Humanity was completely wiped out.
I'm still alive. Still fighting.
Slaying monsters… even dragons. Even the Dragon King.
But there's still one thing humans can't overcome—emotions.
10 years…
50 years…
100 years…
In the blink of an eye, 200 years passed.
Many came and went.
All of them… gone.
My loved ones. My family.
I'm the strongest now.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
I've made my decision.
It's time to free myself from this endless pain.
I stabbed myself, reversed the flow of aura—
and died on the spot.
---
Some time later…
I opened my eyes.
Why… am I still alive?
Then I saw my hands—small and delicate.
I was wrapped in cloth.
Abandoned in a back alley by some woman… probably my mother.
Tsk. It's the same as my old world.
*SYSTEM LOADING 70%*
*SYSTEM LOADING 80%*
*SYSTEM LOADING 99%*
*SYSTEM LOADED*
As time passed, I realized...
This world is just like the novels from my previous life.
> "System, will you give me power? Make me invincible?"
"Partially no… and yes at the same time."
"Then what will you do?"
"Host will find out as time passes."
---
Ugh… I'm hungry.
I'm hu…ngr…y...
I fainted. Damn it.
---
"Brother, he's awake! Look!"
"Hello, little one."
"What should we name him?"
"Umm… Chimera."
"Nia, you better not suggest names."
"Let's ask the little one."
"How? He's still a toddler. He can't talk."
"We'll say names. If he reacts to one—that'll be his name."
"Chimera."
> "Seriously? Your naming sense is beyond horrible. In my past life, I've never heard something so bad."
No reaction.
"Oxa?"
> "What the actual... I'd rather be nameless than be called that."
Still no response.
"What about… Issac?"
"Habubuhabu—finally!"
"Haha! Issac it is. From now on, your name is Issac."
---
Now I'm five years old.
The people who named me were taken in by a noble family to work as servants.
I stayed behind… still in the orphanage.
At last, I can access the system's features.
Physique Selection.
It's a spin-type feature.
But I can only choose once—no second spin.
*Spin*
Mortal Physique – basically what I already have.
*Spin*
Trash Physique – if this shows up, blame your luck and cry later.
*Spin*
*Spin*
TWO HOURS LATER...
Finally… something worthwhile.
Physique of Duality — Grants the ability to use both Magic and Aura.
*Selected*

Soon after, a noble ordered the orphanage to be shut down.
Even though no one wanted to follow the command,
they had no choice.
It was a noble's order—refuse, and face the consequences.
So I began working at an inn.
---
"You there, woman! Someone like you needs to learn her place! Bring her to the room!" (a drunken noble)
"Hey kid… how dare you stand in my way?"
"Hmph… no one will care if a brat vanishes."
He pulled out his sword and swung it at me.
I blocked with my dagger,
but the gap between our strength was overwhelming.
Just one strike made my arms shake.
"Oh? Not bad, kid.
Fighting prey is always more fun."
He lunged.
I dodged left, charged in—
and drove my dagger into his stomach.
Huff… huff… huff…
"You… cursed brat… I'll kill you…"
---
Later that night, I collected my payment and left through the back alley.
I made my way toward the forest To Train, Its The Beggining Of My New Life.
