Talent Awakening

Chapter 3: Talent Awakening

Only a few minutes had passed after the plane's devastating crash.

In the mountain region covered in ice, there seems to be a mysterious ball shining in rainbow colors, and a few meters below it is a boy who seems to be on the verge of dying.

Aiden felt his mom's weight on his body as his eyes threatened to fall into slumber at any moment. With sheer willpower alone, Aiden opened his eyes and tried to move his hand as he noticed that his right hand was missing.

He moved his left hand to push his mother to the side as gently as he could.

"Aghhh, Aghh…" A cry escaped Aiden's mouth as blood seemed to flow out of his mouth as he tried to sit, and finally, after a minute of struggling, he finally sat up.

As his eyes followed the direction where his mom was lying on the ground and seeing her condition, Aiden started to cry as tears started to fall from his eyes with a mix of blood, and the mysterious shining ball seemed to observe Aiden as he had a mind of his own and started moving closer to Aiden. 

"Mom! No, no, no, wake up!" As he yelled from the top of his lungs, deep down he knew his mom was not going to wake up, as there was a big hole around her chest and multiple cuts and burns all over her body.

When crying, Aiden noticed the mysterious rainbow ball seemed to be coming close to him.

Seeing the mysterious shining ball, anger welled inside Aiden as he tried to move his left arm to destroy the shiny ball he yelled with blood coming out of his mouth.

"I am going to destroy you!, if it's the last thing I do!," Aiden said while trying his best to punch the ball, but the ball seemed to dodge the very last moment Aiden tried to touch it.

Aiden didn't even notice while trying to punch the ball that one of his legs bent at different angles, and there were multiple large and small wounds on his body.

While punching Aiden, he thought to himself, ' I am so weak if had the power like those characters he had read in those fantasy novels if Mom wouldn't have died'

He started to blame himself in this desperate condition not in the right mind right now.

'it is his own fault to be weak in this cruel world. If he had the power to turn the world upside down with the wave of his hand, not only Mom would be alive right now, but he himself should not be in this pitiful condition if only I had the power to change the destiny of myself and my mother.'

As for taking revenge on the mysterious ball that he believed was the reason for his mom's death it was buried deep inside his desperation to see his mother alive once again while losing consciousness.

But later he found that things were not as simple as they appeared to be, what had happened to him right had a deep mystery to it.

And if he was given a chance to live again he would forget that revenge if he gets to see his mom alive but he would never forgive them for giving so much pain to him and his mother, once again as tears of sadness fall from his deep black eyes one last time.

This was Aiden's last thought as his consciousness seemed to drift into slumber.

While Aiden is on the verge of dying, the mysterious rainbow-shining ball enters through Aiden's chest as his body starts floating a few feet above the ground, and it starts to merge with his body.

Wounds on his body start to heal themselves, visible to the naked eye, and his lost arm also starts to regrow itself.

A few minutes later...

As Aiden slowly started to open his eyes, he noticed there was no pain in his body and he quickly stood up.

"What? How am I still alive? I remembered I was slowly dying, and even my body felt even lighter than before," Aiden said loudly to himself.

Then, he noticed, that all around were only corpses of people broken plane pieces lying around, and blood painting the pure white snow red, and it seemed only a few minutes passed after the crash because some bodies still had fresh blood flowing from them. The blood had not even frozen due to the low temperature.

"Mom, where is mom?" Aiden said while fanatically searching for his mom hoping she would be alive just like him but his hope didn't bore any results.

As he noticed his mom's dead body a few feet away from his feet, tears threatened to fall from his eyes. As he was about to cry again, a captivating feminine but monotonic voice was heard in his mind.

[Ding]

[Compatible host detected]

[Initializing the Cosmic System]

[Connecting the cosmic system to the host's soul]

[Connection Completed]

"Cosmic system, host soul, connection completed. Have I finally lost my mind? No, this has to be real because I am alive right now." Aiden said it out loud while lost in his own thoughts, and suddenly a blue screen appeared in front of him.

Without saying a single word, Aiden stared at the blue screen in front of him. 'This looks like the cheat that the main character in the web novel gets, and with it, he face-slaps every single fucking being on the planet. Not to that level, but whatever' As Aiden thought, suddenly the same monotonous, captivating feminine voice sounded in his mind.

[The system is created to assist the host.]

[for a better understanding of the host. It is created from the host's memory.]

"Fuck, it can read my mind," Aiden said out loud.

[Yes]

[The system will assist the host in becoming the strongest power being in the cosmos.]

"Then can I revive my mother by becoming powerful?" Aiden asked.

[Yes, you can.]

[The system has stored your mother's soul; when you are powerful enough, you can find a new body for her to revive her.]

"Hahahahahaha!" Aiden started to laugh out loud as a heavy weight seemed to lift off his shoulder, and tears started to fall from his eyes.

Wiping away the tears from his eyes, Aiden said to himself, "Even if I have to become the strongest being in the universe, I will do it to see my mom again.

Deep inside he wanted to cause cruel suffering for eternity to whoever was responsible for his mom's death but he wouldn't shoot his foot some petty revenge to lose the chance to see his Mom once again.

After wiping off the tears from his face, Aiden finally focuses on the blue screen in front of his eyes.

"Oh, this is like a game," Aiden said. 

"Talent, bloodline, physique—this is some cultivation shit."

"But I have nothing at all. How am I going to be strong enough to revive my mom back to life?" Aiden said as his shoulders dropped, feeling sad for himself.

As Aiden was thought to have become darker and darker, suddenly a captivating voice sounded in his mind.

[Talent Awakening begins in 5 min, 40 sec]

[Do not lose consciousness while talent is awakening.]

[Good luck, Child]

#A/N: The bold text is when Goodess is the one who is talking to him.

"How does it feel like the system can feel emotions?" Aiden said this when feeling emotions in the system's voice and also the voice called him a child, not a host which is also different.

[Yes, I can feel emotion. I can talk normally to you for a few minutes until your talent awakens.]

"Then you are a real person; why are you helping me? What do you look like? Are you a demon who is trying to lure an innocent child into a trap?"

As the system(goddess) finds him very amusing, she replies in her original female voice while controlling her voice to not affect his mind.

[For an 11-year-old child, your tongue is quite sharp.]

Aiden listened to the voice that seemed to be the most captivating divine voice he had ever listened to in his life. He had the urge to kneel and worship the voice.

While gritting his teeth, Aiden struggles to stand straight. After a few seconds, Aiden finally begins to calm down. Then the same monotonous feminine voice sounded in Aiden's mind.

[As for how I look, I will grant you your wish now because you will not be able to talk directly to me until you are strong enough, and I will not have any energy left to be awake after your talent awakening.]

Suddenly Aiden's vision went black, and after Aiden opened his eyes, he seemed to be in front of a giant golden gate that had many mysterious patterns on it. 

"Huh, where am I? One moment I was standing on the ice plain; another moment I was in front of a giant golden gate," Aiden said as he began to check his body which felt almost the same, but he had the feeling that this was not his physical body.

Then suddenly the golden gate opens itself, and Aiden's body gets pulled in by a mysterious force he falls on his face. Aiden shamelessly got up as naturally as possible, not before doing five pushups on the floor.

"Oh, it's good to be healthy, and the floor is quite nice as well." Aiden said while thinking to himself, 'This demon is trying to act all mysterious in front of him and for embarrassing him like that. In the future, I will be sure to make her moan under me.'

100 meters In front of where Aiden is currently standing, lost in his thoughts, there is a majestic white throne with a golden design on it, and sitting on it is a goddess-like beauty that can't be described in mere words.

She has angelic white hair, an extremely alluring yet enchanting face, and a body that can be described in one word: perfection, with long legs, elegant yet thin arms, and perfect boobs that can fit perfectly in hands with a perky ass.

She was sitting on the throne dressed in a mesmerizing white dress with golden designs, with one hand on the chin and the other on the throne armrest, and her eyes suddenly opened as she listened to Aiden's thoughts, which revealed her bewitching golden-colored eyes.

She then waved her hand, and Aiden teleported in front of her, Aiden had no idea that he was teleported in front of a majestic white throne and a goddess was sitting on the throne as she stared at the human in front of her, and wild thoughts about her as she thought to herself, 'Never in a million years had someone talked to her like that. How dare this little? I will be sure to teach him a lesson.

Aiden, who has come out of his thought, moves his head to look in front of him, only to see the most beautiful woman he has seen in his whole life who can only be described in one word, Goddess, as Aiden, who is gawking at her openly, thinking, 'I don't think I have fallen in love with the demon.' 

But he rejects the ideas in his mind as he can feel something weird is affecting his mind.

She had read his inner thoughts again and a small blush appeared on her face and it quickly went away, for him to call her goddess. Aiden, who was still in a daze didn't notice it.

Then she looked him in the eyes, and as both eyes met, she released a tiny bit of her aura.
