My Angelic System

As time passes, Kye managed to stop crying. However, his eyes were void of life. He killed all the monsters he came across, not caring anymore whether he was seen by someone.

His friends had disappeared, and he couldn't see himself living without them now.

The military was void of people as well. Not a single person was here. It was as if no one had existed in the first place.

So Kye killed monsters, then killed some more, until he cleared all the monsters were dead.

'What should I do, now?' Kye looked up at the sun that was slowly rising. He spent the whole night fighting and didn't even see the time passing.

He stood in the middle of corpses of humans and monsters for a while, not moving an inch. He waited and waited again, in the hope someone would come and find him, but no one came. He was all alone, exactly like before the military started.

His old memories started flowing into his head again, corrupting his mind slowly. Rage came back because of his old self and despair followed suit because he had lost those dear to him.

Kye's mind was a chaotic mess. He was confused, lost, and didn't know what to do. He felt like he had nothing left to live for. The emptiness inside him was eating him alive.

His heart was heavy with the weight of his grief. He remembered the days when he used to laugh and have fun with his friends, but now those memories only brought him pain. He wished he could turn back time and relive those moments again.

The world around Kye was silent, and the only sounds were the wind blowing through the trees and the occasional rustle of leaves. He felt like he was the last person alive, and that thought scared him.

He knew he had to find a way to move forward, but he didn't know how. He felt like he was stuck in a never-ending cycle of sadness and despair. The more he thought about it, the more hopeless he felt.

Kye knew that he couldn't stay in that state forever. He had to find a way to get back to his old self, to the person he used to be. But he didn't know where to start. The road ahead of him seemed long and daunting yet terrifying.

As he stood there, lost in his thoughts, Kye heard someone's voice. He didn't think of listening to it at first as it looked like a dream, but as the voice became louder and louder, he felt drawn toward it.

'Wake up!' The voice shouted from inside of him.

'...'

'I agreed to be bestowed to you because you were strong-willed, not because you were a crybaby, so wake up you damn fool.'

'You're the one who helped me earlier. Who are you?'

'Is it what's important right now?' The voice kept talking in an irritated voice. 'Are you an idiot or what?'

'Why are you even insulting me? And answer my question! Who the hell are you?' Kye started to get angry as well as he asked the voice menacingly.

​ 'Ahhh, now that's a speech that I like.' If the voice was a person, then now it would without a doubt be grinning. 'I am the trusted ally of his majesty. The great Li-...'

'Cut the crap and answer that damn question.'

"Sigh, those youngsters these days, never respecting their elders.' The voice sighed before finally revealing its identity. 'I'm your sword you jerk. The one you're using without skills for the longest time now.'

'...' Kye didn't find anything to answer.

'Are you seriously his majesty's son? You're too talentless to be his offspring. Yet he still says it's you. But you're too damn soft.'

'Why am I getting roasted by a mere sword? And who's this damn majesty? And why would I be his son, huh?'

'Why aren't believing in me huh?'

'Would you believe a talking sword talking to you?' Kye's voice was filled with sarcasm.

'You brat! Respect your elders!' Lightbringer's voice was in turn filled with frustration. 'I swear you're lucky to be the prince or else I wouldn't even have come to you.'

'And here we go again. Since when have I become a prince? And my parents are already dead you damn sword, so stop talking nonsense already.'

'You're a prince since the moment you were born you dummy. And I'm not talking about your adoptive parents.'

'My adoptive parents? Talk nicely of them or I'll destroy you.' Even though deep down, Kye knew that the people he thought of as his parents weren't actually his real parents, they were still those who took care of him until they have to go. They were those who made him of today. The kind Kye. So hearing such words made him angry even though he knew that it might be the truth.

'That's why I don't like brats like you. You are so stubborn that you can't even see the reality of things. His highness was mu-...'

'His highness this and his highness that! Screw this fucking highness and leave me alone already.' Kye shouted in his mind and made his sword revert back to its ring form to shut it down.

'Do you think you'll stop me by doing that?' The sword laughed as if it couldn't read the room.

'Shut up!' Kye shouted as he took off the ring and threw it away. However, the ring just bounces on the ground before coming back to his finger.

'Hey calm down now, I'm sorry for what I said.'

'...'

'Nonetheless, it's true.'

'You-...' Kye didn't know what to say anymore as he stared at the ring in disbelief. 'Seriously what do you want?' He sighed.

'I wanted to wake you up. I can't stand seeing you in this state. You were always standing tall and strong-willed, yet now you're just pitiful. Do you think your friends would want to see you in this state?'

Kye felt depressed at the mention of his friends. He was getting better thanks to the quarrel with the sword, but now that he mentioned that... 'How do you know how my friends would have wanted to see me? I'm all alone now. There's no one anymore, exactly like in the past.' Tears started falling down his cheeks again.

'You brat!' He snarled at him. 'I was here since the beginning. I know everything that happened since the moment you got me, yet you dare to say such things?'

Kye didn't say anything as he didn't expect Lightbringer to say so many things, yet he only said the truth, so he couldn't blame his trusted sword. 'And what am I supposed to do, then? It's not as if I have any purpose if my friends have disappeared, right? And if you know me, then you should know that, right?'

'I know how much you cared about them. I know how much you hold them dear to your heart. However, Kye, life is simpler than you might think. You might be alone now, but in reality, you are still surrounded by numerous people who are only waiting for you to meet them.' The sword started to talk with a voice full of wisdom as if it have lived for a considerable amount of time. 'What you think is the end is actually only the beginning. You might be alone now, Kye, but the person you are now is making people drawn to you, and so, no matter what. Those are the qualities of a prince as well, Kye. Even though it's still too early to tell you more, know that you will meet countless companions during your journey, so don't stop now or you might regret it.'

Kye pondered on those words. He really didn't know what to do anymore. He knew Lightbringer was right, yet it was hard to move forward. It was hard to brush over this matter so quickly, yet he had to do it.

'I...' Kye took a deep breath before strengthening his resolve. 'I don't know if I'll be able to do much in my state, but I'll try my best to carry my life.'

'Yes, that's the spirit.' The sword's voice was filled with happiness.

'But what's up with the prince this and prince that since earlier? Am I really a prince?'
