The moment he walk into the door, he Saw a red Giant ball like an egg on the center of the room, what is that? He thought.
But then something happens to the red egg, it's cracking slowly then after a single piece of the egg fall to the ground, a red fog come out of it the smell is like a corpse of chicken, kaires body stiff, it's ombrelith, how-, kaires instinctively run away.
But the fog not let kaires run away, ombrelith chasing Kaires, when Kaires was chased he tried to use the bonded promise bracelet again, but it was too late, the ombrelith was already around him, when Kaires tried to close his nose and other and every part of him on his body it was too late he fell to the floor.
A flashback came into his mind, everything that he throw away, scream from a man and woman.
"Ugh-"
His body that already weak want to explode when every single thing that he don't want to remember again, flood into his brain.
But suddenly he woke up on someone laps and he sit up, he breathless, look around it's still his room.
"What's wrong dear?" A woman ask kaires worrying him
"No-nothing mom just terrible dreams" Kaires was still holding his head in pain
"Ohh poor my baby, here I care you" Kaires' mother hugged Kaires and stroked his head.
"Thanks mom"
"No problem sweetie"
Kaires silently know something was wrong right now, but... He doesn't know why and what.
"Go take a shower, you wake up late" said Kaires' mother in a soft tone.
"Okay mom"
kaires said stand up and walk to the bathroom, he walk out of the door, He passed through the living room with the dim lights, he felt the air in this room was unpleasant but he tried to ignore it and went to the bathroom.
He take of his clothes piece by piece, but when he gonna start to take a bath, he looked at his reflection of himself, he feels weird about himself, why is he a kid now? but he threw that thought far away.
He know something wrong, something really really wrong in here, why he thought this?
After take a bath he used his clothes before get out of the bathroom.
he opened the curtain, outside He saw a bird with horns flying with its flock and he thought
"Today it looks like the fog won't come"
"Mom i think i can go hunting today" Kaires shouted at his mother who was tidying up his clothes in his room.
"Wait a minute, going with your father hunting alone is dangerous." Kaires mom said walk out from the door
"Where's dad?"
"he is taking care of the sheeps in the back"
"ohh"
Kaires walk to the back of his home, he see a farm on the back of his house, The farm is quite large, there are several pens containing cows, chickens and sheep, and there is also a small pond of about 4x4 which contains lots of fish, behind the farm there are several agricultural lands for livestock feed and for our food, and then kaires seeing a man give dozens of sheeps grass.
"Ohh my boy kaires, what's up?" The man ask with a big smile in his face.
"Dad, i want to go hunting but mom say I have to hunting with you"
"Well whatever your mom says, let's go"
"Okay"
kaires' father go to the warehouse, he took his gun, a Barrett M82, and his bag, using his full body armor he finally put on his turiet mask, then came over to Kaires.
"Get your weapon why are you still on there not prepared?"
"Ohh right I forgot"
"Don't forget, these 3 months you have to learn close combat, bring Silvaris, oh yeah, you already cleaning Silvaris, right?" Dad ask still struggling to use his boots.
"I do dad"
"Good then"
Kaires went to the warehouse, he took a gun "G12 ghost", as well as a small sword with the name "Silvaris" carved on it, Kaires also wore a full body armor and a turiet mask and use his bag.
"Good, let's go!!" kaires dad said excitedly led the way.
Kaires just smile he thought, he really energetic even when this year is his fifty.
"Wait for me dad"
the two of them go to the car, using key kaires' father starting the car, he Drive it away from he's house to the forest.
A moment later they arrived in a forest that was quite dark, even though they could see because there were lots of fireflies in there, they hid behind a rock, Kaires' father signaled Kaires to immediately rush his prey.
Kaires nod and slowly walk closer and closer, he observe, it's a deer with a black random pattern almost all over the deer's body, the deer's name is "shadow deer".
Kaires must not be caught by the deer, because if he is caught the deer will run away into the shadows and it will be impossible to catch it.
Kaires was very close to the deer and it's just a meter or two meter away kaires jump to the air 4 meter above the ground and shoot two 9mm bullets to the deer ankle prevent the deer to move, he maneuver in the air and take his silvaris out of his waist, he land his silvaris to the deer neck and cut in a matter of second.
"Good job kid"
"Thanks dad"
"We should make a hut to store our prey, we can't carry everywhere and it's gonna be late" kaires' dad said the sun set into the dark forest.
"Okay dad"
The two of them create a hut on the forest, and and put the deer in the hut.
"Should we go get rest?" Kaires ask
"Go ahead it's getting late for you to wake this time"
"Okay dad" kaires get into the hut and sleep in there.
He sleeping but something went wrong, he can't sleep, no not any "can't sleep" his mind can't even rest, he just lying there and close his eyes but he can't sleep why?
He feels something uncomfortable arise inside his mind.
[The mental stabilizer protocol activate]
[Master please respond the system]
"What??" Kaires shout.
"Why are you still awake kai?" Kaires' father turned to kaires.
"D-dad do you hear any sound?"
"Nope there's no sound, you good kai?"
"Maybe I'm just sick"
"You should get rest"
He try to sleep but every time he want to sleep, the voice not stop.
[Master please respond the system]
[Master please respond the system]
[Master please respond the system]
"Okay fine I respond you" kaires said
"?, Who you talking to kai?"
"Nothing dad"
"You sure?"
"Yes dad"
"If you say so"
[Detected : master doesn't want to be caught]
[Recommend to talk in mind]
"What does that mean" kaires ask whispering.
[This system can provide master a talk thought to thought]
kaires try to talk in his mind,
"can you hear me
[i do master]
"OHH so you have a telepathic thing, how is that work?"
[Through the connection of neurons in master brain, I can get information about what master want to say and I can respond to it in master brain.]
[more simple take, yes it was telepathic]
"OHH okay, nice information"
kaires stop a second before continue his word
"so do you have any information about what the hell is going on?"
[of course master i know, master right now on the surface still sleeping right now, because the fog that attack master is not ordinary fog, it's "modified fog"]
"'modified fog'?"
[yes master "modified fog", a fog that not naturally exist and just creation by creature]
"OHH"
he pause for a second then he ask
"btw why are your tone became 'more human'?"
[I got upgraded master]
"what? how that work?"
[there's no a straight explanation it's just assumption that this sistem calculate by probability]
[1. the upgrade of mine is link to master situation, like when master in dangerous situation I'm upgrade to better new version or 2. the upgrade of mine is link to master progression of strength, like when master got more stronger then my sistem upgrade, or 3. the upgrade of mine is just randomly happen]
"ohh so you say that two of your assumption of your upgrade is because you linked to me?"
[the probability of it is big so yes]
there's a moment of silence upon him, rather he just want to digest all the information or he just tired
"it's feels weird when I know this is just a dream but I wanna sleep in it"
kaires continue his word while his body- well body In dream make himself comfortable.
"it's like this is real life, do you have more information kei?"
[of course I do master, this place or your dreams is ten times faster then real life, like if you live in here just for a day on real life it's just like 2 hours]
"hmm that information is so useful thanks, any else?"
[this is the last information that I have for now master so hear it carefully, your dream right now is not about dream at all, it's like a test to awaken your gumun, master]
[because this dream is no ordinary dream it's look like it, but there's no sign this is just dream, there's a life and many more that can practically back up my speculation]
"so you mean is this is not dream but technically still?"
[yes, technically is]
kaires want to ask but hesitate to do it, his mind is racing to ask it or no.
[master want to know does master Mirable okay right?]
[she's okay nothing happen to her, she just on her class]
kaires feel his chest relief for a second longer.
"if she's okay then it alright, how did you know she's okay btw?"
[it's the main function of this sistem, master, as the bounded one i can know anything about master Physically and mentally, wich is i can know anything master Mirable or master kaires doing where ever masters at]
"ahhh i see"
kaires still feel uncomfortable to sleeping inside this place, he change his position.
"so does your power still can be use in here or not?" he ask with uncomfortable sleepy look.
[sorry master it can't, you have to touch it Physically, and here is dream world]
"ohhhh i get it now, so any system function is have to be touch in the bracelet first, that's why i can't use it here because here is my dream!"
"ohhh ok ok i get it now" he said it like he trying so hard not fall asleep.
a moment of silence then he fall asleep,in that dream he woke up on the place that he doesn't know.
a green grassy plain and small and medium mountains everywhere but there's no tree around there, around him he saw water flowing from a fairly high mountain behind him sky on that place was red, and the whole place surrounding in the darkness, like midnight without the moon.
at that moment he pointed a single thing that like light in the darkness it's on the big mountain something that so abstract he can't even tell what is it, but it feels like it lure him to go there.
he run to that mountain, he feels like he have to get there and know what is it, he climb the mountain, When climbing the mountain, the mountain was very steep, even the slightest mistake and Kaires would fall and get injured.
when he arrived on the peak of the mountain he Saw the thing, he tried to interact with the thing, but nothing happen his hand feels cold when he touch the thing, it's looks like a combination of fireflies and owl, it's glowing on the things wings it's like a anglerfish luring in the darkness of that place.
when the thing Turning towards Kaires, Kaires saw that the thing's eyes were so dark red that they looked black and also a symbol on the thing eyes makes Kaires' dark brown eyes bulged and trembled as if his eyes wanted to jump out of his eyelids and vomit in that dream, his mind like got corrupt fastly just by looking at it, and he woke up from his sleep.
