Chapter Text
Jin chul felt cold, just like the nights he sat under the moonlight wishing at the stars and the moon for love......Jin chul slowly opened his eyes, adjusting to the bright light of his surroundings.
(⌐■_■) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (•_•)
He removed his double tinted glasses and just stared at wherever he is.
The whole room was otherworldly in its own way, there stood giant pillars of white marbles and gold platings and incarnate designs on each of the pillars around the giant platform. There stood a lot of beautiful marble statues. each the size of the statue of liberty.
one statue kneelling in an offering position holding its hands out with a crown in its hand. The other looked up to the sky with an expression seeking forgiveness and hands clasped to its heart. The other holding a giant lyre. One statue had giant wings with halo over its head.
Between each of the unarmed statues there were statues which were armed with various weapons and armour.
Some statue were in a weeping position crystal like tears on their face as if they have lost their last hope for salvation. There were also statues with wings varying sizes and the pairs of wings they had. The coloured glass windows of temple had beautiful arts depicting some events.
There were two statues at the gates or doors of the temple? With a spear and a sword in each of their hands respectively (learnt this 'respectively' from maths °^°). They guarded a giant door which was just a grandeur of wealth and art, the gold crafted door with Handels made out of gems and the art and cravings on the door held so much elegance and meaning of ancient story of some sort Which humans were never able to find out about.
But Jin chul's eyes were drawn to the figure in the middle of the room. A being with a sharp face, it's face and hair held a white glow, no it was white. it wore a white long gown like clothing which was as white as it's skin, the dim golden bronze crown which had a halo behind it head with few spikes on the crown like that of a star. The beings bright golden eyes were terrifying yet beautiful as it reminded him of his own eyes bright golden pulsating with life and power. This was the same figure but as a statue in the double dungeon where sung Jin woo woke up as the shadow Monarch, but a more cleaner holy and alive version?
Jin chul stared at the being, as the being slowly In a melodramatic way pointed it's long fingers towards jinchul, which could easily crush him in its grasp (he will not think negative first). Jin chul just sucked in his breath. Bracing himself for whatevers coming to him.
The being spoke in a very soft soothing manner opposite to its appearance (no its appearance was very beautiful but the fear in jinchul is not to letting him think positive)
"Woo Jin chul!"
Jin chul just stared and the least he could do was give a small nod.
The being continued getting the confirmation.
"I am the absolute being, I am positive you are aware who I am"
Jin chul nodded as he let out the breath he was holding and gave a shaky 'yes'.
"I have brought you here for a task (entertainment), help the shadow monarch in killing the other monarchs"
Jin chul's eyes widened he was picked for this task, why? He wondered. The absolute being could have choose Jin woo, or Thomas andre or anyone of the S-rank but why him? And didn't jin-woo killed all the monarchs????Jin chul Mustered up the courage to ask the being in front of him.
"Why me?"
His voice was shaky and he berated himself in his mind for showing weakness in front of the god.
The being smiled (not the weird pedo kind of smile which the architect made the statue of the being do before), but a gentle one.
"Simple, you're more fit for this job than anyone you perfectly fit in the criteria, and the power level don't worry about that, that's something I can fix in an instant"
The being said in a monotonous tone but the underlying mirth was not hidden, as he pointed at jinchul, Signaling jinchul to look at his own body.
Jinchul did what the absolute being Motioned him to do he looked at his body and he almost shrieked In terror. The marble floors were polished to it's prime that he could see his own reflection.
Jinchul's golden hair which previously reached over his shoulders now cascaded below his knees in a neat step cut and split in the middle (similar to Gabriel from Mandela catalogue) his golden hair glowed unnaturally so where his eyes it had an addition of a white four sided star instead of his natural circular pupils. Jin chul noticed on his forehead he had a mark of a four sided star with a cross in the middle. and floating above his head instead of a circular halo was a string of plenty white four sided stars together forming a crown. He had the same crown but on his neck. Jinchul tried to touch the one on his neck but it was craved onto his skin like tattoo, even on his wrist so is the one on his forehead which glowed a beautiful golden and white. (Jin chul thinks this is some kind of shackles)
Jinchul also had 3 pair of golden white wings sprouting right behind his ears and his ears were long like that of the elves. He had 2 pair of wings sprouting from right behind his head, (how will he sleep now??). He also had 3 pair of magnificently large white with golden trimmed wings sprouting right from his back(now he can't really sleep), which he could move (that was stupid to think after all this is sort of his own body now) Gladly his skin complexion looked very much normal other than his arm up to his elbow being covered in golden colour which faded and merged with the pale complexion of his skin at the end of his elbows. His nails were unnaturally long and sharp similar to people with long artificial nailsm Jin chul slowly ran his tounge over his teeth to find his teeth indeed has gotten sharper similar to that of the vampires he have read about in fairytales.
Jinchul just looked at the absolute being with wonder shock and just confusion.
The being smiled down at him in the same gentle manner with an underlying tone which said he is planning.
"Now you have immense powers and I will not be sending you bare handed to the job, I will give you some gifts you will know more my child when you reach there"
The absolute being stood up and looked down at jinchul slowly carefully picking him up and placing him in its palm.
Jinchul shrieked when he was picked up by the being, he knew this was not his end but the uncertainty of the future is what terrified him.
The absolute being just stared rubbing jinchul on the crown of his head softly with its index finger which is as big as jinchul, jinchul could hug the finger like its some kind of body pillow (how much ever jinchul wants to close his eyes and sleep he wouldn't do that that's disrespectful) (jinchul is like a small doll in absolute beings palm)
The absolute being spoke in a soft tone.
"Sleep my child, once you open your eyes everything will be set"{fatherly moment with the absolute being I like this lol}
Jin chul could only nod as a sweet melody was played in the temple he could only guess thats its from the statue who had the lyre, and the soothing rub the being gave on the crown of its head was enough to lull jinchul to sleep. Jinchul wrapped himself with his wings around his body and comfortably slept in the palm of the being. The small smile gracing his lips didn't went unnoticed by the absolute being(this is how mothers must've lulled their children to sleep, something jinchul wished for a long time)
●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●♡●
This time jinchul awoke tot he sound of someone cooing?? Wtf. Jinchul quickly opened his eyes and what he saw were two people hovering above wherever he was laying. The lady had a beautiful white silver hair not because of ageing merely its her hair color she had the most beautiful pair of blue eyes jinchul has every seen they were as beautiful the ocean and the skies. Her face was very sharp and her lips were a bright red, she wore simple set of jewellery and a crown made out of sapphire which matched her appearance, all in all she was very pretty. {After typing i realised this sounded like the female version of gojo}
The man next to her was just.....handsome, he had a small smile, thats all he showed. One of his hands were wrapped around the lady, so that means they're a couple. The man had long silky straight golden hair with black strands here and there, his eyes were hetrochromic golden and red with slits in them, and he too wore a crown which was very simple and had an imperial topaz with imperial flame topaz. his face was sharp and appearance wise he is a 10/10 (jinchul has worked with a lot of people so he knows how to rate). But what caught his attention was the the four sided star symbol on the man's forehead, similar to his but the man in front of him had no cross but instead a red mini four sided star inside the white one.
Jinchul just stared at both of them as they were also staring back. He slowly lifted his hands only to realise they were they size of a baby's arm, jinchul started crying (he didn't want to but this damn body is just doing everything according to its wish) .
The pretty lady took him in her arms and slowly lulled him, jinchul didn't want to sleep but it was so comfortable in her arms he just slept. He always wished for a mother who would take care of him lull him to sleep sing lullabies for him so it was a dream come true for him even though hes not a child, he slowly closed his eyes drifting to the Dreamland.
(Time skip)
Jinchul slowly opens his eyes and realize that he is back in his crib and it's till morning the sun haven't moved much from where it was. he gazed out of the window. Not being able to move any of his limbs much he just lay there and stare at the ceiling which is very pretty and has exquisitive art designs on them. suddenly a blue screen flickered to life in front of him which scared the living shit out of him.
[ Welcome player woo jin-cul/ Eezekil the great TO THE PLAY OF THE SYSTEM]
Jinchul stared at the screen in bewilderment. WHAT. THE. HELL.
[WOULD THE PLAYER LIKE TO CONTINUE. PRESS
YES OR NO
IF PRESSED NO THEY PLAYER WILL BE MET WITH A PAINFUL END.
IF PRESSED YES YOU WOULD LiVE WITH GIFTS TO COME]
jinchul just stared at the words above him. Is this a threat. It looks like threat I mean it is threat who would say 'will be met with painful end' he was sane,.... he was calm... he was okay... he was alive... he was perfectly fine...gwenchana gwenchanyo. so he choose yes. he couldn't move his limbs he was wrapped like a burrito in a a blanket he just looked at the screen and mentally spoke 'yes' he hoped that would work.
[The player has chosen 'YES' well done
The player is part of the story 'rise of the shadow emperor'
You're the crown prince of the 'Sol aureus' empire.
You're the villain who is destined to die first in the hands of the hero]
'rise of the shadow emperor'. A novel which was famous world wide after sung jin-woo became a national level hunter. It was a story depicting a medival era, how the protagonist lives in a very bad condition with his mother and sister and being the lowest of the food chain, then after that a god blesses him and him rising in powers with the help of the princess and kills all the aristocrats and all the people who treated him like mud, starting with the crown prince who is apparently him now. Then he goes on conquering the whole world and yada yada he becomes the shadow emperor with a very large harem and power. He doesn't even remember the charecters name for god's sake and how they look😐 This story was inspired by Jin wood's rise in power ofc that made it more funnier.
Jinchul still remembers jin-ah reading the explicit parts of the book loudly to Sung Jin-woo and him. He ignored jin-woo the whole week and made him sleep on the couch (he did this as a joke but jin-woo was all sad the whole week and it was a headline) and Jinchul had to apologize and to let him sleep on the bed and give him plenty of cuddles. The cuddles also made up for his lost sleep due to paperworks made by his beloved and the other S-ranks (babies)-_- he also had to make him promise that this would never happen him having a harem and all it pissed him off he hated sharing. But he was willing to be shared but he won't share.🤷🏼♂️ (It is what it is)
The screen in front of jinchul started flickering as new words appeared on them
[The player have to live no matter what and fight the evil. Along with that build the protagonist and your powers and connection with the people MAKE ALLIANCES AND ALLIES.
Would you like to see your status and stats
YES OR NO]
jinchul looked a the flickering screen. What the hell is this system saying he will live, no matter what he have to he don't want to die. And he has to make the protagonist raise in power. Why? Oh yeah! So that he won't be killed duh 🙄.how can he be stupid. First of all he have to find the name of the protagonist if he is not wrong the author named the protagonist harry or is it Harlow, he's not sure 😃 step one he fucked up wounderfully, he sighed he don't have time for that now, and build connections sure he will do that. 'yes' he thought as the screen flickered again and showed new information.
[Player has chosen YES. Status and stats will be shown soon.

Jinchul looked impressed an S-rank healer, his suppose mother is so strong. Both of his parents are strong that he didn't have words to describe them anymore. If they both were to be in his world they would be unstoppable, thaye are so cool.
Jinchul looked at his mother with stars in his eyes (he already has four sided star in his eyes). Slowly his mother lulled him to sleep before he closed his eyes he thought 'system close'
[System closing good sleep, player⭐🌟]
