Waking up Will grabbed his throbbing head, he felt like crying out.

It felt like he got kicked in the head by a donkey!

Sitting up, Will brushed the dirt off of his body as he got back on his bed.

He then recalled all the times he fell off of his bed in his life in vivid detail as if it happened this day.

He was then shocked.

Then he started to recall all the times he was shocked in his life.

This continued for a whole hour..

Shaking his head, Will snapped back to reality.

He realized it was the enhancement on his memory that he intended, now to see how effective the learning enhancement is?

Ding!

Will jumped when he heard the system noise, looking around him; he calmed down as he focused on the stream of information in his vision.

-System has unlocked current world's languages, host is now completely fluent in this world's languages.

Reading this line, Will clenched his fists as his body trembled, 'F*cking system!!! I made this potion for that very reason!'

Continuing, the next line made his eyes widen as he nearly went over the moon.

-You have gained one point for making a potion, points can be used in system shop. All potions host makes will earn you one point, nonnegotiable.

-Congratulations host for unlocking system shop!

Shaking, Will focused on the information at the corner of his vision and locked his vision on 'shop' which wasn't there before.

Opening the shop, the information that was displayed was as such:

Healing potion – 2p

Strength potion – 2p

..

Heavenly sword – 100p

Demonic sword – 100p

..

The list was too long to even bother looking at more than the top, what surprised Will was that all the potions no matter how epic, where listed as 2p.

As if prepared for this, there was a notification at the bottom of the shop.

*The price of the items are determined by the system. True earnings are made by directly selling your items in the 'market place' there, you sell your items to any god that is interested. If you just want to get rid of your items and earn an income, no matter how small, the system will handle it.

"The system probably resells these items at a higher price in the 'market place', I wonder how the system connected to the market place where the gods sell their items?"

Thinking a bit, Will was confused, "Could the gods have something like internet? Heavenly net? Seriously? Internet shopping has even attracted the gods?"

Will realized after a while that his computer that was sent to this world with him wasn't there when he woke up.

"Could it be that my computer became the system? That would make sense actually, it can connect to the 'Heavenly net' after all"

Thinking of this, Will decided he should stop thinking out loud unless he wants to be thought crazy.

The system, as if hearing Will's soliloquy spoke up.

-System has changed the 'internet access' to 'Heavenly net', 'Market place' is currently unable to be accessed by host.

-System has decided to mention, there are many functions that system has that host doesn't know, system recommends host to brace himself in the future.

Shivering, Will jumped with excitement, his computer became the system!

With a huge grin on his face, Will laid down comfortably in the bed as he thought about the future surprises the system warned him about.

"F*cking awesome!"

...

In the largest building in the village, Elizabeth was talking to an old man with the look of someone who wouldn't be able to handle a slight breeze.

The atmosphere in the room had a serious feel to it.

"Village head, the boy I brought in is a 'rejected', we can't keep him in the village"

Said Elizabeth as she shook her head, a look of disappointment in her eyes.

"We know that the 'rejected' are just unfortunate individuals snatched from their worlds, they are not necessarily evil, it is us that make them evil"

To those that inhabit this world, the 'rejected' are evil because they defy the heavens, but the 'rejected' consider the people of this world as evil, because they hunt them down for just existing.

It makes sense after all, an entity from another world that defies the laws of your world will obviously be called a demon.

Elizabeth nodded her head when she heard this, her wrinkled face showing worry.

Looking at Elizabeth the village head sighed, "The boy collapsed in the stream? I take it he just arrived in this world not too long ago"

Looking out the window, the village head smiled as he watched the village children run and play.

"I wonder what ability he has? All 'rejected' have an ability that can't be controlled or restrained by the heavens, I hope it is something that can help him survive in this chaotic world"

Elizabeth shook her head as she worried about the boy.

She decided to get her husband to take the boy out of the village when he returns from the city.

As they are both at an old age, they can't bear to see a youth with limitless potential die early, so they will help him as much as possible.

She wouldn't ask the village head for help, because the village head is already helping enough just by allowing the boy to stay in the village, asking anymore would be too much.

She couldn't help but think back to the old days, when her and her husband were just children.

They destroyed the previous empire at that time, wiped out the whole royal family.

They killed the ancestor of the empire, the one who founded the empire millions of years ago.

It wasn't an easy fight, they got out severely injured losing half of their power, they decided to retire early at that time.

Retire from the fighting, from the killing.

So they left to settle in a village in the middle of nowhere, had children, had grandchildren, lived a happy life.

But now, they will have to prepare for the end.

In this world, when a couple truly loves each other their souls will automatically connect.

If one betrays this love, they will die.

Once a couple reaches old age, they will die together at the time of death of the one with the longer lifespan.

For example, if the man has a lifespan of 190years and the woman 100years, the couple will pass away from old age when the man reaches 190years.

This brings us back to Elizabeth.

When they fought the ancestor, they both sustained serious injuries, hers reduced her lifespan.

She should have died decades ago.

Her husband's lifespan ends this year, so they both have this year left to live.

They do not fear the consequences of helping a 'rejected'.
