WIntermere, Athanor
Years 566
Alan opened his eyes, seeing a house different from what he had imagined. The roof was made of wood, the fireplace for cooking still used firewood, and all the furniture in this house looked old-fashioned.
"Good morning, Arryn," said one of the women. She was beautiful and looked pretty young.
She came over to Arryn –Alan's name in this world– and began to hold him gently. The woman's smile spread wide, looking charming in Arryn's eyes.
Arryn just found out the identity of the woman. She was Selena, Arryn's mother. This fairly large house was not as crowded as a typical family. Arryn didn't find out where his father was.
Selena raised Arryn with love, hoping her child would grow healthy and strong. She had no trouble caring for Arryn alone, and Arryn realized that he shouldn't cause Selena any trouble.
Alan's thoughts were still embedded in Arryn's head, so Arryn had no trouble doing his daily life. Selena was amazed. She didn't expect Arryn to be such a quick learner.
Since he was one year old, Arryn has been able to eat by himself using a spoon; Since he was two years old, Arryn could say words fluently to communicate, and since he was four years old, Arryn could recognize letters and read magic spells.
Selena was impressed by Arryn's amazing development. She noticed Arryn's potential in magic, so she decided to teach him the basics of magic.
In the fifth year after Arryn was born, the child could summon water elemental magic in the form of a water ball. Selena, who trained Arryn, was happy to see her son's progress.
She thought that if Arryn could successfully cast the water ball magic spell, Arryn could also try other basic magic.
"But remember one thing, Arryn. You must use magic wisely," Selena replied. Arryn nodded. He knew the meaning of Selena's words which asked him to use magic as needed.
The day continued to pass. Arryn can use three types of elemental magic; water, fire, and earth. He continued to practice either in the front yard of his house or on a hill behind his house.
That afternoon, Arryn practised alone on the hill with a basic elemental magic book. He used a wooden statue as a training object, especially attack-type magic.
[Summoning System: Fire Ball]
Arryn's right hand's fingertips created a medium-sized ball following the chanted spell. The fireball shot at a medium speed until it hit the wooden statue.
Right after Arryn cast the spell, he accidentally heard a sound coming from the small forest below the hill. It sounded like an animal asking for help with a soft squeak.
Arryn was curious as to what the animal was. He immediately put down the book as he started to walk down the hill, looking at the small forest that seemed to have been burned on several sides.
The boy continued to follow the sound. Arryn guessed that the sound came from a pile of large tree branches.
He was right! Arryn found three small birds about the size of his palm, and only one survived. Arryn had to crawl under the branches to reach them.
"What's going on here?" asked Arryn, as if talking to the bird.
Since the situation in that place was quite dangerous, Arryn quickly took the three birds away from the forest and backed up the hill.
Arryn buried the two dead birds right behind the tree on the hill. Now, only one bird remained and seemed to continue to perch on the boy's shoulder.
"Should I give you a name?" asked Arryn.
Surprisingly, the bird nodded and agreed with Arryn. Arryn felt strange about this bird-like it fully understood what humans were saying.
"Ivy. I was thinking about that name," Arryn replied.
"What a nice name," said Ivy, the bird.
Arryn widened his eyes as he jumped back. He pointed at Ivy, who was flying in front of him with a scared expression because he didn't expect Ivy could talk.
"Why can you talk?" asked Arryn.
"Because I'm not an ordinary bird. I'm a legendary bird," Ivy replied. Arryn squinted his eyes, confused.
"Legendary bird? I think Mom told me about that once," said Arryn.
"I owe you a favour. What's your name?" asked Ivy as Arryn introduced himself.
"Arryn. From now until the end of time, I swear to help you and be your loyal friend," said Ivy. Arryn nodded his head and smiled, not really understanding.
Ivy flew up and hit Arryn on the forehead, causing him to bleed. Arryn was surprised as he shielded his forehead. He also questioned Ivy's reason for hitting him.
"To create a contract between you and me. Contracts with the legendary animals must use blood from both sides," Ivy explained.
"Contract? What contract are you referring to?" asked Arryn.
"A pet contract. In this world, there are animals that you can turn into pets; you can use them as your vehicles, companions, or battle partners," Ivy explained.
"I can offer my strength and accompany you," said Ivy.
The clueless Arryn nodded obediently. He accepted Ivy as his pet through the contract. Ivy perched on Arryn's shoulder again and began to show her Invisible ability.
"Where are you?" asked Arryn.
"I'm near you. I'm using my disappearing ability," Ivy replied.
Arryn was impressed with Ivy's ability. He immediately took the book and ran down the hill to show the pet to his mother, Selena. Arryn predicted that Selena would be surprised about Ivy.
"Mom ... Mom," Arryn called out.
Selena, who was sun-drying clothes, immediately focused her eyes on her beloved child. She stopped the activity and began crouching to look at Arryn with special affection.
"What is it, My dear Arryn?" asked Selena, gently rubbing Arryn's head.
"Mom, look what I just found," Arryn replied, showing his right shoulder, where Ivy was perched.
"I don't see anything," Selena replied.
"Huh?" Arryn turned his face and looked towards the right shoulder. Arryn asked Ivy to reveal himself, but to his surprise, the bird revealed itself perched on Arryn's head.
"I'm here, Arryn," said Ivy.
Selena's attention was suddenly drawn to the presence of a blue bird with white patterns perched on her son's head. Selena was surprised while trying to grab Ivy; the woman knew very well what kind of bird Ivy was.
Ivy was flying in the sky, not too far from Arryn. Selena smiled with widened eyes. She asked Arryn how he got the legendary animal.
"I saved her from the burning forest. What kind of bird is it, Mom?" asked Arryn, curious.
"It is Essua, one of the legendary birds with magical abilities. It is said that its arrival is always linked to changes," Selena replied.
"She's right, Arryn. I'm a type of Essua bird. There are many legendary birds, but I don't know where they are," Ivy replied, starting to fly low towards Arryn.
Selena walked up to Ivy while asking permission to touch her. Ivy gave permission while telling Selena she had made a lifetime contract with Arryn.
"Contract? Isn't it too early to do it with Arryn, who isn't 17 yet?" Selena asked.
"A contract with a legendary animal doesn't need to wait for 17 years; it only needs the blood of two parties to be approved," Ivy replied.
Selena quickly looked at Arryn as her hands began to hold her son's shoulders, "We'll talk about this inside. You need to know about pets, contracts, and other things."
***Twelve years laterWintermere, Athanor.Years 548Arryn looks closely at the events of his parents' deaths while on Earth, looking so creepy and playing repeatedly.He is in the middle of a room that continues to display the suffering he experienced on Earth, one of which clearly displays Alfred's face in front of him. Suddenly it made Arryn furious, and he wanted to take revenge for his suffering on Alfred.When all the shows showed the story of Arryn's suffering. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of Arryn and blurred all the shows. Arryn clearly saw three people standing in line with glowing eyes. Their body size was enormous."Arryn Vaughan. We are always watching you!" said one of the men, dressed in robes with a crown of flowers on his head.The sound was so loud that Arryn fell to his knees and covered his ears. The voice had woken Arryn from his sleep in the living room.Arryn’s eyes opened wide, with his head lifted quickly. He just realized that everything that ha
Pantheon soldiers take the shackled Arryn to a place where criminals are being interrogated. Arryn's eyes were covered with a thick black cloth, making it impossible for him to know where he had been taken."Tell me. Where are you going to take me?” Arryn asked.“Somewhere you will never know. So don't talk too much, Demon!” groaned the soldier who brought Arryn.“How many times have I told you that I'm not a demon? I'm just like you, a human."Pantheon's soldiers no longer answered Arryn's questions, although Arryn asked so many questions that it bore the soldiers. They walked for a long time until Arryn was seated in a wooden chair with his blindfold open.Arryn slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was already in an empty room, nothing but the chair he was sitting on.Arryn could see the soldiers carrying him. Two of them had black patterned white armor and hexagonal head helmets with holes visible, only showing their eyes."What is this place?" Arryn asked."I said don't talk too
"You want to kill them all? Use this third magic spell," said a mysterious voice in Arryn's ear.Arryn learned of the third spell of his magic. He guessed the magic spell he just got was an attack-type of magic, just like the Parallel Circle."HAHA! How can you kill us if your hands and feet are shackled?" asked the village chief, grinning as if he was underestimating Arryn's abilities.The corner of Arryn's eyes turned to the bald-headed village chief. He immediately stretched his shackled hands toward the older man while casting his first magic spell.[Summoning System: Parallel Circle]Suddenly a white circle appeared under the village chief's feet, causing him to fall screaming into the white portal. Everyone looked wide in shock except for Selena. They had no idea that Arryn's strength was like that, different from most people's."Where did you take him?!" shouted one of the youths, the village chief's son."I've caught and locked him in a place. If you want him to return, let go
***Two people fell on the floor with their mouths filled with foam; they were Alan's parents. A bottle of rat poison spilled onto the floor, which Alan thought his parents used to commit suicide.That afternoon, Alan had just returned from work carrying a plastic bag filled with food he had bought on his way home. The plastic fell simultaneously with Alan, who knelt down sadly. His tears spilled, seeing the death of his parents."I thought you would survive all this," Alan whispered."Those swindlers! I will find and avenge the death of my parents on them!" groaned Alan, pouring out all the suffering that had happened to the people who had deceived Alan's parents.That night, Alan's little house was so quiet and serene. His father no longer asked about Alan's work. No more her mother, who always smiled and cooked simple dishes in the kitchen.They left too quickly and too suddenly. Alan wants to regret and blame the world for being so cruel to his life, but his energy is depleted ent
***Three days later.Arryn was told a lot by Brian about Ravengarden City. Brian said that if Arryn had frequent encounters with crows flying in one direction, he was on the right way.What appears is the same as Brian's explanation. Seen a city gate with walls surrounding the entire city. Above the gates and walls, hundreds of crows were seen perching.At first glance, the city's appearance becomes terrifying because the crow is synonymous with death. However, that didn't stop people from coming to the city."Are we in the right place?" Arryn asked Ivy."It seems so. Raven means crow; maybe in it, we can see a thousand more crows," explained Ivy.Arryn nodded as he walked down the main paved block road connected to the city. Not only Arryn, but he could see the other visitors walking together towards the city centre.Two gatekeepers stood above the city gates, watching with focus one by one the people visiting the city. They have an essential role in preventing criminals from enteri
"My Father? Don't joke. My father died when I was born," explained Arryn.Quentin smiled. He remembered with certainty the thrilling events when Arryn was born. At that time, the Three Great Gods of Athanor arrived with a roar and storm; they planned to meet Quentin and tell the man about his son's power.He's just an ordinary farmer; daily, he struggles with fields and hoes. The arrival of the Three Great Gods of Athanor frightened Quentin, with his face turning white as death.Elyseus –Athanor's God of Beginnings– says that Quentin must leave Wintermere and study witchcraft. He had to become strong as a Sage to guide Arryn in using his powers.That was why Quentin had kept his whereabouts from Arryn for seventeen years. He only tells Selena the exact location using the crow's message.Quentin left a message that if Arryn reached seventeen, Selena had to tell Arryn about his location. Now, Arryn was really ahead of him at the age of adulthood."We should talk in my office," Quentin a
"Ancient Egyptians? Where's that?" Quentin asked.The Kingdom of Ancient Egypt is a foreign name for Quentin; he never knew other kingdoms. Arryn was confused about what to explain to him, but what was certain was that the two of them were already in different worlds."Somewhere. It isn't easy to explain. But, what is clear is that we are in a different world from Athanor," Arryn replied."If we look at what we're experiencing right now, your power is likely something like dimensional magic," Quentin replied, folding his arms as he watched the workers under the pyramid-shaped building."Dimensional magic?" Arryn asked. He had just heard the magic name, so it was natural for him to feel confused about the meaning of the magic name."A special and rare magic, it is said that it is also difficult to control. That magic can penetrate the boundaries of space to create portals between places," explained Quentin.Quentin suddenly crouched down, holding the sand in his right hand while carefu
***The next day.[Summoning System: Information Status][Welcome][Name: Arryn Vaughan][Level: 28][Title: Unknown][Job Class: Apperentice][Age: 17][HP: 660/660][MP: 710/710]"I've really become a magic user, Ivy," explained Arryn, so happy to see the job class change in his status information."You're lucky to get your class, Arryn. Now you no longer need to deal with the Pantheon about job classes," Ivy replied.Quentin explained in detail what a magic user was, level, then the highest achievement, to the things that had to be prepared to level up.Quentin's level was already at the Noble Tier, the highest class level. It took him about seventeen years to become the sage he is now. Of course, with one goal, to save Arryn by guiding his strength."Master Quentin said something about an apprentice's advanced class," Arryn replied, trying to remember what Quentin had said ye
