My Hermes System

A Speedster in a Fantasy World More than a thousand years ago, portals opened up in the world. Swallowing up the world whole with the vile creatures that came out of it. The humans struggled for years as their weaponry could only get them as far as fending them off. But everything changed when the first super human was discovered, a child that was born after the portals have appeared. From then on, the humans have discovered that there were others, and they all held the same power... A power that was known as the System. And those who were born with it were called System Holders. The System Holders, with their mysterious powers, were the ones who helped recover the world from the monsters, once again reclaiming it. And now, a hundred years later, a System Holder was born, the Holder of the Hermes System, the Gatherer of Souls.

Chapter 356: Lives That Were Lost

'Do you believe in god?' 

Perhaps that was a question that Van had been asked only once in his life. It was back when the Circle tried to visit his home back in the Relic Graveyard; and now that Van was thinking about it, they were probably recruiting people to test and turn into enhanced humans.

In truth, Van did not believe in any of those things, one might even say he abhors it-- for what kind of god leaves a child like him with a monster? But knowing what he knows now; that his father was just influenced to do the things he did; and that it was the doing of his own mother, one might even say that it truly and literally was the doing of a god.

How can he deny their existence, when two are right in front of him right now? And even he himself was on his way to becoming one.

"What… are you trying to say, Athena?"
