Aiden, who was struggling a moment ago, suddenly stopped hearing the loud noise of the horn and gradually opened his eyes. But to his surprise, what he could only see was the night sky, stars shining all around.
He instinctively looked down, and what he saw frightened him to his core. He couldn't shout, he couldn't run, because where he really was, was space, his eyes looking down at the blue earth itself.
'WHAT!!!!…'
He moved his body in panic as his heart was beating like crazy. But to his surprise, he wasn't dead or frozen. He could still....breath.
He gradually calmed down, feeling that he wasn't dying right away. Floating within the empty space. Trying to make sense of this weird situation which he was in.
'What is this white light all around my body? Is this what keeping me alive?'
[Yes, you are right, child.]
{Quite perceptive, ain't he?}
Aiden heard the same voice which he heard before from behind, but this voice had much weight than before. So much pressure that his body couldn't even a move an inch.
His heart beat started increasing like crazy, like lions, no, dangerous monsters were behind his back. His being so afraid that cold sweat started pouring out of his body and his throat became so dry that even his breathing was getting hard.
[We don't have much time….they are going to arrive….] the angel said, his voice turning deep.
Aiden slowly turned his back, turning to his shoulder. He was afraid, yes, but not listening to these unknown beings who could shamble his mind with just their voice was not a good option to begin with.
As he turned back, white light shined on his eyes, feeling a bit of warm sensation at his right and from his left he felt cold but attracted, like his body was slowly getting sucked. Both sides of his body feeling this weird sensation that he couldn't accurately describe.
His eyes were blind from the shine, but as he looked closer, his eyes gradually adjusted and what caught his eyes and blew his mind wide open.
He didn't think being in space was too weird, but what his eyes were witnessing was the craziest thing he would have ever seen.
What was before him were the mythical beings which he saw in many movies and novels he so much read. He still couldn't believe what was happening, but being a mysterious person himself. He didn't take his time as he gazed upon them.
An angel, who had curly white hair having a mature but old look, his eyes glowing like shining silver who was wearing a white coat and pants. Full white. Even his tie and shirt within were perfectly white, with three wings slowly flapping on his left side.
And a demon. Who had straight hair, falling to his shoulders, like a waterfall? With a charming and handsome look, so much so that even he himself could fall for him, his eyes glowing purple with two thick horns protruding from his head. His attire which was only made from a robe which looked like they made it from dark liquid or something and similar to the Angel. Three dark wings were slowly flapping on his right.
But with so much dissimilar looks between these beings, something was clearly similar. Something that made Aiden uncomfortable, as he was close to realizing.
{haa…..come here, you puny human….}, said the demon, showing his palm in his direction.
Aidan saw many small circles appearing in his palm as some kind of old symbols vibrating in between.
And the second later, the small circle was complete. He felt a pull, like his body would feel to the gravity of the earth. So he fell in the Demon's direction, his sunglasses, his hair color and his light makeup that made him a bit ugly. Everything disappeared, showing his proper color, his genuine face, which looked more charming than before. More so that he came to the level of the demon itself.
{… now you look more like him…..} the demon said.
BOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!
[that's the sixth horn. we have little time left.] the angel said, floating near. [Damian….ahem…ahem ….lets do this.] he said, coughing out a bit of blood.
Aiden now had a very clear image of both of them and the thing that they both had similar was that they were battered. Even heavily so. They both had wounds and blood all over their clothes and he was sure that the wings, which he didn't see, were actually cut off.
The demon gazed back at the angel. His face so serious, like of the angel, that this was their last stand.
{lets do this…..}
the angel also nodded with conviction and looked back at Aiden at his authentic form.
[ Oh son of @#$%$&, this is indeed our last stand. We both have decided to bet it all on you, the one who has the purest of his blood.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
We both will sacrifice the remaining of our life force to conjure a miracle. A miracle which will grant you a single wish. I hope you use that wish to save what is now left of humanity from the appending doom, the holy war, which will start after the seventh horn.
I hope you use this wish wisely….]
After those last words, which made Aiden confused as fuck. Both the demon and the Angel lightened up, one shining with white light, blinding him and another shining in purple, which made riled up many of his emotions for unknown reasons.
"wait…what miracle..? what appending doom? what miracle….I have questions….wait.!!!" he shouted..
{don't worry….you will know….and don't feel guilty about us. We both were dying anyway. We just put our eventual dead to good use….} said the demon, his voice gradually lowering down.
[and…..my child...know your limits….and don't ...die....] said the angel. Now both of them fully disappearing away in their own lights.
Both the lights mixed together. Creating hypersonic sounds like release of some grand energy, scaring Aiden a bit. He didn't know what was happening. His mind still confused as hell, but one thing was clear for sure that.
"Humanity is going to face something great, something really out of our league…." he thought in a worry.
He kept staring at the white and purple light, mixing together. He didn't know both of them, one who looked like a strict but kind uncle and another a playboy big brother, but it seems they both had some connections with earth, which lead both of them at his point.
"I don't know, who you were and what really happened that lead to your eventual death but I pay my respect." he said, bowing down at the light, which was now taking a spherical shape, beaming out purple and white light.
BOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!
Aiden gazed down, focusing on the earth, his eyes glowing a bit golden. And to his surprise. The earth was now filled with giant storms and tornadoes. He couldn't even recognize what he was seeing was earth or not. Some continents half sunk and some new and weird continents appearing all over the place.
"Can we even survive this disaster?" he questioned? His heart, feeling the heaviness of the situation. "This is….." he didn't know what to say or what to think, looking at the mess what was now called earth.
He was seeing it all in horror, the cyclones, the unknown lands appearing, red spots showing volcanic eruption. Everything. And it speed up even more after the seventh and final horn and at the last second....they came.
His eyes viewed a red light at the west of the earth and also a bright white light at the east.
Small flicks of many lights coming out of each side. He didn't what they were but when they reached earth….something happened. Something much worse than what he was seeing before.
He was going to watch it all but some kind of wind or wave pushed him and it was none other than the sphere of white and purple light, and suddenly a feeling weald up within him. Like. This was it. The mass of energy radiating some kind of waves asking for something.
'is it waiting for my wish?' he thought… 'I think I know the exact wish for this situation...please god, don't make this a mistake…' he prayed.
"I wish…..for the perfect [SYSTEM]" He said, thinking of the many systems he had read in his light novels.
Ooh….god, did I mess it up….?' he thought as he gazed at the sphere of heavenly light. And just after a second, it started beating, like a heart, and before he could blink. It went right inside him.
"what??!!"
He started feeling a surge of energy inside, white and purple light glowing all around his veins. He felt pain and also relief, both at the same time, juggling his emotions to another level. He felt anger and joy; he felt lustful and antipathy.
"haaaaa!!!!"
He screamed and screamed, his mind trying to sort it all. His golden hair shining like a star and his eyes, changing in color with white, purple and mix of gold.
[Wish chosen....searching the perfect system from the host memories....found….integrating the Perfect Bloodline system...1%..2%….8%….40%….]
Aiden heard nothing as his consciousness was slowly fading away and eventually his glowing eyes closed as he fell down….pulled from the gravity.
And like a comet, he was burning and falling down at high speed, but the white light layered around his body was still there, slowly dissipating. Giving him no harm. He kept falling and falling until land was near and…..
Boom!!!!
With an enormous explosion, he landed on a mountain, tearing the entire mountain down with him. The impact, so strong that the whole mountain crumbled down to its foundation. Bearing the person within all the chunks of rubble and rocks.
