The young boy was trying to understand the situation and from what he just saw. The woman--- no, clenching his fist, he understood it now, that was... her mother who was crying. Emotionally distraught, tears started to come out in her eyes while closing her mouth with both hands, looking at the dead man's body.
The reincarnated 8 years old boy can only stood there, started to pant slowly and heavily while watching the dead body of a man--- again he quickly changed his thoughts and that was... his father lying on the ground.
In that kind of situation he already had a short seconds of painful story in his incident but right now, loud screams in agony, blood spluttering, roars of monsters and the dead body in front of him was much more dreadful experience.
With that kind of sight he started to darkened, clenching the middle of his chest, looking pale and feeling out of breath, but then a sudden hug of a woman covered him and she was slash by an invisible blades at her back.
It was her mother, bitting her lip in pain, which the blood that stained in her abdomen, painting around her clothes and back. She then touch the young boy's face gently closing her eyes with a smile and giving a kiss on the forehead, to make his son reassured and not to be scared. The young boy then said.
" What... is going on... "
" *Gasp!* I see... So it did work out, but why... why now... "
The mother understood something else but with a quick realization she continued.
" No... I'm really... really happy right now that you are here... My dear son... "
The young boy didn't understand what she was talking about, but hearing the word son, makes it clear that the woman was really her mother. But what he didn't understand why her mother was confused for a bit and suddenly being happy in a saddened eyes.
The mother wants to explain the situation, but there was no time on that. Instead she removed her golden pendant that has a magic circle and a symbol of sun carve on it, gently reaching the young boy's hand and gave it, clasping it together.
She then got up, turning her back and a light started to lit up on her right hand.
" Survive... and remember it always... your real name... is Rev Von "
It was a mother's last words, the young boy can only think that she wasn't even her real mother, but doesn't understand why there was a word real in her sentence. He started to pant slowly, expecting a word of run or hide, instead on what he heard from the word ' survive ' it says a lot of meaning.
For him which it's already inching in his head trying to get the meaning out of it ' Don't die as I protect you, Don't die even if you don't have parents anymore, Don't die even if you are alone, Don't die in this world, Don't die... because I know that you will live happy in this world, so survive... be happy and live... my dear son '.
"I..."
He want to say something else, but he started to cry, gritting his teeth while clenching his both fist, looking down at his own feet. He then heard a word " Go " from her mother but seems, hesitated and wanted to say something, gulping down his own words, sniffing while crying then wipe off his tears.
" I.... I lo-- I'll survive! "
What he really want to say was ' I love you mom' but instead he also give the same phrase with a meaningful word to her mother. His mother turned and a gaped formed on her mouth, smiling and closed her eyes for a farewell.
The young boy was still crying, he wipe of his tears again and again and started to run leaving her mother behind. He want to look once more but he understood the short word 'go' like ' run and don't look back'.
The mother looks at his son's back with a satisfied smile, she turned back with a serious face onto the monster. Two more monsters descendent, different body and different forms of species, a Chimera, analyzing their appearance she was sure that they aren't an ordinary one and a heavy pressure was oozing out with just their glare.
The mother didn't step back nor scared and approach his husband on the ground " its okay... our son will live " even knowing that his husband was already dead she still want to voice it out, reassuring it that their son will survive amidst in the chaos and the new story that he will have. With a light in her hand that shines, one bright circle show on mid air and two more on her sides, then called out their mythos role.
" Come!! One of the Heaven Guardians 'Seraphim'!! ' Chalkydri'!! and come! One of the seven deadly sins, the primordial guardian! 'Wrath'!! "
Roaring the name like it was her last strength, the flash of light became more brighter and brighter as it reach Rev Von's whereabout, where he was still running and saw a half destroyed house, he then went inside to hide.
Monsters was blinded by that light and the mother who has yellow eyes, golden hair whispered.
" Chalkydri... Wrath... this is my last order as your master... Protect--(*sob*)... Behave well and protect... my dear son "
Struggling to stop her tears she changed the first word because she already know their personalities, with her sad teary eyes and a gentle smile on her face, it almost likely that all of the living beings cried. Seraphim side glance looking at her master with sad face, Chalkydri kneeled and close her eyes, accepting the command, but in the corner of her eyes they can see that she's resisting the droplet to fall. While Wrath close his eyes, placing his right hand on the middle of his chest and said " I will ", the beautiful mother smiled back.
" Then... go, do... as it was planned "
At that Chalkydri and Wrath vanished in a thin air, as the bright light was slowly diminishing, means that she doesn't have much time to spare, so she ordered, roaring the name 'Seraphim' to defeat the three monsters.
As for Rev Von, looking afar, he doesn't know what was going on, but only cried, he doesn't know anything, doesn't know why he was in different world but only wants to understand the situation more. From the light which is slowly diminishing, afar from her mother's sight he didn't notice that an emblem mark appeared on his right hand and lit up faintly.
That was then the time when the soldiers of Dantla Kingdom show up, with the soldiers shouts, the monsters that roamed around started to roar and they fought each other.
Rev Von who was watching, panicked nervously, he can't do anything since he doesn't know how the system world works nor wanting to know if he has some kind of power, an advance theory from him but he can see a phenomen that shows where normal person can't do.
For him all the hobby, informations and experience that he did in the earth and memories of the body that he reincarnated on, all of the experience---
" Ahh... That's right, "
As Rev Von approved on something he close his eyes, taking a slight inhale, breath it out and opened his eyes again, showing a serious expression. The emblem lit up faintly but he didn't notice it, accumulating all the memories that he has in earth and little of the present body, eyes brimmed with serious resolute, his mind and intelligence becoming more shaper, brave and maturing little by little.
Understanding all the information he had and everything he needs to do, that was then he notice a human knight approaching the house where he hides. He let out a nervous expression, look around and saw a rough stone, picking it up, closing his eyes and smack it in his own head.
He used too much strength, injuring his head where blood started to flow, wobbles and sat on the corner, closing his eyes while holding the golden pendant that her mother gave. That was then the old human knight rescue him, healed him, took him in Dantla Kingdom and adopted him... as his grandson.
*---------------------------------------
Several days happened, Rev Von who keep on swinging the sword, panting, letting out a sigh and mumbled to his self.
" Sigh... I'm tired practicing those weapons but I'm more tired reading books... still I have no choice if I want to survive, first thing first I need knowledge, everything in this world. "
After he was rescued they healed him, feed him, took him on a bath and the old man who adopted him was busy taking care of the papers works. Rev Von took that chance rummaging the books to read, but by simply reading, won't be enough for him to study everything on what he wanted to learn.
Looking up and lifting his hand as if reaching the blue sky where he started to read books again. Firstly Rev Von wasn't surprised that he could read that language, he didn't have time to be surprised anymore because he doesn't want to waste a single seconds.
He read and read and read holed in his bedroom for a month, the maid where panicking since their young master didn't came out of his room, although he did eat all the foods that they bring from his door. The old knight who was watching the young boy, pity him with sorrow face he must have thought that Rev Von is still in shock after what he just experience.
So the old knight give a space and wait for him and planned to only take small step on getting closer to the kid, bit by bit. The old knight didn't know that Rev Von was only acting like his eyes are dead fish. It must be hurt for others and maybe even his parents if they knew that their child wasn't him all along like there was other human or soul that posses their child, but he grit his teeth slightly and had no choice, but to act.
Until then when both of them got closer it was the time when Rev Von started to ask the old knight to teach him. Combats and weapons he use those and practice them, he also do some few work outs to build his body and stamina and started to read books again. It was already a cycle of his life, doing those activities repeatedly.
The old knight can only watch and to cheer the young boy because he thought that Rev Von was doing those acts for something like getting stronger for a revenge. He was curious and ask the kid Rev Von what would he do if he attain a desctructible power, but his answer was just simple one thing ' nothing.... for now ' and add more words to reassure his grandpa's curiosity.
" just you know if I gain a power like that I would really take revenge but... not in intent were I could go berserk and destroy my self "
With that, the old man knight mouth gaped, smiled then pat Rev Von's head smiling warmly and argued, talk, walk, exercise, spar, eat until then the two of them got closer.
*---------------------------------------
Rev Von who was laying on the ground opened his eyes, standing up slowly and shrugged off the past memories he just remembered---
* Pack!!
" Ouch! What heck grandpa! "
