Sleeping on the couch, Jong thought: 'The system? What could it be, and why did it bring me to this world? ... And earlier in the forest, when I met Tracy, the system was present, but she didn't say anything about it. Can’t she see it? ... But thanks to it, I got a second chance to live a real life, unlike my miserable previous one. To do that, I need power, so if I can become a wizard...'.

Jong sighed and then closed his eyes to sleep. Inside him, he held the hope of becoming a wizard.

---

In the early morning before sunrise, Jong opened his eyes after hearing a sound. He looked around to find that the place was still dark, yet it still allowed a little visibility.

Jong turned his gaze to the open door of the house, which seemed to be the reason for his awakening. There outside, Tracy stood with her back to the house.

Jong got up and walked towards her, and when he approached her, he said: "Good morning, it looks like you woke up early."

Tracy turned her head towards Jong and said in a surprised tone: "Oh, good morning, I woke up... and it seems I'm the reason. I'm sorry."

Jong replied: "It's okay."

Looking closely into Tracy's eyes, a deep sadness was evident that she couldn’t hide no matter how hard she tried, and underneath them, they were completely dark. Jong knew why because he had experienced it too.

Jong thought: 'Crying... She seems very worried about her father.'

Then he said: "Don't worry, he will be okay..."

Jong clenched his fist tightly, because as usual, he couldn’t do anything, helpless as always, and he couldn’t help her despite all the kindness she had shown him.

Tracy said: "Thank you."

Then she smiled a little and added: "And I'm sorry too; today we should be happy and excited for the Awakening Ceremony, not sad... So let's get ready."

Jong smiled and said: "You're right, let's..."

Oh.

Previously, he hadn’t noticed that due to the sad situation, and yesterday she had been wearing her leather hat, but now, looking at Tracy, besides her attractive beauty, with her golden hair and sky-blue eyes, and also her pure white skin, her ears resembled regular ears, except that they were pointed at the top.

Jong murmured in shock: "Elf..."

Tracy’s smile faded slightly, then she said: "Yes, I am, but I ask you to keep it a secret... Due to your memory loss, you don’t remember that the relationship between humans and elves isn't very good, so I hide it."

Jong: "Ah, okay..."

In truth, the reason he was shocked was that he had been able to see an elf, which he considered a fictional creature in his knowledge.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Tracy: "Well then, I'll go prepare breakfast."

And with that, Tracy entered the house.

Jong stood silently in front of the house, then after a short time, he thought, while looking at the black suit and coat he was wearing: 'The system... After giving me this suit saying it’s a gift, it disappeared... but still, I feel its presence watching me and waiting for a chance to appear.'

Jong sighed, then said softly: "The system..."

After waiting a little, he thought: 'Hmm, it didn’t work; I thought saying its name would make it appear... Maybe I should try something else?'

And so, Jong began saying different words, trying to summon the system: "Blue screen? ... Master of items? ... Transporter of people? ... Owner of the black suit? ..."

And so Jong kept muttering different words continuously, as if he were crazy.

"Main interface?..." And with this, a floating screen appeared in the air, emanating a strong blue light. Jong looked at the screen, his eyes burning with excitement, for after all, the system was the one who had the power to bring him back to life in this world.

[ Main Interface: Task Section. Rewards Section. Magical Items Section. ]

Jong thought in amazement: 'So this is the system; it resembles games? ...... Hmm, let's try the Rewards Section?' And thus, the writing on the screen changed.

[ Rewards Section: Black Suit. ]

Jong thought: 'Oh, it seems to be the only reward I have?'

He heard footsteps behind him. He looked back inside the house to see Tracy approaching him.

When she reached near him, she said: "Come on, I’ve prepared breakfast."

Jong nodded at her, then looked at her with interest.

When Tracy noticed his gaze, she asked him worriedly: "What's wrong, is something the matter?"

Jong quickly replied: "Oh no, nothing, let's go have breakfast."

Tracy nodded at him, then turned and walked towards the small table.

Jong looked ahead and found that the system had indeed disappeared as soon as he lost focus on it.

Jong closed the door and followed Tracy, thinking: 'It seems she really didn’t notice the presence of the system... As I expected, it seems I’m the only one who can see it and interact with it.'

As soon as the sun rose, both Jong and Tracy had gotten ready and set off east a while ago. Jong was wearing the black suit, while Tracy wore a black shirt and leather pants, and she put a gray leather hat on her head, covering her hair and ears.

At first, they were surrounded only by trees, but after walking for a while, a huge river crossed their path, and there was a rocky bridge connecting both sides.

After Jong and Tracy crossed the bridge, their feet landed on a man-made road that cut through the forest and led forward.

After walking for a few hours on the road, Jong and Tracy were no longer surrounded by trees, but on both their left and right sides were a group of wooden houses, as well as some made of stone, in addition to many farmlands and barns filled with livestock.

As they passed through the village, Tracy quietly asked: "By the way, if you become a wizard, what nature do you want your magic to be? Strength, fire, ice, gravity, plants...?"

Jong muttered: "Nature?..."

He didn’t know that each wizard had magic of a different nature, but he understood the matter without Tracy needing to explain it to him, so he replied: "I guess strength... What about you?"

He chose this nature because he needed strength in his previous life.

Tracy said in a sad voice: "Actually, at first, I wanted healing magic because my father always got injured while hunting monsters... But now, I wish to have magic that allows me to find him."

Jong said optimistically: "I hope you get the magic of the nature you want, but even if you don’t, don’t worry because I think I have a way to find your father."

Tracy looked at him kindly and said: "Thank you, Jong..."

After that, both of them got lost in their own thoughts; Jong looked down as he thought until he heard Tracy say: "Jong, we’ve arrived..."

He raised his head and looked ahead, and in front of him was a massive wall, towering high, and its width was endless.

In front of the wall, many people stood in line to get permission to enter. Tracy moved forward and stood in line, followed by Jong, who stood behind her, looking in amazement at the wall and the large number of people.

They had arrived at the capital.
