Suddenly, a system window appeared before Raymond. He was so surprised that he wasn't able to gather the first words. But just when the window stayed in his field of vision, he mumbled.
"What is this?"
Raymond contemplated what was in front of him. It was azure blue and transparent. The font was also dark with white borders, and the corners of the window had some artistic curling designs like a Greek pillar.
Raymond decided to keep an eye on it and assess its concept. He read all the way through the description before jumping to a conclusion.

It was the status, but supposedly, he should not be able to see it, as to see the status, a card was required. And also, it was a profile of a person, so it wouldn't be able to check it easily.
There was a rule behind these profiles, and so, since it was common sense for everyone, Raymond could only ponder.
His memories were just useful.

One: Awakening Ceremony
- Raymond will have to attend the Awakening Ceremony to unlock his Profile, talents, and acquire skills. He should at least be knowledgeable of what the preparations are before the Awakening Ceremony.
- The preparations aren't well-known to everyone, and so, with the knowledge of what's going on in the plot, we hope Raymond learns how to take things to his advantage.
- For three years, the player will remain safe. To successfully finish this quest, you must remain alive with no grave injuries.
- Every side mission is added to the points and will serve as preparation.
Requirements: Healthy Body, Preparations
Rewards: A skill appropriate for the Talent acquired.

What was this? Raymond didn't have any recollection of this system window. It appeared real and surprising, but as he looked at it, he gradually grew accustomed to it. It was as if he could understand a bit of it.
Even though he didn't know it, he used his calmness and time to inspect what this system window was. And there, a thought entered his mind.
"This is my cheat-like ability?"
He couldn't help but smile with giggles, but as he thought about it, it wasn't that great. It was a mission, and there were no particular benefits to doing it.
They mentioned skill as a reward, but no particular use of it as it still depends on his Talent.
It wasn't great. There was no breath-taking information in the system window. It was just that he could see his Profile, so what of it?
That was wrong... His expectations were doomed to be disappointed as it didn't even meet any of his speculations. He thought that this system window was just a small advantage, but not entirely, as a few seconds later, a button appeared.
---
Inject the destined plot? Destiny is malleable. Read all the contents and finish the mission.
---
Raymond was only speechless. He was so stunned that he didn't know how to react. What was the purpose of this?
Raymond simply calmed down, only intrigued by what his face told him, even though he was deeply confused on the inside.
Inject the plot? Plot? Was this a story or a game? RPG? Most RPGs have a plot in them, and the settings of Arcana are like a game with levels. How should he put this?
He needed more information. This wasn't enough. What was this system that kept on appearing before him? What was the use of this? If it did benefit him, would he have anything to give in exchange?
But just as he was about to contemplate it, another notification popped up.
---
Read the description: Role Play System
---
Description? Role Play System... So it was the name of this system window that kept on appearing before him. It was shocking, but he was just as collected as before. He was so calm that there was no obvious expression on his face.
He slowly raised his finger to click on it. He didn't know if it worked, but he was moved to click on it.
Click!
There was a sound mechanic, but he didn't pay any heed to it. He continued to keep an eye on the system window and read all the contents.

Read this important notice. You have been chosen by the Dragon King to fix his predicament. His fate is now in your hands, and you might ask why he chose you. Well, it was just because he doesn't trust himself.
The Dragon King is a troll, so don't get too emotionless in this life. The bottom line is that he pitied your life back on Earth. He already made a plan for you to live in this world happily, but, of course, with challenges.
As already mentioned, the Dragon King is a troll, so he won't surely give you an easy life. So, he used his life to give you a life filled with challenges.
You won't meet the Dragon King unless you finish all the chapters in his life. As for this life, another description will be presented.
---
Raymond was dumbfounded. What the hell was this? This wasn't even a proper description. Was he just being played?
"Troll? The Dragon King? So, depending on the title, 30 years from now, I will become a Dragon King, or is this life destined to be the Dragon King?"
There were plenty of questions in his mind, but they were just blocked by the scarcity of information. And just as he wished for another one, another description appeared.
---
Read this important notice. This is the life of the Dragon King, in an original plot. He had designed his life for your convenience, but with a twist of challenges.
The Dragon King rearranged his life into a plot with plenty of challenges and predicaments destined for the character.
"Character" is the term for you as you are part of the plot. Whether you believe that you are the main character depends on you.
The Dragon King faced different doom days. This means that the problems he had in the past were no jokes. They were all fatal or had the potential to be fatal.
Complete the missions and chapters. If you don't wish to comply with this, you can just reject it and return to the proper flow of reincarnation. But please be reminded that you can't undo your decisions.
However, you should also be informed that this offer is solely planned for you. You don't have any rivals, so the decision is in your hands.
---
Raymond was speechless again. The Dragon King planned this all for him? A benevolent one that was so kind.
"I was given another chance for a better life. Even with challenges, the Dragon King sure knows what kind of person I am."
Of course, he accepted it!

Mission #1 of Chapter One: Inject the Plot
---
"Inject!"
Information rushed to Raymond's head as soon as he clicked the word "Inject." It was the button for him to have the plot and learn what the destined incident was supposed to happen. And as it rushed to his mind, he was calm, sitting on his bed with no particular expression.It was as if he was listening to music that brought a few colors to his eyes. Even with his eyes closed, he still saw plenty of dashing colors in a form called memory.The information became part of his memory, and that made Raymond accustomed to what would happen in the future. There were plenty of unwanted and crucial moments before the Awakening Ceremony, and in this chapter one covered his whole one-year training after the Awakening Ceremony as well.There was plenty of information ranging from the easiness of it all, to loving moments, problems, etc. But what was crucial was the information about things around him that he was supposed to not know before.In the political affairs that brought him difficulties,
Raymond browsed once more through the system window. Apparently, it can be called. After plenty of attempts to summon it, it can be called "System." Crazy, but Raymond's guesses were inspired by the books he had read.Finally, Raymond was reading all the way through the description of Chapter One. The requirements that he had read before, and the previous description were only a summary. Raymond should understand more of them first.---Chapter One: Awakening CeremonyAfter awakening a # Grade Talent, you will receive your first skill from the same ceremony. You will be tasked with improving your grasp of the Talent you have and will come to the academy after a month.The month will decide if the student is qualified to be supported by the village. If the student couldn't grasp more of their Talent, the village would put them on the waiting list where their studies would be extended for two years for them to learn more about it.---Raymond nodded as he tried to understand every word
Is it best to feel the warmth of being alive? This was the experience Raymond always wanted to treasure and might be the most beautiful thing that ever existed in his life. His life on Earth stopped when he was 12, but another life continued at 12 as well. Even if there were problems presented to him in the future, he at least had some clues on how to fix and overcome them. What Raymond needed to learn now was how to use mana. Indeed, even though he was still unawakened, he had a chance to feel the mana. In the past, there were cases where unawakened people were able to feel the mana. They were called prodigies, not only because of their ability to feel the mana but because they were also able to open a status card without being awakened. What was it? Well, it was only a normal status card. It shows people's progress and what would appear there if an unawakened person were able to open it. Well, only their stats. People with these kinds of abilities are always one step ahead of o
"So I only progressed this much? It isn't that disappointing. I still have more time to come. The more energy I get, the more immersed I am in it." Raymond mumbled while in his meditation. After a while, Raymond decided to stop meditating for a few hours and went to the living room of their house. He then met his younger sister, Lilia, there. "Big Brother! Can you help me with this, please? I accidentally pulled the curtain earlier." Lilia asked, with the teary eyes of a child. Raymond snickered, then nodded. He approached his sister and helped her with the fixing of the curtain. After that, his sister thanked him. "No problem," Raymond said, then left her. Apart from preparing for his MP, Raymond had to think about his physical strength. With constant practice, strength rises. So, he might be thinking of exercising. However, of course, he should not exert himself too much on it. He was still 12 years old, and his bones were still weak at that age. He still needs more improvemen
"Hunting? Why would we go hunting? I am still not at the right age." Raymond replied to his father, who was preparing some materials.His father looked at him from top to bottom, then went back to his face. His father smirked, then went back to preparing."Look at your body. It is forming well, but it would be wasted if you didn't practice hunting. After all, your age would be the best age to practice hunting." His father said.Raymond was left wondering. It was not because of why he should practice, but how his father thought of it. From his memories, his father never asked him to practice hunting. This just made him curious about the change.Was it perhaps that he was training? But even with it, his father was not the type of person that would ask him to go hunting since his father was one of those overprotective parents.Raymond was left with no choice. He then searched for his mother and looked at her. His mother only snickered at him, knowing that he was looking for an ally. But
"Vertical Slash..." Raymond mumbled on his position as he looked at how greatly his father finished the monster. It was too easy, perhaps because it was only level one.Knowing that the mother was already dead, so Raymond moved and approached his father since he had some questions in his mind. As he approached him, he noticed that his father was flawlessly cleaning the blood from his sword.'What an amazing father...' Raymond thought."Father, at what level can you survive? I heard some voices calling 'levels,' then I thought there was a power range standard in this venue."His father was dumbfounded for a second as his son mentioned it to him. Then, later on, he smiled and patted Raymond's head. He brushed the hair strands and then complied with his question."You really are a genius, Raymond. But to answer your question, I can only take level three, and you must be curious about how I can easily kill that, huh. Was that the reason you asked me?"Raymond nodded to his father's questi
Raymond was only waiting a few months until his 14th birthday. His family held a small celebration with his friends and some close neighbors. He was happy about it and enjoyed his birthday, as it only comes once a year.He truly loves this life. It was as if his wishes from the past were now fulfilled. Well, indeed, this life was already fulfilled since his family and friends were around him.He was never hungry for love. He was full of it and received much more than he wanted. But there was still one thing that he was happy about. This year, his stairs would be formed.He was afraid and angry because his memories showed that this family was trampled by someone who had a position in the village. However, as he had come prepared, he was dedicated to taking revenge, or it would be appropriate to call it a play.Revenge would not be funny if the other party didn't know their mistakes. And so, it would be a play since it was fated that their family was already corrupted.He didn't hate th
"What kind of human is she?! She doesn't know that men's testicles are the most sensitive parts of men's bodies. It is the treasure of men!" One bodyguard of a young man exclaimed in such an irritated tone."I know, that is why I kicked it right on the spot." Rebecca sneered as her eyes were rolling away from sighting them.Standing outside of Raymond's family's house were two bodyguards, Rebecca, a young man, and Raymond's mother, Rowena. They were standing outside with different expressions on their faces as a commotion was happening.The commotion was starting to attract attention, and as someone who heard it was close to their father, Rudy, it immediately reached Rudy's ear until Raymond.Rebecca had a stalker, a young man named Fulgran. He was a young man aged 17 years old and also the only son of the squad commander of the special unit. So, knowing this much, at least, this young man came from a prosperous family.However, Rebecca doesn't care about any of it. She was so impulsiv
