Chapter 1

"Greetings, master. Congratulations on binding to the magical system. Coming up is your first mission, time travel."

Kurt flinched when a transparent screen suddenly flashed in front of his eyes. The screen's display was complete with all the details about him.

Starting from his full name, height, weight, blood type and the most shocking part for him was the section of his achievements that Kurt had archived since his birth.

Kurt began to have doubts. What kind of system is this? From where does this system get all the complete information about himself, even half of that information he never knew.

Furthermore, the area around him was all in white colour.

"Where am I?" Unconsciously he asked.

"As an introduction, my name is system 07. I am a child of this magical system that has been assigned to assist and supervise you for the given mission."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Kurt felt his brain stop working when the programmed voice like a robot introduced himself.

When Kurt was cleaning the attic of his rental house, he found a strange coffer. The coffer looked like an antique treasure chest, just like the most typical ancient treasure.

From various sources and experiences, Kurt knew that old people often warned the younger generation to stay away from antiques because they were worried the items or treasures had guardians.

Guardians of antiques or ancient items and treasures were usually evil spirits such as devils and demons.

If someone touched or took that antiques treasures, the guardians would follow that person and a terrible calamity would befall him. So, Kurt decided to ignore the antique chest and continued tidying the attic.

That night, when Kurt was sleeping he had a strange dream. In his dream, he saw an antique chest that he had found at the attic. When Kurt saw the antique chest in his dream, he immediately woke up.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the antique chest. Kurt took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

According to the customs and beliefs of his ancestors, cursed antique items were passed down treasures to descendants or great-grandchildren or to the person who touched the item or treasure.

But the strange thing was, Kurt didn't even pay attention or touch the antique chest at all. Kurt was getting more and more worried about the strange chest.

In his mind, he only thought that there was an evil spirit that wanted to make a deal with him.

In his belief, it was a common practice to do in the past. The deals usually involved blood as it was called as blood covenant. His ancestors always made deals with evil spirits for their respective interests.

One of them was the tremendous strength from evil spirits and pure blood from human race. Human race starved for the strength while the evil spirits highly valued human blood.

Kurt didn't know what to do. According to the taboo of his ancestors, if humans greeted the creatures of evil spirit's world, then it meant the humans were agreed to make a deal.

A deal with evil spirits was a bloody curse that required the sacrifices of the human's entire lineage to an evil spirit. Their life and blood would be bound to the existence of the spirit until they died.

"Congratulations, you have found a hidden system. Please verify your identity to continue the game."

Kurt flinched when the antique chest in front of his eyes suddenly made a sound like a programmed robot.

Kurt's brow furrowed, he went from fear to confusion. Antique chest but it sounds like a modern times' thing. It looks like this thing is having identity crisis issues too.

Kurt got out of his bed, and moved to turn on the light.

After his room was lit by lights, he noticed, the size of the antique chest right now looked smaller than the last time he saw it.

The colour of the antique chest also looked golden unlike before. Before this, the antique chest colour was dark brown.

"Please verify your identity to continue the game." Once again the robot's voice rang out. Kurt looked at it strangely.

"Game?" He asked in confusion.

What kind of game in an antique chest with robot's voice? I thought antiques thing often sounded scary. Is this the evil spirit of modern times?

"Please verify your identity to continue the game." The antique chest continued to ring out. The longer the antique chest rang, the louder it became.

It was two o'clock in the morning. Kurt was so worried that someone would knock his door or complain the source of robotic noise to his landlord later.

So, without thinking too much about the consequences and wanted to avoid neighbours' complaints, Kurt took a bottle of water from the bedside table and poured it over the antique chest that sitting at the end of his bed.

According to his logic, everything related to robots must not be exposed to water. So, if he poured water on the antique chest, the antique chest would be damaged.

But unfortunately, when Kurt pours water on the antique chest, the antique chest says, "Congratulations, your identity has been confirmed."

Before Kurt's mind could think of what was happening, the antique chest started to shine brightly until Kurt could see nothing but a blinding white light.

"Greetings, master. Congratulations on binding to the magical system. Coming up is your first mission, time travel."

Kurt felt like he was about to pass out from the shock.

The white light was slowly disappearing until Kurt's eyes could see the surrounding area again. But not long after, he felt like he was about to pass out again, he wasn't in his room anymore!

Kurt's eyes looked around.

Everything was in white. Everything in the area was in white colour.

Table, sofa, tv, wardrobe, all books, all in white. The only thing that was not white was his pyjamas.

Kurt looked at the transparent screen that was filled with his detailed information again before he repeated his words slowly, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm sorry master but this is not something nonsense. Master, you have been chosen to carry out a mission for the magical system which is a high-class system from the future."

Kurt growled angrily. "I don't want to listen to your nonsense system. Send me back. I didn't make a deal with you. I don't want to have anything to do with an evil spirit. Well, send me back."

"Master, I am not an evil spirit. I am a child of the magical system, System 07, the high-class system from the future."
