Episode 1: Getting Used to It (1)

"Arthur!" Someone violently shook his body.

Felix's eyes opened slowly. A face appeared before him.

"Haaa!" Felix swayed his arms and pushed the face away. He raised his body and panted heavily.

"Who are you?" Felix looked at Dan. Dan also looked at Felix and laughed.

"Are you still in your sleep?" He patted his shoulder. "You are very late today. Even stale bread may not be in your mouth." He then left.

Seeing Dan leave, Felix tilted his head. "Ah!" Then he realized. "I'm in the body of someone named Arthur."

Looking back at the memories of Arthur, Felix finally knew that boy.

"Dan... My best friend then." He nodded his head.

*Growl~*

His stomach cried. Felix stood and rushed to the place where food was served.

After eating three stale bread, Felix's stomach was satisfied. Each bread was thick and big enough to fill an adult stomach.

"I should go and register myself as a Knight." This time Kevin's memory was helpful.

He walked to the nearest Knight Association Building.

––––––––––––––––

It was 50 years ago when the apocalypse struck.

At that time, no such thing as knights and powers existed. Slowly, people died, and many lands were taken by monsters.

Finally, people awakened power a year after the apocalypse. Slowly, they fought…

From then, the strongest knights formed an organization called the Knight Association. They named themselves as knights, aiming to protect humanity.

The strongest knights created safe zones. The geniuses crafted magical items from the ores obtained in dungeons.

Advanced farming began, advanced suits were developed, and the world became more sophisticated. While the poor lacked facilities, they could survive and live happily.

The knights fought daily to reclaim the land.

The fight that started 48 years ago still continues until now. The knights have taken over only 20% of the land. While the situation now looks optimistic, it isn't particularly good.

No one knows when monsters will invade the land again. At that time, a huge war will begin, and humanity would be on the brink of extinction once again.

**Knight Association Building.**

It's the tallest building in the whole city, with over 500 floors and a super cool appearance.

*Ding!*

The automatic door opened for Felix. He entered the building. The lobby was beautiful, with white walls, no windows, and no visible lighting source, yet the whole place was bright.

It was magical, a creation of a genius mind.

On the receptionist table, two ordinary women stood, both extremely beautiful. As Felix approached, they weren't disgusted by his outfit. They both smiled, and the lady on the left spoke.

"Welcome, sir. How can we help you?" Her smile was charming.

Felix scratched his cheeks. As a healthy young boy, his eyes wandered towards their chest first and then to their faces.

Still, he coughed and tried to speak, but words didn't come out, as he had never spoken to a beautiful girl.

He used Kevin's memory and tried to stay calm.

"Hello, I am here to register myself as a Knight."

"Really." The girl's eyes sparkled. "Please enter the room. We will show you the one who will take your test." She said politely.

She left her desk and led Felix to another room.

The room was small, with only white walls and nothing else.

As they entered the room, a small part of the wall slid up, and a man in a white coat walked out.

"Hello, you are here to take your Knight Test."

"Yes," Felix said.

The girl bowed toward the man and left the room without speaking.

The man nodded and took out a pane of glass. The pane of glass glowed, and a hologram similar to the system hologram appeared.

[Initiating Knight Test.]

[please use all your power and fire your skill at any wall, or use your skill at the wall.]

The hologram turned bigger and floated above.

"You heard it, kid. Test it. If it's dangerous, I will move out," the man said.

"No, it's okay," Felix said.

He looked at the wall and pondered how to use the skill. He observed his shadow.

He manipulated the shadow. A small part of mana was used. His shadow boiled and moved at his will.

It turned into a fist, and he punched the wall. There was no sound, and the wall remained perfectly fine.

However, the wall glowed a bit red. Then, a text appeared on the wall.

[F-rank]

Seeing that, the man's face showed a hint of disappointment, but he still smiled at him.

"Not bad. Wait, your knight card will be ready in a minute."

The receptionist girl returned to the room with a form asking for general information.

After filling out the form, he received a silver metallic card. The card had a smooth surface and was empty.

Tapping on it once, an interface appeared on the card.

[Information]

Name: Felix

Age: 16

KP: 0

Rank: F

Only this much was shown on the card.

KP meant Knight Points, the currency which knights use to buy anything.

Seeing Felix using the card professionally, the people there were surprised, but they didn't show it on their faces.

"You can live in any empty room in any apartment in this city. Just go to the apartment and choose a room. The room will belong to you," the receptionist explained.

She was going to say more, but Felix nodded and left without listening much.

He knew pretty much everything, as he had the memory of Kevin, who was an S-rank Knight.

He went to an apartment and chose Floor 2, Room No. 8.

Each floor had ten rooms, and most of the rooms were empty.

The room wasn't small. It had a bedroom, bathroom, toilet, living room, training room, and a balcony. The room was luxurious.

Felix sat on the bed and began to think about the plan ahead.
