I created my own system

"Hey," he suddenly called, and despite the ongoing chaotic noise, someone answered him.

"Yes?" Even without saying each other's names, they seem to know whom the words are meant to.

"Think we can still carve our names?"

Apollo nodded. "We have a chisel, don't we?"

"You are prepared?"

"The moment you guys came here with us, I already knew I should have this." He chuckled, revealing a wrapped bundle.

"If you still have the strength lets go and write it down now"

"Pfft...hahaha...okay, okay" Klint stood up, and without many words, he took it, his hands trembling. And one by one, the rest of the second years gathered around, forming a circle. It seems upon seeing what's happening, all their energy returns to them. The other seniors also began to notice and knew what they were about to do. Suddenly, the music stops, and laughter turns into silence. All eyes rest on a single person, Klint. Then, as if guided by fate, he slowly walked towards the place they all knew. While the stars began to fade and the fog cleared away, a group of students walked in line, hand in hand, and reached a shrine. Their safe haven and safe place, in its depts a giant was located filled with promises and hope. A chisel struck its stone surface, and for the first time, Class 2898 was written among the stars. Stars that continue to light until another new one rises.

The morning moved like a breeze, and noon came in; the sun was fully rising while the entire students of the lower class were sound asleep inside the shrine they treated as a second home.

"Hmmm...."

"You up"

"Oh, it's you, Alicia"

Apollo and Alicia, unlike the rest who were sleeping awake and talking, were there looking at the wall calmly, deep in thought about each other's feelings.

"What's with that reaction did something happen"

"Nero is making his move"

"I figured since he is the only one who can make you look like that"

"Was it that obvious"

"A little, so what did he do this time"

"I think he ends up getting more powerful as we speak"

"Will you report this to Augustus?"

"I don't need to, I believe he is already aware of this"

"Then should we investigate just why the emperor let him go?"

"Maybe but not now everyone is still enjoying themselves, let's not ruin it"

Apollo was about to go where the others were when he felt a tug on his sleeve.

"If it's bothering you that much it means is worth checking"

Then that simple tug became a slight pull, "Let's go I will help you, we should ease your mind from worrying"

Apollo still looked confused, then Alicia added, "You know helping people is okay, but don't forget to help yourself. If it's worrying then it only means it needs to be addressed"

The boy's expression loosen up a bit and finally surrendered to Alicia's suggestions.

"Hmmm..."

"What is it? Why are you making that face Alicia?"

"I just thought it's unlike you to postpone something threatening. Are perhaps being too complacent"

Those words made Apollo think of his own decisions and he immediately shook his head.

"I am not being complacent nor underestimating Nero. I just felt like we shouldn't ruin the happy atmosphere just because of a problem that could be solved later. And from the beginning, it wasn't exactly my duty to worry about it"

"Do you perhaps want to continue living like this? Simple yet fun, no complications of your responsibility, and just completely ordinary"

"Was it wrong to wish for that"

"No, actually I'm really glad you have such thoughts. It means you value this school life that we have. Something that you find insignificant before. You were a person who had his eyes on something, and us appearing in your life was like a tiny obstacle, like a stopover that you will get over with. But now I see you put us in a different way and I am very glad you did"

A smile curved through her cold face, replacing her indifferent demeanor with something warm and welcoming.

"I am sorry if I ever made you feel that way"

"Don't worry what matters is that you change"

Then, as they exit the shrine and back to the Melandis steps, the space turns into a portal that immediately swallows the two.

The ground slowly vibrates as two silhouettes suddenly materialize from a swirling fragment of space. Those two figures were surrounded with darkness while two horns were protruding on their heads. The two intruders were welcomed by luscious plants and flowers that were put together like a garden found only in the most beautiful parts of the empire; in the middle of this beautifully arranged place was a small castle. It stood indifferently from the rest of the colorful things that surrounded it. Alicia did not expect that their enemy's last hidden base was a botanical-looking garden.

"Is this the place?"

"Yeah, this is where the tracker led me"

"Are you sure? Where did you actually put the tracker?"

"Oh, that? I just put it in his soul"

"Soul?!"

Her voice was a bit taken aback, but Apollo was too busy looking at the map to notice her expression.

"Multiple people are guarding this place"

"Yes, I can feel them as well, so what do you plan to do, Apollo?"

"Let's just scout the area and see if we can find some clues"

"Okay but the way I don't know if you felt it but here is this thing that I have been feeling"

"A dark, ominous energy that seems to envelop the area?"

"Yes"

"It was the thing I had been feeling before when I met Nero at the academy, beside the unpleasant sensation, the feeling of something foreign kept getting me on edge and now that feeling is even stronger than before"

"If it's unpleasant and foreign it only means that whatever Nero has doesn't come from Bunag"

Alicia concluded while Apollo nodded in agreement.

"A black ominous energy. I wonder what that is, what kind of foreign energy is taking Nero?" Apollo kept thinking, but soon his thoughts ended as soon as he saw how many guards Nero had left.

"A hundred" he noted.

"One hundred above celestial beings," Alicia said out loud, earning Apollo's attention.

"It seems you are aware that there is a rank above the celestial"

Alicia suddenly became silent this silence made Apollo look at her, but then the answer that she gave was a nod.

"Hmmm.... Did I say something wrong"

[I think it is more accurate to say that she simply wanted to limit what information she was about to say about herself]

"Again with her mystery origin"

While Apollo was talking to Jeremiah, Alicia finally spoke.

"Do you have any idea how others address these levels?"

Apollo just shook his head not knowing the answer, "I don't know"

"There are no definite titles for it and there are also no exact amount of levels but I label it like this"

Alicia's fingers touched Apollo's, and a surge of memory came to him. Letters from an old book came to him while a voice he had no knowledge of whispered words he could not completely understand.

{Celestial, Demigod, Titan, God and primordial}

Those letters echo in his mind along the vague words that slowly turn vivid.

{What do you think? This is a good way to differentiate the power scale?}

[System detected Creator's distress, initiating immediate response]

As the system reacted Apollo was brought back to his senses though only a second pass it was enough to make him confused about the owner of the voice.

"It was very familiar," he thought so, but then his attention shifted as he noticed Alicia looking at him without blinking.

"Let's go," he only said, earning a nod from her.

They continue walking as they did, so the heavy feeling continues that even in his demon form, Apollo finds it discomforting to move.

"Jeremiah can you adapt the power scale like the one inside the memory Alicia gave me"

[I can, but why?]

"I just felt like I should give me the updated version of my stats along with the remaining points I have left"

[Affirmative, Creator]
