Chapter 3: Chapter 3 - What lies in the past
[Love n' Death, help me analyze their stats.]
(Sure.)
(Lord Necromancer, Tropal)
(Race: Undead)
(Stats: STR: 300, AGI: 700, INT: 1300, DEF: 290)
[The other one.]
(Coming right up.)
(Orc Chief, Arukural)
(Race: Orc)
(Stats: STR: 1299, AGI: 600, INT: 0, DEF: 1000)
[What!?]
(Problem?)
[What absurdity is this? Even with the 3% regained stats, I cannot kill them.]
(Don't worry, you're a grandmaster, you have a passive.)
[I do?]
(You didn't know?)
[You didn't tell me.]
(Well, just take a look at it.)
(Grandmaster passive: Presence)
(Description: A rank that no one has ever reached, no one, not even in the whole history of The Sole Races have reached Grandmaster, until one person becomes one, destroying the prophecy.)
(Uses: The Presence will attack the enemies mentality dealing 100% true damage.)
[Woah... I didn't expected this.]
(Right.)
[Alright, take me back into reality.]
(Sure.)
Love n' Death system transported Lix's consciousness back into reality.
Felk panicked and suddenly let a voice out.
"Lix, am I going to die?!"
The scream alerted Tropal and Arukural promping them to check around the classroom."
"Tropal, heard that scream?"
"Indeed, we shall halt our rivalry for now and focus on finding that scream."
"Damn, if only not for the restriction by coming into this lowly planet, I could have detected the screams within an instant."
"Save your breath, Arukural, it's better to start finding than blabbering."
"Don't order me around, "Bone" (Referring to Lord Tropal)."
As Tropal and Arukural wanders around the classroom, Lix is ready to confess to Veil.
Veil looks at Lix and signals a dismayed face.
"Lix, what's our next move?"
"Veil..."
"What?"
Felk interrupted them
"LIX! WE'RE GOING TO DIE!"
Veil approaches Felk and comforts him.
"Calm down, Felk. Lix, if we do not make a move sooner, you, me and Felk are going to get caught soon."
"Alright, I already have a plan."
"Great! What is it?"
"Veil... uhhh, the thing is that you see..."
"Get to the point already."
"You see... I like you since the beginning of the class, but I can't bring myself to express since I'm afraid you'll think otherwise."
"W-what are you saying? At a time like this? Really?"
"Veil, I just wanted to tell you that I love you."
"T-t-this... A-alright! Arghhh! I love you too, okay?"
"Then..."
"Yeah, I can't express myself because of the same reason."
"Glad to know your feelings."
"Yeah... I guess, we die by confessing our feelings, not knowing each others thought until now."
Lix was saddened by Veil's sad face.
"Don't worry, your confession and my feelings are just what I need to save us."
"W-what? Are you out of your mind? There's no way my confession will power you up."
"It does. It's the power of your love and mine."
Veil flustered at Lix's words.
"D-don't think that I'll agree on being your girlfriend though..."
"Did I even say I want you to be my girlfriend."
"N-no... But... Then..."
"Not a girlfriend, Veil, I want you to be my wife."
"W-wife!?! We're not even that close yet!"
Veil smacks Lix's face.
"W-well, I guess we could start out by being a boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Y-yeah, let's just take it slow."
Felk interrupted them again.
"Guys, I celebrate you on being a couple but what is the use of that when we're going to die!"
Lix patted Felk's back
"Don't worry, I'll resolve it."
Lix left the cabinet.
Felk looked at Veil
"Veil... Do you think Lix will be okay?"
"I guess... I felt something similar to him after all... Something nostalgic."
"You didn't even met before Lix until now."
"Y-yeah, I guess, I'm just wrong."
Lix opened the cabinet and shows himself in front of Tropal and Arukural.
Lix smiled and bowed down.
"Hello, gentlemen, I would like to ask you what are you doing on this humble classroom."
{I've got to keep the mysterious aura within me, that way they'll be wary of me.}
Arukural stepped up and faced Lix.
"Who's this little chick? A human? I thought they already left for another world."
Lix looked at Arukural with a happy face maintaining his mysterious identity.
"Now, now, I don't advice you to call me human little orc, otherwise this will be the end of you."
Arukural is angered by Lix.
"Heh... A human dared to call me "little"? This is the first time I've ever gotten such insult. You're interesting, how about a duel with me?"
"I'm afraid you wouldn't last long, little orc."
"HAHAHAHA! Such arrogance, listen here little human, I'll rip your faces before you even know."
"Why don't you try?"
Arukural launches his large hand at Lix aiming for his face but he was suddenly stopped by Tropal.
"STOP! Chief Arukural, I believe you didn't notice since you have no mana but he's a hero."
Arukural stopped and sweated, Tropal continued explaining Lix's power to Arukural.
"This guy is a weak hero but since humans are not restricted on this world's law, he is currently stronger than us."
"A hero, huh? This will be interesting, have a duel with me hero!"
Arukural throw a punch at Lix but Lix keeps his smiling face and catches Arukural's punch.
"Now, now, isn't it a little impolite to throw a punch when meeting someone?
Arukural sweats and retreats.
"This guy..."
Tropal intervened and stares at Lix
"Young hero, may I ask for your name?"
Lix stared back at Tropal with confident eyes.
"Lix, that's my name."
"Lix?! Impossible! Pardon me young man, but have you heard of the tales of the strongest hero?"
Lix stopped for a bit and thinks.
{This guy... He knows about the strongest hero which is my past life.}
Lix then answers.
"I did not heard of that name at all."
Tropal still looked suspicious of Lix but retreats for now.
"I thank you, Lix. I hope what you said isn't a lie."
"I would never."
"That's good, young Lix, we'll be retreating for now. We can't handle such a hero like you."
Lix stared at Tropal with murderous eyes
"Oh? You're free to go but should your hurt someone around me, you're dead."
"..."
"I'll keep that in mind."
And with that Tropal and Arukural's force left.
Arukural then questions Tropal about his decisions.
"Hey Bone, why did you left that young kid alive, we could have killed him if we teamed up. He is too dangerous to be left alive."
"Oh? Aren't you a prideful race? Why did you ask for our help?"
Arukural stares at Tropal's eyes with rage.
"Bone, don't forget that the "Overlord" told us that if things go south, then we've got to team up."
"I'm aware of that, I was just kidding. But that kid... Is not ordinary."
"Then why did you left him alive?"
"Because, I sense someone powerful protecting him. Not a human but probably an entity beyond our understanding."
"Is that entity a match for the "Overlord"?"
"With my life on the line, I'll speak the truth. That entity might even kill the Overlord with a blink."
"..."
"Such entity exist?"
"I'm afraid it does."
"Are we going to report this to the Chief?"
"I'm afraid such human cannot be allowed to grow further, we shall report to the Chief upon arrival."
Back to the classroom...
Lix told Felk and Veil to come out.
"Veil, Felk, you can come out now."
Felk then smiles with happiness.
"Thank God... Lix, how did you even manage to do that?"
Lix stopped the reality for a little while to talk to Love n' Death
"Love n' Death, is it alright to tell them about your existence?"
[Not yet, otherwise consequences will occur.]
"I see..."
Lix then returns to reality.
"Felk... I'm afraid I can't tell you now."
"I see... No need to sweat it. No matter where you get that power I know you'll use it for good."
"Thanks."
Lix then hugs Veil
"Veil... Thanks."
Veil flustered and shy
"W-what are you doing? What do you mean thanks, I did not do anything though."
"You are the reason I'll fight."
Veil then smacks Lix out of embarassment.
"Y-you... Smooth Talker!"
"Ow... But really, Veil, I love you."
"I-I know that alright!"
Felk then interrupted the two.
"Heh... What a lovely new couple. Alright, Lix, I'll go check on my family. I'll leave the both of you."
"Sure, have a safe journey, Felk."
"Thanks."
Felk then left, leaving Lix and Veil behind.
Lix then calls Veil.
"Veil, don't you want to go to your family?"
"I... I think they're gone."
"Who knows, they might not accepted the system's grace."
Veil angrily replied to Lix.
"They have!"
"What... made you think so?"
"T-they..."
Lix then hugs Veil
"It's alright if you don't want to."
Veil then hugs Lix back.
"I-I wanted to stay together with you."
"We just became a couple a few hours ago though?"
"M-my family treated me as a tool for their well being, they built me as a bank investing their time and money into me and then withdrawing it out of me when I'm done stacking the interest."
"That... must have been hard for you."
"Lix... What about your family?"
"I'm sure they've accepted it, since I can't feel their energy."
"I see..."
Veil then grabs on Lix's arm.
"Lix, please let me stay with you."
"May I ask why?"
"It's because I-I love you, okay!?"
"Why are you angry?"
"It's because I'm not used to this feeling! Alright! So don't tease me!"
"Veil... I have something to tell you about."
"W-what is it?"
"We were lovers in our past life."
Veil and Lix stopped for a moment.
"You still believe in that? There's no such thing as past life."
"There is..."
Veil looks at Lix's serious eyes.
"Well, there's a lot of thing happening today, then I guess it may be true. Alright, we've got to got now, staying here will probably attract more of those monsters."
Lix grabbed Veil's hands and kissed her.
"H-hey! What are you doing? Kissing me without permission! That's assault!"
"Sorry forgive me, Veil. But will you marry me?"
"W-what? All of a sudden."
"I will show you our past life, and to do that I must marry my past lover in this life."
"Well, if it's that then, alright, I'll marry you."
"You believed me that easy?"
"Why would you lie to me?"
Lix smiled and kneeled.
"Veil, will you marry me?"
Veil shouted in embarassment
"Yes! I will!"
Lix and Veil then kissed each other.
Veil then gets embarassed.
"T-that's how a kiss taste, huh?"
"Yeah..."
Without even talking to each other, they kissed again.
"Lix... I love you, please do not leave me by any means."
"Veil... I also love you, I will never leave you by any means."
Love n' Death then appears out of nowhere and interferes with them.
[Hello, did I interrupt your moment?]
Veil is surprised.
"L-Lix, that is... a system?"
"Wait... Veil, you can see it?"
"Yes."
"Hey, Love n' Death, I thought you'll never reveal yourself to anyone else."
[Well, I did said that I will only reveal myself to you, but that girl is a part of you now. That means a part of yourself is within her. Thus, she can see me.]
Lix then looked at Veil.
"Uh... Veil this is Love n' Death, the one who gave me the powers necessary to fend those monsters and Love n' Death this is Veil, my wife."
[I know already, punk.]
Veil then interrupted the both of them.
"Excuse me, but Lix, is Love n' Death also the one who told you about your past memories."
"Actually yes, how did you know?"
"I don't know, but memories from your point of view are flooding into me."
Lix then asked Love n' Death.
"Love n' Death, what's happening to her?"
[That's natural, since the two of you are now one. You will eventually share memories.]
"I see..."
[Anyways, the reward for this mission is 10% of the original character's stats and the original character's past and memories. Are you ready to explore the memories of your past?]
"Anytime, right, Veil?"
Veil and Lix then hold hands.
"Yeah."
[Alright, then here we go.]
Lix and Veil then are teleported to a village where they are floating like ghosts.
Veil looks in confusion.
"This is...?"
"Our past."
They then saw a man from a house below them.
Lix was shocked at the man
"That is...!"
