Chapter 2: New World

[Quote: "Nothing can be gained without losing, even heaven demands death. "]

The sun's rays were brimming with light; the air was fresh in the forest, the sound of water flowing, and the singing of birds was echoing in the forest.

There lay a boy of nearly 17 years of age; he looked handsome with a perfect face that had been crafted by the god of craftsmanship.

He was not muscular or skinny; it was a perfect-looking body for a normal human.

As his consciousness returned with the help of his sub-consciousness, his eyes opened suddenly.

For some time, he was lying on the ground with his eyes open. Seeing the bright sky, the illuminating sun, feeling the fresh air on his face, he was contemplating his existence.

'For aeons and epochs, I have wandered in the void, becoming mad because of the darkness and silence.'

'I have never felt hunger or thirst, becoming mad for aeons; I even got bored of that and became sane, very sane.'

'After coming in contact with a universe, My soul made a body for me, and now I'm in that universe's world.'

As he contemplated his existence, he saw a golden light in the air; seeing the light, he got out of his thoughts and sat up on the ground.

After some seconds, the golden light faded, and in the light's place was a beautiful emerald pendant hovering in the air.

As he saw the pendant, his eyes became moist, and some old memories were resurfacing in his mind.

It was the pendant given by his mother on her deathbed, saying, "It will protect you and give you a direction in your life."

He didn't know the full story or he would've been more amazed at the magical pendant.

With his death in his world, the pendant was also destroyed. And disappeared in front of all the men.

Now it was hovering without a scratch on it, indeed it was magical.

Touching the tear on his cheeks, the old monster was feeling a bit of sadness for his mother.

After staring at the pendant for nearly 1 minute, he tried to touch it.

He extended his hands, and his fingers touched the pendant; suddenly, it cracked upon touching it and became a light.

The light got absorbed in his body within a second, he felt a warmth for the first time in many epochs,

'It looks like my mother was not simple.' Thought the old monster.

After the warmth faded, a glow appeared in front of him and a window appeared.

It was looking like a lost ancient tech, of course for him. His memories were intact, but it's been so much time since he had gotten to see this window.

He has seen it on his laptops, iPads and mobile phones.

In his teens, he had a habit of reading novels, Manhwa, anime and Mangas.

As he saw the window, his memory refreshed, and he remembered all the system novels that he had seen before his death.

The window consisted of only some tabs.

[Status] [Innate trait] [Function]

He stared at the three tabs for some seconds before pressing it, he tapped at the status tab.

[Status]

[Name: Asmodeous]

[Age: Uncountable]

[Realm: None]

[Power level: 3rd rate]

As he studied the status tab, he remembered his name from seeing it once.

His mother was out of the world, she named him Asmodeous. A name that didn't match the culture of his world.

If his father asked her why this peculiar name, she would answer with a sweet voice "It's the perfect name for our son."

Indeed, it was a different name from his world's culture. Nonetheless, all of his relatives and his father accepted it.

Touching the tear on his face he became sad.

Today was a difficult day for him; he had forgotten those memories, and now they were resurfacing in his mind.

Nonetheless, after some time, he tapped at the second tab.

[Innate trait]

[1. Perfect body]

--- The perfect body that has absorbed and adapted to void for millennials, it can Integrate and master any type of energy or martial arts.

[2. Absolute talent]

---- The pinnacle of talent, it can grant the user a nearly immeasurable talent. The user can understand every move he sees. And can replicate it, the user's understanding of the martial arts manual is immeasurable.

[3.Devour] (currently locked)

---- The power to devour anything that has energy in it; any type of energy can be devoured and converted to the user's choice.

Studying the second tap, he didn't feel any surprise or any emotional turmoil. He knows that his body is perfect, he got this information instinctively.

As for Absolute talent, well, he was always talented; he had this talent from birth.

But it looks like that born talent has been upgraded because of his age and wisdom of time and space.

After studying it properly he opened the third and last tab.

[Function]

[Death] (condition completed)

[Construction of a new body] (condition completed)

[Unknown] (condition doesn't meet)

[Reach the power level to bend space to your will] (condition doesn't meet)

[The Function will unlock after completing all conditions.]

Seeing the tab, he smiled for the first in epochs. He got interested in the thing saying Unknown.

It's been so much time since he has been facing some unknown things.

After studying all the tab things, he stood and began to stretch his body. He knew nothing about the world he was in.

Even if he knew something, he can't confirm now, that it is the same world.

Nonetheless, he began to walk in a specific direction in the hope of reaching some civilization.

The forest was beautiful during the day, with the animals jumping and running in the forest, the birds chirping, and the river flowing with the wind.

All things were peacefull. He liked it, this type of environment was of his liking. But the darkness was missing.

If the darkness was here, he would have made it his home. Nonetheless, he was walking at a moderate pace towards a specific direction.

But where the direction will make him go is Unknown for now.
