After a while;
"So, my name is Raphael Ben Noah, the King of this celestial race called Godkin, and for some reason, five thousand years ago, I left my home Aquiloria and then somehow went into hibernation period until now. Meanwhile, I originally had 13 immortal guardians called Zodiac Knights created with my essence; you two are those knights who stayed with me, seven betrayed me under the influence of this Godkin called Architect and joined some ancient organization, and the remaining four were imprisoned in Aqualoria. This is my story?"
Noah doesn't have even a tiny bit of memory of the body his soul possessed it. He remembered his death scene but didn't understand why his soul transmigrated to this immortal god's body.
Virgo, the maiden-looking monster, nodded as she wiped out her tears, "In a gist, that was your story, Milord. *sob* *sob* Never in my life had I ever imagined that I would be forgotten by His Majesty. *sob* I mean, I was your favorite Zodiac Knight. You spent so much time with me whenever you were disturbed. *sob* *sob*
Leo, the lion head humanoid monster, fell to his knees, "According to Gemini, your powers were sealed inside by your soul artifact. Architect, that cunning fox, dismantled it into seven pieces and gave each one to a betrayer. I saw one in the hands of Cancer when I fought against him recently. He was the one who told me about the dismantling. Your Majesty, give me an order and I shall track down that crab and capture him. With that injury I left on him, he shouldn't have returned to his organization to save his pride. This is the best time to capture him,"
"Umm… okay?" Noah, a human in his past life, was definitely not comfortable having a proper conversation with Leo, who looked like a monster. He doesn't know whether Virgo is a monster or not, but at the very least, she looks like a human. Hence, sending Leo away became a priority for Noah.
Leo summoned his divine hammer as he got up with a smirk on his face, taking a glance at Virgo, "You can put your trust in me, Milord. I never failed to accomplish the task you had given me in the past and I never will in the future."
Leo walked away with heavy steps; each sounded like thunder. The hammer left sparks of electricity as he dragged along; Noah couldn't help but observe him, "An armor made of Elerium and the weapon made of adamantine, just what kind of position I had in this world that even my servants were so powerful and had such equipment that I don't even dare to imagine acquiring it in my past life."
Noah shifted his gaze to the holographic screen floating on the side. There was a 3D illustration of his appearance above and information on the body.
It was the 3D illustration of a teenage-looking boy, with pointy ears, silver hair that is long & wavy, and emerald eyes that have profound wisdom, dressed in elegant black and scarlet robes. His appearance was quite otherworldly.

"Sure enough… this body is quite special. In my past life, A human player should have only 25 stats at best and even a legendary-grade summoning magic beasts said to have 200 stats. Moreover, those insane skills even at level 1. Don't know whether should I feel bad or happy…" His gaze fell upon the level once again, followed by the number written beside the age.
"…"
In Redgar Noah's past life, blessed individuals awaken the player system. They kill monsters, gain exp, level up, and gain automatic knowledge of skills every 50 levels.
When he died and transmigrated into the body with the shared surname in whatever world this was, Noah's system also transmigrated with him.
While the original body's memories are all locked, Noah could feel the body's personality.
He was originally a righteous person who could not see bad happening in front of his eyes, he was an ambitious person who never missed an opportunity to get stronger, and he was also a guy who had plenty of attachments to his friends and family. But, right now, he couldn't feel anything.
Is this how one feels when they live for more than 200 million years? Or perhaps, this is a characteristic of a godkin?
Who knows…
Noah doesn't dare to tell these monstrous loyal individuals that he has been transmigrated. Hence, he first sent away the fierce one. Then, placed his attention on the quests that were generated from his earlier conversation with these Zodiac Knights.
Main Quest: Collect all fragments of your soul weapon (0/7)
Side Quest (1): Reach Level 50 (1/50)
Side Quest (2): Form a summoning contract with a magical beast
Side Quest (3): Create your own skill
Side Quest (4): Collect your Zodiac Knights (2/13)
Side Quest (5): Punish the betrayers (0/7)
Side Quest (6): Save the loyal subordinates (0/4)
Side Quest (7): Find the secret of your transmigration
Side Quest (8): Unseal the memories of the host (0%)
The system-generated quests are more like reminders than the usual quests one would accept at the guilds. The only problem was that the system wouldn't issue it automatically. Just like a reminder, it has to be issued by the user, and then the system will track the progress automatically.
"Hmm… let's see… leveling up takes priority here. Luckily for me, I have this strong subordinate. So, use them to level up. Since this woman is in the so-called ascendant stage, we can just go and hunt a level-500 one for the starters. My level would instantly boost to atleast 300 to 350 in one go. But, the problem is that we cannot share the exp spoils in a party system if we aren't separated by more than thirty meters when she slays the boss. And staying within a thirty-meter range in the presence of a level 500 monster would be disastrous. At my stage, the risk of death will be close to 99.99%. The passive skills say that I would go into this five-millennia deep sleep period if I die. Nah, I cannot take such risks. Should I take it slow? Ugh… what to do… if only there is some life-saving treas…"
"Milord… milord…" Virgo's voice brought Noah out of his thoughts. "Yes?"
Virgo hesitated a little bit for a few seconds but eventually took a deep breath, "There is something that His Majesty ought to be aware of. It's about your sister."
"I have a sister too?" Noah was curious.
Virgo nodded, "Yes, Milord. Three days ago, I heard that she too woke up from her slumber. However, your relationship with her isn't great. I worry that she might come after His Majesty once she learns that His Majesty's powers are gone. As both of your souls are interconnected, if His Majesty moves from the spot, she could find out that His Majesty is alive."
"Three days ago?" Noah furrowed his brows. Three days ago, his soul entered this body and the system sealed the soul of the original host. Was that the real reason? He couldn't help but wonder.
The system was quick to reply.
*Ding! No need to worry, Mr. Noah. The connection between you and the other party has been severed. You have nothing to worry about.
"Really? That's great, Aria…" Noah's eyes lit up and blurted aloud, taking Virgo by surprise. "Milord? Who is Aria?"
"Nothing. It just came to my mind," Noah corrected his tone. His gaze then fell upon Virgo and let out a smile, "Virgo." The latter, feeling his gaze upon her face, couldn't help but blush and look at her feet, feeling nervous, "Mi… Milord?"
Noah said, "Let's go out. I wish to explore this world and see the changes that happened during these past five millennia."
"Just the two of us traveling alone?" The maiden in blue robes abruptly raised her head to look at her lord; excitement could be seen on her face, "As you wish, Milord."
