First Class

Zion woke up in a dimly lit room.

"Don't move yet. Your body is strained."

Zion then looked at his hands.

"Don't worry, your body will change. It houses a stronger soul now, so your body will adapt." Neo continued as he poured some wine on his cup.

Aultocrey then poured wine to his cup.

"Your family's wine is good as always." Neo didn't mind it and looked at Zion.

He smiled as he remembered a past.

'This kid...'

------------------------------------

"From today onwards, your dorm will be on the underground."

"Room UG-1 is an alchemy room. You can transmute, transform and even make new metals for smithing."

"Room UG-2 is a smithing room. This is where you can smith those metals to become a weapons or armors."

"Room UG-3 is a carving room. The room is for engraving runes to equipments."

"Room UG-4 is an enchantment room. It can be used for scrolls and grimoires."

"Room UG-5 is apothecary room. This is where you can make pills and potions."

"Room UG-6 is a plantation. There are many kinds of herbs, vines and other plants there. There are also trees and it is connected to the Star Forest."

"Room UG-7 is tech room. It can be used to make machineries and other mechanical things."

"Room UG-8 is taming room. Place a beast there and tame it. It is a bit spacious."

"Room UG-9 is an array room. You can use it to make magic circles."

"Room UG-10 will be your new room."

"At the end of the hallway is the Testing Room. It is pretty massive so you can test anything there."

"And the study room will be the room beside the stairs. I will meet you here one hour everyday." Neo said as he looked at Zion who is now recovered.

Today is his first day of school. It was already a week when he encountered the souls, and most importantly, Gateway and Admin were now free from shackles.

"For our first lesson, we will tackle magic."

Zion then focused on Neo.

"Magic is the condensation of one's thought. It is the ability to turn the impossible to possible."

"There are laws governing the world, and magic is the one that lets those laws be implemented."

"For example, the law of light. Light is existent, but it may be gone in another minute."

"Magic then lets light to exist in that place where it is not there."

"It is impossible for light to exist out of nowhere, so it uses energy to let itself exist."

"And that energy, is mana."

"When you make a sword from nothing, it uses aether, the foundation of alchemy."

"And when you make a plant or an animal, you use hex, the foundation of taming."

"You use each energy to let a law manifest. That is why the circles are called manifestations."

"The manifestations are from killing monsters, and creatures created by the Four Fraudulent: The Doom Abyss, The Silent Purgatory, The Chaotic Hell and The Proud Dragon; and from the Four Genuine: The Peaceful Heaven, Order Pavillion, Hope Pillar and Light Tower."

"They sent it to the universe to get and recruit people to fight for their cause."

"After they recruited, they gain authority. And that's why they can implement the laws."

"The power is out there, if you do not have the authority, you can't use it."

"The first planet was razed by the monsters, and humans were sent out to find refuge."

"Due to their technology, they managed to terraform the planets, and make it habitable. Then, they discovered magic."

"Due to perspectives, ideals, and individuality, many forms of power were achieved."

"Engravings are like manifestations to us humans. It makes a weapon or an equipment have magic of its own."

"Enchantment is like adding passives to an equipment. Intelligent boosts, regeneration, power boosts and speed boosts are examples."

"Arrays are like enchantments, but used outside. For example, a Fire Array can boost an equipment to deal fire damage even if it has Water Engravings and Water Boost Enchantment."

"Due to the saturation of energies, ores and plants started to mutate too. That's why until now, many ores and plants are not yet discovered. Even magic, and history, it is still not clear. Especially the Void Millennia."

"There is an infinite number of mysteries in this universe. The God Arms, the Arcane, the Monarch, the Sovereigns, the Sages, the Tribes, and many more."

"Have your time and ponder over things. If you have questions, you can ask me." Neo said, signalling the end of conversations.

"Yes, Sir." Zion said.

But he won't ask Neo questions.

["Master, are you awake now?"]

"Not yet, Gateway."

["Why?"]

"Those memories are sealed, so I guess I myself had to deliberately seal it. Don't worry, if I myself wants to remember it, then I will unseal it myself."

{"That's good, Master."}

"Thanks, Admin."

The two parts of the system now has consciousness, and can also understand emotions and such.

"By the way, how much Gacha points do I have?" He asked.

["Why do I feel like you matured fast?"]

{"450 Points."}

"Thanks, Gateway, but I think this is my true nature. Admin, draw one in each draw. Let me get ready for things."

{As you wish.}

All in all, there are only one summon that is uncommon, two uncommon blueprints, one rare and one uncommon recipe, one rare talent, one uncommon skill and one rare magic circle.

The two uncommon blueprints are Swift Boots and the other one is Loyalty Gauntlet.

Swift Boots makes movement speed faster, and Loyalty Gauntlet makes any weapon that is thrown out come back to the owner.

One of the rare recipes is known as the Mana Potion, which restores mana and the uncommon one is the Stamina Pill, which restores stamina by 5%.

One of the rare talent is called Battle Chaser. This Talent can produce an orb that chases the enemy by having a combo of three. Two chasers are formed if the combo is five, and three chasers if the combo is seven. Basically, the formula is x=2x+1.

The uncommon skill us called Switch. It can switch the user's and anything in his vicinity's place.

The last one is the a rare magic circle: Suspend Circle. It can suspend anything mid air, as long as the magic circle is enchanted to the thing.

"Dismantle all uncommon and below that is not on the list above." Zion said as he looked at the other draws.

{"Sir, if I am not imposing on you, may I suggest something?"}

"Sure, go ahead, Admin."

{"That Winged Reptile might be useful."}

["I agree with him."]

"You too, Gateway?"

["Yes."]

"Okay, let me keep it."

And all of the others were dismantled.

The summons became Summon Points.

The magic circles became Magic Circle Points.

Recipes became Recipe Points and blueprints became Blueprint points.

"Also, we may have to call them here. We must do everything to beat stupid people."

------------------------------------

"UG-10... UG-10.... UG-10. Here." Celestine stopped in front of the door.

Knock, knock.

"Proceed to the training room, the furthest from the room." Zion said as he then looked at the rewards he got when he reached Level 10.

{Notice: Every ten levels, your classes will be upgraded.}

{Notice: Every ten levels, you can choose to evolve your genes and bloodline.}

"Looks like every ten level up is a major boost, but the needed EXP Points is as much. No wonder." He said as he dusted off his clothes.

He then took some items and put it inside his Storage, which is different from the System's Storage.

Opening his door, he walked towards the training room to meet his visitors.

He wore a a coat that is made of wool; it's length up to the back of the knee, has long sleeves, and collar that is folded. It has golden highlights, with blue hems on the shoulder, sides and on the ends accentuated by the black color of the coat.

He then wore two gloves with finger holes and a strap. He also has a tight fitted jeans and black shoes to top it all.

As he opened the door, ten pair of eyes looked at him and smiled.

"Yo guys, I heard you lost your fundings?"
