Chapter 1:

Unknown Awakening

1 Billion Years Journey


"In this universe, there is nothing impossible and by saying that something is impossible, you just limit your capabilities. In fact, just believing something unreal is the first step for realization, so believe it, believe that someday what you believed will be your reality" – That is the phase I only remember, I only believed, and that phase helped me to continue this journey which took 1 billion years to complete it. Don't worry, I will not take your time like this journey, I will keep it short. But don't forget that each part in this story took me so long, so long for me, so I will expect your impression about my journey in return. Without further ado, Narrator will start this journey.

Everything started with the dream; the dream made him start this journey. In the dream, He saw his sister, she was calling him to wake him up:

- "It is not time to sleep, Nate, not now... please wake up, before being too late".

That dream was so realistic for him that he didn't know that he was in dream, so he didn't understand what she meant by saying these words. She said "Not now" part with such a low tone that he barely heard, but the remaining part of her speech was clearly loud. But in the last part of dream, her voice changed:

- "It seems that you are starting to wake up, don't forget our promise, okay, don't forget brother! We will meet in Moon's Gate; I'll be waiting for you there".

In fact, till that part, he didn't know that she was his sister. He didn't even know who he was, about his family, parents' locations. It is not like that he forgot them; it is more likely that he didn't want to remember them. Something, something inside him made him not remember. He woke up in the forest and there were tall trees near him, the ground he was sleeping on, was grassy dirt without any bushes. He didn't remember where he was before, but it didn't matter to him so much either. It was a sunny day, and the light was burning his eyes. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and simple trousers. While he was observing his body, he noticed a black mark on his left arm. This mark was so big that could not be ignored, and it was more like a tattoo than a wound.

- "Hmmm... Diablo's markings, what he plans to do by putting this on your arm. A hero does not need these evil marks".

– He heard a feminine voice near him. He turned and saw a woman flying with white wings and with white halo above her head. She had long blonde hair, dark eyes and pink lips, a big chest, petite body and thick legs. She was wearing a white gown, and she was like an angel. She started:

- "Sorry for scaring you, I was near you from the beginning waiting for you to wake up. My name is Seelie, I am an angel sent by God to lead you during your journey".

He started to talk emotionlessly by staring at her chest:

- "It seems that God knows my taste very well by sending this cutie with big assets. Thanks, God, for your consideration!".

She blushed:

- "Stop staring my chest, it is too embarrassing, they are only for God not for mere human, you pervert".

He continued with smile:

- "Sorry, sorry, I am just kidding. My name is Nate and an ordinary human".

She interrupted:

- "No need, I already know who you are. Nate Youma, 17 years old, virgin, a human with no memory, no relatives. I can continue those details further".

He said:

- "No need to go further, you already know me more than I know myself. Hehe he...".

He thought:

- "She told a lie; She said no relative, but I have a sister".

She continued:

- "You are a hero who will save this world".

He interrupted:

- "A hero?!"

She continued:

- "Yes, you have hero blessing, you can see its sign on your right hand!".

He looked at his right hand and said:

- "Yes, there is yellow weird symbol here",

she continued:

- "Yes, you are already chosen as a hero to save this world from Demon Lord and from today, your journey to defeat Demon Lord and to save this world starts. It will be a tough journey, but don't worry, I'll always be near you".

He said with a big smile:

- "Okay, that will be fun, but I have several questions for you. First, I understand this weird yellow symbol, but what about these dark markings. What does these signs mean?"

and showed markings on his left arm. She continued nervously:

- "Ahh hahaha... about these markings don't worry about them. It should be a mistake. I will tell you about them later".

He started to think:

- "She lied again. She said something about them before we met. Evil marks, Diablo's markings, she said. Why she avoided this question now!?".

He continued:

- "Okay, I'll wait for your answer. Then, next question, you said I have no relatives, but I have a sister, I remember it clearly",

she calmly said:

- "Who told you about that? You know I am angel, and I am sent by God to guide you in this journey, that's why don't fill your brain with useless information. You don't have any relative, keep that in your mind!".

He continued to think:

- "I know that she is hiding something from me, now I confirmed it. I should be more careful while talking with her".

He continued to talk:

- "That is a little bit harsh, can you give more trustful and normal answer?"

and she realized her mistake:

- "So-sorry, I didn't mean to say in harsh way. If I tell the truth, I don't know about your family and about these markings. I am just saying what information is provided to me to inform you. I don't know about details".

He continued:

- "Who provided this information to you?",

she answered:

- "God"

and he told:

- "Hmmm... it seems that God likes mysteries so much, so he wants me to unravel mysteries behind these markings and my family. That will be an amusing journey".

*** A few moments later***

- "Hey, Seelie. Haven't we got to the village yet? We are already walking 3 hours without stopping?"

he grumbled.

- "Nate, don't forget that you are already a hero, and you need to be ready when you encounter the Demon Lord. This walking is also a part of training, and we are already close to the village if I am not mistaken."

and he continued:

- "From the beginning, you are saying that we are close to the village, I don't see anything related to village and when will I see the end of this forest, I am so bored".

While they were walking, he realized something:

- "Don't tell me that you don't know exactly the location of village and we are lost",

she started to shake:

- "No-no way, we aren't lost, I know the location of village, it sho-should be near."

and he continued:

- "I am not sure about that. You also told the lie and understand your mistake when we meet, if we are lost due to you, I'll grope your boobs as a punishment".

She said:

- "Heh! Don't ever try, you pervert!".

He started to think:

- "When I touch someone, I hear his or her inner voice. That is my telepathy skill that I realized a few moments ago. Seelie has a skill that can check person's stats and skills, and it is called Appraisal skill. She can do that by touching the person's forehead. Before we started to walk, she checked my stats and skills with her Appraisal skill. I heard her voice though her lips didn't move, so that must be her inner voice. It also explains that she said something about markings when we first met. She didn't say anything actually, but I heard her inner voice because her wings were touching me at that time. It is also strange that she didn't see my Telepathy skill while she was checking my stats and skills. It seems that this skill is not related to hero status, it must be related to these dark markings. Demon God's markings! What secrets do you hold?!".

She said:

- "Hey, hey, hey can you hear me?! I want to give you good news, but you are zoned out. Look! Amara village is nearby. You don't have to grope my boobs. Safe!",

he continued:

- "So, you are not denying that we were lost a little time ago."

and she continued:

- "It does not matter already we found the way to village, there is nothing to worry about".

He said:

- "Seelie, I want to make a conclusion from what we have talked about before. It seems that I appeared from nowhere in the forest, I have a hero blessing and I don't know what benefits this blessing has. Because of this blessing, I have considered a hero to save this world from the Demon Lord, and you are angel to guide me in this journey. We need to go to the capital to get sacred sword from cathedral to slay Demon Lord. For that reason, we need to go to the nearby village to travel to the capital with merchants".

She confirmed:

- "Yes, you are right. In the village, I will introduce you as a new hero of this world to people. They'll help us to go to the capital easily, you can even recruit new members for your hero party in this village".

He continued:

- "Seelie, As I see clearly, you can fly with your wings. Why did you bring me to the capital by flying, you can even find the location of village from sky?!"

and she answered by shaking:

- "You know yeah, I can fly, but I am considered the angel to watch this world. Because a new hero is born, my responsibility increases, and I also should watch and guide you, not do your all work".

While she was talking, he touched her wings and heard her inner voice:

- "Hhhhh... he shouldn't know that I can't fly so much because I gained weight. Now what I am talking about is not lie, it is truth, I am just avoiding revealing the truth about weight gain. My job is to follow this pervert till he gets sacred sword, the rest part is just watch him during his journey from distance. If I drag him to the capital by flying, it wouldn't take much time for me. I don't want to spend so much time with this pervert. Ahhh...These big boobs also decrease my mobility during flying".

He thought:

- "I know from the beginning, that she is just making excuses. It seems that she gained weight, but where? What am I thinking!? It is obvious that it will either boobs or legs. Don't worry about that, dear Seelie, thickness is the greatest blessing". (The Narrator thinks: Do these parts important so much for this story?! I don't understand this person at all).

He answered:

- "I understood, Seelie. I will do my job and you will watch, and don't worry about your weight".

She shocked:

- "He already knew that".

They finished talking and continued to walk. They were greeted by an old villager when they entered the village. This village was old, houses were a few, small and old. The farming area for animals was smaller than normal, each house could keep max a cow or 2-3 chickens. The road for village was dirt road. The angel attracted people in the village, and everyone gathered around her. She introduced Nate to the villagers, and they were happy when they heard about the new hero. They mentioned that merchants will start to visit the capital from tomorrow, therefore they advised that the hero and angel should rest today. They agreed to their suggestions and the villagers spared rooms for them for free. They spent the night in this village.
