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
Erina didn't want to get into any further trouble with Eran. A magic portal opened up behind the woman's back, and her right hand could be seen stretching forward, causing Arryn to be lifted up. "The Justice Watcher may have lost in this place, but I will make sure the other Justice Watchers in other places will have a different fate," Erina said, speaking to Eran, whose right hand appeared to be blood red, the mark of Arryn's stomach wound. Together with Vera, Erina left the earth until the conditions in that place slowly began to settle. Emissaries helped the recovery process after the short battle. Although the duration of the fight was relatively short, the impact caused could not be taken lightly. "He won on a planet called Athanor. I'm afraid those people are trying to help every Justice Watcher in the entire universe," said Eran, shaking his right hand, trying to remove the blood that filled the man's palm. "The number of Justice Watchers is decreasing. We're at quite an adv
"I haven't worn these clothes in a long time," said Arryn, amazed at the drastic change in his appearance.Goodbye simple clothes and black coats, hello suits and shirts. Arryn was genuinely excited to realize he had become part of the Earthlings, even though he had to admit that Arryn wasn't from Earth."For those who have been there, it won't feel strange when you put it on again," Sersi said."If you intend to take me to see Nicholas, does that mean you'll miss work?" asked Arryn, Sersi smiling broadly in her outfit."I don't mind missing a day of work. They'll understand my situation," replied Sersi.Arryn nodded, feeling happy her friend was willing to drive him, even though he looked different from John Alan she used to know. It didn't take long for Sersi to get Arryn into a taxi bound for the City of London prison, which was quite far from Sersi's residence.The woman had never met Nicholas before. She only knew the man was caught by
Because of this strangeness, a police car arrived at the place where Arryn had come. Two police officers were seen aiming their guns at Arryn, making the man reflexively raise his hands."Don't move!" ordered one of the police officers."I haven't committed any crime," Arryn said, trying to speak to the police officers.Despite Arryn's words, the townspeople did not. They looked scared and anxious, and many took pictures of the incident and posted them on social media."Say all of that in our office," said the police officer, putting Arryn down by trying to handcuff the man's hands.To the officer's surprise, Arryn only had one hand, with burn marks on his face. In the end, both police hands appeared to be firmly grasping Arryn's body. The man was put into a police car and taken away from the center of London."Now, which crazy person are you?" asked the policeman, sitting close to Arryn."What do you mean?" asked Arryn, confused.
The fight was done; the war was over. Arryn walked up to Aurora. The man deactivated his fire armor magic. Aurora's eyes glazed over, happy the Armageddon war was over.Surprisingly, Aurora hugged Arryn's body and buried her face in the man's arms. Her heart couldn't hide her happiness. At last, she could live happily ever after together with Arryn."I'm glad this war is over," Aurora said, crying so happily that making Arryn's clothes wet."So am I. There's nothing to worry about," Arryn explained, his right hand gently rubbing Aurora's hair.Alexia smiled. She shook hands with Alen, who the three people never expected to be alive, "Is there anything else you're going to do this time, Alen?""Considering the situation here is over, maybe I will go to a different world to help Erina win this war," Alen replied.Arryn looked over, surprised to hear Alen was returning to deal with the war in a different world. Arryn understood his responsibili
Without thinking, Arryn flew off with the help of two wings behind his back. He went to the west, where another battle was taking place between Alex and Alexia, Aurora, and Alen.After the battle against the demon army was over, the man wanted to end it all so there would be no more suffering in the land of Athanor. Still clad in his fire armor, Arryn traversed the forest half-destroyed by the freezing ice, with several demons still trapped in the ice.From afar, the tremor and gust of wind could be clearly felt. The battle between the two camps was no longer carried out in the sky but on a vast plain. After passing through the forest area, Arryn's eyes witnessed Alex being overwhelmed by three people.[Summoning System: Great Fire Pillar]A pillar of fire formed around the battle arena, causing Alex to gasp and realize he was surrounded. There was no other way for him to escape but to defeat the remaining Justice Watcher members.Alexia and Aurora
Vera agreed to Erina's order. After all, they had to be woken up quickly to help the Athanor Army's fighting power. The goddess of nature turned her body around, walking on a glass path adorned with a gentle breeze full of leaves every step of the way.The charming woman arrived at the Garden of Life, standing right next to Arryn and Allen, who was lying on the grass. The foliage roots continued to wrap around their bodies. A green light was lit on each root to restore the two's body condition.Now, Arryn and Allen were fully recovered, perhaps even at the peak of their health to fight again. Vera crouched gracefully, making her beautiful dress appear to brush against the grass in her garden.Vera's delicate hands touched the garden soil, her eyes closed, and without any magic incantation, the roots wrapped around Arryn and Allen's bodies slowly began to unwind, giving way to a cool breeze that seemed to wake up the two men.The first thing Arryn saw when
Alexia flew quickly, leaving the central area of Ravengarden City to approach Alex. The two fought a great battle outside the south gate area of the city. Athanor's soldiers could not easily follow their battle's speed.Aurora, who finished defeating the centaurs, went to help Alexia defeat Alex. Using her trident spear, she kept attacking and looking for an opening for Alex to get hit.The three fought fiercely in the city sky. Every attack that Alex failed to hit or was parried by the man was directed elsewhere to cause significant damage.From within the forest in the southern region of Ravengarden, the roar of the demon army could be clearly heard. Followed by Athanor's mostly human warriors to fight, the numbers of the two differed greatly from each other; Athanor outnumbered the demon army.General Elvan, along with King Jean-Louis, were at the vanguard. Elvan was ready with his sword, while Jean-Louis would fight using his magical abilities.
***The next day."Wake up," said one of the Athanor Magus members.Not just one person, but all of them reminded each other. Alexia and the other mentors explained that today was the day they would have a big battle.The sun began to rise, the light illuminating the entire Ravengarden area filled with Athanor troops. They were ready early in the morning because, according to what King Jean-Louis had planned, the attack on the demon army's encampment would be done as early and fast as possible.Alexia was ready in her Justice Watcher uniform, as well as Aurora. Now, both were the center of attention and hoped for many people, not Arryn anymore.Aurora opened the door to Alexia's room, seeing her friend standing with both hands resting on the window frame, like a nervous person."Are you alright, Alexia?" asked Aurora.Alexia turned her head slowly, looking at Aurora, who had just arrived in her room wearing the same Justice Wat
***Alexia went to the city government place, along with Aurora, Quentin, and Ivy, which was why they came. That afternoon, they planned to propose King Jean-Louis for a surprise attack on the Demon Army encampment, according to the intel provided by Ivy.She knew how strict her father was in making decisions. The middle-aged man had to think about many things before acting, including the good and bad consequences. The Armageddon War could be a major war that determined the survival of the two primary races, Humans and Demons.If one side won, it could take control of the entire place, considering both sides' main armies were in Ravengarden this time. However, the human race's position was quite advantageous after two battles won by the humans, even though they had to sacrifice a city.Since the sudden invasion of the Southcoast, the royal side has tightened control on the cities south of Athanor. The leading troops were divided into nearby towns in case
