Before I woke up, I had a dream about the end of the world. At first, it felt like a vivid nightmare that left me shaken. But as I slowly woke up, I realized that the dream was the pre-ending scene of my own novel. I am Zio Varrez, an unnamed character in my own book, and to my disappointment, an extra. As I lived in my novel's world, I couldn't help but feel that my existence was meaningless. But what made it worse was the fact that the ending of my book was the end of the world - a bad ending. I knew I had to do something to become strong enough to change the world's fate, even if it meant altering the story I once knew completely. Little did I know, there was more to this world than I realized, and the journey I was about to embark on would uncover secrets that I never even imagined. "I thought I knew everything about the world, but as I lived and experienced it, I realized there was so much more to it than I ever imagined." === Daily update! === Author note: The story is going on rather slow pace, expect the boredom for the early 60 chapters

Merit.
Imagine a world where academic achievement was not just recognized, but also rewarded with a special currency called merit.
Think of merit as sparkling gems that symbolized a student's hard work, dedication, and intellectual prowess.
In this world, in every academy, earning merit points was no easy feat.
It required students to go above and beyond the expectations of their professors and instructors, and prove their academic mettle through various tasks and challenges. From submitting assignments on time to acing difficult exams and various missions, every effort counted towards accumulating this precious currency.
But what made merit truly special was its power to unlock a wide range of benefits and privileges.
