I created my own system

Many stories about the blessings spread far and wide during the Age of Heroes, some said they were the past lovers of gods that reincarnated so many times. There are also tales saying they were descendants of the said gods. In the end, no one knows the truth other than the chosen holder of the blessing.

The POV of Agnes

I wonder when did things go wrong. Our kingdom wasn\'t as wealthy as the other kingdoms but our citizens were very satisfied. They can have 3 meals a day and have stable jobs for each able person in their household.

No one is starving and illiterate, because education is free for everyone. We filled their bodies with food while knowledge for their minds. However, everything changed because of that night.

The sky turns dark while the ground becomes red due to blood. For some reason a breakout occurs, something that\'s impossible to happen. Weekly our soldiers would inspect every forest to make sure no magical beast would turn into demons.

But still they came and everything turned upside down. My home my people, my family and everything turned to ashes.

"Agnes! Please darling listen to Daddy...this is not the time to be stubborn okay!"

"I can fight too, please I can fight as well" With tears falling from my eyes, I tried to plea I wanted to be at least useful, I didn\'t want to just stand and watch everyone die.

"You can\'t please you have to be safe...your daddy can\'t risk losing you" My father\'s voice became gentle as if coaxing me to agree.

"BANG!"

The door flung open then a figure drenched in blood appeared.

A pungent scent hits my nose, a combination of the metallic odor with the smell of sweat and dirt.

Then a knight bathed in blood came in, on its hand was a sword covered with blood while its back had a black ragged cape also dyed with blood.

This knight approached me and my father, each step made a rustic armor sound while also leaving a trail of blood.

"CLANG!"

The helmet was recklessly removed revealing a scarlet long hair. Then a pair of purple eyes laid towards me.

"Agnes!"

"Mom!"

The bloody knight was my mother, Larisa Hernandez Santos Von Elysium, a knight and queen who serves our kingdom.

"You must go you can\'t stay here!"

"No, I won\'t!"

I was stubborn I know but it was the only thing I could do to remain where my parents were. I could feel that if I go I won\'t be able to see them again.

I struggled to argue but before I could utter a single word my head went dark and I collapsed from where I was.

.....

Niko\'s Pov

"Niko!"

"My queen I apologize but it\'s the only thing I could do"

I held the princess\'s head afraid that her fall might cause her injuries.

"How did you come here?"

The King questioned so I turned to look at him and answered

"I came through the secret door, my king"

"Well then take my daughter I already contacted the emperor he should arrive at the agreed location by now"

"But my king why don\'t you ask the emperor to come here instead, it shouldn\'t take him too much time to come"

The King did not answer instead he looked at the girl in my arms, his eyes softened as if he was seeing the love of his life, and then he shifted his gaze at me turning hard and determined.

"The emperor is currently busy and will not be available until midnight so you must take her now!"

I felt my body tremble and the hairs on my body stood. A command is finally given, as a vassal of the Goddess of time I must obey her descendants\' wishes.

"I will do what you command my king"

I lifted Agnes and ventured into the path of the castle as I did so the walls vibrated due to the ongoing battle.

"Hang in there I\'ll get you out of here"

My movements didn\'t falter despite running for quite some time.

I am a vassal I shall never get tired. I vowed to myself and as I did so my body continued moving.

The end of the passage is nearing, the closer I become the more nervous I am.

"Brother!"

I shouted seeing his steady silhouette.

"Hurry!"

Instead of returning my greeting, he said those words to me before throwing a ring.

"Be safe little bother"

The events happened so fast that I wasn\'t able to comprehend it. As soon as I landed my foot on the magic circle a blinding light blinded me until it took my sight away.

...

In the middle of the continent, a man clad in golden full armour and a red cape calmly walks over a temple. It was a temple no one had seen before except him and the descendants of the five gods.

As he entered the desolate place began to be filled with light making the dead area alive.

"I Augustus Tolentino Von Celestio greet the celestial Gods!"

The flames on the altar ignited signifying that he had woken the Gods.

"Your children are dying and that corrupt monster will once again return, please pay heed to my plea and take away your authority. If you take them away those people from the monastery won\'t be able to do anything"

He kneels and begs to be heard however no one answers his prayer. So the leader of the entire continent kneels even harder trying to gain God\'s sympathy.

But no one answered him

"Please I am begging you they will die"

Never in his entire life did he ever beg anyone but because his friend told him this would be the only way of saving the other descendants, he had no other choice, after all, he was also chosen to harness the power of Gods.

He bowed and stayed the same way for a couple of hours until he finally heard a response. .net

{My hero, my chosen one you mustn\'t have asked something like this}

"It is the only way to avoid more deaths please grant my wish"

{If we were to do that then we must take all the blessings from the other descendants and chosen ones, including yours}

"It doesn\'t matter, my power and empire will remain strong even without the power you granted me"

There was yet another silence after he said those words. The emperor felt nervous thinking he had offended the creator of this world.

{My hero I apologize but the other wielder does not agree with you, they can\'t hand their power away}

"Damn it!"

{But we know what you are worried about, be at ease because we shall help you. The blessings will disappear to the other descendants and chosen ones and will only manifest on their youngest members. This will continue until the threat of the Monastery ends}

A bit of hope washes over the emperor causing him to bow even more deeply.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

{Now run along your friend is currently in danger}

Happiness filled the heart of the ruler as he ran out of the temple.

"What is this!"

However, as he did so the sky which filled with light when he entered turned dark when he came out.

"No this is.. "

In his estimation, he only stayed inside for six hours, but as he looked up he could tell the time due to the stars.

"It is passed midnight"

He came early in the morning but returned at midnight.

"Not good"

He covered himself with Aura and immediately dashed towards a location.

"Damn it! Did you know this? You bastard why didn\'t you tell me the time inside the temple is different from the outside!"

As he dashed he began to lash out his frustrated mind.

"Now I won\'t be able to make it!"

He went on and eventually flew towards the direction of Elysium kingdom, but as he came closer all he saw was burning houses and dead bodies covering the streets.

"NOOO!!"

The kingdom of Elysium was the last God descendant\'s residence that was destroyed, the others were already burned down, and its people ran away and went to hiding.

With still a bit of hope he ran again and went to the castle however what he saw was no better from the outside.

"No..."

He weakly said while walking towards his friend\'s dead body.

"You idiot! I could have protected all of you if let me stay here!"

As he grieved he suddenly remembered their last conversation.

"That\'s right the location"

Just what\'s in there that his friend explicitly said that must go no matter what.
