Challenging The Eternal Ivons

I felt my eyelids move as I gained consciousness. I felt something very soft on the left side. And a smooth hold on my ass and my head. A comfortable feeling invaded my heart, reminding me of my childhood and my mother.

The next moment, a sharp stream of rays entered my eyes, making my vision blank. Gradually it cleared up, and I could see a face. I became numb and kept staring.

A face which less human-like and more of an artwork by gods. Blue oceanic eyes, jade-like skin, and green hair as if being blown by a light breeze of nature. A golden ring was placed above her forehead, magnifying the beauty of everything.

I could see the tears in the woman's eyes who was holding me. I felt some kind of connection that made my heart pain, upon witnessing those tears. A moment later, a large majestic hand came into view and the tears were swept away with a gentle touch.

Then I heard a surprised but majestic voice.

"Look Var, he's awake. I knew my son would struggle his way to life." He laughed loudly.

"Hahaha. Even the gods can't kill the Ivon born."

The woman looked at me. Her face changed into a happy one for a second, and then she started crying.

"My son. You are okay. My baby.." She fell apart into tears, holding me tightly.

"Don't cry Var. He's awoken now. How can you cry in front of him?"The man consoled her and took me in his hands.

"Var, you haven't slept in three days. Rest now. Our son has his duties."

Finally, I looked at his face. If the woman's face was called the best creation of gods, the man would be the best creation of devils. A chiseled face, dark red eyes, and flow of black hair from the head to shoulders. A handsome being capable of charming every woman on earth. Having a crown on his head, and posing majestic smile he held me, but I could see vague wetness in his eyes.

"Yes." She cleared up her eyes with her sleeves and laid back.

"He can go, but make him wear something first."

It was now, when I realized I was stark naked. I was about to curse when I analyzed it again.

'Fuck! I am a baby and they don't curse.'

"Yeah, I need clothes mother." Was what I said looking at the woman named Var, but the thing I heard was something like.

"Gaga, Ga Gege dag godo."

Which made me come to a conclusion,

'Babies don't speak as well.'

"See. Even he agrees." The lady smiled, although her eyes were still wet.

"I am sorry sweety, but he can't until he has a name. Family customs."He had an apologetic look on his face, while he said it.

He turned around and seemed to be in a daze for a while.

"Call everyone to the court."

A few moments later, he moved with me in his embrace.

I could see the door when he moved. We slowly passed through the door and everything changed. I could see an infinite ocean.

My father hmphed and a portal appeared out of nowhere. When we moved inside, everything changed. It was a huge hall which seemed like the courtroom of a king.

A huge throne was placed on a raised platform, while various kinds of beings were standing facing inwardly, in two long parallel rows, on either side of the throne.

Seven golden pillars were present in the hall. One behind the throne and other six at its front, three on either side.

Father sat on the throne, placing me in his lap and waved his hand making everyone sit.

His expression changed and it almost felt like he became a different person.

"The Prince has awoken."

Murmuring sounds rang out throughout the hall.

"And he shall be tested by the throne and named by the throne."

Everyone quietened. Pin drop silence invaded the court.

An old man standing on the right side bowed and spoke.

"Forgive my intrusion, your majesty. But the prince is too young. He might incur harm."

"The throne's words are arrows from a bow. Can be shot but never return."Father replied.

'Even my father wants to kill me now? First, it was that cursed system and now my father.'

'Wait, where's the system? I even cursed but it said nothing. Hey, system? Hello? Are you there?'

'Fuck. Did it get angry over my curses and leave?'

'But, no. It called me host at the end and where's Ruanna? Did they run away together?'

'And I am a prince? Born with a golden spoon in both lives. Heh'

While I was thinking about "important" things.

Father lifted me up within his palms and mumbled some words.

'He isn't going to drop me, is he?' was all I could think at that moment. I got chills when I saw how high the platform was.

'Daddy, please don't. I'll be a good child. I promise.'

Seems like my fear of heights came to this world with me. Damn.

But, father had some other plans and he said.

"Eternal Ivons, shoot the Ivon Prince with all you have. Awaken his system. Make the Gods fear your strength."

I could hear murmurs from the crowd.

"Will the prince survive this?"

"Pitiful child."

"Can't the emperor see? It's just a 3 days old child."

"Hey? Isn't his 'thing' a little big for a child"

"Shut up idiot, you are going to get us all killed."

"Pray the Ivons. The prince must survive."

'Yeah, it's big fuckers. Send your wives and daughters to this daddy.'

'Wait.'

'Did father say system?'

'How do they know about the system?'

"Father I already have my system, you don't have to shoot me." I shouted with all my might.

As expected the words turned out to be

"Guga, Da gegida..." all rubbish with a mighty expression on my face.

"Look the prince is the challenging the Eternal Ivons."

One of the men in the two rows shouted.

His words flared the crowd.

"My Lord, he's not even 3 days old and he dares."

"Of course he dares. He's the Ivon Prince."

"Haha! That's the spirit. Challenging the Eternal Ivons on his day of awakening."

Father smiled with devilish expression and said.

"This is an Ivon Prince. Challenging even the Eternal Ivons."

"Each man in court shall have 50 thousand gold, for witnessing, the awakening of the Ivon Prince."

"We thank, your majesty for your generosity."

"Are you people stupid?" I said with all my might and anger.

"Gegu Guwa..." Sort of rubbish words was what everyone could hear and they cheered at me.

The angrier I got. The louder they cheered.

Suddenly, the seven pillars started to glow with an intense crimson color instead of golden. Each pillar fired a red laser towards me.

"Seven Eternal. Seven Eternals." The crowds' cheers became even louder. And, my father's face grew even brighter.

And I was like.

'Fuck it. I'm dead.'
