Everyone Else Has a System

[Author's Note: This chap will probably confuse a lot of people… because there is a lot of missing and slightly confusing information in it( also in the last two chapters) but from the next chapters everything will start to get clearer as to why things turned so hasty all of a sudden. Hope you enjoy it.]

From that point, I kept asking questions, from Dolos to the reason why I hadn't entered the white dimension. Whether it was something natural or there was any other reason for the gap in between.

The key things I got to know were,

Dolos is one of the Primordials, the most cunning one among all the 5 Primordials currently alive. He is trying to gain more power, in the end trying to become the sole individual to reign at the top of the universe.

He isn't trapped anywhere, but is lying about the whole ordeal trying to collect the fragment hidden inside that gate of Avalon. He has been searching for the fragments for quite a long time.

The fragments are pieces of the dead Guardians which are scattered all around the universe. Under normal conditions, fate guides each piece of fragment to the rest of the fragments, making them join back together, soon reincarnating the dead Guardian's soul again.

Dolus isn't trying to erase the Guardians' existence completely, but rather is trying to get the reincarnated Guardian to be born under his spell from birth so that he could control such a powerful entity.

Not only is he trying to get the Guardians, but also the other Primordials… either trying to kill them or trying to make them his. Amon knew all this because Dolos was the one who had almost captured him and he bragged about this thing he was going to do before making Amon his own.

According to Amon, Dolus shouldn't know anything about me at all, and neither should he be present on this planet. It must either be his clone or some sort of spell that allows him to put a small part of his consciousness to roam freely around this place so that he could enter and exit people's dreams at will.

'However, there must have been something restricting him to achieve his goals in this whole situation, otherwise he wouldn't have been forcing a child to do all that stuff,' I thought at that point before I moved to the next question.

About the gate of Avalon, Amon doesn't know which Guardian's fragment would be there and according to him, that spell is too powerful to break, and only the key can unlock that place. Though this made me gaze a bit at Amon before sighing as I moved on to the next set of questions.

When asked about the reason as to why I hadn't entered the white dimension for quite some time, the last time being long before he arrived at the airport, the answer I got was that Amon and Elle have derived a way for the souls to fulfil their wishes as long as it does not require my direct involvement.

They could simply watch the video or fulfil their materialistic desires and pass one, so as not to have me come here every other 30 mins or so, they proposed and propelled this plan into motion without even telling me.

This time around, the old man's wishes required my direct intervention, so I had to come here.

"Well… I guess I can't complain with that line of thought," I muttered as I looked at Amon and Elle before sighing and turning to the old man.

"Thank you for letting me talk to them. Can you tell me your wish?" I ask, and he nods before telling me about a small village where his best friend lives. He wanted me to go there and ask for forgiveness from this old man's side. When asked where that village was, I found out that it was just on the outskirts of Arcadia City, so I guess it was pretty much doable.

I nodded before speaking,"let me out of here, there is something I need to do," and that old man, a bit confused, nodded before sending me back to the real world.

As soon as I get back to the real world… I sighed before moving towards Bernette's room immediately as fast as I could.

-Knock!! Knock!! Knock!!

I knocked heavily at the door and Bernette hurriedly opened up the door with a worried look on her face, wondering what all this was about. Looking at me on the other side of the gate, she had a wide-eyed expression on her face, but I ignored her and moved towards the almeera and pushed it aside, bringing the same scene in front of me all over again.

'Amon, didn't know that I had seen that, until I had told him about it… so it means that he can't see me here… Neither should be possible for Dolos to see me based on the information.. Also… something is wrong with this whole ordeal…. Something is really really wrong with this.' I got scared of the thing in front of me.

I got a bit scared and confused about the whole thing that was going on… there were so many gaps in this whole thing that my head almost began hurting.

"What happened?" Bernette asked with a worried expression as she observed my slightly terror filled face. I shook my head a little before speaking.

"Bernette… Call your father, Lucia Scarlet and William Laurentz here… right now."

My eyes had that look of urgency that made Bernette flinch a bit before she nodded and then used her smartphone to call Mark and then ask him to bring the others with him as well.

A few moments later, not only those three but also Cristine and other people came running into Bernette's room. Looking at me standing against the cursed artefact, they couldn't help but question what was going on.

Lucia, William and the group were shocked while those that belonged to this castle looked at Bernette as if questioning, 'Why is he here? In your room in front of that artefact?' but all Bernette could do was give a slightly awkward smile before turning to Zero, who was concentrating on that artefact, that gate to Avalon.

"Is there anything special about this thing?" Mark Leeway tried to understand this situation but once again ignoring his questions I spoke,"William, give me your sword. Give me the Excalibur."

Hearing my words William narrowed his eyes before speaking,"you do know that, this sword chooses its own master, don't you?" and I simply looked at him for a few moments before the sword started glowing and itself rushed out of its scabbard and jumped straight into my hand.

Not only it confused and shocked William but also Lilith and me… for a proud sword like Excalibur to itself jump into someone's hand… was nothing short of a miracle.

Though… there was something much more important to focus on right now… I then observe William before looking at Mark Leeway and say,"Mark copy William's System and both of you pass your energy into this sword."

Hearing my words, Mark hesitated a bit… so did William but then I spoke again,"if you don't do it… there is a high chance that the world will collapse very soon." and hearing my words, Mark, who was observing me keenly with his truth identifier, made a shocked expression before looking at William who had a similar expression.

They both, though they did not want to do this, still looked at me before Mark spoke.

"[Infinite Copy]" and touched William, which sent some vibrations all around him before he turned golden and then back to normal.

William then pointed his hands at Excalibur before speaking,

"[One with the Weapon: Power Transfer]"

Mark followed him with a slightly scared yet surprised look as he analysed William's System,

"[One with the Weapon: Power Transfer]"

I then observed the Excalibur turning more and more golden. I then hurriedly turned at Lucia before speaking in a commanding voice,"Vampire, offer me your blood."

With most of their mana present in their blood, vampires have the most mana rich blood among all the races. She looked at me a bit scared before she observed her surroundings and then slit her wrist and then I began drinking her blood, I sucked at least 25% of her blood.

If the situation wasn't as important, I might have not done this but unfortunately I didn't have any other choice at the moment, I must face this one… cause if I am too late… things would become more than just complicated…

Once all that was said and done, I immediately ran towards the artefact and shouted,

"Sword God's….First Slash!!!!!" before Excalibur illuminated a bright light and the artefact's curse was shattered into pieces right in front of my eyes.

While it looked like a normal slash with some flashy lighting and stuff, it contained a few percent of my life force as well. While the curse did require a key to break open into it… there was another thing that could let me pry open this… or perhaps any curse in this world.

The scene changed…

I looked around only to find myself at the centre of a shallow waterbody, where the water reached my feet. There were white pillars all around the place, giving the place a heavenly look yet also slightly eerie.

Though I was only concentrating on the three figures in front of me…
