Chapter : 2 : Reincarnation? : 2

As she kissed him, Aiden's mind filled up with knowledge.

He saw himself hovering in the sky. Below him lay a medieval civilization, where magic pulsed through the air. People used it in their daily lives, weaving spells into their work, their conversations, their very existence.

Then the scene shifted, the peaceful vista replaced by a brutal panorama. He saw battlefields, landscapes of carnage. Mages, cloaked in swirling energies, knights clad in shining armor. They fought against demons, creatures of shadow and flame.

His eyes swept over the scene. Bodies of both men and demons lay rotting in the sun, a testament to the relentless struggle.

"This war has raged for centuries, ending with the victories of mankind," the cat girl spoke, her voice a low purr against his ear.

Aiden looked beside him, their hands intertwined, her touch grounding him in the present.

She had a grim expression on her face. "So many life had to be sacrificed for this stupid battle. Such a pity..." She said, her eyes never leaving the battle field.

"What is this world called? And what are they fighting for?" Aiden asked, his eyes never leaving her.

She looked toward him, smiling warmly, "This is the world of Nunovo." She replied.

"Nunovo!" Aiden repeated.

She nodded and looked toward the battle field, "And as for why they fought..." She started, as she added, "It's to show which species is superior."

'After the battle, the demons were turned into slaves. Female demons, who had lustrous bodies were used as sex slaves.

Males were used a labours.They live their live in pure agony. You couldn't find a house in the capital where the people had a demon slave, doing their bidding.'

*So, this world is called Nunovo. The people here uses magic as their daily necessity. And their are monsters, demons and beast human and who knows what more. I seriously don't wanna wake up from this dream. If it is a dream. Now I just want a glowing panel, just like those system novels.* Aiden thought excitedly.

Then the scene shifted, the battlefield replaced by a dungeon. The ancient intricate calligraphy on the wall. The big ass metal doors opening into the bosses room.

Then he saw it. His eyes started glowing in utter excitement. He saw...

"System!" He shouted, his voice filled with pure joy. The sudden cry startled her, as she looked toward him.

"This hunter was scrolling through his system. Using his inventory, to store stuff. This single scene made him jump in delight."

*He really is the same person I knew back then. Getting excited from the smallest of things.* She thought, her eyes sparkling, her cheek dusted red.

"Oh sorry about that..." Aiden apologized, rubbing the back of his head, "It's just the system. I always wanted something like this. Just tell me. Just tell me, I will be using it," He asked, his body betraying him, his eyes sparkling in pure joy, pointing his index finger toward the system.

She raised her lustrous hand up to her lips and started giggling. He sweet laugh cute as a cat.

Her laughter was melody to his ears. He just stared at her, felling a bit embarrassed.

"Yes, you will. Don't worry." She reassured him, wiping the tear which fell from her left eye in joy.

"Thank You!"

Then she stopped laughing, her face turned grim again. Aiden gulped, bracing himself for whatever she has to say.

The scene shifted again, like a flick of a switch, and Aiden found himself back on a battlefield.

He saw a man, but he couldn't see his face. The man had an aura around him, not like the magic Aiden had seen before. It felt like the power of a thousand wild beasts, all crammed into one being. Aiden knew, deep down, that if he stood within a kilometer of this guy, he'd be crushed like an ant under a boot.

The man was surrounded by creatures. Dragons, the size of mountains. Giant wolves, bigger than anything Aiden had ever seen, howled with a ferocity that shook the very ground. Leviathans, massive sea serpents, slithered across the battlefield, leaving trails of destruction in their wake.

There were others too, creatures Aiden couldn't even name, things that looked like they belonged in the darkest corners of his nightmares. These beasts were powerful enough to wipe out entire civilizations, and they were all fighting for this one man.

Then, from the sky, came an attack. Not from the creatures, but from something else. Humanoid figures, but not human. They moved with a grace and speed that defied gravity, their bodies bathed in a light that seemed to burn away the darkness.

"Are those...angels?" Aiden thought, his mind reeling. "Gods? Goddesses?"

He couldn't believe what he was seeing. This was a battle on a scale he'd never imagined, a clash of forces that could shatter the very fabric of reality. And it was all happening right before his eyes.

"This man was the strongest beast tamer there was. His powers were so fearsome that it even shook the Deities. They were scared of him and wanted him dead, thinking he would one day be a great threat to them." She explain, her eyes filled with sadness, tears threating to shed.

"Did he..." He asked, though he could already guess.

"Yes... He was... killed." She confirmed. "After he died, his beast had to flee. Many died in the hands of those deities and those who lived had to hide in fear of their life."

Aiden sighed, "So... What do want me to do? Kill them?"

She didn't reply. The silence stretched until she spoke, "You will be given The Ultimate Bond System, the same he used. It allows the user to turned their tamed best into humanoid woman."

"Humanoid? You mean those beast can turn human size?" He asked, surprise evident on his face.

She nodded. "You need to find all the beast once tamed by him, and use them for yourself. You need to get stronger and protect them as their master."

"So... What was this great calamity you talked about?" Aiden turned to see her.

She thought before replying, "Those beast controls the natural order of this world. If they die, this world will end."

"What?" He asked in utter disbelief. " Doesn't those Gods knows?

She sighed, "They does."

"Then?"

"They can just create a new world if they willed. So it doesn't matters to them. But I can't let that happen." She replied, her voice was filled with resolve.

Suddenly, everything went back to normal. He found him back in the same room, surrounded by the other beast girls. Her soft lips still pressed to his.

There lip parted. A shy smile played on her lip, as she touched her lips.

The kiss still lingered. Silence stretched the room.

Aiden stood their, baffled. Suddenly a little cat girl ran toward him.

"Sarena?" her mother whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.

She barely looked at her mother as she stepped forward, her arms wrapping around Aiden's waist. Her small hands clung to him desperately, her body shaking as silent tears spilled down her cheeks.

"Sarena…"

The bunny girl who had comforted Sarena earlier walked toward her master,

"I'm sorry… I couldn't stop your daughter."

Aiden barely heard her. His attention was locked onto the little cat girl hugging him so tightly, her sobs muffled against his belly. He blinked, confused. He didn't recognize her, not at first. But as he looked down at her fragile form, something deep inside him ached. A feeling he couldn't explain, something more than just familiarity—something raw, something painful.

Without thinking, he scooped her up into his arms.

She let out a tiny, surprised yelp, her ears twitching as she instinctively clung to him.

He held her close, their faces mere inches apart.

Tears trailed down her cheeks, her breath hitching. "Do you… remember me?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

The room had gone quiet. Everyone watched with glassy eyes.

Aiden swallowed hard, his throat tight. He shook his head, blinking through his tears.

"No," he admitted. His voice cracked, and a single tear slipped down his cheek.

Sarena's ears drooped slightly. "Then… then why are you carrying me?" she asked, her sobs quieting.

Aiden exhaled shakily, tightening his hold around her small frame. "I don't know," he whispered. "But I feel like… you're very dear to me."

Their eyes locked, her bright, tear-streaked gaze searching his for something—anything. And then, slowly, she cradled his neck, burying her face against his shoulder.

"Please…" His voice was thick with desperation as he turned to the others. "Please, tell me. Who is she to me?"

Sarena only held him tighter, as if terrified he would slip away again.

Aiden reached up, his fingers threading through her soft, silvery-white hair—hair so much like his own. His palm pressed gently against her head, his touch lingering.

Her mother stepped closer, her lips parted as if to speak. Her eyes, filled with longing.

She wanted to tell him. Tell him everything.

Tell him that—

Suddenly, a noise erupted form outside. Everyone eyes darted toward the door.

The bunny girl came and took Sarena from his arms. As she held her, she realized she was sleeping.

"Aiden, You will now wake up in a forest. Your memories of this conversation will be wiped. When you level up to a certain extent, you will remember, slowly." She told him hurriedly.

"But-"

Before he could question her further, she leaned in, and kissed him again. She made sure it would linger.

Aiden's eyes widened.

Suddenly she pushed him, and he fell into an abyss. He could only hear her say…

"Master... Please... Please change the future."

As he heard this words, he lost his consciousness. Darkness took hold of him. A calm expression masked his face as he descent further and further.

Aiden's eyes snapped open.

The world around him was shrouded in darkness. His eyes adjusted to it. He saw enormous trees. The bark forming eerie silhouettes against the absence of moonlight. The leaves rustled like hushed voices, whispering secrets he wasn't meant to hear.

"Where… am I?" he muttered.

He stood up, brushing off the dirt clinging to his clothes. His fingers ran over the fabric—foreign, unfamiliar. Something about all of this felt wrong.

Suddenly, something flickered before him.

A glowing panel materialized in the air, its radiant blue light cutting through the darkness. Its surface was sleek and futuristic, lined with intricate symbols pulsating softly as if alive. A cold, synthetic female voice resonated from it.

[WELCOME TO THE ULTIMATE BOND SYSTEM]

Aiden recoiled, blinking in shock. "The fuck is this?"
