Waking up in a different world

POWER

Pure, unbridled raw power. Power to destroy mountains, power to bend seas, and power to change the course of the world. That's what I witnessed once I reincarnated in this world called Arcanus. All I wanted to do was wield this power, but as fate would have it, I was average at best, someone who possessed no exceptional skill in swordsmanship or magic. My Talent Grade was Yellow, with an affinity to the element of chaos.

Magic was something that didn't exist in my previous world, so I was filled with excitement to experience it in Arcanus. It was an integral part of everyone's life, woven into the very fabric of this world. Unlike my previous world, where strength was found in numbers, Arcanus believed in the power of individuals. Magic was their weapon, their means of survival and prosperity.

I marveled at the way magic infused every aspect of daily life. In the bustling city streets, people cast spells to communicate, to transport goods, and even to create dazzling displays of light. The air was alive with the crackle of energy, the vibrant hues of different elements intertwining in a symphony of power.

Everyone's magic was broadly divided into the five elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lightning. However, there were rare exceptions like Light and Dark, and even rarer exceptions like Space and Time. But from all I had seen and learned in the books, there was never a mention of Chaos as an element. It intrigued me that I possessed an affinity for Chaos Magic, something unseen and uncharted in this world.

In Arcanus, individuals awakened their magical powers at the age of ten, but as someone from a different world, I was able to access my stats as early as four. The System provided me with a glimpse of my status:

AI Chip integrating, the integration time: 2 Years]

I was taken aback by the mention of the AI Chip. It was a technology I had developed in my previous life for storing, managing, and analyzing data. To see it mentioned here, in this magical world, was both puzzling and intriguing.

Realizing that my possession of the AI Chip was a secret that I must guard at all costs, I understood the risks involved. Others would undoubtedly covet my unique advantage and seek to exploit me. I had read enough stories in my previous life to know the consequences of naivety.

With this knowledge, I devised a plan for my first task: to gather knowledge and hone my physical abilities. Fortunately, Arcanus had a law protecting orphans until the age of ten, providing them with basic training in magic and physical development.

Since I was unable to use magic at the moment, I focused my efforts on strengthening my physique. I knew that a strong body would lay the foundation for the power I sought. I immersed myself in rigorous training, pushing myself to the limits, and striving for continuous improvement.

Two years had passed since I discovered the existence of the AI Chip. During that time, I endured countless taunts from my peers, labeled as "The Nerd," "The Bookworm," and even "Mad Dog." I embraced these names, understanding that my dedication to learning and self-improvement set me apart from the rest.

I utilized every minute of my time to absorb knowledge. Day and night, I delved into books, studying relentlessly, hoping to remember every detail

As the integration time of the AI Chip drew to a close, my anticipation soared. Today was the day it would be fully integrated, marking the beginning of my journey to become the strongest. The clock ticked down, and finally, the moment arrived.

A surge of excitement coursed through my veins as the AI Chip synchronized with my being. I felt a newfound connection, a merging of human intellect and artificial intelligence. With the AI Chip as my ally, I knew I had the potential to surpass the limitations of my Talent Grade and unlock the true depths of my power.

Today marked the beginning of my journey towards unrivaled strength and the mastery of Chaos Magic. The path ahead would be treacherous, filled with challenges and adversaries. But armed with my determination, the knowledge from my previous life, and the power of the AI Chip, I would carve my destiny in this wondrous world of magic.

And so, with unwavering resolve, I took my first step, ready to unravel the secrets of Chaos Magic, defy expectations, and transcend the boundaries of my yellow talent grade. The stage was set for an extraordinary tale of power, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of greatness.
