The bandits leader's fireball shot forward with any warning. Atlas scrambled towards the side making the fireball miss him although it burned half of his ear, the sound of a distant explosion mixed with Atlas's scream. Despite the pain, he ran forward knives in hand and pounced on the bandit leader. The tattooed man was stunned and couldn't resist until Atlas slashed his left eye making him let out a pained grunt.

He raised his hand and slapped Atlas to the side making him spit out blood.

"Ahhhh!! My eye!! I'll kill you bastard!!" The bandit leader shouted and ran to Atlas's fallen form repeatedly kicking him. In his rage he didn't care how Atlas raised his knife wielding hand until it came upon his thigh. A squeal left his mouth as tumbled on the floor clutching his leg with the knife still stuck on it.

He pulled the knife out of his leg with gritted teeth. "You bastard, Now you are going to suffer!!!" He raised his arm.

"Soul Magic: Soul tortu-" Before the last syllable could leave his mouth he felt a cold metal digging into his head. Before he died he didn't even know who killed him.

"Atlas!" Alya said panicked as she examined Atlas letting out a small sigh of relief. Other than his burned ear and small bruises he was okay.

The sound of pained screaming drew her attention as she carried Atlas on her back. She cautiously walked out and was stunned to see several armored knights stabbing the bandits. The passengers of the caravan were huddled on the floor gratefully staring at a girl who was at the back of a heavily armored knight.

'I guess that's the big shot's daughter.' Alya thought as she slid silently to where the caravan members were.

*************

Atlas's eyes shot open as he sat up. He looked around him and saw that he was in a room that looked more fitting for a Noble's bedroom. He slowly got off the bed wondering what happened after the bandit leader knocked him unconscious.

Atlas jumped in fright as he stared at the strange blue screens that had abruptly appeared in front of him. He moved his hand to touch them and they disappeared from his sight.

"Player system.... What is that?" Atlas muttered in confusion when another blue screen appeared.

Atlas gaped at the screen, reading through it carefully had left him baffled. Since when was he a hybrid?. His parents had been humans as far as he could tell. What was wrong with his age? He was 16 years old this year, why was it showing question marks, was it a faulty system. The Game Master Job was another thing not to think of this World Mage Class thing. And what in the seven hells was this haunting screen in the first place, it was a player system so was this a game?

'How was u able to read any of this? This isn't the local language of any race.' Atlas frowned at the screen.

His thought process was interrupted as he felt something slam into his back.

"Atlaaaassss!" Alya exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around his body. "I thought you were dead!"

Atlas who had his breath knocked out of him could only shake his head. Alya seemed to realize that he couldn't breathe and let him go .

"Where are we now?" Atlas asked after he had recovered.

"We're in the mansion of the Grand Duke Roswald." Alya replied calmly and before he could react a red screen appeared in front of him.

[WARNING! DATA ANOMALY DETECTED!!!]

Before Atlas could react a red screen appeared before him.

---------------------

Atlas gaped at the screen. The rest of the screen was all question marks, but what he had been able to read was shocking enough. Apparently his sister who had been with his family for as long as he could remember– which wasn't much for some reason– so how come she was a literal Angel. He looked askance as he stared at the screen. The thing that drew his attention the most was her name, if this player system thing was true then even her name–the one she told him was a lie– her name was Annalise not Alya. The second thing jarring thing was her job, she was a player meaning she was literal evidence that there was some kind of game taking place perhaps this world was the game.

"Atlas what's wrong with you?" Alya 's no Annalise 's worried voice brought him out of his thoughts. He stared at her as if he was looking at a stranger. Her eyebrows raised at him and she moved closer to him wanting to touch his shoulder but he shifted away.

"Atlas?" She said concerned but to Atlas her concern was fake.

"Alyaaaaa! Where are you?" A loud voice interrupted them and the door opened revealing a beautiful girl with crimson colored hair and eyes which was a main characteristic of the Roswald family.

'Wait. How did I know that?' Atlas frowned.

"Alya why did yo- Wait your brother is awake I have to inform Father!" She said hurriedly disappearing out of sight. She returned ten seconds later however in addition to her there was a burly muscular man who shared the same crimson hair as the girl....
