The universe is divided into two separate dimensions, each one being the opposite of the other and empowering the other.
The dark dimension harnesses negative energy generated from the light dimension, while the light dimension harnesses positive energy from the dark dimension.
However, due to the cynical nature of humans, the generation of negative energy is much greater than that of positive energy.
Negative emotions such as jealousy, anger, despair, fear, ignorance, impatience, insecurities, inhibition, inflexibility, and malicious desires suppress positive emotions like happiness, trustworthy relationships, loyalty, etc.
Over time, the buildup of negative energy in the dark dimension has resulted in a significant increase in the power of the creatures residing there, commonly referred to as "devils.".
The merging of the two dimensions, light and dark, resulted in the appearance of portals in the light dimension through which devils entered and began to hunt humans.
The balance between the two dimensions had to be maintained to prevent one from becoming too powerful and causing the other to lose its value.
If the such situation occurred, the universe would fall apart.
To help humans or in order to save their own asses, minor gods intervened and presented themselves as constellations.
They granted a "Status" screen to every human, which was only visible to them, to show their power and help them understand the dangers they faced.
But why does the protagonist get the better cheat and overpowered system, the reason is really simple. He is the protagonist.
The constellation would use an excuse that our protagonist is a perfect match for this newfound power, and he shall be the one to exterminate the devil lord.
At the moment, the protagonist doesn't have that cheat system, he is living a life just like any other low-ranked auror. And by luck, he also gets assigned to the class with all high rankers.
He would constantly be bullied, want to get revenge on every one of them and try to win over every woman he lays eyes on. And he succeeds once he obtains the cheat powers, which are expected to come in the next one or two weeks.
"Here is your identification card," Henry declared, presenting me with a white metal card.
"It grants you access to the special training grounds, your dormitory, and all the paid facilities of the academy without any fees. If you lose this card, you can acquire a replacement, but it will come at a cost."
I found myself in Henry's office, deep within the academy. Following my assessment, Henry had been treating me like royalty.
He had dealt with all the necessary formalities, paperwork, and admissions processes, even going so far as to assign me the top floor of the elite dormitory without asking for my input.
From the moment of my arrival, throughout the chopper ride, and up to the present, Henry had been treating me as if he wanted to be my personal trainer.
"Thank you," I replied as I accepted the ID card and stood up from the chair.
"You needn't thank me. However, if you feel truly grateful, why not become my disciple?" he suggested jokingly.
"On second thought, you can take this ID card back.", I said as I was going to put the card back on the table.
"No, no, no," he said, waving his hand dismissively.
"I'm just kidding ha-ha-. Keep it with you. I don't accept disciples. Not yet, anyway," he chuckled.
"...Perfect," I said with a thumbs up, as I made my way out of the office.
The academy's infrastructure was impressive; the entire island of Cypress was dedicated to the academy, with every facility a student could need.
It was a self-contained city, complete with societies, malls, shopping areas, fast food stalls, cafes, and even custom weapon production and selling shops.
The Elite Dormitories were a magnificent sight, comprised of three luxurious towers interconnected by pillars. It was truly a marvel of architecture and engineering.
Each tower was dedicated to a specific year of study, with the first-year students residing in the west tower, the second-year students in the central tower, and the third-year students in the east tower.
Students were permitted to leave the island three times a year for only two days each. However, non-rankers had to share dormitories, which were divided into two sections: A-wings and B-wings. The A-wings were reserved for the top two hundred students and provided better luxury and space.
It was no wonder that every student dreamed of living in the Elite Dormitories, and our protagonist was no exception. But fate had other plans for him, and he found himself in the B-wing of the standard dormitory, a world away from the splendour of the Elite Dormitories.
I strode through the lobby of the staff building, heading towards the reception area for the dormitories. My appearance was impossible to miss; I had thick, jet-black hair that cascaded down to my waist, even after I tied it into a ponytail.
The presence of aura in one's body disturbed the anatomy of melanin which usually resulted in hair other than the colour black.
Most aurors had hair in shades of blue, white, red, or brown, which made my hair stand out even more. I wore a black cap and coat, making me easily noticeable, especially in the rainy environment.
The reception area of the dormitories was bustling with students chatting in groups, walking out for a stroll, or just hanging around. The receptionist was a friendly and professional woman in her twenties, with long brown hair and brown eyes.
"New admission?" she inquired, eyeing me up and down.
"Yes," I confirmed, pulling out my ID from my pocket and handing it to her.
She flinched when she saw the details on my ID and looked back and forth between me and the card.
"Rank 1?" she exclaimed.
At her words, every student in the area paused their activity and gawked at me.
"Yes," I replied in a low voice.
"Okay, just one second," she said, scanning my ID on the computer.
"I've linked this to your dorm lock. You're good to go."
"Thanks," I said, taking back my ID and leaving the area, ignoring the curious stares of the other students.
