Chapter 8 - Chapter 7

" I remembered now " Ben exclaimed, his eyes widening with sudden realization.

In Sky Island, where most population of humans exists, the place where Ben is currently is called Miraar where alien species live. There were peace agreements exist between humans and other species to not harm each other. And live together but human believes and form their own separate kingdoms one of them in north Skyisland called the Mulberry Kingdom.

Due to political conflicts, shifts occurred between them and it was not safe the King was suffering from an incurable disease putting even the life of the castle in danger.

Taking advantage of this situation many forces had infiltrated the sky island.

" Princess was kidnapped but was caught because of betrayal however as time passed she became powerful she killed everyone responsible for her suffering, taking control "

"And Kidnapper gets killed " he continued, 

"This isn't a novel. This is the real world. I don't think the events will stick to the same script," Ben tried to reassure himself, though doubt lingered.

He clenched his fists, a bead of sweat trickling down his temple. "It isn't like I will die. I will just save her, and if things don't go as planned, I will abandon the Princess midway."

Ben was facing a crisis that every human fears death especially one who has felt it there was no way Ben would give up his chance to survive if there was one.

Ben was not extraordinary. He was an extra with the system who wanted to survive amidst destruction.

' I don't think if I die I will get another chance, ' he thought, his jaw tightening.

After he settles his thoughts, Ben goes straight to the mirror in front of his room reflecting off his bare extraordinarily raw muscular young body with jet-black hair. Eyes with the shade of crimson captivating.

His face was finely sculpted with a straight nose and high cheekbones.

"This is what I'm talking about," he said, sliding a hand over his face, trying to boost his confidence. "I should complete the daily quest and familiarize myself with those weapons."

Ben was standing on the roof of the same building yesterday where he stood but today the surroundings shone like a bright star the sun was a high city bustling with hovering cars. Ben had grown familiar with seeing alien species. 

As far as one can see all were modified buildings but what was most surprising was the structure of every building wasn't like that on Earth instead various shapes some buildings covered with glasses looking like a large ball. 

Ben took out knuckle gloves they didn't even look like normal knuckles as he wore them the knuckles disappeared as he opened his hand he formed a punch it reappeared.

' wow, it is a simple application but, perfectly, there will be no need to remove them just their weight ' he thought swinging his hand to weigh them.

' let's see what is in the fundamental use that I received yesterday '

Ben focused, took a stance, breathed in, and released a punch, tearing the air and sending a wave of energy. Addicted to the sensation, he punched again, forgetting his surroundings. 

Swish..." Unlike another punch, the force along with air traveled together and crashed into the window of a nearby building 

" Shatter !!" 

"What THE HECK!!, what happened "

" don't tell me I did that, for reaching there it will take "

" Hey system did I do it "

Ben didn't believe it because the power that punches held was extraordinary.

[ Host is highly capable of fighting physically. He has extraordinary stats.]

As Ben listened, Ben asked the system to show his stats

----------------

[ stats: 

strength: 35

speed: 21 

constitution: 30

dexterity: 20

energy: 25

------------------

' Why does this extra have such strength and constitution so abnormally high ' he wondered.' so it was all because he was never interested in using weapons.'

Ben now holds an element of surprise with his strength he can now catch an enemy off guard.

 

Two days later...

" I have to go all alone " Ben already knew, but he was just acting.

standing along with Katie near a shimmering portal inside a small room. Katie saw the screen on which several numbers blinking at a rapid pace she shifted her attention to Ben

 suddenly Katie caught Ben's hand and said " Ben stay safe, treasure your life on all other things"

She handed him a small device. "Here, take this. It will help me locate you. Just press the button if you're in trouble; it will generate an emergency protocol."

Ben didn't say anything, only watched Katie Making everything ready for his departure.

Valine had contacted him and explained what he had to do he would be arriving as a new servant in the castle and when the princess went inside her garden he would apprehend her and leave the castle along with the princess by the portal.

Valine will help him to infiltrate him. Now all depends on Ben's performance. Ben knows the whole plane is filled with whole and if something goes awry he will have to solve it by himself. But what if he ended up getting caught? He was going to the lion's den. Several questions were present in Ben's mind but he kept them to himself. He was already risking his life so why fear to go all in?

"Ben get ready portal has gathered enough energy, You might feel dizzy this is your first time," Katie said with concerned

" Alright," Ben replied, as he watched the shimmering portal brimming with energy and brightening the room.

"It ready, " Katie finalizing the finish said 

Ben stood next to the portal, tilted his head, and saw Katie giving him a thumbs up. Without any more delay, he enters the portal. 

"ughh.."

' my stomach, it's churning 'Ben said 

Suddenly his surroundings changed ben was on all fours was vomiting his stomach out

" My journey didn't even start I already feel like dying," Ben said as he stood up wiping his mouth.

" Where am I?" Ben questioned because where he was present didn't even look like where his destination was set.
