Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE

A blank mind was filled with thoughts of a fellow human being, All of its negative emotions and memories were all merged into its one place, It seems that the life we life in is full of endless suffering, Eat, Work, Rest, Repeat, Eat, Work, Rest, Repeat, Eat, Work, Rest, Repeat, and so on at a living endless cycle of surviving, It is a reality of life.

'' Greeting human being, it appears that you were given a blessing, A gift that can change the world,''

'' What is this, what is this sense i'm feeling, i felt suffering all these years and yet no one has to save me''

'' This is just the beginning of you journey my child, All of your suffering that you experience back then will be gone in just an instant, But on one condition''

'' I will accept any condition, even my life depends on it, i will surely accept, regarding life or death''

'' Use the power to rule the world, fulfill your dreams and soon the world will know your strength''

And in an instant, the calming voice suddenly vanishes, leaving a echoed form that was fully heard from the mind of a human being. Gone in a thin air.

In the fast land of the Continent of Andromeda, There were four kingdoms that rule the land of Andromeda, The Kingdom of alborn which located at the west of the continent from which the former ruler is known as King Phillip , the vast land of the plains , the Kingdom of dagas, which is located at the southwest of the continent, from which the former ruler is King Luscious ,from where the terrain is most likely mountains and valleys, the kingdom of Valkard, located at the southern part of the continent, The former ruler is King Ralion, the environment here is a vast ocean from which their territory is the islands of Valkard, and lastly the kingdom of Ralica, located at the eastern part of the continents, their former king is Bernard similar to alborn, the environment is also sunny and a touch of meadow weather,

The four kingdoms rule the land of andromeda parting their ways to survive, and uniting their kingdom as one another, helping each other, sharing their traditions as one another and yet helping each other, As the kingdoms grew more, several migrants came to the land of andromeda, hoping to start a new life and experience the great life at the land of andromeda

As such, Andromeda is a large continent, consisting a natural environment for animals and humans, and yet their blooms are adjusted as such, consisting of flowers, plants, fruits, vegetables and more, also the terrain that the land of andromeda it provides are limitless, such as the plains that the alborn and ralics it provides, the immesurable mountain range that was stretched around the Dagas region and especially the famous archipelago of the valkards

These information tells us that the continent of andormenda provides a lot of natural resources that may balance human lifestyle the kingdoms emerge this era named "Unital era" where the four kingdoms were at peace and the kingdoms unite at each other,

More than 100 years ago the unital era still remains, providing good sustansial health and maintaining its lifestyle, along with those 100 years , there were no violence nor battles that the land it provides more than 5 generations had passed and yet, not a single war it happened, The environment that make it more lively and more peaceful, Struggle isn't a thing anymore and conflicts were never a thing , The four kingdoms swore to protect the Land of Andromeda

And yet, peace didn't last long, as the nations live a happy life, the Dagas region maliciously attacked the two neighboring kingdoms, The Alborn Empire and The Valkard Empire, because of the limited resources that the two kingdom had, they easily outnumbered by their strength, The dagas region is a large area of natural resources it provides, not only that, The Dagas region is composed of large sets of armies that will devour nearby villages and certain parts of towns that located in nearby the nations territory , Left with no other choice, the two kingdoms fought back, using all their strength to fight back the once beloved nation they trusted all these years, And soon the four nations had decided to fought war on each other, Thus reviving the Great war era

The endless war that the four nation had to face was grieving, and had to face the struggles that they will encounter, Every battle counts as their last resort, A once happy place to live in suddenly became a never ending battlefield full of struggle and horror that brings to this world, a world were betrayal and grieving torment are common than seeking peace and yet a shed of a glimmer of hope.

11 years later, The war still remains, As the war continues, more and more casualties arose and increasing the deaths of the innocent ones, each death represents the lost of hope and joy that the world had in the past, A once peaceful world suddenly became a true nightmare for the people, each day strives about survival and prosperity to us humans. The people of Andromeda wished that the war will soon end and thus regained our peaceful they once had

The extending war turned into silence, a large trumpet was heard all around andromeda, A loud musical trumpet was noticed from the people below, Ever since that moment, the people stopped as they saw the once night sky suddenly bright its fullest, covering its dark sky onto a big cluster of golden light, The last time they saw a bright sky was 11 years ago, The people cried as they saw the gleaming light, like they saw hope to this world

Suddenly, The gods of the underworld emerged at andromeda, shining a bright light upon the sky, all the people from the four nations saw the glooming light covered at the night sky, The clouds vanished in thin air , The winds flew aggressively and showing a human like figure shining at a bright sky, The people from the four nation notice this and thinks that they finally restore peace under the gods impression,

The god of the underworld stares at the people on the ground, covering the bright sky and left a shadowy figure, The god himself as Octavia, she is the god of the underworld, the true ruler of the Land of Andromeda, including Earth, she herself can hold immense power and the ability to grant any wish that will happen, She can control reality herself and the power to change the time and space itself

Out of context, Octavia is their god, their diety that will save us from suffering, Even then the people who involved to the war worshipped and prayed to Octavia, The people who believed in Octavia constructed shrines that were made on old and poor materials, believing that it can cause god luck and a better chance to fulfill their wishes, The worshippers had once told the wish to Octavia, "OCTAVIA, LEND ME YOUR STRENGTH'' , beliving that the stronger the person, the more battles will achieved and soon restore peace to Andromeda, Not revenge, Not vengeance , But to gain strength that was involved in war,

The worshippers of Octavia thinks that strength can fix any solution, including wars, The more strength that the person can handle, the more advantage that the solution will led, not only that, instead of any other wishes, they chose strength because they are the key tools of winning and the ability to fix any solution , including the impossible, Not only that, They believe strength was just another ability given to the human body, It allows us to survive regularly, And the strength of the normal person determines the fate of survival, It is the main rule of survival were surviving is crucial to protect themselves.

After that, Octavia saw the desperation of the people below her, she saw that the people were suffering because of the war that they been through, They managed to survive and overcome heavy obstacles, they endure the pain that they had been through, survival is just their only option to live in this cruel world, They put all their might just for their sake of humanity and the survival of the fittest is mostly common in this kind of situations, They soared their only hope, worshipping and praying to their goddess Octavia, their only viable option that ran to this world, To this day, they finally saw a glimmer of hope, Octavia, goddess of the Underworld

 

 

Then, Octavia raises her voice and loudly said to the people of Andromeda below her

"People of Andromeda, hence I will give you the strength to live peacefully to this world, The strength that I will give you grant immense power in hoping for your survival, Use this power to soar the Land of andromeda and hereby use this power of mine for your one good"

After the speech that Octavia delievered to her people, the people heard the last and joyful words, the crowds cheered for their hope for survival, thinking that they will soon end the war and thus regaining or restoring the peaceful life that they had once and will soon revive the once fallen era " Unital Era"

After the burst of happiness that the people of Andromeda had received, Octavia led their final farewell to the people below and soon Octavia smiles at the people who once worshipped her and vanished, Octavia slowly fades as the shards of sunlight began dissolving his whole body, The white light bursts into fragments that scattered all over the night sky, creating a beautiful experience from the down below, The scenery attracts nearby people from Andromeda as they saw their wish is completely fulfilled, The shards of sunlight covered the night sky, it was been scattered to create a wonderful experience from the people below, The goddess of the underworld beagn to vanished, countless golden shards floating to the air, soon of all , their lord and savior disappeared in mid air ,left with out a scratch, and she vanished in less than a second,

After that, The people down below started feeling pain on their right hand, The excruciating pain made the people worried about their health, whilst the believers think of this is some kind of power that their god has been granted, They think that their wishes are fulfilled and soon will require the strength that the goddess Octavia gave to us mortal humans, Octavia lend us her power to provide us safety to stop the war and yet regained the peace they had been left on, she promised us to make the humanity that once we had and swore to ourselves that we will use this power of the goddess to fix their roblems and soon restore the happy memories that we once had.

Suddenly, a gush of light immedietly covered the hands of the people down below, the light that emits are located to their right arm, the same arm that felt excruciating pain that panics the people below, The right arm shines a yellowish-golden color that is brighter than expected, as well as the pain suddenly vanishes and the excruciating pain that they experience are nullified, The believers thought that this is the transformation of the power that Octavia lend to us, and will soon grant us immense strength hoping that people involved at the war will soon survive this cruel world that they had to face.

The bright light that was covered in their right arm suddenly vanished and was reverted back to normal, whilst a tattoo was covered in the right arm with a unknown symbol, The tattoo was showed a dark circle resembling a button that was attached to a human body, not only that, a ring like structure was covered along the tattoo, the black ink cannot be removed and it is permanent and intentionally placed by the glowing light that covered the hands of each individual, The tattoo shows a dark ring that the tattoo was required to press it

The people saw what was happening and was shocked because a ring tattoo was placed at their right hand, showing a mysterious symbol and a unidentified pattern that was likely placed so that the people from down below are required to press it because the tattoo has a lump that was covered the skin used in their right arm, resembling a button that was attached to their right arm, not only that, they think that this is the blessing that the goddess Octavia provides to us

Out of curiosity, the people pressed the button that was attached by their right hand, hoping to grant immense strength that the goddess provides us to survive, but their expectations met an undesirable fate,

After they pressed the button, a large letter stumble at their eyes , it vaguely said "SYSTEM REBOOTING, PLEASE WAIT" written in a enormous letter that was covered in their vision, while the loading screen was circulating nonstop showing a bar ranging to 100%, currently the bar slowly progress and is at the 12% mark, The people that pressed the button complains that there were no strength that was circulating the body and blames the believers for such useless power

But the believers of Octavia slightly disagrees to their opinion , saying this like, " If you posses the strength of Octavia, you shall punch that rock beside you to prove the power that she gave us" And yet upon hearing this, one person who pressed the button immediately followed orders and punched the rock that was beside him, Upon punching the rock, the man felt excruciating pain due to his using all his force to punch the rock, The man trembles and says to the believers " What foolishness are you thinking, The goddess didn't gave us strength, it was all just a hoax", After that, a man from the crowd noticed that the progressive bar is almost complete and is reaching at a astonishing 99% of level whist the text written to their vision still says "SYSTEM REBOOTING PLEASE WAIT"

After a few seconds, or even longer, The progressive bar finally reaches to its fullest, reaching the 100% mark, the large text suddenly vanishes and immediately shows a newer larger text called "THANKS OF YOUR PATIENCE, SYSTEM COMPLETING" ,

Suddenly, a large icon appeared from their vision, The icon shows a leaderboard that was composed of a ranking system ranging from 1st to 3rd order, The leaderboard was used to determine the strength of a person, The more strength of one individual has, the higher the rank is, This can determine the skills and talents of one person has, And yet, the more you train , the more abilities will grant you to improve in the battlefield, The leaderboard is not just any display, but a measuring tool to determine the strength or power of a specific person.

The people were confused because there were a large icon that was blocking their vision, showing a leaderboard that was tied to their name, Even there is a chance to gain strength, for them, the leaderboard is useless because it cannot provide strength and power that the goddess received for their own good,

Then one boy from the crowd immediately figured about the leaderboard, The boy name is Nato Arawi, an 17 year old boy from the Alborn Empire that both of his parents died on the war, his father died on the battlefield and his mother died in a accident, were his only remaining relatives are his uncle and his two brothers,

Nato was once a believer, a prodigy and a gifted child of Alborn, He lives in a life of only wars and suffering ever since he was born ,Ever since that day he finally found the opportunity to get stronger, to believe at the goddess Octavia, he believed strength is just a thing, but once human strengtg gets fully developed, he will soon conquer the world and make the world a better place

 

 

He suddenly figured out the main purpose of the leaderboard and demonstrated its functions,

He calmly shouted at the crowd, carefully explaining the true purpose of the leaderboard that the goddess gave to us, ''People of Alborn , I figured out the gift that the goddess Octavia gave to us, this is the strength that lends us to gain power''

Then Nato took one of his bread from its pockets and immedietly ate it, he munched the old bread like his life depends on it, then out of nowhere, his rank from the leaderboard instantly rose up to 1st , his ability points rose up to 2 points while the others were stuck or remain to their current rank,

As an aside, the people starts off with the ability points of 0 points, doing simple tasks that require strength such as eating, walking, standing, sitting, and more will increase your ability points to +1 points thus increasing your strength, But doing hard excercises such as push up, running, lifting weights will gain a huge increase ranging from 10 to 100 points per hard training , And since Nato ate the bread earlier, his ranks increased from N/A to 1st in the leaderboard

People whose ability points have 0 or remained 0, their ranks will be displayed as N/A and will not shown in the leaderboard, The strict rules that the leaderboard provides are very challenging, there often shown as formidable as is looks, Such as the ranks of N/A will not be shown in the leaderboard because they are depicted as weak and useless in person, So the N/A rank are very useless in the battlefield,

The Leaderboard made up of of two options, The regional leaderboard and the international leadrboard, First of all, the regional leaderboards consists of their own leaderboards based on the residents of each kingdoms, And since the population of Alborn Empire drastically decreases, the number of the shown leaderboards are decreasing in number, The Alborn Empire had over 21,982 residents based on the census data that the government provides, And thus the leaderboard had over 1st place to 61,982th place, consisting of all the residents of the Alborn Empire including children and old people, The regional leaderboards only saves the rank of the corresponding nations, such as the Dagas Empire had their own leaderboards, from which is not visible when you are not a resident of that specific nation, And since Nato ate the bread that he stuffed his pockets earlier, his ability points rose up to 2 and made him the 1st rank in the system leaderboard of the Alborn Empire

Meanwhile, the international leaderboard consists of all the nations merged into one leaderboard, a ranked, global display showing top performers all around the land of andromeda, rather than regionally or locally, It is shown at the top of the main menu of the leaderboards, right beside the Regional leaderboards, Nato saw this and instantly opened the menu tab and forcefully clicked the International leaderboards , He saw that he is not the only one that ranked up first, but shows several nations from the land of andromeda immedietly started ranking up, He saw that he was at the 257th place on the international leaderboard with the ability points of 2, The right side of the ability score shows what region does the person live in, determine that the leaderboard has their own location system and know what place they currently live in.

Currently, Nato was ranked 1st in the regional leaderboard of the Alborn Empire, making him the first to rank up in the Alborn Empire, but his expectation met an undesirable turn, In the international leaderboards, Nato was ranked 257th place and the ability points of 2, making him the weakest among the international ranks, Whilst the others gaining an advantage to get stronger.

 

Nato knew that he wasn't alone because several people fastly ranking up hoping to get stronger, he knew that he was outnumbered by other nations because of their strong understanding about the system leaderboards and their strategy to counquer the land of andromeda, this gift that the goddess gave to us was no ordinary gift, but a will to survive in this grieving world. The goddess Octavia tests us that the will to survive was the key to achieving great survival.

Not only that, he wasn't alone, his parents died because of the war, he overcome struggles and his trauma for the past 11 years of The Great War Era, Nato live in a great poverty where food is scarce and surviavil is their only option, his two brothers were suffering and left with a endless suffering, Nato only goal is to change a world into a better place and soon return to the peaceful era ''Unital Era''

After that , Nato curiously looked at the international leaderboards, hoping to find something unususal, while that, he saw the current 1st rank of the international leaderboareds is Mortis Asil, he belong to the Dagas region where he currently lives in, Mortis ability points was 65 points, higher that Nato expected, Nato believes that Mortis is the strongest warrior in the Dagas, he can tear villages in seconds and a deadly leader that shreds nearby enemies in seconds, because Mortis knew the system leaderboard, he instantle figured out the mechanics in less than a second, he determined the purpose of the system and immediately started ranking up with the use of the international leaderboard, because of his hard training, His ability points rose up to 65 points, currently higher than any person that was on the international leaderboard,

Upon ventring at the international leaderboard once again, he saw that the ranks in between 2nd place all the way to 21th place, Nato saw that among the international leaderboards, he saw that the leaderboard was self-possessed of Dagas region armies, Nato saw that their ability points were in fact closer to Mortis, exceeding from 58 points all the way from the current rank of 21th place from which is 36 points in total, while the others came from other regions.

Also the international leaderboard consists of all the regions immersively merged that creates into a one and only leaderboard, So all the people that live in andromeda were belong to the international leaderboard, instead of a standard regional leaderboard, the people from different regions purposely belong at the international leaderboard, Currently the leaderboards show that there were 219,896 people that was on the leaderboard, consists of all the people that liv ein the Land of andromeda,

Based on the census data, there were roughly 21,982 people that live in the Alborn Empire, this si shown currently at the regional leaderboard of the Alborn Empire, it is consists of 37% of the population are men, whilst the remaining 63% of the data shows that there are women, Thus the conclusion is more obvious, the country data shows woman is more populated than men, And this explains of the lack of soldiers and battle experience that the country provides,

After that the Dagas Region consists of 98,102 people, mostly five times the population than the Alborn empire, because of that, its massive population makes it the strongest empire in the land of andromeda, consisting of an equally balance of men and women, they share the same percentage as 50%, no more, no less, exactly 50%. The manpower that the Dagas Region provides made the nation more powerful and capable of conquering the land of andromeda due to its will and inspiration.

Meanwhile the nation of Valkard empire share the same fate as Dagas region, consisting of the manpower it provides, and since the kingdom of Valkards located at the oceans, it is formerly composed of islands and is widely known as the archipelago of the Andromeda, Its total population is lesser than any other nations, due to its archipelago structure and terrain it provides, the total population of the Valkard Empire is 45,002 people, doubling the population of the Alborn empire also the strength it provide, They are easily known as the '' Twelve island of the North" or the shortened term "TIN'', TIN is responsible of all the armies and happened to manage the battlefield itself. Its ruler, King Ralion, is the head manager and ruler of the TIN organization, it is yet composed of powerful armies that are very talented and are the most dangerous association that they developed in the land of andromeda

Lastly, The ralics are easily known for their profound resources, they are known as the wealthiest countries in terms of advanced capitals and compounded materials, Their main goal is to provide support for the war, instead of involving to it, The ralics provisions the Dagas Empire because The ralics does not want to involve the war, nor battling the Alborn itself, instead they joined forces to The Dagas empire, in hoping to not get captured, The ralics were the first to surrender at the Dagas Empire because they will no cause destruction nor obliteration of the nations, and yet their population is larger than valkards, They are 54,810 people, higher than Valkard and half the population of the Dagas empire The also have highly trained soldiers, compared to Valkards, they provide limited resources to their soldiers because they are mainly focusing at their goals to side with the Dagas Empire and both of them will rule the land of Andromeda

And as for the international leaderboard, when combine the population, the whole population of Andromeda was about 219,896 people that lived inside Andromeda, from which is basically the list of people that was at the international leaderboard.

Nato thinks that the power that Octavia lend to us only happened in Alborn but Nato was wrong, the whole population of andromeda was affected by Octavia's power, because of that, more people from different regions saw this opportunity to rank up faster so that they will gain a huge and better advantage for the battlefield, With a simple glimpse of the leaderboard, Nato was left behind because the Dagas region took their power that was given by their goddess, Their only hope of surviving suddenly became frail, like a sudden disaster forcefully lend in between, Their wish to becoming stronger suddenly became more disillusioned as their strength to live suddenly became lost, like the war is still going on, like an endless loop of suffering, casually doing it over and over again, the constant suffering made Nato mind go blank, the repeated actions that he experienced left him traumatized, The gift he swore were instantly faded, Nato knew that he couldn't give up, he must find a solution.

After that, Nato was finished explaining the purpose of the leaderboard and its functions, Even after that , The people from the crowd went clueless because the system provides about the ranking system, didn't carefully explaining the full details about the leaderboard and the gift that Octavia gave to the people down below,

While the crowd was confused about the situation that they be facing, Nato pressed the button once again, hoping to find clues about the systems leaderboard, Upon searching, Nato finds a question mark icon right beside the settings menu. Nato carefully examined the question mark icon that appeared on the menu icon hoping to find answers about the systems leaderboard,

Until then, a large text appeared at Nato vision, saying this like, "TIPS AND RULES, PROCEED/DECLINE" that strewn at his vision, With no hesitation, Nato accepts its request and proceeds to its rules option Inside the rules option, there were a list of rules about the system, alongside the remaining context about the rules and regulations, especially adding the tips and tricks about the systems idea

Upon discovering this, Nato warned the crowd about the Rules option that was located below the setting menu, The people heard this and immediately followed Nato orders, The crowd pressed their button tightly, hoping to know about the information about the system, Until then, the people finally found the rules option, They opened it and shows the rules and regulations about the leaderboard system, they read it in their very own eyes, carefully reading it one by one, hoping to not miss major details about the system. Then the crowd went silent as they are reading the rules and tips that the system provides to us.

As an added information, the higher the ability score that the person has, the more strength that person stored into his body, Ability points are the economy of the strength, right below the main menu, there was a store icon labeled merchant, Inside the merchant, you can use your ability points to buy certain skills, buffs and especially magic, Currently, the merchant is mainly used to get stronger, buying skills are a crucial step for attaining a victory in the battlefield, They are the foundation of reaching its full power of the system, The goddess Octavia gave us a chance to get stronger by using the gift that she gave us, The gift provides us to get stronger, adding merchants to the system makes it more viable and feel more easier, The gift grants us immense strength similar to the god, by adding skills, buffs and magic makes it more worthwhile , gaining an upper hand to the battlefield and attaining our lives just to survive.

The ability points are used to get stronger, but you can use the ability points to buy new set of skills, but the downside of using the merchant is that when you spend your ability points to the merchant, your ability points will decrease and therefore weaken your body, It is risky to use the merchant due to its penalties of spending your own power to buy specific items in the shop,

The only recommended way is to train hard and tough workout to gain a specific amount of ability points, The hard training can earn about 100 ability points per exercise, The more the exercise, the higher the value of ability points it provides, not only that, killing animals and human beings grant ability points based on the strength of the animal, It can range in about 50 ability points to 1000 ability points, From which the highest value exceeds at the 1000 mark, it is mostly depends on size and strength that the animal was stored in their body, the system calculates the weight and the power that the animal it provides, gaining a calculated amount of ability points that a person receive. Where as killing a human being only grants on about between 10 ability points to 50 ability points. Because the human body only stored strength and the system does not allow this kind of situation, So consequences occur when killing a human being because goddess Octavia will never do such a thing and only provides little ability points just to prevent mass murder and reducing the risk of betraying and backstabbing partners.

Alongside with that are the skills and magic that the merchant provides, there were three sections ate the merchant store, The skill sections, the buff sections and lastly the magic sections, these sections from the store supports as the main tool for the battlefield, There are the structures of gaining strength that the system offers to do so. The ability points serves as the economy of the merchant store, the ability points are used to buy skills, buffs and magic from the merchant store, The best definition of this is that the higher the price of ability points, the powerful the energy that will stored around the human body,

Even that, the skills, buffs and magic are intentionally placed at the human body so that they can possess the power that they bought in the merchant store, the skills that was bought in the merchant store were immediately stored at their body, thus aquireing the skill that can be used in the battlefield After that the skill section of the merchant store provides a skill set of weapons that can used on the battlefield, skills are a fundamental part of strength because it provide the use of weapons and armory from which is a important choice for fighting. The skills in the skill section can be easily obtained by spending ability points that ranges to its lowest price of 1000 ability points all the way to the most expensive skill from the store, raising its prices in over 1,000,000 ability points.

Each skill set are easily changed based on the weapon that was currently equipped, Because of that, the skill section composes of FOURTEEN sub sections that determines the skill set of each desired weapon,

These are the SWORD TYPE, SPEAR TYPE, AXE TYPE, DAGGER TYPE, HAMMER TYPE, SCYTHE TYPE, GLAIVE TYPE, BOW TYPE, MACE TYPE, WHIP TYPE, SHIELD TYPE, CANNON TYPE, CLAW TYPE, and lastly PUNCH TYPE WEAPON.

These type weapons are a part of the sub skill set of the skill section of the merchant store. And since the system is highly advanced, it can access peoples abilities and their mastery on a type of weapon, So the system leaderboard will show the recommended skills set that was based on the mastery of a chosen weapon And since the skills from the shop are expensive and overpriced, it is better to grind up and earn ability points because the skill will overly enhance the attacks and made the weapon stronger.

The main purpose of skill is that if you bought that specific skill by spending ability points, whether it is cheap or expensive, that skill will be memorize itself, all the techniques and mastery will be embedded from your memories, thus mastering the skill you obtained from the merchant store

Apart from the skill sections, there were the buff sections of the merchant store, the buff mechanic plays an important role in the battlefield, these buffs gain a significant advantage at fighting, In definition, Buffs are used to enhance the persons skills and yet greatly increases strength, these buffs typically used in unlike or harse situations, this is mainly used by strengthening their stats such as increasing their strength, endurance, agility and intellect , Unlike skills that are permanent and stored into the memory, the buff had a time limit, meaning buffs are temporary and are not permanent, They only last long at a hour or so, The buffs in the buff section can be only obtained by spending ability points that had the same price, from which is 2,500 ability points, The buffs remain the same price and a lot cheaper compared to other sections in the merchant store,

There were only six buffs that can be bought on the store, Buffs can be easily marked by their colors, each colors represents its purpose their mechanic that had their own purpose in gaining different sets of abilities, Each buffs unlocks a person special ability or to strengthen their stats, And since buffs cost about 2,500 ability points, they remain the same price, All of the buffs are labeled 2,500 ability points, thus concluding that the buffs were way cheaper and resist the same price,

The first buff was red potion, its ability is to strengthen the power that was stored inside their body, There main purpose is to increase their strength continuously until it reaches its limit, The effect wears off in around a full minute , Yellow potion, its ability to boost the damage of a specific skill, this only implies when the skill is about to unleashed, thus dealing devastating damage, The effect wears off after casting the skill and was a one time usage. Green potion, its ability to heal wounds instantly, especially nullifying and neutralizing negative effects such as poison and more, The effect wears off upon using it. Blue potion, its ability to enhance magic damage that was used for magic users or mages, The effect only wears in a full minute, the same duration as the red potion, Orange potion, its ability to cast damage reduction, specifically, damage reduction reduces the impact of the incoming attack and will cause less injury, along with that gives a huge boost of endurance, The effect wears off when the tine limit is at the full minute or taking too much damage after using the buff, lastly, Violet potion, its ability to turn invisible in a short period of time, Wears off in around 5 to 8 seconds, and mainly used for escaping.

In an easier definition, buffs cost the same price as 2500 ability points, which makes a reliable and a lifesaver tool for such harsh situations, Buffs are a positive status effects that boost a persons stats, such as continuous damage, higher and stable defense, increased movement speed, and especially health regeneration, They are mainly used for gaining an advantage in combat. Especially strength reliant buffs such as red potion and yellow potion, and support buffs, such as green potion and violet potion.

Lastly there are the magic sections, magics are essentialy overpowered when it comes to the battlefield, it is composed of a specialized energy that generates based on the environment that the world has, They are the foundation of the battlefield, from which whose abilities are meant to enhance skills, dealing high damage, and especially designed to dish out massive area damage that deals specific spells that gain a advantage at fighting,

Magic spells is an item that was located at the merchant store, They usually cost at around 120,000 ability points and 10,000,000 ability points, Unlike the two sections that relied on combat, Magic spells are overly expensive and hard to obtain, Because of its luxurious environment, they are considered as the expensive item in the Merchant store, Second place hold to the skill section, While that, magic can hold immense power to the human being, They are measured as the secondary damage dealers, and the utmost reliable item that magic can obtain by spending ability points.

To activate the magic spell, it is important to need a life energy known as mana, For a clearer definition a mana is a supernatural energy source that were mainly stored in our body, it is usually found on everything, including people, creatures, living beings and especially the environment that was around us, it serves as a raw energy for casting magic spells and using magical powers, It is a fundamental fuel for magic as it is was the purpose of creating vicious spells from the magic sections, If you use your powers, your mana will drain continuously, To increase your mana, you need higher ability points, An in a simpler meaning, the higher the ability points, the higher the mana that was stored into your body,

Currently, there were eight magic spells that were named Elemental magic, Hence, the name elemental is magic was stored by nature, it is composed of reoccurring nature that the planet provides, Originating from based magic, each spell focuses on using thress elements for offense, defence and connecting in nature ,it can manipulate the forces of nature by using the magic spells that required to use ability points

The elemental spells are, Water caster, Fire caster, Wind caster, Earth caster, Frost caster, Thunder caster, Light caster and Void caster, Elemental spells are observed from lowest to hightest, based on their cost and the higher mana that the magic consumes

 

Water magic is the most cheapest of the magic spells, ranging from 120,000 ability points, the water magic provides control on the battlefirld by using water as its substantial tool and can control water based materials at a large area were large bodies of water are located such as lakes, oceans and rivers, It require little to less mana, but on rare conditions, if the environment requires a huge bodies of water, it can cast spells freely but the mana will consume vigorously

Fire magic costs around 150,000 ability points, it deals high damage and the ability to setout fire on land based terrain, it deals scorching hot damage that may dealt prolonged injury such as burns and more, Not only that, fire magic supports allies by providing control at the battlefield by using fire, but the fire spell only countered by the water spells. Unlike water magic, the mana highly consumes when the magic skill was triggered, Each magic cast requires large amount of mana due to the fire spell consists of high energy output it provides

Wind magic costs around 180,000 ability points, Unlike fire magic, it deals low to mediocre damage, due to wind affects low air resistance, Aside from that, wind magic provides a great impact on the battlefield, it is primally used on high speed offense, from which is a great counter to frontliners that deal massive damage, Then, Wind magic requires little to mediocre mana because of the abilities were largely controlled by air, Apart from that, it is mainly focused on air resistance, manipulation, telekenisis with the use of wind control of air currents, ranging from gentle breezes to destructive weather it provides, It is a great counter for magic spells that are fire based casters

Earth magic costs around 250,000 ability points, it deals high damage with the use of natural elements, such as stones, plants, soil, and minerals, to create a large amount of damage from the battlefield, Apart of that, it can control terrain at a short distance, where large portions of rocks and the amount of trees and plants where the area is usually scattered, it can control and manipulate earth, rock and sand, including abilities like deforming and transforming surroundings, support with the use of rock and soil and creating or bending mineral like fortresses or walls. Earth magic consumes a lot of mana due to the overly wide of view that the spell it provides, such as changing terrain will requires a lot of mana to consume

Frost magic costs around 500,000 ability points, it deals high damage with the power to create, control and manipulate ice, snow and below freezing temperatures, It naturally involves the use of ice and can perform a huge impact around the battlefield, it can freeze enemies by using glaciers and spikes covered in ice, it can weaken enemies defense such as freezing thick armor and swords, The frost magic provides slowness and to freeze enemy backlines ,This magic spell is reliant on mana, and it is reliant on large amount to maintain its stability. Because of its slowness effect, it gains a better chance of weakening the backlines, Hence gaining an advantage at the battlefield, acts as a counter to fire magic.

Thunder magic costs around 1,000,000 ability points, Thunder magic is a high speed attack that deals a destructive elemental magic , it is considered as a high voltage attack that highly depends on either offensive and defensive, it is characterized by the ability to generate electricity and control of electricity to burn, paralyze or deal a wide area of damage to the battlefield, It frequently allows to manipulate electric currents and high voltage electricity whilst gaining a huge impact on the battlefield, Because of multiple abilities and powerful attacks that the thunder magic it provides, It is heavily reliant on mana and needed a large amount of mana to unleash its full potential. Despite its strength, the downside it is countered by water spell by provides a electric current form which damage the users and reflect the electric once again

However, Light magic differs the same price as Void magic, and these two considered as the most expensive magic spell in the merchant store, ranging from 10,000,000 ability points, from which is the highest limit that the magic section can buy, Because of that, the light magic and void magic is considered as the strongest magic in terms of strength, it is capable of storing more energy that the previous magic spells, Aside from that, it can hold immense power and requires an astonishingly lot of ability points to spend, So the light magic and void magic are considered as the most powerful magic wielders that the system provides.

Because of its strength, it also performs well in the battlefield, dealing insane damage that deal lifelong effects that may gain a huge impact on fighting, Since it usually cost around that much, it is partially the most dangerous whist the most deadliest spell that a singular being can provides.

Light magic is a high speed magical element that is used by manipulating light waves from its light source from creating a deadly attack that deals a huge amount of damage, Light waves are the main source of energy of this magic spell, as it does not require mana to recharge each attacks, Instead it feeds out light waves to restore and enhance each attacks, It is either defense or offence ,And since this spell requires light as its main energy, it can do various things, such as summoning light barriers that provide support to the allies, and refracting light, from which is the main source of damage that the light magic it provides, make copies of each living thing that bends reality from upside down, and more

Meanwhile, void magic is a high speed attack capable of manipulating light, usually for destructive abilities, Unlike light magic, it is highly consumed by mana, and can cause destructive attacks that any other human being can surpass even on one singular attack, Each attack can create severly massive destruction, Because of its devastating power, each skill that the magic provides will grant specific buffs according to the skill casters, such as unleasing shadow fragments from which the ability to restore a large amount of mana each time the shadow is unleased, Providing the main damage dealers whilst maintain a better support in the battlefield.

The magic sections holds a astonishly large amount of skills that each element magic it provides, The magic spells from each element are usually called a skill tree, From a better definition, a skill tree is a magic based system where a person unlock new set of magic spells and gaining magical abilities from the selected elemental magic, forming interconnected paths to specialize their character, with branches of different spell types that required to learn and enhance that specific elemental magic, The skill tree offer a increasing power, new effects, and unlocking new sets of skills based on the given elemental magic, The magic spells are bought by using ability points, each spell serves their main purpose of the battlefield, such as Fire magic, (Flaming fireball costs at 50,000 ability points), usually the cheapest skill in the skill tree of Fire magic, or Thunder magic, (Lightning roar cost at 200,000 ability points), and Earth magic (Guardian barrier cost at 110,000 ability points).

Like skills, when you obtain magic from the merchant store by using ability points, whether it is the cheapest maguic all the way to the most expensive magic, it will be stored into your body along with the mana it provides, Magic behaves like a volatile energy source ar a physical substance that can provide unbearably strong magic powers that the human body can handle,

Like any normal human being, it is hard to cast magic because magic it is mainly dependent on mana, Magic casting is often difficult due to the need of mental concetration, precice accuracy around mana and especially intense emotional intent to the body. It requires mastering complex algorithms that every magic was imbued with that specific kind of spell, It often requires deep concetration or specific strong emotions that may activate the skill such as joy or traumatic experiences, Apart for that, it is the hardest skill that was in the human body, as it is requires a lot of experience and mana to safely use this spell magic.

The stored magic that was inside the human body typically serves as a battery or a power source that was embedded inside your body, apart from your bloodstream, nervous system, bones and vital organs, Magic was partially stored in the human mind, concieing the true nature of mana, Aside from that, Magic acts as a high stakes reward, a limited tool that risks life long injuries such as mutating and destroying the host. Overusing magic may lead to prolonged organ failure, due to the body cannot handle such immense power, from which may lead to severe injuries or death. And since the leaderboard system doesn't require any more casualities, the made the magic spells safe and only requires little to no energy, Instead of dying by overessxecive magic, a red box appears on the persons vision, It tells the host of preventing using overusing magic, like a warning notification to provide others for safety, Instead of instant death, overusing and ignoring the warning that the system provides, the user will lose consciousness and began at the healing state. Thus gaining a disadvantage at the battlefield and hence made the host vulnerable, So it is required to follow the system rules in order to safely protect the host.

Rarely, if your mana is severely low ,the system will warn you to gain more mana by using buffs as an alternative choice, such as by using the blue potion, from which will gain more mana and enhancing the magic power it provides, If not, a user is unable to cast spells or perform special abilities, oftern leading to vulnerability, physical and mental exhaustion to the body and in rare cases, it may lead to prolonged sickness that may lead to death. So it is best to manage your mana by using specific buffs or trained to be usage dependent at mana, Or in other simpler tips, expand your ability points so that more mana will visually stored into ypur body, Thus using magic spells with no struggle

The good thing about magic spells is that if you mastered that type of magic by completing the skill tree, the user will change its appearance, it will change body appearances such as hair color, dilated pupils, and smooth or thick skin, also it can change apperances similar of mutation around the body, Mutations grants buffs that may enhance magic spells, For example, mastering fire magic will grant you fire resistant along changing a set of apperances along permanent elemental transformations such as parts of skin turning red or facial hair will turn red due to the element represents fire magic.

 

The person that only relies entirely based on magic is called enchanter, Enchanters specifically functions as specialized wielders of magical power, typically serving as the main damage dealers or entirely base on supporting allies or teammates, They are the main utility providers in the battlefield, as they hold concentrated energy to grant specific magic spells based on their elemental magic, they are specialized, often weiders of supernatural power, manipulating mana and stored energy to cast magic spells, they are frequenly relying on visualization and support for the battlefield, They specifically magic weiders, as they only mastered deep concetration, and ambiend mind to fulfill each spell cast, they are not specialized in combat training and heavily reliant of magic spells and mana consumption, Their source of power is to use elemental magic that was scattered at their environment and are mainly used for their own internal reserves such as water magic from which is reliant on bodies of water like oceans and lakes or earth magic, from which is heavily reliant on map awareness, terrain formation and more

There is one type of magic user that both relies on swordsmanship and magic power, They are usually called war chanter, In a easier definition, a war chanter is a person who uses magic while wielding weapons, It is a stronger form of mages, usually holds immense strength wile using combat-based skills, It is typically a warrior that uses magic to enhance their physical attacks or cast elemental spells between weapon swings. Unlike enchanters, war chanter provides less mana consumption, due to its magic spell only reliant to weapons skills. War chanter has the ability to change their weapon form or increase in power based on the type or amount of magic infused to it. War chanter is essential to fill the roles of a offender and a defender, it blends martial combat proficiency with magical abilities that gain a advantage in the battlefield. Most War chanter uses magic to increase their own combat effectiveness, using elemental spells to gain a higher damage output, such as a ordinary sword was embedded with a fire element, thus making it stronger and deals a increased damage.

And as such, buying skills, buffs and magic spells from the merchant store are required to spend ability points, When you bought it, your knowledge from that specific skill will be instantly recognized and thus mastering the skill that was bought from the merchant store. Meanwhile, buffs are different from skills, instead, buffs costs around the same price, about 2500 ability points, but each buffs serves as a different purpose that may gain an advantage in the battlefield, such as strengthening attacks and increase damage and regenerative healing. On the other hand, Magic is bought by using ability points that differ the diverse price, Like skills, when you bought the elemental magic, the magic will immediately stored into your body, all the knowledge from that elemental magic will be memorized and learned with a specific time after you bought the elemental magic. Once you obtained that specific elemental magic, there were sets of remaining skills that were related to that specific element, there were usually called as skill tree,

Also the system provides the merchant store a sell mechanic, usually a sell mechanic can sell items from the merchant store, It can sell any items that was belong to the merchant store, such as skills and magics. Selling items are a must when you want to remove any kind of skill and magic that was stored in your mind. Thus erasing the memories that was stored on that specific skill and Hence instantly forgetting it and unable to use it again. Selling items grant ability points based on the price of that specific items. But there is a catch, selling items will grant less ability points compared to the current price of that specific items. Because the system does not require any set of refunds it provides, so selling items give less ability points than buying it.

Also, the body of the host is fully developed by the system, so the leaderboard system provides a black ring tattoo that was placed into the persons right arm, the black ring tattoo parentally resembles a button that the person was required to press it in order to show the leaderboard system, Any circumstances of removing the black ring in the right arm (Cutting your right arm or person that was raised with no limbs is involved) will relocate the ring tattoo and immediately placed in the person chest. So that it is easily remembered and easily fixed the problem.

Upon further explaining the rules that was located in the leaderboard system, Nato understood about the true purpose of the system that Octavia lend to us, it is not a gift, but a curse that thrives for consuming the nature of strength, power, and unleashing the real purpose of survival. It is a game that the world wants us to entertain, it is a test that serves as the new state of the new world. We are not born equally to fight nor to right. We are force to be individuals to the nature of survival , We cannot survive this properly, Not even the curse that the goddess lend to us. Like Octavia saw her people being worshipped portrayed like a small and weak mice purposely hunted down its prey,

Nato felt a tremendous chill as he read about the system rules, the crowd were shocked upon learning the main purpose of this strength. They read every bit of detail that they could find about the rules of the leaderboard system, there were only a purpose of the system, a large leaderboard that shows the strength of each individual, measured by their ability points and sharing their spotlight around the land of andromeda. Only that were shown in the system, no more.

The crowd began muttering around the place, like a huge conversation between the people suddenly merged at a absurdedly amount of noise that produced by the crowd. As the noise grew more, Nato's mind became more anxious, like his life depends in this situation. The problems suddenly blurred in his mind, full of thoughts and memories that was covered on his mind. Unable to do with this tremendous power that the goddess lend me.

Suddenly at the crowd, a large scream that caught the attention of the people, The crowd went silent after they heard at the loud scream coming towards at the people, After that, A farmer that was carrying a whole bucket of carrots screamed at the crowd, The farmer has a worn out clothes, technically shows a ripped out shirt covered in dirt, and was covered in bandages, The father introduces himself as Nato's adoptive father by the name of Kith, He was a soldier at war and was recently lost his right arm after the battle of the Dagas Empire

Nato was shocked because his adoptive father immedeitly goes to the crowd were Nato was located, Out of anger, Nato shouts at Kith,'' Father, were you supposed to be at the village, taking care of my two brothers,'' Nato said angrily

After that, Kith at his dischevaled state, instantly lowered his buckets full of carrots and dropped it on the ground, The carrots were covered in mud and other plant based soil that was submerged on the carrots, Kith said to his adopted son, '' You useless boy, you talking back to me whilst I've been carrying carrots all day, and this is the kind of message you respond to me, I lost my right hand because of my country, and now, this weird symbol that was miraculously placed on my chest caught any attention to you?'' Then, Kith did an unexpected twist, he ripped out the bandages at his right hand, vigurosly taking off the bandages that was protecting him and healing him from his wounds, Right after that, Kith removes the bandages from his right arm, showing a severed arm that was sliced in half, whilst bleeding from the insides

The crowd were shocked because the farmer showed his arm being chopped off and leaving it half, they felt disgusted because the amount of blood was poured at his right arm made the crowd lose its temper and physically avoiding kith from exposing his severely hand wound showing to the crowd, The right hand was severly bleeding becayse Kith performance made his injuries got worsened, and shows that Kith determination at his adopted son made his mind go blank, Nato saw this an was shocked because he risked his life over an argument about his adoptive father, Nato mind completely filled with edges and turns, like his mind was overexceeding with thpughts and problems about this life

Finally, Kith said to Nato in a cold expression, '' Nato, this is the true art of war, one wrong move will change four perspective in this world, Each decision Nato will end in a undesirable fate''

 

As Kith said his final words, Kith collapses to the ground and began fainted out and lose unconsiousness, One person from the crowd saw Kith laying on the ground, unconscious, began approached at Kith and began checking his pulse, he tightly gripes Kith left hand, hoping to see Kith alive or not, Out of surprise, His hand became colder and his heartbeat finally stops, Kith grueling eyes made the crowd more horrified from what they saw, Kith died due to blood loss, all of that because of Nato foolishness

As an aside, Kith is a retired soldier that serves at the war, He was the one who rescued Nato and his two brothers from death, Nato and his brothers were lying on a scrapyard, vigorously hiding at the corners, hoping to end the battle and not to get spotted by the enemies, Kith saw the boy hiding at the piles of junk, Despite the injury that Kith faced that time, he used all this strength to carry the three boys to the safety camp, During the rescue operation, he lost their battle against the Dagas Ragion and lost his right arm. Despite they lost the battle, Kith presence didn't lost and saw this battlefield as a sign of victory.

The reason of Kith did that because Nato is scared of the war, he always didn't return home and provide support to his two brothers, he is always lazy and being scolded at Kith and at the top priority, Nato is scared to serve to the army of Alborn due to Nato's cowardliness, and his underconfident about himself, Kith is always caring from Nato's two brothers, he is struggling everyday, always carrying the heaviest material whilst being at a injured state, He still serves to be a farmer just to get every ounce of food and currency, he didn't care about his self now, He just wanted to save Nato's two brothers and provide a loving care from his adopted family. And since Kith is a man of war, Kith showed the true nature of war, showing its horrors and struggles that it provides, And Kith proved that his death is more meaningful than his life.

Nato saw this and began bursting his tears, his foolishness were the one who cost this, He didn't provide support to his family, like he abandoned his own sanity to this world, His only hope of surviving suddenly collapsed to his very own hands, He didn't betrayed his family, he betrayed his discipline towards others, He saw his dying adoptive father still resisting the pain that he been through, The courage to sacrifice his own limbs just to rescue Nato and the others, He didn't die peacefully, his death shows a meaning for Nato, The meaning is that his last words show how terrifying the war is, All the struggles and horror were merged in one place. All his trauma coped in this very existence. The war lasted for exactly 11 years, during that there were no peace and prosperity, only war

Out of fear, Nato was left with tears as he saw Kith sacrifice, he think that he is behind all of this chaos, the leaderboard system, and the death of a soldier that once saved his family from the war. Amist the chaos that soar at the crowd, Nato didn't hesitate and left the crowd, He sprints all his might because of the trauma he faced during that time. He lost his sanity during the war, until now

The people saw Nato left the scene, immedeitely saw him sprinting away at full strength whist holding back his tears because of the pain that he been through, The people from the crowd muttered at the fleeing boy saying things like ''What a cruel boy, he didn't felt any pain from his father, and yet he ran away of his cowardiness'', ''What a spoiled kid, he should be ashamed from himself, he didn't do any good for his family, does he felt any remorse?''

Instead of chasing a stubborn boy, the people let the boy go, surviving his own because of his mischief behavior, the people of Alborn abandoned the stubborn boy, and the people called him ''Useless Boy''

And after that, the people from the crowd gathered at the dead and lifeless body, The farmer shows a cold expression after dying, right after he said his final words at his adopted son Nato, Then the people carried the lifeless body and place it at a wheelbarrow, the ground shook as they placed the farmers body, like the weight of the farmer is heavier that the weight of the wheelbarrow it provides, due to the wheelbarrow is made of light metal that is usually used in carrying soil and other plants and vegetables, Then the wheelbarrow managed to handle the weight of the farmer lifeless body, from which the people took it to be buried at the cemetery,

While carrying the lifeless body of a farmer, one man noticed a ring tattoo that was placed at his chest doing something unusual, the black ring tattoo suddenly glows at a bright light, the same light that was transformed their tattoo at their right hand, Then the light emerges from the body a started levitating, the orb of light floats to the air, symbolizing the soul of the farmers still conscious and still awaken, The orb of light emits a sensational light that emits every corners that the orb produces, basically a living soul that was composes of the artificial system energy.

Suddenly, a notification suddenly pops out in their vision, Not only that, all the people from the crowd both receives the same notification. The people were confused because this is not shown in the rulebook system, The rulebook says that notifications acts as a gift that contains various rewards like ability points, But only one rules were shown '' Killing humans will grant 10 ability points to 50 ability points, And killing humans with natural causes will grant each witnesses 10 ability points each person'' The notification says that ''Kith died of unnatural causes, The ability points will be split equally'', Showing a box that labeled the corresponding text. Indicating that Kith died of severe blood loss, When the people opened their notifications, they were surprised because they all people that witnessed Kith death grants them 10 ability points, portraying that Kith death means that we had hope to this cruel world.

Then the beam of light suddenly vanishes, fading into tiny crystal membranes that floats into the air, The people that was involved on this mess suddenly became more sorrowful, They grant at least 10 ability points, still small compared to other items that is needed a lot of ability points, And since the crowd had 10 ability points in their strength, they immediately think that there is still hope to survive this cruel world,

They saw the main purpose of ability points of granting strength to the user, The people saw that there are numerous ways to increase your strength and purposely strengthening it to its domain, They saw the ability points as a tool to get stronger, they can use this opportunity to get skills from the system's store, and the opportunity to possess magic so that they can handle magic easily and learn about the corresponding skills for each weapons,

Because of Kith's death, people from the crowd grant them 10 ability points each, hoping to avenge the people that hurt him especially the Dagas Empire, and will soon use this tool for ending the war.

After Nato's disappearance, Five years have passed since the goddess Octavia lend her gift to us, During those five years were hell, the war didn't stopped and the four countries declared a war of andromeda, and more people had changed because of the leaderboard system,

Currenly, the ruler of Alborn, King Philip, was assassinated by the unknown spy of the Dagas region, because of that problem, the government decided to elect a newly king of the Alborn empire, from which is the new ruler of Alborn is King Aurelius, an elected king that surpassed its mastery

Because of King aurelius bravery, he conquered more that 50 villages in every countries, making him a great leader, he saw the leaderboard's system main purpose, it can strengthen allies and other soldiers to its fullest, he saw the items in the merchant shop make it more stronger because the system unique ability to possess any skills that bought and immediately stored and embedded in the mind of one individual. From such it is the main purpose of gaining a strength.

Because the leaderboard system, King Aurelius can determine the ranks of each person based on their strength, They can see this by looking at the leaderboard and it will show the first place of the rank all the way to the lowest rank,

So, King Aurelius established a new set of organization known as the Luminous Knights, this organization consists of higher ranks ranging from first place to fifth place, Similar to the Valkard Region from which is the top organization known as TIN, The Luminous Knights of Alborn consists of specially trained knights that undergoes special operations, It is the most powerful heroes in Alborn that was determined by their ranks, It is easily seen at the regional leaderboard system, measuring a lot of ability points, that differ the set of skills and magic it provides. Hence the name Luminous, it is our savior and the protector of our countries, The knights symbolizes a radiant light that shines through the battlefield, viscously reminding us that there were courage and the glimmer of hope of war. and The Luminous Knights possessed either extraordinary skills or mastering a true sense of magic, ranging the elemental magic to its full potential, unlocking the skill tree or possessing high cost of mana to the user, Unlike normal people, Luminous Knights were used to sent on dangerous missions, and also, providing support for invanding lands and territory such as villages and nearby towns,

The system provides a precise calculation about ability points, and since ability points determine the strength of an individual, it is a must to exert all your strength based on your ability points, you can obtain ability points just by doing excersices or killing animals based on their size and strength, But the Luminous Knights is different for normal people, they undergo intense training everyday, hoping to grind ability points effectively for spending skills and magic items in the merchant shop.

An after that, The modern day of Alborn grew stronger because of the system, The land they lost suddenly reclaimed by their own hands, and yet no to little casualities were reported during those Five years, Their forces grew strong because of the leaderboard system that helps one person to become stronger, Skills, Buffs and magic were part of the show, There were the building blocks of the battlefield, they provide a good use to the battlefield, they are the power that Octavia lend to us, and especially, they will reclaim soon the peace that they been experienced,

16 years of war, and not yet a single change from our kingdom, The four kingdom that they uniteb suddenly became enemies, no more happy memories, no more peace and prosperity, only war,

''Is 16 years of war good for you'', ''When will this gonna end?'', These are the people that was involved of the war, The war that is deeply personal to ours, it is just to compel to fulfill territorial demands hoping to conquer the land of Andromeda, their minds were easily brainwashed by greed, and they showed their true strength towards others.

And as the last bit of sunlight covered through the clouds, there were no hope of achieving the peace that we been stored, And as the war showed blood and sweat, there were no possibilities of claiming our possession, It encompasses our dignity towards others, hurting our fellow human being that didn't show good morals and only the horrors of war, killing innocent people were the stages of war as it si directly connected to our point of view towards others, and especially, human suffering is the key of achieving our full potential to ourselves, our own dignity that was imbued to this kind of life, and all of that is the destruction of the mind of each individual, coping the trauma that they face, they face hell before, always surviving every day, facing fear is not an option, it is our lifestyle that was controlled our mind of the war.

''16 years of hell, I like that word'' King Aurelius firmly said at the balcony, sensing his country was in total destruction, he glazed at the night sky, full of shining stars and galaxies scattered all over the sky, he remembered all the screams of little children that he heard from his youth, he didn't forget his suffering and sorrow that he faced at that time, Full of guilt and trauma were filled on his mind, he is so stressed so that he developed immense thoughts about himself, to becoming a great leader of Alborn and soon end the war.

Then King Aurelius glazes at the shining stars, hoping to make a wish on Octavia, ''Octavia, thank you that wish that you received from us, but this strength is still lack at your full potential, So please, goddess of underworld , Octavia, please lend us your strength,''

Suddenly a large shooting star shines through the night sky, King aurelius saw this as a wish being fulfilled at last, saw this as an opportunity to make a change at his country, hoping to make a great ruler of this country.
