Name: Isaac Lionheart Rank: Count Age: 15 Race: Human
STR VIT INT WIS
70 87 325 50

 

His physical stats are almost the same as the Palace Knight-Captain! And he is only fifteen years old!

|System! I want to scan his stats fully |

|Are you sure? It needs 7 days before you could use Full Scan|

|Yes|

|Very well. It needs a minute to complete.|

I mentally nod at my system, respond, and look at the man in front of me. Isaac Lionheart, the Silver Lion. Her silver hair grows to his shoulder, sharp eyes, and blue eyes that shine with power.

"So, what can I do for you, little princess?"

I blush a little when he says that.

"Don't call me that!"

"Oh?"

"Call me, Eli!"

"... You know that I cannot do that, right? You are a princess after all."

I pout at him for a few seconds before he sighs and raises his hand, admitting a defeat.

"Fine. What can I do for you, Eli?"

"Hehehe. Can you tell me what the north likes?"

"Hmmm. What do you want to know?"

"Is it true that the north will always be snowing?"

"Yup. Especially in the further north."

"Heeee~ It must be really cold up there."

"Yeah, but we adapt. While it is cold, we still call it home."

"I see... "

|DING. The scan is completed. Now you can read the rest of Isaac Lionheart's stats. These stats will automatically update when you use a full scan once again in the future.|

Without hesitation, I mentally command my power to open up the stats.

|Isaac Lionheart|

|Count Rank|

|Title: Death Beloved, Child of the Sea, Master of Void, Star of Swift Courage|

What the hell are those titles!!! Death Beloved?!? Child of the Sea?!? Master of Void?!? Star of Swift Courage?!? What the hell are those?

|Do you want to read the description of all those titles?|

|YES!|

After I say that, a blue screen appears in front of me.

|Death Beloved|

|This title is given to the holder of ▅▅▅▅.|

|Effect|

{Increase the holder closeness to Death}

{Increase the holder affinity to Darkness by 700%}

{Increase the holder affinity to Death by 10000%}

{Increase any damage dealt to the unliving being by 500%}

{Steadily increase the holder Mana Capacity}

That is insane! Also, what the hell is the unliving?!? I thought the death element is something a necromancer uses!!!

|Necromancers don't have the affinity to death. They have an affinity to the unliving. Death hates people that cheat her.|

Wait, her?

|Death doesn't have gender, but because people keep calling it Lady Death, it changes its appearance to a woman.|

I see. Does that mean that Isaac is not a necromancer?

|No. He is the exact opposite of Necromancer. He is the one that let undead have their rest after being enslaved by Necromancer.|

I see.

I'm glad that he is not a Necromancer. Necromancer is something taboo in this world. Even the people in the Tower of Magic are disgusted by the people that practice Necromancy.

|Child of the Sea|

|Star of Swift Courage|

|One of 108 Star of Destiny. Given to the lord that governs the land and defends it valiantly. One of the stars of heaven.|

|Effect|

{Increase the holder's stats as long as he fights alongside the child of destiny.}

{One of the strengths the child of destiny relies on.}

{The holder is needed to let the child of destiny fulfill his destiny.}

{The child of destiny is named ▅▅▅▅ ▅▅▅▅ the holder of ▅▅▅▅ ▅▅▅▅ ▅▅▅▅}

What about all this black bar?!?

|That black bar meant that it was something that you cannot learn without prior knowledge.|

Dammit. Can't you do something about it?

|I don't have enough power to do it.|

Dangit. Just looking at his title, I know that he is a strong individual, just like in the game. He is the one that halted the invasion of the Holy Light Empire to the northern region of the continent.

Holy Light Empire is the empire where the Main Character was born and the main place where the player started. This empire is the center of the religion that worships Kyna, the Goddess of Light.

While the church has massive power in that country, the emperor has the authority above the church. The Prince, Princess, and Duke have the same power as the church as a whole. The duke has a slight advantage over the other.

Anyway, when the game already finished the Academic arc, the Holy Light Empire declared a crusade to conquer the continent in the name of Kyna.

The Holy Light Empire almost conquered all the continent if not for Isaac Lionheart, the Silver Lion, and the Guardian of the Bloody Gate.

The Bloody Gate is a gap between the formation of mountains. This is the only place where southern people could go to the Northern region. You can go and decide to choose the mountain route and get attacked by a monster and a tribe of barbarians who stay in the mountain.

This is the place where Isaac holds all the incoming army the empire sent. Isaac fights the empire for a week without stopping. This event is known as 'The massacre in the Bloody Gate' where more than twenty thousand men from the empire died from fighting against the northern people.

Even with the help of magicians hired from the Tower of Magicians, they cannot breach the Bloody Gate. From there on, the empire decided not to move north and focus their fight in the south.

The fight in the south was completed after two years of constant fighting, and when the empire wanted to try their luck moving north, a disaster came in. This disaster is the event that starts a new arc.

Anyway, I don't care about that arc right now because if the game can be trusted, then I will be dead when the empire invades the Vulux kingdom. I need to make Isaac defend the Vulux kingdom somehow!

But first thing, first! Back to reading!

|Skills|

|Spear Mastery, Wand Magic, Runic Magic, Green Magic, Blue Magic, Leadership, Summoning|

That is a lot of magic. In the game, a magician can only learn two types of magic, and the only one who could reach this level is a high-level magician. Not only does Isaac have four types of magic, but he also has the more rare type of magic.

I don't know how powerful it is in this world, but those magic Isaac have something the player of White Angel hunts for their magical ability.

A magician can only be hired for a certain amount of time in the White Angel. They are the mercenaries hired by a kingdom or some lord. Magicians can be hired by the player in the Tower of Magic.

You can only hire three magicians initially, but the bigger your influence in the game, the more you can hire the magician.

Magicians also can grow the more you let them stay in your army, but they also demand more money the higher their stats.

Many players search for a certain type of magician, usually either Runic Magician or a Summoner. Runic Magician is someone that can create a strong barrier that can block any attack and create a barrier that can detect any spy or assassin.

Summoner is like its name suggests. It allows the magician to summon a creature to do their bidding. They are a one-man army that can destroy an army.

Anyway….

|Spear Mastery (C+)|

|The skill indicates how you handle a spear|

|Effect|

{200% damage to all spear attack}

What is C+ mean?

|It shows how much this man mastered the spear arts. E rank means the individual just learned how to handle a spear. D-rank means this individual can be considered a soldier that has a solid foundation in spear art. C rank means that this individual can handle the spear pretty well and can be considered a low-level master. B rank means the individual can be considered a top-tier spear master. A rank can be considered one of the strongest in the continent. S rank means that the individual is one of the strongest spear masters in the world|

Does that mean Isaac is an exceptional spear master?

|Yes, but there are still many people that can beat him in pure spear arts|

I see.

|Wand Magic (B)|

|Magic that can be used by using a wand|

|Effect|

{Need a wand to cast a spell}

{When holding a wand, the spell cost is cut in half or more}

{Increase the user control over magic when he/she hold a wand}

|Runic Magic (D)|

|Magic that needs someone to write a rune on the surface of an object|

|Effect|

{Can create a permanent magic effect}

|Green Magic (B+)|

|Magic that let the user control over a plant|

|Effect|

{Let the user control a plant}

{Can increase the growth of any plant}

{Can change the density of any plant}

|Blue Magic (C+)|

|Magic of Sound|

|Effect|

{The user voice can be used as a weapon}

|Leadership (D)|

|A skill that boosts the user leadership|

|Effect|

{Boost the user charisma}

{Every soldier under this user banner will receive morale boost and physical stats boost}

|Summoning (A)|

|Magic that let the user summon a creature or being into the world|

|Effect|

{Let the user summon a creature to become their familiar}

That is some powerful skill. While I don't know what kind of Wand Magic is, he can be considered a low-level master by looking at his mastery.

And look at his summoning skill! Does that mean that Isaac is the number one Summoner on the continent?!? I guess I can see why he can hold the empire movement with only the north's people.

When I am about to look at Isaac's other information, I hear someone say something loudly near me.

"Princess! I think you shouldn't sit down near all the barbarian. They are all a barbarian after all!"

When the idiotic man finished his speech, I can feel the air become cold as winter hit earlier than we thought. The idiot man did not feel the atmosphere change and continued saying something bad to the northern noble.

After half a minute of enduring all the insult, Isaac stood up and looked at me.

"Princess…. I'm glad you enjoy our company here, but it looks like the other did not welcome us. I'm sorry to leave early."

Isaac looks at the man that insults him and his fellow noble before saying.

"Be careful, my lord."

"Oh? Be careful of what? Do you threaten me? I'm the son of a marquess. You are only a count and a northern count at that. You are beneath me."

"... Winter is coming, my lord. I hope you are prepared for it."

"Tch. So what? God blesses our land! A mere winter is nothing."

Isaac ignores him and begins to walk away from the idiot noble before bowing a little to the king, my father, and then walk toward the door. The other noble follow Isaac's example and walk away from the room following Isaac.

I watch Isaac and his fellow noble walk away from the room and hear him singing something.

"Walls will not hold the winter~."

"Over and under crawl~."

"Walls will not hold the winter~."

"All in the way will fall~."

The more he sings the song, the colder the air inside the room. When Isaac and his fellow noblemen are gone, I realize that I'm the culprit that triggered this disaster!

Dammit!
