(A white-haired man is sitting on a throne, and holds a watch. He is clad in black. Clad in a black coat. The hall is quiet. Only the tick-tock of the watch can be heard. The man breaks the silence by saying...)
The man on the throne- The time has come.
*A woman appears from the shadow,
probably an assassin*
The assassin- Yes master.
*Kneeling, she bows to him*
The man- The preparations?
The assassin- We sent one of us to every corner to scout him out.
The man- Good... Could you find him out and eliminate him as soon as he surfaces?
The assassin- Very well, master.
*She disappears in the shadows again*
The man(thinking to himself while holding his watch)- My only obstacle- huh? Let's see how entertaining you can be...
I am looking forward to it...
Meanwhile,
The goddess- Take a seat!
Aiden- I...
The goddess- Oh come on don't be shy... There's no time to waste!
Aiden- *pulling the chair out he sits on it*
Well?
The goddess- Have some tea-
*The goddess forms a cup of tea and sips on it. Then pushes the cup towards Aiden*
- Don't worry, it's not poisoned.
Aiden- *Takes a sip*
- I trust you.
The goddess- Nah! That's a bluff. Anyway... what's important is the discussion.
I will tell you first, if you have any questions, ask me after I am done.
*Taking a sip, she puts the cup down*
- The world where you will be sent to is Atrucia. A world of magic and sword... where magical powers surpass the inventions of science. Something you should keep in mind...is within a year of your surfacing, a catastrophic event is about to occur.
Aiden- *With a surprised expression he sipped the tea, but remembered to stay quiet till she finishes*
The goddess- Now you might be thinking, what's the point of all this if it ends in one year...
*The same sinister grin appears on her face*
- I am sure you're smart enough to know that I have a motive too...
Aiden (Thinking)- Sometimes I think I should trust her, next second she shows me reasons not to...This woman...
The goddess- Survive, and kill. That's your mission.
*Putting her cup down*
- An assassin, you can't expect to be so free so easily...can you? But don't worry, it's more feasts, less struggle, and I know you. That's why you're the chosen one.
Aiden (Thinking)- Can't she stop it herself?...Maybe It's above her abilities...? She wants me to surpass her?...Okay... interesting.
The goddess- Now confessions of the good part.
*Biting her lips she says with an amused smile*
- You will be granted special powers! Everyone has special powers, but you'd be a little different, and you get to choose.
Aiden(Thinking)- She's surely into some isekai stuff...I swear to god... victimizing me...
The goddess- I know most of these sound cliche to you...But I know something that might interest you to the core of your heart.
*Finishing her tea along with Aiden, she puts it down beside Aiden's empty cup*
- I know. What you hold the most dearest to you is your emotional connections. I'll give you a reason to fight...
*She moves closer to Aiden, looking eye to eye, dead serious*
-People you knew or know back on earth, have all been transported to Atrucia, just like you. Which means, they aren't dead...They are also here in Atrucia...with their memories intact.
Aiden- *clenching his fists he says*
For real?
The goddess- Yes. When I say I am giving you a second life, metaphorically it means, that I am giving you a second chance for your redemption. So-
Aiden- I'll do it.
*He says as he puts pressure on the table*
The goddess- Good boy~
*Ruffling his hair she says*
- But don't put so much pressure, it might break honey~
Aiden- I have questions.
The goddess- Ask away!
Aiden- You said, with memories intact. So does it mean they can recognize me if I bump into them?
The goddess- Depends. Suppose your mother, or your childhood friend Kage, both passed away when you were a kid. Now you have grown up, your face has changed, but unless they have amnesia, they might remember you, yes.
Aiden- And what kind of "special" powers will I get?
The goddess- Anything, ask any basic attributes of you, such as healing, movement speed, or anything really.
Aiden- I'd like to start as soon as possible.
The goddess- Before that...
*The goddess hugs Aiden, her rather mature physique making Aiden uncomfortable at first, but he is soon put to ease*
- I know you got tensed when I said that. It's okay...Things will get tense in the future. It's okay to take a breather. Calm down...You are doing wonderful.
Aiden- *No one had ever hugged him like this before except his sis and mom...he felt a familiar feeling in it...He truly did feel at home. He couldn't utter a word*
The goddess- Now...
*Letting go of him*
- Choose. Wish for any 3 abilities you'd like. Passive ones.
Aiden- *Taking a deep breathe*
First I want Health regeneration.
The goddess- Interesting...granted. Your health regeneration will be fifty times faster than that of a normal Atrucian.
Aiden- Berserk.
The goddess- Low HP power up? That's a little over the board...but I guess I can grant you this, the closer you are to death, the higher your penetration and strength.
Aiden- Good enough. And lastly, bloodlust.
The goddess- I can't do that, but something similar can be done. Your strength would increase upon striking an enemy close to death.
Aiden- Close enough. Alright, that's all.
*Aiden stretches his muscles a little, wearing off the stiffness*
The goddess- I must say... interesting choices. Not like I can judge but I know you know your game so...I trust you. One more thing, choose two attributes of yours that would be more prioritized.
Aiden- Penetration and Speed.
The goddess- Goodness! You thought it out, didn't you? Momentum force and penetration to apply it... didn't know you were so witty.
Aiden- Maybe.
The goddess- *Holding Aiden's hand*
- I am afraid this is where we part our ways. We won't meet again until you finish your mission. I would observe you but...
Aiden- What is this mission?
The goddess- *With a warm smile*
You will eventually come across it in the future...and according to how your judgment tells you to handle it, will tell if you finish the mission or not...But I trust you.
(Just as she ends, everything around Aiden slowly starts fading into particles, including the goddess herself)
Aiden- But-!
*Before Aiden realizes, he is in the middle of nowhere. A forest shore maybe, but there's a pathway leading deeper into the forest. He realizes, there's nothing on him, except a plain white T-shirt and black trousers, not too tight. Perfect for basic agile movement*
-So starting from scratch huh...?
Aiden- Let's see where it leads to... there's no panel, no magical paper. No nothing. I don't feel any different than a normal human either...Weird.
*Aiden looks at the path*
Aiden- Guess I can't just form things here out of materials...seems pretty real to me now. Well, let's see where this leads to.
*Aiden starts following the path*
(As Aiden keeps walking in the dead of night, he realizes, it's not that special. No wacky monsters, no magical predators yet...Until...)
Aiden- Oh I see a light source...gosh, I am hungry...
*Aiden notices something pouncing around in the shadows from the corner of his eyes*
Aiden- Hmm...
*Aiden takes a stance, ready to take on a fight. Suddenly a huge lion-like beast pounces at him from the forest*
Aiden- Yo- what the?!
*Aiden quickly dashes back, as the beast smashes the ground it pounces at*
Aiden- Okay I am faster than normal humans...But this thing-!
*The beast claws at Aiden with full strength. Aiden can't dodge this one, so he blocks in vain, as he gets thrown away into the air*
Aiden- Ugh-! This thing's on the next level...
*Upon landing the beast immediately starts striking, but this time Aiden dodges*
Aiden- I feel somewhat stronger...Alright...
*Looking behind him he notices poles pierced into the ground*
Aiden- If...what that goddess said is true...then my attacks can penetrate...
*He says while turning around and running full speed at the poles, dodging its attacks*
Aiden- This hideous beast...
*Aiden uproots the two poles, to reveal a sharp point underneath*
(The beast claws again, but this time instead of retreating, Aiden advances rushing at the beast full speed. Upon getting getting close the beast tries to bite Aiden. As soon as it opens it's mouth, Aiden puts the pole between it's open jaws. The beast bites into the pole, as it pierces through it's jaws. As the beast is put into unease from the pain, Aiden jumps on it's head gouging it's eyes out. The blinded beast starts clawing randomly. Aiden intentionally gets hit, and gets strengthened)
Aiden- Ugh-! Now the prey.... gets
Preyed upon-!
Blind and afraid, I will strike you down!
*Aiden gets up and starts rushing with the pole he has. The beast unable to see, couldn't claw at Aiden directly. Dodging it's blind attacks Aiden goes under the beast, and thrusts the pole on ground, the sharp end pointing towards the beast's belly. Aiden quickly jumps up into the air, pulls his hands and punches the beast from above, forcing the pole to pierce through it's belly, making a bloody mess*
Aiden- Fu...Fu...
*With serious injuries, Aiden breathes heavily*
Aiden- First kill...
Secured.
