Somewhere, there was no light, only darkness, Veroa floated there naked. The light that radiated very little from his body. He looked forward, sideways, up and down, then saw a faint beam of light on his body. In his current mind, he speculated that he had died and that the body was the embodiment of his soul that had left his body.
From the darkness, flakes of light suddenly appeared, slowly flowing regularly at one point. The flakes of light came together, one by one the flakes of light were arranged to form a still faint body, as the light emitted increasingly shone brightly.
Veroa witnessed the phenomenon without being able to do anything about it. His body, though shaped like his body, was unable to control it. If he wanted to run, it was impossible. Worst thing, if he met a God, maybe he would be sent back to Hell. He was sick of feeling the pain there. But, his bad estimate dissipated after the bright glowing figure in front of him spoke to him.
“Halo, Milord. Do you know me?” asked the Luminous Figure, his voice melodious like clear water in the Garden of Heaven River or even clearer.
Now, too, a very holy aura was emitted, more holy than the aura of the God who had punished him after the sound was heard in the eardrum of Veroa. “But, Milord? Is he not wrong people?” veroa said in his mind, because indeed if he wants to speak, the manifestation of his body is just a decoration.
“No, Milord. You are Mr. Veroa Fliff, the Third Prince of the Kingdom of Sylvani”, said the Bright Luminous Figure, notifying him of a little knowledge of what he called his master. It indicates that the Bright Luminous Figure is not wrong for people.
“If you can tell, who are you? Why suddenly call me’Tuan’?” veroa asked spontaneously, not realizing that the Luminous Figure in front of him could hear the murmuring of his heart.
“I am a Catalyst System, who has been with Mr. I am ready to guide you to achieve your goals, My Lord and this is the manifestation of me” said the Luminous Figure, a figure who is effective regal, it turns out to be the Catalyst System that has helped him a lot.
“Eh?”
“What's up, my lord? Is there a problem or something else?” ask Catalyst System, surprised by the response Veroa only said “Eh?” just.
Veroa only realized that the interaction between the two is done from heart to heart. But, he immediately understood that the Catalyst System was within his soul and body, it was not strange that he could not listen to the expressions of his heart.
“No, nothing. I just felt surprised that such a holy and glittering figure that felt even grander than the God punishing me was the one who had been helping me all along. I feel very inappropriate to be accompanied by a Great Figure like you”, said Veroa, expressing what he wanted to express.
Behind that sparkle of light, the Catalyst System smiled at the honest words of Veroa. “The destined figure does have a good attitude” he said in his mind, admiring the figure he said ‘Destined’ it.
“Hm...? What's the matter, my lord? Do you want to ask something or something? Just say, if you feel condolent, consider myself as a Catalyst System that has been accompanying Tuan”, said the Catalyst System in response to Veroa's stuttering speech and seemed hesitant to reveal his heart. So, he tried to help her express it.
“Um... that... does the System have any other name besides the Catalyst System? It's a bit awkward to call you like that” said Veroa, still impressed awkward from the tone of his speech.
“I only know that I am a Catalyst System. That's what's inside its database” says Catalyst System as it is.
“Can I call you by another name?” ask Veroa again.
“Wah! Sir would you give me a name? Very permissible, my lord. In fact, I feel happy to get a name from Tuan”
That is how the conversation between the two went on. From what was initially felt awkward when calling the name of the Catalyst System, continued by naming him and changing the way the two communication became more friendly.
The Catalyst System is now called Aethelfaed which is immediately taken for granted by him, moreover he really likes the name given by Veroa. Veroa also banned Aethelfaed from calling himself ‘Tuan’ as his name only. He felt, it was better.
The second conversation then continued with a serious topic, such as why he was here, in a place where there was no light or footing. In addition, Aethelfaed informed him of his achievements during his time in this world. The first, the achievement he has achieved is “Strategy ingeni”, this achievement was obtained after Veroa several times thinking and doing attacks and escape against enemies that are impossible to win when opposed. From this achievement, Veroa got three random prizes. The three gifts are pieces of understanding about his spirit, katana professionalism, and kendo master: delay effect.
The second achievement, “Capters” obtained after beheading the enemy more than 1000 heads. The prize is only one, which is a magic equipment in the form of a ring, dimension ring (L). Continued with the third achievement notice, which is “Excellent toughness” where this achievement was triggered, because Veroa tried hard to survive even in very painful conditions. The prizes are the kendo master: multi-hit strike, absolute deflection, earrings of sky, and illusionary eyes. The last one, “Precision in hurricane” obtained from the attitude displayed by Veroa at the time of precarious conditions, he remained calm and was able to think clearly. The prize is a chest containing dozens of gold coins.
Of the four achievements he has achieved, there are special effects of each achievement. For the achievement of “Strategy ingeni”, Veroa gained 10% additional intelligence; the achievement of “Beheading”, the accuracy of the attack increased by 25%, especially when slashing the neck, accuracy will increase to 100% which means, 100, no head he can't cut off; achievement “Tremendous toughness” gets 50% additional stamina and 10% additional regeneration of his life energy; achievement of the latter, achievement of the latter, “Precision in storm” has lion’s heart effect which allows the heart to pump normally in any situation and can compensate for the peace of mind.
Veroa heard Aethelfaed's words informing her of his achievements, gifts, and effects feeling that his struggle was paying off. He himself had known that he was currently inside his subconscious.
