[Lucas' POV]
Walking down the empty road, I tried recalling about senior Alianna, Geralt Icer's girlfriend. She was one of the few people I actually looked up to, despite our power difference.
Always ready to help people whenever she can, she was the idealistic, generous person whom you can count on.
When she died, a lot of us were not just sad but furious as well. All we knew was that her life signals suddenly went missing one day and then she was never found again.
So thought it was a monster, while others thought it was a human who killed her. There were many speculations but no right answers were found. Except when that guy told… no, he showed us everything that happened…
'Just who is he… Reaper, Zero, Aidan… Just who exactly is he?' I thought as I looked back, trying to process everything, at what happened on the rooftop with that angel-like being, Lucifer.
Two days ago, 'that man' gave his sword because of a prophecy or sothing. I wasn't going to accept it, but because of one na, I decided to do so. It was my mother's last wish to accept this sword and fulfil whatever work I was supposed to do.
'I wasn't going to use this sword though… I was planning to keep it around but…' I recalled when all of a sudden I heard soone's voice, Lucifer's.
'Can you hear ?' was the first thing he said. Back then, the voice felt so majestic that I wanted to kneel right that instant, but I stood my ground waiting for him to speak sothing more.
I thought it would be related to world destiny or perhaps going back and reclaiming the throne or sothing in that line of thought, but…
'Did you et Reaper yet?' he asked with a curious tone, as if he wanted to know the answer to sothing specific. Feeling like he was having a hard ti waiting for my answer and a bit taken back by his sudden question, I ended up telling the truth as,"yeah."
'Nice… it would be fun watching him from here,' he spoke before his voice stopped from there. I didn't know what he was going on about or what he was thinking… and how he knew Reaper.
A few seconds later, a ssage appeared in front of my screen before another screen appeared in front of .
[Binding to the Golden Guardian System!]
I saw that with a blank expression as my head went blank for a few seconds.
'What is this? Another System… I have two Systems! Is that even possible?' I looked at the screen, completing its binding before a ssage ca on it.
[Quest: Follow Reaper
Reward: ???
Penalty: You will lose everything, including your sister and everything else]
[You have been given the Fragnt of Brilliance!]
"What is this?" I questioned, as it was all too quick for . Just what is this sudden piling up of incomplete information?
Though just a mont later, the information about the whole situation flowed inside my brain and I could make out most of the things, if not everything. I could only take a break and organise all the things that I have seen today.
'Though to forcefully make follow that guy… it's a bit too much…' I thought as I sighed before I questioned,"hey… system guy… Can you at least explain to why I have to follow him? Is he really that special or sothing?"
Soon enough, that guy answers,' Call Lucifer. About that guy, Reaper, yeah he is special all right. He is one of the candidates for Guardians like you except he is standing up for another Guardian and also… he is even more than that… but I can't tell you about it because it's classified.'
From that point onwards, I kept asking questions, of which I got a few answers, while the others I did not. Strangely enough, we both focused on Reaper, but never really spoke of anything exactly related to him.
The next day I got busy in my own work as if nothing happened, and when another day passed,
'Take to Reaper. I want to talk to him.'
Lucky for , back then, he was just there when Lucifer gave that task. As soon as I heard that Lucifer wanted to talk to him, I moved outside the Student Council's building gate and moved in front of him to talk to him.
He was annoying as always but he let dine with him in a nearby cafe and when I told him about Lucifer… he took to a nearby rooftop before he raised his hand and…
The sword flew right out of my sheath and was caught by him as if he was taking what was his.
Then…
The angel descended. It was a being from heaven… I have never seen soone as beautiful as he was… If I didn't have my System, I would have fallen for him. However, what surprised was Reaper.
He talked to him as if he was talking to an old friend… just who exactly is he? And what exactly is he?
He kept surprising him over and over that day… the apocalypse, Reaper being Zero, Zero being that guy whom the whole world was searching frantically… It's like the whole world was revolving around him… and soon I found out why.
He gave tasks to people… everyone around him… and in exchange he promised sothing… or perhaps he had already done it for them… I don't know why, but almost everyone around wanted to help him. Just what has he done for them? Or perhaps what was he going to do for them?
It wasn't just that… my System had an ability to see soone's hidden motive at a certain cost and, yeah, obviously I looked into it and yeah, he had a motive behind his actions.
[The person in front of you wants to save the entire world
The extent of motivation towards his goal: enough to sacrifice his life for it without any hesitation]
"..."
Just what is he? But with this… especially this…I too… kind of… felt like trusting him… just like everyone else.
