In My Room

"Woah, this is surely large," I muttered in awe as I looked around the room, my room to be more precise. 

There was everything you could ever ask for. Be it the comfy bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, restroom, training room, or the most useful aspect for Awakeners - the Meditation Room.

Well, we can call it a cultivation room as well. 

"Is this the perks of getting the first rank?" I muttered after taking a juice and sitting on a sofa. Honestly, it wasn't bad. No, it was amazing.

'MC will take the first rank in the second year, so I knew what the room would look like. But seeing it in person is something else. Not to mention having the privilege to use it for a whole semester.'

'Don't worry Aurelius, I will keep the room in the best of its condition while using it to the fullest.'

'Come to think of it, my neighbor should be Aria since she is ranked second. It's going to be difficult to converse with her because of her personality. Well, unless you are the MC. Hell, even he barely managed to be friends with her while they were in the academy.'

"Sigh, let's stop thinking about useless things."

'I first need to recollect everything I can remember from the novel.'

Aetheric Chronicles.

At first, it wasn't that famous but I picked it up being intrigued after reading the volume 1. The protagonist is Aurelius, a sick crown prince who was neglected by his family and bullied by his brother. He was also the talk of the whole kingdom. Even then, the king and his father used him by arranging a marriage between him and the Lighthaven Family's daughter.

But, everything changes on Awakening Day. The sick crown prince awakens affinities with all 7 elements and a powerful Solar Tier Five Star ability and will become a student of Celestial Academy's top instructor.

Yeah, it is a cliche plot and characters.

But it gets better the more you read. 

And, there is me. Adrian Lighthaven - some readers call him a hidden villain, some a side character while others - an extra.

The author uses Adrian effectively to create plot twists in the story, like him getting first place in the entrance exam. Or passing the first semester's exam with perfect scores again.

But it all ends in the second semester. The other characters will catch up to him, while the main characters will surpass him. And his ranking will go down by several rankings at the end of the second semester. He will stay stuck at the peak of the Nebula Tier. And finally will be expelled at the start of the second semester. Well, he will leave after causing an uproar or incident, whatever you call it.

And by the time the second year ends, all the characters will forget about him even existing. Even... his own sister.

Yes, that's the kind of character I am.

But!

It doesn't mean I'm planning to live just like in the novel.

No way I'm gonna do that.

"I'll change my fate, rewrite the script of this story," I muttered, clenching my fists. "I won't follow the path set for me in the novel. I'll defy expectations, break free from the constraints of being an 'extra.'"

Well, that might have sounded a bit cringe and ambitious. But I meant what I said.

"But first, I need to strengthen my abilities. That's the key to surviving and thriving in this world," I thought, contemplating my path forward.

I need to reach the peak of the Nebula Tier as soon as possible.

With determination fueling my resolve, I set my sights on the arduous path of cultivation. The perks of the luxurious room were not just for comfort but also served as a conducive environment for honing my abilities. So, I immediately headed into the Meditation Room.

The Meditation Room, a space specifically designed for Awakeners, held a unique energy that facilitated the enhancement of one's affinity and cultivation. It was a sacred haven for those seeking to unlock the full potential of their abilities.

"I also need to understand the intricacies of my Chrono Vision and unlock its true potential," I mused, pacing around the Meditation Room.

The visions I received were powerful, but they often lacked clarity and control. If I could harness the full capabilities of my Solar Tier ability, it would undoubtedly become a game-changer.

It was then I remembered about my rewards which I received from the principal not long ago.

"Let's see what I have gotten."

I retrieved the golden ring that the principal had handed to me earlier. Its intricate design glimmered under the soft lighting of the Meditation Room. Curiosity and anticipation filled me as I examined the mysterious artifact.

Gently, I slid the ring onto my finger. The moment it made contact, a surge of energy pulsed through me, and the room seemed to respond. Symbols and patterns illuminated on the floor, forming a mesmerizing array beneath my feet.

"What is this?" I whispered, entranced by the sudden transformation.

The golden ring emitted a warm glow, and a holographic interface appeared before me. It displayed various info, options, and settings.

"This must be an advanced tool for Awakeners," I surmised, realizing the significance of the golden ring.

Since I used to play games, I knew what this ring was.

It served both as an inventory and as an artifact and a controller.

It allowed me to control the mediation room's settings, such as the intensity of the Aether and which element should be used.

As for it being an artifact, it would form a golden barrier around me once a day, when I'm in danger. You needed to inject Aether in order to activate that function.

And lastly... The inventory.

Haha, I wonder what things I received for getting the Top rank, huh...

Without waiting any moment, I opened the inventory.

"W-woah... These things are... amazing..."
