My Angelic System

"And of course, if I manage to succeed, then heavens rewarded me, and if I don't, then a penalty. For example, I received the death penalty once, and it was horrible to think that I could die if I didn't succeed."

Aria squinted her eyes a little. She knew that angels could enter people's dreams, but she was also sure that Kye was an anomaly and that Heavens didn't even know he existed. 'Is he hiding something from me? What he said looks like the truth though. But yet again, it's not like we met for too long for him to trust me completely. So I guess he's hiding some part. I'm sure he's still seeing me as a monster anyway. "Then does that mean you received your sword as a reward?" It was one of the questions she wanted to know the most. She knew this sword well since it was a fallen angel that resided in hell who was the possessor of this sword. Yet this little boy possessed it now.

"You mean that?" He summoned his sword and put it on the table as Aria nodded. "Yes, that's right. Though I don't know anything about it."

"Do you mind if I inspect it?"

"Not at all, go ahead," Aria took the sword in her hand and made a small wound on her finger with it. "Are you insane?!" Kye stood up and was about to take back the sword so that Aria couldn't harm her anymore, but the latter just dodged him and reassured him.

"Don't worry, it's just to verify a little theory of mine," Aria said as Kye had difficulties believing her. And as if she knew his thought, she said, "Don't worry, I'm not a masochist, hehe," She then focused back on the sword while Kye was left blushing a little and then sat back.

If Aria had cut herself with the sword was to see if her blood resonated with the sword. After all, her blood had special properties that allowed her to see what couldn't be seen if it came into contact.

So after closing her eyes to focus, she appeared in what looked like a black space where only the sword was visible in front of her. It was the only thing that made light around. Though, it was wrapped in chains. So much that she couldn't even see the appearance of the sword. 'It seems that the sword's power is sealed. Hmm, then it's probably because the sword in its full state is too strong for Kye. Well, Lightbringer isn't the calmest of the sword, so I guess that's normal.'

She then opened her eyes and couldn't help but think. 'It's strange though. The last time I saw him was twenty years ago, and he still had Lightbringer with him. And since then, no war between heavens and hell had broke, so Heavens couldn't possibly receive his sword. And the seal, even though is mostly done with holy energy also has a tint of demonic energy. Well, I can only guess for now, so I will have to wait for Kye to tell me himself once he will know about it.'

"Did you find something?" Kye asked, eyes full of curiosity.

"Nothing that would weigh much for you right now, so don't let me cloud your mind," She smiled and handed back his sword. Kye wanted to press the matter to know what she saw, but it was clear that she wouldn't say more, so he just change his sword to his ring form. "Anyway, thanks for answering my questions," She smiled and then saw Kye hesitating. "Is something wrong?"

"Well, I don't want to sound rude, but do you mind if I stay with you for the time being?" He looked down, not daring to meet her eyes.

"What do you mean."

"I guess it has only been a day or two since I was almost killed, and if the military still didn't find me, then they will probably think I'm dead. And even though I'm sad for my friends that will think that I'm dead, I can't find a better opportunity to get stronger. I'm in the monster territory, and I'm sure I can be a real angel if I kill some monsters."

Aria's eyes looked angry as she asked Kye. "You want to kill those in my territory? Does my kindness has blinded you?"

Kye felt immense pressure upon him, yet he didn't back down. "N-no. I mean yes. I'm sorry for that, but it's the best opportunity for me to get stronger," The pressure upon him increased tenfold, making him almost breathless. This beautiful woman looked so terrifying right now that Kye almost forgot about her being a kind being.

Almost.

"HAHA," Aria chuckled as she retreated the pressure she put upon Kye. "Don't worry, I was just messing with you. To be honest, I don't mind if you kill. It's the law of the fittest, so if you're stronger, then you will survive. However, I will advise you against fighting those here."

"What do you mean?"

"My territory is deep into the sea of this planet where no one has access. Only intelligent aquatic monsters can come here. The mindless one stays above. And obviously, they are far more fit for your level than those here who are all intelligent monsters. And I really don't care about the mindless one. Though the intelligent, it's another problem. But you won't kill them if I ask you to, right?"

"Yes, of course. If they are under your protection, and you who had been so kind to me until now, why would I attack them?"

"Good. Really I like you even more now," Kye blushed slightly.

"But how did I come here if only intelligent aquatic monsters can? And is this the reason why the military didn't find me?"

"Yes, it's because of that. As for how you came here, I guess it's because you like the water so much," Kye looked at her strangely, not seeing the point with what he liked and that. "You are clearly not a monster, and even less an aquatic being. Yet you managed to come here without anyone's invitation. So that only means that you like the water so much that you managed to bypass the barrier hiding this place from humans and mindless beings."

"Is it even possible?"

"Yes, although it never happened in my territory, it happened to another one, so that's possible."

"I see, that's quite interesting then. Never did I think that it could save my life," Kye said before remembering something. He immediately pulled it out of his system and put it on the table?"

"What is it? It has holy energy, but how did you get that in the first place?"

"From what I know, it's a holy random box, and I received it after my friends prayed for my well-being three or four days ago."

"Oh?" It picked Aria's interest. "It's the first time I saw such a thing. Does that mean you will get something related to angels?"

"Yes, I guess that's right," He couldn't tell her that it was written in the box's description, so he just answered like this. "Do you mind if I open it here?"

"Go ahead," She smiled as Kye nodded.

He followed the system instruction and began to pour his holy energy into the box. The latter lets a blinding light out of the box, and after it died down, the box disappeared, leaving something on the table.

"Oh? Well, I didn't expect that. Ain't every angel got one naturally?" Aria asked at no one in particular, but Kye still shrugged.

He then took the object in his hand and read its description...
