“Try pressing the watch on each of your hands,” said Moe.

Moe resembled a cat’s face with a cute male voice. Funnily enough, Moe’s body soon appeared in the form of a cat with thick grey fur.

Viona looked surprised to see Moe’s moving form and the girl approached.

“So cute,” said Viona happily, even reaching out her hand. Amazingly, Moe could be touched even though it was just a system.

Leon pressed the watch on his hand, and a screen spread out in front of him. The boy turned to the others, but saw nothing, only finding Sean who looked silent with his gaze focused forward. Gio was the same, nodding his head and even occasionally exclaiming. Then he turned to Zenata but the girl seemed to be staring at him. Leon turned his attention back to the front, ignoring Zenata. After all, Zenata was one of Jono’s henchmen, someone Leon hated.

“What’s going on, Maya?” asked Leon.

“That’s the system you have. Information that only you know. No one can see it except you,” replied Maya.

Was that why Leon didn’t get anything from the others?

“You have twenty-five minutes to understand it,” Maya informed. “I’ll be back after you’re done. Moe will be watching over you.” After saying that, Maya simply disappeared.

The five Veritas High School students chosen by the Thousand-Appearances Dimensions System was Leon Alexander. An outstanding student. A scholarship recipient with the highest grades in his entire class, his demeanour was calm.

#Leon Alexander Elard

- 10,000 points overall

- Element: Water

- Aura: Blue Navy

- Power: Unknown

- Weapons: Archery, and sword.

- Ability: Leader.

Leon frowned when he found the information written on the screen. He didn’t understand it at all. Then there was a statement, #Must find your own strength.#

The information was quite strange to Leon. The boy clicked on one of the icons there which then brought up various pictures of weapons, there were only two there, as written above. If you want to take a weapon, have to click the take weapon button. Leon followed the instructions and clicked on the icon. A bright light appeared in front of him and then a floating weapon appeared in front of Leon. The boy took it, staring at the weapon.

On the other hand, Sean is the same. Received a weapon.

#Sean Hogo

- Total 7000 points

- Element; Wind

- Aura: White

- Strength: Martial arts with wind element and long-range attacker

- Weapon: Sword

- Ability; Compass and map. Directions.

Sean also received his weapon in the form of a white sword. That's all and Sean looked confused and then looked at Leon who had been watching him. Sean then turned to Gio.

Then Gio. The man looked happy with the weapon he had.

#Gio Austin

- Total 3000 points

- Element: Earth

- Color: Brown

- Strength: Close-range attacker.

- Weapon: Spear

- Ability: Supplies, food.

Just like Sean and Leon, Gio also received a weapon in the form of a spear with an iron handle, sharp and pointed at both ends. The tip of the spear is about 7-10 cm long with a pointed tip. The tip of the spear is serrated but sharp with a dark brown colour and gold engraving from tip to tip with a wave motif.

"Wow!" Gio exclaimed in amazement while holding the spear and posing to attack. The spear could change shape from short to long. "Amazing." The two boys' eyes widened.

Leon and Sean's attention, who still hadn't seen what their weapons looked like, were more interested in the weapons the two girls had gotten. The first was Viona.

#Viona Arabella

- Total points 5000.

- Element: Water

- Color: Light green

- Strength: Attacker

- Weapon: Sword

- Ability: Cooking, information seeker.

Viona took the weapon in front of her, holding the middle part of the weapon which was shaped like a sword. The scabbard of her sword looked beautiful with a light green vine motif. On the hilt of her sword was a beautiful emerald gem. The girl looked at the boy who was watching her and then pulled the sword from its scabbard. A sharp sword with a green line in the middle. Viona's smile widened.

Then what about Zenata?

#Zenata Aurora

- 2000 total points.

- Element: Fire

- Color: Red

- Power: Ranged Attacker

- Weapon: Fire Bow

- Ability: Healing

Just like the others, Zenata took the weapon in front of her. Everyone watched in silence. The bow with a medium-sized quiver confused them. Shouldn't the quiver be long?

"Recurve bow. Try pulling your arrow. Can you do it?" Moe said to Zenata.

The girl obeyed. Taking an arrow from the quiver, and when pulled, it turned out to be quite long like a regular arrow with a sharp tip and a tip made of bird feathers.

"It's a magic quiver. It's small but can hide arrows. It will appear when you need it, and it will be loaded automatically," Moe explained while wagging her tail and sitting quietly in front of them.

Zenata's gaze was fixed on the others.

"Try aiming the arrow at the tree over there," Moe ordered.

Once again Zenata obeyed.

Taking a position to shoot. The girl hooked the tip of her arrow to the thin and strong bowstring with her right hand. Holding the bow handle with her left hand properly as if she was used to holding the tool. After feeling it was enough, Zenata released the arrow.

The arrow shot as fast as lightning, and in mid-air, the arrow emitted fire and hit the tree trunk and in an instant, the fire burned the leaves of the vines.

“Wow!” Gio exclaimed again, surprised by Zenata’s weapon.

“Fire arrows. Your element is fire?” Moe asked. Zenata just stared at him coldly. “Okay. Good. You’re quite professional at playing it, Miss. It seems like you’re used to it?”

“Yeah, I play darts three times a week,” the girl said proudly, making Gio and Viona chuckle at her arrogant tone.

“Okay. Good. Now we’ll test your weapon in twenty minutes before Maya returns,” Moe said. “Viona, try swinging your sword.”

This time, Viona was the one who would test her weapon. With her right hand holding the sword hilt, the girl focused her gaze on the target and then pulled her sword. With a flash of blue light that appeared when Viona swung her sword, the tree trunk that was her target split at an angle.

“Water sword,” Moe said. “Your aura is green, but your power is water. Very good, Viona.” Moe praised, making the girl smile and look at Zenata proudly. Zenata herself just rolled her eyes.

It was Gio’s turn. The man swung his spear, a flash of light came out from the tip of the spear, and the tree that was his target was immediately destroyed at the point where Gio's spear was swung.

"Spear of destruction. Earth element. Very good Gio." Moe praised. "Then, Sean."

All eyes were on Sean this time. With a sword sheathed in white with gold motifs, the sword looked very beautiful. Sean's sword was also white with a touch of gold. The man drew his sword, and the sound of the blowing wind surprised them. Moe laughed. Sean then swung his sword at the target, within five meters, the tree behind the target was also cut down. They didn't even notice Sean's sword movement.

"Wind eye sword. Very good. Your element is wind." Moe said while nodding.

Then they turned to Leon. The man got two weapons.

"Two weapons, huh?" Moe was a little confused. "Try your arrows first, Leon."

Leon obeyed. Leon's archery was also the same as Zenata's, namely the Recurve type with a blue bow with red motifs. Leon positioned his arrow parallel to his shoulder, like Zenata who usually plays archery. The man held his bow with his left hand, and the arrow with his right hand. When released, the arrow shot, the tip of the arrow emitted a bright blue light then hit a tree, and instantly the tree froze.

"Ice arrow?" Moe looked at Leon. "What is your power?" he asked then.

But Leon was silent, the boy checked his system screen and then shook his head.

Moe was confused and detected it herself.

"What is this?" said Moe. "Your power is unknown?" he continued.

Everyone looked at Leon who was indifferent.

"Look at your sword," Moe ordered.

Leon just obeyed. The scabbard was dark blue with a red line pattern and a fire motif along the scabbard. The sword was also similar, only dominated by red-like fire. When Leon pulled it out, everyone's eyes widened.

"How strange," Moe commented and approached Leon. "There is no blade?"

Leon only held the scabbard with his left hand, while his right hand held the sword hilt but there was no blade. That's something strange. How is that possible? What does it mean?

Moe spent a long time analyzing Leon, and the weapon the man had and his undetectable power frustrated Moe because he couldn't find anything in the system.

"I have to tell Maya," Moe said.

"What do you mean?" Sean asked.

"I can't detect anything. Maya might know something, I have to call her," Moe replied.

They looked at each other. Worry and fear were more visible on their faces, especially Zenata. The girl tried to stay close to Leon even though the others didn't like her attitude. Leon himself only paid attention to the sword in his hand, his system didn't detect anything, or provide any additional information. Unfortunately, there was nothing. The bladeless sword was very mysterious with a faint aura that Leon could feel.

This time Maya was wearing a combat outfit like in a game movie. “What happened?” Maya was confused as the children stared at her.“Maya, there’s something strange with this kid’s system,” Moe reported while pointing at Leon.“What do you mean?” Maya asked in confusion.“Look. His sword blade is gone,” Moe said again.This time Maya’s attention was drawn to Leon who was still holding his sword.

    The summer village had characteristics like the seasons they recognized in the real world. Where in the summer people would dress a little open, go on vacation, or sunbathe on the beach. In that place it was not much different, only every building they saw was different. There were no tall buildings or luxurious houses, there were only traditional houses or buildings with natural materials from wood, bamboo, or even leaves. Very unique."First, let's find a place to stay," Leon said with a busy look looking for a place.They walked among people wearing summer clothes but strangely each of them was wearing a black robe, like the one they were wearing."Excuse me," Leon stopped a woman wearing an open dress, showing her long white shoulders under her black robe."Yes?" The woman answered but was not friendly at all."Is there an inn here?" Leon asked.There was no answer from the woman. But the woman's hand was raised."Just go straight, then turn from that big tree.

Their minds were still affected by the story they had just heard from Azlan, a stranger who owned the Poisonous Rose Inn in Summer Village.Sean was the first to react, the boy turned away from the middle of the room and chose one of the beds."This room is strange," Sean said, making everyone's attention turn to him. "It's as if this room is specifically for us. As if the innkeeper knew we were coming," the boy continued as he turned around.However, Sean's forehead wrinkled as his vision suddenly blurred. The boy rubbed his eyes while the others looked around. When Sean took off the glasses he always wore, his vision suddenly became clear. To make sure that it might be wrong, Sean put his glasses back on but his vision was blurry."Wow. I'm fine without glasses," Sean said in disbelief and decided to take off his glasses with a big smile.Sean's eyes were indeed minus which made the boy always wear glasses."I d

    The place was spacious with dim lighting from large candles and torches. The sound of sword slashes, screams of pain, and thunderous laughter filled the spacious classic room. A foreign place that felt so far from sight. One given by the situation, felt tense."He will come as predicted." The sentence sounded soft but so clear with laughter that broke the night sky.The pair of eyes stared sadly, a thin smile on his lips before his head fell to the floor that was no longer shapeless."No!"Leon woke up with sweat pouring down his face. His breath was gasping and panting. The boy swallowed his saliva greedily. His throat was dry. Calming himself slowly, Leon was surprised by the figure who was still in his place, staring at him who was starting to calm down."You surprised me," Leon complained to the person sitting on his bed."Are you okay?"

Actually, what is that black creature?"This is an established safety zone. You don't need to break into it even if there's a commotion. Get out there!" Azlan shouted angrily at the creature floating in the air.There weren't just one or two creatures there, but there were several. The bright light that was still shining chased away the black creatures. After the creatures left, the light there began to dim."Everyone, come in. It's safe now," said Azlan to the other guests staying there. They came out of their respective rooms when they heard the commotion. When the creatures came, they were afraid.There are guards in each room who reassure the residents that the situation has improved even though it is still tense

    “So, what should we do?” Viona asked in a scared tone.Leon was already sitting on the chair facing Sean. The man’s gaze was fixed on the table with both hands intertwined.“Shall we go back?” Viona spoke again.“Let’s go back. It’s too scary here. To hell with the key or whatever. I don’t want to be here,” Gio said while looking in all directions in the room.However, there was no response from Leon or even Sean who preferred to remain silent, ignoring both of them.“Honestly,” Sean said suddenly making everyone’s gaze focused on him including Leon. “What power did you get?” Sean asked who this time looked at them one by one. “It will make it easier for us to understand each other, at least.”They looked at each other for a while.“My talent is a guide map, I got a compass which means I am a guide. My total points are 7000, and my weapon is a sword with a white aura and close-range attack ability, and my element is wind,” Sean said explaining his own. “What about you?” Sean looked at

    He took a deep breath. “Alright. Let’s do it together,” he said, which immediately made the others smile.“That’s right,” Gio said happily.Leon just smiled a little, starting to realize that they had come as a team, not as individuals. He didn’t know why they were there, but Leon’s instincts told him that it had something to do with him.“Alright. Then, let’s discuss it so we can start moving tomorrow,” Sean suggested. The bookworm seemed to be a good talker and seemed to really enjoy talking. Leon didn’t mind since Sean was the opposite, with the man near him Leon felt better.They came closer to discuss, dividing the tasks between each of them.“First, tomorrow at noon we have to gather as much information as possible. After that we find out what caused the people of Summer Village to not be able to

    While the others fell back asleep, Leon couldn't close his eyes at all even though his body felt so tired. The boy couldn't close his eyes, the dream that had just happened was still clearly in his mind about the screams and thunderous laughter. Leon didn't understand, and the system didn't provide any information about it when he searched for it earlier.He lay on his bed for quite a while, staring at the ceiling of the room which was dimly lit by the light of a small candle in the corner of the room. Leon was silent, his thoughts were in chaos. Leon was still wondering why they were there now."Who am I?" Leon grumbled in his heart without being able to get an answer. The system couldn't answer when asked the same thing.The place was quiet and felt so cold and tense. The darkness that enveloped him seemed to devour all life there. Leon was still silent, thinking about what the darkness was like."The Summer Village seems lifeless," Leon thought.The boy then woke up from his sleep

However, the atmosphere is quiet because the residents are inside the house, still not allowed to go out of the house."How much longer do we have to wait?" Zenata complained boredly.They only glanced at her briefly and then ignored her.Azlan left everything to the five teenagers because it was a task that they had to complete.Leon who was standing near the window to look outside only glanced briefly. Zenata's complaint was not just once or twice. The girl clicked her tongue in annoyance."Still nothing, Le?"

    Leon frowned for a moment before opening his eyes. Bright light greeted him. The boy rubbed his eyes, his head dizzy."Are you awake?" Zenata's voice greeted him with a little bit of gruffness.Leon's gaze shifted to the girl sitting in the other chair. Zenata snorted, looking annoyed."Are you okay?" The voice changed to sound softer this time and Leon's gaze fell on Viona who was watching him.Trying to get up from her lying position, Viona quickly helped Leon sit up. His gaze wandered, his mind guessing what happened to him. Leon then remembered the reason he was unconscious."What about Sean?" Leon asked as he remembered his friend."I'm fine now. I woke up earlier than you," Sean replied, leaning forward so Leon could see him."How long was I unconscious?" Leon asked."Not unconscious. You slept very soundly," Zenata snapped in annoyance.Leon blinked, not understanding at all why Zenata looked angry."Just ignore her. She's upset," Viona said to Leon while giving him a glass of

Gio approached Sean who did not respond other than coughing up blood.The same thing happened to Leon which made Viona no less anxious until Zenata came but the girl was silent for a few steps seeing the blood coming out of Leon's mouth.Azlan was silent and did nothing."Zenata, why are you silent!" Gio shouted waking Zenata. "Treat them!"There was no response from Zenata but her attention was focused on Leon. "Viona, move," said the girl."What do you mean? Can't you see I'm busy?"

    “What is that Maya?” Sean asked.Before Maya could answer, another red light moved towards Sean. The man froze for a moment. The light was right in front of him. Hesitating slightly, Sean reached out to grab the light and held it in his hand cruelly as the light disappeared, making Sean’s eyes widen.“What is that?” Sean asked again.“Strength,” Maya answered shortly.Next, their system screens appeared together including Leon’s who was now starting to calm down on Sean’s lap with his eyes slightly open. Leon was conscious but the man was weak.“Congratulations! You successfully defeated the Black Mist Dragon. In return, you get 3000 points and two stars for each. You get a Level Up. In the next level, if the other team doesn’t participate, they will be left behind and you will return to the beginning.

    As they had planned. Sean and Leon quietly left the room. They made their three friends fall asleep and would not wake up until morning greeted them. There was a fragrance that kept them asleep. Sean with his intelligence put the fragrance also on several inn doors whose aroma entered the gap in the door at the bottom. This was done to keep them from waking up.Leon said there was a possibility that they were fighting something they didn't even know. But they were sure that they would fight. So, to prevent other people from getting involved or hurt, Leon minimized the possibility of that."Are you ready?" Leon asked when Sean had finished applying the sleeping pill fragrance to each door."Yes." Sean nodded confidently.They both looked at each other, of course, there was doubt from them because they didn't know what they would face after that."Okay. We'll start now. Stay with me no matter what happens, and take care of yourself," Leon ordered."You too," Sean replied. Leon nodded hi

    "That, does it have to be quiet every night?" Leon asked, remembering the night when Zenata screamed.Azlan looked back at him. "Only loud noises and commotion will make the faceless come," answered Azlan. “Only those who enter noisy houses will be considered breaking the rules.”"Then, just talking like this won't be a problem?" Leon asked again."As long as you can keep your voice low," answered Azlan again.Leon nodded in understanding now.“Then who are you?” Leon remembered the events of the night when Azlan chased away the faceless black creature.His laughter sounded soft again. “I don't know how many times you've asked who I am. However, you will find out later.”“You know, in my observation, you know a lot of things. About what happened, about what might happen. About what might happen in the future. "My feeling says, you know more than just know," said Leon.This time Azlan was silent, looking at Leon deeply and sharply. "You're like that, Leon," said Azlan."What do you mea

    Leon came out of the room, looking to the right and left of the second floor of the quiet inn. Candles lit in several corners of the place helped illuminate the surroundings. Leon walked slowly, not wanting to make a loud noise that might invite discomfort.The second floor was safe, there was only silence. An uncomfortable feeling gripped Leon, even feeling so cold and piercing his skin. Ignoring it, Leon went down to the ground floor, in the lobby which was also quiet. No woman was guarding the registration desk, or anyone guarding there.Leon didn't know why his feet were walking towards the tightly closed main door. In the window not far from the door, there was a gap. The man was silent there, just silent with a straight gaze into the gap peeking at the atmosphere outside.Just like what Leon saw in the room, outside there was only darkness. Usually, there was candlelight outside or something to illuminate but there was none at all. Leon thought, is it because the darkness will d

    “If you want, go ahead. But don’t involve me,” Zenata said. Of course, the girl would refuse. “I don’t want to. Never!” the girl said firmly.“No problem,” Sean replied casually. “Me and Leon will do it. Besides, we didn’t suggest anything to you, like Leon did this morning to divide the tasks,” Sean continued.Zenata stared at Sean sharply, disliking the man.“Right. You don’t have to do it. What you did this afternoon was more than enough. If you don’t want to, that’s okay. Sean and I will investigate,” Leon said.“But Le, what if it can’t be handled? As we know, darkness is hard to handle. We’re just strangers who don’t even have the power to fight a king who is said to be dark and cruel,” Viona chimed in. The girl’s face was restless.“Yes, I know.”“If you knew, you would still do it, right?” Gio already knew that Sean and Leon were two teenagers with high curiosity. They would continue to find out until their curiosity was satisfied.“I think you know that too,” Sean said, still
