Chapter 3: (Part-1)-Chapter 3: Awakening Ceremony & The 12 Gods Temple
Dragon Continent, southwestern Heavenly Dragon Empire, Water Dragon province.
Sea Dragon City. If one only heard its name, It might sound like a rather astonishing City. In fact, this was merely a single City of Sea Dragon province's Storm Dragon City, the main City of the Water Dragon province's. The reason why it was called Sea Dragon City was that in legend, a hundred years ago the first Sea Dragon was born from there. This was also the eternal pride of the Sea Dragon City.
Outside the Sea Dragon City was, without exception, a vast expanse of beautiful blue water, surrounding the whole city. The city was located in the middle of Water Dragon province, and while it wasn't considered a major city, the border of another empire was, after all, very close, and naturally, merchants of both great empires traded there. Consequently, Sea Dragon city flourished and the lives of the commoners and Nobles alike in and around the city are better than elsewhere.
Barely at daybreak, in the distant past, the sky was a pale grey dawn color, shining Its beautiful lights on a sleeping Arthur through the window, no doubt going to wake him up in a few seconds or minutes.
--
*Ding!-Dong!-Ding!-Dong!-Ding!-Dong!*
' Bloody hell.' I groaned, feeling the sky's light gleaming on me and a loud ass bell ringing throughout my ears.
' That's one hell of a wake-up call.' Getting off my big sister's bed I sighed, knowing she is either In the kitchen eating or outside practicing.
" Ah? I didn't have to wake you up."... Or y'know In front of me, about to open the door and wake me up. Yeah, that works too...
" Thank the sky and that damnd bell for that." I groaned again making my way Into the kitchen, where my cute little twin sister is cooking breakfast for us.
" Breakfast is ready Big Sis- Oh! You're up early~" Blinking her beautiful blue eyes In astonishment, Alice smiled ear-to-ear at me:" Good you're up. Today is the Awakening Ceremony~ Where we will be tested by the 12 Gods and given a Spirit~"
" *Yawn!* You... sound happy." I yawned out still very much tired... Bed I already miss you!
" Yes, she does. Unlike someone we know." Making my bed-hair worse somehow, Artoria slightly smiled.
" I wonder who that is~" Whistling Innocently, I dug in the best breakfast I have tasted before crossing over," Oh~ I love Alice's cooking~" One might say, I can't live without now.
" Ignoring him: Alice are you ready for today?" Finding a hair comb somewhere, Artoria started straightening my hair soft and fluffy hair. And yet, try as she might, my hair would not stay straight for the life of her, staying as it was before, looking both fluffy and soft, with some pieces of hair standing up and others just flowing down by my eyes and ears.
" Mhm~ Yes I am~!" Nodding both joyous and cheerfully, Alice answered as she handed Artoria her sixth plate and sat by me with her plate.
" Good. Just like I was when I first went." Artoria confessed, smiling slightly.
" Is going to be difficult?" Alice then asked simply, sipping some cold water.
" No. All they do is bring you to the 12 Gods Temple and let the Gods bring out your true soul In a vast black-stone room by yourself." She replied, done with her food like me.
" Sounds easy." I retorted with a sleepy and bored expression, matching my voice.
" It is. So don't cause any trouble for them, Little Art." Artoria's calm and caring big sister voice made Its way Into my ears.
" ~'Kay'~" In the most nonchalant manner possible, I responded back, smiling feeling more myself than yesterday.
"..." Shaking her head, Artoria's pale golden eyes flashed, knowing I don't care about any of this. This is another good thing about "my" new life, as the old Arthur was much like me. Hell, he's a perfect clone of me, If I do might add. Having the same thoughts and ideas on stuff I do too, and retaining the same personality as mine.
An always sleepy and bored person, whose only Interest is beautiful women and money, even though he's only 12 years old.

" 12... 12 bells. Gods...that is way too many at this time of day." I grumbled and groaned In pain, feeling my migraine come back at full force.
" Don't worry bro, I'll make you feel better~" Hearing Alice's sooting angel-like voice, my migraine suddenly stopped hurting.
" Huh..." I hummed letting Alice caressing and stroking my hair and head In a way that I myself now love.
" Really Arthur?"
" What? I am In no way, shape or form able to say no to this beautiful Angel that came down from the heavens for me." I said, at Artoria's comment.
" Well, sorry not sorry, but we have to go." Pulling me away from the greatest creation created by Gods, is my big sister.
"... Y'know, I always love you," I said making puppy dog eyes to her, hoping she'll let me stay.
" Love you too, let's go." Kissing my forehead and putting on a black overcoat on both of us, Artoria smiled and pulled me out of our... Mansion?!
' Well, shit... My new family is loaded.'
As I looked around, I found myself and Alice being pulled by Artoria through a blue liquidity magic-looking Gate.
*Shoosh!*
With a gust of wind flying past me, we found ourselves In surrounded by towering green trees and purple skies.
" Big Sister, where are we?" Alice asked, looking with lifefull eyes and a great smile on her cute face.
" The Awakening Realm."
" How did we get here?" I asked as a rainbow colorful butterfly landed on my shoulder.
" Using this." Showing her hand, a finger-sized rainbow-colored Diamond appeared and glowed a few times.
" And this is?"
" A Realm shifter." She said simply, still pulling us along with her passing by trees and more trees.
' Realm Shifter?' I question myself, finding the term very Familiar. So basically In a dumb-dumb way: This Saint quartz-looking thing lets whoever using It, shift to another Realm they are personal connected to. And being 12 this year, I and Alice have a really strong connection with this Realm...
" How can you come with us then?" As if reading my mind, Alice asked a very important question.
" You two helped. Being connected to here, I basically hijacked it using Mana and followed here with you two." She answered In a very Teacher-like way.
' And they the system says a typical Isekai World... This world is a not a typical Isekai World!' I groaned to my so-helpful System.
[ *Ping!*: The System thanks you~]
' And It's Shameless as well... Great...'
