My Angelic System

So even after a few days of hunting, he hardly got 10,000 EXP. 'Why is it so hard to find rare rank monsters and higher?!' Kye thought with impatience as he just killed another ordinary rank turtle. 'No, why is it so hard to level up without an instant level up reward? It's annoying.

'And why do I have to become hungry now?' He looked dejected at the thought of having to go back and forth between Aria's territory and here to slay more monsters. However, it wasn't as if he could do something about it, so he reluctantly began to go deeper into the sea.

He killed all the monsters that came to him with either a holy ray when they were a little far from him or a swing of his sword when they were too close to him. And not a single monster managed to scratch him during this time.

'I wonder how in the world I didn't die back then,' Kye thought as he continued going deeper. 'I was completely defenseless since I couldn't even move a single finger, and seeing the number of monsters attacking me right now, it should have been the same back then. And yet I stayed alive and managed to enter Aria's territory before she healed me completely.

'It's quite strange actually. I'm sure the search team the military probably sent to find me went quite deep into the sea as well, and they surely had to fight a lot of monsters to pass through and continue searching. Whereas not a single soul even scratched me,' He began to think about the matter more and more, slowly giving him a headache.

'Is it because the whale's energy was inside my body? Or maybe because it was colliding with my holy energy? Or maybe the latter came out from my body and scared all the monsters surrounding me?' Kye kept making new theories without end. 'Or... is it heaven that protected me through the system? No, it doesn't make sense either.

'The system came from the necklace I got after my parents' death. It was the sole thing I inherited from them, and as far as I know, they don't have any relationship with angels or demons. They were normal humans. Not that I could have differentiated a human from an angel or demon anyway. But still, I'm sure at a hundred percent that they were humans and didn't have any connection with those two races.

'They wouldn't have gone to fight monsters if they had since they would have known their strength. So...' Kye paused for a moment because he just thought about something that made him extremely sad, even making his eyes watery. 'W-were they actually my parents? They were, right? Mom gave birth to me, right? Right?' Even though he was asking those questions, no one could really answer them as probably no one in the universe probably knew about their answers.

'Because how in the world did they manage to get this necklace in the first place? No, how in the world am I becoming an angel? Aria said it herself. There was no record of any human becoming a higher being. Yet I'm slowly changing and becoming an angel,' Tears couldn't help but flow from his eyes now. If what he thought was true, then all his life was actually a lie all along. All the memories he still had with his parents, the joy he felt when he was still a kid, the sadness when his parents punished him, and all those other emotions that made him who he was today. All of it could be a lie and only what he hoped to be and wished.

'N-no, not everything is false,' He wiped his tears away. Though, his eyes were clearly red now. 'All the memories I had are true and will still stay true. And I may as well be wrong and both of them are really my parents. As for the necklace, they probably buy it thinking it was just a pale-looking necklace.

'Yeah, I'm sure it's that,' Unbeknownst to him, he already entered Aria's territory. He thought for such a long time that he even forgot that he killed another volley of 15 ordinary rank monsters.

And as he was still wiping his tears away, something or rather someone appeared in front of him. 'Ah, that's right. Aria told me that if she couldn't come and get me, then she would send someone else in her stead.

The intelligent monster that came to get him was a woman around 165 centimeters. She had shoulder-length black hair, and from what Kye could see, she was blind because she kept her eyes shut. She also has a smooth skin and little but cute curves.

However, he couldn't inspect her for long because something unexpected happened.

[New quest.

Escape from this person.

Reward: +40,000 EXP]

'What's that?' Kye thought, perplexed about seeing such a thing now. He usually received quests where he needed to kill his opponent to instantly level up. However, this quest was asking him to escape this person as if she was dangerous. 'Isn't she one of Aria's subordinates? Why would she act hostile toward me? I even have her friend seal, so it doesn't make any sense. Or maybe it's because she's way too strong for me, so instead of trying to fight her, I need to flee? But yet again, why would she show hostility toward me?'

However, just as he thought about that, a spike which was made of ice suddenly his stomach.

[-10 HP]

"What?" Kye shouted in pain as he didn't understand how such a thing could happen. His eyes immediately glowed yellow, indicating that he had used his angel's eyes, only to see a myriad of spells that was about to be fired at him. ''Sh*t why are you attacking me?" Kye shouted as he began to swim all around like he had gone crazy to dodge all those spikes that looked like they were made of ice.

"How impudent. You dare ask why?"

"Yes, I'm asking," He answered as he began to swim away from her. And strangely enough, this woman swam at the same speed as him, thus always making a safe distance between them where Kye kept dodging the ice spikes, and later, the ice laser.

"You disgusting human!!!" The woman roared in anger. "You took my sight away from me, yet you dare ask why I'm attacking you? Even though you have our queen's blessing, she won't care if someone like you dies!"

"What? I never met you!" Kye retorted back. "And are you crazy? Going against your queen's order!"

"She won't care about the death of someone like you!!" This time, a strange flower fully made of ice bloomed behind her and enveloped her body completely.

Kye took this as his chance to escape and swam as fast as he could, even flapping his wings a little because things were clearly not going well for him. And as he was swimming away, he suddenly thought of a specific monster that he fought against days ago when he still wasn't even level 5.
