As the dust began to settle, the once grand temple lay in ruins, with rubble and debris scattered across the ground.

Ares was lying on the ground, unconscious and breathing heavily.

The power of the skill Eye of Chaos had taken its toll on him, and he had exhausted all his energy in the battle.

In his mind, he felt as if he were falling into an endless abyss, darkness swallowing him whole.

He was aware of a faint voice calling out to him, but it was distant and muffled, barely audible.

As he drifted deeper into the darkness, he felt a sudden jolt, and the world around him shifted.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a soft, warm bed, covered by a thick blanket. Looking around, he saw that he was in a small room, lit by a dim, flickering light.

Slowly, he sat up, his head and left eye throbbing with pain. He looked around the room, trying to make sense of what had happened.

He remembered the battle with the demon lord Pazuzu and the skill he used, but the rest was a blur.

As he tried to stand up, his legs gave way, and he fell back onto the bed. He felt weak and disoriented, his body still recovering from the effects of the battle.

***

"Arghh! What happened to Demon Lord Pazuzu?" I held my throbbing head and struggled to see clearly through my left eye, which was still blurry from the battle.

Despite my pain, I was grateful to have survived the fight with the demon lord. I had unleashed a power I could barely control, but it had done the job.

As I lay there, my body slowly healing thanks to my regeneration ability, a notification from the system brought me back to reality.

I knew there was much to catch up on, including the skill I had acquired from the mysterious figure.

Ding!--

I called up the system to check the notifications and see what new skill I had gained.

!?

As I glanced at the notification for QUEST 3, which seem to have appeared after my encounter with the demon lord Pazuzu following the breaking of his seal, my eyes widened in surprise.

Option 2, which had asked me to defeat the demon lord, now showed as completed.

"...."

"...Haha, did I really kill a demon lord?" I muttered, a nervous chuckle escaping my lips.

As I knew that it was nearly impossible for anyone to kill a demon lord unless they were the chosen ones.

"The fact that I'm still alive even after killing a demon lord means...am I a chosen one now?" I wondered about the possibility, quickly swiping to my status window to see if that truly is the case.

I checked my status window and noticed several changes in it, but my eyes were immediately drawn to a new title that appeared: [A Chosen One].

I eagerly clicked on it to learn more about the constellation that had selected me as their avatar.

Title: [A Chosen One]

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Description: "A Chosen One" is a title given to an individual who has been selected by a constellation to serve as their avatar.

This chosen individual has unique abilities and is tasked with carrying out important missions and quests in order to fulfill the constellation's objectives.

They may be granted special powers, knowledge, and guidance from the constellation, and are seen as the only ones capable of fulfilling their divine mission.

The role of the chosen one is of great importance, as they hold the fate of the world in their hands.

"...."

"I already know what it means to be a chosen one. I want to know the name of the constellation that has chosen me as their avatar, and how I became their avatar when I never agreed to it.

Don't both parties have to agree for it to be considered valid?" I said, annoyance lacing my tone.

As I didn't get to choose whether or not I wanted to be their avatar, I was left wondering. Usually, the choice is given to the chosen person to accept or reject the offer of becoming an avatar of the said constellation, or they can wait to get the attention of another constellation that they desire.

Because a person can only be an avatar of one constellation throughout their life.

"...Yup, they have to stick with the same constellation until their death.

Well, there is an option to cancel the contract with the constellation, but there are some special events that need to be fulfilled for that," I mused to myself.

"...."

"Huuuu"

With a deep exhale, I calmed my nerves and decided to focus on checking the other changes in my status window.

It was pointless to worry about things I couldn't control now.

"I will eventually find out about their identity sooner or later anyway," I murmured as I continued to examine my status window.

And I noticed that both my strength and mana had increased by one level.

'I remember consuming both Strengthening and Mana fruits, but it's strange how the system managed to make me consume them when I didn't physically eat them,' I pondered, feeling a little confused.

"Nonetheless, my mana only increased by one level even after consuming a mana fruit. That's a bit disappointing," I grumbled to myself as that increase wouldn't make much of a difference in my mana reserves.

Then I reminded myself that I should be grateful that it at least increased by a level.

Putting that thought aside, I shifted my attention to the new section labeled "Stolen Ability," which contained the ability [Wings of Pazuzu].

"...."

"Stolen ability, huh? Well, it was indeed one of Demon Lord Pazuzu's abilities. But referring to it as a stolen ability might imply that I am a thief, which is not accurate, right?

Anyway..." I muttered and shrugged it off, not dwelling too much on the phrasing.

Curious about it, I clicked on the ability to read its description.
