Chapitre 3: The Harsh Truth And Choice

****

"Alright, I'm ready to transmigrate."

Zepyhra nodded with a playful smile. But the boy raised a hand to question something.

"Yes?" She asked him before his lips parted.

"Just wanted to ask, are these 3 choices given to my sister as well?" He asked.

At his words, her head tilted with confusion.

"Huh? What do you mean?" She questioned back and then he suddenly realized something.

There was no one here besides him.

"Speaking of, where's my sister anyways?" He asked again and this time a frown etched itself on her beautiful features.

"What are you trying to even say?" She tried to understand and finally the boy answered.

"I mean where is my sister? Since I'm transmigrating, she should be here as well right?" He asked and a baffled expression took place on Zephyra's face.

She instantly answered him, making his world crumble.

"Uhh nope, who told you that your sister would transmigrate as well?" She answered in the form of a question and the boy's smile instantly morphed into horror.

When he spoke again, his voice stuttered with fear and horror.

"W-wait w-what do you mean my sister isn't here? I-If I'm transmigrating it must be for a special reason t-that I was selected right?" He asked and the void goddess nodded.

But the next time before he could speak again she already answered his question with a face that was screaming obvious why his sister wasn't transmigrating.

"Just because you are special doesn't mean that your sister is.

For your information, you are selected since you have literally read all of the novel and your sister hasn't read a single page correct?" She asked at the end, hiding the answer to his question in it as well.

At her question, he finally realized it.

He was just too shocked by his death and was unable to think straight at the moment.

The answer was always right in front of him, but he just refused to realize in hopes that his sister would be with him.

But even so, he just couldn't accept this fact.

When his parents had died in a brutal car accident, he had been left to fend off for himself and his sister.

His sister had lost color in her life and had refused to eat anything but slowly and slowly he had helped her recover to the point she was just like before the accident happened.

In the place of her parents, her brother had taken that place.

Now that he had left her as well, he could not imagine what would happen to her once she learned of the fact.

Though she was 16 now and much older than before, she would be left an orphan, left to fend off for herself.

Tears started to trickle down the boy's face at a fast speed as he learned that he would never be able to see his sister again.

He could not even say a goodbye or leave a message to her.

The tears turned into a downpour as the boy kept sobbing along with the remembrance of his sister.

Surprisingly, Zepyhra said nothing and remained silent, giving him time to let all his emotions out.

The boy was only 18 but had lost everyone in his life, it was expected for him to cry.

He cried for hours in the endless expanse before he finally emptied himself out of the raging inferno of feelings within him.

With his rationality finally returning, he knew there was still no choice.

Whether he had lost his sister or not, he would still be only given the choice of death or transmigration.

And though he would much prefer death right now, he knew his sister would want him to live.

Just like he hoped that she would live instead of dying and that she would understand his wish.

With a resolute face and dead eyes, the boy finally stood up to face the beautiful goddess who had been silent for the whole time.

Multiple hours and she had not even complained once and kept silent, giving him time to congest the truth.

Looking at her charming face, the boy nodded and an understanding smile marred her features again.

She gestured towards all of the tables in the expanse and then her succulent lips spoke,

"Alright, as you see right in front of you, you just need to say the name of the item you want and it shall be given to you. Three choices, but if the rank of the item is high, then I'm afraid that you would have to sacrifice a choice. The value of an item is decided by the system screen that should open in front of your eyes right now." She explained.

As her words ended, a system screen opened up in front of the boy simultaneously.

_____________________

The Blessing Of The Void

Please choose 3 things in the expanse and say their name out loud.

The things can be sorted into categories as well, just speak out the proper name.

*The choice value of an item will be decided once you select it*

Looking at the window, the boy nodded.

Rather than choosing straight away, he started to ponder on what would help him later on in the novel.

Since he had a system window, it probably meant that he was the same as the hero of the novel.

Originally in the novel, only the hero was blessed with the system and no one else but this would change now that he would reincarnate.

And the proof that he had a system was the window he saw as soon as he reincarnated which was the same as the hero's.

If he remembered correctly, it was revealed later on in the novel that the system was granted to the MC by the God of Sun, Solaran.

Taking the information into account, he would have to probably say that the Goddess of the Void was probably his counterpart.

Which would further mean that no matter what he picked in this space, he would still end up having less chances in the starting to catch up with the MC.

Looking back at Zephyra, the boy questioned with an indifferent face.

"It says "thing" here in this status screen but can you explain for me what it actually means?"

The goddess tilted her head in question since she had already explained it to him already.

But a smile took place on her face again as she spread out her hands to explain again.

"By "thing" it literally means anything in this whole space, Any living thing, mana art, weapon or equipment etc that exists here can be taken by you. Just think that this whole space is available for you and you can take anything inside it." She explained, this time more thoroughly.

At the words, a smirk planted itself on the boy's face as he confirmed his thinking.

If he could take anything in this whole space then....

There was only one possible way for him in his mind to counter a divine being.

And that was....

"Goddess of the Void, Zephyra" He spoke in a low voice and a ting resounded in his mind making his smirk even wider.

Listening to him calling out again, the goddess looked at him questioningly again.

"Yeah?" She asked him with a bewitching smile and the boy raised his hand with a smile, confirming his choice with the next words.

"I want you."
