It was getting closer to morning with a thin mist covering the forest. At that time, Theo was fighting using the sword he brought, and it was Theo's first fight as a young master who didn't have any talent. He was with several of the main troops of Knight Caerstellar, fighting against his enemy.
"CLANG"
The clash of swords continued, Theo, with slightly shaking hands while holding the sword, managed to stab one of the enemy troops who seemed to be off guard. Then the Caerstellar troops also helped their young master, but on the other hand there were two enemy knights who managed to escape Theo's sight and the Caerstellar knight troops. The two enemy knights quickly tried to attack Theo's two younger brothers.
"SLASH"
However, suddenly Theo's mother came who tried to protect her children from enemy attacks.
"No! my children..."
"SLASH"
Instantly everyone fell silent with their gazes directed at Theo's mother who was slashed by the enemy Knight.
"Arrrgh... are you okay, my child?", The voice that felt pain but was so soft and full of love from Theo's mother.
"NO!!!! MOM!!!", Theo's voice was very harsh and full of pain seeing his mother pierced by the enemy's sword. Theo's tears flowed so fast.
Seeing his mother impaled by an enemy Knight's sword made Theo so angry, then his very sharp eyes directed at one of his mother's killers.
"You!! I will make sure to kill you! Tear your body apart!" Theo said with great anger, his eyes were so sharp
Then Theo ran quickly and attacked his mother's killer with the sword Theo was carrying. He attacked carelessly without knowing the basics of proper sword techniques. But none of Theo's attacks succeeded in injuring his mother's killer, instead Theo seemed to attack out of desperation, he didn't know what to do because he had no talent at all, only filled with sadness, anger and regret.
And in his heart Theo said,
"Damn, damn... why do I have to see the same events as in my previous life?"
"Why?"
"Why?"
"Why?"
And at that moment, Theo was hit by a slash from enemy troops. He was stabbed in the stomach just because he wanted to protect his mother and younger siblings. The Caerstellar troops tasked with protecting the Caerstellar Family had all fallen, including Cassian who tried to give the Caerstellar family time to train themselves, but ended up being killed by troops from two other noble families who also attacked the Caerstellar Family.
"Ugh... Is this the end of my life?"
"Do I... Do I have to taste the same death a second time?"
With the pain that Theo received, and the blood that came out of his pierced stomach, also the blood that came out of his mouth, and the sadness that was so deep that Theo's tears continued to come out without stopping.
Suddenly a familiar voice was heard again from the time when Theo was running away.
"DING!"

Theo, who heard the system's voice, felt that this was all in vain. Theo hopes that a miracle will come to him, but not when he is in a critical condition, and his and his family's lives are in danger. The body then lay on the ground.
"BRAKK"
Then, Theo's vision became increasingly faded, everything seemed to be pitch black, the last thing he saw was his father, Count Lucien, who was covered in blood, and was about to be attacked by archers from the enemy army. Theo could only see his father, but couldn't save him.
"Ugh... cough... dad... I... I have to save my dad. But, my mom, and little brothers are also in danger." Theo said while feeling the pain in his body, and coughed up blood in his mouth.
"What the..."
"What should I do?"
"Why am I just a burden?"
"Why can't I help at all?"
"Why is my luck so bad!?"
"And... This system? What's the point of this system if I'm going to die in the end?"
"This all feels pointless."
Then a voice came back,
"DING!"

And when the system finished activating the protocol, suddenly the sky appeared to make a roaring sound, the wind that had been moving so cool suddenly stopped, then the leaves that were moving because of the wind also fell silent with no movement at all. And the roar in the sky was heard again, the entire enemy army and some of Caerstellar's troops who were still able to stand felt trembling, their bodies were afraid as if they saw something that was coming and it was very terrible.
Then the leader of the Knight team from the Virelle family
"What... what is this?"
"Why is there suddenly a rumbling sound?"
The ground around him began to shake, then Theo's body which had been lying on the ground suddenly floated in the air, then the wind blew hard and the sound of thunder and lightning sounds very loud. At that moment, Theo's eyes seemed to shine beautifully, the aura he gave off felt so cold and looked like darkness and light coming out at the same time.
"DING!"

Theo whose body was flying, and looked like he was being controlled. Then, Theo took out a windshield that surrounded his mother, younger siblings, and several troops who had fallen but were still alive. The wind shield was like a shield that circled around them rapidly and was extremely difficult to break through.
Then suddenly he seemed to disappear as fast as lightning and was directly in front of his father, who was currently unable to move due to enemy attacks, and was about to be attacked by hundreds of archers.
The system again identified an emerging attack, which was directed at him and his father.

After successfully identifying skills and elements, the system begins to take over control and manipulate the surrounding Earth Element. The ground around him began to shake, splitting and then rising into the air, forming countless sharp fragments. The system reconstructed the flying pieces of earth into thousands of pitch black and golden brown spears.
At that moment, thousands of spears were seen floating in the air, making the entire enemy army tremble in fear.
"That... what is that?" The voices could be heard from several enemy troops who were shaking in fear of what they saw in front of them.
[Command activated]
[Eliminate All Enemies!!]
"Thousand Spear Protocol, Execute!" Said Theo who was controlled by the system to kill the entire enemy army with thousands of spears.
"DUAARRRR"
Thousands of spears shot quickly like lightning from the sky and then plunged into the bodies of the entire enemy army and the leader who ordered this attack. However, not only did the spears stick, they also exploded simultaneously after falling to the ground. And it created a scene like a very large mass explosion, which was heard in the surrounding kingdom area close to the forbidden forest.
Theo didn't just stop here, he also delivered the next attack,
[Auto Trigger Skill: Activated]
Theo seemed to be flying through the air, his hands raised upwards, in the air, fragments of earth that had previously exploded began to gather again, forming a massive sphere.
"Destroy… Die… All of you!"
"DIE QUICKLY!"
"Destruction technique, Heavenfall Meteor!"
A meteor formed from fragments of Earth shot very fast, and faster than lightning, to the furthest distance in the entire enemy army area.
"BOOMM"
The entire area was destroyed and exploded, this explosion was even more powerful than the attack of thousands of spears earlier. This attack was heard in several kingdoms close to the forest area, the vibrations were even felt in those kingdoms.
However, because of the explosion, the surrounding area was destroyed and Theo, his family and several troops who were still able to survive, fell into a ravine because the footings in the area had been destroyed.
"DING!"

When Theo and his entire family, along with the surviving troops fell, suddenly a light shield in the form of a transparent blue dome appeared that enveloped and surrounded them all. Then their bodies felt light and slowed down when they fell at the bottom of the ravine. Finally, they survived to the bottom of the strange-looking ravine.
Theo, who had been controlled, suddenly...
"DING!"
