Chapter 4: Beginning

'Ah...where, am I?'

I became confused and my mind was hazy, my vision was blurry, and my body felt numb.

As I blinked I faintly saw the three figures of my friends, I can hear their cheerful laughter and subconsciously reached out my hand towards them.

'Wait...'

'Don't, go...'

Darkness engulfed me.

Then, I woke up.

....

Feeling the coldness all over my body I shivered and opened my eyes abruptly.

I panted heavily and clutched my chest, as if woken up by a nightmare.

I was then greeted by a dark sky filled with starlight.

'Stars...?'

After the sky turned crimson blood red, night never came anymore and so are the stars.

I stood up staggeringly and reached forward my hand towards the sky.

Three stars that are together shone down brightly upon me.

"Sung Il-yeong, Ahn Shin, Park Jum...is that you guys?"

'Swoosh'

The sound of winds whispered in my ears and my clothes fluttered.

Suddenly I sensed something wrong that made me unconsciously frown.

I looked at my body and found that I was wearing a normal white t-shirt and black pants. I then looked at my hand and found that there was no colossus, it was pure and clean as if it had never held a weapon before.

I looked at the surroundings and found broken trees everywhere without any form of life.

I saw a puddle of water and hesitantly walked over.

Then as I peeked at my reflection I froze. What was reflected on the water was not my familiar face with black hair and eyes, instead the youth in the mirror had fluffy white hair with contrasting coloured eyes, on the right was blue while on the left was green.

'Who, is this?'

Slowly I raised my hand and touched my face which the youth on the reflection did so. I pinched myself and felt a stinging pain which proved that it is not a dream.

What's more...

'Shouldn't I have died?'

Countless of questions flooded in my head in an instant.

'Did my appearance changed or, did I possessed this body?'

It felt surreal but after experiencing countless of unbelievable situation such as having the world destroyed and encountering another entity, it felt like anything is possible.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

Just as I was pondering I felt a tug in my heart which made me groan in pain.

I turned around and found that there was a familiar book lying on the ground.

I frowned as I walked over towards it.

Picking it up with a solemn face I held it tightly.

「Kismet」

This is the book those 「Walkers」want. If they are so desperate for it, that means this is much more precious than one might think of.

What's more, the 「Walkers」said that they are 'Looking' for it which meant that it is not there's to begin with.

That means there are also other entities that are searching for it.

With that thought my mood became more solemn.

I looked at my hand before clenching it.

'I'm still too weak. Without a doubt, they could easily take this away from me, and if that happens then-'

- Su-Jin-ssi!

'-Then I wouldn't be able to find the true reason behind my friends death.'

Just as I felt devastated, a sudden burst of pain came from my head and I dropped the book as I clutched my head with both hands, falling to my knees and screaming.

The pain was so much that it made my senses numb.

Then, countless of blurred images appeared in my mind that were not mine.

Later on, after what felt like eternity passed, the pain finally subsided.

Breathing heavily, sweat dripped down my forehead.

'What...was that just now?'

'Were those, the memories of the original owner of this body?'

After thinking of this, I pieced out everything together and finally got some information.

The original name of this body was 'Light Keiran'. He is from this world called 「Nishat」, a forsaken world.

This world used to be peaceful and beautiful but after some catastrophe, the world fell into ruin. And he, Light Keiran, was the sole survivor of this world.

Now that I took over his body, I wonder what happened to the soul of Light Keiran.

What's more, it seems that not just in this world, but also in other worlds, the entities living there has abilities similar to superpowers that I've read in novels.

I wonder, how can I know my abilities.

I closed my eyes and tried to recall the memories of Light Keiran and found what he did to activate his abilities.

Opening my eyes I took a deep breath and sat down. Then I spoke, "Status Window"

Surprisingly it worked and a holographic blue screen appeared before me with blue auras around them where I could feel the mana of magic.

【Status】

【Name】: Light Keiran (Kim Su-Jin)

【Age】: 27

【Species】: 「Fallen」

【Occupation】: 「Reader」

【Titles】: (None)

【Chronicles】: 0

Seeing this I was slightly confused, what do they mean about the 【Chronicles】?

What's more, what is my species? I'm not a human?

As for the occupation, I could vaguely guess that it has something to do with the 「Kismet」.

Holding my chin I narrowed my eyes as I stared at the name, that means I have two identities. One as my true self, Kim Su-Jin, and the other is as the body I now possess, Light Keiran.

As for the rest, it does not matter to me.

Now, let's see what my abilities are.

【Skills: ----- 】

【Skill】: 「Appraisal」

---Description: Allows user to see the 【Status】 of a living being.

【Skill】: 「Sound」

---Description: Allows user to affect a living being only by using word and sound from their voice and mouth.

【Skill】: 「Time and Space」

---Description: Allows user to control Time and Space.

Seeing my skills I was stunned, aren't these too powerful?

Then my eyes landed on the last skill which was called 「Time and Space」where in the description says it can control time and space itself.

But what exactly did it mean by that?

How can I possibly control the time and space?

I furrowed my eyebrows unconsciously.

Knowing that I wouldn't get the answer for now, I sighed and stood up as I picked the 「Kismet」.

Looking around I wondered if Light Keiran just slept on the ground like this everyday.

But, knowing that there is not a single life form in this world then, how will I survive from hunger.

I then found that in the memory, Light Keiran never ate, it seemed that time here does not flow and so there was no need to eat nor will you experience hunger.

Hmm, how interesting.

I stared at the sky and was lost in thought.

'With this newfound power, will I ever get to bring justice upon your death?'

The three stars shone more and more as if blinking and answering me.

My lips parted slightly before curling up into a smile.

'Then...'

Standing up I held the 「Kismet」and spoke in a resolute voice.

"I shall destroy Fate, I will, no matter where or no matter how long, i will find the reason for your death, and bring justice"

"Just wait for me, Sung Il-yeong, Ahn Shin, and Park Jum"

"I will alter this so called fate"
