Humanity was destroyed at the hands of gods. Every human died or should have died. One survived. One human who did not care for other humans and did not want revenge survived the attack. He became something known as a Harbinger. Harbingers are beings that are beyond normal understanding. Even the gods cannot control them. Clive Belmont, a teenager who survived the attack of the gods, set out on a journey to find peace and unravel the mystery of the System that made him a Harbinger. His journey would be long but as a Harbinger, he will not face many problems. He will harvest and become stronger in order to break free from the shackles of System and control the entire System.

Can I commence?

This day has dragged on for a while. I let the queen of this kingdom in and told her who I was. Foolish it may have been, it will pave the way towards the next phase.

After she left like a storm, I had a chat with System. I will have a secret meeting with System tonight. After this meeting, I will commence.

By the way, everyone has come back. I told Fiona that a person named Dorothy McBrine had come.

"What? She came? And you let her in?" (Fiona)

"I am a normal person. I can at least show some courtesy. I let her in and had a conversation with her. But she left like a storm afterwards."

"What did you tell her?" (Fiona)

"Who I am, where did I come from, stuff like that. But when the attack came up, she pushed the blame onto Aves family and left like a storm. Now, the king will know where I am and will send some soldiers to capture me."

I told her the obvious. Fiona is dumbfounded. I expected Fay to be so as well. But looking at them, they aren't even phased.

"Umm….are you guys alright with it?"

I ask them. Because, they are nodding their heads as if it's business of course.

"It really doesn't matter who comes anyway. So, how are you feeling?" (Aura)

"So so. But my <Spirit > has replenished a lot. I probably have…"

I really don't know how much do I have.

(Hey System, how much <Spirit > do I have now?)

(Mmm….you currently have little more than a million. It's still replenishing.)

A million <Spirit >? Then what is the maximum value?

(As you are right now, you can store 50 million <Spirit > at once. That value went up because your vessel was forced to improve itself.)

I see.

"Well, I have a little more than a million <Spirit >. It's still not at full capacity. But I can handle things. Besides, I have Aegis and Aera. I have already deployed a barrier around the house. Aera is actively searching for people who may harm us."

It was all true. When I said that, I deployed both of them. Been a while since I last used my powers. I can probably name the planet spirit as well. But I will wait till tonight.

Now, let's skip. I will skip the usual banter. I mean, nothing meaningful is happening anyway. I was warned heavily by Fiona.

It wasn't about me being hurt. It sounded like this,

"You have told the queen who you are. So, something might happen. Do restrain yourself when taking action so no bystander gets caught."

It was more like a reminder that I should not hurt any innocent bystander.

It's night. I mean, dead at night. Everyone is out cold. The moon of this world is similar to Earth's moon but the color is different. It's shining bright red.

A blood moon? I didn't notice it before but is it always like this?

I carefully leave the house so no one wakes up. After closing the main door, I bring out both Aera and Aegis.

"Aegis, deploy a stealth barrier. So no one can perceive us."

Aegis did so. It's great that I don't actually have to make the formulas for these barriers.

I keep walking. To the place where I am supposed to be crucified. I have made Aera mark it and we are navigating towards it.

We leave the city. A walk through the grass fields isn't bad. And the moment of truth came.

"Master, we are here." (Aera)

She confirms the location. It is the place. But the environment is different. It's inside of a forest. Maybe I have to trim it to make it look that way.

I cut a few trees and cleaned the overgrown grass. The soil has been solidified as well. It's starting to look like that place.

"It looks similar now. Let's take a break."

I sit on top of a tree trunk on the pile. I had piled up the tree trunks. It'll be useful for building the log cabin. Aera and Aegis take a seat beside me as well.

I bring out Doris and the planet spirit.

"Master, what are we doing in a forest at this hour?" (Doris)

"A secret meeting. Keep it a secret from the girls."

"Are you cheating on them?" (Doris)

Doris seemed like she was that type. The type who takes nothing seriously. I didn't reply. The awkward silence probably conveyed the message. She stopped her snickering.

"I have decided on a name for you as well. I hope you like it. From today, your name shall be Amaryllis."

Somehow, that name came to me after our meeting. A nice contrast if you ask me.

"Amaryllis, it has a nice ring to it. Master, what will my full name be?" (Amaryllis)

"If you want a family name, I only have mine. If you want Belmont then you can add it to your name."

I can't think of a good last name so that is probably her only option.

"Amaryllis Belmont. From today onwards, I am Amaryllis Belmont." (Amaryllis)

She seems overjoyed. Her calm demeanor has totally disappeared. I let her stay giddy until she came back to her senses.

"Now, let's commence the meeting. Only one more person left."

I try to talk to System. But that wasn't necessary. She is already here. I didn't even feel her.

"Yo, Clive. Surprised that you couldn't sense me?" (System)

"Yeah. You are using a body similar to a human's. So your normal energy is nowhere to be seen. I still am not used to this."

"Get used you it. Anyway, this is probably all of your first time seeing me in person. I am System. Well, my real name can't be revealed just yet so call me that. I am Clive's mentor in a sense." (System)

Doris is the only one who got surprised. Amaryllis did tell me that System was here. Aera and Aegis have kind of met System before. It actually is just Doris who is meeting System for the first time.

"I have gathered you all because I am plotting something. Behind everyone's back. As you are my direct dependents who live inside of me, I at least want you all to know my plan."

"Master, why go through all this trouble?" (Aera)

"I know that you all are connected to my memories as well. Still, I should give you guys an heads up."

"Clive, are you really sure you want it to be like that?" (System)

"Yes. You did say that you will go down with me. I have no intention of dragging Hazel or the girls with me. However, I can at least ask them directly if they want to go down this path with me or not."

I am making a really easy decision which can either be a good decision or a really dumb decision. Only time will tell.
