Chapter 6 - A ruined world

the draconian cried for a while. Calling it crying is downplaying her sadness after all death just looms above her head, seemingly nothing she can do. She didn't just cried she wailed, she prayed, she blamed, and questioned anything and everything.

just what did they do? To deserve sudden extinction?

Nothing.

If there are, then it will be helplessness. After all weakness is a sin... But this time the beings in this world werent weak nor powerless they can fight and they're powerful.

But despite that death still looms above them seemingly nothing they can do... They're facing the system a phenomenon that govern several Natural Authority. The collector of dead god's powers, such phenomenon should not exist and yet it did.

how truly unfair...

After a while of wailing, the draconian finally stopped crying she's still disturb by the sudden revelation and news, but she can talk.

" Say... What are you really? you haven't answered my question. "

The human answered awkwardly, " oh...sorry um... I'm a human, and my name is Lucian... Lucian Kale..."

The draconian look at Lucian intensely up and down, " Hmmm... I'm Hanak, i have no last name for I'm not a royalty.. Humans, what a strange creature... You have no fur nor claws or talons... But you have three legs, what are you some kind telekhal? "

Lucian hearing it immedietly covered his third leg and blushed turning his fair white skin into a pinkish skin. " I-haha... umm, Ms. Hanak what is a telekhal? "

Hanak tilted her head in confusion, " what do you mean? you don't know those tentacle creatures? they're the same as you creepy..."

And there the system again changing the translation, ' what the hell is the system doing? now not only was it changing translation it purposely not translating the name now... what? '

What the draconian said should have been instead of telekhal, ' In the language of humans it should have been Squids or octopuses... and the creepy part should have been "Because they're also unusually obsessed on breeding" that should be it...'

so why... it's as if the system want to stir something between them, and I can't really talk to them because he's inside the scenario... messaging the system is impossible too, it was mostly impossible to contact the system.

' what a mess. '

Anyways it's pretty impresive how Lucian seem to ignore those provocation that the system makes.

So lucian the human hearing it laughed awkwardly and spoke in a soft manner, " Um... Ms. Hanek... How about it? can I follow you? "

Hanek's lips curved down and gritted herself, " ah yes... you are our harbringer of death after all..."

Lucian hearing it was confused, tilting his head in confusion and speaking softly. " umm... What? "

Hanek widen's her eyes, " you don't know? "

Lucian frowned, " There are many things i don't know as of late.."

Hanek took a second to judge him, seeing if his kidding or not and seeing him actually be clueless. Her claws twitch and her jaws almost falls down in surprise, ' Cute!! '

coughing Hanek immedietly threw distraction of a thought, " then do you know the system? "

Lucian became quiet for a while thingking it seems like he was baffled that many know the system... Like it wasn't even hiding anything at all or like many has seen it and experience it.

' Because it is ' by the time it got to earth many secrets of the system has been discovered... But it came with a sacrifice, through out the Thousand of years - depending on the planet, for earth it a million years already. But for the universe it's just a thousand years. - Many things have already happened uncovering each and cruelty of the system.

And since the system fame is infamous the information about it travels fast, many has already exploited the system for their gain and many vowed to use it as it's weakness to destroy it.

Back into lucian though after thinking about the not so mysterious System he finally spoke, " about that... I'm afraid not, after all it appeared suddenly on us out of nowhere and told to us to fight or whatever and bam! were here on this unfamiliar planet... so... I would appreciate it if you have some information that can help Ms. Hanek. "

Hanek hearing how the humans seem to not know the existence of it was baffling, ' how did it not reach the planet of humans? ' she thought about it hard, but she wans't able to answer her own question..

So instead she answered Lucian's question, " ... I can, yes. "

Then the human seemed happy, his eye's shone and his enchanting lips curved outward at the news of it.

But Hanek wasn't done speaking, " But you need to come with me to my village. "

The human seemed surprised, because his eyes widen and his thin iris became even thinner.

It seems that the human still has common sense he knew not to trust someone easily and that following her will the same as following someone's to the jackals den... or in human terms following to the tigers den.

But still it seems like the human doesn't want to give up his sole information so he trusted her and respected her, " Yes, Ms. Hanek i would very much appreciate to. "

He knows that accepting it could be his death, but he didn't try to fight it and gave in to fate itself.

' whatever it is anymore, she was my only hope. '

...

unbeknownst to the three of them, - Lucian, Hanek and Scribe. - That the system recorded something already something that the system does to make a mythology...

[ When the dead rose, and the filled picture got stained. what will you be?

An existence that shouldn't exist... A being that isn't recorded on the book livings, what are you? { System: What are you?..} ]

Lucian's mythology has started already, it may not flourish immedietely but the seed of it is already upon him...

And at the same time the gears of destruction has moved, each tick symbolizing the approaching destruction.

The last god is slowly being awoken, and the system is slowly losing control of fate...

Things has started for the last thousand years unbeknownst to everyone, the system has been preparing for it.

For when the restarted starts to branch from the original...
