A tiny flickering light drifted through the vast cosmos for a vast number of years, with incredible speed that far exceeded expectations....
Soon, a feminine cold voice sounded from the tiny flickering light " It seems I've awakened after hibernating for billions of years after my previous master's death... Where is this place?"... The cold feminine voice of the tiny flickering light sounded again as it caught sight of an azure planet floating in the vast cosmos....
"It seems I'm in the milky way galaxy, this planet is called Earth , a civilisation that came to exist 10,000 years ago ...Well, let's head there .. Maybe I can find a new host there...."

Kaelin Darkhaven stood at the precipice of a high hill and heaved a large sigh tinged with hopelessness and despair....
The howling of the wind almost caused his lightweight emaciated physique pulsating with poverty and malnutrition to sway away, however he regained his footing, alarmed that for a second, he was scared he was about to die...
"Tsk, for someone who wants to commit suicide I'm really a joke... I can't believe I'm hesitating at the end... However I made my choice... Here goes nothing"
The 16 year old young man closed his eyes, then allowed gravity to perform it's wonders...
He fell from the precipice of the cliff upon which he stood, painful memories of his pitiful life flashing through his mind... Fear encumbered him as he was nearing the ground, however the memories of ridicule, pain and purposelessness he had suffered steeled his resolve... There was no reason to be alive, his life had been an epitome of pain for all his life... He was sick of it... It was all coming to an end.... " To think I forgot to leave a suicide note behind... It's not like anyone would have read it anyway ".....
However ,contrary to Kaelin expectations ,the fall never happened....
Kaelin opened his eyes, only to realize that a blue light had covered his body,causing him to suspend in mid air just before his body made impact with the ground packed with dense ,spikey rocks....
A chill run down the young man's spine as he gazed at the sight of a rock with a spiky surface beneath his suspended figure
" Damn .... I know I agreed to die but ...this is just fucked up...." The young man's attention returned to the fact that he was now floating in mid air...
" What the hell is happening?.. why am I floating....?"...
And his answer soon came ...
A cold voice resounded in his head,causing him to be more surprised.. " Human, you have ten seconds to change your fate... Say I accept, or I'll leave you and you'll fall on that rock and die"
"Change my fate?" Kaelin tried to process the words of the monotone voice that resounded in his head suddenly... His floating figure surrounded by the azure light glanced at the spiky rock beneath him, a chill running through his spine....
He had thought he wanted to die, but now that he was near death, he was scared shitless... Furthermore, the voice just said he had the chnace to change his fate...
"You are left with 5 seconds human...." The cold female voice resounded in his head again ..." Screw it... I accept..."
Just when Kaelin spoke, the monotone voice rung in his head again " Very well, you won't regret this..... " Kaelin's floating figure's trajectory changed upwards, landing slowly on the cliff upon which he had sentenced himself to death...
"Initiating assimilation of the Celestial Legacy System into host in 10,9....3...2....1...." The cold female voice resounded in Kaelin's head again..
After the countdown ended, A warmth Kaelin had never felt before washed over his whole body,followed by a sudden loss of consciousness...
***
A few hours later, Kaelin had woken up....
" Was it a dream?"
[You are awake]
The familiar cold female voice resounded in his head, this time, followed by some sort of screen with an azure light infront of him...
"So it was no dream".... Kaelin muttered.. He was not simply amazed though by the holographic screen because in this world of advanced technology, it was a normal thing ... However the holographic screens he knew of appeared in front of people from their ID watches, however he had never encountered Holographic screens that appeared in an individual's head .... This was rather what amazed him!... This entity was not normal...
He calmed down then asked " You said you'd give me a chance at changing my fate?.. what did you mean by that ...?" Kaelin cut straight to the chase... Whoever this strange entity was, he wanted to know why it was so interested in him and what it meant by those words ...
[ I am the Celestial Legacy System... An intelligent consciousness formed by the Will of the Universe to raise a champion that will rise to the peak of the universe and protect the universe from catastrophic harm ... I've had one host in the past ..She died by sacrificing herself to protect the universe billions of years ago, as the threat the universe faced at the time required that she detonates herself to kill herself and the threat that threatened to annihilate the universe..... However,all that's in the past now, what matters is that you've accepted to be my new host...Although you are useless now,I will help you to rise to the peak of the Universe... I am now completely bound to you, untill you die of course... If you die, I'll go into hibernation for millions of years as I drift in the universe before I wake up from hibernation and find a new host ....] The female voice rung,it's voice now tinged with emotion ....
Kaelin was shocked at the words of the Celestial Legacy system ... These things were too much for him to process ...Will of the Universe?.... Help him rise to the peak of the universe .... Was there something special about him... Is that why he was chosen....?...
[To be honest there's nothing special about you... However with me now things will be different... Simply say status in your mind , you'll understand what I mean ]
Anticipation has clouded Kaelin's eyes as he muttered in his mind "Status"
A holographic panel appeared before him.
[ Name- Kaelin Darkhaven... Race- Human.
Talent - Celestial : A celestial talent means that the host has the potential to contract uncountable number of beasts without limits in the universe and use all their skills and related affinities.You are the only one in the universe with a celestial talent because you have the Celestial Legacy system
Level of progress made to fully unlock talent : 3%-This means you can contract 100 beasts at the moment ...The system has designed specific quests for you that will aim to help you fully unlock your celestial talent completely..
Talent is simply a measure of how many beasts an individual is limited to contract in their lifetime.
Contracted Beasts-Non
Skills- Beast language (Host is passively able to fluently communicate with all beasts in the universe.)
(Emperor's domination -On activation,allows the host to with a simple gaze,tame a beast at his level )
New Quest

Show them all what you made of ...
Time limit (12 hours)
Reward
- 1 E rank Beast Evolution Fluid
Failure
-Host will be transported into a pocket realm to be roasted in infernal flames for 200 years then returned to the real world .... Don't worry, it be 200 years in the pocket world but it will only be 24 hours in the real world ..
Kaelin read all the information with bated breaths....Everything he had read shocked him...However , the last part however caused him to be scared shitless...
[Shocked right?... Even in the vast universe, no one possessed a Celestial talent, the highest talent that exists is mythical.... With the possesors of those talents being countless across the universe....They have the potential to contract just 500 beasts, and utilize the affinities of those beasts, in addition to the beasts also using their own affinities, making them extremely powerful... Individuals with mythical talents are called one man armies ...However, even with those with mythical talents in the vast universe, whether the beasts are willing to be contracted to them or not is very important... If they have a mythical talent and they cannot tame the beast to be contracted to them, their talent will be a waste of time... This also means that methods utilised in taming beasts are very important, so that people's talents do not go to waste .... The academies across the universe teach these methods...As I now have access to your memories, i suppose it looks like you are a normie,unable to awaken, and therefore you failed to enroll in any of the academies...But that changes from now...
Also being roasted in the pocket world part is serious, don't try to disobey orders host ...Else you'll suffer the consequences ... My goal is to train you to stand at the peak of the universe, not to tolerate nonsense ]
The system finally ended it's monologue,as Kailen processes everything he had heard....
" .. I don't have anything to lose ,don't worry, I won't run away from my responsibilities... Since your aim is to help me stand at the top of the universe, even if I'm supposed to kill a million people in one night,I"ll do it" Kailen's eyes flashed with a cold light...
[Very well ]
He had seen enough cruelty in his life , he vowed that he would do anything for power ...Being weak, was a sin in this world...
