Beginning

Capital City, Kingdom of Bur

In the royal palace of the in the capital city, a young man was lying on his bed with his body covered in bandages. He was Zeno, the young king of the kingdom. Earlier, he was attacked by an assassin trying to take his life. But luckily for him, the pendant that his dead mother gave to him has a protective charm that envelope his body. Which blocks the majority of the assassin's attack.

Zeno was physically weak, he has a poor health and always sick since he was kid. Right now he was 19 years old, and he was crowned as the king of his small kingdom.

Ding... Synchronizing with host...

A robotic voice sounded inside his head. Zeno who had his eyes closed frowned deeply.

Ding... synchronizing finished...

Inside his mind Zeno ask, "What are you? and why are you inside my head?"

"Host I am a system gifted to you by the TRUE god himself. He took pity on you and give me a system to you" the robotic voice inside his head replied.

"A god took pity on my? ha ha" Zeno said to himself with a self mocking laugh.

"Then what can you do to help me in my pitiful situation. My people is against me, my fiancee and her family leave my kingdom and go to the capital of the empire. I am only a king in name, the one who truly controlling the kingdom was the duke" Zeno said as his heart was full of grievances.

"Don't worry host, everything that should belong to you will definitely belong to you. Those who dare to oppose you will become your stepping stone towards greatest heights. With me beside you, everything is possible as long as you have enough system points" the system replied inside his head.

"What is system points?" Zeno curiously asked.

"Host, system points is the one you will use to exchange some items, techniques, weapons and summons to me. In other words it is the currency you will need. In order to have system points, host can finish some mission given by the system, exchange some items and by killing people or beasts" the system inside his mind said.

When he heard what the system inside his head just said to him, the frown on his face disappear and replaced by calmness. Inside his mind he was so excited that he wanted to jump out of his bed. Because ever since he was a kid, he has a weak body and was always ill. Now that he has a chance to become stronger, he began to imagine what he could do.

"But I am still weak and I estimate that I will be in bed for a week. I think my enemy will take this chance to finish me off because they failed the last time" Zeno said inside his mind.

"Don't worry host, the TRUE god prepared a gift just for you. You just need to think of opening the gift inside your mind and it will open" the system replied.

Zeno then began to do what the system just said, inside his mind he saw a huge floating box, 'This must be the gift that the system was talking about, Zeno then thought, 'OPEN!'

The huge floating box as if alive started to shake and exploded inside his mind. A bright light covered his consciousness and he feel his body getting warm.

Ding... Host congratulations for opening the gift.

Ding... Host receive the following...

-Heaven Severing Sword Arts: Contains different stances and techniques of a powerful sword arts that is capable of cutting mountains and severing the heavens.

-Absolute Mastery: ability to master any techniques or skills in fast pace.

-Celestial Body: your human body will shed its skin and transform into a much more powerful and destructive body. Your physical strength would be unimaginable and ordinary weapons won't be able to wound you.

-Heavenly Cutter: a black sword that was once used by the most powerful swordsman in the whole universe. Its blade can cut through any type of metal like cutting through a butter. When it is draw, there will be a massacre.

-Royal Guards: summon 4 royal guards that will fight for you.

Several information entered Zeno's mind, he gritted his teeth as the intense pain suddenly spread throughout his whole body. He could feel his skin getting ripped off, and his bone continuously breaking. His whole body was covered in sweat while the whole transformation was taking place.

Several minutes later, Zeno open his eyes. The bandages on his body was removed just like his previous skin. The bone that broke inside his body was reattach and now he feels completely new. A black sword was floating just before him, it is a pure black sword that even the lights inside the room was being sucked in. He clench his fist and could feel his muscles tightening, Zeno then holds the sword in front of him and made a single swing.

*swoosh*

A light glint was fired from his sword which cut the wall of his room. He then went out to check where the sword strike ends and was shock on the scene in front of him. Several trees where cut in the direction in where he swings his sword. It was cut cleanly as if there is nothing there.

"System can you show me my status" Zeno asked the system.

Ding... Showing status

Zeno-Lvl. 1

Occupation: Celestial Swordsman, King, Cheat Owner, Chosen by the TRUE God.

Zeno was slightly surprised when he saw his status. He only has a King occupation previously, but now 3 other occupation was added to his status.

"System can others see my occupations when someone analyze me?" Zeno asked.

"No host, if someone tried to analyze you they won't be able to see anything as the system will automatically block it" the robotic voice replied.

Zeno nodded inside his mind and ask again, "Then system from the gifts that I received, there is a summon. How can I summon those Royal Guards?"

"Host just need to think of summoning them and they will appear in front of you"

Zeno then began to think of summoning the royal guards. Four streaks of light suddenly appear on the ground, then four shadows slowly emerge. The summoning only takes several seconds before finished. In front of him four individuals were kneeling, they were all wearing golden armor and have a gold sword hanging on their waist.

There were 2 males and 2 females in front of him. They all have similar armor and they have the same golden hair.

"YOUR HUMBLE SERVANT PAY RESPECT TO THE KING!!!" the four all shouted in unison which makes their voice reverberated in the whole room.
