Chapter 0
At Kite’s last moments, there was many who cried and beg for him to stay. He was happy that they are there and sad that he has to leave them. Still, he didn’t regret dying for them. That was his last thoughts as he closes his eyes.
Kite's soul wandered through the void, he stirred and refused to wake up just like when they tried to wake him up but then he hears a noise. He thought it was just his imagination but then he suddenly opens his eyes realizing that he was already dead and floating naked? No wait he's not naked no, he's practically a soul...umm but still naked?
A naked soul in the dark huh, well that's weird, isn't he supposed to be gone? What is happening here?

After a series of machine-like voice stating the words above, Kite hears a mechanical but child-like voice. He turned around or try to, or did he turned around?
This place is dark and there's no sense of direction so he didn't know if he move or that glowing ball of fluff, that appeared out of nowhere, move. His fingertips shook.
System: I'm The Worlds Saving System! Nice to meet you, Host!
Kite was bewildered and not answered the voice, it seems cheerful and cute, in appearance, however this is seriously weird, although he likes cute, adorable things and want to reached out and touch it, but this didn't make sense alright? Did he read too much novels for him to doubt that this might be... He can't say it, it's too much for him.
‘What was that in my head right now? Is this a dream or something? Did I read too much novels?'
I just has to repeat it, it's important. The glowing ball of fluff talked again, with it's child-like voice in his head.
System: Host, I'm The Worlds Saving System! I will explain to you your role as my host.
The System said as he circles him and he's confused as to why he has this so-called System in his head.
“What’s happening? What system? I'm clearly dead. Please let me rest, seriously...I don’t want to work anymore, okay? “Kite exasperatedly said and wish for it to leave him alone. The glowing ball of fluff or the System shooked and brushed it's body to his face. Kite blanked.
The system knew the host's weakness and used it for it's advantage. It continued and ignored his questions.
System: As the Host of WS System, you are obliged or to say work hard to save the worlds meaning you need to stop the world from being destroyed by the villains—
The System began to explain like a spoiled child needing some attention, it strucked him when he hears the word ’work’.
'I don’t want work, okay!? ‘’ Kite wants to have a lazy life with no work, please.
The System sounds like it was about to cry when it answered, System: Host, Don't get angry...
'I'm dead. Why are you in my head?' He lowered his tone and asked softly, he didn't know why but he felt find of this glowing ball of fluff, is it because it's cute?
The System felt that it's Host was too cute and kind, he will work hard to help the Host in the future, he answered.
System: Host, after you died, this system is yours to have also, if you manage to complete all the missions and save all the worlds. You can have one wish!
Kite was dumbfounded at the System said but then, he didn’t necessarily want or wishes for something since if he want it, he’ll get it himself.
'.... Is that so? Well it can't be helped if you got stucked to me...' He said almost tiredly from all he heard from the System. It's with an automatic 'transfer to Kite' function, what can he do?
System: ... Host.... you’re so kind...
System felt moved and said as drops of water fell on it's eyes? Wait where's the eyes?
Kite sighed and rolled his eyes against its 'compliment', 'Well? What should I call you?'
System: Host, you can call me--
'I'll just call you, Wes then.' Kite interrupted the System before it can finish its sentence. The system, now called Wes feels betrayed…
System: Host...
'Hmph, after snatching away my right to die peacefully, you’re complaining?' He said and was about to continue when he remembers what Wes was saying before.
'Anyway, continue what you’re saying earlier, if I need to do something, I want it done fast.'
System: Yes, Host
The System looked down and thought, I'm being bullied by Host TT^TT'
System: As the Host of WS System, you are oblique to save the worlds meaning you need to stop the world from being destroyed by the villains--
The System or Wes explains again but he removed the word work as his Host doesnt like that particular word.
'If there are villains, there must be the leads right? Why do I need to save the world if they are there?' Kite asks curiously when he heard the word villain.
System: Host, the leads in these worlds has failed to save the worlds many times that we have trouble in saving them!
The System complained about how weak the protagonists in those worlds are and so on till Kite interrupted his speech and got the main point, 'You find someone to save those worlds because the protagonists are weaklings.'
Wes bounced and glowed, he looks happy, That's right! Host, you’re so smart!
‘So, in short it's like this.... Save The Worlds equals in Saving The Villains in The Worlds. Right? 'Kite asked the system and Wes shooked. The hairs of the fluff got bristled like it was shocked.
System: Whoa Host, I've never think of that!
The System looks like it was about to be a devout follower and worship him with sparkling eyes. Kite sighed and just nodded his, 'Yeah Yeah. First, let me rest.'
Wes repeatedly nodded his eyes like an obedient kid. After a while, Kite woke up from his sleep and turned to Wes who materializes as a glowing ball of fluff.
'Alright, I understand now. Let's go.'
System: Yes! Let's go save the worlds, Host!
Wes said energetically and a stream of light greeted Kite as he prepares to sleep on the way.
In Kite’s last life, he achieved what he wanted, did what he like and lives how he wanted completely. Well it's not bad to waste time from saving worlds.
Let's start!
Arc 01: Adopted Younger Brother is After Me
Complete: 10 Chapters + 1 Extra (1.10)
System: Here's the Main Task and the world's basic information, Host
Kite opened his eyes only to be bombarded by this world's information. He closes his eyes from the sudden pain because of overload information.
"Ugh..."
[ Main Task:

(2) Prevent the Villain from destroying the World
Rewards: 1000
Information: The worldis..#@destroy___$plot@&€£^€>.... accurate..
Please stop the Villain from destroying the Protagonist's fate and save the World. ]
[ This... A bug? ] I asked Wes when I saw the information tab. Wes also saw that the panel is slightly twitching.
System: This.. I will report it to the Main System.
Kite nodded and decided to look into the World's background first.
[ This world is called Okaz, it has similarities to my previous world, this world has different races. You will know the race of a person by their color, the color of their eyes or hair. The world's races are coexisting since ancient times and the people living are hybrids of the previous pure races.
It seems that Okaz's development is the same as Earth.
It's a unique world, just what kind of plot is in this world? Let's see... ]
The protagonist of this world is a son of a prestigious family, the youngest. As one of the most influential families in the country as they have the blood of an ancient race, Angeli. Angeli is an ancient race that has platinum blonde hair and blue ocean eyes. They are pure, kind and proud creatures, has a power of healing and is gentle however they have a normal body compared to the strong werewolves and may considered weak and has pure white wings.
Riel lived happily, has a complete family and has many friends but all went wrong when his father announced that he has an illegitimate child, named Mikael, when he was 7 years old, making his mother so shocked and pained that she got heart attack and died while his father mourned and locked his self in despair, making Riel hate the boy at a young age. The boy was of the same age, skinny also he looks filthy with his muddy gray ripped shirt and black hair completely unlike his blonde one and his red eyed that looks so ugly. This looks, proves that they are not related, makes Riel hates him more so he bullied him, humiliated him. Riel was blackened from losing his mother and father for neglecting him as he was drowning in sorrow, knowing that his family is not perfect and from all the hate he had, he blamed it all on Mikael, the illegitimate child. After 3 years of making the boy suffer, he planned to get rid of Mikael from his family and succeeded.
After 12 years, Riel was successful in his life. His dad however was assassinated; he mourned but persevered as he still had his older brother, his only family left. His brother Louis had been comatose ever since he was five; Louis saved him from being hit by a car. Louis is 5 years older than him, until now he's still comatose, his brother is now his only hope and only family. In this time, Riel meets his childhood sweetheart and fall in love with her, they experience all hardships a protagonist should face and win it all. But before they even got happy ending in being married, they find themselves destroyed all suddenly. Riel's business got bankrupt; his big brother died, chased by some assassins and lost their child. Until death, they don't know what killed them.
Kite makes a strange face and he felt his lips twitching, he sighed at the cliche plot this World has, but he has one question.
[ What is this? Isn't the protagonists supposed to win the world? The protagonist doesn't look like he's a weakling. In the first place, how does an Angeli got blackened? ]
System: Host, this is what I'm telling you also according to the Main System, there's a bug in this World. I will update the Main Task.
[ Main Task:
(1) Save The Villain
(2) Prevent the Villain from destroying the World
(3) Find the bug
Rewards: 1500
Information: The worldis..#@destroy___$plot@&€£^€>.... accurate..
Please stop the Villain from destroying the Protagonist's fate and save the World. ]
[ I just have to find it? ] Kite asked and thought of all the novels he has read where the protagonist has to find and solve all the problems on his own.
System: Yes, Host. We will handle it after you find it.
[ Hmm... You guys are quite responsible huh ] Kite said while looking at Wes who was glowing proudly and circled him happily. His voice filled with joy.
System: Of course, Host! Our service is impeccable!
[ You sound so proud huh. If you guys were really good then there shouldn't have a bug, you know? ] Kite said, bursting the confidence of the proud system. The ball of fluff stop glowing and droop down but immediately recovers.
System: *cries* Yes... Fighting, Host! *cheers* I will cheer for you here! Go! Go! Fight!
[You recover fast. ] He said looking blankly at the virtual confetti the System throw for him.
Kite sighed ruefully at his own misfortune for accepting this system and opened his eyes; he looked at his surroundings and noticed that his body seemed to be in a rather bad condition. Kite can hear the beep of the machine as he try to get his self sit on the headboard and remove the oxygen mask. He felt weak.
He closed his eyes to rest as he sighed. I might be...
[ Wes, this... ]
System: Host! That's right!
The System answered immediately without letting Kite finish his sentence. He sighed and opened his eyes, only to see his 'family' opening the door loudly with panic expressions, only to be shocked seeing him sitting in the bed. The first to react is his supposed to be little brother in this World.
"Big Brother!"
Looks like he was the Protagonist's brother, Louis Angelis.
"Big Brother!" He was hugged by a blonde little boy, the little looked so adorable especially for Kite who loves kids so much.
"Hey...*cough*cough* " Louis’s voice sounds weird when he tried to talk and ended up coughing because of sleeping for two whole years.
"You’re awake! You’re awake!" Little Riel shouted, crying and smiling at the same time while hugging him tightly.
"Here's some water, Young Master. " An old man quickly gave me a glass of water. After accepting and drinking it, I saw him wiping his tears and smile when he caught me looking at him. He must be the butler and right hand man of the body's father, Jon Sikalis. A half Human and Angeli.
Louis turned to his little brother who's hugging him and weakly pinched his cheeks. He laugh and snuggled me like a puppy.
[ Waa...So cute ] Thought of a certain someone who's melting from cuteness.
"Yes Yes"
"Louis...I'm glad...” Louis hears a gentle voice full of relief and happiness as he looked at the older woman who called him, his mother or more precisely Louis's Mother. Although she's supposed to be 600 years old, she looks like she's in twenties. Their race aged slower and lived longer just like the Elves.
"Mom..." He smiled at her softly while raising his other arm towards her, she cried and hugged me. Father just hugged us quietly and pats my head gently.
"It's a happy occasion, we're glad that you're okay. "Father's voice cracked when he said the last words and cried. Louis laughs and hugged them back and his eyes dimmed when he thought of how this family will end. It's weird but he might have inherited Louis's love for his family. He frowned and asked Wes.
[ Wes, is this normal? Is Louis still in this body? ]
When Wes heard his question, he trembled and secretly looked at his Host and felt relieved that it didn't notice it's action just now.
System: No, Host. It must be the original body's wish.. It's a side task, Host. I'll send it to you. Hehe, I forgot about it tehee~
[Side Task: Happy Ending for Louis and his Family
Points: 100
Failure: -100 ]
Kite's lips twitch and sighed giving up. It's useless, this system.
System: So you want to accept it, Host? It's a side task so it's okay to reject it.
[ I'll accept it. In exchange of using your body, I'll accomplish your wish and save them. ]
Save them, you...
Louis heard a soft voice and felt his body lighter. [ It seems that he's gone completely. Don't worry, I will save you. It's my job, after all. ]
" Master, Madame, Young Master Louis needs to rest first. Let's call the doctor, yes? " Jon reminded the three cry babies holding Louis and smiled wryly.
" Ah, yes. Louis, rest for now, okay? " Louis nodded and smiled at his mother.
[ Louis seems to be loved here. It's suspicious why an Angeli who has healing ability never woke up from an accident. It seems there's something we don't know of. ]
System: Umm, I already gave the plot, Host. Could it be a plot hole!?
[ It must be, ah I expected it from you though. ]
System: Host... TT^TT
"*Sniff* Uuhhh..." Louis snap out of his thoughts when Little Riel hugged him tighter.
"Stop crying already... “He helplessly said while comforting the cry baby in his arms.
"I'll go call the doctor, " Father said and took his phone to make a call.
"Call Sir. Ben, Louis woke up. " Father announced happily and walk out the room.
Louis smiled at his Father's silly look and looked at Riel and his mom.
Louis in the story was a gentle little boy, smart and kind to everyone. Everyone loves him but because of the accident he was comatose.
[ The plot doesn't mention what kind of accident it was for an Angeli to get this hurt. ] He thought for a while and face them.
"I'm glad I'm awake, now I can take care of you, Mom... Riel... "He said softly while looking at them.
"Big Brother, this time I'll protect you! “Little Riel said, his little fist cutely pump his chest.
He just chuckled and patted him in the head.
"En." [ How could someone be this cute? Ahh cuteness is the best. ] Louis was grinning foolishly in his thought.
Mom dried her tears and kisses him on his forehead before dragging Riel out because he still have to rest and wait for the doctor.
The doctor came immediately after he woke up just a while ago, he checked him and all. The doctor is an elf, he specializes in treating different races.
"Mr. and Mrs. Angelis, I'm glad that Young Master Louis wakes up. He will be fine after a few months rest. Don't tire him too much and get a good meal and rest. I'll come back next month to check on Young Master Louis again. Well then." He bowed and said goodbye. The doctor will probably make medicine for him to drink.
Louis waved him goodbye with a smile and the doctor smiled back.
Father patted his head and tells him to rest. He nodded and rest properly since he really felt weak and tired. While looking at the ceiling, he remembered the villain and somehow felt sad for him. Although this mission needs so much energy and will probably make work, he wants to stop the destruction of this world. He narrowed his eyes as he thought of this, he was not the kind of person who saves so why did he thought of that? Well, he have so much free time before so he must have save some people to resolve boredom? That's probably the reason why he was automatically accepted by the system.
Contemplating like this for an hour, his eyes closes as his body can't last without sleeping. It doesn't matter, since I felt like this, I should do what I like. Decided, he finally fell to sleep.
*** (1.1)
After 3 months, he can walk but still needed his wheelchair because he is still in rehabilitation; after all he’s been comatose for 2 whole years.
As he was rolling his wheelchair to the living room, he heard father's voice. If listening properly, It was trembling. The speaker was clearly nervous.
"Lana, Riel. I want you to meet someone."He said forcing to smile and pat the little boys head beside him.
[ What a way to congratulate me waking up. It must be today right? ] Kite said as he remembered the plot. Wes nodded.
System: Yes, Host.
[ My target. ] Louis looked on curiously and found his mom and Riel who just from the garden, standing in front of Father in the doorway.
"What it is, Dad? “Riel asked curiously after running from the garden to here when he heard his Father's voice.
Mom just looks at Father, curiously as well.
[ Hmm... I can't stop this part huh? Will Mom die? Then...I just have to stop it. ] He thought and smirked.
In this part of the plot, the reason why Riel's mother died is heart attack, it's different for an Angeli to get a heart attack since for the Angeli race, their heart is the source of their power and an integral part of their existence. Riel's mother gets too stimulated from his Father's news and added to the fact that she also received a severe injury in her heart when she's younger took her life.
Father breathe deeply before saying to them, "I...I have a another son, he--- "
"Mom? “Louis butt in before Father finished his sentence. He looked at her as she pat her chest and look at Louis. Pain and Betrayal are showed in her eyes, he smiled at her softly and come close to her to hold her hand.
"Calm down, Mom." Louis said then looked at Riel who looked at Father angrily. Riel obviously didn't expect his father to cheat on his mom.
"Come here, Riel.” He said and stretched his other hand to little Riel as he quickly hugged him. He patted him and Mom.
He sighed inside, [ This mother and child are so the same. ]
"Continue, Father.” He said to Father coldly. He flinched at his tone but the man deserves it, to scare Mother too much to cause her to die but I hope that Father explain things clearly and not like this. He just makes it more tense, how could mother take that?
[ Seriously, this idiot of a Father. ]
"He's the same age as Riel, I swear. That time, I made a mistake and... listen to me Lana. " He immediately explained to mom. Mom looked at him angrily and walks away clearly not intending to listen, Father followed her after leaving the three of them looking at their back.
I smiled wryly at Father's crying face, [ I hope he would phrase it better so we won't misunderstand. ] He just shook his head at his stupid Father and sighs.
He looked at the boy who is his little brother now looking at the floor with dull empty eyes. He has black hair, dirty clothes, although looks old there are bruises on his arms and legs and Louis is sure he has more.
[ He is too skinny... ]
Louis unconsciously frowned.
[ According to the colors, he must be a Devin. Black hair and red eyes are the traits of a Devin, their race are rare even in the ancient times. They are strong, cruel and intelligent, only gentle to their beloveds. I just don't know how Father, a pure Angeli got a child like him? That's practically impossible right? The race's trait is not compatible. ]
He turned to Riel and whispered to him, "Go and play somewhere, okay? "
Riel narrowed his eyes happily like a puppy, it looks like he decided to ignore the little boy that Father brought. He chuckled, shaking his head and told the maid at the side to send him to the garden. Riel pouted and followed, he still has something to do there. Before leaving he shot the boy a glare.
Without anyone here but the two of them, Louis beckoned the boy closer. The boy didn't seem to notice as he was busy looking down.
"Come here." He said gently and stretched his hand to him. The boy looks up and stare at Louis's hand then at him like he just saw something really weird, He smiled at him and call out, "Come on...”
The boy slowly walks to him cautiously. He gripped his already ripped clothes and approached him.
Louis grabbed him immediately when he's in his reach, He saw his dull empty red eyes widen and closed tightly as if waiting for something. Looking afraid, shaking and especially sad.
[ Why is he sad? It must be because of all the abuse he experienced, it must hurt right? How could they hurt a small child like this? ] He thought sadly. He hugged him, despite the dirt and smell. He laughed inside. As expected, kids are supposed to be soft and chubby. I have to fatten him up and raised him into a fine handsome man.
[ He's so cute. How could anyone hurt him? He's really so skinny, I have to fatten him up. ] Louis thought as he poke the boy's cheeks. The boy turned stiff at his embrace and didn't respond to his poking.
"What's your name? " He asked as he patted the boys head softly.
He let him sit in his lap and look at the boy closely, "I'm Louis. Your Big Brother. Call me Big Brother, alright? " He happily explained to him. Louis saw him looking at him dumbly. He laughed and brushed the boys locks to the side.
"There, you got such beautiful eyes. Just like rubies, so pretty. " Seeing his red eyes, Louis thought of the sunset.
He's still staring at him; Louis just smiled and called a maid to come in. It seems she was quite shocked when she saw that the boy who was suspected as an illegitimate child of Father was in Louis's lap.
"Send us to my room. " When he said that, the boy got stiff again, shaking. He hugged him gently.
"Don't worry, I won’t hurt you. I'll take care of you from now on. "He whispered to his ears as he felt him tugging his shirt tightly.
"Prepare a bath.”
"Yes, Young Master Louis." She bowed and sends them to Louis's room, prepared a bath and was about to let the boy down but the boy does not want to let go.
[ What is this little cutie? ] Louis thought while screaming at the cuteness of this cute bun.
Louis chuckled and told the maids to get out, "I'll take a bath, so let go for now okay? " After he said that the boy reluctantly let go.
He slowly tried to stand up and managed to balanced his self then holds the cute bun's little hand as he guide the boy to the bathroom.
When they enter the bath, Louis throw all the boys dirty clothes and washed him thoroughly and get a small shirt in his closet since the boy still doesn't have clothes of his own.
"You’re so cute, "He said when he saw the boy on his shirt, Louis pinched the boys soft cheeks and laugh at him looking so lost.
"You still haven't said your name.”He said pouting and look at the boy's red eyes which isn't as dull as before, still staring.
"I... “Louis eyes widen, quite shocked and then smiled; he's really cute even his voice is cute too.
The boy looks up at him with a glint in his eyes but it disappeared quickly that Louis didn't notice it. The System sweat drop because he caught it. Wes was really worried for his Host.
System: Host! Be careful, alright? Hey
But Louis was so focused at the cute bundle in his arms that he didn't hear the Systems warning. He just noticed that the boys red eyes have a little light in them as it takes him in.
[ So pretty ] He thought as he smiled foolishly.
System: Host, your foolish self is coming out...
"My name... name.. is..Mikael..."
He smiled even brightly at Mikael and suddenly felt the world spinning as he narrowed his eyes from the pain. He tried to stabilize his self but failed.
Louis saw Kael looking at him and a small face distorting from fear when he saw him falling and tried to catch him.
"Louis...Louis..."Kaels worried voice sounds so cute as well, He smiled at him before surrendering to the darkness. The last thing he remembered is the warm embrace as Kael keeps calling him.
[ Yes, in this world. This adorable little boy will destroy the world in the future... ]
In the original story, when Riel and his lover died. Mikael was there, he watched as they were chased by the assassins he ordered to kill them. His red eyes held the same dull and empty glow. After that, he destroyed everything, he hates the world. All he suffered, he will make the world pay for what it did to him. He is now the most powerful and no one can take him down. Anything that he hates, he'll break it slowly...
"I told you! Let go of my Big Brother! It's your fault that Big Brother fainted! " Louis stirred when he heard Riel's voice as he felt small hands tightly clinging on him, refusing to let go.
[ Ah I've overwork myself. ] He thought the he heard Wes's voice full of relief in his head. He saw a ball of fluff dashing to his head and stayed there.
System: Host! You’re awake!
[ I forgot that this body just recovered from coma. I got too excited because there's so many cuties here. *Sigh* I must restrain myself. ] While Louis mind was wandering off and decided to restrain his love for cuteness, everything that is cute. Little Riel and Mikael are fighting over him.
“Let go of him! ” He opened his eyes and looked at his side and saw Riel peeling Mikael off of him while Mikael just holds on tightly.
”Riel,…Don’t hurt Mikael too much... " He weakly said and patted Riel’s hair softly.
"Big Brother! "Little Riels eyes shined when he saw Louis opened his eyes but pouted immediately and complained, " It’s his fault that you fainted then he clings to you! You’re my Big Brother! Not his!" He complained in tears.
He nodded, "Yes Yes, You’re both my cute little brothers, alright? "He patted Mikael’s hair too when his hold loosened when he agreed to what Riel said though it tighten immediately when Louis patted him and hides his face in his neck.
Riel cried when he heard Louis answer," Brother doesn't want me anymore! Waaaahhh!! "
Louis sighed when Little Riel cried louder, Louis just smiled wryly when he, too, clings to him on the other side. He just hugged him, helpless from his spoiled but adorable antics.
[ Ahh is this heaven? I'm surrounded by cute little buns to my left and right... hehehe..] Again, Louis mind wanders as he savored this time. Louis immediately feels guilty as he comforts them to stop crying.
[ I should not be tempted. I'm a strong person! I can.. take this much.. at least..] As Louis's resolved grew weaker as time goes by. Riel stopped crying after Louis coaxed him for a while.
*** (1.2)
Louis asked him looking around, "Where’s Mom and Father? “
Little Riel sniffed, “They said... Honeymoon? Dad carried Mom off to somewhere and Butler Jon saw you fainted. I was so worried!”
So they made up, that's fast. He looked at Riel who was still glaring at Mikael then noticed him looking and smiled at him
[ This child is so moody, just a little ago he cries then nag his brother next well its cute still. ] Thought of the kid lover as nodded at Little Riels words, then he thought of his parents, [ I think, Mikael is not really Father's child. Why does Father insist that Mikael is his, I wonder. *sigh They must be making little siblings soon, those two. Though in the plot, Riel didn't have any younger siblings.]
Then he should focused the two kids in front of him, [ Now, what should I do with these two? ]
Little Riel keeps glaring at Mikael for snatching his brother away while Mikael just quietly hugged Louis.
“You two, don’t fight okay? This isn't Mikael’s fault, Riel. So don’t be angry at him alright? "Louis said to them especially at Riel.
“Hmph! "
[ Ah he snobs me, this kid seriously ] Louis said in his mind as he looked at Little Riel.…
"Riel. "He called him with a stern voice, Little Riel wavers and looks down, sad then nodded.
”Pinky swear? "Louis asked as he makes sure that Little Riel won’t bully Little Kael.
“A-Alright Pinky Swear..."He said though he seems to hesitate, Louis immediately grabbed the opportunity when he agreed.
“Now, say sorry to Mikael for being rude.”
“Sorry, Kael "Louis smiled at him and patted his head.
"Very good. "When he said that, Little Riel beamed happily and waved goodbye because it’s already time to sleep. After all he knows that Louis will nag him to go to bed at this time.
"Goodnight, Riel. "He said to him, he nodded and kiss him goodnight too. As he thought, Riel is such an adorable child.
[ Ah I forgot Kael. ] Louis suddenly remembered Mikael and looks at his arms only to see him sleeping so peacefully. He chuckled and tucked them both to bed. He tightly clings to his clothes though.
He sighed, [ they are both good kids. ]
Louis patted his head and kissed him goodnight as he closes his eyes.
Louis didn't’t notice the ruby eyes to open and watch him with a glint in its eyes.
"Goodnight... "As Kael gently whispered to the sleeping boy while continuing to hugged him.
He was orphaned, left and all alone ever since he was aware of his situation. He was three when her mother sells him and four when he saw the dirty part of the world.
[ Its ugly, ] he thought.
He hated the world since then. Hated his mother, Hated everything even his dirty self. Still he managed to survive the dirty world he hates for three years, in that time he realizes that he wanted to destroy it, the world, everything. There is nothing to be fond of in this kind of world, he thought as his empty eyes swept through everything he sees.
Then someone came to get him, the man said that he is his father, he just looked at him. He just doesn't care anymore, this world and everything in it he hates it, it disgusts him, he want to destroy it so badly but then he saw him.
The boy looked like an angel that he saw in a painting once, his hair looks so soft and close to white and his eyes, Mikael thought that it was the most beautiful eyes that he has ever seen. They were clear and pure, sparkling like the star he saw in the night sky and his voice sounds so gentle like a lullaby. He was charmed and feels like the world just brightened.
[ What is this? ] He wondered as he looked at the boy, he didn't pay attention to his surroundings he don't care, all he see is him, he seemed to be older than him and even though he is in a wheelchair, it doesn't lessen his noble aura.
[ So pure and beautiful, it exists, ] Mikael exclaimed in his mind.
He immediately looked away when he noticed the boy was looking at him, his heart beats fast. He was nervous, its the first time for Mikael as he closes his eyes tightly.
[ I'm so ugly, ] He berated himself.
[ Don't look at me! So ugly..]
"Come here."His angel said softly as if afraid to scare him away then Mikael saw a soft looking hand stretched to him.
He was bewildered, what is he supposed to do? What if he is like the others? but he felt like this time, its real. Its not fake like what he experienced before, like an angel but it's insides are so ugly.
He saw the angel smiled at him, "Come on.."
Mikael braced himself and slowly walked towards the angel, [ he's so pure, what if I tainted him? ] He thought and stopped but he's already close enough for the angel to grab him.
He widens his eyes because of his shocked and closed it tightly, waiting for the expected pain.
[ it's fake too? Why...] He miserably thought but nothing came, only a warm embrace welcomes him despite his ugliness.
"What's your name? "He hears the angel's soft voice as he asked then he felt the angels soft hands in his dirty hair.
[ H-He wants to know my name! ] Mikael was shocked again, he didn't know what to do. It felt so warm, he can't calm down. He can't think properly, the angel was real. He's a real one!
Mikael was happy for the first time but on the outside he's still expressionless.
He felt himself being sitting in the angels lap, he saw the angels clear eyes look at him closely like it can see through him to see his secrets, his ugliness. He panics but before he can react.
"I'm Louis. You're Big Brother. Call me Big Brother, alright? " The angel happily explained to him. He was again charmed, so the angels name was Louis. It suited him well.' Mikael thought
When he still didn't answer for a minute, Louis laughed as he brushes his hair away from his eyes.
[ Ah I want to hear that again ] Mikael cant help but wish to hear and see him laughed again.
"There, you got such beautiful eyes. Just like rubies, so pretty. "Louis said, again Mikael was bewildered.
[ Did he say, my eyes are pretty. Its so ugly and looks like blood. I hate it but Louis said it was beautiful, like rubies. ] Mikael felt happy inside.
He saw him smiled at him and called someone, its seems to be a maid.
Mikael already forget all about his father and what happened before he met Louis, he don't care about those filthy things anymore. Since today, the moment he met Louis is all that he cared because, he met a real one. A real angel that he read once in a picture book, he didn't believe it after he read it because this world is so ugly, there's no way that there's someone so pure and beautiful out there but still as a child, he hoped about it, only to be disappointed again and again. In the end, he forgets about his only dream, only to be revived by Louis. He swears, he will protect him. Take him away from the ugly world. He won't ever let him get even a glimpse of that filthy world, his Louis deserves the beautiful things.
"Send us to my room. "He got stiff when he hears Louis said that.
[ What? Is it all a ploy to get my heart? It can't be...] Mikael desperately thought then he was hugged in a warm embrace.
"Don't worry, I wont hurt you. I'll take care of you from now on. "Louis whispered to him, he relaxes and grab the angels shirt. Mikael was really thankful that he survived living until this day, this is where I belong. He thought as hugged back.
"Prepare a bath."
"Yes, Young Master Louis."The maid bowed and sends them to Louis's room, prepared a bath and put him down.
[ No! I don't want to let go! ] Mikael complained in his mind
Louis chuckled and told the maids to get out, "I'll take us to bath, so let go for now okay? " Mikael reluctantly let go when he hears his angels request. He wants to be with him, so much, much more.
[ Don't ever want to let go ] He thought as he looked at Louis who is trying to stand up, he was about to help but then he felt Louis hand holding his and his mind flew off. He didn't know what happened next and wake up when Louis let him borrowed his shirt.
[ It smelled divine..] He thought, its confirmed, Mikael was a pervert at a young age.
"You're so cute, "Louis said to him and pinched his cheeks and laughs at him when he caught him staring.
"You still haven't said your name. "
[ He still wants to know my name! ] Mikael was really happy today but his facial expression stays the same.
"I... " He tried to say making Louis look at him shocked and then smiled, Mikael really wants to monopolize that smile, he wish only him can see it.
[ Can I just cage him away? ] He darkly thought, he caught the other smiling foolishly while looking at him while Mikael hides away his dark thoughts he answers his angel.
"I'm Mikael..." He said and was given a bright smile, feeling happy but he noticed that Louis looks so pale compare to before.
[ What's happening to him? Right, he should be in his wheelchair! ] Mikael felt stupid realizing that just now. He was so happy that he forgets about everything.
[ How could he forget about his angels well being!? As he berated himself repeatedly, ] he tried to catch Louis's falling body.
"Louis...Louis..." He repeatedly called, he put Louis's head in his lap. Louis smiled at him before closing his eyes.
That time, he was really scared. Scared that his angel would disappear. He won't like that, he don't want to live like that anymore. Like an empty shell, living for the sake of living. The ugly world, he hates. If Louis disappears, what would he do?
Fortunately, an old man saves him and said that he was fine. Mikael can't stay calm so he hugged Louis to watch him, he will wait for his angel to wake up. He won't let go. Ever.
*** (1.3)
[ I'm falling...
It's dark...
Empty...
Where am I? ]
Louis frowned when he looks around and found that he's not in his room.
[ Did I die again? ] He thought
[ No... I am...] Louis is confused and suddenly he saw someone. He thought it was familiar and his heart throbbed.
[ That person looks so.. sad. ]
[ Who are you? ] He asked but that person didn't hear him and like an illusion, the surrounding disappeared and he open his eyes again only to see the familiar ceiling. He's back to Louis's room.
[ What's that? System? ] Kite asked doubtful of what he saw. Wes appeared in his line of sight and drops of water are falling from it body.
System: Host! Q∆Q You woke up! I forgot to tell you that you can't tire yourself since this body just woke up
Louis tried to get up but found that he can't because there's something hugging him and found Mikael beside him.
Louis stared at Mikael's sleeping face and grin like a fool, "Hehe so cute."He thought out loud.
He slowly get up and take Mikael's arms hug the pillow instead. He then take the help button in his bedside and a maid came in and was about to talk only to be stopped by Louis.
"Shh.."Louis looked into Mikael's direction and the maid nodded. The maid helps him get into the wheel chair. The maids here are all lower Angeli, they served those with pure blood of their race.
"Let him sleep for a while, he must be tired. Right, what time is it?" Louis ask while the maid pushing him beside the table in the room and found that it's already dark outside.
"It's 8:00pm, Young Master."The maid answered, "Madame and Master left a message for Young Master to take care of your body while they are away." The maid suddenly said and I nodded in response.
"The Doctor has prescribed you medicine, I will prepare them now."
"Yes, and please call Butler Jon."Louis looked at the table with books and more books. The maid bowed and go out the room.
Only Mikael's breathing remains in the room. Louis sighs and decide to make plans for the future.
"Ugh... No..."
Hmm? Louis frowned when he heard a groan and looked at his side.
"No! Uuhhh..." Mikael struggled and yelled. Louis was shocked and immediately tried to wake him.
"Mikael..." Louis didn't know what to do when he saw Mikael like this and felt hurt for the boy who has already suffered enough to still be hurting even now.
Mikael dreamed of the dark place he was in before, it was dark, dirty and so ugly. He doesn't like this place. He wants to be with Louis more...
From where he was standing, countless black hands suddenly grabbed his legs and stopped him from getting away. Mikael felt the hand was pulling him deeper and tried to make it let go.
"Don't take me away from Louis." He pleaded while trying to get the hand let go of him, he pulled and scratched but he was still being pulled deeper and deeper.
"Please don't take me... No.. I don't want to go..."Mikael scratched harder and tried to struggle more but there's nothing he can do as he was only being pulled deeper into the darkness. Hopelessness and despair filled his heart as his body is being pulled deeper.
[ This... Is fine..] Mikael thought as his eyes slowly lose the light in them and stopped struggling. He was tired of fighting, it's fine this way.
"Come here. " Suddenly he hears a voice and looked up, there's a faint light there, that makes Mikael's heart fill with hope and woke him up from his despair. His eyes brightens and remember Louis. His angel.
"Call me Big Brother, alright? " Louis who tells him that, hugs him carefully and caress his hateful eyes. Louis who looks at him so gently that he has the urge to cry in his arms and snuggle in his warmth.
"No! Let me go! "He snapped from the despair and desperately tried to escape even if his small hands become bloodied and hurt, he didn't mind and just struggle because he knew, if he didn't escape from this he wouldn't be able to see his angel.
He didn't want to go back to that place. That's why, this time he will do his best to escape because, he also, has someone important and wants to be with all the time.
"Mikael..." That person gave courage and strength, he wants to see him again.
Louis called Mikael's name again and tried to wake him up. When he saw the little bun woke up and looked at him tearfully, his heart softens and carried the baby in his arms to hug him.
"It's alright, I'm here."Louis patted his back softly and Mikael buried his face in his chest and hugs him tighter.
Louis wait for the little bun to calm down and hears a sound coming from the little boy. He look down to see Mikael blushing. He chuckles.
"Hungry? "Asks Louis. Mikael nodded shyly.
A knock sounded from the door and a maid comes in carrying a tray.
"Just right on time. "Louis said after seeing the food beside the medicine bowl.
The maid bowed and said, "Butler said to drink the medicine after eating, Young Master. "
He nodded and the maid takes the tray beside the bed, there's one bowl of medicine and a bowl of porridge, there's also some desserts.
"I'll call you when we're done."He said to the maid, she nodded and left the room.
Louis looked at Mikael and said gently, "Let's eat together?"
Mikael's eyes lit up and nodded happily, a small smile slip through his lips.
[Cute.]
System looked at them and sigh, Host is really weak to cute things..
Louis spoon fed Mikael while Mikael blush and eats with him, after eating Louis has to drink medicine and ate cookie, he also gave some to Mikael which the little boy seems to like very much.
The maid came and take the dishes, "Young Master, Butler said that it is much better to have conversations tomorrow and for you to rest today. The Master and Madame has also called and told us that they were going home in the afternoon tomorrow."
Louis sighs and nodded, he understands that he just woke up so they probably is worried especially after he fainted. The bowed and left.
"Well, it seems that we're going sleep tonight? "Louis said to Mikael and saw him fidgeting and tries to hide the smile in his lips.
"Hmm? You seem happy? Why? " He asked and tease the little boy. Mikael blushes and just snuggled in his arms to hide.
[What is this? He's so cute...] Louis thought hopelessly and they lay facing each other. Louis saw hisself in Mikael's eyes and smiled. He patted his head gently and hummed.
Slowly Mikael's eyes blinks and tried to fight off the sleepiness, Louis chuckles.
"Good night, Mikael." He said and closed his eyes while humming and hug Mikael closer.
Mikael saw him closing his eyes and hearing the humming, only felt warmth and happy that he feels more sleepy. He narrowed his eyes and hug Louis. Before he got surrounded by darkness, his angel is by his side and will always be with him. It's completely safe here so it's fine to sleep. He buried his head in Louis arms and surrendered his self to sleep.
From the window, sunshines on the two small bodies on the bed and woke up the Mikael, he opens his eyes to see Louis's face. He was facing the sunshine and look so soft and warm. Mikael thought that what he's seeing must be a dream as the boy look like an angel and cautiously tried to touch him to see if he's not one of his hallucinations.
[ What is this? Eh is this a dream? It's warm and soft...]
Kite felt something soft touch his face and opens his eyes to see Mikael staring at him blankly. He smiled and hugged the cute little boy, this must be heaven. Kite thought half awake.
System: Host...
The system has to remind Louis about his mission as to not make a mistake of the original body's character. Kite woke up completely and looked at the little boy in his arms, he laugh awkwardly at the system and ignored it. For now, he should pay attention to Mikael, he smiled and greets the little boy.
"Good morning, Mikael."Mikael woke up from his daydream and felt happy, it's not a dream. He really found an angel.
Louis sat up and looked at the sunshine on the window, he looked at Mikael who is still in his arms and stare at him. He realized that he was still hugging him and smiled at the little boy faintly.
Mikael felt him loosening his hug and clung to him. When Louis noticed him, he panicked and let go. He paled and looked down as he clenched his fist. Louis smiled and held his hands together, looked at him in the eyes and told him, "You want to be with Big Brother more?"
Mikael felt his ears hot and nodded shyly. Louis smiled happily and cuddle the cute bun in his arms. Ah, I'm so lucky...
The system suddenly remembered something very veryy important and has to disturb their happy bubble, Wes called his Host.
System: Host, Host
[ What is it? ]
System: I have to manage some things and will leave for a while... but don't worry, Host. As this is the first world, it will be like a tutorial. This is an easy world according to my data. I will still be supervising you and Host can call me if you have something to ask, I will immediately come! That's why, Host...
Wes was worried that his Host would feel lonely at first but looking at his Host who was cuddling and looked relax, he felt relieved and sad. According to his data, his Host has great abilities and system trusts him to complete the missions, system was sad that his Host is so capable, he can't help much.
Kite frowned, [ Are you okay? Is it urgent? ]
Kite felt that the system was not quite right and ask him. The system nodded and reassured it's host. He won't tell Host that he just remembered his work.
System: This will happen every World, Host. As a world saving system, I have to somehow stabilize the world so it won't collapse and find ways to help our Host to accomplish our missions faster.
[ I see, so systems do work hard huh ]
*** (1.4)
System: Systems are like this! We don't just watch and give missions to our Host, we are professionals. Pro!
Kite nodded, [ Yes yes, Wes is a very professional system. ]
System nodded and was satisfied, acting like he didn't just remembered what his work was just a while ago; I will be going, see you later, Host.
System bounced and floated away, disappearing into the ceiling.
Kite see off the system and focused on the little bun.
Louis called the maids and arrange his self to the wheelchair, after that Mikael sat on his lap and snuggled. What a cute baby.
After morning preparations, the maid pushed them to the dining room. The table was already full with foods and his parents that keeps emitting dog food and Riel who was rubbing his eyes in a dazed was already waiting for him.
"Good morning, Big Brother..."Riel said dazedly and yawned, it looks like he just woke up. Father noticed him and looked at Mikael who was in his lap. He invited me to sit, "I have something to tell you, about Mikael."Father said while looking at Mikael.
Father looked at Mother, it seems that they already talked about this. Mother nodded and Father face us.
"The truth is that... although I take that child as my son, he is as you can see, an Devin. His parents and I met before..."Father explained and begins to reminisce.
Austin is a bit timid even coming from an ancient race and family, as a young Angeli, his parents at that time signed him in the military department of Okaz Academy of Races. He can't decline because it's already decided. He felt grief and hopeless for his future. He sighed and accepted his fate.
In there, he didn't expect to have fun and sorrow experience, he didn't regret to have come to this school. He met his comrades and partner, even though he is a Devin, they got along quite well. However, while in a mission they got ambushed. They does and hide desperately, the enemy is too strong. Fortunately, he found a secluded cave, he carried his friends inside and lay them down
Ulan, his partner got severely injured by saving him and his lover, Lima is unconscious. Austin felt hopelessness, his abilities can't heal them as they were both a Devin, their potions are also depleted on the way. For now, he should calm down and give them first aid. Then he will go to find help.
Bandaging his friends, he saw Ulan opens his eyes. He tried to get up and flinched.
"Ulan, don't move for a while.."He supported his friend to sit down and saw him bleeding again, he was about to turned to get another bandage but was stopped by Ulan.
"Wait.."Ulan said while grabbing his arms, he stopped and looked at his friend. He saw his friend's pale face and weak smile. He almost cried, somehow he knew what was going to happen.
Ulan laughed weakly at his friends scrunched face, "You, I... I have something to give to you, it's very important... We.."
Before he finished what he was about to say, he saw Austin's face crying and biting his lips so he won't make a sound. Ulan smiled and looked at his beloved, he felt it. His beloved has passed away and he also... He takes a deep breath and look at his friend. Snot and tears on his face, he looks horrible, combining them with dirt however he has no wounds. He must have felt miserable not being able to save them.
Ulan takes a small necklace from his clothes and gives it to Austin, "This is.. our child.., please take of him for us? "
"Uuhhh...*sniff*"Austin repeatedly nodded and holds the necklace to his chest. Ulan smiled seeing him like this and slowly his hands fell.
Austin cried and cried at the lost of his precious friends. He looks at the necklace on his hands and was about to hide it when an explosion interrupts him. He was blasted away and lost consciousness. When he woke up, he was in the camp. Without his friends bodies and the necklace...
He sat blankly on the bed and thought, he has failed them...
Before, Ulan said to him that they wanted a child and he accompanied them to get a birth stone. For an ancient race, their reproduction is different. They need a birth stone and filled it with the couple's energy and wait for the child to be born, some may take a 100 years before having a child, that's why children are precious for them. For the couple who desired a child, they make sure that the birth stone is safe with them and sometimes disguise them as an accessories. The necklace carried the birth stone of his friends, he has to find it. Austin didn't give up on finding the necklace. Their child, is also considered as his son.
Years passed and he finally got a clue on where the necklace is however when he came, he found out that the child is already born. With his subordinates, they saw a dilapidated building, there's bodies of children inside, some are alive however most of them are already dead. In a secluded corner, he saw a kid that looks like his friend. He breathing stopped because he thought the kid is already gone and immediately run towards the kid when he saw the small chest heaving up and down.
Thank goodness, he thought as he nears the kid but his face darkens at what he saw, he was far away when he saw the boy so he didn't notice his situation. A boy so small, with scars and bruises on his body. With dull red eyes and black hair with mud on them. He was lying lifelessly, it was like Austin saw his friends lifeless body again.
He trembled in anger, how could they do this to a child?
He suppressed it and carefully carried the child, he was so light. The child didn't even move, he's just like a doll without life.
Austin grits his teeth, he will make them pay for what they did to his friends and their child. Whoever they may be. He's not a small soldier who can't protect his friends, it's different now. When he find them, he'll crush them to pieces. He thought as he walked to his car and go home. First, let's give first aid and bandage his wounds..
What he didn't expect was, his timidity came back when faced with his family.
Father finished the story and while holding Mother's hands.
"It's alright, Darling. We'll make them pay, okay? "Mother just said some scary words right there, while ignoring us, Mother hugged Father and kisses his forehead, Father hugged Mother's waist. You guys seriously flirted in front of your children, you lovey-dovey parents!
[ I didn't know this has a hidden plot. ] Kite thought while blankly looking at his flirting parents. He looked at the little boy in his arms who was playing with his hands. He doesn't seem to care about what Father said. It looks like he was more interested in my hands though.
He sighed, Wes said this was an easy world but it feels so complicated. I feel like this is not the only hidden plot. Ah I can see work piling up...
Since then, Riel is not so mean to Mikael anymore and he often invite him to play with him. Mother also makes sweets for us everytime. It seems she took a liking to Mikael as she often squeeze-- hugs him.
Louis was reading Mikael a storybook, a few days ago, he found out that the little boy like books and can read. So right now, they are in the library sprawled in the carpet reading.
While listening to Mikael read, he saw a bright blue eyes peeking at them. The owner of the eyes looked shocked when he found that Louis saw him and hides in the shelves but after a while, peeked again.
Louis laughs amusedly, [ These kids are so cute. ]
He gestures for Riel to come and join them, Riel hesitantly comes out. Carrying a book and called out to Mikael, "This...You.. I..."Stuttering and with red cheeks, Riel felt shy.
"Hello..."Riel whispered, the voice is so small Louis almost didn't hear it. He smiled and looked at Mikael.
Mikael was looking at the blonde boy before him, he looks a lot like Louis but he likes Louis more. He just nodded in response.
Riel grinned at him, he already accept Mikael as his brother but still felt shy about it. He immediately showed the book he was holding, " I saw that you like reading, this one has an interesting story! Later, when you finish reading. Let's play in the garden, I'll let you see my plants! "
Riel, contrary to his attitude and appearance, likes gardening and he's also good at it. Every plant he managed grew well. Mikael who can only show a bit of smile, nodded expressionless at Riel's invitation but his eyes were light..
Louis smiled while looking at them with a gentle and warm gaze, [ This is great, Mikael can improve and they won't hate each other like in the plot. ]
Kite feel like they are enjoying reading and open the system panel, he thought back of Riel's blackening which didn't happen and what could possibly the cause of it. He read the plot again thoroughly and he found some clues.
The kidnapping incident was not mentioned in the plot, how would you kidnapped a child from a very guarded community and escaped without anyone noticing? What did they use? The answer to these questions might be related to the bug.
As Louis was deeply thinking of these questions, the two boys noticed their Big Brother occupied and looking seriously at the floor.
They looked at each other and saw their own confused face. What is Big Brother thinking about?
They sat up and closed the book, "Kael, let's go outside? "Riel said while looking at Louis's worried face and pulled Mikael. Mikael didn't struggle and nodded. While playing together, they talk about Louis and got closer. As a fellow brother who loves their Big Brother, they should work together and care for each other. Just now, they noticed that he might be lonely without them so they will invite him to play with them to make him happy.
"Big Brother! " Louis snapped out of his thought when he heard Riel and turned the wheel chair around to face them. He saw them walking towards him, it seems like he wandered too far from them. He didn't noticed, the kids probably got worried for him.
*** (1.5)
" What is it? "Louis said when they got to him, Riel together with Mikael pushed his wheelchair outside the library.
"Eh, where are we going? " He said while trying to see them. Mikael didn't answer, he's a quiet child, he only answers when they're alone while Riel is busy pushing him, his face red from exhaustion. He was worried the kids would feel tired after this so he tried to make them stop but they already arrived at the garden.
There are many different flowers and plants, in the small corner of their garden, there's a pavilion where a small pond with fishes lives. Inside, a table with 5 chairs are arranged when they wanted to relax and enjoy the fresh air.
"We'll show you something! You wait here, okay! "Riel said while pulling Mikael with him. Louis looked at their disappearing figures and sighed. Cute kids are really energetic. Ah he's a kid now too.
Louis who realizes he was a kid again and despaired at the situation was shocked when he saw many butterflies emerging from bushes from where Riel and Mikael left.
Different color of butterflies flew and surrounded the garden then he saw them coming back, both holding a flower in their small hands. Smiling while running towards him, Riel gave the flower to him. Dumbfounded, he accepted the flower. The flower is a beautiful blue and golden in color, it's almost shining. Then he saw Mikael walking slowly and with red ears coming towards him, he stopped and seems hesitant in the middle. Riel noticed and immediately go pulls Mikael with him.
Mikael with a completely red face handed him a violet, red and black flower. Different from Riel's flower which shines with light, the flower Mikael gave was glowing and beautiful like the sky before dawn.
Holding the two flowers, he looked at them. Holding hands, the two of them with stars in their eyes looked at Louis. He couldn't stop the smile from his lips and the happiness passing through his heart, [ These kids will be lady-killers in the future. ]
"Thank you, Riel, Mikael. "He said as he manually rolled his wheelchair closer and hugged them. Ah he's really lucky to have cute and sweet little brothers.
Father also called the previous doctor over, he conducted examinations to Mikael to see if there's any complications and check if his body if still okay.
"This child, while his body is healthy even after suffering physical pain, a Devin's body is sturdy, those kidnappers didn't do much to him, these are minor injuries for a Devin, it's probably to prevent him from escaping but he probably has mental trauma because of this and might affect his views in the future.."The doctor frowned as he talked to them. He also told them about the possible medicine helpful for bruises.
Mikael is in a separate room from them. Mother and Riel is with him so Father talks to the doctor and Louis insist on going too. When he look at the records of Mikael from the doctor, he felt horrible and sad for Mikael who was still small to experience this.
Louis felt father pat his head, "Don't worry, Mikael will be okay from now on. We're here for him. "He said and Louis nodded. Father is right, they will be Mikael's family from now on, they will definitely protect him. Reassured, Louis looked up and was about to thank him but paused when he saw Father's evil grin looking at the files. He immediately closed the files and excused himself.
"We'll make those bastard's pay for this..."Louis heard his father whispered as he closes the door. He breathe out of relief, that was scary.
***
After a few months, Mikael's health already stabilize however the doctor is still worried of his trauma. He recommended a calming tea for now and will come back when he produces a potion that can help them. Father agreed and thanked the doctor. The doctor shakes his head and said goodbye.
For now, Louis decided to go to their library, he can walk normally now though he can't run around immediately. The Angelis Mansion is so big, it's tiring walking around. He still can't use his abilities normally.
[ I should at least study, they will send us to school soon. I don't know anything aside from the plot and although I have the original's memory. I have to at least refresh what he has studied, properly. ] Kite thought as he brushed his fingers on the books on the shelves.
Louis found a book about the history of this world. He opened it and leaned on the shelves. After reading it for a few hours, it mentioned the different race's hardships and finding this world on the way. The books content, in short was that a thousand years ago, the people of this world -- the human was found by many races coming from different worlds. The different races world was destroyed and they went on a journey to find a new home and encountered the human whose world was peaceful and bountiful. They decided to stay here but found that there are also many races who coveted this place and such war happens. For 20 years, they continued to fight for ownership for this world only to stop because of fear from destroying the world. The poor humans who originally lived here make them signed a treaty, to live in peace and to sealed most of their abilities as to avoid bringing destruction. Then the war ended.
Louis closed the book and looked at the book with suspicions then sighed exasperatedly, [ This absurd plot is so...]
He can't find the right word to define this. In the first place, just where did they come from and how come they found this world at the same time? It's like a storybook, not a history book. He looked around, he suspected that this is not a real history book, maybe the owner is near. He thought.
Louis decided to forget this one and put the book back to its place and find other books to read.
When Louis left, a blonde boy sneakily appeared and take the book of history that Louis was reading before, "I forgot this here, fortunately Big Brother didn't noticed something..." He said and flip the book and open the back. In there, underneath a piece of paper something was written.
Riel's Personally Written, Goal to Become A Writer: The Strongest Race -- Part 3 (Ongoing)
Louis came back to see where the previous book was and saw Riel, he stopped and looked at the kid who was carrying the book and notepad writing furiously. He didn't seem to notice him coming closer and peeked at what he's doing.
He came to a realization and thought wryly, [This kid, aside from his hobby of gardening, he also has a hobby of writing novels? ]
So that's why the content of the book looks like an a part of a martial arts novel. Louis decided to leave and not disturb him. He already found the right books, although in Riel's book there's some part that are similar from the history. Looks like he studied this and included them in his novel. He smiled amusedly and warmly at his little brother's crouching figure.
[ Well, it's his hobby. Let's not disturb him.] After Louis came back from the library, Mikael greeted him with a hug. Since Father let him sleep together with him, the kid was much more cheerful although expressionless.
Mikael narrowed his eyes and looked up at his Big Brother, he is really happy to be always be with him.
Days passed peacefully like this. Laughter filled the Angelis Mansion.
Years passed and they will be going to school soon, although Louis and Riel is few years apart. The truth is that they're twins, just Riel is born a few years late than Louis. This also made their parents worry because they thought he wouldn't be born. After all, they have waited for a 100 years for them.
However, even if technically Louis and Riel is twins, they will be out in different grades because of their age. Before the accident, Louis already started school and stopped because of being hospitalized. Today, they will leave to go to their respective departments. Mikael choose to be in the military department while Riel is in the arts department. Louis has already passed the advancement exam to compensate the years when he was in rehabilitation.
Mikael and Riel is an adult now. Mikael remains the same clingy boy and Riel has a girlfriend now. It seems that the relationship of the leads is right in track with the plot. Riel's previous wife, the female lead. She's quite cute too. Louis looked at them flirting like his parents, his cute little brother is so big now...
He might cry so he just hugged Mikael and Mikael also returned the hug to him happily. Although he's also big, he's still the same has that expressionless face. Though sometimes he smiled which is very cute.
Louis sighs, they're going to separate soon. Riel's department is in another region and although he and Mikael is in the place, their buildings are miles apart. He's going to miss that rowdy kid.
At 18, Mikael with his black hair and his eyes which turned a bit yellowish red looked sexy and aloof while Riel who has this scholarly aura with his blonde hair and blue ocean eyes compete the ethereal look. Louis smiled warmly at them.
Riel saw his Big Brother smiling at them and blocked his eyes because it's too bright, his brother's looks amazing as always, though he sometimes looked expressionless actually he was just in a daze. His brother definitely didn't notice the servants look, especially when he smile like that. He looked at Mikael and hinted at him to better protect their brother from molesters. Mikael nodded faintly at him and relieved, he say goodbye to their parents and hugged them. He turned to Louis and hugged him too.
" Take care, brother. "He said and take his girlfriend's hand to leave. They don't need a vehicle since they can fly. Angeli's abilities are many but most of them are sealed by the treaty, normally they can fly with their white wings but now they can only fly without it because it's too conspicuous. Plus It's a region away they have to cross the sea so it's allowed to use their abilities.
Louis watch them fly away. This time they will be safe, that region is where the Angeli race gathers so the culprit will have a hard time if they plan to do harm on Riel. He looked at Mikael who was also looking at the sky. He will protect Mikael, since the culprit is still not caught and they have no clue on who is the mastermind of the kidnapping incident that time. He won't let him be alone.
*** (1.6)
"Let's go too? "He asked. Mikael nodded and they board a car to the Academy. It will take a few days before they arrive. It's not suggested to use an ability if not needed.
In a desolate region of Okaz, a building was hidden behind the trees. A man was seated beside the window and the light shone on him making him looked gentle and soft. At this moment, the moon his behind the clouds, and the smooth glass windows reflected the man. A long platinum hair lays on his shoulders and his dark blue eyes flutters open.
He seemed to remember something good so he laughed, his voice sounds like a gentle breeze that calms the mind.
"It's so good. " He said.
Looking outside the floor to ceiling window, the man looked arrogantly down at all being and contrary to the gentle smile on his face, his eyes showed madness.
" Looks like it's about time for our little boy to go back? "
On the way to the Academy, they passed by a park and decided to rest there for a while.
Louis and Mikael got down from the car. He found that there is a festival going around the corner, the festive music and many people are celebrating the foundation of the treaty.
" Today is the Foundation if the Treaty! Welcome! " A girl in her twenties greeted them suddenly and gave them flowers. She passed by them and gave everyone on the street flowers.
Looking at the flower which looks like a rose bit colored like the galaxy. He's curious about the origin of this flower but first they have to enjoy this. When they start the class, they will be busy with schoolworks they won't have time to have fun.
Louis looked at Mikael who was also looking at the flower curiously. He noticed that they were several people looking at Mikael and felt proud that his child is so good-looking. Louis didn't notice the doting expression on his face.
Mikael noticed and his eyes stared intently at him, liking the way Louis's eyes brightens and narrowed in a smile when he looked at him. He felt inexplicably warm in his chest but he doesn't know what is it, he blinked and the feeling disappeared before he grasped it.
Louis pulled him to eat and dance together with him, they also saw a store filled with trinkets and souvenirs. He decided to buy something for Mikael as a souvenir.
Louis found a necklace with a sky blue stone, he picked it up and scrutinized it. He noticed that the stone change colors and liked it. He bought it and put it on Mikael's neck. He stepped back and thought, It suits him.
Mikael lightly swept across the necklace. It was cold but nice to the touch.His eyes brightens as he looked at Louis earnestly.
" Thank you.." Mikael hoarsely said. He felt stifled in his chest, he can't describe this feeling. It's not just happiness but something else. He wanted to hug Louis, wanted to taste Louis's slightly puckered lips, he wanted to be more..
Confused, Mikael caress the stone's texture. He can't understand this feeling but it feels good and... hard to endure?
" Glad you like it. " Louis was delighted that Mikael like his gift. He looked at the sky and found that it's almost dark soon, they have to go back to the car or else they will be late for the entrance ceremony.
"Let's go. " He said and hold Mikael's hand. Mikael let him lead him and got to the car.
The next day, they managed to get to the school before the start of the ceremony. They get their uniforms, dormroom keys and class before going to the plaza where the ceremony would be held. They separate ways as they have different departments and bid goodbye to each other.
After the ceremony, the classes started immediately. Louis almost had no time to check on Mikael but they always see each other as Louis's department is managing the healing for the military department. When they saw each other, they would exchange smiles. The day passed like this.
Arriving at his room, Mikael can't stop his lips from curving. He's really happy today. He looked at Louis's gift for him and he narrowed his eyes in happiness. Feeling good, he went straight to bed and thought of Louis. He hold the necklace and fell asleep in no time.
In the dark, Mikael noticed that he came back from the past, he was in a Laboratory with many people surrounding him, giving him unknown medicine and him trying to resist. He watched blankly as he saw his self crying from pain.
After years of suffering from their hands, he was released together with a bunch of kid who was about to die and saw his self being found by Mr. Angelis and brought back in their mansion. After that...
After that, he destroyed the world.
Mikael frowned from pain. He opened his eyes abruptly and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling. He got up, the look in his eyes different from the usual. It look more fierce and dull.
[ Where is this? ] He thought. He observed the room and rubbed his forehead. Some memories are appearing, memories that are different from what he knew. In there, there's no Louis...
He groaned from pain. He hold his head and thought of that person. Louis never appeared in there at all. He curl his red lips and laugh, looking cold and go to the window. It was still dark.
Mikael's change went unnoticed since he never talked and always aloof, he went to class everyday however ever since that day, he never met with Louis.
This made Louis worried that something might have happen to him and so, he visited him after class. He called Mikael and told him that he's going to visit, Mikael agreed to meet up downstairs.
Waiting for Mikael to come, he leaned on the tree. Many students saw him and can't help but take a second look because he look so beautiful under the sunshine that peeks from the leaves of the tree like, he looked ethereal.
When Louis saw Mikael, he smiled and pulled him under the shade. He tilted his head and somehow felt wrong from Mikael.
" Well, you guys are busy? " He asked. Mikael just nodded and slowly remove his arms from Louis's hold. Louis didn't mind and tried to talk to him but the Mikael today didn't respond to him at all, he suspected that something really happened to him. He reached out and tried to touch him but Mikael avoided and stepped to the side.
He blinked. His slowly takes back his hand and looked at Mikael, he looked desolate and indifferent. He frowned.
" Is there something wrong? Did someone bully you? " He worriedly ask and hold his hands. Mikael seemed repulsed by his touch and pushed him away. He looked coldly at him.
"You don't need to baby me, I'm already an adult. "Mikael firmly said to him.
Louis looked at him shocked.
"I-I'm sorry.. I thought.."Louis looked sad as he said this. That's right, the villain is an adult now and don't need him to always care for. He must have felt suffocated because of him. He sighed and smiled wryly.
"I'll go, you take care. "Louis said and left. He didn't notice that when he turns his back to Mikael, the teenager's expression change.
I have to change my attitude, Kite thought as he was walking away, maybe because it's my first world that I'm anxious to save him. After all, I care for him like my brother. He sighs and talked about what he should do with the system.
Mikael watch as Louis got farther away from him and clenched his hands as he suppressed the urge to stop him. His eyes flashed and turned back to normal.
[This can't do, why would I be stopping him? Ridiculous.] He sneered and go back to his room. As he turned back, he can't help but glanced back to where Louis go. He subconsciously bit his lips and didn't notice the pain. The conflicting feelings inside didn't go away even when Louis's figure disappeared.
Coming back from the dormitory of Mikael, Louis sat on his bed and let his body fall down on the bed.
[ Mikael is an adult now and he won't destroy the world so all I have to do is to find the bug and this world is considered finished...] Kite thought while looking at the ceiling, he realized that he will leave this world soon and that it is not his reality. He has indulge in the world too much. Thinking like this, he slowly falls asleep.
Opening his eyes, he realized that he is not in his room and the surroundings is somewhat foggy. He suddenly saw his self, no, Kite saw Louis before the accident. He remembered, in Louis's memory that he didn't manage to get after all this time. Is it.. the time of the accident?
That's right, at that time...
They were in a vacation and his parents suddenly got a call and came back to the capital, leaving them with a bunch of guards. Louis and Riel were playing in the garden and after a while, Louis decided to get snacks for them and left. He felt reassured since there's so many guards to protect his brother.
After getting the snacks, Louis head back to the garden and found that the servants are all unconscious and his little brother is gone.
The tray he's holding fell down and the food and plates smashed, the sound felt loud as the surrounding is so quiet. A faint smell was left, he thought that it must be a new drug for the effect to be effective to the guards and servants and take his brother without a sound. He immediately covered his nose, the effect to him was weak since his body is immune to drugs.
Louis looked around the garden and the surroundings. He noticed a small shrimp toy that he has given to his little brother as a gift and took it.
He's quite far away from their garden now but he must find his little brother or else he will regret it if something happened to him. He heard a sound from behind the bushes. He crouched down and peeked from the leaves.
"We got them."A group of three guys suddenly appeared with two sacks on their back. Louis suspects that one of them might be his little brother..
"Let's go." The other guy said and his accomplice nodded. They enter the van and started the car.
He squeezed the toy and ran towards them, he uses his ability and managed to get ahold of the car and hide in the roof.
[It doesn't matter what will happen to him, he must save his little brother and the other kid. ]Louis thought as he stilled himself to save them.
*** (1.7)
[First, I should contact, Pa and Ma. ] He pressed the small button in the toy and contact his parents. At this time, they should know where they are. However there's not much time, after all Louis is still just a kid and can't do much. If this kidnappers arrive at their headquarters, he's done. That's why, he should do it before they got there.
[They must have been worried, I'm sorry for being impulsive. ] Louis thought and immediately tried to stop the van. He kicked the windows and entered through them, he kicked one of them in the head and the guy's head slammed into the side making a loud noise and fell down unconscious.
" You bastards, how could you take my cute baby brother huh!? " He shouted angrily when he saw his brother is safe, only unconscious. He relaxed.
The kidnappers were shocked but they immediately tried to grabbed him. He ducked and pulls the small knife from the toy and stabbed the guy in his heart.
As a child from one of the famous race, they were equipped and trained to protect themselves when times needed because they have many enemies and their lives are always in danger.
The guy fell down and Louis looked at the last guy who was driving, the guy grits his teeth and steered the van to the cliff which shocks Louis. He immediately reacted and grabbed the two sacks and hugged them.
Louis wanted to smack himself, he should have reacted faster and stop the guy. As he thought of this, the van fell down the cliff.
Louis woke up, he looked at the the ceiling and felt his shirt sweaty. He massage his aching head and thought about the memory. He called the system and a ball of fluff suddenly appeared.
[ Wes, is this related to the bug? ] He asked and think that it is possible because if this kidnapping didn't happen then the world won't be destroyed. The mastermind must have planned this to happen but why use them? Also it seems that he didn't manage to save Mikael, just what happened after that fall?
System: Host, this might be related to the bug. I can't access this part of the plot. It must have a very strong control over this world.
Wes glowed faintly, he found out that there is something wrong with the data of this world. He also found that he can't access the data properly. He's worried that his Host will be facing a strong bug. Thankfully, as long as he found it, he can destroy it and turn the world back to normal.
Kite nodded and looked at the window, it's already morning. He's already late for class. He sat up and found that he didn't manage to change his clothes last night. Remembering Mikael's face, he sighed.
The child is already an adult and hates Big Brother for caring too much.
He stand up and go to the bathroom to wash up and get ready for school, he should leave the child alone for now and focus on finding the bug.
Arriving at the classroom, he was greeted at the door by Unn and Sal and put their arms in his shoulders.
"You guys are heavy. " He said expressionlessly and removing their arms in his shoulders and go to his table. These guys are always annoying him. Although strong, he is really unlucky that these are his teammates. After taking his seat beside the window, he saw them following and grinned, "We miss you, pal! "
"We met yesterday. " He answered not ignoring them and take out his books, getting ready for the class to start and opened his math book. Unfortunately, even if he ignores them, they were also his seatmates. Avoiding is useless. Might as well accept it.
Louis sighed and just focused on the formulas. Unn and Sal pouted and take a seat beside him. Since the first day, they noticed Louis from the crowd and wanted to invite him to be their friends because he looks so soft and easy to talk to, luckily so, the instructor has assigned him in their team. Although he often looks at them, annoyed, he didn't avoid them and this makes them happy.
He and Sal is actually a half brothers, their mother is a human and they had different fathers however they grew up together and naturally treat each other as family. He, is from a descendants of beast tribe, werecats and his brother, Sal is a half human-vampire. The bloodlines of their races only shows when they use their abilities and most of the time they look like an ordinary human.
Unn heard that an Angeli is arrogant but kind and luckily encountered one and so he wanted to confirm it, must be a cat's curiosity?
Sal is probably just happy that he can be friends with someone. It's been ages since someone is willing to talk to them since they are halflings. In this school where they respected those of pure bloodlines, few wanted to talk to them and almost all of them just get close to them to invite them to be their subordinates.
Looking at their blonde friend, he smiled mischievously and immediately faced in front when he noticed the instructor came.
Mikael who was hiding behind the branches in the tree saw all of this and broke the branch he was holding on.
He didn't know why he's here and why he was eavesdropping. He just suddenly wanted to go in a different way to class and just coincidentally came here. Looking at Louis who didn't notice him. He didn't noticed the time and heard the bell rings. Mikael realized that he has already stayed here all afternoon and looked conflicted as he again look at Louis who was preparing to leave with his teammates.
Time passed and he still didn't leave on the tree he was hiding on. Mikael was in deep thoughts and didn't notice someone in his back, he snapped and was about to turn around but felt faint. He saw a man wearing a mask and smelled something sweet before fainting.
After leaving the classroom, Louis felt that he saw Mikael's silhouette from the window and went back to check but didn't see anyone. He tilted his head and thought that he may have seen wrong.
He didn't notice that Mikael was already carried by the man in the van and drove away.
The next day, Louis found a letter in his table. When he read the letter, his face darkens.
[ Dear Louis,
Please come here to get your precious Mikael? Or else we might do something wrong to him. Please come immediately, okay?
From you admirer, Frid. ]
In the back, he saw a map and the location. He stands up, pushed the letter to his pocket and go out of the room. Thankfully, it's break now so he can go out. He go straight to his room.
Unn and Sal saw him hurriedly walking and followed him.
" Did something happened? "Sal asked Unn as they sneakily follow Louis. Unn looked at Louis's worried face and nodded.
Louis was sure that the sender of this letter must be the bug, he's worried that he'd do something to Mikael. As he was almost running, he didn't notice the letter in his pocket to fall.
Unn and Sal saw a paper fall from Louis's pocket and pick it up. Their face sank as they read the letter. They looked at each other and nodded.
This is the only friend they have, they can't possibly lose him. They followed him into the dorm and enter his room. They saw him putting things in a bag. He didn't seem to notice them yet.
"I'll go find him, he wants me. "Louis thought out loud as he take everything he need in his bag and was about to leave when Unn grabbed his arms. He saw him frowning. Wait, why are they here?
When Unn and Sal heard him say that, they got really worried. Louis looks so weak, if he go alone what will happen to him?
"We'll help too, " Unn said and Sal nodded beside him determined to follow him. Louis shakes his head and ignored the fact that the must have followed him here. He saw the letter in Unn's hand and take it. They must have seen the content.
"It's dangerous-- " Unn stopped him before he finished and said.
" You're too weak, we'll help you, alright? " Almost pleading, Unn looked at him frustrated. He wanted to help him.
" We're friends, right? " Sal added. Putting his arms in his shoulders. Louis looked at them and sighed. It's true that he's weak, all he can do is heal and run. He hesitated.
" You guys can come but..."Sal interrupted him this time.
" Yes yes, we won't get hurt. Aside from that, you're here right? "
He sighed, though they are annoying sometimes, they're really reliable at times like this. He found good friends, who will be with him through thick or thin.
He smiled, "Thank you. "
He turned and opened the door, he looked back to see that the twins was petrified and not moving, looking at him wide eyed.
" What? "He asked, confused at their reactions.
Unn covered his face, his ears felt hot and Sal grinned with a slightly red face.
'Louis looked really good when he smile.' They thought as they followed him out.
Outside the Academy, they saw a silhouette walking straight to them and take a fighting stance.
When light hits the man, Louis recognized him and dumbly asked, "You, what are you doing here? "
The man shrugged, " I can't possibly let my brothers to die you know? I can at least fight a bit. Don't stop me, I already talked to Ma and Pa. "
Louis helplessly looked at him, though he already informed their parents and they must have planned something but he didn't expect this. Wouldn't Riel be in danger if he come?
Seeing the concern in his Big Brother's eyes, he shook his head. This Big Brother of his worries for others but not his self. It makes them, who cherished him, really worried.
Their parents already gathered and talked to their subordinates about this. No matter what, they won't let Louis or Mikael in harm and to make sure that Louis won't do something drastic, they made him come.
Riel knew that his brother is someone who's really hard to persuade when he is determined to do something, like that time when he got kidnapped. Without anyone, he just jumped and save him. Not caring for his own safety.
*** (1.8)
He looked at the two people he saw on his brother and saw that they looked at him up and down, eyebrows raised. They were at ease when they saw Louis recognized him and protected him intently without lowering their guard. He nodded to them, satisfied. His brother's teammates at least can protect him.
"Let's go? " He said to his brother and removed the seal on his wings. They already got permission to use their abilities for this mission. Louis nodded as he got no choice, even if he refused. This child will just follow him secretly. It's better for him to be with them than be alone.
Louis looked at Riel who already taken out his white wings and looked at him, he got ready to released the seal on his wings. Kite is really worried, what if the wings malfunction on the way?
Wes was dumbfounded at his Host's thought, what did you think an Angeli's wings are? A machine?
He took a deep breath and felt a little lighter when the seal was removed, he tilted his head and felt something coming out from his back. He tried to flapped his wings and saw feathers floating out and check his wings. It's really white and looks soft. He touched it and it tickled him. It seems that their wings are quite sensitive.
" I'll take this guy and you take that one? " Louis said as he finished checking his wings.
Unn and Sal snapped out of their thoughts after they heard him. This is the first time they saw an Angeli with his wings, though they did feel amazed at Riel's but Louis was... different. He looked so beautiful with his white wings, he's almost glowing.
He looked like an actual angel seen in the picture books and the kind that has gentle and kind eyes. They realized that they really is an Angels from the ancient times and living as humans in this world.
Riel looked at the two bastards with mouth open looking at his brother, they looked intoxicated. He wanted to beat them out but he can't win so he just grabbed the two of them and fly.
" Ahhhh, wait wait! " Sal shouted as they were dangling in the sky, seeing how high they were. He tightly grabbed Riel's arms looked at his brother, Unn fainted.
Louis followed them immediately and looked at Riel carrying the two. He tried to take one of them but Riel avoided him.
"I can carry them, don't worry. I can even carry a mountain, you know? "He said smugly. Louis looked at the twins who looked disheveled and just nodded.
Flying through the skies, they arrived at the location given to them and landed. The moment Louis landed, the seal came back and his wings disappeared.
" It's only a temporary removal. "Riel said and put the two who was shaken the entire journey to the ground. He landed and his wings also disappeared.
He looked around and saw a building, if he didn't know that there's something here he might have not noticed it.
"Let's rest here, they won't try anything for a while. " Louis said as he also found the building. That's where Mikael is, he wants to immediately go but the twins is still uncomfortable. If they went like this, they will be in more danger. He has to be patient. He bit his lips and gripped his hands into fist.
[ Wes, can you see where Mikael's location inside? ] Kite asked the system. Wes scanned the building and reply to his Host.
System: Host, I can't sense anything inside that building. The bug must be inside.
Kite nodded, [ As expected. They are inside. ]
Louis is sure that they are inside. The culprit has baited him to come here, they must have prepared a trap.
A short while later, Unn and Sal woke up. They realized what happened and covered their faces, It's embarrassing but they fainted.
" Here, water. " They looked at Louis who passed them the water jug. Unn sighed and accepted it. They noticed a building not far away.
'It must that one.' Unn thought as he drinks. He passed it to Sal and asked Louis.
" Are we going inside? " Louis nodded and packed up. They stand up and walked inside the building. It was empty inside but it's clean. They suddenly saw a big screen coming from the ceiling.
They readied their abilities in case something happens. Louis gripped his bags as he watched it slowly go down.
After finally coming down, a man's face appeared from the screen. With long platinum hair and dark blue eyes, they realized he is an Angeli but not of pure blood.
The man smiled, " Hello, guests. I'm Frid Borealis. Nice to see you. "With a friendly and gentle voice, he greeted them but his eyes were chillingly cold.
They didn't answer and just looked at him coldly.
" Where is Mikael? "Louis asked.
The man, Frid, chuckles.
" Really fierce, if you continue being like that you'll get hurt you know? Just like before "
Louis knew that he was the mastermind of the kidnapping accident but Riel didn't and got angry.
" What do you mean!? " Riel has a premonition that it's related to him. Louis patted his shoulders and he calms down but still felt bad.
" Ah, you didn't know? I'll explain it to you then. " Frid seems delighted that Riel's expression of despair.
" You see, Louis here got into an accident and was comatose because of you.. it's all you fault you brother almost died ah.." He taunted and Riel gritted his teeth.
He knows that because of him, his brother almost died. Until now, it remains as a scar in his heart. At that time, everytime he saw his brother lying on the bed with many machines on him, not moving and pale, it hurts him. He thought that maybe if his brother didn't save him, he wouldn't be in this situation where they don't know when he'll wake up or die instead.
A dark hue flashed in Riel's eyes. It was about to covered him but stopped when Louis grabbed hold of his arms and hugged him. He put his hands on his head and let his head on his shoulders. He patted his back gently and looked at the man on the screen hatefully. For now, he has to coax this child.
" That's not true, it's not your fault. You are big brother's cute little brother,how could I let you be taken by bad guys? It's that lunatic's fault. Let's just ignore him, let's go. "Louis softly said and pulled Riel out of this hall together with Unn and Sal. They heard a small chuckle but didn't look back.
When they got out of that place, Louis immediately holds Riel's face. Riel looked pale and his wet eyes looked at him pitifully. Unn and Sal looked away and acts like they never existed. This is a family matter, they won't meddle.
Louis frowned and dotingly patted Riel's back. This man is still like a child like this. Still his baby ah
" It's true. How could I let my cute baby brother get taken away? I'll beat them up if need be. " Riel laughed at this and hugged his big brother tightly. He remembered that his brother really beaten those guys up. At that time, he faintly heard them getting beaten up and Louis's angry voice.
" You bastards, how could you take my cute baby brother huh!? "
Riel narrowed his eyes in happiness. Big Brother will always be his protector, he's glad to have him. He suddenly felt his phone vibrating, he checked it and found that it's their parents message.
[ We can't enter €¢&@.. Please be safe. ] His face sank when he saw the message, it seems that they can't get outside help. Louis also saw the message and was silent.
[ This is dangerous, I shouldn't have let them come with me. ] He thought
" Help! Please! " They suddenly heard a sound from a far. The looked at each other and walked to that sound. It's a straight hallway without any windows or doors, they have no choice but to walk that way. When they arrived at the end of the hallway, their eyes widened in shock. Louis gasped.
They were many different races in a cell, like a prison. They were shouting for help, some are screaming from pain and some are just staring, already hopeless.
" What... " Louis is really angry right now. This is inhumane. How could they do this?
He tried to calm himself and looked around, he found a machine and felt that this might be the one managing this prison-like place and told this to the others.
" Let's destroy it. " Sal said seriously, he looked at the people in the cell and Unn nodded. They destroyed the machine and all the bars of the cell disappeared.
The prisoners can't believe what happened and stayed where they are. They watched this happened and leave. They can't force them to escape or else even if they go out of this place, they will still be bound in prison.
They entered another hallway and saw another screen. They looked blankly at the man on the screen.
'This guy, he's so bored to put many screens on every ceiling in this place?' They thought.
Frid smiled and changed the view to a man with black hair, chained. Louis expression change, " What did you do to him? " He asked coldly.
Frid didn't answer and just laughed. The screen blank out. Louis was frustrated, they have to find Mikael soon.
" Let's find him quickly. " He looked at others and they nodded. They decided to search every room, fast.
Kite thought of Louis's hidden ability. Louis is a unique Angeli, one who has a unique ability aside from his average healing ability and flight. And that will be Kite's triumph card to defeat Frid.
Running through the empty hallways, they check every room to see if Mikael is there.
" Ah, he's not either~ "An ingratiating voice comes out from the speakers and the camera focused on them. Frid who was watching this laughed happily.
Louis and the others ignored this and continue to search. They entered a room filled with scattered papers, they checked the papers if it has any clues to where Mikael is. Louis stopped when he saw a file named Mikael and saw his picture inside. Ha gasped at what he saw.
Brainwashing. Torture. Experiment...
He blanked out.
Riel who noticed Louis stopped immediately come to him and saw him staring at a file, his expression change when he saw the content. Pictures of Mikael during his stay on this place was in the files, it looked horrible. Mikael with his small body glittered with scars and dull eyes.
*** (1.9)
Riel take the file in Louis's hands and checked it throughly, he found a 'Failed' stamp on the papers and gritted his teeth in anger. Unn and Sal was silent when they saw the papers.
This is a major matter, this violates the treaty that was signed 1000 years ago. To hurt and harm other races and instigate for war to happen. That man, Frid, is a madman, he wants war. He wants to destroy the world. He obviously put these papers here as evidence for his violations and let the different races blame and pour their anger on the Angeli race using their allied race, the Devin so that when war happens, no one will be able to stop them. They will mutually destroy each other until nothing was left.
A paper fell out from the pile and Louis picked it up, he saw what was written.
[ Corruption Successful. The subject can be released. ]
He gripped the paper in anger. They hurt Mikael and many people like this.
Now, Kite knew how this world was destroyed. It's not Mikael's fault. He is actually just controlled by the real mastermind, he didn't resist because he hates the world. No one cared for him, no one loves him. He is just a child.
Tears swelled up on his eyes as he tried to stop his self from sobbing. This world is so cruel to him, why can't it be destroyed? He must have thought like that. Without anyone giving him love, he must have curled up from pain when he's alone.
He wipes his eyes and looked at Riel, Unn and Sal. They looked at him concerned. He smiled and put the paper in the table.
[ This bastard. I'm going to kill him ] Louis thought darkly.
Corruption. This word means that they have blocked his emotions but not completely. It will just obstruct few feelings of the subject depending on the controller of the corruption. He knows that Frid has the control of Mikael's corruption. Louis didn't know what emotions that bastard blocked but he will kill him so it didn't matter.
Mikael opened his eyes but it's still dark. He tried to move and found that he was chained. His face darkens. This didn't happen to him in the previous life, what happened?
He calmly looked around and wait until his eyes got used to the darkness. He saw a man sitting not far away from him, drinking tea.
He remembered this man, it's this man who help him destroying the world. What is he doing?
He's watching something in a big screen turned away from him. He seems to be enjoying what he's seeing. The man seems to noticed his gaze and looked at him.
" Ah You're awake! Great! I'll invite them here then. " Tha man said as he push a button on the wall and a door suddenly appeared.
The door burst opened an his eyes widened when he saw Louis enter from outside.
Louis and the others is still trying to find Mikael, running in the hallway. He stopped when a door suddenly appeared. They looked at each other and Sal kicked the door opened.
Louis entered and saw Mikael chained. He stopped and looked at the man sitting drinking tea. Frid looked at them happily.
" At last, you came! Come come come, I'll let you see something good. " He said with a mad look in his eyes. He raised his right hand and a black haze surrounded them. Louis looked at Mikael who was also surrounded and found that he was also looking at him. He smiled encouragingly and the haze completely surrounds them.
In the black haze, Louis was alone. He saw Frid appearing from the side and looked at him guardedly. Frid laughed at him.
" I wanted to see for a long time ago. "Frid started, he walked near him and circled him. Louis frowned at him and gripped his bag.
"Louis is my dream ah. Since Mikael saw you, his feelings overflowed to me.. it's a really good feeling. " Intoxicated, Frid said as he stared at him intently. Louis felt uncomfortable from his gaze and looked away.
' What feelings did Mikael felt? This means that he's the controller, all the blocked emotions will go to him' Louis thought as he find a way to escape this black haze.
" Say, how about you be with me instead? "
" Huh? " Louis was dumbfounded at what Frid said and looked at him stupidly.
Frid looked like what he said makes sense, smiled gently and nodded.
" Be with me. " He said again and held Louis's neck. Like if he refused, he will snapped his neck the next second. He was about to respond when the black haze disappeared and Frid looked disappointedly at Mikael who was raging in anger.
" Don't touch him! " He tried to remove the chains but it's useless. Frid looked at him amusedly after seeing him so angry and tightened his hold on Louis's neck.
Louis felt suffocated and gasped. He looked at Mikael and the others who was suddenly in a locked cage. They kicked, punched and shouted to him.
" A corruption and a curse was put on you. You will hate this world and you won't feel love. I will have those feelings while you suffer in pain ah " Frid happily said to Mikael.
Mikael's eyes glowed in anger at what he heard. Now he knew why he suffered, it's all this guys plans. He's just a pawn in his plans.
Louis felt sad for him and slowly get the knife in his backpack. He stabbed Frid in his heart. Frid was shocked that his prey can still move and cough out blood.
He looked at Louis and gently smiled at him. He touched his chest with his other hand.
" I love you ah " He said as he penetrated his chest.
The others was shocked at what happened and shouted, " Louis!! "
Frid crushed Louis's heart and grinned evilly at Mikael and the others. Louis cough blood and looked at Frid. He smiled as blood flows at his lips making it look redder and like an angel on the verge of being fallen, he gently hold Frid's arm that was still in his chest.
"An Angeli can heal..."Before he finished, Frid laughed at him and looked at him like a fool.
Louis doesn't mind and continue to smile calmly at him. His calm gaze and composure somehow make Frid feel like something is wrong and tried to retrieve his arm but he was too late. Starting from his arms, decay forms and flows through his body until he was only ashes left. It happened too fast and everyone was shocked. When they snapped, they only saw Louis falling and before anyone could react. They saw Mikael catch his falling figure.
His restrains was destroyed when Frid died and he immediately came to Louis's side after seeing him fall. This makes him panic and scared. Nothing would be able to stop his feelings now, he won't deny it again. He loves this man.
After seeing him being hurt by Frid, he was almost going crazy. Still, he hopes that he's not too late and quickly put an antidote to heal his injuries. But why is he still so pale? Still cold?
The small bottle fell down on the floor making a distinct sound that wakes everyone of the truth. Louis is gone.
Riel cried and punched the ground, frustrated at his weak self. Everyone shed tears for the kind-hearted young man who risk his life to save them. But they didn't know the pain Mikael is feeling right now.
Mikael blankly looked at the man in his arms. The man is beautiful and always smiling, he looks happy even in the end of his life. He would always take him out to see the world. He likes sweets especially chocolates. He would always want to spoil cute kids. And.. and...
Mikael gasped and felt like he was drowning, the pain comes from his chest. It was almost like his heart was being ripped apart.
[ What...is this? ] He thought as tears flows from his cheek and the pain worsens everytime he breathe. He carefully caress the man's cheek, his lips and his closed eyes which will never look at him again. This man is his most important person.
[ So why? ]
His vision blurred from the tears and he sobbed. He knows the answer but he can't accept it. He buried his head into the man's shoulder like he did when he was a kid. He wished he could turn back time. He inhales to somehow lessen the pain but it only got worse. He smiled as tears flows from his eyes and kiss the man's forehead.
" I love you... Louis..."
A massive power erupted from Mikael's body. Riel and others noticed then paled when they saw him. His eyes turned golden and his eyes flashed in pain. If this world didn't have him, what use is it for? Why is he even alive?
This world hates him. It should just begone..
"Don't hurt him! " Riel shouted. Mikael snapped from his trance and stare at Louis, he stand up carrying him and leave them.
Since then, they never saw them again.
***
A man gasped and opens his eyes, crazed and full of hate for the world. He closed his eyes to suppressed it and opens them again, a calm gaze look into the darkness. His golden eyes shined through and thought of what happened to this world. He didn't expect that the system he created would go find him after collecting almost all of his beloved's soul fragments. However...
He grits his teeth in frustration, although the world was save, his lover died in his arms. The curse is too strong and although he can endure the hate of the world for him, he can't bear not to be with his lover. He can't take his lover dying in his arms, he'll go crazy.
He tried to calm his self and found that the system is going to one of the world he has gone through, it seems that the system is trying to remove the curse after accumulating energies of the worlds. Then, he will cooperate.
The man narrowed his eyes and close his eyes. My beloved, we will meet again.
*** Arc 01 Extra: 1.10
Frid Borealis was born in the slums. He was an illegitimate child, unwanted because he's a halfling but he persevered and believe that there is beauty in the world.
He worked hard and helped many people. He was liked by everyone and he liked them back, he cherished them as his friends, family and a cute daughter. His life is simply full of happiness.
An extremely positive and cheerful man was broken when he encountered a mist in the forest while doing his work. He just turned back from his work, he was needed on site. He needed to past a forest on the way home.
It was night and the high way was desolate without a sign of living. A black mist suddenly surrounded his car and engulfed him. He tried to escape but it was useless.
The black mist ate his kindness and everything he cherished, he saw it. After engulfing him, he became one with it and it hunts his everything to make him lose hope, lose his kindness, his everything...
And it succeeded.
" Dear? What's wrong?"
His lover who welcomed him home after coming back was covered with her blood, lifelessly looking at him with tears in her dull eyes.
" Pa...pa...it hurts..."
His daughter's mangled body was in her arms, hugging his gift for her.
" Pfft You're such a crybaby! Aren't we here to help? "
His friends who always cheer him up was now corpses, piled one after another in the corner, rotting.
Everything is gone. He can't do anything but watched. No matter how hard he struggled, they all died. No matter how he shouted, they can't hear him. No matter how he covered his ears, their pained screams still reach him.
It was hopelessness. Despair.
He remembered how his wife welcomed him with a smile and hugged him, his daughter clinging to his legs, greeting him.
" Papa, Happy Birthday! "
Only to die by his hands...
Why him? He once thought.
Did he deserve this tragedy? To lose his family and friends? What did he do wrong?
He watched as the black mist control his body, hurt a young boy, kill many people...
The people's cursing, shouting and crying. Every night he would dream of them.
His hands are already bloodied from his beloved's blood. He won't resist, he let the black mist do anything it wants. All he wants is, to let him go. Please let him go. Please end this misery.
After sensing that he wouldn't resist anymore, the black mist let him a little bit of control. He once tried to resist again but it backfired and everyone died again. That was the last time he resist. He thought that It really was useless.
Then, he felt something aside from the pain and suffering given by the black mist. He touched his chest and felt that it was warm, this familiar warmth makes his tears fell. In his deadpan face, tears continued to fall down.
It's really really warm. He almost forgotten that feeling.
But before he got to grab hold of it, the black mist erased it. His eyes which hold a bit if light dampens. He pats his chest again to try if that feeling would come again. Although it was erased, he remembered it.
The next time that warmth appeared again, he immediately grabbed hold of it before the mist takes it. It's the only thing he has now, he can't die because the mist won't let him. He must have some use of him.
The truth is, he knew where this warmth came from. He remembered that boy, the mist has connected their emotions, all the warmth given to that child will be send to him then the mist would erased it however, after countless years he has gained a bit of control and manage to conceal and hide that warmth.
The owner who gave him warmth, he won't asked to be forgiven to what he has done. He just hope that he will kill him and end this life.
When the owner really came, he was elated but being controlled by mist. He can't do anything.
Frid, who already noticed the decaying, was happy inside. For all he had done, he will pay for it in hell. As he felt the black mist disappearing, he remembered his family and friends who died by his hands and felt like he saw them waiting for him from afar.
His friend grinned at him, "Welcome back! "
He heard laughter and cheers at the side, he blankly looked at his family and friends greeting him. Like the misery he experienced never happened. He laughed happily.
At the end of his life, he smiled peacefully.
*** Next Arc
The Villains Are After Me(Chrysalis Tell)
Chapter 0
At Kite’s last moments, there was many who cried and beg for him to stay. He was happy that they are there and sad that he has to leave them. Still, he didn’t regret dying for them. That was his last thoughts as he closes his eyes.
Kite's soul wandered through the void, he stirred and refused to wake up just like when they tried to wake him up but then he hears a noise. He thought it was just his imagination but then he suddenly opens his eyes realizing that he was already dead and floating naked? No wait he's not naked no, he's practically a soul...umm but still naked?
A naked soul in the dark huh, well that's weird, isn't he supposed to be gone? What is happening here?

After a series of machine-like voice stating the words above, Kite hears a mechanical but child-like voice. He turned around or try to, or did he turned around?
This place is dark and there's no sense of direction so he didn't know if he move or that glowing ball of fluff, that appeared out of nowhere, move. His fingertips shook.
System: I'm The Worlds Saving System! Nice to meet you, Host!
Kite was bewildered and not answered the voice, it seems cheerful and cute, in appearance, however this is seriously weird, although he likes cute, adorable things and want to reached out and touch it, but this didn't make sense alright? Did he read too much novels for him to doubt that this might be... He can't say it, it's too much for him.
‘What was that in my head right now? Is this a dream or something? Did I read too much novels?'
I just has to repeat it, it's important. The glowing ball of fluff talked again, with it's child-like voice in his head.
System: Host, I'm The Worlds Saving System! I will explain to you your role as my host.
The System said as he circles him and he's confused as to why he has this so-called System in his head.
“What’s happening? What system? I'm clearly dead. Please let me rest, seriously...I don’t want to work anymore, okay? “Kite exasperatedly said and wish for it to leave him alone. The glowing ball of fluff or the System shooked and brushed it's body to his face. Kite blanked.
The system knew the host's weakness and used it for it's advantage. It continued and ignored his questions.
System: As the Host of WS System, you are obliged or to say work hard to save the worlds meaning you need to stop the world from being destroyed by the villains—
The System began to explain like a spoiled child needing some attention, it strucked him when he hears the word ’work’.
'I don’t want work, okay!? ‘’ Kite wants to have a lazy life with no work, please.
The System sounds like it was about to cry when it answered, System: Host, Don't get angry...
'I'm dead. Why are you in my head?' He lowered his tone and asked softly, he didn't know why but he felt find of this glowing ball of fluff, is it because it's cute?
The System felt that it's Host was too cute and kind, he will work hard to help the Host in the future, he answered.
System: Host, after you died, this system is yours to have also, if you manage to complete all the missions and save all the worlds. You can have one wish!
Kite was dumbfounded at the System said but then, he didn’t necessarily want or wishes for something since if he want it, he’ll get it himself.
'.... Is that so? Well it can't be helped if you got stucked to me...' He said almost tiredly from all he heard from the System. It's with an automatic 'transfer to Kite' function, what can he do?
System: ... Host.... you’re so kind...
System felt moved and said as drops of water fell on it's eyes? Wait where's the eyes?
Kite sighed and rolled his eyes against its 'compliment', 'Well? What should I call you?'
System: Host, you can call me--
'I'll just call you, Wes then.' Kite interrupted the System before it can finish its sentence. The system, now called Wes feels betrayed…
System: Host...
'Hmph, after snatching away my right to die peacefully, you’re complaining?' He said and was about to continue when he remembers what Wes was saying before.
'Anyway, continue what you’re saying earlier, if I need to do something, I want it done fast.'
System: Yes, Host
The System looked down and thought, I'm being bullied by Host TT^TT'
System: As the Host of WS System, you are oblique to save the worlds meaning you need to stop the world from being destroyed by the villains--
The System or Wes explains again but he removed the word work as his Host doesnt like that particular word.
'If there are villains, there must be the leads right? Why do I need to save the world if they are there?' Kite asks curiously when he heard the word villain.
System: Host, the leads in these worlds has failed to save the worlds many times that we have trouble in saving them!
The System complained about how weak the protagonists in those worlds are and so on till Kite interrupted his speech and got the main point, 'You find someone to save those worlds because the protagonists are weaklings.'
Wes bounced and glowed, he looks happy, That's right! Host, you’re so smart!
‘So, in short it's like this.... Save The Worlds equals in Saving The Villains in The Worlds. Right? 'Kite asked the system and Wes shooked. The hairs of the fluff got bristled like it was shocked.
System: Whoa Host, I've never think of that!
The System looks like it was about to be a devout follower and worship him with sparkling eyes. Kite sighed and just nodded his, 'Yeah Yeah. First, let me rest.'
Wes repeatedly nodded his eyes like an obedient kid. After a while, Kite woke up from his sleep and turned to Wes who materializes as a glowing ball of fluff.
'Alright, I understand now. Let's go.'
System: Yes! Let's go save the worlds, Host!
Wes said energetically and a stream of light greeted Kite as he prepares to sleep on the way.
In Kite’s last life, he achieved what he wanted, did what he like and lives how he wanted completely. Well it's not bad to waste time from saving worlds.
Let's start!
Arc 01: Adopted Younger Brother is After Me
Complete: 10 Chapters + 1 Extra (1.10)
System: Here's the Main Task and the world's basic information, Host
Kite opened his eyes only to be bombarded by this world's information. He closes his eyes from the sudden pain because of overload information.
"Ugh..."
[ Main Task:
(1) Save The Villain
(2) Prevent the Villain from destroying the World
Rewards: 1000
Information: The worldis..#@destroy___$plot@&€£^€>.... accurate..
Please stop the Villain from destroying the Protagonist's fate and save the World. ]
[ This... A bug? ] I asked Wes when I saw the information tab. Wes also saw that the panel is slightly twitching.
System: This.. I will report it to the Main System.
Kite nodded and decided to look into the World's background first.
[ This world is called Okaz, it has similarities to my previous world, this world has different races. You will know the race of a person by their color, the color of their eyes or hair. The world's races are coexisting since ancient times and the people living are hybrids of the previous pure races.
It seems that Okaz's development is the same as Earth.
It's a unique world, just what kind of plot is in this world? Let's see... ]
The protagonist of this world is a son of a prestigious family, the youngest. As one of the most influential families in the country as they have the blood of an ancient race, Angeli. Angeli is an ancient race that has platinum blonde hair and blue ocean eyes. They are pure, kind and proud creatures, has a power of healing and is gentle however they have a normal body compared to the strong werewolves and may considered weak and has pure white wings.
Riel lived happily, has a complete family and has many friends but all went wrong when his father announced that he has an illegitimate child, named Mikael, when he was 7 years old, making his mother so shocked and pained that she got heart attack and died while his father mourned and locked his self in despair, making Riel hate the boy at a young age. The boy was of the same age, skinny also he looks filthy with his muddy gray ripped shirt and black hair completely unlike his blonde one and his red eyed that looks so ugly. This looks, proves that they are not related, makes Riel hates him more so he bullied him, humiliated him. Riel was blackened from losing his mother and father for neglecting him as he was drowning in sorrow, knowing that his family is not perfect and from all the hate he had, he blamed it all on Mikael, the illegitimate child. After 3 years of making the boy suffer, he planned to get rid of Mikael from his family and succeeded.
After 12 years, Riel was successful in his life. His dad however was assassinated; he mourned but persevered as he still had his older brother, his only family left. His brother Louis had been comatose ever since he was five; Louis saved him from being hit by a car. Louis is 5 years older than him, until now he's still comatose, his brother is now his only hope and only family. In this time, Riel meets his childhood sweetheart and fall in love with her, they experience all hardships a protagonist should face and win it all. But before they even got happy ending in being married, they find themselves destroyed all suddenly. Riel's business got bankrupt; his big brother died, chased by some assassins and lost their child. Until death, they don't know what killed them.
Kite makes a strange face and he felt his lips twitching, he sighed at the cliche plot this World has, but he has one question.
[ What is this? Isn't the protagonists supposed to win the world? The protagonist doesn't look like he's a weakling. In the first place, how does an Angeli got blackened? ]
System: Host, this is what I'm telling you also according to the Main System, there's a bug in this World. I will update the Main Task.
[ Main Task:
(1) Save The Villain
(2) Prevent the Villain from destroying the World
(3) Find the bug
Rewards: 1500
Information: The worldis..#@destroy___$plot@&€£^€>.... accurate..
Please stop the Villain from destroying the Protagonist's fate and save the World. ]
[ I just have to find it? ] Kite asked and thought of all the novels he has read where the protagonist has to find and solve all the problems on his own.
System: Yes, Host. We will handle it after you find it.
[ Hmm... You guys are quite responsible huh ] Kite said while looking at Wes who was glowing proudly and circled him happily. His voice filled with joy.
System: Of course, Host! Our service is impeccable!
[ You sound so proud huh. If you guys were really good then there shouldn't have a bug, you know? ] Kite said, bursting the confidence of the proud system. The ball of fluff stop glowing and droop down but immediately recovers.
System: *cries* Yes... Fighting, Host! *cheers* I will cheer for you here! Go! Go! Fight!
[You recover fast. ] He said looking blankly at the virtual confetti the System throw for him.
Kite sighed ruefully at his own misfortune for accepting this system and opened his eyes; he looked at his surroundings and noticed that his body seemed to be in a rather bad condition. Kite can hear the beep of the machine as he try to get his self sit on the headboard and remove the oxygen mask. He felt weak.
He closed his eyes to rest as he sighed. I might be...
[ Wes, this... ]
System: Host! That's right!
The System answered immediately without letting Kite finish his sentence. He sighed and opened his eyes, only to see his 'family' opening the door loudly with panic expressions, only to be shocked seeing him sitting in the bed. The first to react is his supposed to be little brother in this World.
"Big Brother!"
Looks like he was the Protagonist's brother, Louis Angelis.
"Big Brother!" He was hugged by a blonde little boy, the little looked so adorable especially for Kite who loves kids so much.
"Hey...*cough*cough* " Louis’s voice sounds weird when he tried to talk and ended up coughing because of sleeping for two whole years.
"You’re awake! You’re awake!" Little Riel shouted, crying and smiling at the same time while hugging him tightly.
"Here's some water, Young Master. " An old man quickly gave me a glass of water. After accepting and drinking it, I saw him wiping his tears and smile when he caught me looking at him. He must be the butler and right hand man of the body's father, Jon Sikalis. A half Human and Angeli.
Louis turned to his little brother who's hugging him and weakly pinched his cheeks. He laugh and snuggled me like a puppy.
[ Waa...So cute ] Thought of a certain someone who's melting from cuteness.
"Yes Yes"
"Louis...I'm glad...” Louis hears a gentle voice full of relief and happiness as he looked at the older woman who called him, his mother or more precisely Louis's Mother. Although she's supposed to be 600 years old, she looks like she's in twenties. Their race aged slower and lived longer just like the Elves.
"Mom..." He smiled at her softly while raising his other arm towards her, she cried and hugged me. Father just hugged us quietly and pats my head gently.
"It's a happy occasion, we're glad that you're okay. "Father's voice cracked when he said the last words and cried. Louis laughs and hugged them back and his eyes dimmed when he thought of how this family will end. It's weird but he might have inherited Louis's love for his family. He frowned and asked Wes.
[ Wes, is this normal? Is Louis still in this body? ]
When Wes heard his question, he trembled and secretly looked at his Host and felt relieved that it didn't notice it's action just now.
System: No, Host. It must be the original body's wish.. It's a side task, Host. I'll send it to you. Hehe, I forgot about it tehee~
[Side Task: Happy Ending for Louis and his Family
Points: 100
Failure: -100 ]
Kite's lips twitch and sighed giving up. It's useless, this system.
System: So you want to accept it, Host? It's a side task so it's okay to reject it.
[ I'll accept it. In exchange of using your body, I'll accomplish your wish and save them. ]
Save them, you...
Louis heard a soft voice and felt his body lighter. [ It seems that he's gone completely. Don't worry, I will save you. It's my job, after all. ]
" Master, Madame, Young Master Louis needs to rest first. Let's call the doctor, yes? " Jon reminded the three cry babies holding Louis and smiled wryly.
" Ah, yes. Louis, rest for now, okay? " Louis nodded and smiled at his mother.
[ Louis seems to be loved here. It's suspicious why an Angeli who has healing ability never woke up from an accident. It seems there's something we don't know of. ]
System: Umm, I already gave the plot, Host. Could it be a plot hole!?
[ It must be, ah I expected it from you though. ]
System: Host... TT^TT
"*Sniff* Uuhhh..." Louis snap out of his thoughts when Little Riel hugged him tighter.
"Stop crying already... “He helplessly said while comforting the cry baby in his arms.
"I'll go call the doctor, " Father said and took his phone to make a call.
"Call Sir. Ben, Louis woke up. " Father announced happily and walk out the room.
Louis smiled at his Father's silly look and looked at Riel and his mom.
Louis in the story was a gentle little boy, smart and kind to everyone. Everyone loves him but because of the accident he was comatose.
[ The plot doesn't mention what kind of accident it was for an Angeli to get this hurt. ] He thought for a while and face them.
"I'm glad I'm awake, now I can take care of you, Mom... Riel... "He said softly while looking at them.
"Big Brother, this time I'll protect you! “Little Riel said, his little fist cutely pump his chest.
He just chuckled and patted him in the head.
"En." [ How could someone be this cute? Ahh cuteness is the best. ] Louis was grinning foolishly in his thought.
Mom dried her tears and kisses him on his forehead before dragging Riel out because he still have to rest and wait for the doctor.
The doctor came immediately after he woke up just a while ago, he checked him and all. The doctor is an elf, he specializes in treating different races.
"Mr. and Mrs. Angelis, I'm glad that Young Master Louis wakes up. He will be fine after a few months rest. Don't tire him too much and get a good meal and rest. I'll come back next month to check on Young Master Louis again. Well then." He bowed and said goodbye. The doctor will probably make medicine for him to drink.
Louis waved him goodbye with a smile and the doctor smiled back.
Father patted his head and tells him to rest. He nodded and rest properly since he really felt weak and tired. While looking at the ceiling, he remembered the villain and somehow felt sad for him. Although this mission needs so much energy and will probably make work, he wants to stop the destruction of this world. He narrowed his eyes as he thought of this, he was not the kind of person who saves so why did he thought of that? Well, he have so much free time before so he must have save some people to resolve boredom? That's probably the reason why he was automatically accepted by the system.
Contemplating like this for an hour, his eyes closes as his body can't last without sleeping. It doesn't matter, since I felt like this, I should do what I like. Decided, he finally fell to sleep.
*** (1.1)
After 3 months, he can walk but still needed his wheelchair because he is still in rehabilitation; after all he’s been comatose for 2 whole years.
As he was rolling his wheelchair to the living room, he heard father's voice. If listening properly, It was trembling. The speaker was clearly nervous.
"Lana, Riel. I want you to meet someone."He said forcing to smile and pat the little boys head beside him.
[ What a way to congratulate me waking up. It must be today right? ] Kite said as he remembered the plot. Wes nodded.
System: Yes, Host.
[ My target. ] Louis looked on curiously and found his mom and Riel who just from the garden, standing in front of Father in the doorway.
"What it is, Dad? “Riel asked curiously after running from the garden to here when he heard his Father's voice.
Mom just looks at Father, curiously as well.
[ Hmm... I can't stop this part huh? Will Mom die? Then...I just have to stop it. ] He thought and smirked.
In this part of the plot, the reason why Riel's mother died is heart attack, it's different for an Angeli to get a heart attack since for the Angeli race, their heart is the source of their power and an integral part of their existence. Riel's mother gets too stimulated from his Father's news and added to the fact that she also received a severe injury in her heart when she's younger took her life.
Father breathe deeply before saying to them, "I...I have a another son, he--- "
"Mom? “Louis butt in before Father finished his sentence. He looked at her as she pat her chest and look at Louis. Pain and Betrayal are showed in her eyes, he smiled at her softly and come close to her to hold her hand.
"Calm down, Mom." Louis said then looked at Riel who looked at Father angrily. Riel obviously didn't expect his father to cheat on his mom.
"Come here, Riel.” He said and stretched his other hand to little Riel as he quickly hugged him. He patted him and Mom.
He sighed inside, [ This mother and child are so the same. ]
"Continue, Father.” He said to Father coldly. He flinched at his tone but the man deserves it, to scare Mother too much to cause her to die but I hope that Father explain things clearly and not like this. He just makes it more tense, how could mother take that?
[ Seriously, this idiot of a Father. ]
"He's the same age as Riel, I swear. That time, I made a mistake and... listen to me Lana. " He immediately explained to mom. Mom looked at him angrily and walks away clearly not intending to listen, Father followed her after leaving the three of them looking at their back.
I smiled wryly at Father's crying face, [ I hope he would phrase it better so we won't misunderstand. ] He just shook his head at his stupid Father and sighs.
He looked at the boy who is his little brother now looking at the floor with dull empty eyes. He has black hair, dirty clothes, although looks old there are bruises on his arms and legs and Louis is sure he has more.
[ He is too skinny... ]
Louis unconsciously frowned.
[ According to the colors, he must be a Devin. Black hair and red eyes are the traits of a Devin, their race are rare even in the ancient times. They are strong, cruel and intelligent, only gentle to their beloveds. I just don't know how Father, a pure Angeli got a child like him? That's practically impossible right? The race's trait is not compatible. ]
He turned to Riel and whispered to him, "Go and play somewhere, okay? "
Riel narrowed his eyes happily like a puppy, it looks like he decided to ignore the little boy that Father brought. He chuckled, shaking his head and told the maid at the side to send him to the garden. Riel pouted and followed, he still has something to do there. Before leaving he shot the boy a glare.
Without anyone here but the two of them, Louis beckoned the boy closer. The boy didn't seem to notice as he was busy looking down.
"Come here." He said gently and stretched his hand to him. The boy looks up and stare at Louis's hand then at him like he just saw something really weird, He smiled at him and call out, "Come on...”
The boy slowly walks to him cautiously. He gripped his already ripped clothes and approached him.
Louis grabbed him immediately when he's in his reach, He saw his dull empty red eyes widen and closed tightly as if waiting for something. Looking afraid, shaking and especially sad.
[ Why is he sad? It must be because of all the abuse he experienced, it must hurt right? How could they hurt a small child like this? ] He thought sadly. He hugged him, despite the dirt and smell. He laughed inside. As expected, kids are supposed to be soft and chubby. I have to fatten him up and raised him into a fine handsome man.
[ He's so cute. How could anyone hurt him? He's really so skinny, I have to fatten him up. ] Louis thought as he poke the boy's cheeks. The boy turned stiff at his embrace and didn't respond to his poking.
"What's your name? " He asked as he patted the boys head softly.
He let him sit in his lap and look at the boy closely, "I'm Louis. Your Big Brother. Call me Big Brother, alright? " He happily explained to him. Louis saw him looking at him dumbly. He laughed and brushed the boys locks to the side.
"There, you got such beautiful eyes. Just like rubies, so pretty. " Seeing his red eyes, Louis thought of the sunset.
He's still staring at him; Louis just smiled and called a maid to come in. It seems she was quite shocked when she saw that the boy who was suspected as an illegitimate child of Father was in Louis's lap.
"Send us to my room. " When he said that, the boy got stiff again, shaking. He hugged him gently.
"Don't worry, I won’t hurt you. I'll take care of you from now on. "He whispered to his ears as he felt him tugging his shirt tightly.
"Prepare a bath.”
"Yes, Young Master Louis." She bowed and sends them to Louis's room, prepared a bath and was about to let the boy down but the boy does not want to let go.
[ What is this little cutie? ] Louis thought while screaming at the cuteness of this cute bun.
Louis chuckled and told the maids to get out, "I'll take a bath, so let go for now okay? " After he said that the boy reluctantly let go.
He slowly tried to stand up and managed to balanced his self then holds the cute bun's little hand as he guide the boy to the bathroom.
When they enter the bath, Louis throw all the boys dirty clothes and washed him thoroughly and get a small shirt in his closet since the boy still doesn't have clothes of his own.
"You’re so cute, "He said when he saw the boy on his shirt, Louis pinched the boys soft cheeks and laugh at him looking so lost.
"You still haven't said your name.”He said pouting and look at the boy's red eyes which isn't as dull as before, still staring.
"I... “Louis eyes widen, quite shocked and then smiled; he's really cute even his voice is cute too.
The boy looks up at him with a glint in his eyes but it disappeared quickly that Louis didn't notice it. The System sweat drop because he caught it. Wes was really worried for his Host.
System: Host! Be careful, alright? Hey
But Louis was so focused at the cute bundle in his arms that he didn't hear the Systems warning. He just noticed that the boys red eyes have a little light in them as it takes him in.
[ So pretty ] He thought as he smiled foolishly.
System: Host, your foolish self is coming out...
"My name... name.. is..Mikael..."
He smiled even brightly at Mikael and suddenly felt the world spinning as he narrowed his eyes from the pain. He tried to stabilize his self but failed.
Louis saw Kael looking at him and a small face distorting from fear when he saw him falling and tried to catch him.
"Louis...Louis..."Kaels worried voice sounds so cute as well, He smiled at him before surrendering to the darkness. The last thing he remembered is the warm embrace as Kael keeps calling him.
[ Yes, in this world. This adorable little boy will destroy the world in the future... ]
In the original story, when Riel and his lover died. Mikael was there, he watched as they were chased by the assassins he ordered to kill them. His red eyes held the same dull and empty glow. After that, he destroyed everything, he hates the world. All he suffered, he will make the world pay for what it did to him. He is now the most powerful and no one can take him down. Anything that he hates, he'll break it slowly...
"I told you! Let go of my Big Brother! It's your fault that Big Brother fainted! " Louis stirred when he heard Riel's voice as he felt small hands tightly clinging on him, refusing to let go.
[ Ah I've overwork myself. ] He thought the he heard Wes's voice full of relief in his head. He saw a ball of fluff dashing to his head and stayed there.
System: Host! You’re awake!
[ I forgot that this body just recovered from coma. I got too excited because there's so many cuties here. *Sigh* I must restrain myself. ] While Louis mind was wandering off and decided to restrain his love for cuteness, everything that is cute. Little Riel and Mikael are fighting over him.
“Let go of him! ” He opened his eyes and looked at his side and saw Riel peeling Mikael off of him while Mikael just holds on tightly.
”Riel,…Don’t hurt Mikael too much... " He weakly said and patted Riel’s hair softly.
"Big Brother! "Little Riels eyes shined when he saw Louis opened his eyes but pouted immediately and complained, " It’s his fault that you fainted then he clings to you! You’re my Big Brother! Not his!" He complained in tears.
He nodded, "Yes Yes, You’re both my cute little brothers, alright? "He patted Mikael’s hair too when his hold loosened when he agreed to what Riel said though it tighten immediately when Louis patted him and hides his face in his neck.
Riel cried when he heard Louis answer," Brother doesn't want me anymore! Waaaahhh!! "
Louis sighed when Little Riel cried louder, Louis just smiled wryly when he, too, clings to him on the other side. He just hugged him, helpless from his spoiled but adorable antics.
[ Ahh is this heaven? I'm surrounded by cute little buns to my left and right... hehehe..] Again, Louis mind wanders as he savored this time. Louis immediately feels guilty as he comforts them to stop crying.
[ I should not be tempted. I'm a strong person! I can.. take this much.. at least..] As Louis's resolved grew weaker as time goes by. Riel stopped crying after Louis coaxed him for a while.
*** (1.2)
Louis asked him looking around, "Where’s Mom and Father? “
Little Riel sniffed, “They said... Honeymoon? Dad carried Mom off to somewhere and Butler Jon saw you fainted. I was so worried!”
So they made up, that's fast. He looked at Riel who was still glaring at Mikael then noticed him looking and smiled at him
[ This child is so moody, just a little ago he cries then nag his brother next well its cute still. ] Thought of the kid lover as nodded at Little Riels words, then he thought of his parents, [ I think, Mikael is not really Father's child. Why does Father insist that Mikael is his, I wonder. *sigh They must be making little siblings soon, those two. Though in the plot, Riel didn't have any younger siblings.]
Then he should focused the two kids in front of him, [ Now, what should I do with these two? ]
Little Riel keeps glaring at Mikael for snatching his brother away while Mikael just quietly hugged Louis.
“You two, don’t fight okay? This isn't Mikael’s fault, Riel. So don’t be angry at him alright? "Louis said to them especially at Riel.
“Hmph! "
[ Ah he snobs me, this kid seriously ] Louis said in his mind as he looked at Little Riel.…
"Riel. "He called him with a stern voice, Little Riel wavers and looks down, sad then nodded.
”Pinky swear? "Louis asked as he makes sure that Little Riel won’t bully Little Kael.
“A-Alright Pinky Swear..."He said though he seems to hesitate, Louis immediately grabbed the opportunity when he agreed.
“Now, say sorry to Mikael for being rude.”
“Sorry, Kael "Louis smiled at him and patted his head.
"Very good. "When he said that, Little Riel beamed happily and waved goodbye because it’s already time to sleep. After all he knows that Louis will nag him to go to bed at this time.
"Goodnight, Riel. "He said to him, he nodded and kiss him goodnight too. As he thought, Riel is such an adorable child.
[ Ah I forgot Kael. ] Louis suddenly remembered Mikael and looks at his arms only to see him sleeping so peacefully. He chuckled and tucked them both to bed. He tightly clings to his clothes though.
He sighed, [ they are both good kids. ]
Louis patted his head and kissed him goodnight as he closes his eyes.
Louis didn't’t notice the ruby eyes to open and watch him with a glint in its eyes.
"Goodnight... "As Kael gently whispered to the sleeping boy while continuing to hugged him.
He was orphaned, left and all alone ever since he was aware of his situation. He was three when her mother sells him and four when he saw the dirty part of the world.
[ Its ugly, ] he thought.
He hated the world since then. Hated his mother, Hated everything even his dirty self. Still he managed to survive the dirty world he hates for three years, in that time he realizes that he wanted to destroy it, the world, everything. There is nothing to be fond of in this kind of world, he thought as his empty eyes swept through everything he sees.
Then someone came to get him, the man said that he is his father, he just looked at him. He just doesn't care anymore, this world and everything in it he hates it, it disgusts him, he want to destroy it so badly but then he saw him.
The boy looked like an angel that he saw in a painting once, his hair looks so soft and close to white and his eyes, Mikael thought that it was the most beautiful eyes that he has ever seen. They were clear and pure, sparkling like the star he saw in the night sky and his voice sounds so gentle like a lullaby. He was charmed and feels like the world just brightened.
[ What is this? ] He wondered as he looked at the boy, he didn't pay attention to his surroundings he don't care, all he see is him, he seemed to be older than him and even though he is in a wheelchair, it doesn't lessen his noble aura.
[ So pure and beautiful, it exists, ] Mikael exclaimed in his mind.
He immediately looked away when he noticed the boy was looking at him, his heart beats fast. He was nervous, its the first time for Mikael as he closes his eyes tightly.
[ I'm so ugly, ] He berated himself.
[ Don't look at me! So ugly..]
"Come here."His angel said softly as if afraid to scare him away then Mikael saw a soft looking hand stretched to him.
He was bewildered, what is he supposed to do? What if he is like the others? but he felt like this time, its real. Its not fake like what he experienced before, like an angel but it's insides are so ugly.
He saw the angel smiled at him, "Come on.."
Mikael braced himself and slowly walked towards the angel, [ he's so pure, what if I tainted him? ] He thought and stopped but he's already close enough for the angel to grab him.
He widens his eyes because of his shocked and closed it tightly, waiting for the expected pain.
[ it's fake too? Why...] He miserably thought but nothing came, only a warm embrace welcomes him despite his ugliness.
"What's your name? "He hears the angel's soft voice as he asked then he felt the angels soft hands in his dirty hair.
[ H-He wants to know my name! ] Mikael was shocked again, he didn't know what to do. It felt so warm, he can't calm down. He can't think properly, the angel was real. He's a real one!
Mikael was happy for the first time but on the outside he's still expressionless.
He felt himself being sitting in the angels lap, he saw the angels clear eyes look at him closely like it can see through him to see his secrets, his ugliness. He panics but before he can react.
"I'm Louis. You're Big Brother. Call me Big Brother, alright? " The angel happily explained to him. He was again charmed, so the angels name was Louis. It suited him well.' Mikael thought
When he still didn't answer for a minute, Louis laughed as he brushes his hair away from his eyes.
[ Ah I want to hear that again ] Mikael cant help but wish to hear and see him laughed again.
"There, you got such beautiful eyes. Just like rubies, so pretty. "Louis said, again Mikael was bewildered.
[ Did he say, my eyes are pretty. Its so ugly and looks like blood. I hate it but Louis said it was beautiful, like rubies. ] Mikael felt happy inside.
He saw him smiled at him and called someone, its seems to be a maid.
Mikael already forget all about his father and what happened before he met Louis, he don't care about those filthy things anymore. Since today, the moment he met Louis is all that he cared because, he met a real one. A real angel that he read once in a picture book, he didn't believe it after he read it because this world is so ugly, there's no way that there's someone so pure and beautiful out there but still as a child, he hoped about it, only to be disappointed again and again. In the end, he forgets about his only dream, only to be revived by Louis. He swears, he will protect him. Take him away from the ugly world. He won't ever let him get even a glimpse of that filthy world, his Louis deserves the beautiful things.
"Send us to my room. "He got stiff when he hears Louis said that.
[ What? Is it all a ploy to get my heart? It can't be...] Mikael desperately thought then he was hugged in a warm embrace.
"Don't worry, I wont hurt you. I'll take care of you from now on. "Louis whispered to him, he relaxes and grab the angels shirt. Mikael was really thankful that he survived living until this day, this is where I belong. He thought as hugged back.
"Prepare a bath."
"Yes, Young Master Louis."The maid bowed and sends them to Louis's room, prepared a bath and put him down.
[ No! I don't want to let go! ] Mikael complained in his mind
Louis chuckled and told the maids to get out, "I'll take us to bath, so let go for now okay? " Mikael reluctantly let go when he hears his angels request. He wants to be with him, so much, much more.
[ Don't ever want to let go ] He thought as he looked at Louis who is trying to stand up, he was about to help but then he felt Louis hand holding his and his mind flew off. He didn't know what happened next and wake up when Louis let him borrowed his shirt.
[ It smelled divine..] He thought, its confirmed, Mikael was a pervert at a young age.
"You're so cute, "Louis said to him and pinched his cheeks and laughs at him when he caught him staring.
"You still haven't said your name. "
[ He still wants to know my name! ] Mikael was really happy today but his facial expression stays the same.
"I... " He tried to say making Louis look at him shocked and then smiled, Mikael really wants to monopolize that smile, he wish only him can see it.
[ Can I just cage him away? ] He darkly thought, he caught the other smiling foolishly while looking at him while Mikael hides away his dark thoughts he answers his angel.
"I'm Mikael..." He said and was given a bright smile, feeling happy but he noticed that Louis looks so pale compare to before.
[ What's happening to him? Right, he should be in his wheelchair! ] Mikael felt stupid realizing that just now. He was so happy that he forgets about everything.
[ How could he forget about his angels well being!? As he berated himself repeatedly, ] he tried to catch Louis's falling body.
"Louis...Louis..." He repeatedly called, he put Louis's head in his lap. Louis smiled at him before closing his eyes.
That time, he was really scared. Scared that his angel would disappear. He won't like that, he don't want to live like that anymore. Like an empty shell, living for the sake of living. The ugly world, he hates. If Louis disappears, what would he do?
Fortunately, an old man saves him and said that he was fine. Mikael can't stay calm so he hugged Louis to watch him, he will wait for his angel to wake up. He won't let go. Ever.
*** (1.3)
[ I'm falling...
It's dark...
Empty...
Where am I? ]
Louis frowned when he looks around and found that he's not in his room.
[ Did I die again? ] He thought
[ No... I am...] Louis is confused and suddenly he saw someone. He thought it was familiar and his heart throbbed.
[ That person looks so.. sad. ]
[ Who are you? ] He asked but that person didn't hear him and like an illusion, the surrounding disappeared and he open his eyes again only to see the familiar ceiling. He's back to Louis's room.
[ What's that? System? ] Kite asked doubtful of what he saw. Wes appeared in his line of sight and drops of water are falling from it body.
System: Host! Q∆Q You woke up! I forgot to tell you that you can't tire yourself since this body just woke up
Louis tried to get up but found that he can't because there's something hugging him and found Mikael beside him.
Louis stared at Mikael's sleeping face and grin like a fool, "Hehe so cute."He thought out loud.
He slowly get up and take Mikael's arms hug the pillow instead. He then take the help button in his bedside and a maid came in and was about to talk only to be stopped by Louis.
"Shh.."Louis looked into Mikael's direction and the maid nodded. The maid helps him get into the wheel chair. The maids here are all lower Angeli, they served those with pure blood of their race.
"Let him sleep for a while, he must be tired. Right, what time is it?" Louis ask while the maid pushing him beside the table in the room and found that it's already dark outside.
"It's 8:00pm, Young Master."The maid answered, "Madame and Master left a message for Young Master to take care of your body while they are away." The maid suddenly said and I nodded in response.
"The Doctor has prescribed you medicine, I will prepare them now."
"Yes, and please call Butler Jon."Louis looked at the table with books and more books. The maid bowed and go out the room.
Only Mikael's breathing remains in the room. Louis sighs and decide to make plans for the future.
"Ugh... No..."
Hmm? Louis frowned when he heard a groan and looked at his side.
"No! Uuhhh..." Mikael struggled and yelled. Louis was shocked and immediately tried to wake him.
"Mikael..." Louis didn't know what to do when he saw Mikael like this and felt hurt for the boy who has already suffered enough to still be hurting even now.
Mikael dreamed of the dark place he was in before, it was dark, dirty and so ugly. He doesn't like this place. He wants to be with Louis more...
From where he was standing, countless black hands suddenly grabbed his legs and stopped him from getting away. Mikael felt the hand was pulling him deeper and tried to make it let go.
"Don't take me away from Louis." He pleaded while trying to get the hand let go of him, he pulled and scratched but he was still being pulled deeper and deeper.
"Please don't take me... No.. I don't want to go..."Mikael scratched harder and tried to struggle more but there's nothing he can do as he was only being pulled deeper into the darkness. Hopelessness and despair filled his heart as his body is being pulled deeper.
[ This... Is fine..] Mikael thought as his eyes slowly lose the light in them and stopped struggling. He was tired of fighting, it's fine this way.
"Come here. " Suddenly he hears a voice and looked up, there's a faint light there, that makes Mikael's heart fill with hope and woke him up from his despair. His eyes brightens and remember Louis. His angel.
"Call me Big Brother, alright? " Louis who tells him that, hugs him carefully and caress his hateful eyes. Louis who looks at him so gently that he has the urge to cry in his arms and snuggle in his warmth.
"No! Let me go! "He snapped from the despair and desperately tried to escape even if his small hands become bloodied and hurt, he didn't mind and just struggle because he knew, if he didn't escape from this he wouldn't be able to see his angel.
He didn't want to go back to that place. That's why, this time he will do his best to escape because, he also, has someone important and wants to be with all the time.
"Mikael..." That person gave courage and strength, he wants to see him again.
Louis called Mikael's name again and tried to wake him up. When he saw the little bun woke up and looked at him tearfully, his heart softens and carried the baby in his arms to hug him.
"It's alright, I'm here."Louis patted his back softly and Mikael buried his face in his chest and hugs him tighter.
Louis wait for the little bun to calm down and hears a sound coming from the little boy. He look down to see Mikael blushing. He chuckles.
"Hungry? "Asks Louis. Mikael nodded shyly.
A knock sounded from the door and a maid comes in carrying a tray.
"Just right on time. "Louis said after seeing the food beside the medicine bowl.
The maid bowed and said, "Butler said to drink the medicine after eating, Young Master. "
He nodded and the maid takes the tray beside the bed, there's one bowl of medicine and a bowl of porridge, there's also some desserts.
"I'll call you when we're done."He said to the maid, she nodded and left the room.
Louis looked at Mikael and said gently, "Let's eat together?"
Mikael's eyes lit up and nodded happily, a small smile slip through his lips.
[Cute.]
System looked at them and sigh, Host is really weak to cute things..
Louis spoon fed Mikael while Mikael blush and eats with him, after eating Louis has to drink medicine and ate cookie, he also gave some to Mikael which the little boy seems to like very much.
The maid came and take the dishes, "Young Master, Butler said that it is much better to have conversations tomorrow and for you to rest today. The Master and Madame has also called and told us that they were going home in the afternoon tomorrow."
Louis sighs and nodded, he understands that he just woke up so they probably is worried especially after he fainted. The bowed and left.
"Well, it seems that we're going sleep tonight? "Louis said to Mikael and saw him fidgeting and tries to hide the smile in his lips.
"Hmm? You seem happy? Why? " He asked and tease the little boy. Mikael blushes and just snuggled in his arms to hide.
[What is this? He's so cute...] Louis thought hopelessly and they lay facing each other. Louis saw hisself in Mikael's eyes and smiled. He patted his head gently and hummed.
Slowly Mikael's eyes blinks and tried to fight off the sleepiness, Louis chuckles.
"Good night, Mikael." He said and closed his eyes while humming and hug Mikael closer.
Mikael saw him closing his eyes and hearing the humming, only felt warmth and happy that he feels more sleepy. He narrowed his eyes and hug Louis. Before he got surrounded by darkness, his angel is by his side and will always be with him. It's completely safe here so it's fine to sleep. He buried his head in Louis arms and surrendered his self to sleep.
From the window, sunshines on the two small bodies on the bed and woke up the Mikael, he opens his eyes to see Louis's face. He was facing the sunshine and look so soft and warm. Mikael thought that what he's seeing must be a dream as the boy look like an angel and cautiously tried to touch him to see if he's not one of his hallucinations.
[ What is this? Eh is this a dream? It's warm and soft...]
Kite felt something soft touch his face and opens his eyes to see Mikael staring at him blankly. He smiled and hugged the cute little boy, this must be heaven. Kite thought half awake.
System: Host...
The system has to remind Louis about his mission as to not make a mistake of the original body's character. Kite woke up completely and looked at the little boy in his arms, he laugh awkwardly at the system and ignored it. For now, he should pay attention to Mikael, he smiled and greets the little boy.
"Good morning, Mikael."Mikael woke up from his daydream and felt happy, it's not a dream. He really found an angel.
Louis sat up and looked at the sunshine on the window, he looked at Mikael who is still in his arms and stare at him. He realized that he was still hugging him and smiled at the little boy faintly.
Mikael felt him loosening his hug and clung to him. When Louis noticed him, he panicked and let go. He paled and looked down as he clenched his fist. Louis smiled and held his hands together, looked at him in the eyes and told him, "You want to be with Big Brother more?"
Mikael felt his ears hot and nodded shyly. Louis smiled happily and cuddle the cute bun in his arms. Ah, I'm so lucky...
The system suddenly remembered something very veryy important and has to disturb their happy bubble, Wes called his Host.
System: Host, Host
[ What is it? ]
System: I have to manage some things and will leave for a while... but don't worry, Host. As this is the first world, it will be like a tutorial. This is an easy world according to my data. I will still be supervising you and Host can call me if you have something to ask, I will immediately come! That's why, Host...
Wes was worried that his Host would feel lonely at first but looking at his Host who was cuddling and looked relax, he felt relieved and sad. According to his data, his Host has great abilities and system trusts him to complete the missions, system was sad that his Host is so capable, he can't help much.
Kite frowned, [ Are you okay? Is it urgent? ]
Kite felt that the system was not quite right and ask him. The system nodded and reassured it's host. He won't tell Host that he just remembered his work.
System: This will happen every World, Host. As a world saving system, I have to somehow stabilize the world so it won't collapse and find ways to help our Host to accomplish our missions faster.
[ I see, so systems do work hard huh ]
*** (1.4)
System: Systems are like this! We don't just watch and give missions to our Host, we are professionals. Pro!
Kite nodded, [ Yes yes, Wes is a very professional system. ]
System nodded and was satisfied, acting like he didn't just remembered what his work was just a while ago; I will be going, see you later, Host.
System bounced and floated away, disappearing into the ceiling.
Kite see off the system and focused on the little bun.
Louis called the maids and arrange his self to the wheelchair, after that Mikael sat on his lap and snuggled. What a cute baby.
After morning preparations, the maid pushed them to the dining room. The table was already full with foods and his parents that keeps emitting dog food and Riel who was rubbing his eyes in a dazed was already waiting for him.
"Good morning, Big Brother..."Riel said dazedly and yawned, it looks like he just woke up. Father noticed him and looked at Mikael who was in his lap. He invited me to sit, "I have something to tell you, about Mikael."Father said while looking at Mikael.
Father looked at Mother, it seems that they already talked about this. Mother nodded and Father face us.
"The truth is that... although I take that child as my son, he is as you can see, an Devin. His parents and I met before..."Father explained and begins to reminisce.
Austin is a bit timid even coming from an ancient race and family, as a young Angeli, his parents at that time signed him in the military department of Okaz Academy of Races. He can't decline because it's already decided. He felt grief and hopeless for his future. He sighed and accepted his fate.
In there, he didn't expect to have fun and sorrow experience, he didn't regret to have come to this school. He met his comrades and partner, even though he is a Devin, they got along quite well. However, while in a mission they got ambushed. They does and hide desperately, the enemy is too strong. Fortunately, he found a secluded cave, he carried his friends inside and lay them down
Ulan, his partner got severely injured by saving him and his lover, Lima is unconscious. Austin felt hopelessness, his abilities can't heal them as they were both a Devin, their potions are also depleted on the way. For now, he should calm down and give them first aid. Then he will go to find help.
Bandaging his friends, he saw Ulan opens his eyes. He tried to get up and flinched.
"Ulan, don't move for a while.."He supported his friend to sit down and saw him bleeding again, he was about to turned to get another bandage but was stopped by Ulan.
"Wait.."Ulan said while grabbing his arms, he stopped and looked at his friend. He saw his friend's pale face and weak smile. He almost cried, somehow he knew what was going to happen.
Ulan laughed weakly at his friends scrunched face, "You, I... I have something to give to you, it's very important... We.."
Before he finished what he was about to say, he saw Austin's face crying and biting his lips so he won't make a sound. Ulan smiled and looked at his beloved, he felt it. His beloved has passed away and he also... He takes a deep breath and look at his friend. Snot and tears on his face, he looks horrible, combining them with dirt however he has no wounds. He must have felt miserable not being able to save them.
Ulan takes a small necklace from his clothes and gives it to Austin, "This is.. our child.., please take of him for us? "
"Uuhhh...*sniff*"Austin repeatedly nodded and holds the necklace to his chest. Ulan smiled seeing him like this and slowly his hands fell.
Austin cried and cried at the lost of his precious friends. He looks at the necklace on his hands and was about to hide it when an explosion interrupts him. He was blasted away and lost consciousness. When he woke up, he was in the camp. Without his friends bodies and the necklace...
He sat blankly on the bed and thought, he has failed them...
Before, Ulan said to him that they wanted a child and he accompanied them to get a birth stone. For an ancient race, their reproduction is different. They need a birth stone and filled it with the couple's energy and wait for the child to be born, some may take a 100 years before having a child, that's why children are precious for them. For the couple who desired a child, they make sure that the birth stone is safe with them and sometimes disguise them as an accessories. The necklace carried the birth stone of his friends, he has to find it. Austin didn't give up on finding the necklace. Their child, is also considered as his son.
Years passed and he finally got a clue on where the necklace is however when he came, he found out that the child is already born. With his subordinates, they saw a dilapidated building, there's bodies of children inside, some are alive however most of them are already dead. In a secluded corner, he saw a kid that looks like his friend. He breathing stopped because he thought the kid is already gone and immediately run towards the kid when he saw the small chest heaving up and down.
Thank goodness, he thought as he nears the kid but his face darkens at what he saw, he was far away when he saw the boy so he didn't notice his situation. A boy so small, with scars and bruises on his body. With dull red eyes and black hair with mud on them. He was lying lifelessly, it was like Austin saw his friends lifeless body again.
He trembled in anger, how could they do this to a child?
He suppressed it and carefully carried the child, he was so light. The child didn't even move, he's just like a doll without life.
Austin grits his teeth, he will make them pay for what they did to his friends and their child. Whoever they may be. He's not a small soldier who can't protect his friends, it's different now. When he find them, he'll crush them to pieces. He thought as he walked to his car and go home. First, let's give first aid and bandage his wounds..
What he didn't expect was, his timidity came back when faced with his family.
Father finished the story and while holding Mother's hands.
"It's alright, Darling. We'll make them pay, okay? "Mother just said some scary words right there, while ignoring us, Mother hugged Father and kisses his forehead, Father hugged Mother's waist. You guys seriously flirted in front of your children, you lovey-dovey parents!
[ I didn't know this has a hidden plot. ] Kite thought while blankly looking at his flirting parents. He looked at the little boy in his arms who was playing with his hands. He doesn't seem to care about what Father said. It looks like he was more interested in my hands though.
He sighed, Wes said this was an easy world but it feels so complicated. I feel like this is not the only hidden plot. Ah I can see work piling up...
Since then, Riel is not so mean to Mikael anymore and he often invite him to play with him. Mother also makes sweets for us everytime. It seems she took a liking to Mikael as she often squeeze-- hugs him.
Louis was reading Mikael a storybook, a few days ago, he found out that the little boy like books and can read. So right now, they are in the library sprawled in the carpet reading.
While listening to Mikael read, he saw a bright blue eyes peeking at them. The owner of the eyes looked shocked when he found that Louis saw him and hides in the shelves but after a while, peeked again.
Louis laughs amusedly, [ These kids are so cute. ]
He gestures for Riel to come and join them, Riel hesitantly comes out. Carrying a book and called out to Mikael, "This...You.. I..."Stuttering and with red cheeks, Riel felt shy.
"Hello..."Riel whispered, the voice is so small Louis almost didn't hear it. He smiled and looked at Mikael.
Mikael was looking at the blonde boy before him, he looks a lot like Louis but he likes Louis more. He just nodded in response.
Riel grinned at him, he already accept Mikael as his brother but still felt shy about it. He immediately showed the book he was holding, " I saw that you like reading, this one has an interesting story! Later, when you finish reading. Let's play in the garden, I'll let you see my plants! "
Riel, contrary to his attitude and appearance, likes gardening and he's also good at it. Every plant he managed grew well. Mikael who can only show a bit of smile, nodded expressionless at Riel's invitation but his eyes were light..
Louis smiled while looking at them with a gentle and warm gaze, [ This is great, Mikael can improve and they won't hate each other like in the plot. ]
Kite feel like they are enjoying reading and open the system panel, he thought back of Riel's blackening which didn't happen and what could possibly the cause of it. He read the plot again thoroughly and he found some clues.
The kidnapping incident was not mentioned in the plot, how would you kidnapped a child from a very guarded community and escaped without anyone noticing? What did they use? The answer to these questions might be related to the bug.
As Louis was deeply thinking of these questions, the two boys noticed their Big Brother occupied and looking seriously at the floor.
They looked at each other and saw their own confused face. What is Big Brother thinking about?
They sat up and closed the book, "Kael, let's go outside? "Riel said while looking at Louis's worried face and pulled Mikael. Mikael didn't struggle and nodded. While playing together, they talk about Louis and got closer. As a fellow brother who loves their Big Brother, they should work together and care for each other. Just now, they noticed that he might be lonely without them so they will invite him to play with them to make him happy.
"Big Brother! " Louis snapped out of his thought when he heard Riel and turned the wheel chair around to face them. He saw them walking towards him, it seems like he wandered too far from them. He didn't noticed, the kids probably got worried for him.
*** (1.5)
" What is it? "Louis said when they got to him, Riel together with Mikael pushed his wheelchair outside the library.
"Eh, where are we going? " He said while trying to see them. Mikael didn't answer, he's a quiet child, he only answers when they're alone while Riel is busy pushing him, his face red from exhaustion. He was worried the kids would feel tired after this so he tried to make them stop but they already arrived at the garden.
There are many different flowers and plants, in the small corner of their garden, there's a pavilion where a small pond with fishes lives. Inside, a table with 5 chairs are arranged when they wanted to relax and enjoy the fresh air.
"We'll show you something! You wait here, okay! "Riel said while pulling Mikael with him. Louis looked at their disappearing figures and sighed. Cute kids are really energetic. Ah he's a kid now too.
Louis who realizes he was a kid again and despaired at the situation was shocked when he saw many butterflies emerging from bushes from where Riel and Mikael left.
Different color of butterflies flew and surrounded the garden then he saw them coming back, both holding a flower in their small hands. Smiling while running towards him, Riel gave the flower to him. Dumbfounded, he accepted the flower. The flower is a beautiful blue and golden in color, it's almost shining. Then he saw Mikael walking slowly and with red ears coming towards him, he stopped and seems hesitant in the middle. Riel noticed and immediately go pulls Mikael with him.
Mikael with a completely red face handed him a violet, red and black flower. Different from Riel's flower which shines with light, the flower Mikael gave was glowing and beautiful like the sky before dawn.
Holding the two flowers, he looked at them. Holding hands, the two of them with stars in their eyes looked at Louis. He couldn't stop the smile from his lips and the happiness passing through his heart, [ These kids will be lady-killers in the future. ]
"Thank you, Riel, Mikael. "He said as he manually rolled his wheelchair closer and hugged them. Ah he's really lucky to have cute and sweet little brothers.
Father also called the previous doctor over, he conducted examinations to Mikael to see if there's any complications and check if his body if still okay.
"This child, while his body is healthy even after suffering physical pain, a Devin's body is sturdy, those kidnappers didn't do much to him, these are minor injuries for a Devin, it's probably to prevent him from escaping but he probably has mental trauma because of this and might affect his views in the future.."The doctor frowned as he talked to them. He also told them about the possible medicine helpful for bruises.
Mikael is in a separate room from them. Mother and Riel is with him so Father talks to the doctor and Louis insist on going too. When he look at the records of Mikael from the doctor, he felt horrible and sad for Mikael who was still small to experience this.
Louis felt father pat his head, "Don't worry, Mikael will be okay from now on. We're here for him. "He said and Louis nodded. Father is right, they will be Mikael's family from now on, they will definitely protect him. Reassured, Louis looked up and was about to thank him but paused when he saw Father's evil grin looking at the files. He immediately closed the files and excused himself.
"We'll make those bastard's pay for this..."Louis heard his father whispered as he closes the door. He breathe out of relief, that was scary.
***
After a few months, Mikael's health already stabilize however the doctor is still worried of his trauma. He recommended a calming tea for now and will come back when he produces a potion that can help them. Father agreed and thanked the doctor. The doctor shakes his head and said goodbye.
For now, Louis decided to go to their library, he can walk normally now though he can't run around immediately. The Angelis Mansion is so big, it's tiring walking around. He still can't use his abilities normally.
[ I should at least study, they will send us to school soon. I don't know anything aside from the plot and although I have the original's memory. I have to at least refresh what he has studied, properly. ] Kite thought as he brushed his fingers on the books on the shelves.
Louis found a book about the history of this world. He opened it and leaned on the shelves. After reading it for a few hours, it mentioned the different race's hardships and finding this world on the way. The books content, in short was that a thousand years ago, the people of this world -- the human was found by many races coming from different worlds. The different races world was destroyed and they went on a journey to find a new home and encountered the human whose world was peaceful and bountiful. They decided to stay here but found that there are also many races who coveted this place and such war happens. For 20 years, they continued to fight for ownership for this world only to stop because of fear from destroying the world. The poor humans who originally lived here make them signed a treaty, to live in peace and to sealed most of their abilities as to avoid bringing destruction. Then the war ended.
Louis closed the book and looked at the book with suspicions then sighed exasperatedly, [ This absurd plot is so...]
He can't find the right word to define this. In the first place, just where did they come from and how come they found this world at the same time? It's like a storybook, not a history book. He looked around, he suspected that this is not a real history book, maybe the owner is near. He thought.
Louis decided to forget this one and put the book back to its place and find other books to read.
When Louis left, a blonde boy sneakily appeared and take the book of history that Louis was reading before, "I forgot this here, fortunately Big Brother didn't noticed something..." He said and flip the book and open the back. In there, underneath a piece of paper something was written.
Riel's Personally Written, Goal to Become A Writer: The Strongest Race -- Part 3 (Ongoing)
Louis came back to see where the previous book was and saw Riel, he stopped and looked at the kid who was carrying the book and notepad writing furiously. He didn't seem to notice him coming closer and peeked at what he's doing.
He came to a realization and thought wryly, [This kid, aside from his hobby of gardening, he also has a hobby of writing novels? ]
So that's why the content of the book looks like an a part of a martial arts novel. Louis decided to leave and not disturb him. He already found the right books, although in Riel's book there's some part that are similar from the history. Looks like he studied this and included them in his novel. He smiled amusedly and warmly at his little brother's crouching figure.
[ Well, it's his hobby. Let's not disturb him.] After Louis came back from the library, Mikael greeted him with a hug. Since Father let him sleep together with him, the kid was much more cheerful although expressionless.
Mikael narrowed his eyes and looked up at his Big Brother, he is really happy to be always be with him.
Days passed peacefully like this. Laughter filled the Angelis Mansion.
Years passed and they will be going to school soon, although Louis and Riel is few years apart. The truth is that they're twins, just Riel is born a few years late than Louis. This also made their parents worry because they thought he wouldn't be born. After all, they have waited for a 100 years for them.
However, even if technically Louis and Riel is twins, they will be out in different grades because of their age. Before the accident, Louis already started school and stopped because of being hospitalized. Today, they will leave to go to their respective departments. Mikael choose to be in the military department while Riel is in the arts department. Louis has already passed the advancement exam to compensate the years when he was in rehabilitation.
Mikael and Riel is an adult now. Mikael remains the same clingy boy and Riel has a girlfriend now. It seems that the relationship of the leads is right in track with the plot. Riel's previous wife, the female lead. She's quite cute too. Louis looked at them flirting like his parents, his cute little brother is so big now...
He might cry so he just hugged Mikael and Mikael also returned the hug to him happily. Although he's also big, he's still the same has that expressionless face. Though sometimes he smiled which is very cute.
Louis sighs, they're going to separate soon. Riel's department is in another region and although he and Mikael is in the place, their buildings are miles apart. He's going to miss that rowdy kid.
At 18, Mikael with his black hair and his eyes which turned a bit yellowish red looked sexy and aloof while Riel who has this scholarly aura with his blonde hair and blue ocean eyes compete the ethereal look. Louis smiled warmly at them.
Riel saw his Big Brother smiling at them and blocked his eyes because it's too bright, his brother's looks amazing as always, though he sometimes looked expressionless actually he was just in a daze. His brother definitely didn't notice the servants look, especially when he smile like that. He looked at Mikael and hinted at him to better protect their brother from molesters. Mikael nodded faintly at him and relieved, he say goodbye to their parents and hugged them. He turned to Louis and hugged him too.
" Take care, brother. "He said and take his girlfriend's hand to leave. They don't need a vehicle since they can fly. Angeli's abilities are many but most of them are sealed by the treaty, normally they can fly with their white wings but now they can only fly without it because it's too conspicuous. Plus It's a region away they have to cross the sea so it's allowed to use their abilities.
Louis watch them fly away. This time they will be safe, that region is where the Angeli race gathers so the culprit will have a hard time if they plan to do harm on Riel. He looked at Mikael who was also looking at the sky. He will protect Mikael, since the culprit is still not caught and they have no clue on who is the mastermind of the kidnapping incident that time. He won't let him be alone.
*** (1.6)
"Let's go too? "He asked. Mikael nodded and they board a car to the Academy. It will take a few days before they arrive. It's not suggested to use an ability if not needed.
In a desolate region of Okaz, a building was hidden behind the trees. A man was seated beside the window and the light shone on him making him looked gentle and soft. At this moment, the moon his behind the clouds, and the smooth glass windows reflected the man. A long platinum hair lays on his shoulders and his dark blue eyes flutters open.
He seemed to remember something good so he laughed, his voice sounds like a gentle breeze that calms the mind.
"It's so good. " He said.
Looking outside the floor to ceiling window, the man looked arrogantly down at all being and contrary to the gentle smile on his face, his eyes showed madness.
" Looks like it's about time for our little boy to go back? "
On the way to the Academy, they passed by a park and decided to rest there for a while.
Louis and Mikael got down from the car. He found that there is a festival going around the corner, the festive music and many people are celebrating the foundation of the treaty.
" Today is the Foundation if the Treaty! Welcome! " A girl in her twenties greeted them suddenly and gave them flowers. She passed by them and gave everyone on the street flowers.
Looking at the flower which looks like a rose bit colored like the galaxy. He's curious about the origin of this flower but first they have to enjoy this. When they start the class, they will be busy with schoolworks they won't have time to have fun.
Louis looked at Mikael who was also looking at the flower curiously. He noticed that they were several people looking at Mikael and felt proud that his child is so good-looking. Louis didn't notice the doting expression on his face.
Mikael noticed and his eyes stared intently at him, liking the way Louis's eyes brightens and narrowed in a smile when he looked at him. He felt inexplicably warm in his chest but he doesn't know what is it, he blinked and the feeling disappeared before he grasped it.
Louis pulled him to eat and dance together with him, they also saw a store filled with trinkets and souvenirs. He decided to buy something for Mikael as a souvenir.
Louis found a necklace with a sky blue stone, he picked it up and scrutinized it. He noticed that the stone change colors and liked it. He bought it and put it on Mikael's neck. He stepped back and thought, It suits him.
Mikael lightly swept across the necklace. It was cold but nice to the touch.His eyes brightens as he looked at Louis earnestly.
" Thank you.." Mikael hoarsely said. He felt stifled in his chest, he can't describe this feeling. It's not just happiness but something else. He wanted to hug Louis, wanted to taste Louis's slightly puckered lips, he wanted to be more..
Confused, Mikael caress the stone's texture. He can't understand this feeling but it feels good and... hard to endure?
" Glad you like it. " Louis was delighted that Mikael like his gift. He looked at the sky and found that it's almost dark soon, they have to go back to the car or else they will be late for the entrance ceremony.
"Let's go. " He said and hold Mikael's hand. Mikael let him lead him and got to the car.
The next day, they managed to get to the school before the start of the ceremony. They get their uniforms, dormroom keys and class before going to the plaza where the ceremony would be held. They separate ways as they have different departments and bid goodbye to each other.
After the ceremony, the classes started immediately. Louis almost had no time to check on Mikael but they always see each other as Louis's department is managing the healing for the military department. When they saw each other, they would exchange smiles. The day passed like this.
Arriving at his room, Mikael can't stop his lips from curving. He's really happy today. He looked at Louis's gift for him and he narrowed his eyes in happiness. Feeling good, he went straight to bed and thought of Louis. He hold the necklace and fell asleep in no time.
In the dark, Mikael noticed that he came back from the past, he was in a Laboratory with many people surrounding him, giving him unknown medicine and him trying to resist. He watched blankly as he saw his self crying from pain.
After years of suffering from their hands, he was released together with a bunch of kid who was about to die and saw his self being found by Mr. Angelis and brought back in their mansion. After that...
After that, he destroyed the world.
Mikael frowned from pain. He opened his eyes abruptly and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling. He got up, the look in his eyes different from the usual. It look more fierce and dull.
[ Where is this? ] He thought. He observed the room and rubbed his forehead. Some memories are appearing, memories that are different from what he knew. In there, there's no Louis...
He groaned from pain. He hold his head and thought of that person. Louis never appeared in there at all. He curl his red lips and laugh, looking cold and go to the window. It was still dark.
Mikael's change went unnoticed since he never talked and always aloof, he went to class everyday however ever since that day, he never met with Louis.
This made Louis worried that something might have happen to him and so, he visited him after class. He called Mikael and told him that he's going to visit, Mikael agreed to meet up downstairs.
Waiting for Mikael to come, he leaned on the tree. Many students saw him and can't help but take a second look because he look so beautiful under the sunshine that peeks from the leaves of the tree like, he looked ethereal.
When Louis saw Mikael, he smiled and pulled him under the shade. He tilted his head and somehow felt wrong from Mikael.
" Well, you guys are busy? " He asked. Mikael just nodded and slowly remove his arms from Louis's hold. Louis didn't mind and tried to talk to him but the Mikael today didn't respond to him at all, he suspected that something really happened to him. He reached out and tried to touch him but Mikael avoided and stepped to the side.
He blinked. His slowly takes back his hand and looked at Mikael, he looked desolate and indifferent. He frowned.
" Is there something wrong? Did someone bully you? " He worriedly ask and hold his hands. Mikael seemed repulsed by his touch and pushed him away. He looked coldly at him.
"You don't need to baby me, I'm already an adult. "Mikael firmly said to him.
Louis looked at him shocked.
"I-I'm sorry.. I thought.."Louis looked sad as he said this. That's right, the villain is an adult now and don't need him to always care for. He must have felt suffocated because of him. He sighed and smiled wryly.
"I'll go, you take care. "Louis said and left. He didn't notice that when he turns his back to Mikael, the teenager's expression change.
I have to change my attitude, Kite thought as he was walking away, maybe because it's my first world that I'm anxious to save him. After all, I care for him like my brother. He sighs and talked about what he should do with the system.
Mikael watch as Louis got farther away from him and clenched his hands as he suppressed the urge to stop him. His eyes flashed and turned back to normal.
[This can't do, why would I be stopping him? Ridiculous.] He sneered and go back to his room. As he turned back, he can't help but glanced back to where Louis go. He subconsciously bit his lips and didn't notice the pain. The conflicting feelings inside didn't go away even when Louis's figure disappeared.
Coming back from the dormitory of Mikael, Louis sat on his bed and let his body fall down on the bed.
[ Mikael is an adult now and he won't destroy the world so all I have to do is to find the bug and this world is considered finished...] Kite thought while looking at the ceiling, he realized that he will leave this world soon and that it is not his reality. He has indulge in the world too much. Thinking like this, he slowly falls asleep.
Opening his eyes, he realized that he is not in his room and the surroundings is somewhat foggy. He suddenly saw his self, no, Kite saw Louis before the accident. He remembered, in Louis's memory that he didn't manage to get after all this time. Is it.. the time of the accident?
That's right, at that time...
They were in a vacation and his parents suddenly got a call and came back to the capital, leaving them with a bunch of guards. Louis and Riel were playing in the garden and after a while, Louis decided to get snacks for them and left. He felt reassured since there's so many guards to protect his brother.
After getting the snacks, Louis head back to the garden and found that the servants are all unconscious and his little brother is gone.
The tray he's holding fell down and the food and plates smashed, the sound felt loud as the surrounding is so quiet. A faint smell was left, he thought that it must be a new drug for the effect to be effective to the guards and servants and take his brother without a sound. He immediately covered his nose, the effect to him was weak since his body is immune to drugs.
Louis looked around the garden and the surroundings. He noticed a small shrimp toy that he has given to his little brother as a gift and took it.
He's quite far away from their garden now but he must find his little brother or else he will regret it if something happened to him. He heard a sound from behind the bushes. He crouched down and peeked from the leaves.
"We got them."A group of three guys suddenly appeared with two sacks on their back. Louis suspects that one of them might be his little brother..
"Let's go." The other guy said and his accomplice nodded. They enter the van and started the car.
He squeezed the toy and ran towards them, he uses his ability and managed to get ahold of the car and hide in the roof.
[It doesn't matter what will happen to him, he must save his little brother and the other kid. ]Louis thought as he stilled himself to save them.
*** (1.7)
[First, I should contact, Pa and Ma. ] He pressed the small button in the toy and contact his parents. At this time, they should know where they are. However there's not much time, after all Louis is still just a kid and can't do much. If this kidnappers arrive at their headquarters, he's done. That's why, he should do it before they got there.
[They must have been worried, I'm sorry for being impulsive. ] Louis thought and immediately tried to stop the van. He kicked the windows and entered through them, he kicked one of them in the head and the guy's head slammed into the side making a loud noise and fell down unconscious.
" You bastards, how could you take my cute baby brother huh!? " He shouted angrily when he saw his brother is safe, only unconscious. He relaxed.
The kidnappers were shocked but they immediately tried to grabbed him. He ducked and pulls the small knife from the toy and stabbed the guy in his heart.
As a child from one of the famous race, they were equipped and trained to protect themselves when times needed because they have many enemies and their lives are always in danger.
The guy fell down and Louis looked at the last guy who was driving, the guy grits his teeth and steered the van to the cliff which shocks Louis. He immediately reacted and grabbed the two sacks and hugged them.
Louis wanted to smack himself, he should have reacted faster and stop the guy. As he thought of this, the van fell down the cliff.
Louis woke up, he looked at the the ceiling and felt his shirt sweaty. He massage his aching head and thought about the memory. He called the system and a ball of fluff suddenly appeared.
[ Wes, is this related to the bug? ] He asked and think that it is possible because if this kidnapping didn't happen then the world won't be destroyed. The mastermind must have planned this to happen but why use them? Also it seems that he didn't manage to save Mikael, just what happened after that fall?
System: Host, this might be related to the bug. I can't access this part of the plot. It must have a very strong control over this world.
Wes glowed faintly, he found out that there is something wrong with the data of this world. He also found that he can't access the data properly. He's worried that his Host will be facing a strong bug. Thankfully, as long as he found it, he can destroy it and turn the world back to normal.
Kite nodded and looked at the window, it's already morning. He's already late for class. He sat up and found that he didn't manage to change his clothes last night. Remembering Mikael's face, he sighed.
The child is already an adult and hates Big Brother for caring too much.
He stand up and go to the bathroom to wash up and get ready for school, he should leave the child alone for now and focus on finding the bug.
Arriving at the classroom, he was greeted at the door by Unn and Sal and put their arms in his shoulders.
"You guys are heavy. " He said expressionlessly and removing their arms in his shoulders and go to his table. These guys are always annoying him. Although strong, he is really unlucky that these are his teammates. After taking his seat beside the window, he saw them following and grinned, "We miss you, pal! "
"We met yesterday. " He answered not ignoring them and take out his books, getting ready for the class to start and opened his math book. Unfortunately, even if he ignores them, they were also his seatmates. Avoiding is useless. Might as well accept it.
Louis sighed and just focused on the formulas. Unn and Sal pouted and take a seat beside him. Since the first day, they noticed Louis from the crowd and wanted to invite him to be their friends because he looks so soft and easy to talk to, luckily so, the instructor has assigned him in their team. Although he often looks at them, annoyed, he didn't avoid them and this makes them happy.
He and Sal is actually a half brothers, their mother is a human and they had different fathers however they grew up together and naturally treat each other as family. He, is from a descendants of beast tribe, werecats and his brother, Sal is a half human-vampire. The bloodlines of their races only shows when they use their abilities and most of the time they look like an ordinary human.
Unn heard that an Angeli is arrogant but kind and luckily encountered one and so he wanted to confirm it, must be a cat's curiosity?
Sal is probably just happy that he can be friends with someone. It's been ages since someone is willing to talk to them since they are halflings. In this school where they respected those of pure bloodlines, few wanted to talk to them and almost all of them just get close to them to invite them to be their subordinates.
Looking at their blonde friend, he smiled mischievously and immediately faced in front when he noticed the instructor came.
Mikael who was hiding behind the branches in the tree saw all of this and broke the branch he was holding on.
He didn't know why he's here and why he was eavesdropping. He just suddenly wanted to go in a different way to class and just coincidentally came here. Looking at Louis who didn't notice him. He didn't noticed the time and heard the bell rings. Mikael realized that he has already stayed here all afternoon and looked conflicted as he again look at Louis who was preparing to leave with his teammates.
Time passed and he still didn't leave on the tree he was hiding on. Mikael was in deep thoughts and didn't notice someone in his back, he snapped and was about to turn around but felt faint. He saw a man wearing a mask and smelled something sweet before fainting.
After leaving the classroom, Louis felt that he saw Mikael's silhouette from the window and went back to check but didn't see anyone. He tilted his head and thought that he may have seen wrong.
He didn't notice that Mikael was already carried by the man in the van and drove away.
The next day, Louis found a letter in his table. When he read the letter, his face darkens.
[ Dear Louis,
Please come here to get your precious Mikael? Or else we might do something wrong to him. Please come immediately, okay?
From you admirer, Frid. ]
In the back, he saw a map and the location. He stands up, pushed the letter to his pocket and go out of the room. Thankfully, it's break now so he can go out. He go straight to his room.
Unn and Sal saw him hurriedly walking and followed him.
" Did something happened? "Sal asked Unn as they sneakily follow Louis. Unn looked at Louis's worried face and nodded.
Louis was sure that the sender of this letter must be the bug, he's worried that he'd do something to Mikael. As he was almost running, he didn't notice the letter in his pocket to fall.
Unn and Sal saw a paper fall from Louis's pocket and pick it up. Their face sank as they read the letter. They looked at each other and nodded.
This is the only friend they have, they can't possibly lose him. They followed him into the dorm and enter his room. They saw him putting things in a bag. He didn't seem to notice them yet.
"I'll go find him, he wants me. "Louis thought out loud as he take everything he need in his bag and was about to leave when Unn grabbed his arms. He saw him frowning. Wait, why are they here?
When Unn and Sal heard him say that, they got really worried. Louis looks so weak, if he go alone what will happen to him?
"We'll help too, " Unn said and Sal nodded beside him determined to follow him. Louis shakes his head and ignored the fact that the must have followed him here. He saw the letter in Unn's hand and take it. They must have seen the content.
"It's dangerous-- " Unn stopped him before he finished and said.
" You're too weak, we'll help you, alright? " Almost pleading, Unn looked at him frustrated. He wanted to help him.
" We're friends, right? " Sal added. Putting his arms in his shoulders. Louis looked at them and sighed. It's true that he's weak, all he can do is heal and run. He hesitated.
" You guys can come but..."Sal interrupted him this time.
" Yes yes, we won't get hurt. Aside from that, you're here right? "
He sighed, though they are annoying sometimes, they're really reliable at times like this. He found good friends, who will be with him through thick or thin.
He smiled, "Thank you. "
He turned and opened the door, he looked back to see that the twins was petrified and not moving, looking at him wide eyed.
" What? "He asked, confused at their reactions.
Unn covered his face, his ears felt hot and Sal grinned with a slightly red face.
'Louis looked really good when he smile.' They thought as they followed him out.
Outside the Academy, they saw a silhouette walking straight to them and take a fighting stance.
When light hits the man, Louis recognized him and dumbly asked, "You, what are you doing here? "
The man shrugged, " I can't possibly let my brothers to die you know? I can at least fight a bit. Don't stop me, I already talked to Ma and Pa. "
Louis helplessly looked at him, though he already informed their parents and they must have planned something but he didn't expect this. Wouldn't Riel be in danger if he come?
Seeing the concern in his Big Brother's eyes, he shook his head. This Big Brother of his worries for others but not his self. It makes them, who cherished him, really worried.
Their parents already gathered and talked to their subordinates about this. No matter what, they won't let Louis or Mikael in harm and to make sure that Louis won't do something drastic, they made him come.
Riel knew that his brother is someone who's really hard to persuade when he is determined to do something, like that time when he got kidnapped. Without anyone, he just jumped and save him. Not caring for his own safety.
*** (1.8)
He looked at the two people he saw on his brother and saw that they looked at him up and down, eyebrows raised. They were at ease when they saw Louis recognized him and protected him intently without lowering their guard. He nodded to them, satisfied. His brother's teammates at least can protect him.
"Let's go? " He said to his brother and removed the seal on his wings. They already got permission to use their abilities for this mission. Louis nodded as he got no choice, even if he refused. This child will just follow him secretly. It's better for him to be with them than be alone.
Louis looked at Riel who already taken out his white wings and looked at him, he got ready to released the seal on his wings. Kite is really worried, what if the wings malfunction on the way?
Wes was dumbfounded at his Host's thought, what did you think an Angeli's wings are? A machine?
He took a deep breath and felt a little lighter when the seal was removed, he tilted his head and felt something coming out from his back. He tried to flapped his wings and saw feathers floating out and check his wings. It's really white and looks soft. He touched it and it tickled him. It seems that their wings are quite sensitive.
" I'll take this guy and you take that one? " Louis said as he finished checking his wings.
Unn and Sal snapped out of their thoughts after they heard him. This is the first time they saw an Angeli with his wings, though they did feel amazed at Riel's but Louis was... different. He looked so beautiful with his white wings, he's almost glowing.
He looked like an actual angel seen in the picture books and the kind that has gentle and kind eyes. They realized that they really is an Angels from the ancient times and living as humans in this world.
Riel looked at the two bastards with mouth open looking at his brother, they looked intoxicated. He wanted to beat them out but he can't win so he just grabbed the two of them and fly.
" Ahhhh, wait wait! " Sal shouted as they were dangling in the sky, seeing how high they were. He tightly grabbed Riel's arms looked at his brother, Unn fainted.
Louis followed them immediately and looked at Riel carrying the two. He tried to take one of them but Riel avoided him.
"I can carry them, don't worry. I can even carry a mountain, you know? "He said smugly. Louis looked at the twins who looked disheveled and just nodded.
Flying through the skies, they arrived at the location given to them and landed. The moment Louis landed, the seal came back and his wings disappeared.
" It's only a temporary removal. "Riel said and put the two who was shaken the entire journey to the ground. He landed and his wings also disappeared.
He looked around and saw a building, if he didn't know that there's something here he might have not noticed it.
"Let's rest here, they won't try anything for a while. " Louis said as he also found the building. That's where Mikael is, he wants to immediately go but the twins is still uncomfortable. If they went like this, they will be in more danger. He has to be patient. He bit his lips and gripped his hands into fist.
[ Wes, can you see where Mikael's location inside? ] Kite asked the system. Wes scanned the building and reply to his Host.
System: Host, I can't sense anything inside that building. The bug must be inside.
Kite nodded, [ As expected. They are inside. ]
Louis is sure that they are inside. The culprit has baited him to come here, they must have prepared a trap.
A short while later, Unn and Sal woke up. They realized what happened and covered their faces, It's embarrassing but they fainted.
" Here, water. " They looked at Louis who passed them the water jug. Unn sighed and accepted it. They noticed a building not far away.
'It must that one.' Unn thought as he drinks. He passed it to Sal and asked Louis.
" Are we going inside? " Louis nodded and packed up. They stand up and walked inside the building. It was empty inside but it's clean. They suddenly saw a big screen coming from the ceiling.
They readied their abilities in case something happens. Louis gripped his bags as he watched it slowly go down.
After finally coming down, a man's face appeared from the screen. With long platinum hair and dark blue eyes, they realized he is an Angeli but not of pure blood.
The man smiled, " Hello, guests. I'm Frid Borealis. Nice to see you. "With a friendly and gentle voice, he greeted them but his eyes were chillingly cold.
They didn't answer and just looked at him coldly.
" Where is Mikael? "Louis asked.
The man, Frid, chuckles.
" Really fierce, if you continue being like that you'll get hurt you know? Just like before "
Louis knew that he was the mastermind of the kidnapping accident but Riel didn't and got angry.
" What do you mean!? " Riel has a premonition that it's related to him. Louis patted his shoulders and he calms down but still felt bad.
" Ah, you didn't know? I'll explain it to you then. " Frid seems delighted that Riel's expression of despair.
" You see, Louis here got into an accident and was comatose because of you.. it's all you fault you brother almost died ah.." He taunted and Riel gritted his teeth.
He knows that because of him, his brother almost died. Until now, it remains as a scar in his heart. At that time, everytime he saw his brother lying on the bed with many machines on him, not moving and pale, it hurts him. He thought that maybe if his brother didn't save him, he wouldn't be in this situation where they don't know when he'll wake up or die instead.
A dark hue flashed in Riel's eyes. It was about to covered him but stopped when Louis grabbed hold of his arms and hugged him. He put his hands on his head and let his head on his shoulders. He patted his back gently and looked at the man on the screen hatefully. For now, he has to coax this child.
" That's not true, it's not your fault. You are big brother's cute little brother,how could I let you be taken by bad guys? It's that lunatic's fault. Let's just ignore him, let's go. "Louis softly said and pulled Riel out of this hall together with Unn and Sal. They heard a small chuckle but didn't look back.
When they got out of that place, Louis immediately holds Riel's face. Riel looked pale and his wet eyes looked at him pitifully. Unn and Sal looked away and acts like they never existed. This is a family matter, they won't meddle.
Louis frowned and dotingly patted Riel's back. This man is still like a child like this. Still his baby ah
" It's true. How could I let my cute baby brother get taken away? I'll beat them up if need be. " Riel laughed at this and hugged his big brother tightly. He remembered that his brother really beaten those guys up. At that time, he faintly heard them getting beaten up and Louis's angry voice.
" You bastards, how could you take my cute baby brother huh!? "
Riel narrowed his eyes in happiness. Big Brother will always be his protector, he's glad to have him. He suddenly felt his phone vibrating, he checked it and found that it's their parents message.
[ We can't enter €¢&@.. Please be safe. ] His face sank when he saw the message, it seems that they can't get outside help. Louis also saw the message and was silent.
[ This is dangerous, I shouldn't have let them come with me. ] He thought
" Help! Please! " They suddenly heard a sound from a far. The looked at each other and walked to that sound. It's a straight hallway without any windows or doors, they have no choice but to walk that way. When they arrived at the end of the hallway, their eyes widened in shock. Louis gasped.
They were many different races in a cell, like a prison. They were shouting for help, some are screaming from pain and some are just staring, already hopeless.
" What... " Louis is really angry right now. This is inhumane. How could they do this?
He tried to calm himself and looked around, he found a machine and felt that this might be the one managing this prison-like place and told this to the others.
" Let's destroy it. " Sal said seriously, he looked at the people in the cell and Unn nodded. They destroyed the machine and all the bars of the cell disappeared.
The prisoners can't believe what happened and stayed where they are. They watched this happened and leave. They can't force them to escape or else even if they go out of this place, they will still be bound in prison.
They entered another hallway and saw another screen. They looked blankly at the man on the screen.
'This guy, he's so bored to put many screens on every ceiling in this place?' They thought.
Frid smiled and changed the view to a man with black hair, chained. Louis expression change, " What did you do to him? " He asked coldly.
Frid didn't answer and just laughed. The screen blank out. Louis was frustrated, they have to find Mikael soon.
" Let's find him quickly. " He looked at others and they nodded. They decided to search every room, fast.
Kite thought of Louis's hidden ability. Louis is a unique Angeli, one who has a unique ability aside from his average healing ability and flight. And that will be Kite's triumph card to defeat Frid.
Running through the empty hallways, they check every room to see if Mikael is there.
" Ah, he's not either~ "An ingratiating voice comes out from the speakers and the camera focused on them. Frid who was watching this laughed happily.
Louis and the others ignored this and continue to search. They entered a room filled with scattered papers, they checked the papers if it has any clues to where Mikael is. Louis stopped when he saw a file named Mikael and saw his picture inside. Ha gasped at what he saw.
Brainwashing. Torture. Experiment...
He blanked out.
Riel who noticed Louis stopped immediately come to him and saw him staring at a file, his expression change when he saw the content. Pictures of Mikael during his stay on this place was in the files, it looked horrible. Mikael with his small body glittered with scars and dull eyes.
*** (1.9)
Riel take the file in Louis's hands and checked it throughly, he found a 'Failed' stamp on the papers and gritted his teeth in anger. Unn and Sal was silent when they saw the papers.
This is a major matter, this violates the treaty that was signed 1000 years ago. To hurt and harm other races and instigate for war to happen. That man, Frid, is a madman, he wants war. He wants to destroy the world. He obviously put these papers here as evidence for his violations and let the different races blame and pour their anger on the Angeli race using their allied race, the Devin so that when war happens, no one will be able to stop them. They will mutually destroy each other until nothing was left.
A paper fell out from the pile and Louis picked it up, he saw what was written.
[ Corruption Successful. The subject can be released. ]
He gripped the paper in anger. They hurt Mikael and many people like this.
Now, Kite knew how this world was destroyed. It's not Mikael's fault. He is actually just controlled by the real mastermind, he didn't resist because he hates the world. No one cared for him, no one loves him. He is just a child.
Tears swelled up on his eyes as he tried to stop his self from sobbing. This world is so cruel to him, why can't it be destroyed? He must have thought like that. Without anyone giving him love, he must have curled up from pain when he's alone.
He wipes his eyes and looked at Riel, Unn and Sal. They looked at him concerned. He smiled and put the paper in the table.
[ This bastard. I'm going to kill him ] Louis thought darkly.
Corruption. This word means that they have blocked his emotions but not completely. It will just obstruct few feelings of the subject depending on the controller of the corruption. He knows that Frid has the control of Mikael's corruption. Louis didn't know what emotions that bastard blocked but he will kill him so it didn't matter.
Mikael opened his eyes but it's still dark. He tried to move and found that he was chained. His face darkens. This didn't happen to him in the previous life, what happened?
He calmly looked around and wait until his eyes got used to the darkness. He saw a man sitting not far away from him, drinking tea.
He remembered this man, it's this man who help him destroying the world. What is he doing?
He's watching something in a big screen turned away from him. He seems to be enjoying what he's seeing. The man seems to noticed his gaze and looked at him.
" Ah You're awake! Great! I'll invite them here then. " Tha man said as he push a button on the wall and a door suddenly appeared.
The door burst opened an his eyes widened when he saw Louis enter from outside.
Louis and the others is still trying to find Mikael, running in the hallway. He stopped when a door suddenly appeared. They looked at each other and Sal kicked the door opened.
Louis entered and saw Mikael chained. He stopped and looked at the man sitting drinking tea. Frid looked at them happily.
" At last, you came! Come come come, I'll let you see something good. " He said with a mad look in his eyes. He raised his right hand and a black haze surrounded them. Louis looked at Mikael who was also surrounded and found that he was also looking at him. He smiled encouragingly and the haze completely surrounds them.
In the black haze, Louis was alone. He saw Frid appearing from the side and looked at him guardedly. Frid laughed at him.
" I wanted to see for a long time ago. "Frid started, he walked near him and circled him. Louis frowned at him and gripped his bag.
"Louis is my dream ah. Since Mikael saw you, his feelings overflowed to me.. it's a really good feeling. " Intoxicated, Frid said as he stared at him intently. Louis felt uncomfortable from his gaze and looked away.
' What feelings did Mikael felt? This means that he's the controller, all the blocked emotions will go to him' Louis thought as he find a way to escape this black haze.
" Say, how about you be with me instead? "
" Huh? " Louis was dumbfounded at what Frid said and looked at him stupidly.
Frid looked like what he said makes sense, smiled gently and nodded.
" Be with me. " He said again and held Louis's neck. Like if he refused, he will snapped his neck the next second. He was about to respond when the black haze disappeared and Frid looked disappointedly at Mikael who was raging in anger.
" Don't touch him! " He tried to remove the chains but it's useless. Frid looked at him amusedly after seeing him so angry and tightened his hold on Louis's neck.
Louis felt suffocated and gasped. He looked at Mikael and the others who was suddenly in a locked cage. They kicked, punched and shouted to him.
" A corruption and a curse was put on you. You will hate this world and you won't feel love. I will have those feelings while you suffer in pain ah " Frid happily said to Mikael.
Mikael's eyes glowed in anger at what he heard. Now he knew why he suffered, it's all this guys plans. He's just a pawn in his plans.
Louis felt sad for him and slowly get the knife in his backpack. He stabbed Frid in his heart. Frid was shocked that his prey can still move and cough out blood.
He looked at Louis and gently smiled at him. He touched his chest with his other hand.
" I love you ah " He said as he penetrated his chest.
The others was shocked at what happened and shouted, " Louis!! "
Frid crushed Louis's heart and grinned evilly at Mikael and the others. Louis cough blood and looked at Frid. He smiled as blood flows at his lips making it look redder and like an angel on the verge of being fallen, he gently hold Frid's arm that was still in his chest.
"An Angeli can heal..."Before he finished, Frid laughed at him and looked at him like a fool.
Louis doesn't mind and continue to smile calmly at him. His calm gaze and composure somehow make Frid feel like something is wrong and tried to retrieve his arm but he was too late. Starting from his arms, decay forms and flows through his body until he was only ashes left. It happened too fast and everyone was shocked. When they snapped, they only saw Louis falling and before anyone could react. They saw Mikael catch his falling figure.
His restrains was destroyed when Frid died and he immediately came to Louis's side after seeing him fall. This makes him panic and scared. Nothing would be able to stop his feelings now, he won't deny it again. He loves this man.
After seeing him being hurt by Frid, he was almost going crazy. Still, he hopes that he's not too late and quickly put an antidote to heal his injuries. But why is he still so pale? Still cold?
The small bottle fell down on the floor making a distinct sound that wakes everyone of the truth. Louis is gone.
Riel cried and punched the ground, frustrated at his weak self. Everyone shed tears for the kind-hearted young man who risk his life to save them. But they didn't know the pain Mikael is feeling right now.
Mikael blankly looked at the man in his arms. The man is beautiful and always smiling, he looks happy even in the end of his life. He would always take him out to see the world. He likes sweets especially chocolates. He would always want to spoil cute kids. And.. and...
Mikael gasped and felt like he was drowning, the pain comes from his chest. It was almost like his heart was being ripped apart.
[ What...is this? ] He thought as tears flows from his cheek and the pain worsens everytime he breathe. He carefully caress the man's cheek, his lips and his closed eyes which will never look at him again. This man is his most important person.
[ So why? ]
His vision blurred from the tears and he sobbed. He knows the answer but he can't accept it. He buried his head into the man's shoulder like he did when he was a kid. He wished he could turn back time. He inhales to somehow lessen the pain but it only got worse. He smiled as tears flows from his eyes and kiss the man's forehead.
" I love you... Louis..."
A massive power erupted from Mikael's body. Riel and others noticed then paled when they saw him. His eyes turned golden and his eyes flashed in pain. If this world didn't have him, what use is it for? Why is he even alive?
This world hates him. It should just begone..
"Don't hurt him! " Riel shouted. Mikael snapped from his trance and stare at Louis, he stand up carrying him and leave them.
Since then, they never saw them again.
***
A man gasped and opens his eyes, crazed and full of hate for the world. He closed his eyes to suppressed it and opens them again, a calm gaze look into the darkness. His golden eyes shined through and thought of what happened to this world. He didn't expect that the system he created would go find him after collecting almost all of his beloved's soul fragments. However...
He grits his teeth in frustration, although the world was save, his lover died in his arms. The curse is too strong and although he can endure the hate of the world for him, he can't bear not to be with his lover. He can't take his lover dying in his arms, he'll go crazy.
He tried to calm his self and found that the system is going to one of the world he has gone through, it seems that the system is trying to remove the curse after accumulating energies of the worlds. Then, he will cooperate.
The man narrowed his eyes and close his eyes. My beloved, we will meet again.
*** Arc 01 Extra: 1.10
Frid Borealis was born in the slums. He was an illegitimate child, unwanted because he's a halfling but he persevered and believe that there is beauty in the world.
He worked hard and helped many people. He was liked by everyone and he liked them back, he cherished them as his friends, family and a cute daughter. His life is simply full of happiness.
An extremely positive and cheerful man was broken when he encountered a mist in the forest while doing his work. He just turned back from his work, he was needed on site. He needed to past a forest on the way home.
It was night and the high way was desolate without a sign of living. A black mist suddenly surrounded his car and engulfed him. He tried to escape but it was useless.
The black mist ate his kindness and everything he cherished, he saw it. After engulfing him, he became one with it and it hunts his everything to make him lose hope, lose his kindness, his everything...
And it succeeded.
" Dear? What's wrong?"
His lover who welcomed him home after coming back was covered with her blood, lifelessly looking at him with tears in her dull eyes.
" Pa...pa...it hurts..."
His daughter's mangled body was in her arms, hugging his gift for her.
" Pfft You're such a crybaby! Aren't we here to help? "
His friends who always cheer him up was now corpses, piled one after another in the corner, rotting.
Everything is gone. He can't do anything but watched. No matter how hard he struggled, they all died. No matter how he shouted, they can't hear him. No matter how he covered his ears, their pained screams still reach him.
It was hopelessness. Despair.
He remembered how his wife welcomed him with a smile and hugged him, his daughter clinging to his legs, greeting him.
" Papa, Happy Birthday! "
Only to die by his hands...
Why him? He once thought.
Did he deserve this tragedy? To lose his family and friends? What did he do wrong?
He watched as the black mist control his body, hurt a young boy, kill many people...
The people's cursing, shouting and crying. Every night he would dream of them.
His hands are already bloodied from his beloved's blood. He won't resist, he let the black mist do anything it wants. All he wants is, to let him go. Please let him go. Please end this misery.
After sensing that he wouldn't resist anymore, the black mist let him a little bit of control. He once tried to resist again but it backfired and everyone died again. That was the last time he resist. He thought that It really was useless.
Then, he felt something aside from the pain and suffering given by the black mist. He touched his chest and felt that it was warm, this familiar warmth makes his tears fell. In his deadpan face, tears continued to fall down.
It's really really warm. He almost forgotten that feeling.
But before he got to grab hold of it, the black mist erased it. His eyes which hold a bit if light dampens. He pats his chest again to try if that feeling would come again. Although it was erased, he remembered it.
The next time that warmth appeared again, he immediately grabbed hold of it before the mist takes it. It's the only thing he has now, he can't die because the mist won't let him. He must have some use of him.
The truth is, he knew where this warmth came from. He remembered that boy, the mist has connected their emotions, all the warmth given to that child will be send to him then the mist would erased it however, after countless years he has gained a bit of control and manage to conceal and hide that warmth.
The owner who gave him warmth, he won't asked to be forgiven to what he has done. He just hope that he will kill him and end this life.
When the owner really came, he was elated but being controlled by mist. He can't do anything.
Frid, who already noticed the decaying, was happy inside. For all he had done, he will pay for it in hell. As he felt the black mist disappearing, he remembered his family and friends who died by his hands and felt like he saw them waiting for him from afar.
His friend grinned at him, "Welcome back! "
He heard laughter and cheers at the side, he blankly looked at his family and friends greeting him. Like the misery he experienced never happened. He laughed happily.
At the end of his life, he smiled peacefully.
