章 6: 6: I call it... 'system.'

Emilia came out of a room with small bloodstains on her white noble dress. She had the same innocent smile as before and the guards outside subconsciously backed away.

For the past 2 hours, painful screams emanated from the room and the four children playing in the next room completely ignored it and Asher lit a candle and said a prayer for the walls in his mind.

Emilia walked into another room and a called for Asher through telepathy and in the next minute, he was standing in front of her with a nervous smile.

"Sit. There's nothing to worry about."

"Haha, you say that when there's blood on your clothes." Asher joked.

"What blood?"

Asher looked at his mom's clothes again and the stains were gone.

"Cheater."

"Jokes aside, Asher, how did you do it?" Emilia asked, this time her voice was serious.

"Do what?"

"I'm not joking, Asher. You did the impossible. You touched the concept of souls and spirits that should be impossible. That's why, I'm asking if you know anything."

This time it was Asher's turn to sigh. "I didn't want to tell you till I found more information but there's this red screen floating in front of me showing me some information about myself. I call it... 'system.'"

"Oh~? Tell me more."

Asher began to spill out the information written on the system, breaking the 'transmigators code' completely.

He could imagine some webnovel readers cursing at him if this was a novel.

Emilia sighed and brought out a yellow orb with a green wire connecting it to a small device and a red one that got pierced into his veins.

Blood pumped from the red wire into the orb and in turn, the device in Emilia's hands displayed a few letters.

"Bloodline: Nine Tails Magic Fox

Status: Awakened"

Emilia's eyes widened and she rushed out of the room with a few words.

"Keep playing with your friends, we'll talk later."

———

"Ey! I got you!" Eva shouted as she shifted her queen putting Asher's king in a checkmate.

Eva looked up and saw Asher looking a bit out of it.

"Was it really the right choice...?" He muttered.

"What choice?" Eva asked, a bit confused.

"Ah... No it's nothing."

"I hope you're not trying to make me feel guilty and give you back your money?" Eva spoke with a deadly look.

"Tsk, I'll win it back later. Let's play again. I bet my fruit garden."

"I bet 2 gold coins." Eva smirked.

"Oi, that's cheating! I bet all my assets, bet yours too."

"You can't trick me again!"

"Tsk, someone finally got smarter. Can't it be 10 years from now?"

"You! Wanna fight?!"

"Come at me." Asher smirked.

Arcadia

A man could be seen sitting on a throne in a dark room and half his body was covered by the shadow of the gigantic throne.

He was Zeus. Emperor of the gods and gate-keeper of the realm above. Beside him was an alluring greeen-haired woman; Gaia with red gem-like eyes. She was the mother of the gods and Zeus's wife.

Right now, they were smirking like children that had successfully played a prank on a poor old grandma next door.

"Everything is going as planned." Gaia spoke. "But what are you thinking, sending 7 celestial children to earth and 2 to Matriz and the 2 who escaped found their way to Paradoxia. The celestials are bound to act at this rate and it's going to be a disaster." She shivered as she remembered a dreadful past.

"Don't worry. You know I don't act without a plan. At the end of the day, we'll become celestials ourselves! We'll be unstoppable!"

"Hey don't forget me." A voice called out from the shadows and a familiar man stepped out. It was Zerius; god of systems and reincarnation and also Zeus' twin brother.

"There were meant to he nine edicts so it would be 3 for each of us but we never discussed the 2 new variables and how to share them–"

"Obviously, it'll be for the couple." Gaia retorted.

"Obviously, it'll be for the men." Zerius shot back.

"Jeez, just get a wife. You'll be 300 trillion in 5 years and you're still single."

"You're way older than me! Hag!"

Zeus who had been silent for the whole while finally spoke.

"I have an idea. How about whoever contributes the most to the growth of the 11 children gets to keep the cores."

"You're on!" Gaia and Zerius shouted at the same time.

As Zerius walked away, he had a few thoughts in his mind.

'Asher Von Wight, Cashel Von Wight. Oooh~ I'm gonna make your lives miserable.'

"geeeeAEAAAAHHAAHAHAAAHAHAHGEEEEHAHAHA!"

A strange laughter echoed through the thick walls of the castle.

———

Asher and Eva stood side by side and Cashel and Emira stood in another side. In front of them was Emilia and Bariel under a shady tree wearing beach clothes with some lemonade.

"I've got to know the level of training you'll need so we need to do some tests." Emilia started.

"Starting with the brutes, do as many pull-ups as you can with that tree till you faint and the mages, read this entire book, ink by ink. I'll be asking questions." Emilia casually dished out the totur– training schedules and she joined Bariel under the tree like they were on a vacation.

"Hey, hey, Eva. We're seriously not reading this right?" Asher asked, still in disbelief as he stared lifelessly at the enormous book at his feet.

"I guess we are!" Eva answered, a bit more enthusiastic.

2 painfu– pleasurable hours later

Veins were going across Asher's forehead like roots from a plant and Eva wasn't any better.

The first five minutes they'd started reading the book, it was all fine but there was this constant nagging feeling at the back of their eyes but they could shrug it off.

10 minutes later, the feeling started to weigh on them and there was an headache. 30 minutes — They had an heavy migraine and their eyes were bloodshot like they were on drugs.

1 hour later — tears were streaming from their eyes and they decided to quit but Emilia wouldn't let them off so easily.

2 hours later, Eva passed out, veins were threatening to burst from her head. Asher was the same with blood spilling out of his eyes.

Cashel and Emira's elbows and forearms had turned a dark purple and all the feeling in them were gone.

"Is it really okay to treat them like this. They may be so overpowered but they're still four to five years old."

"Heh~ I still have some more ideas in mind."
