《I am System》Main Storyline Quest
Advertisement
A few days passed, and Alice's group was only about a day from the nearest friendly camp. However, there were already signs of the enemy approaching from behind. Judging by the camp fires they lit, the enemy would catch up to them in about half a day.
To solve this, Alice, and her superiors came to a decision. They would travel in a straight line for a few hours, before slitting up completely, rushing off in random direction to reduce the chances of the enemy catching them. This way, the enemy would also have to split up to search for them, which would make confrontations easier. If the enemy did not split up, then barely a handful of people would be sacrificed based on luck, so that the rest of the people could escape.
After explaining the entire plan to the soldiers, Alice turned away from the sucken expressions of the soldiers. Since she was taking the leading role in the escape, she needed to eb the one to bear the hatred of the soldiers for making such a decision.
"Move out!"
The escaping soldiers began moving once more, and a few hours later, the mostly healed soldiers split up from a large and conspicuous group to scattered grains of sand in a forest of leaves, nearly impossible to find normally.
While everyone ran in all directions for about an hour before turning to the north and all heading towards the friendly base, one person stayed behind. This person had also run in a random direction for an hour, but had stopped there. This person was Alice.
'This… Is this how I wish to be remembered? The coward that ran away from her home, from her kingdom, from her continent, and nor from the enemy who was responsible for the deaths of her family?'

Main Storyline Quest- Revenge
The flames of revenge burn from deep within your soul. Having had everything in life taken from you, you feel insignificant. Unable to stop the tides of fate, you feel helpless. However, you never let go of the sparks of revenge that lingered within you. The time has come for those sparks to ignite into a blazing inferno that will take your enemy by storm.
Task: Destroy Roland, and kill the king and his immediate family.
Reward: Your brother Desmon
Note: Although you wish to kill all of your enemies, they are far too strong as of now. A suggestion would be to escape for now and build up your strength.
=============
Alice skipped through everything and glued her eyes to the reward.
'M- M- My brother…'
Her angry expression turned dazed and turbid for a while longer as her entire world was toppled upside down.
'So, the god of systems could revive people as well…'
This one statement explained everything, and her eyes returned to normality, before turning red once more, this time with anger, hatred, and most importantly, eagerness and longing for what had once been taken away from her.
'For my brother, I will kill all those Rolandians! I swear in the name of my late father Leonard Bard!'
Completely ignoring the note at the end of the quest notification, Alice turned around and sprinted only for another notification to pop up.

After almost completely blocking her vision, Alice finally decided that it was better to not ignore the God of systems, since he was a god after all. But how could she ignore the enemies charging towards her? How could she ignore the enemies directly responsible to taking way her friends?
=============
Tch! Go ahead then. But make sure you pick them off one at a time, and never go anywhere near the two strong ones in their group. They will instantly kill you off with no resistance from you. The rest is up to you.
~God of Systems
=============
With the plan in mind, Alice set off to kill Rolandians just like she had in the previous battlefield.

Domain of Man
Isolation is terrible. To feel isolated with your fellow man around you is worse. What if you were dumped in some backwards cave somewhere, completely nude, maybe with your family, or even completely alone? The age of pioneers, heroes, generals, and geniuses is long gone. Humankind has become numb to the world around it because of how paltry everything else is compared to the glory of its history, the sheer volume of their accomplishments, and the sum of its innovations. You can interact with people across the world, travel miles in mere hours, and never prepare your own food or shelter, and it's all accessible to even the normalest of individuals. Artificial intelligence is within arms reach in devices and computers and even houses, and neural interfaces aren't exclusive to the rich and powerful at this point. Someone far in the distance took notice of Earth, saw the multitude of hairless apes swarming its surface. That one went down the checklist to see if humanity had, in fact, beaten the 'game' of Life. Sure enough, they had gone above and beyond the requirements, but nobody had been watching. 'Why might that be?', that one wondered. Protocol was protocol, though, no matter how strange the situation was. They pulled the lever, they flipped the switch. It's time for New Game +. ??? Don't be afraid to leave critique or share your support! I really appreciate any feedback you can give. In any case, I sincerely hope you enjoy the story! It's going to be a wild ride.

Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: This story used to be known as "A King of his Own", but after some consideration I have decided to rebrand it. The first reason is that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the title. The second is that I have come increasingly to view this story as a 'saga' containing multiple 'books' rather than one long, continuous publication, and as I did so I realized that as I was quickly getting to a point in the story where I wanted the first 'book' to end. This doesn't mean I'm going back on the things I said below - they're just going to continue in the next book of the Saga of Fallen Kings. :) Also, be aware that I do plan to edit this at some point. Though I take care to squash out any obvious errors when I proof-read, and do simple edits in that process, at some point I'm almost certainly going to do large edits that might significantly change parts of the story. Old author's notes: This started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic. If you do enjoy this story please consider following, rating and leaving a review. I'm also happy to answer any questions or comments you have.
