Synopsis

[A/N: While I upload chapters, I encountered some glitches, so some parts may have swapped that I didn't notice. However, if there are some like flashbacks, or prior to that time but only showed later, it is not about the glitch. So, if you ever reach the latest part, you can criticize me all you want... I know I did a bad job that's why I am going to put the whole story in editing with the errors I mentioned.]



Aaron was just a normal human being who liked to read books. But apparently, he died by being buried in a mountain of books he had read.



He became a system, rune, and power of Ellena, a "cursed child" who was mistreated by the people around her because of the belief that black hairs are cursed. At the age of 15, she was cast out of the family, and just as fate told her it wouldn't be easy, she was captured and turned into a slave.



At that time, Aaron was still not activated. In this world, people have abilities that can be obtianed by activating runes on the back of their right hands. However, Aaron wasn't activated even after Ellena's 15 years of living.



It was just that some condition was needed for the special power within the rune to be activated. When Aaron was activated, it was already when Ellena suffered the most.



Together, they survived the suffering, and Ellena acquired her own ability, with the help of her system, the special power behind her rune.



Ellena attained her own personality, but it was something different despite being mistreated for years. She became soft and justful. Perhaps of the longing for protection she was searching for, she was ready to give it to others.



It was also connected to her destiny that Aaron diligently assessed for years, until it finally happened.



"There were mysteries in this world. The fight between dimensional chaos and those who plunder different dimensions is now affecting mortals. I ask you, Aaron, to become one of us if you want to help Ellena."



'Ellena was supposed to save the world. And I was something special that 'they' were longing to find.'



With the passage of time, Aaron started to learn his true self, the real form of his soul that he didn't expect to discover.

|| This review will only be limited to volume 1 as I will wait for volume 2 to continue reading. || Writing Quality [ 4 stars ]: It's good, but there are still a decent amount of grammar errors. || Stability of Updates [ 4 stars ]: The release rate is from 2 chapters/day to 1 chapter/2 days. It's quite unstable to be honest. || Story Development [ 5 stars ]: The story is interesting as of volume 1, the author did a great job at building the foundation for the main plot. Ellena's development is still too fast in my opinion as personality isn't something easy to fix, considering her past. Overall, the character development is not the best, but I've seen way worse. || Character Design [ 5 stars ]: It is good, but you can add a little extra detail ( like the point that is unique to that character ) to improve both the word count and sense of immersion in the story. || World Background [ 5 stars ]: Since I've just read volume 1, the world building only centered around 2 towns but it will improve later as this is still the early stages of the story. The world was built brilliantly by the author and the power of 'Ellena' actually went well along with the story || Extra opinion: You should absolutely try this story out. I'm sure it will not disappoint you. As for me, I have weak resistance against cliffhangers so I will read after every volume is completed. Total score: 4.6

Hi... I'm kind of frustrated at the moment from reading all the comments. Even though they are not rude, it still hit me since I didn't meet the readers' expectations. And as for that, please forgive me. I will still produce the best quality I could offer. This review isn't about me showing or wanting some pity. I want to the readers know that even I can't be the best writer, I'll be the most understanding writer. I'm taking all of the suggestions and reading plenty of light novels if I have time to widen my horizon, thus, I just want people to understand my concerns. This novel isn't usually a type of fantasy novel that is common or a trope that is repetitively used in the platform. I took a risk to implement such a trope so hope you appreciate it even it's not in the best of you could expect. These all I felt is something I understand. Normally, you won't receive praises every time and criticism will try to hit your shortcomings. It's helpful, I know it, however, I still can't help but feel anxious every time I see a number in my inbox (you know what I'm saying). So, instead of blabbering about my sentiments, I want to let people know that I am still an amateur. I didn't have any training or so, that's why I am still in the process of improving my work. I do mistakes. It's pretty common to me since I'm not a native English speaker (even those who are native speakers still make mistakes as 'no one is perfect'). What are my mistakes in this novel? Misused adjectives and adverbs. It's not common and at least you could stumble upon those funny mistakes like 2 out of 10 chapters and 3 in a thousand. But here's a reminder, pronouns are my weakness and sometimes I can't notice such mistakes. My language doesn't have pronouns for genders so hope you understand. Warning, incorrect spelling (but rare than legendary swords). I must let you know that my language doesn't have hard spellings as our words are spelled by how we speak them. Anyway, thank you for visiting and reading this review of mine. Last warning... Awkward structure but not all are grammatically incorrect.

[Use this review to survive the first volume. You'll miss the fun if you cry over the decisions. Take your time reading this; there will be some spoilers, but not enough to be a mega spoiler. Volume one was about creating a character for Ellena, basically.] I don't know if my review reflects my current ability or the quality I can produce, but I felt like it had been good since I often check my drafts. Every time I will upload a new chapter, I edit it two times (basically the time I can use to edit these), and if while I read it again, I don't see any spelling errors, or what I can just see. Sometimes, I unintentionally overlook things, so I will apologize again for that. How to survive the first volume? Read all the contents since I don't really do much filler. Filler, in pretext for explaining things over and over again. Maybe I did it, but it was for the purpose of marking it in the minds of the readers.  Please tolerate some of the errors. There are errors that make reading awkward. But some phrases will just surface, if for that subject, but not all of the paragraph will be. Note that I am still working, honing my skills, and that will basically take a short time. If I continue on working, perhaps I can reach a majestic way of writing. Some said that my grammar was bad. But to be honest, it wasn't actually that bad for me. I admit that there were some misused and really grammatically incorrect, but for some of those, it wasn't bad. I just wrote some uncommon structuring. I think that it would sound comfortable for others, but not everyone will like it. I read some compliments about it and some comments that it was bad, but I don't care anymore. I can't correct my past mistakes anyway, so I could just improve them while doing the same action in the future. If I focus on thinking about it, how will I grow? There were some problems with the transitioning... I admit that it would bring some confusion, but I am an avid fan of light novels, and mostly what I read doesn't have any indication that the perspective has changed. They just used marks and, for example, "***", to indicate that there was a transition of perspective, time, and location. The next way to survive the first volume is to admit that mistakes are foundations for improvement. There was a part in the novel where Ellena joined the main family of Lumbert, which was the parent family of Ellena's previous family. Why did they make that decision? Of course, Aaron was having second thoughts, and also suspicion about it. And since then, they heard from the headmaster of the orphanage that the head of the Lumbert Comital Family was corrupt. The next few days, they were approached by a member of the family to ask for her help to overthrow and kill the head, since he was ruling the country in the shadows, they were less tense about deciding. What just went into Ellena's mind was the privilege and for the sake of her justly personality. It wasn't bad for joining them. They can have funds and also a possible better future. But of course, every decision will have to take a risk. There was no pure safety for Ellena at that time. Even if she had Fear System because of Aaron, she wouldn't be safe. Does that mean she had to continue doing vigilante work? What if some people would go after her, and basically she's still weak who had only lightning manipulation as her card, they had to fight plenty of high-ranking rune owners? Of course, she'll have no chance of winning. Basically, their problem with education is that Aaron can't reach her completely, and the privileges that they couldn't get just because they had money that they stole, will be limited since Ellena's personality was blocking it. That's why they donated it because of some conscience Ellena had, which is unreasonable but will be explained why all that happened. Sighs... It's too hard to explain. To survive the first volume, always remember that there will be a reason why things happen. Even though it won't be explained in the same chapter, it will be tackled in the later chapters. Some illogical phenomena will also be explained in the future. So I beg you, to see the hidden value of this book, be patient. It's the same with the anime we watch. There would be no perfect decision since Aaron was making some way for Ellena to learn it on her own. He basically doesn't like injecting or pushing his views on Ellena; he's just there to guide her. Even if he wanted all of them to die, he couldn't say it since his purpose of helping Ellena was because of her destiny. He couldn't change that and make Ellena an apathetic person. Her personality was still connected to the previous timeline in some aspects.

Bad Grammar, not to the point of shty Chinese translators (which I would rather read), but nevertheless, bad in a way that doesn't make you choke, but endlessly annoy. The plot seems cool, great even - nice, but the fact that Aaron (The system itself is so... idk) The trope is good, but I think it has bad execution, especially the overly annoying dialogues involved. It makes it feel like, things that are tragic become comedic. The timelines at the start are a bit messed up too. Well, not really, but going back to the forth from past to present just strikes a nerve. I usually stick to, and bear to read even the trashiest of trash plots, but as of the moment, I can't bear this novel. (I can also smell our fellow ph genes)

|| This review will only be limited to volume 2 as I will wait for volume 3 to continue reading. || Writing Quality [ 3 stars ]: Somehow, the amount of errors got worse in volume 2. It did improve around the middle of the volume but just enough to be on par with volume 1's quality. I hope the author could improve his writing because it is the only reason preventing me from calling it one of the best original story I have ever read. || Stability of Updates [ 4 stars ]: At the start of the volume, the release rate is a very consistent 2 chap/day. But in the later stages of the volume, it became highly unstable [ 1 chap/2 day -- 4 chap/day ]. It's fine with me since I pretty much binge read the entire volume anyways :) || Story Development [ 4 stars ]: I thought that the story by volume 1 is interesting but the author never ceases to amaze me as volume 2 brings the story to a whole new level. The few flaws in my opinion are: Ellena is finally getting her much needed time to stabilize her emotions, but she still acts nearly the same as she did before though. The few middle chapters when the time skips happened are especially boring to read. I felt this part could've been better. || Character Design [ 4 stars ]: The low rating is due to the poor description of the members of the 3rd generation group ( the author did state a reason for this ). In my opinion, introduced characters should always be related to the main story and therefore needed to be described better in order to increase the sense of immersion in the story. Because this lack of description, the scenes they are in became hard to imagine, making the chapter feel bland. The design for the other characters in the story is great though, I can't wait to see more. || World Background [ 4 stars ]: We're finally introduced to more of the world, though I feel the description for some of the places are a little bit lacking. || Extra opinion: I might've judged wrongly at some point as I'm very tired at the moment of writing this review due to online school. Anyways, the 'main' plot about demons have finally start to unfold. You should definitely try this story out. Again, I shall wait for volume 3 to complete before reading to avoid cliffhangers :v. || Total score: 3.8 stars

I don’t know why there’s so many complaints about errors. Web Novels are meant to be more or less rough drafts to begin with so there will be mistakes. That being said, I dropped this in Chapter 6 since I found the System-MC to be insufferably stupid and unnecessarily edgy. The most annoying part is the novel constantly calls the MC a mega-genius only for him to show no capability of complex thought moments later. Just saying a character is smart doesn’t make them smart…

the world was slowly introduced so there's no problem with it. the concept was unique, however, it was cliche at first but when I read it it was something uncommon and well planned. the author really keep up and I liked it how he decided to make the chapter longer

Characters were well developed and introduced so 5 star. I like how things seems unique but I know that it has at least an inspiration. I read the first few chapters and noticed that world background is slowly introduced and explained since it has an uncommon power standard world which most common fantasies makes so identical when it comes to world background. At least mostly, not all. I think I would recommend this to others since it has a new concept of becoming a system. It is more like he was reincarnated into a system and his life depends on his host which he nurtured and surprisingly, the host is not stupid and lovable. She actually learn things. That's all! Kudos my friend!

One of those few hidden gems in Webnovel, in my opinion it is not getting the attention it deserves. There are some typos, but nothing that can't be ignored. (If you consider that it is on Webnovel, then it's hard to complain) I like how the characters develop over time.

This is one of the best novel I have read so fair with 80+ free chapters ( including fast pass ) and if you are wondering to read this novel or not then I recommend reading it. But to understand what is going on you have to continue read it tilled chapter 10 or so ( if I remember correctly ) so I am not Gonna spoil anything so you have read it 🤭🤭

I can tell that you made an effort making an uncommon world background! It was fun and little unique. Hope you continues to produce this with the same quality. Good job!

I've binge read it and all in all it's fun to read. The overall it just fits my personal tastes when it comes to stories. Early chapters tends to be confusing cause it's still early but over time the writing improved. It's very fun to read. I've read the other works and I can see a lot of improvements. Keep up the good work.
