THE LAST DAYS IN PALLANTIUM
The atmosphere in Pallantium increased the gathering of magic tremendously and my Isolation Lamp doubled the gathering, so in a short time, our Awakening Levels increased tremendously.
"Hey, I can enter Antenne School of Magic now", Raven said to us excitedly.
"Me, too", Bommurs and Minna replied to him together.
"Unfortunately, I still have some way to go but I'm almost there", I told them.
By Autumn all my friends' magic had reached Mercury Tier and I was at Awakening Level 10. I was only short of a breakthrough to reach Mercury tier magic.
My friends had more than enough magic from the Sacred Garden, so they left me to gather magic by myself as they returned to the village to prepare for School in Antenne.
Although I had absorbed a large amount of magic from the Sacred Garden, I still failed to break through into Mercury Tier which was a prerequisite for entering School in Antenne with my friends.

"Arkkk"
Suddenly a bird swooped down toward me as if to pick me up for dinner.
It was a bald-headed Eagle that was at least equivalent to an Earth Tier which was much stronger than any creature that I fought before.
But before the bird could catch me, I leaped and somersaulted over twenty feet behind me.
The gravity in Nymera was at least double that of Pallantium, so I felt extremely light when walking on this world and my Templar Momentum was almost doubled which gave me enormous running and jumping abilities.
So, it wasn't easy for the bald-headed eagle to catch me.
"Ring of Growth"
Suddenly as the eagle swooped over me again, I leaped more than 10 feet over the eagle and stepped on its body as magical vines entangled the creature.
My vines were now strong and durable after my Awakening Levels increased and even an Earth-tiered creature found it difficult to escape from.
After a year in the Sacred Garden, I've learned to master and control my soul Blades and Magical Missiles perfectly and using them became second nature to me. In terms of templar magic, my soul blades have the equivalent of the maximum magic of a Mercury tier soul realm which wasn't sufficient to harm the Earth-tiered eagle, but I had to try anyway.
"Soul Crescent Blade"
My soul Blade flew around in circles that continuously sawed the bald-headed Eagle's neck, cutting it. But the creatures' neck was tough and thick.
"There must be other parts of its body that are weaker", I told myself.
"Magical Missiles"
My soul missiles continuously pierced the bald Eagle's head at high speed, looking for weak points in the bird. After a while it became clear that the bird was weaker under its wings.
So, my magical missiles continued to strike the bird around the same spot where it was the weakest which surprisingly caused some injuries to the bird.
"Stop messing with my armpits", I could imagine the bird crying out to me.
But the bird was powerful, and it instantly started to regenerate its wounds.
However, it needed time to replenish its healing magic. So, I didn't give the bald-headed eagle time to heal as my magic missiles continued to open more wounds on its under-wing body.
The people and creatures in Nymera were much stronger than those in Pallantium because we were trained by harsher gravity. Pallantium was actually in another planet that had much lower gravity than the Ten-Kingdoms.
When we came to the Sacred garden, we didn't travel to another place in our world but we managed to cross into a far away world.
In my previous life, he discovered that the universe that we knew contained corridors that could reach other planets and world. Pallantium was one such world that could be reached by magic portals.
"That would explain how I could hurt the eagle that badly", I told myself.
Suddenly the eagle was about to flee after realizing I was about to kill it.
"Rings of Growth"
My magical vines were conjured on the retreating bird that pulled it to the ground.
"Soul Crescent Blade"
My soul blade continued to cut the bird where it was wounded until eventually, the bald eagle finally succumbed to its wounds.
After killing the eagle, I quickly carved out its magical heart and burned it in my Isolation Lamp. Although I didn't really expect it, I started to feel chest pains again as I was on the verge of a breakthrough.
I don't know whether it was the magic from the bald eagle's heart that finally pushed me to a breakthrough or the experience that I felt killing the powerful beast, I broke through again.
"Mercury Level 1"
Finally, I've reached a Mercury Tier in Templar magic.
Although the Sacred Garden was a fantastic place to train my magic it was time to leave because given my Angel Affinity advancing a level in Mercury tier was quite a monumental task that couldn't be achieved in a short period of time.
It was the trade-off for having an Overpowered affinity.
But at Mercury Tier, my Templar Stars summed together could rival even a mid-level Venus Tier Templar. I had nothing to complain about.
There was no point staying in the garden even if it was beneficial to me and it was time to go to school in Antenne town.

I returned to Slowan village around the end of Winter.
Spring was around the corner, and it was time we left for Antenne town.
Our friend's family decided to join us in Antenne town and migrate there to look after us. I even persuaded my father Kechum to move there too. We were after all peasants in a village with little possessions. We could work in a new town and make our home there.
Ronnie Grump the Illuminati Space Trooper who ended up in Nymera already learned to speak our language although he didn't socialize much with people whom he was unfamiliar with. Me and my friends were his only friends in Slowan village.
In his spare time, Ronnie worked on his gadgets and during the year he made many modifications to his equipment. Ronnie was actually a Chief Scientist of the Illuminati before he was stranded in space.
Although his shuttle was wrecked, he ripped out the Fission reactor and modified it to run on magical hearts and he connected the reactor to his hand phasers turning them into a large rifle cannon that didn't need frequent recharge.

(Author's Note)
I have read comments that think the story is too complicated with the interplanetary travel. I agree that it could be confusing without reading the first book, Awakening @end of the world.
In that book, the MC was an interplanetary traveler, travelling through distant worlds, physical and magical which was a main part of the story. The inter-planetary travel in this book is minimal, they are there just enough to tie in with the story of the previous life otherwise some of the concepts here don't make sense. I hope you can bear with me on this and enjoy the story.
I'm sorry I made it complicated, it's not my intention. Thanks.
