Chapter 1 - System

Parallel dimension, population increase.

Fortunately, interstellar navigation technology has largely stayed in good condition.

Once people become adults, they can purchase their own interstellar spacecraft and begin space exploration under their own banner!

For the young generation of today, nothing is more appealing than being drowned in the ocean of stars.

At present, a crowd of youngsters is gathered on the ship platform in Moon Star Harbor full of excitement!

"No matter what happens, wait for me for a few years; I need to set up a planet lord to return!

"The Space might devour you! Seriously did you really just return the planet lord?"

"My ambition is not big; I can join a small fleet and come back." Being recognized by a particular Star Sea Alliance would be helpful.

"I have been preparing for this Space adventure for a decade, and I will definitely be impressive!"

Rodgraim mounted the platform and looked at the bloody crowd surrounding him.

Even he, his heart feels warm now.

It's been some years since entering this world. In this cosmos, human beings' journey to the sea of stars has only begun.

It is unclear what will happen to you after you leave the solar system.

Well, with a paradise planet that has no master, a man can become a good planetary lord in a very short time, being someone below one and above many.

Then, there are those who have only just left the solar system. These people have become captured by interstellar pirates. Captured, they will serve as slaves for the rest of their lives in the interstellar mines!

The cosmos Teems with boundless possibilities and endless dangers!

A yell hailed from this end of Star Harbor then.

Rodgraim followed the ruckus and looked over. There, to his astonishment, is a woman in a tight space suit approaching him.

Under the tight space suit, her lovely contours are visible.

But this lady's presence made everyone gaze from a distance, but no one dared to approach the place.

"Oh man, what a beautiful girl look at her body."

"Shhh! Do you want to die? That is the daughter of Lord Kirches, named Luna Kirches."

She is the god of our Hullen University campus. They said that her father arranged a B-class starship for her in this interstellar journey.

"B-class spacecraft?"" Does it begin at such a high point? I have worked so hard saving my money for over ten years, and I can only afford one E-class starship!

In Earth's marketplace, starships are graded from F-class to SSS-class according to their power.

Even the cheapest F-class starships would call for millions of stars to pay the start-up costs.

For the starships above the B-class, it is a concept that they can't even imagine into their existence.

"Some people are born at the end, and we who judge believe that getting a B-class starship is difficult when mingling for decades."

I would be happy to join Luna's crew. A B-class starship in the ocean of stars is much safer than those small crippled F-class vessels.

"Indeed, so, how much do you think you are?" The minimum qualification for staffing for the crew on Luna's ships is to have a B-level skills certificate or better.

"If I had a skills certificate graded B, I'd have done that by now."

Ability credentials are all the technologies required in interstellar travel, including piloting interstellar vessels, engineering for ship repairs, and expertise in space nutrition.

Earning a college degree is nearly enough to obtain a competency certificate rated as C.

Those said to possess Class B ability certificates only exist in those guilds.

Everybody sighed as well, and it seemed that the goddess' vessel was not prepared to set sail.

But then they observed that Luna walked directly to a male.

"Rodgraim, would you like to come on my ship? "Will you join my crew?"

What is the situation now?

He is, by any light you look, a fresh graduate.

What's the potential he could be who would have the captain of a B-class starship ask him to get on the ship?

People around are a bit shocked too. Is there something special about this young fellow?

Now, at this moment, a man with yellow hair entered in disbelief.

"Luna, I'm a B-class starship pilot, and you don't even care for me. "

"Now that you invite the hairy boy, don't you look down on me? "

"Why does this child stay on your boat? " "Is he handsome??"?

Some people nearby seemed a bit skeptical.

All of them were crew members who had asked Luna to bring them on board earlier. Now that she had declined their offer, they were also contemplating on the next captain here.

Just then Luna looked at him with a totally unconcerned face. "So, you are the pilot of an A-class starship, aren't you?"

What? This young man—is he a Class A starship pilot?

Rodgraim cleared his throat and cast a sideways glance at the yellow-haired man beside him. "Well, I confess, I am quite handsome, but Captain Luna should pay more attention to my abilities.

He is a graduation top of the class from Hullen University, with an impressive set of certificates: A-class Starship Pilot, A-class Starship Maintenance Engineer, and A-class Starship Combat.

"No way—in his teens!" someone nearby gasped. The crowd around him collectively took a sharp breath. It takes five years to earn just one of these A-level certifications. And this kid has accumulated them all during college? Is he human?

Luna Kirches didn't remain oblivious to the prowess, either. A crew member with multiple A-level certifications didn't cross paths very often. She had even heard that the powerful Three Sun Alliance invited him to join, though she didn't believe it to be true. The Three Sun Alliance is, after all, one of those influential coalitions led by the lords of several powerful planets. If they invited her, she would surely accept with outstretched arms!

She turned to Rodgraim once again. "Rodgraim, do you want to join my crew?"

Everyone around assumed that he would accept. For all intents and purposes, the Kirches family was known; even their starting ships were B-class. What was there to refuse?

Just at that moment, Rodgraim heard a voice familiar to his system.

[Check-in location detected: Moon Star Harbor!]

[Will you like to check in?

What? Unexpectedly, his system has turned on again. This god-level check-in system was exactly how he had accumulated that so many A-level certifications. Each time he checked in at a new place, he obtained a random reward.

Rodgraim didn't have any hesitation and checked in.

[Check-in successful. Congratulations! You've acquired the S-class ship, Aether Dominion!]

Finally! After so many check-ins, he now has a ship worthy of interstellar travel.
