On the day when I turned 5 years old, I thought there would be something that would make my day better, but do I really have to remember that again.
"..."
Ace slowly opened his eyes after sleeping soundly for the first time on a soft place. His gaze faced the ceiling with an empty look.
"..."
"...Hey system, what time is it now." said Ace who was still half-conscious.
=(Loading initialization)=
=From my analysis, it seems this place has no connection with time=
=But if I assume, it is currently dawn=
"I see."
Closes breath
"Seems like, I want to do some activity but somehow my body feels like..."
Being lazy.
This is weird, why do I feel kind of unproductive, is it because of last night's dinner! Yeah that might be possible but why!
My body feels like it wants to sleep again.
Before Ace could fall asleep again, his door was suddenly smashed open by someone until it flew off, but fortunately Ace's bed position was not aligned with the door.
Because of that, Ace immediately woke up in shock, not knowing what had happened.
Hoosss
"My, I thought someone special usually wakes up early too." A mocking tone, "but it seems you're just a loser who just woke up from a sweet dream."
Who is that what does she mean, I don't even understand what she's saying.
Because the door was hit too hard, it also caused a thick fog of dust. Ace couldn't see the figure because of the thick fog.
"Hey why are you acting so dumb, we just met last night." she said in confusion.
"?"
Last night! what does she mean?
The figure in the fog then removed the mist with her power, without any strange movement but with just a snap of her fingers.
Ticc
Ace then reflexively took a defensive position protecting his head with both hands until his body was thrown from the bed, because the fog didn't just disappear like being blown by the wind but it was also dust, which could be fatal if it got into the eyes, mouth, or especially into the ears.
Even so, the force of the blow could not be underestimated. But finally the figure became visible.
"Alright now you can see everything clearly. I forgot you are just an ordinary being who was made special by Sis Yona and the sleepy cover."
That was Rena Wignine, she seemed displeased with Ace.
"But I guess they worry about you more than they do about me." Rena said angrily.
Turns body toward the exit door "But don't get the wrong idea, I'm not jealous or anything, but I came here because you were called by Sis Yona."
Not knowing what was going on, Ace then held back the pain in his body, then quickly stood up again and made sure of what was happening.
Rena walked out calmly after Ace got up, but when she was about to leave the room!
Turns her head "Oh yeah, one more thing, don't think I came here just to tell you that and wake you up like an alarm."
Ace felt irritated by Rena's attitude, who acted as if she belonged here.
What's wrong with her, if this is puberty it can't be.
Rena emitted an intimidating aura toward Ace
Is this her power, really strong so that my body can feel the threat.
But I can't act like someone who feels like this is my place too. Ah this makes me frustrated, and I'm still sleepy too.
Holds breath, until jaw cramps
Please just go away already, this cramp is making me numb.
Feeling enough for what she had done, Rena then left just like that after what happened, carelessly and indifferently.
Ace glanced outside to make sure
Good she's gone then.
Goes back inside then drops himself, because of the pain in his body and cramp in his jaw
Ace then groaned in pain because of that, then tried various ways to relieve the pain.
A few minutes later.
Lying weakly "Finally the pain has stopped too, if she was still here I probably couldn't speak anymore."
=Goodness, that girl is truly troublesome=
=Was she never taught good manners toward others, she acts as she pleases toward you master=
Sighs "Never mind, after all I never understood people's feelings anyway."
"Yeah, especially women."
But since I was a child I rarely talked with girls or had feelings, because I was often avoided by other children as the unlucky child.
But 'unlucky child,' that!
Flashback. Faint children's voices
'Unlucky child!'
'Stop it!'
'Unlucky child!'
'Stop!!'
'CHILD! OF! MISFORTUNEE!!!'
"ACE!!" someone called.
That instantly woke Ace from his hallucination caused by trauma.
Ace was now in the place requested by Yona, in a wide garden full of arranged flowers. With a noble garden umbrella.
Still wearing his pajamas and long hair tied back, leaving short parts in front. With a face that had been cleaned.
But his face still looked gloomy.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I still feel a little dizzy." said Ace while holding his head.
Hearing that, Yona then felt worried for Ace, then healed him with a Heal spell.
"I'm sorry Ace, because of me... you had to become like this!" said Yona after finishing Heal.
"It's fine!" replied Ace.
Holding his head then started to feel a little better, even if only for a moment.
"This is quite good, even if just for a while."
"Sorry, if I've been a bit impolite." said Ace while fixing his posture.
"Alright, alright, now let's focus on the main thing first!" said Yona softly.
"Alright" replied Ace.
Takes a deep breath "Ace actually you are not dead yet!"
Silence
"What!" startled.
"?"
What does she mean I'm not dead, is she just joking to cheer me up. Ah no way joking like that.
That's impossible if I'm not dead, then why can I be here.
Lifts teacup "If you think this is a little illogical I can understand." Sips
"But you also can't deny it because–"
"Sorry, may I ask something?" asked Ace.
"!"
"If I'm not really dead, then why can I be in this place. I mean, why could I pass through all those dark places that could threaten my life—"
"Those were all tests!" interrupted Yona.
That immediately shocked Ace after hearing the words that came out of Yona.
"Tests.. tests for what!" asked Ace tensely.
"Tests to determine whether you are worthy or not!" said Yona seriously. "I know this will sound stupid, but everything you went through was not really real."
Hearing that Ace immediately felt disbelief with what Yona said.
He then held his head with both hands, because he couldn't comprehend what had happened during his journey until now.
Yona who saw Ace started to worry, but Yona couldn't do much. This also confused her with what to do.
But it didn't last long. Something slowly appeared on Ace's face on the left side of his eye.
That thing spread until it bloomed like a flower, with a blue crystal shaped like a butterfly wing. Even slightly different from other butterfly wings.
After all that Ace then started acting strange, like a different person.
Ace then sat leaning down slightly from the chair then his left arm was placed behind the chair. Like a woman.
"Yoo, how are you Yoyo!" Ace's tone suddenly changed, with a facial expression like a perverted woman.
Yona who saw him was rather astonished, with a red face because Ace called her Yoyo.
"Oh my, you're still the same huh, when I call you Yoyo your face turns red again" he said while taking the served tea.
Yona then stood up from her seat, stammering in shock while pointing at Ace. It seemed she knew something.
"Don't be so surprised like that, like someone who just met me." Sips tea
"Ahhhh, life is beautiful isn't it–"
"CAN YOU NOT SHOW UP LIKE THIS EVERY TIME YOU COME!" scolded Yona while hitting both sides of Ace's head that was possessed.
=Goodness they're arguing, someone please get me out of all this=
A moment later after the silly incident between Yona and the being that possessed Ace.
=So in short you are using master's body right now!=
Holding head after being hit "Yeah that's right, but this is only for a short while." said the being.
"But this also doesn't hurt him" takes the tea and sips it
=Does that include when you got hit=
Brruuuss "uhuuhu, what!"
The splash immediately hit Yona, but it seemed to make Yona a little annoyed.
Seeing that, the being began to hold back laughter seeing Yona.
"Sorry I didn't mean to, this thing startled me." he joked while pointing at the wristwatch.
=Hey I just asked, don't blame me for that–=
Because the system watch annoyed the being that possessed Ace's body, in the end he took off the watch and placed it upside down on the table.
=Hey who turned off the light!=
"Hah, whatever. So where is Noah–"
=He is fixing his room master Ace=
"!!!"
Because of that they ended up chatting nonsense for half an hour and finally!
"Ah, this place makes me nostalgic!" he said while stretching his body.
Yes, they finally went home until evening but the being still didn't want to leave Ace's body.
"Goodness, he said it wouldn't take long. I wanted to have an important talk with Ace but it was interrupted by him." grumbled Yona who was holding the system watch.
=If I may ask, who is he!= asked the system.
"Ehhh, about that!"
"You could say he's the one who gave me this place." said Yona.
=Then!= continued the system.
"Yeah that's all, nothing more, but it seems unlikely he came just to do something silly."
"Will he say it now!" she thought.
Now they went to the garden gazebo and sat there for a while.
Because Yona had been patient waiting, she finally asked the reason the being came there.
"Sorry if I have to speak like this, but what is your purpose in coming here!" asked Yona.
"Ehh, why are you talking like that aren't you happy after a long time we haven't met." dodged the being jokingly.
Suddenly the atmosphere became a bit tense, then the being snapped his fingers which immediately activated a barrier around the gazebo.
Yona who saw it was immediately shocked by what happened, and wondered why there had to be a barrier.
"Don't panic like that, because that barrier is soundproof!" said the being casually.
=Why are you doing all this!=
"Well we can't have anyone interrupting now so."
The being snapped his fingers again which immediately moved the system watch to Noah's place. That also surprised Noah who was cooking because the system watch was in his hand.
=Goodness what a rude being, but by the way it smells kind of nice=
Meanwhile Rena who was sleeping in her room immediately noticed the being's presence, then hurried to the place where the presence came from.
Back to the garden gazebo where only the being and Yona were now.
"Good now it's only the two of us now." said the being.
"Miss are you–" the being then cut off Yona's words and got straight to the point.
"Yes that's right, we are ready now just!"
"We wait for this kid to make a decision."
In an unknown dimension, now Ace was floating in a digital-like dimension with properties such as various treasures and weapons, etc.
A place where he was watching something that made him question and feel amazed at the same time.
"Where am I now!"
Is something being revealed, but something like?
