7: Lesson

Before they knew it, the sun had already set.

The discussion brought Sage into a state of recess. He wasn't sure whether he should be happy that humanity had a chance or confused by the fact that he was the 'chosen one'.

"Anyway, Sage, not to worry, what you are in right now is my dimension, in here 1 year is equivalent to 1 day out there, so we'll have some time for you to train and get used to the system I created for you."

"At this point in time, if I don't believe you, I would be called a fool."

"Now, now it's time for you to go to bed, the moon is already out. You have a long day ahead of you tomorrow."

"Alright good night."

Logia got out of the chair and tucked Sage into bed. Sage recalled a feeling that he had forgotten a very long time, from the day his mother got admitted into the hospital, his longing for another's warmth.

He curled up like a ball and cried in silence. Feeling pity for Sage, Logia heads towards the door, leaving the black sword next to Sage's bed. He glowed of green light and evaporated into thin air.

•••••••••••••••

Morning arrived and Sage was ready for action, he got out of bed to stretch.

"Rise and shine sleepy head, you're finally awake huh!?"

Countless molecules of light gathered around the cottage entrance, they swiftly morphed together to structure Logia's body.

"Well, are you ready for today's training, because you're going to wish you were dead by the time we finish."

(*giggle*)

Sage attempted to pick up the black sword, but Logia immediately stopped him before he had the chance to.

"Whoa there! what on earth are you trying to do? Do you know how dangerous that thing is? Sigh... let me carry it."

Sage was in a confused state, he clearly knew that he picked up the sword when he fought with the ogre and nothing happened.

"How is it dangerous? I picked it up last time and I was completely fine."

But then Sage took a moment to acknowledge that something did happen when he picked up the sword, he began to recall a bit of what happened during the battle which led him to get headaches once again.

"Well let's go outside first and I'll explain to you then."

(*step*)

Sage who walked out of the cottage was followed behind by Logia. They both sat on the grass, facing each other in silence as if they waited for the other to take the initiative to speak first.

"Alright then, I'll start by talking about this sword. This black sword was made from the corpse of a very powerful creature, the dragon named Drac.

There was a time when war broke out in my realm between him and the monsters... The battle took 7 thousand years until Darc became vulnerable, which gave the monsters a chance to eliminate him... He was one of my best creations and my very best friend."

Sage sat there listening quietly to Logia's history about the black sword and his friend Drac. He felt empathetic towards Logia because he too was reminded of Mark.

"Anyway I gathered his remains and handed it to the dwarves to forge a weapon for me, and that is how the sword was created. But when the dwarves handed it back to me, it emitted ominous dark energy, the blue engraving on the sword is used to suppress its overwhelming power as a result, no was ever able to control it.

Well, that was until you came along, but it's still far too dangerous for you to handle. If a normal person had even gotten close to the sword they would have perished."

Sage's expression was blank, he would never have thought that a sword he picked up from the trash items was a deadly weapon.

"Ah, don't give me that face, with my help you'll be able to control it in no time, that is if you can survive till the end."

Logia with a vicious smile plastered on his face got up from the grass. He began explaining to Sage about the system.

"So, Logia how can I get stronger?"

"Well, with the system in your possession, I think you can grow stronger. But let's discuss how it works first... For starters I want you to think of the word 'Status window'."

Sage became filled with determination to become powerful. If he could do so he would be able to protect his family and friends.

"Alright, here goes, status window!"

A blue screen swiftly materialized before Sage, exhibiting all its information about him.

"So it really is like a game."

Sage could easily understand the way of the system because it was like that of games. But he still pondered about the word 'successor', he wondered what it meant.

"Sage, take a look at the sword and then look towards my direction."

Sage took a look at the sword. A purple screen appeared in an instant and he was able to see its status.

[*Your Level is currently too low to handle its destructive power.*]

"What is this!! is this weapon that destructive!!?"

"Well, it is a weapon made out of a powerful creature after all. Now face my way."

Sage turned towards Logia's direction, and he was amazed by what he discovered.

"Wait a minute, I...I can see your stats too!?! This is awesome!!! Let's see what we have here."

A purple screen morphed out of thin air and appeared before Sage.

"Wait why can't I see your age!? and why is your strength status so low? there's also nothing on stamina or agility, hey are you listening!?!"

Logia looked away with a face that was red with embarrassment, avoiding Sage's questions.

"Any... Anyway!! for you to Level up you'll have to get more Experience points, so its time to hunt some monster, that means mission time!!"

As soon as Logia finished his sentence, a green screen appeared before Sage.
