Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1 Death and Rebirth

 

____The image of a beautiful young woman lying on the bed, saying something in a soft voice, hugging a baby and crying sorrowfully that tears fell down in streams and hit the baby's face in her arms. The image of a young woman in a cloak carrying a baby on a long journey in a horse-drawn carriage, placing the baby's basket in front of the church with a letter on the baby, looking sorrowful and sobbing. The screams and shouts in front of the church in the morning, everything became just a dream that shattered in the morning like smoke.

 

....

 

____Thick eyelashes fluttered open in the silent darkness. Phantom opened his eyes again from his dream. The boy took a deep breath, the bone-piercing cold air was inhaled through his nose and spread throughout the boy's body. The freezing cold air made Phantom's mind fully awake, without the need to wash his face or drink coffee.

____Phantom immediately realized that he was dreaming about the old dream again. The dream was still the same. On the day Phantom was born into this world, he was born in a dark, dank basement with no light. His mother was surrounded by about 5 midwives. Phantom still remembered his first day on this world very well. His mother kept saying the word 'Phantom ' non - stop and said many other things that he couldn't remember because at that time he was in the state of a newborn baby . Normally, people who have had children before will understand that in the first hours after a child is born, they or she will not open their eyes. But that day, Phantom just learned another secret. Even the baby's voice could barely be heard. But after many years, he finally remembered the one word his mother kept repeating: ' I'm sorry, my dear. I love you. Your mother and father love you very much .'

____This is a dream that even though it has been almost 5 years, Phantom still dreams about it sometimes and vaguely remembers it.

____Phantom 's eyes swept through the darkness of his dorm room, and he knew immediately that he was in the real world. Above his head, he was practically touching the ceiling, as Phantom lay on a bunk bed. He was staying in a church in Metrolight City. Metrolight was the capital of the Aurora Kingdom. The church Phantom was in was the Cathedral of Light. The Cathedral of Light was one of the main religions of the Aurora Kingdom.

____Phantom recalls the day he died and was reborn. He was originally one of the top secret agents of a superpower country on earth. His original name was removed from the list of people on earth in any aspect or connection. He became an anonymous person. He has many faces and thousands of fake names. But his code name is ' Phantom ' . And that became the name that his enemies and allies know. He can do everything. He can speak many languages. He can hack computer systems easily. He can drive many types of vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, war planes, tanks, and submarines. He can even drive a trailer truck. Although his identity has never been revealed to the public, he has made achievements for his country and has been involved in stopping many wars.

____But what Phantom got instead was a silver bullet shot in his back. If it were just a few bullets, he would have dodged it. But Phantom was shot with an automatic laser machine gun controlled by a human-like AI. His final place of life was his headquarters.

____Phantom didn't understand why he was treated like this after his great achievements. He had already given his life to his country. In fact, even if his motherland said they wanted Phantom to die somewhere, he would be willing. Unfortunately, the bullet had already severed his heart and voice box. It prevented Phantom from asking his boss about the reason for killing him. The last thing Phantom saw was the cold gaze of his boss. In fact, his boss was Phantom's younger brother. At that time, Phantom's heart was as cold as it is now.

____It was unbelievable that after he died, he was reborn like a phoenix, but Phantom just couldn't understand why with all the contributions he had made to his country , why it didn't allow him to enter the land of God and rest. What he found was freezing cold air all around him and his mother who was crying all the time.

____After several days of travelling in a carriage, the sky was dark and cloudy all the time, the baby was surprisingly placed in front of St. Maria's Church. When Phantom was just born, he could not sense time, but his observation and calculation of distance were basic skills for a spy. This allowed Phantom to know that the carriage that took him had travelled for several days, leaving many cities, passing through villages, forests and mountains for a long distance. Finally, they deliberately placed the baby's body in front of St. Maria's Church.

____The reason why Phantom believed that they did it on purpose was because throughout the days of their journey, the carriage passed through many cities, and they would eventually come across several other churches. They could have left Phantom at any church if they just wanted to abandon a baby, there was no need to make such a big fuss. But they specifically traveled to the capital, and even left the baby at the church's gate in the early hours of the morning.

____If it were another baby, they would not be able to remember and know everything since their birth. But Phantom remembered everything, everything that his mother and her servants had left in front of the church with their intentions. Moreover, the letter also emphasized that the baby's name was ' Phantom '. He did not know if it was a coincidence or the will of fate, but that was his original code name or nickname .

____Almost five years had passed , but it felt like 500 years to Phantom. People often say that time flies when you are happy, so he must not be feeling so happy right now. St. Maria's Church finally took him into its care. It was no wonder, after all, St. Maria's Church was a church, a hospital, a school, and an orphanage.

____In fact, this Church has the status of a high-ranking sanctuary under the Cathedral of Light. St. Maria's Church has one Bishop of the Cathedral of Light, five priests, ten sisters, and hundreds of orphans. In addition, there are many Acolytes and Novices.

____This is where Phantom grew up. Most of the bishops , priests, and sisters are kind, but not for others. Even though it is a church of faith with high income and receives a lot of donations every day, but because of the too many people in the church and the greed of the people who are never satisfied, the children will secretly compete with each other behind their backs. Whether it is competing for food, clothes, valuables, or even competing for favors, the orphans will always try every way to be loved. They want to be seen by the bishop and sisters in the church.

____But Phantom didn't need to try anything. Phantom showed signs of intelligence since he was young. He could learn to speak since the first week he was in the church. The boy could absorb all the knowledge around him like a sponge swallowing the waves of the ocean. Not only that, Phantom was also a person who knew how to make adults like him. The worst thing was that Phantom was very pretty. Most people, even the disciples, would always admire Phantom's appearance first . He himself saw his own face when he was allowed to look into the mirror in the Bishop 's room . When he saw Phantom , he was quite surprised. The delicate skin and silver silky hair should be on the body of another girl rather than on the body of a boy.
