章節 2: 02 - In The Egg
Chapter 02 - In The Egg
Written By Dr Armstrong
~[Amon POV]~
Our Protagonist woke up in a dazed state, his body felt unfamiliar and unnatural... The lack of any limbs connected to his central torso was also a dead giveaway to his current abnormal state.
The surroundings felt rancid and gooey... It was like he had been submerged inside a surprisingly good-smelling septic tank.
'Shit...What the hell did they do with my body!? Don't tell me this is like that one deleted scene from Alien...' He was horrified at what the Demons planned on doing to his virgin body. He was kind of good-looking, so they might have some strange ideas...
He tried to feel and reach out but was only met with a screen flickering into existence before him.
「Congratulations on reaching Heaven.」
「+100 Karma Points.」
'What...Did I die...!? Fuck...! Well, at least I'm not downunder...' He was quite relieved that he ended up in God's backyard...
No sane person would earnestly want to live in the flaming pits of Hell... Unless that person was an Edgelord, of course.
'Hey, wait a minute...These notifications...Isn't this like a System!?' He spent far too much time on the LitRPG genre of digital literature, so he was rather familiar with the concept of a video game-like System.
'Err...Status?' That word was the most common verbal command for the System Interface...If the System even had an Interface, that is.
Thankfully, it did indeed possess an Interface as another screen suddenly appeared in front of him.
A 2-dimensional golden eye manifested in front of him, it frantically looked around before all of its attention snapped towards him.
'...Hey? I'm sorry, I don't speak One-eyed Monster...' He said as the eye blinked.
—FLASH~!*
The sound typically produced by a camera was heard before the eye abruptly vanished as another panel replaced it.
On the screen, there was an image of what could only be called a floating sphere of blue-coloured light with a pair of feathery wings growing out from the sides. It was like that one annoying Fairy from Zelda, just with avian wings instead of insectoid ones.
Alongside the image was a classical Status screen stolen right from those System novels...

Speed: 8
Magic Energy: 16
Activity: 15
—Talents:
• Soul Peer: The ability to perceive and locate the Souls of the deceased.
• Angel's Heart: Angels are creatures of justice and righteousness. It is very hard for you to falter from your fundamentals. In addition, affinity with positive energies is increased.
• Judge, Jury, Executioner: The Angel race can be considered as all three. It is simply in your nature to judge others and make your own conclusions about them. If those conclusions align with your definition of evil, punishment will follow.
• Ether Body: An Angel's body is much more mystical than biological, their bodies are actually made up of corporeal Holy Light. Food and Drink are not needed since your body is sustained by the ambient Light.

Karma Points: 100
Evaluation: An Angel that has yet to be born, it is better to wait for his eventual birth before making any solid conclusions.

'Angel...!? I'm an actual Angel!?' Furthermore, he was inside an egg...
'Angels lay eggs...? That's... Huh...' It created a rather strange image inside the Angel's mind.
Amon then noticed the distinct buttons at the top of the screen. They glowed a soft hue of gold, so it was quite a difficult task to miss them.
'Beautify...? Create...? Enhance...?' After clicking on the Beautify option, he was taken into another panel, one that seemed rather familiar...
'Hey, isn't this Roy's System!? Wait...Custom Made Archangel...' After remembering the future predicting fanfiction he had read before dying, the Angel naturally came to a conclusion...
He was the Archangel, the Custom Made Archangel!
'It all makes sense now...' It actually didn't, but it was healthier to think it was.
'But this System...It doesn't use Souls...' This actually made quite a bit of sense...After all, it was the Demon race that harboured the Soul Devouring Addiction...
Amon was now a bonafide Angel, and he certainly didn't remember any Angels eating Souls!
'Karma Points...? That sounds rather vague, what even is that...?' He asked nobody in particular, though he did expect the System to answer.
...It didn't.
'Ah, shit...I didn't get one of those actually a Waifu Systems...Seems like this one is just a UI without sentience...' He actually didn't mind that much...It was after all, pretty damn zesty for some random person to monitor you 24/7.
'Guess I'll have to think for myself...Hmm, they're called Karma Points, so they must have something to do with Karma!' No shit, Sherlock.
'If I remember correctly...Unlike Demons who devour Souls, Angels cultivate Holy Energy...' At least, that was what Dark Old Demon-sama said in his novel...
'Roy's System consumed Souls because it was specifically made for Demons...Mine is literally called the Custom Made Archangel, so it must derive its power from Holy Energy...' Amon deduced, basing the name of his System on the fanfiction's title...
'That means Holy Energy must have something to do with Karma...Could it be that Karma Points are gained from "Positive Actions"?' This was his deduction.
He was a Muslim in his previous life, and while the concept of Karma didn't really exist in the Abrahamic faiths...It should pretty much be the same as the Virtue Vs Sin concept, right?
Angels are supposed to be the Paragons of Virtue, so it made a lot of sense if they derive powers from virtuous actions...
'But why did I gain some from just being here...? Is going to Heaven considered a Virtue?' That was rather strange as according to his memories, Demons had to baptist their Souls in the Light of Heaven to become True Demon Lords.
And of course, they were certainly not virtuous...
'There's so much to think about, but let's actually do something...' It wasn't his style to be a thinker, he'd rather go into the action himself.
'Now, what should I even do...Hmm, should I just wait until I hatch or...'
