My Angelic System

"It's something that I found during my journey a very long time ago when I was still young. However, as a monster, I can't learn such a power. Only humans can."

"Do you mean...?" Kye sucked a cold breath as Aria nodded.

"That's right, it's an ability orb."

"But-..." Kye looked down. "You already saved my life, explain to me a lot of things, and now you want to give me an ability orb?" Aria was shocked when she saw Kye with tears in his eyes. A little boy with such a big spear was crying? For real? Was it even possible?

"Don't cry Kye," She smiled to reassure him. "I don't have any use for it anyway nor do I have any close relative among humans. So why would I not?"

"B-but, how would I-I be able to repay your kindness?" Kye kept looking down because he was feeling awful to receive so much while not giving anything in return.

"Hmm, that's a good question," Aria thought for a moment before continuing. "How about coming here to keep me company now and then?"

"W-what?"

"You will be surprised at how boring a long life is. Especially when you already discovered almost a lot of things," She began to explain her reason. "People tend to attach wisdom to dragons, but even though it's half the truth, it's not complete either. All beings who live a long life have a lot of wisdom to share. But once you know a lot of things, even that gets boring.

"However, meeting you today was probably the most interesting thing that happened for as long as I can remember. My next words can appear rash, Kye, but you're an anomaly. An interesting anomaly that I'm sure no one ever saw in their life. However, instead of keeping you in a cell to study you, I prefer being close to you. A long-time relationship is far better than you harboring hatred for me. Especially if you achieve greater things in your life later."

Hearing all of that, Kye couldn't help but think. "Is my holy energy also affecting you?" He even almost stops crying.

Almost.

"Haha, of course, no. I'm immune to holy energy with low purity in it. It's the same for demonic energy. It's just my genuine feeling," After letting Kye think a little, Aria continued. "So, will you accept?"

Kye began to think deeply. On the one hand, the ability Aria would give him must be strong since it was able to hide Holy energy. But on the other hand, there was also his friends' ability. Every single one of them was strong. And he couldn't refute that if he were to learn one of them, he will get incredibly stronger. However, choosing one also means refusing the other, which could create conflicts among his group of friends. And Kye didn't want that. So after almost five minutes had passed, Kye finally said with conviction.

"Can you tell me more about the ability you're talking about? As well as how you discovered it and what do I have to do to learn it?"

"Sure," Aria smiled seeing the resolve and the determination in his eyes. "I discovered this ability in the ruin of an ancient civilization. No one knew about it. Not even my parents. Though, maybe even ancient beings than them would know. As for the ability, from what I can observe, I would say that it's related to space, or most precisely, astral things. So stars and all the things inside space.

"As for the thing you have to do to learn it, I would like you to learn it once you become a real Angel. I don't know anything about this ability, and I don't want you to die because of something that could have gone wrong. So as a superior being, your body will surely be able to control such energy and not crumble under it."

Kye squinted his eyes hearing her. This ability was a complete mystery. No one knew how to use it, nor what it could really do. It could either be something extremely strong, even stronger than the abilities of the four big families, or something mediocre. It was a gamble. A gamble that Kye was willing to take. He was sure that if what Aria said was true, then the astral ability would be extremely strong.

Though, he will have to learn everything on his own since he won't have any model to learn of.

"Then please, let me go and fight monsters," Kye stood up with determination once he weighed the pros and cons. "Also, tell me how I can enter the barrier without the intelligent monsters killing me."

"Come here little boy," Aria smirked as Kye reluctantly walked toward her. She then pulled his shirt out, making his top naked.

"W-what are you doing?" Kye put his arm on him to try and protect himself.

"Pff, don't worry, I won't do anything suspicious," She pulled his arm away and put her hand on his chest. "Not bad. You're still pretty skinny, but muscles began to form well,"

"Wh-...? Arghhhh!!!" Kye wanted to exclaim his surprise hearing her but got assaulted by a pain he didn't felt in a long time. It was as if his blood was burning inside his body and wanted to come out. It made him scream and shout at the top of his lungs to try and alleviate the pain.

However, the pain didn't dye down and just continue assaulting his body without rest. Thankfully, after two seconds that seemed like decencies to Kye, the pain went away.

Kye was now lying on the ground with half-opened eyes. "W-what did you do to me?" He tried to get up, only to fall again.

"I gave you a friend seal. You will be able to enter my territory without any issues, and other intelligent monsters will also let you go without a fight. It's the same for other King and Queens of other territories. They will surely be friendlier toward you if they sense my friend seal," She smiled as Kye cursed internally at her kindness.

She seriously wanted to beat her up right now, but couldn't anyway. So after getting on his knees, he checked his chest. There was a little engraving on it. It has a long aquatic snake as its form. Before he could get up, he heard a noise coming from behind him.

*Kewkew*

*Kewkew*

"Seems like a new day had begun. You should probably sleep and go fight once morning comes. Monsters are fiercer at night after all."

Kye nodded, but before going, he decided to do his daily quest. He only needed 10 EXP to be level 5, so he did it under Aria's strange look.

Even though Kye couldn't level up by killing monsters during the exam, he still did his daily quest while the others were sleeping. Thus, in three days, he managed to get 3 times 15 EXP.

So after finishing two of them, he finally got a notification in front of him.

[Congratulation, you are now level 5]

[Beginning of the wings growth]

Kye still felt the pain inside his body. It had already been a minute since then, but it still hurt him. However, he didn't expect to feel another type of pain just after that.

"Arrghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

"Kye are you okay?" Aria asked with a lot of worries, surprised to see him in pain again. A seal's pain happened only once, so she didn't understand what was happening now. Until she saw something on his back changing.
