[Detected that user's condition was eligible for memory transfer.]
"Huh?"
[Initiating...]
All of a sudden, memories of a hero named Den Grimar flooded into his mind. From the moment he obtained the system by chance at the age of 42 to where he was betrayed by his teammates.
Within his mind, a captivating scene unfolded. Den Grimar's whole 63 years of experience is playing like a movie. The scene was filled with his adventures, from adapting to mana to being the first batches to be chosen up to the point of being the greatest hero of mankind.
Moments passed in a blink of an eye. The young man was in a surreal state before coming back to reality.
"Guggh"
He almost vomit after experiencing the transfer of memories into his mind.
"I can't bear the aftermath of what just happened. It felt like I'm being tossed around in a big washing machine," he grumbled with discomfort.
Nevertheless, he couldn't shake off the imformation he had witnessed.
Den Grimar appeared vividly in his mind, the previous owner of the system.
The strongest among the chosens.
He was the one who truly cared for the survival of humanity, yet he was betrayed by his own comrades.
'Isn't he the ultimate villain of the Human Domain? So he was the hero all along...'
'What's the point of being the hero? In the end, he still died pitifully,' Sidius remarked, shaking his head over the past event. His mind was in heavy thoughts.
'A hero huh?' he suddenly mumbled.
Even when he was 014, he didn't like the idea of being a hero. All he desired was a peaceful life.
He believes that heroes always end up dying young, either sacrificing themselves for the greater good or becoming the center of calamities.
Being a hero meant a life filled with constant challenges.
"I am also working hard but I'm forced by the situation. If I were to choose I prefer to work smart and practice energy conservation," the young man remarked, satisfied with his idea.
'Don't worry Den, I will take good care of this opportunity you have given me,' he exclaimed in excitement.
'System! What are you?'
[I am a support]
'So you're a pet?'
[I am a support!]
'I also have a pet back on Earth, he was a K9 dog and his name is browny,' he said inwardly, reminiscing his good days as a mercenay.
Soon he remembered a word that was often mentioned from the memories of Den.
'Status' he murmured.
Suddenly, a rectangular holographic visual appeared before his eyes, containing his information.

=====================
Sidius' eyes flickered with indescribable joy, as if he was reborn for the third time. The disappearance of his growth talent means that his potential was limitless.
Chosens can awaken their potential at the age of 10 to 18 years old by the form of a celestial proclamation resounding in their mind, saying "Congratulation, you are chosen". This marks the start of their potential and the acquisition of the skill— 'Scan'.
However, those who failed to awaken their potential before 18 years old were unable to become chosens for the rest of their lives, unless one can encounter a heaven defying natural treasures.
When Sidius got his potential at the age of 10, they thought that he would have at least an A rank growth limit. However to their disappointment, he got an E rank.
Now, with his E rank limit transformed into a limitless growth talent, he felt an overwhelming sense of genuine happiness.
Filled with determination, the young man now had the confidence to execute the plans he had carefully crafted upon reincarnating into this world. The perfect plan to live a carefree life without anyone controlling him. The first step was, of course, to be powerful enough to beat anyone who dared to oppose him.
'Mother... Father... you never abandon us after all. Thank you for keeping safe of the mysterious book. With this, being a powerful chosen is not a fantasy anymore!' he said almost crying with gratitude.
"I almost forgot, System how long will the synchronization become complete?"
[The synchronization will be over in 2 minutes and 12 seconds]
'That's fast.'
"System, what will happen after it's done?"
[User can view the System's function.]
'Sweet!' he shouted inwardly.
As Sidius was celebrating, an unexpected visitor suddenly entered the room, interrupting his moment.
"Hello, I have some questions for you," the man in a casual suit holding a black rectangular tablet approached.
Taken aback, Sidius reluctantly agreed to entertain the manager's inquiries.
Seated near the hospital bed, the manager opened his device, ready to record their conversation.
"To begin, what's your name, age and rank?" the manager spoke.
"Sidius, 17, F rank."
The manager nodded and began typing on the white screen. Adter a while he continued the interview.
"Did you kill those six demonic beast?"
Caught off guard, Sidius hesitated for a moment, contemplating the potential consequences of revealing the truth.
Knowing this world, if someone knew that an F rank chosen brat like him killed six E rank demonic beast, It will more likely attract bad attention than a charity good.
"Six demonic beast?" he asked, feining ignorance.
Hearing this, the manager smirked, thinking of how much CA credits he can haggle for killing six E rank demonic beasts.
"Thought so. An F rank like you couldn't possibly defeat those," he jeered.
Sidius suddenly had the urge to punch the manager directly in the face but he remained composed.
'Stay calm, Sidius. Revenge will come in due time. Those corrupt individuals governing the Human Domain, I'll eradicate them myself,' Sidius silently reassured.
"Okay next question. Who killed those six demonic beast?" the manager asked, his brows narrowly furrowed.
Sidius slightly get the gist of what will happen so he decided to be more exaggerated.
"T-they were killed by a powerful chosen, he was scary..." Sidius replied in horror.
"Hmm..." the manager nodded observing the young man closely. "So, this chosen left quite an impression on you."
"Do you remember what he look like?" he asked again.
"He was wearing an all black outfit. T-that's all I know."
"Alright," the manager said while standing from his seat. "Questioning you further will just waste my time," the manager declared.
As the man departed, Sidius's gaze turned grim, harboring a deep-seated anger within him.
'Yes, he's really powerful. One day you'll see him in the flesh. I haven't forgotten how the government prioritizes the wealthy and influential while neglecting those in need. My sister nearly lost her life,' Sidius muttered under his heavy voice.
