A humanoid figure sat on the ground near a river. His eyes closed, facial expression calm and gentle breeze passed through the air fluttering his long hair. A golden aura enveloped his whole body, giving him an ethereal presence.
But....
Inside his head, a total chaos.
' Haa.... what do I do?'
Seven days have passed by from the day I got transmigrated. Strangely I got comfortable with this world a lot quicker than I thought. I would have been happy if only I hadn't wrote that last damn chapter before I died.
' Journey to Obscure.'
It is the name of the novel I wrote.
I wanted to create a world which I loved, a world where I want to reincarnate. A world where one can pursue his dream. I wanted to live in such world.
A world which had everything I read in fantasy novels. Cultivation, bloodlines, beast battles, a fair system, level ups, dungeons, towers, mysteries, world travel and much more things like that.
You could say it was some sort of obsession.
But.... I stopped writing in the middle due to personal problems.
I didn't want to leave my story hanging, so...
I destroyed the world.
" ...."
And that's where I fucked up.

Star Verse Academy
( Rudra's Pov)
" Good Morning."
I greeted my benchmate who sat beside me as I was feeling a little bit disgusting because of his continuous staring.
" Good morning weakling."
"...."
' These bastards just keep pissing me off, don't they?'
" Hey weakling, I heard some bastards tried to bully you."
" I won't call it a bullying. They were just small fries who I choose to ignore."
I replied with a scoff.
" Oh! Yes! Yes! that's the vigor every man should have. You must never cower in fear before your enemies. I would have been disappointed if you cowered like other nerds- "
" Cut me some slack big guy. I am feeling sleepy after eating all that."
" Just how much breakfast did you have to feel sleepy right after you woke up. Well just in case, but if you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of everyone, then try not to sleep. Our classroom teacher Anand is really strict."
" Oh! Tell me more.'
' It's important to know everything about your teacher for future planning.'
" He is the only teacher we have as other refuses to teach us so we don't trouble him much. Those damn noble pests, If I get the chance I will-"
" Our teacher."
" Ah! I got distracted!"
" Continue."
" He likes to sleep a lot, and often dozes off in the middle of class. But he is quite serious when it comes to teaching."
" Hmm."
" Hey new student. What's your name? "
A raspy voice came from the opposite corner of my row.
' Was he asleep during my introduction?'
" My name is Rudra Reddy."
He raised his middle finger while slacking on the bench.
" Fuck you Rudra."
' I don't sense any ill intentions, and that bastards smiling which means...'
' I know this style of greeting from my school. Never thought I would meet these kind of punks her.'
" What's your name?"
" James, the joker."
" Fuck you too James."
James is a short black haired skinny young man with black eyes and a lanky build. He Jumped from his seat and sat on the bench in front with one hand on his chin and other one combing his hair.
" So what kind of woman do you like? I heard that you like Maki from Shuri's idol group. "
My passive expression broke at that question. Ethne and Snow who were sitting in the same line looked at me with wide open eyes.
" I don't know what you are talking about."
" Come on, don't be shy, I know that every man his own tastes."
What do I do to shut this bastard up?
" Shut up."
" Pfft"
" What are you laughing at prez?"
On my question she turned her head away.
" I am not laughing."
I facepalmed myself, there's no saving this dumb girl.
" Khum... everyone, take your seats. I will be carrying attendance, be ready."
Teacher Anand spoke in his usual way with tired eyes. No one noticed him coming in, but they aren't that surprised. I guess this is normal for them.
" Evan."
" Present sir."
Snow
Ethne
Kayla

" Now that the attendance is done, class monitor your turn."
" Yes! Major."
Just like that we carried our daily exercise routine. Running, weight lifting, swimming( except the perverted octopus of course) and all other physical activities to keep our body fit.
I said it on the first day but seriously running the whole track while snoring , who the fuck is that shortie short other than Erika.
After a full hour we came back to the class for our next lecture.
....
" Since everyone is settled down, I will start our class about ' The Records'."
" Yes."
Our ever sleepy teacher got in serious mode for teaching the subject. No one brings any notebooks or stuff for writing as the teachers always send the daily recorded lectures to students for their study. Though there are also some student who took important notes.
As for me, I prefer writing, so I brought a notebook and a pen to write from my room on planet Earth.
Everyone had weird reactions and some funny comments which I would rather not talk. Anyway, I don't care much as this is how things work in my world.
The teacher had a faint smile on his face which surprised everyone but no one pointed out.
" Today we will talk about the restriction one must overcome to ascend your Ascension."
" There are ten Ascension starting from 1st to 10th. But Level 0 is the starting point of every being."
"1. To ascend to 1st Ascension, one needs to create mana paths in your body to assimilate flow of mana through your body. This restriction is applicable for all types of species.
2.To ascend from 1st Ascension to 2nd Ascension, one needs to go through the process of Body Refinement which is considered as an inferior version of Body Reconstruction. This restriction is also applicable for all types of species.
3.To ascend from 2nd Ascension to 3rd Ascension, one needs to go through the process called Blood fusion which allows the flow of mana inside the body, flowing smoothly and unconsciously. This restriction is also applicable for all types of species.
4.To ascend from 3rd Ascension to 4th Ascension, one needs to form the Mana core inside their body. Currently there are two places inside the body which are suitable for the mana core formation, lower abdomen and heart.
Among those who focuses on physical combat, forming mana core in lower abdomen and for magicians, forming mana core in the heart is a conventional practice carried on from the old times. This restriction is also applicable for all types of species.
Up to this point, most of the restrictions are the same for every species, but there are always exception like Dragons and Phoenix.
If anyone has any questions, please ask."
And just like that our class continued with questions and answers.
I also had some question, but I figured it would be better to ask Evan than to the teacher. So I continued writing down the important stuff.
