Everyone Else Has a System

"Tell me O Regressor! Quid tu hic!"

I looked at him before answering that question,"I am here to change my fate… but what do the Overseers of Fate want from a person like me?"

"Ho! You have heard of us?" he asked with a surprised face and I spoke,"your brother, Alberthicus, died when he tried to kill me and take my powers for himself. He kind of explained how high and mighty you guys are."

After the third Cataclysm, there was a man who appeared in front of me out of nowhere and demanded to surrender my body to him. He spoke something along the lines of how he determines the future and how can he set my future to doom, to which I only answered with two respectful words,"F*ck off!"

They sounded surprised at my words before the front one spoke,

"We know that you killed one of us. But we did not know that he broke a taboo and revealed about us… now this changes many things…"

He was surprised not to see the part where I killed an overseer of fate but about the part that the overseer had revealed about them.

"Since you already know about us, telling you about us won\'t be a taboo anymore. Despite the wrong that he has done, Alberthicus has actually given us a chance to change the fate of this universe. May the Overlord bless his soul with a lesser hell than what he deserves," he spoke, and I smirked at them as I spoke,

"So much love among brothers, I see. I might actually puke."

Though the one who was speaking turned silent before all of them vanished and then… They appeared right in front of me. The one who was speaking moved forward and spoke,

"Young Regresser… our brother Alberthicus, controlled the fate Element of Death and since he has sealed your fate to die in the end… we cannot change that. But we come here with a request… an offer, if you would like to hear?"

I looked at them for a few moments before I closed my eyes as I sighed deeply before I spoke,"is that so? That surprises me." My voice was low… uninterested.

To die in the end… it sounds really scary but… honestly, aren\'t we all going to die in the end? What is so big of a deal about it?

Then I saw the man in the front speaking,

"We will change the fate of those around you…. We will make sure they survive… though we can only interfere 3 times."

He spoke, and I was a bit surprised as I looked at them before asking,"and… what do you want in return?"

"A promise… that you will let him live," he spoke as they looked at me and I wondered what they were talking about… It made me confused… who exactly were they talking about?

"Whom… are you talking about?" I asked with a bit of confused expression, and they spoke.

"Vulcan… The Guardian of Fire… please let him live. We beg of you… when the time comes… please don\'t let him die."

I saw the Overseer of Fates…. On their knees as they looked towards me. It confused me…

\'Why would I kill the Guardian of Fire? Aren\'t the Guardian our allies? Why would I kill a powerful asset like him?\' I was confused as I looked at them.

"I am sure you must be confused but… If you can do that much… we promise that we will come to your aid, when you require us," he spoke as he looked at me and I nodded at them.

"I guess… I will not kill him… "

I was hesitating after I said that… What exactly is in my future that will make me kill a Guardian? Shouldn\'t the Guardian be fighting against the Primordials and not among themselves…?

"We will trust you… and we will remind you… when the time comes. For now, we shall leave…" they spoke before vanishing away from there… However, one of them stayed behind.

Covered with the same white cloth, he observed me for a few moments as he asked,

"Killing brother Alberthicus. How did it feel?"

"Nothing. Almost everyone was trying to kill me back then so… it didn\'t feel really anything," I spoke and he asked again,

"Who attacked first?"

I turned to him,"it was me. He threatened someone that I cared about."

"How hard was the fight?" he asked again…

"Hmmm… hard, huh? If I were to set a difficulty, then…I had to bet my life on it," I answered and looked at him, turning silent. I observed him for a few moments and he spoke again.

"Did he say anything in the end?"

"You are a monster… Please let my brothers live if you see them," I told him what he spoke, and he sighed in the end before speaking,

"[Obscurum ferrum chaos]"

And the space twisted itself before something familiar came in front of me, out of nothingness.

"These are!!" My eyes opened up wide as I looked at them… Deaths of Duality… but shouldn\'t they be gone?

"I created the previous ones… these are better. I liked how they were used before… Use them… you are going to need them… if you want to kill the one you are going to face in the upcoming future. As for Vulcan… I don\'t think you will not kill him… but try your best to find a path where you won\'t need to kill him," he spoke as he looked at me and it made me look at him with a confused yet surprised gaze.

"Why are you-" I was about to speak but he cut me off as he spoke,

"Why am I doing this? I don\'t really know… maybe I can see your fate? Maybe I can see her future? Maybe I am pitying you? Maybe I am pitying her… I wonder why?"

Then he started walking away from there as he spoke,"We won\'t meet again… as I should be killed by my brothers after what I did just now… but consider this sacrifice… as-"

Then I saw him vanish from there as those blades kept floating right in front of me.

"What just happened?" Confused, I looked at that empty space in front of me.

[Author\'s note: All right, these are the end of all the confusing things I added. From the next chapter, the story will go smoothly as things will be revealed once by one.]
