'How do I get out of this situation?' The thought lingered in Aelions mind like a curse.
This was the legacy his father had built with his own hard work and left it for his kids.
Now.. He was going to personally lead it to its collapse in the year-end meeting.
Tears made their way into his eyes. No matter how much maturity, anger or composure he had shown, He was still a child, and he had feelings too.
A quiet sigh escaped his mouth.
He raised his hand covered his eyes, closing them as he contemplated, Just then, A voice Drifted into his ears.
[Do you want to an opportunity to change your own fate?]
[Yes/No]
Aelion sat straight up, Looking around the room to locate the source of the voice, Seeing nothing, He slumped back into the bed, Thinking that all the contemplation had led him crazy.
As soon as he closed his eyes, He saw the string of letters, the same words that he had heard.
[Do you want to have an opportunity to change your own fate?]
[Yes/No]
Seeing them, He finally believed he was not crazy, But.. What exactly was this?
'What does it mean an opportunity to change my fate?' Aelion thought, Unable to understand how it would change his fate.
But, To his surprise the system actually responded,
[Earth would begin the process of merging with its parallel in 6 months, transporting its residents there, Your opportunity is to enter the other world now]
Seeing that such an event is going to happen, Aelions mind reeled in the shock, Such an event was going to occur and yet no one on earth was aware that it going to happen..
Or are they really unaware?
Aelions eyes flashed a reflecting light, His eyes shining like a glowing mirror.
He finally understood why he was failing repeatedly in recovering the business.
The top brass.. They no longer really cared about who owned the buisiness in this world any longer.
That was also why his goading tactics were being ineffective, because no one really cared about who owned the business, But they can't take a step back, After all, it would become a stain on their reputation.
A small smile appeared on Aelions face, It looked carefree, As if there was no burden on him anymore, But it hid a terrifying fury underneath.
'Some people of our own family knew about this, That was why things ended so calmly today, They were treating me like a toy they could play with'
Aelion looked calmly at the choice before him, he took a paper out, and started writing instructions to his sister on what to do next, and how to be safe for the next 6 months and how to be ready for the apocalyptic event that was going to occur.
After completing the letter, He folded it and entered his sisters room and placed the letter on the night stand and kept his own phone on it.
He kissed his sister on the forehead and took a deep breath before leaving the room.
He came to balcony connected to his room, Wearing A flexible but durable night dress.
His gaze landed on the choice,
[Do you want to an opportunity to change your own fate?]
[Yes/No]
He clicked on the 'yes' without any hesitation, A huge golden circle appeared in the sky, In the centre was what looked like a eyes.
The eye slowly opened, Its gaze fell on Aelion.
Aelion could roughly gauge out the emotion in the gaze, Amusement and indifference.
Aelion locked eyes with the eye, A golden beam fell straight on him for a second before disappearing, Taking Aelion along with it.
As soon as the light dissappeared several cars pulled over.
From the car stepped out several people with brown hair, their eyes glowing a brownish glow.
The expression of the man who was standing in the front, presumably their leader, changed rapidly, settling in a frown.
He took out a special phone and dailed, and said, "A transportation phenomenon occured"
A gruff voice sounded from the phone, "Where?"
The man hesitated for some time before replying, "The velthane manor, the one where the 2 heirs are currently living"
The gruff voice sounded again, but hardened this time, "Keep an eye, find out who was transported, and intensify our efforts with modred"
"How come that there were 2 champions? And why was the second one being sent now?"
____
Aelion felt dizzy, He could'nt even make out his own surroundings.
At his back, There was a open passage, He could see earth clearly, It was the way he came from.
Then, He looked before him, the path was blocked by a transparent wall that was covered in chains.
As he is wondering about what it is, the notification resounded.
[Presence of mana detected]
[Connecting to Main system…]
[Checking situation…]
[The destination
[Estimated time until unsealing: 6 months]
