Catalyst System

Memory Fragments from the Future

In a room full of neatly arranged books on each shelf, a man in his 30s is sitting in an administration chair, serving a mysterious grandfather.

The grandfather was carrying a stick made of wood and a small book and a black ring that was currently being thrust at the sitting man.

“Forku?” asked the man while he was about to take the black ring that the grandfather had thrust.

The grandfather nodded to reassure the man's doubts. After the man picked it up, the grandfather said, “Maaf” briefly without anything else and passed away.

The man simply raised his eyebrows at the strange behavior of the grandfather, but he immediately turned his attention to the black ring he was now holding. The interest in his eyes radiated as he looked at the unique patterns engraved along the lines of those black ring circles that he had never seen before. After all, he is one of the – people nicknamed “Jenius”. Of course, it's not just a nickname. They have an abnormal advantage.

This man, Veroa Fliff is actually the Third Prince of the Kingdom of Sylvania who is known to have been handicapped for life after an accident during a maturation ceremony. Today, he has been stuck in an administration chair for a dozen years and has traveled the world through the books he reads.

Seeing something new, of course, he became eager to find out and solve the mystery.

For days, he passed by reading books that were related to formation patterns. In fact, he recklessly opened a secret room containing – rare books and was a forbidden place for anyone to enter without permission from King Rein, who was not, King of the Kingdom of Sylvania and is the eldest brother of the Veroan brothers.

It's about the law for anyone who enters without permission from the king, the punishment is the punishment of the head beheading that is displayed in front of the public. This law had just been made by the newly ascended king, King Rein.

As Veroa was reading a mysterious book that had an alignment with the black ring she was wearing, a sound of footsteps could be heard. It was the guard who had just got a guard turn. Knowing that, Veroa who was very curious about the continuation of the contents of the book decided to keep reading until the end. In his heart, he said “At least, I will die without curiosity”.

The next day, in front of the city square, many – people gathered while chatting, waiting for the suspect to be punished, for breaking the ban that King Rein had made.

...

In a room room, currently a 15-year-old young man was being dressed up by a servant. She is Veroa Fliff, the third child of King Danmark and Queen Roya. As a prince, the clothes worn were of high quality and magnificent of course. After finishing, he went out to meet his father, mother and brother – brother who will take him and watch the ceremony of his maturity.

In front of the palace, his brother – brother had waited earlier. They are very enthusiastic to welcome Veroa who is considered a genius, because it has been clearly seen in terms of speech, his tenacity in learning and his speed in understanding things.

Only, there was one person who was wearing a mask, hiding his true expression that was holding back the vexation. He is Rein, Veroa's eldest brother and crown prince of the Kingdom of Sylvania.

It happened at the time when little Veroa was practicing sword and archery. His performance really made his father proud. Rein overhears a conversation between a couple at night as she passes through the door of her parents' room. What the two are talking about is the assumption that Veroa is the successor to his throne, the Kingdom of Sylvania will enter a golden era. It made him feel surprised and immediately went towards his room with a furious face. Wrong again, he did not listen to the words that his father said next.

“But, it is not good to take the rights of our first child, Rein. He is the most legitimate successor to the throne. Destiny may not allow him to carry out the duties of a leader. Veroa has a free soul. We should be grateful for what we have found at this time.” that's the words issued from the mouth of the husband against his beloved wife that will make a nightmare for Veroa in the future.

In the room, every night, Rein always thought of the best plan to get rid of his sister. However, he was still a big brother, from the bottom of his deepest day there was still affection. Only, his ambition was too great to let that affection appear. That way, his best solution was, he planned to get rid of his sister by without making her miserable or suffering. Instant death!

But, he never saw the right time to launch his plan. He also felt powerless to do it alone. So, with various considerations, he finally decided to be patient and wait for his sister's maturity ceremony. Because, all this time, Veroa never came out of the palace. He has always trained consistently at his private training ground, sometimes accompanied by his father. In addition, his free time is used to study in the royal library which is still in the castle fortress. With very strict guard at all times, of course this is what hinders Rein's plan all along.

After hearing the maturity ceremony, he immediately went to contact the Ninja Organization service center with the aim of providing conditional killing duties, namely the instant death system. After giving a detailed explanation of the mission he was given, he immediately returned to

castles.

Finally, this is the long-awaited time to arrive. Veroa's maturation ceremony awaited by him. Not to welcome the enthusiasm of the Genius, but rather to remove the barrier of his future ambition.

The journey to the building that is special for the ceremony of maturity, the Cathedral, Veroa with his family using a very luxurious horse carriage. Veroa herself was asleep, leaning on the shoulders of her second brother, Dizz Perquis. However, it was not long, as he immediately woke up with a shocked face that immediately turned his expression into confusion.

“What's up, son? Nightmare?” asked his father to make sure, Veroa was increasingly confused by the situation and his surroundings. In his mind, many questions are not accommodated in the brain. Everything in his dream felt real. The feeling of having his head cut off in front of a crowd was still stuck to his neck. Moreover, what made him hurt at that moment was that his own brother had given the order of the death penalty, just because he had entered the forbidden area.

But, he immediately responded to his father's question with a nod of his head without making a sound. He immediately dived into the strange dream while looking at the outside view from inside the car.

In his dream, he had grown up with a miserable life as a human who earned the nickname “Jenius”. It all started from the path that his first brother took, namely in a way that is not right to fulfill his ambition. He has learned the man behind the accident that left him disabled, the man who killed his father without anyone knowing, he also brainwashed the royal population by instilling strong suggestions so that the population pro against all his decisions.

Suddenly –all of a sudden, in front of his view appeared a slightly transparent screen. Within the screen was listed a few paragraphs of letters that he recognized. It is said that the screen that is now in front of him is the embodiment of a catalyst system that has been integrated with his soul.

He read in silence, trying not to attract the attention of – people around him by pretending to keep staring at the scenery outside the train. After reading through to the end of his entire paragraph, the dream turned out to be the embodiment of a fragment of his soul from a future that had been shattered. About this system, it is still unknown where it came from. For sure, he won't repeat the same future.
