A Thing Of Chaos

A mass of chaos. That's what he was. A thing. Or at least, that's what he used to be... "What will you name him, your highness?" She smiled down at her baby, "I'll name you Aridam.." He never really had a name before.. And if you think about it, excluding the doctor that helped delivering him, she was the first living being he ever saw.. Roaming in nothingness for millions of years as a thing.. That was the life he has ever known. But somehow, he got reincarnated in the body of a newborn baby.. I guess he's a royal child now.. In a world filled with magic and celestial beings. Chaos never wanted loneliness again.. So the first thought that came to his mind once he opened his eyes.. Conquering this world.

A Letter From The Palace

The small dark magic missile moved at a high speed towards the maid.

Chaos watched with wonder as Aria easily dodged it without even blinking.

'Wait what... ?'

Athanasia smirked, "Don't sound so surprised, you can't become a maid for the royal family without being at least a second circle magician, dodging a dark bullet is nothing."

His gaze turned to the maid who was coming their way.

'Hm.. I thought I was going to kill her for a second.'

The princess furrowed her eyebrows at him in disgust, "Why the hell do you sound neutral and indifferent about it ?"

He merely shrugged and said nothing.

"Oh my god, what the hell are two kids doing here, if she finds out, her highness would kill me."

Aria bent down and scooped Chaos in her arms.

She looked down at Athanasia, "What happened ? Did the young master just use magic ?"

Chaos' gaze immediately shot to her.

'Don't...'

The princess smiled mischievously, "What ? No of course, I was actually the one who used it, I didn't think you'd be there. I'm sorry."

"But I thought I saw__"

"Anyway, my mother must be waiting for me down there. I'll get going. And don't worry, I won't tell Ms Veronica that you neglected her child and left him wandering around the house on his own."

Aria visibly shivered but she stayed silent anyway.

Before walking through the invisible wall, Athanasia glanced back at the baby and mouthed, "You owe me twice."

Chaos narrowed his eyes,

<Notice!: That girl needs to be eliminated.>

He smirked, 'I know..'

*****

When the guests finally left, the maid took him to his mother.

As expected, she said nothing about the incident or her thoughts about Chaos using magic.

It wouldn't be realistic to say it out loud anyway, he's still a two weeks year old.

Moving forward to the next day, Chaos was back into his bed, he had no mana left to do anything and the Mana Bless skill is still on cooldown so he technically can't do anything except for collecting mana from his surroundings slowly in the classical way.

It was boring as hell..

-Skills; Dark bullet: +Type: Dark magic.

+Level: Beginner.

+Cooldown: None.

'It doesn't tell how much mana does it cost..'

Thinking about it now, his system is pretty weird.

'Hey system, Isn't there supposed to be a level mechanic ? I mean like, you only tell me about what I have in my arsenal but you do not really tell me anything numeric or important like my level, stats, health or mana. The stuff the actual makes the system important...'

<Notice!: Do you want there to a leveling mechanic with quests and stats ?>

Chaos tilted his head a little bit, the idea was really fun..

'I mean why not ? It's more fun that way. Can't you do a reboot or something and add those features ?'

<Notice!: Yeah..... No. But it's okay to keep dreaming>

He was annoyed by then..

'Are you kidding me ? You're supposed to be a program that helps me get stronger, you're not even supposed to talk like that, that's not how programs work.'

The system didn't respond to that..

But Chaos still had nothing else to do so he kept talking.

'Hey you know, sometimes I actually wonder if you're like an entity or a god that watches over me and keeps sending texts to me like a creep because he's bored of life or something'

<Notice!: Look who's talking about being a creep, you took over someone else's body. And don't have anything else to do ? Like working on void magic or something>

Chaos sighed, 'I have no mana to perform spells, except maybe creation magic. And I don't have spells for that type of magic'

<Notice!: Unlike other types of magic, Void magic doesn't consume mana but it consumes the user's lifespan. You can't use void alone, nothingness in itself is meaningless, so you have to combine with another type grant ability limitless>

Chaos looked stunned at the screen, 'Are you kidding me ? Now you tell me that..'

<Notice!: You never asked..>

'Yeah sure I didn't..'

He cocked his head to the side a little bit as an idea came to his head..

It was actually rather simple, Void magic is nothingness, it's an endless space, he was familiar with that limitless darkness.

Even though he had no much mana left, he could still feel dark mana around him..

He closed his eyes and focused on it, collecting that mana on the shape of a cube and combining it with void magic... He should be able to create an endless space in that same dark cube...

The system didn't give him an inventory, and he needed a place to keep his items like books and weapons safe, so he wanted to make his own.

It would still cost him some of his lifespan, but if he thought about it. None of the parts of his body are mortal, when he was a void creature he lived for millions of years... So at least he'll live for a couple of thousands now.. right ? It wouldn't be that bad to use some of it to create this item.

<Notice!: Item Created: < em>Void Cube[Scroll for info]..>

Chaos flipped the cube in his tiny hand.. It was weightless, and once he infused void magic into it, it turned to Invisible.. Without his eye's skill to see the mana around it avoiding the cube, he wouldn't be able to feel yet alone see it.

-Item: Void Cube:

+Type: Void magic/Dark magic

+Level: Beginner

+Cooldown: None. [Can be summoned at will]

{It works as an endless space to restore any object the user desires for an unlimited scale.}

'For a beginner level Item, this is overpowered. Have you seen that system' Chaos moved the cube in front of the popped window Infront of him.

'I don't need you help. I can do my own stuff.'

The baby looked at the screen with a proud expression.

<Notice!: Yeah, sure you do LOL>

Yeah, Chaos was definitely annoyed again.

****

Days, months and years passed. It was definitely a little boring for a him, but it was definitely still better than roaming with no meaning.

Chaos went back to the library and stole alot of books to store in his cube and read for the next couple of years.

No one entered the library so nothing to feel guilty about, not that he would've anyway.

He had all the time in the world.. After the selection ceremony, there was no events he needed to attend except for going to tea parties with his mother. He realized that he hated partying a lot by then.

Chaos was sitting against the trunk of a tree, reading a boring spells book.

'Ten years have passed.. My birthday is next week. And I haven't met anyone from the royal family since the selection ceremony. Athanasia and Arthur didn't visit either. I don't know about Athanasia but I'm pretty sure Arthur thinks I don't remember him since I was too young once we met.'

Looking around, Chaos smiled as the wind blew his face, causing his silver hair to cover his forehead and a little bit of his eyes. He needed a cut desperately.

'God it feels like ages ago by now. I still couldn't use Chaos magic, but I was able to create a weapon using void magic..'

Thinking about it now, Chaos laughed. 'I remember the first time I created a scythe using Dark and Void magic. My mother freaked out.'

And he was also able to talk now. Surprise.

Leaning his head against the tree, he mumbled, "Nightfall Oblivion.."

A massive scythe triple his size appeared Infront of him, again it was invisible and weightless. But once he touched it and infused dark magic into the weapon. The scythe's color tuned into a mix of night and moonlight.

"Everytime I see it, it looks ethereal..."

<Notice!: Thanks ,I helped designing it, the name sounds bad though>

"What designing ? I was the one who imagined the shape of the thing once my mana level reached advanced."

<Notice!: For a ten year old to reach third circle though..>

Chaos lifted his chin in cockiness, "I'm amazing I know."

-Items: Void Cube; Nightfall Oblivion:

+Type: Weapon: Dark magic/Void magic.

+Level: Advanced.

+Cooldown: None. [Can be summoned at will]

{A weapon made of pure void and dark magic. It can theoretically cut through any magic attack of the same level or lower.}

<Notice!: Who chose the name, I don't get it.>

"Dude just shut up."

Thinking about it now. The system actually changed over the years too..

<User registered: Chaos>

<Race: Part demon-Part draconic-Part void creature>

<Magic Attribute: Dark magic Void Chaos magic...>

-Skills: Dark bullet; Vortex; Black Hole; Destiny of night; Clavis; Void Steps..

-Unique skills: Translation; Dragon Senses; Mana Bless..

-Ultimate skills: Eyes Of The Fallen..

-Titles: Dreams Destroyer..

-Items: Void Cube; Nightfall Oblivion..

-Class: None..

Chaos definitely learned a lot more than the spells registered in the system over the years. But some spells are ones that he never used like summon and protection types. Anything he creates using dark magic, he puts inside the Void Cube, and dark magic doesn't work for healing.. Only water, earth and light magic users have the option to be healers, that's why they're so rare. So to be more specific, for the time being, he's both an offender and creator type magician.

Chaos returned the scythe back into the system when he felt footsteps coming to his tree.

After training on it for ten whole years. He was able to prolong the time he could use his dragon senses to the entirety of the day. He wouldn't be able to use it at night after activating it for the day though since he needs to rest, so he kind of still has to work on that.

It was one of the new maids of the palace, Mia. She looked nice and innocent. Whatever that means.

"Young master ?"

Chaos stood up away from the tree and walked towards her.

She bowed down slightly before saying, "Her highness requests your presence."

Chaos cocked his head to the side, "Why ?"

His mother never requested his presence unless it was important. It was like their thing.

"A letter came from the royal palace."

'Ow yeah... I'm turning ten soon..'

<Notice!: Finally, we'll be having some action-filled drama>

Chaos rolled his eyes and followed the maid anyway...
