Chapter 3 System

<System initialization finished.>

<The mind integration into the body starts.>

The moment I heard those sounds, I lost consciousness again.

After sleeping for a bit, I woke up again.

But this time, I woke up while I was controlling my body.

Know that in the beginning, I wasn't able to move my body or something since, according to the system, my mind wasn't integrated with my body yet at that time.

<The soul and mind integration process is finished.>

<You can use commands to open and close the system interface. I am the AI assigned to the user 'Aaron' or 'Callius Augustride'. The host can talk to me inside his head; there is no need to use a voice.>

I heard a system voice in my head again.

It has a normal robotic female voice you can expect from an A.I.

'Is this it?'

I asked my mind to understand how to use my inner voice.

<Yes, host. You can talk to me like that. You can either call me directly, or you can say the tab's name specifically to open that particular interface page. If you say 'status', you will see the attributes of your body and the status page of your blessing. There are other functions as well.

The system has a daily lottery function, quest function, and shop function, and there are others yet to be explored and sealed for now.>

I heard the system explaining to me.

It is just as I expected.

'Status'.

I called in my mind, and at that moment, my attributes were shown.

STATUS

Name- Callius Augustride ????

Age – 12

Class – None(Sealed)

Knight rank – 0 star

Mage rank – 0 star

Attributes – None (sealed)

Traits – [Noblesse], [Perfectionist], [Prodigy], [Aesthetic Sense], [Ego], [Tyrant's Aura]

Arts – None (sealed)

Skills – None (sealed)

Stats-

- Strength – 0.8

- Speed – 0.9

- Stamina – 0.7

- Perception – 1.9

- Magic – 1.3

- Luck - ???

- Charisma – 9.9

- Intelligence – 9

- Perseverance - 10

The moment I saw all those stats, I understood why I was feeling this weak.

It is because this body is fragile. I can see that from the stats. Almost all of them are below 1, and it is the average strength for normal-rank people, A.K.A 0-star people.

Know that without receiving a class, it is very hard to use magic or improve your body since, in a sense, the blessings from those gods or goddesses are the things that make you improve your body.

However, aside from the attributes of the body, it seems the attributes of my mind are quite good.

<Host, know that the stats below the line are unchangeable by normal means, so they are all locked.>

I heard the system explaining to me. I guess it is pretty normal since for Callius to be a villain with that weak body, he either needed to have good backing or he must have a good brain. And for this case, it is the latter.

Well, Aaron himself was pretty clever, too, in academics, and he always got the best score on the tests as well. They were calling him 'note demon' in his department as well.

Anyway, after checking all those attributes, I decided to stand up and check the condition of my body.

The moment I entered the bathroom, the first thing that welcomed me was the huge mirror in front of me and the reflection of a boy.

In the first place, even though the body of Callius is weak, that doesn't mean his body is not good. No, it is the reverse, actually.

He is one of the best-looking people in the game. We can even say that he was better-looking than Arthur.

This setting is probably to satisfy the players, who wanted to see the good-looking guy get netorared.

Well, now that I don't have any feelings left for Alicia, it probably doesn't count as netorare but whatever.

You see, this boy has black hair, different from his sisters or father.

Normally, Austin had white hair and blue eyes. And he was a strong lightning mage.

It was said that the Augustride family has the blood of Zeus flowing through their veins since they have the only family with lightning lineage.

However, Callius neither have white hair nor blue eyes.

He has black hair and red eyes deep like blood. The way he looks at the mirror right now, I can say the trait [Tyrant's gaze] is really just like the name sounds.

And Callius always used this trait to command other people, bully them and make them feel inferior to him.

And I will also use this trait as well.

It is not like I am some sort of human activist who defends equality or something.

I won't reject myself and try to behave like someone else.

The moment Aaron's and Callius' minds and their souls merged, I became the person with those traits. So, there is no reason to reject that.

With that, I decided to take out my clothes to see where this pain in my stomach stemmed from.

I took my clothes, and I saw a bandaged cut injury on my abdomen. It seems this guy got injured from the events that occurred yesterday.

Yes, the whole dream was not a dream at all.

It was real that Austin was dead.

Yesterday Austin decided to take Callius out suddenly. He said that they should talk man-to-man from time to time, and this would be the beginning of this routine.

After that, they started traveling in a carriage while talking about this and that.

He asked Callius about how the marriage was going, and as you can expect from Callius, his ego couldn't say that their relationship was bad, so Callius hid it.

After they talked about this and that and ate dinner while disguising themselves, they decided to return.

But at that moment, suddenly, they were attacked by some people.

Since this trip was pretty sudden and secret, they hadn't taken any guards with them.

You must know that Austin was a 9-circled mage, and he was called the 'Lightning Magus'.

But in the presence of five 8-star knights and two 8-star mages, he couldn't fight efficiently while trying to protect Callius.

Normally speaking, he would be able to defeat all of them by himself if he fought with them alone, but the presence of Callius changed everything.

Although Austin was winning the fight, he was also getting injured while defending Callius from the attacks.

Since Callius himself would be dead the moment he blinked as a 0-star kid, he wasn't able to do anything aside from standing still and letting his father do all the work.

And the result was evident.

Even though Austin managed to kill all of those attackers, he wasn't able to survive all those attacks, and just like that, Callius' father died in front of his eyes.

After that, he started carrying his father's body on his shoulder somehow (?) and decided to defend him all by himself until the search team came looking for him.

And as expected, the battle already notified all those people close to there, and not long after, a search team came looking for people.

Since that area was devoid of any living thing, there wasn't anything that could harm Callius, and thus they took him to the Duke's mansion with the duke's body itself.

After that, it was the interrogation process, and Callius told everything that occurred in that place to the officials, and the interrogation went on until the night.

Since that experience was pretty traumatic, and they left him after all the questions were finished to rest for a bit since he was injured too.

But, out of all people in the room, there was a pair who were hatefully looking at him.

It was Emma and Adelyn.

They were looking at him so hatefully that if looks could kill, Callius would have already died long ago.

After everyone left, Callius delved into the sleep, and here we are.

This was the reason for this injury.

Right now, you might say your father died; why are you this calm?

Well, I am calm because he is not my father. He is the father of Callius, not mine.

Neither the parents of Callius nor Aaron are my parents. I don't have any attachments to them right now.

Although Callius himself loved his father very dearly, it was him, not me, so this is the reason for my calmness.

I decided to take a shower to cool my head for a bit and get rid of this drowsiness since I still feel a bit sore right now.

After taking a shower and cleaning my body thoroughly while paying attention to the wound on my side, I left the bathroom.

A normal person would probably write all the things in the game somewhere and record them, but I won't do it.

Why?

Because I don't need to do such a thing since I have one of the best memory out there.

And I have the two traits [Prodigy] and [Ego], which are strengthening all the things related to the mind, so I won't ever need to do such a thing in the future.

At that moment, I heard the system saying:

<Host, you have yet to open your starter package right now.>…
