MY ANGELIC SYSTEM

"Oh? Well, I didn't expect that. Ain't every angel got one naturally?" Aria asked at no one in particular, but Kye still shrugged.

He then took the object. It was a beautiful halo and golden in color. He then read its description.

[Due to the host's current level, the halo has hidden features and its stats had been lowered to match the host's capability.

Name: ???

Stats:

Strength: +1

Agility: +1

Stamina: +1

Special effects: ???]

Seeing the halo in his hand and its description, Kye couldn't help but remember his sword. Both seem to have the same effect so far. An increase of his overall stats by 1 since he was still too low levels, while its special effects were hidden as well. And Kye couldn't help but wonder this time. 'Are all the objects I'm gonna get be like this? Those that means it's like a growing object that will get stronger as I am getting stronger?' He thought with enthusiasm. 'I want to level up even more now!'

He hadn't managed to level up for a long time now. He couldn't go to the VR section since the writing exams came into place, and couldn't level up here since he didn't manage to kill any monsters. Not to add that he would have got into trouble if Suha, Maria, and John had seen his real capabilities. Maria and John were already hostile toward him, so they would have surely done something even worse than Kye could possibly imagine.

'But it doesn't matter now. I'm alone, and I don't have the military watch either, so everyone thinks I'm dead. I will try to level up as much as possible before returning. I don't want to let everyone think I'm dead for too long. They are surely all very sad, especially if my holy energy still affects them.'

Aria watched Kye without saying anything. His smile was enough for her to understand how happy he was. And since he was deep in thought, she let him be. Though, she didn't know why he was so happy about such a thing. After all, all halos were the same and didn't have any special abilities. 'That only confirmed the fact that he wasn't aware of the existence of other beings. All his life he must have thought that there were only humans and monsters in this universe. And when he slowly became an angel, he must have thought that he was alone in this mess. I guess the fact that he couldn't control his energy was a good thing. He managed to stay pure thanks to his friends that seems like they protected him. He isn't tainted by heavens either, so I guess it's a good thing.'

Aria couldn't help but have a radiant and genuine smile on her face. Kye looked like a baby who opened his first ever present at Christmas. He looked so happy and pure that even her mood was affected by it.

"Kye, do you mind if I inspect this as well?" Aria snapped him out after five minutes of revery.

"Yes, of course, you can," He replied with a beautiful smile.

'His smile is dangerous,' Aria thought as she took the halo.

She did the same thing as earlier. She dropped a drop of blood on the halo, tainting it red a little before being golden in color again. And this surprised her greatly. Though, she had never seen such a thing, so she just went into the other realm and inspected it.

This time, instead of a black space, it was a white and blinding space, making Aria's eyes squinting a little. It was clear that this halo was filled with pure holy energy. Even stronger than normal holy energy. 'How can he get something so precious?' She then approached the halo in the middle of the realm which was heavily chained like the sword and was shocked by it. 'How can it be sealed as well? And this time by the darkest demonic energy I've seen?' Aria widened her eyes in shock. To seal demonic items, holy energy was needed. And to seal holy items, demonic energy was necessary. However, both energies which sealed the respective items were so pure and dark that they could only belong to far superior beings, even superior to normal angels and demons.

'It's clear that this halo isn't the one every angel has,' Aria began to think. 'Although it has the same appearance, if one knows how to inspect it, then it would be easy to see that this halo is far superior to any other. However, its power is also sealed like the sword, meaning that its power is far too great for Kye at the moment.

'Then those that means that both seals will slowly be lessened as he gets stronger? But it takes centuries to ascend in both angel and demon rank, so will he have the time? Especially when our parents are this mad?' Aria couldn't stay longer here since it was draining her energy at a rapid state. And once she came back, she saw Kye still smiling like a child. 'He looks so innocent. I hope he won't be tainted by any race,' She smiled internally before giving it back to Kye.

The latter put it above his head and waited for a notification to appear, but even after several seconds, still, nothing appeared. So he asked Aria. "Is it normal that I can't change its form like my sword?"

"Pfft, yes it's normal," Aria chuckled at his expression filled with annoyance. "A halo shows that you're an angel, so no one can hide it."

"But aren't wings hidable?"

"Yes it is, but halos arent," Aria said. "Wings are part of your body, so once you can control the energy inside your body, you would be able to hide them. However, halos are made only by holy energy, and no angel can hide them.

"How did angels manage to mend between humans then?"

"Even though they don't hide their halos, they can put them wherever they want. Though, everyone keeps them on their head since it's a pride for them to have such a thing?"

"I- I see," Kye looked down. But won't the military know that I'm strange if they see it? After all, I'm sure that angels have a very high position in society. And I don't want to confront them now. I'm not strong enough for that."

Aria went deep in thought. On the one hand, she didn't really care about humans. So she couldn't really understand his worry. But on the other hand, she knew very well that Kye couldn't defend himself against the military that was one of the strongest forces of humanity, as well as the angels who will surely try to understand such a strange being. Not to add demons that will surely hint him down since he's an anomaly. Very few demons didn't fight with angels and the same for the latter. It was those who didn't see any point in fighting and preferred keeping the balance stable to not let the world be destroyed. Though, it was a very small minority, so the large majority always wanted to fight the other to show their superiority.

"I may have a solution, but you will have to prove to me that you're worthy of such a power."

"M-may I know what power you are talking about?" The atmosphere became serious and heavy, showing how important it was for Aria.

"It's something that I found during my journey a very long time ago when I was still young. However, as a monster, I can't learn such a power. Only humans can."

"Do you mean...?" Kye sucked a cold breath as Aria nodded.

"That's right, it's ..."
