Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 42 - System?

[ Place: Unknown, Time : Current ]

“Hahaha.”

“True, true as it is human. Get into my trap. Be our victim as you should. Accept your destiny and do not fight it. You may be able to feel death without pain, perhaps even comfort. Ha ha ha ha.”

In a place filled with darkness, a man was laughing watching the battle between the Eternites and humans.

The man was wearing black clothes, covering his entire body including his head. His own face was the darkness itself, while his eyes were shining brightly.

He held a scythe, resuscitating it near him as he sat down.

That person is the mastermind of the small cracks that occur in late Japan. And for him it was a fun pastime, how humans had to fight against monsters that were for him only ants.

“You better not forget your duty.”

While the dark man was laughing out loud, someone entered his territory and said not to forget his duty.

By the way, that person was the same person who led the Rulers at the time of the third Invasion. Men with white hair and wings.

“Cih, stop interfering with my pleasure. Anyway it's time for me to play with those little humans.”

“I came here to remind you not to overdo it. After all we still need them to balance authority. Moreover, do not underestimate humans, we have already suffered defeat in the second Invasion. If there is another defeat, God will probably use his power on us. ”

“Ke to. No need to remind me, I'm not like that stupid Dion or that damn woman. Besides, you have no right to order me. You're not my leader. I never considered anyone to be my boss even lord.”

“Remember our destination.”

The white-haired man let out his pressure. He was probably angry at the dark man's words. It's just that what sentence he was angry with was unknown.

“I only know to make them cattle.”

The dark man was not a submissive person so he countered with another pressure, using his dark energy. And in that place, the two energies collided with each other, only stopping when someone interrupted them.

[ The Bed ]

“Tiring day."

I dropped myself on the soft mattress and then exhaled a long breath.

‘Really, tiring day.’

Okay, I know you may be wondering what happened after Maya and I were alone. So straight to the point, nothing really happened.

(......)

I know, I know, for someone like me not to take action against Maya it's shocking isn't it? After all, she was very seductive. Well, there's no need to praise me, I'm embarrassed.

Ehem-well let's talk seriously.

Actually as I said before, nothing happened between me and Maya after that. It was because Maya directly shifted the topic and the topic I could not ignore.

So instead of having a romantic atmosphere, we ended up having a serious conversation instead.

But take it easy, I already returned his confession when he rushed to leave the room. And seeing her face flushed red and misbehaving, she was a little cute about it.

So what are we talking about? Well, it's about my parents.

All this time my parents have been researching a mysterious object or artifact. And they finally managed to find the key.

They entrusted it to Maya to give it to me after I grew up. You noticed? It means I'm an adult, remember! I'm an adult now. That way I can-ahem.

Okay, where are we?

Oh about the mysterious artifact?

Whahuh? You already know that? Then why not tell me. Hah, alright no need to think about it.

……

‘So what is this thing?’

I was twirling around an ancient cube, trying to figure out how to use it. Maya didn't explain what it was, but if my parents had to take a long time to find the key, it meant it was very important.

Well, Maya said that I should put my blood in and then follow the flow of the 6 Sundanese characters that are there.

Let's get started.

I sat up straight, then pricked my finger to draw a little blood.

After that, I put my finger on the first letter, the shape is similar to the combination of the letter zh with the letter h slightly italicized.

I made my blood into ink following the letters.

The first letter is finished, then I do the same thing with the other letters.

The second letter is similar to the number 77. The third letter is irregular, but like a snake. The fourth letter, I do not know how to explain it, will probably be similar to the symbol [v (reverse) then the symbol > on it. The fifth letter resembles the number 7 crossed out with the symbol of the line and the symbol is also on it. The sixth letter is the same as the third letter.

"OK done. But why didn't anything happen?"

Not long after I said that. My blood, which coats the ancient letters began to turn into white light then black, ash, green, red, blue, brown, purple, transparent? the dark? finally the golden yellow light.

Wait, it's starting to float.

Drifting off? Right, hovering and now those six letters are starting to surround me or my head. I started to stand up to prepare in case anything happened.

And after that,

“ARGH!”

One by one every ancient letter entered my eyes, it felt uncomfortable, even to the point of making me kneel. I put my left hand in my eyes while my right hand was still holding the cube.

‘Not this feeling anymore.’

I said while continuing to endure the uncomfortable feeling.

The feeling I was feeling right now was similar to the feeling when I recalled my memories in the void, but fortunately it was lighter. Otherwise, I might have fainted.

My eyes honestly let out a golden light. I don't know what changes will happen to me, especially my eyes after this is done.

……

A few minutes later, all the uncomfortable feelings were over.

“Hah... Hah... Hah.

I was breathing irregularly and trying to calm down.

Right now I'm still closing my eyes, lying on the floor. And after I opened it, my eyes grew brighter. But there was no improvement as I imagined. I thought I'd act like a sasuke. My eyes are as before.

Well, it would be wrong to say there was no change whatsoever because my pupils might seem to glow. It may be only a temporary effect. I hope so, because it will be problematic if my eyes continue like this.

I looked at the cube in my hand to see if this was done. And sure enough, it's not finished yet.

The cube shook a little and-

SREEETS

The cube changed shape, spread out, and tried to cover my right hand. I didn't fight because it was useless.

But after that, gradually what coated my hand disappeared.

Again I feel nothing.

[ Data confirmed ]

‘Hm?’

When I was a little disappointed, I saw a hologram in front of me.

I've seen this hologram before, it looks the same as what I saw in the void.

[Combining the process ]

[ 0% ]

[ 50% ]

[ 100% ]

[Successful merger ]

[Welcome, Sir]

“....”

“What?”

……

……

[Ice Domain]

In an ice-covered world, there was nothing to see except ice and oceans. There might only be a magnificent ice palace in that place.

Inside the room, sat a beautiful blue-eyed and snow-haired woman. His eyes were sharp, his expression cold, and his position was full of arrogance.

However, when he sensed something, he for the first time started to smile. It goes against what we imagined before that he has no emotions.

“It appears he has already gotten the thing.”

He smiled as if he was looking forward to the future.
