[ AI supercomputing processor-912 inaugurating is in progress]
[ Scanning the Neuro signal wavelengths of the host brain]
[ Scan completed, inauguration successful]
Steve looked at the string of massages appearing on the transparent screen in front of him. There was a blank expression on his face and he was in a state of confusion for a moment.
This confusion is not caused by the transparent screen as he was very familiar with it. This is the Virtual AI assistant developed by the research team of the University of California led by Dr Rechard Stanley. This AI assistant can help people memorise, analyse and optimise data. it can be said as a compressed version of a supercomputer.
Although it was not popular among common people because of the cost factor. scientific researchers like Steve were provided with these AI assistant chips by the Nations to increase the research efficiency in their country.
And coming to the important point, the real reason for his confusion is the situation he was currently in. Moments before he was still in his laboratory doing experiments on the newly developed gene optimising serum. He was in the final stages of the testing when there was a malfunction in the insulator which caused the serum storage capsule to explode.
He can still remember himself being burned by the flames and being swallowed by endless darkness. the pain he experienced then still sent chills down his Spine.
When he opened his eyes He was in this strange room lying on a wooden bed.
Steve looked around and tried to sit straight.
''Sss'' ''ouch''
There was a sharp pain around his chest like being pierced by needles.
He looked down at his chest and found that his upper body was naked with bandages wrapped around it. There was still some blood dripping down the bandage and spreading out. maybe because he moved the wound.
But what caught his attention was the lean muscles and V-shaped toned body which was different from the pale thin body he knows.
"Aaaaa"
Suddenly there was a hammering pain in his head and groups of memories entered his brain. The pain in his head was more intense than the pain in his chest causing him to scream.
'huuuhhh huh huh
It lasted for a few seconds before easing down causing Steve to gasp for breath.
[ Detected unknown data entering the host brain ]
Steve ignored the AI message and focused on the new group of memories that suddenly appeared in his mind.
It took him a good fifteen minutes to get the basic idea of the situation he was currently in. From the memories in his head, the first thing he understood is the fact that he was already dead and somehow occupied the body of a teenager.
And the world he was in now was completely different from the world he knows. The world he was currently in was very similar to the middle-ages of the earth with kingdoms, kings and nobility with flames of war generated every once in a while.
The only difference between the two worlds is the existence of the extraordinary elements in this world. This world is filled with dangerous beasts who can slaughter villages in seconds, powerful knights who can rival an army and miraculous herbs which can cure even fatal wounds.
This is a world where the strong were respected/feared while the weak can only look up to the strong. And the most respected/feared people in this world are neither the kings who control the kingdoms nor the knights who play a prominent role in the existence/stability of the kingdom but a special group of people called Magi who are said to be able to understand the secrets of nature and control the nature itself. Magi are said to be the embodiment of natural disasters and can flatten kingdoms by themselves.
Becoming a magus is the dream of almost every person in this world. Becoming a magus will not only give them wealth, power, and status but also extend their lifespan and make them live longer beyond the limits of normal humans. There are even myths about magi who lived for more than a thousand years.
But not everyone can become a magus. One needs to have the magic aptitude to become a magus and only one in every ten thousand individuals might be able to have this aptitude.
The original owner of the body he was currently in belongs to a teenager named Victor Ebony.
Victor Ebony is the second young Master of the Ebony family. and his father was the earl of Black Pearl kingdom of mecoral islands. when he turned 13 years old he was lucky enough to discover having the aptitude to become a magus. Which brought immense happiness to his family.
But before he was able to get over the happiness, he was assassinated by an unknown person while celebrating with his friends.
Although he was rescued by the personal Knight arranged by his father. he was already in a critical situation when he was brought to the house for treatment.
After being in a coma for two days victor died allowing Steve to live again. ( Steve doesn't know about this)
[Bonus: to become a knight one needs to consume external material resources(herbs and monster beast meat ) and run the knight-breathing technique to temper one's body to the limit.]
.....
[ Authors note: I want to give a basic introduction of the World in this chapter, so it may sound slightly rushed. I will try to improve myself in the following chapters.
This is my first novel, and English is not my first language, so please be considerate.
I am a big fan of wizarding novels with a dark theme like warlock of the magus world, But there are not many novels similar( I personally only know 4 or 5 similar ones).
Although I don't know whether I would be able to write a good novel. I will not write a novel that disappoints me as a fan of dark novels.
And finally what I want from you is your support, and thank you for reading this to the end]
