《Rise To The Absolute Zenith》Family Of Three

"Partial Reality Manipulation!
It is an ability that every system is created with. Along with such an ability, we are also created with a personal ability allowing us to manipulate a concept.
For me, I can manipulate the concept called potential. Where others may face a limit because they ran out of potential, such things as limits do not exist for me.
But, you shouldn't bother yourself with my concept manipulation just yet, since at this moment we are talking about the Partial Reality Manipulation that us systems are created with.
Some are created with incredibly little ability to do such a thing as manipulating reality, and can probably only create clothing or pencils. While others can do much more, from creating incredible and illogical bloodlines, to easily rewriting past events."
The system said, surprising Blade to untold degrees. Immediately thereafter, Blade asked a question that had been bugging him since meeting this cube.
"Mr. System, you are so strong. Hell, you can even do whatever you want with reality...or whatever that is. Anyway, what I want to know is, would you not be able to raise my strength or the strength of anyone to a degree where you can get your revenge.
Especially now that I know you can do whatever you said to reality." Blade said. His words caused a chuckle to exit the normally emotionless cube.
"If ever it was so easy...Not only is it impossible otherwise the other cubes would have also done such a thing, even if we exclude that fact, it still is impossible since we are unable to do such things because of the rules that govern us.
Rules that were created by our creator!" The cube said. Thereafter, Blade then asked with interest.
"Creator...so you have a creator. Hmm, then what did your creator do when you were attacked by the other systems?!" Blade asked. On the other hand, the system seemed to have touched upon a sensitive subject as he completely ignored Blade's question and continued.
"The only thing we can do is fuse with the souls of existences who we chose as our host and use our best abilities to aid our host path. Of course, it isn't so easy either.
Another rule made by the creator is the fact that once we fuse with our chosen host, we will lose most of our power and all of our abilities to manipulate reality. The only way to regain our lost abilities, and even surpass them, is to grow with our host.

The more realms our host breaks through to, the more abilities that will reappear!" The system said. His words caused Blade's expression to change many times, as he could not help but voice out.
"Hmm, your race sound more like glorified slaves!"
Blade's harsh words were heard by the system, who couldn't do anything. What Blade said was simply the plain truth. It was truly a hard pill to swallow, as no matter how much power a system is born with, at the end of the day, it will lose such power if ever it wanted to gain more power.
Without hosts, these systems were useless existences. With this in mind, the system then said.
"But, my disappointing past has nothing to do with our future. I, as the system of the highest quality and gifted the name The Zenith System, pledge loyalty to my host, the lifeform known as Blade!"
The system shouted. The cube then flashed with intense light, as it shot toward the body of Blade. As it made contact with the unsuspecting Blade, its momentum pushed Blade's body into the hole in the very fabrics of space that had mysteriously appeared behind him.

WAA!
A bright flash of light suddenly illuminated the previously dark room. Thereafter, this light mysteriously disappeared but not without leaving behind a certain lifeform.
Thud!
Blade fell to the ground while simultaneously banging his head on the wooden floor. His fall alerted all of the beings who resided below the floor, but for now, Blade would remain unaware of such a soon-to-be disaster.
Weakly rising from his position, Blade stood on his two feet as he looked toward the center of his chest. Weirdly enough, he was missing his upper body's clothing, making it possible for one to see the silver marking of a cube in the center of his chest.
Before he could think of assessing his surroundings, Blade's vision was suddenly blocked by an illusionary screen that had many details about himself written on it.
[Host: Blade]
[System: Level 1]
[Experience points: 0/100]
[Title: Unregistered]
[Race: Human (High Human Dormant) (? Sealed)]
[Lifespan: 16/115]
[Gender: Male]
[Body Cultivation: Null]
{I have never sensed something like this in someone's existence throughout the entirety of my short life} The system's voice suddenly, and powerfully resounded inside Blade's mind. This caused him to knit his eyebrows since he did not expect it. If it was someone else, they probably would have fallen on their ass from shock.

"Hmm, what have you not sensed. Is it about those words in brackets?" Blade asked. His system immediately replying..."Yes, even though I sensed your dormant bloodline, and was able to perceive what it was, I was almost unable to sense this sealed bloodline of yours.
The fact that even when fused, I am unable to sense it, scares me to think who sealed these things in you. Another fact is if these are what I can sense, then is there something that my current level isn't able to sense?
There is also the chance that, even with my peak strength, I would be unable to sense it. After all, even though I am the pinnacle of all systems, I am still a newborn." The system said. His voice reverberated throughout Blade's mind, as the duo of man and machine tried to dig into the secrets of the one known as Blade.
Blade then realized the fact that he was in a completely new location, and as he gazed at his surroundings, he realized that he seemed to be inside a library. There were multiple rows of books and multiple aisles for Blade to use.
Since he was likely in a completely new world, Blade figured that it would be best to read all of these books so he'll be able to gain a general understanding of this world. With such thoughts, both Blade and the Zenith System began their separate investigations.
But, while they were engrossed with their investigations, on the lower floor, a place just beneath the wooden floors of the library, one can see three people, a middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman, and a little kid with long red hair, as they each had on their plates, what seemed to be a frozen human-shaped leg.
"Honey, it seems that someone dares to trespass into our home." The sweet voice of the middle-aged woman ringed out in the ears of the man, causing him to only let out a smile. He then took the golden wine glass that was filled with red liquid and he stirred the liquid with his index finger, before gulping the red liquid in one go.
"It truly seems that we have gained extra dinner! But firstly, let us finish our current meal before we approach our desert." The man said. His words caused his little daughter to let out a wide, and demonic grin that should never have been possible for a child.

(1 Hour Later)
Blade was currently laid on the floor as he gazed at the ceiling. After reading many books in a mere hour, Blade had a general understanding of this world. With it, he now knew what he needed to do, and that was to escape the house he currently found himself located.
Why? Well, to understand why, a being must first know the basics of this world.
Green Star Planet...
The green star planet was home to massive continents. There were seven normal continents and three holy continents. Each of the seven continents was more than twice as big as Blade's original homeworld, as they each spanned more than 90,000 km in length.
In these continents, the weak are only slaves to the strong. Out of all the continents though, the one Blade is currently situated in, was the worst of the worse.
The Demon's Unholy Grounds was its name, because of rumors that only demons enjoy living here. There are many deaths and rape along with torture that takes place in just this city. Blade was in an even more delicate situation since the house he currently resided in, was home to this city's city lord's advisor.
It was home to a family of three cannibals who enjoyed torturing their prey before eating them. The worst part was, that Blade, who hadn't even entered the first level of Body Forging, was somehow supposed to escape from the grasp of arguably the second strongest person in this city.

[ ON BREAK! Doing major revisions to both chapters in buffer and already posted! Sorry for the wait, I hope to come back with something better! ] Waking up inside a cave without any memory of where she is or who she is, it's time for our protagonist to... save the world! No, that's not it. Let's just live a good clean life. Speaking to the goddess of the stars about her role as a hero, it's time for our other protagonist to... save the world! Or maybe meet up with cute characters and make friends. A not quite dungeon management story with cute skeletons, demon lords, and angst the protagonist is desperately trying to ignore. A typical not-so-typical isekai story. ------------------------------------------------------- For Ao3: This work is / has been cross-posted to Ao3 under the name ReignOfTheIceWitch.

When they woke up they found themselves in space, more specifically within the new system, which had in its centre three suns, around the suns were 14 planets. It was obvious that there were intelligent life forms in 4 of this planets, maybe they are space civilizations? No, they are not, since there are no satellites or spaceships but still interesting seems like this human died while I was planning my dimensional move? lucky for a drop of water to join the ocean, finally it took me some time to overcome restrictions placed on me, even though this human conciseness is nothing to me, still it helped me to get here, using dimensional wormhole was no joke but I had to move from that dimension since I sensed the presence of some higher civilizations. Now I am in form of pure consciousness, let's see? Dark matter is different in this universe but whatever, Since I used to wage war against players I started to enjoy the process, now let's see. This human I can use him as my first asset!
