An old story

‎The worst morning after the awakening ceremony... for Sage. Because he was famous for being useless talent in academy history. He was walking in academy hall and some students passing and looked at him. "The guy with zero affinity... I can't believe he is the heavenly genius's big brother... How tragic, poor guy."

‎

‎Sage walked through the academy hall and ignored all students' whispers. He looked calm outside. But inside, he felt like he was dying emotionally, mentally, in every way.

‎

‎He muttered, "They don't stop insulting me, will they?"

‎

‎Walter was coming from the head of hall and he stopped in front of Sage. He was also six-foot tall as Sage.

‎

‎His messy silver hair covered his handsome face. He also had a lean physique. He has eight-pack abs covered in his clothes.

‎

‎" Sage, I think you are in depression. But don't worry, maybe you got awaken in second ceremony. That will happen in next six months."

‎

‎Sage looked at his brother. Sometimes he feels like Walter is enjoying all of this bullshit, he forced a slight smile. They continued walking through the academy hall and went to the training ground. In training ground, students practice.

‎

‎Some students practice swordsmanship, others train their magic spells. Everything looked exactly like a fantasy academy, except for one. The timelinewas not correct. The blonde girl from yesterday, why was she in my academy? Walter muttered, "Hey Sage, you talking to yourself again."

‎

‎Sage blinked. "No, I was wondering why I was not awakened?"

‎

‎For a moment Walter was silent.

‎

‎Later that day, the academy assigned every student a temporary dormitory. Sage was in his room. He lazily lay down onto the bed. His room was large. A bookshelf. Study desk. A balcony overlooking the academy. A familiar blue screen appeared in front of Sage.

‎

‎[Ding!] 

‎[New Quest Available] 

‎[Investigate the Timeline Anomalies] 

‎[Reward: ??] 

‎[Failure: ??] 

‎

‎"Fucked-up up system, why are your rewards always question marks?" he muttered. 

‎

‎[Because I love mystery and play with you] 

‎

‎"I know, shit system, you're the motherfucker shit!" 

‎

‎[Thank you for your compliment, King]

‎

‎Sage was in angry mood and rubbed his Forehead, then another notification appeared.

‎

‎[Ding!] 

‎[Your lost memory fragment has been detected] 

‎[Loading...] 

‎

‎"What, which lost fragment?"

‎

‎Before he could react, the room went into darkness. Darkness spread all around Sage. Everything was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Then he was in a battlefield. Fire covered the sky. Mountains burned.

‎

‎The entire ground filled with corpses. Demons. Angels. Dragons. Giant demons. And Sage was standing in the center of the battlefield. No, he was King of Hell, Ignis Vex. His red cloak fluttered behind him. Red flames burned around his body. Thousands of soldiers stared at him.

‎

‎Not with anger. But fear. Then another figure appeared. The god of heaven, Skyler. White wings spread behind him. He wore a white cloak. The two blood-related brothers stood facing each other. Then Skyler spoke. "Step aside, Ignis." Ignis laughed

‎

‎The sound echoed across the heaven. "No, my brother. This war has not discontinued. Millions of lives die today. And you can't still stop me."

‎

‎From the other side, current Sage watched this. His heart pounded to see this. This was from the original novel. This moment is important in the novel. The war between hell and heaven. The moment the brothers became enemies.

‎

‎But Skyler's eyes looked not happy with this. As if he didn't want this fight.

‎

‎The full memory moment continued. Sage was seeing this.

‎

‎Skyler raised his holy sword. Golden light covered the sword. Ignis smiled.

‎

‎Then everything froze. An unknown voice echoed in Sage's brain: "You still haven't figured out what is happening here!"

‎

‎Sage asked, "Who are you? Why do you do this shit!?"

‎

‎But no answer. Sage suddenly opened his eyes. Sweat covered his face. He was lying onto the bed. The system window floated in front of him.

‎

‎[Ding!] 

‎[Memory fragment complete.] 

‎[I wish you enjoyed, King]

‎

‎Sage sat up from his bed. His heart still racing. "The scene I saw wasn't exactly the way I wrote it," he muttered. Suddenly someone knocked on the door. "Knock knock... Knock knock." "May I come in, Sage?" "Yes, come in." It was Walter, his little brother. Walter standing right in front of him.

‎

‎"Sage, you look in trouble. Is anyone bullying you?" "No one bullied me. I just had a terrible dream," Sage muttered. Walter sat down on the bed. Then Walter said, "Sage, I also get terrible dreams every day. Where I'm always standing before a man with golden hair and black eyes."

‎

‎But Sage knew, this is not just dreams. Shit. Sage began to suspect that voice in the universe of gods. Some voice whispered: "So the brothers may discover the real truth."
