บท 2: Chapter 2: What happened.
(A year ago in space near Earth)
"These angels... they're nothing like what we dealt with inside the Lucifer Tower. They're so powerful that even Lucifer and Bhatmelec can't handle more than a dozen of them," Rozan said as he rode Alpha which had become half the size of Nidhoggr.
"Is this really the world where you live, boss? No wonder that you're so strong. All these beings are on par with all of us, and yet we haven't seen the one who said to be creating those angels," Gunnar looked at Mykel who was fascinated and in awe when he saw hundreds of angels descending from space.
"Just focus on dealing with them. Their numbers are unknown and it seems there will be a whole army coming toward us," Mykel answered and saw dot-like stars in the distance space that moved at the speed of light coming toward them.
They all fought with everything they got, and yet neither the angels nor Mykel's army were injured. Both armies had instant regeneration, the angels got it from their God's will, and Mykel's army from the system's help. Fortunately, Mykel, Jeanne, Aurea, Lucifer, Luciel, Bhatmelec, and Elena could kill them instantly so that the angels couldn't regenerate or form themselves back.
The seven of them turned the tide that made the angels overwhelmed by Mykel's power and presence. But, the angels didn't show any fear and kept fighting with everything they got. More and more angels came down from heaven to fight them until every last one of them failed to stop Mykel's army.
"What a fierce enemy we have..." Lucifer said as he looked at his own sword covered in silver. "Now is the fina-" Lucifer stopped in the middle of his sentence and blankly stared at the space.
Mykel and the others looked at Lucifer with confused looks, but then Lucifer's face slowly deformed and reformed itself. They were surprised when Lucifer's face no longer looked like Mykel's and his long hair turned black that covered his face. His six white feathered wings turned dark gray with ashes coming down from the gap of each feather.

Mykel was shocked when he looked at the notifications that were flooding in front of his eyes. He was so confused as to what had happened and why suddenly all the Demon Kings and specifically Lilith were removed from the system. Not just them, but all the Gods and the Constellations were removed from the system.
[Due to synchronizing, all of the characters in the story that exist on Earth have become independent and come back to their true nature]
"(You're telling me that all the characters I created from real mythologies have become real individuals and no longer characters of my story?)" Mykel asked the system and looked at all the names on the notifications. "(Does that mean they're no longer our allies?)"
[Correct. All the mentioned characters have become real entities and are no longer characters and are not affected by the system because they do exist in this world]
"(Try to bind them with the system at all costs)" Mykel said and he looked a bit restless.
[Due to the system still loading and processing the newly discovered world to prevent problems, the system will be unavailable for such a request. The system will start looking for solutions as soon as the system finishes loading]
"(How long will it takes?)" Mykel asked after he read the notification.
[Due to various reasons, the time needed for the system to take control over this world is approximately two years. With that being said, the Owner cannot use the System in the meantime]
Mykel was surprised, but he didn't let it bother him and hoped the system would find a solution. He then looked at Lucifer, Hera, Nyx, and the others who were around him. They were all acting weird and it made Jeanne and the others confused as to what had happened to them.
"Ignore them and just focus on Lucifer," Mykel said as he spread his wings and flew toward Lucifer. "(This would be bad if he changed sides. I need to deal with him first)" Mykel thought to himself.
Before Mykel could grab Lucifer's shoulder, a loud trumpet sounded and disintegrated his wings. He felt powerless as if he was drowning in the sea and couldn't move his body at all. He didn't know what had happened to him, but he saw a blinding light that appeared from space and the notification in front of his face.
[WARNING!]
[THE SYSTEM IS BEING BREACHED BY EXTERNAL FORCE. THE SYSTEM IS TAKING ACTION TO PREVENT THE EXTERNAL FORCE FROM TAKING OVER OR DESTROYING THE SYSTEM]
...
...
...
[THE SYSTEM HAS DECIDED TO SHUT DOWN TEMPORARILY FOR THE SYSTEM'S SAFETY]
A giant golden gate as big as the solar system appeared from thin air far in the distance and it slowly opened. Two angels came out of it and they were the biggest he had ever seen which stunned him.
"Mykel!" Jeanne screamed and caught Mykel who floated in space. "What happened?! Are you alright?!" Jeanne looked at Mykel with a worried expression.
Mykel was thinking about it, and when he wanted to recover from whatever happened to him, he realized his [Admin] skill was grayed out. He couldn't use it, and then he remembered that the system became unavailable because it was trying to bind everything and everyone with the system. He started to feel suffocated and his body became weak so he couldn't do anything about it.
"Bring me down. Bring me down to earth, now," Mykel said as he tried to hold his breath.
Jeanne didn't ask any further and flew down to earth before Mykel lost all his power. He believed it wasn't because of the System, but something else that made him like that. He thought if there was God, then his maker was the one who turned him back into a normal human being.
Elena and the others watched as Jeanne carried Mykel in her arms as she flew back down to earth with confused looks. Elena who could hear and understand Mykel's thoughts and feelings, felt enraged and looked at Lucifer, Michael, and Gabriel.
"I'll take the lead, follow me," Elena said as she clenched her fists and her whole body started to glow bright.
Suddenly, she lost her power and felt weak. Not only her, but everyone also lost their powers. They were all confused by what had happened, and before they could think, a giant blackhole appeared right behind them and sucked them inside. Mykel was being carried by Jeanne also got sucked into the black hole and they couldn't do anything about it.
(Back to present)
"That's what happened, so we can only wait and get ourselves stronger right now," Mykel explained as he stood on top of a gargoyle's dead body and pulled the knife from the gargoyle's neck.
"So we are on our own. But at least the demons are afraid of us thanks to our system that made them fear us," Aurea stared at the corpses of the incubus and succubus that she killed.
"If the Lord that Lucifer mentioned is really able to recreate the system and make it his, he should be able to change that soon. We should use this opportunity and abuse it," Mykel explained as he jumped down and looked at his new status window in front of him. "Let's keep moving and clean all the demons in the city," Mykel continued.
All of them nodded their heads and followed Mykel from behind.
"Mykel, are we going to clear this?" Jeanne asked.
"Maybe. Maybe not," Mykel answered as he looked at Jeanne over his shoulder with a smile. "I don't like when someone told me what to do even if it's the God who created me," Mykel continued.
บท 3: Chapter 3: Messenger.
"(Status)" Mykel said as he held a bottle of beer and sat at the counter in a dark empty bar with Elena and Lyneth next to him.

"I brought the gas and filled the generator, boss," Gunnar said as he entered the bar with Rozan and the others.
Mykel turned around and turned on the TV to check what was happening in the world at the moment. He was tortured in hell for a year and four months to be exact, and he wanted to see how the people were doing after the demons came and attacked Earth.
They all sat down at the tables behind Mykel and watched him change the channel to see the news. After Mykel changed the channel to the news channel, they immediately heard about Awakeners trying to take back the cities that had been occupied by demons.
They were so curious that they all decided to stand behind Mykel and stared at the news with serious expressions. The US lost more than half of the continent, and they had to move to the six states which were Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Dakota.
"The President of the United States of America, Richard Green has finally approved the existence of guilds and giving them privileges. The rights and privileges are as shown behind me," The woman newscaster said as she looked at the huge monitor behind her with the list of privileges of guilds. "So far, there are four guilds that will be registered and will introduce themselves to the public,"
"Guilds... how nostalgic," Lyneth said as she watched the news with a glass of whiskey on her bottom lip.
Mykel looked at the list of the guilds' names that were shown on the screen. Goldmane, Conquerors, Oath, and Silver Cross. A year had passed since the game began, and the guild masters of those mentioned guilds were all still level 30.
"We just got back here a week ago, but these guys..." Rozan paused as he grabbed a bottle of beer from the fridge. "Aren't they a bit too weak?" Rozan asked as he looked at Gunnar and the others on the other side of the counter.
"No... we don't know that. The system has changed, and who knows what's happening out there since we know nothing much about this new system. We were imprisoned for a year, and the system changed after we got captured," Jeanne answered as she kept watching the news.
"Speaking of the new system? Do you have some thought about it, Mykel?" Bhatmelec asked as she looked at Mykel.
Mykel shook his head, "It was nothing like mine, and there's a similarity in how we gain the skills. This new system also has basic information about our body which is enough to tell whoever made this wants us to help others and take care of ourselves. Other than that, I have nothing else to say." "One thing that you guys need to understand is that we aren't safe with this system, just how I used it to destroy someone's life and took everything for granted," Mykel warned and drank his beer.
Everyone looked at each other and realized that their fates were in someone's hands, just like how Mykel did that benefit their lives, but this time they were in danger. Mykel already explained that their powers belonged to his system, and without it, they couldn't get their powers back until the system came back.
"You don't have to be afraid. As long as we do what was told, the Lord won't do anything to us," Mykel said as he sighed and put down the empty bottle. "Get some rest, we are going to hunt early in the morning because we are running out of time," Mykel continued as he stood up and walked away.
Jeanne, Aurea, and Elena looked at each other since they wanted to know who would go and talk with Mykel privately.
"Let him be, just go to sleep, all of you," Lyneth said as she looked at them.
The three of them nodded and decided to go upstairs to sleep with the others.
The next morning, Elena was the first one to wake up, and then she went downstairs to grab water to drink. When she looked outside the window, she saw Mykel on his own smoking his cigarette. She went outside with two bottles of water and gave one to Mykel.
"You're outside all night, father?" Elena asked with her eyebrows raised.
"Yes, I was thinking about what happened to Beldathiel and the others. They must be so confused and in trouble because they lose their powers as well," Mykel answered as he nodded his head and opened the bottle. "Also, I have thought about you and the others," Mykel continued as he flicked the butt of the cigarette.
"About me?" Elena asked with her arms crossed.
"Yes, I have thought about what I should do if things went south. I want you to remember that from everyone that we have here, I can only entrust everything to you," Mykel said with a serious expression.
Elena stared Mykel in the eye for quite a while, thinking about what he meant by that. Before she could open her mouth, suddenly Jeanne came out with the others. They were ready to hunt down the remaining demons that were still lurking in the city.
Mykel was on his own while the others were paired and created four teams to explore the remaining areas that they hadn't explored and checked. On his way into the dark tunnel where the entrance to the sewer was, he felt like someone was watching him.
He ignored it and went inside into the darkness where he heard screeches and giggles from inside the tunnel. He started to hunt the demons who were still afraid of him which was enough to tell that the demons belonged to his system instead of the new system.
[You have leveled up!]
[Your Strength has increased by 2]
[Your Agility has increased by 1]
[Your Dexterity has increased by 1]
[Your Vitality has increased by 1]
Mykel wiped the sweat off his forehead as he drank a bottle of water inside the sewer. His level rose by 3 and that was better than he expected since it was the first time he had hunted demons on his own.
"Mykel? Are you there?" Lyneth's voice could be heard in the distance.
Mykel glanced to his left and heard footsteps coming toward him. He decided to wait to see Lyneth coming out of the corner while at the same time thinking about why Lyneth suddenly came to see him.
When he saw Lyneth come out of the corner, he was surprised and confused to see her come on her own. She was smiling at him when she saw him, and then she stood next to him with an apple in her hand.
"Have you eaten? I brought you this," Lyneth said as she showed the big apple in her left hand.
Mykel looked at Lyneth's hand and when he was about to grab the apple with his left hand, he immediately cut off Lyneth's hand. Lyneth screamed in pain and she looked terrified as she walked back and held her wrist. Mykel on the other hand, stared blankly at her and didn't show any expression.
"You're still acting even though it's so obvious that a human's blood is red while yours is black," Mykel said. "Second of all, Lyneth won't dare to walk in here on her own because she's a scaredy cat. Cut the act and reveal yourself," Mykel continued.
Lyneth's scream turned into a giggle as her hand slowly regenerated and transformed into a womanly figure with a black robe that covered her slender body and the upper half of her face. Mykel was wondering because of all the demons he had encountered, they were all scared of him, but this one wasn't. He thought that the demon in front of him wasn't from his system.
"I'm not a demon, Mykel Alester," The woman said with a huge grin on her face. Mykel furrowed his eyebrows and looked at her with confusion. "I'm just a messenger, from one of the Gods," she continued as she tilted her head and stared Mykel in the eye.
"Messenger?" Mykel asked.
"Yes, she feels... betrayed," The woman giggled. "And this is just a warning because she's going after you," she continued as she slowly walked back.
"Betrayed? Who are you talking about?" Mykel asked again.
"Goddess of Nightmare..." The woman answered and disappeared as the black mist swallowed her.
