"But that's a more reason why I don't want him to go to that ceremony, I know it's not dangerous...yet..."
Looking back at her now, and forgetting that he was supposed to be acting as if asleep...
Chaos' gaze lingered on her eyes, his head is going on a million question, but he had only one answer to how she was reacting...
'Aridam D Olivia was half demon-Half draconic. If we take the fact that the draconic half came from my father, then... My mother is supposed to be a demon..right ?'
'Rethinking about her words again. The royal family always works with light and holy magic, but since I'm her son too, my magic attribute worked with the dark demonic type.. And she somehow knows that too and doesn't want the entirety of nobility to see it, they would definitely think of me as a bad omen... But that doesn't matter..
If anyone tries to act or do anything about it, I only has to kill them before anything happens, that seems easy enough.'
My mother knows that too so she smiles, and I can't help but grin back at her too.
'The Selection Ceremony.. I wonder how will that go out..'
