Chapter 213: chapter 213- Will

"... We are at the intersection of reality and illusion, in the midst of life and death, there is nothing here, but you can have everything... I'm you but we are a different person... You know me as "The System," but at a certain time in this long~ long~ history, I was... The first Creation of the Creator along with my Brother "Fate,"...

I am "Something" that is inside every human being; I am what people often call "Desire,"..." Purpose,"... Or "Will."... And you are me... The New Me... The one that will Continue my Legacy, someone I choose to continue my "Purpose" and make my "Desire" come true... You Are The Chosen One"

"..."

Hearing this, Taufik could only remain silent and pensive, trying to put together the words that the "creature" was trying to convey, so that he could understand what he was trying to convey.

"..."

"... Okay~ So... What? And where are you? You seem so close, but why I can't see you?"

"I am not something that can be seen... I am a substance, the element of all elements, and the core of every core that cannot be seen or touched, but I am everywhere..."

"... What is that? A riddle?"

"..."

"..."

"... C'mon! Let me act cool and mysterious for the last time"

Said The Will, annoyed with Taufik's behavior who didn't want to "cooperate" with him.

"For the last time? What do you mean by that?"

"Hm? Ahh~ Maybe I said that too fast... Yap~ it's indeed my last... You remember what happened before, right?"

Hearing this, Taufik just nodded his head without saying anything.

"Actually, The System shouldn't be operating on its own like that, like using your Imagination Magic and Creating a Skill like that, but it's not because the system is broken or something but because it's me who makes The System does something like that, that I shouldn't do, but it is a dangerous situation, what Lembu said is indeed true, you are not ready to fight Heaven yet, let alone Fate...

that is why I have to intervene, because no matter what I can't let my successor die just like that, right? And because of that, I'll meet my end because I've already used my all"

Will said casually as if death was nothing to him, but for some reason, after hearing that, Taufik felt a little guilty.

"... I see"

"Ahaha~ Don't be like that, it's not your fault, truth to be told, I had died a long time ago, hmm~ "died" might be a wrong word... I gave a part of myself to all of humanity so that they could have a purpose so that they don't live as puppets of fate for their entire lives, because that's why every human being has different thoughts and will not be the same, and-"

"Wait!"

Said Taufik, interrupting Will while he was busy explaining.

"What?"

"You said that you give part of yourself to all of "humanity" Does the "humanity" you mean here include Adam?"

"...

No, Adam it's special, he's the last Creation of the Creator, "Humanity" I mean here is you and all of his Descendants, because unlike Adam when the first generation of humanity, which means is the direct child of Adam, all of them didn't have a purpose on their life, they all do what they all told to do, just like that, until the them where death is approaching them, I'm who have fall in love with human, can bear to look at them like that...

So that's why I gave a bit part of myself to them as a test, But it seems that it didn't end well because it seems that I gave a little too much to one of Adam's children which made him kill his own brother, it was a failure, but it worked because they finally had a purpose, and after that, I gave half of myself to all humans equally, not too much but also not too little, and it continued, passed down to the current generation"

"... I see, thanks for the answers, you can continue what you wanted to explain earlier"

"Okay, hmm~ where were we? Ah ~ I gave a part of myself to all of humanity and the other part I poured out when creating "The System" To find a replacement for me...

In The System, I've poured my all, and Imagination Magic is actually a tool to achieve all of that; it can grant all of your Desire, Purpose, and Will; you must have realized that lately you rarely get items or anything from "Daily Login," right?

That's because you already got everything I wanted you to get, like Imagination Magic and that Title, and Nāgāntaka is also included; he's not just any Garuda; he's more special than that... there will be a time when you know that, but it's not now... As for the other items, you get them because they are what you Desire...

Lately, you don't have a desire for anything because you feel like you already have everything, because of that "Daily Login" rarely gives you anything, it's not your fault, but because of your Environment, the Earth you live in during your time is too Peaceful because nothing can make you feel cornered, and can't make you feel the tension that gives you the desire to grow, proven, because you only grow when you feel a crisis, like when you first got that Title, Besides that, you feel like you can beat anyone as long as they are on earth, am I right?"

Will said this to Taufik at length, and Taufik, who heard it, could only remain silent once again, because what Will said was very much in line with what he felt.

"... That explains why the System is known so much, But that raised a question in my heart that I've always been wondering all of this time. Can you answer that for me?"

"Let me guess, that question is probably the same question that you asked the system when the first time you received it, right? The question about why you, why it's you who received the System, right?"

"Yes, I'll be thankful if you can answer that"

"...

Hmm~ How should I put it into a word so as not to offend you, Actually it wasn't you, but your father should have been the chosen one, he had all the right criteria to be my successor, but something happened in the trial he participated in, because Fate found out about my plan, even after I made the trial place in the most closed area on earth, she did something with the trial that made your father unable to accept The System, but the choice was already made, so to cover up the "error", you were chosen because of your relationship with the one who should have been chosen, you weren't the wrong choice either, because your traits are similar to your father, it's just that you lack Desire like your father had, that's all...

so~ did my answer satisfies you?... And don't look at me like that, your father's accident had nothing to do with me, if he received the system as it should have happened, This all wouldn't have happened"

Said Will when he saw how Taufik looked at him with an angry look when he mentioned his father.

"*Sigh* I know it's not your fault, but it still irritates me somehow that I know that you have something to do with my Father's accident"

"Ahaha~ Alright, since I still have time left, you can ask anything that you want to know... And I will answer what can at least be answered"

"Alright~ then... "

After that, Taufik asked Will about what he had been curious about all this time, and also about how Fate works, because even though he looked relaxed, he was also a little worried about the fate of his family members, whether the situation would remain the same even though he had changed many things by just coming to the past, but Will's answer made Taufik breathe a sigh of relief, Will said, if someone else did what Taufik was doing now, maybe something unwanted would happen, but fortunately, with Taufik's Title this could be avoided, because Taufik's Title works as a paradox destroyer, simply if someone else travels to the past, and then kills their grandfather, they will never be born, and their journey to the past will not happen either, but, if the one who travels to the past is Taufik who has the Title, and in the past, he, for example, kills his grandfather then nothing will happen to Taufik, that's more or less.

"So~ it's all that you want to know? Nothing more?"

"Yeah~ only that, know too much it's not good either"

"Wise choices... Then, I think is time to say goodbye But don't get me wrong, I won't disappear forever, someday, no matter how long it takes, we will meet again"

Hearing this, Taufik only smiled faintly while nodding his head, because suddenly he felt that his eyes were very heavy, and his consciousness seemed to be starting to fade.

But Will kept talking, but Taufik couldn't hear him very clearly.

"... Alright, take care of yourself, buddy ohh~ there's no concept of time in this place, so I don't how much time has passed outside... "

'... What?'

"Ohh~ And by the way~ the system will not work for a time being, so you can't claim your Quest reward yet"

'... Hah?'

"There's more, please be careful of a demon named Ma-"

"---"

Before Taufik could hear what Will was trying to say at the end, he had already fallen unconscious again.
