Examining myself in the mirror, I had this strange sensation, like an uncanny sense of Deja Vu, and my emotions toward it are too difficult to put into words.
Touching my face, a dull ache lingered in my head. My memories felt fuzzy, yet looking at my face managed to elicit a faint smile.
"Why do I suddenly feel youthful again when this youth was lost for so long?" I mused. "Well, I do look handsome. Ah, my charm! I'm falling in love with myself, but I need to maintain control; otherwise, I'll end up like Dean."
Admiring my wet, golden hair and blue eyes, I couldn't help but feel dismayed at my slender physique. It was almost as if I wanted to exclaim, "My gain!"
Sighing, I realized it was time to hit the gym again.
Drying myself off with a nearby towel, I had an abrupt realization, "Wait! I don't have any spare clothes!!" "Damn it." I decided to look inside the closets and was astonished to find seven sets of spare clothes neatly arranged.
"Wow! They fit perfectly, but how?" I asked Ai, baffled by their presence.
"How are there clothes of my size?" I inquired.
[During your registration, your body size and details were scanned and uploaded. These seven spare clothes are part of your dorm. Any damage or loss to these clothes incurs a charge] Ai responded robotically.
"Fascinating. Are we like slaves here?"
I admired the enclave's system and its treatment of slaves. "Can I view my details too?" I inquired.
[You can access your status by saying 'status'] replied the robotic voice.
I instantly said, "Status."
The response showed:

"Ugh, I'm in the war department with such a low power level," I muttered, feeling disappointed. "I'm such a weakling."
After trying on all the clothes, I settled on a simple pajama set and shirt.
Jumping into bed, embraced by the softest comfort, felt like heaven.
Lying on the bed, I began fiddling with my wristwatch, and soon, a hologram appeared. A little confused, I asked Ai about it.
It turned out to be a home screen for calls, messages, search engines, and social media platforms. I discovered I could download different things and felt eager to give them a try. But as fatigue started to take over, I chose to rest instead. Before I fell asleep, I figured it would be wise to understand more about my current situation and the place where I found myself.
"I can learn a lot about this world through this amazing Ai," I remarked to myself.
Suddenly, a notification popped up.
```
Congratulations 🎉 Mr. Adam, as a premium enrollee, you have 5 permits to increase your status to the intermediate level. You can also only view posts of intermediates on social media. Beware, the wrong use of a permit can lead you to a dead charge.

Surprised, I thought for a moment about my perk. "Wow, life can get sweet sometimes. Hmm, well, for now, I'll save these perks for later. Let's focus on just getting some basic information," I mused to myself.
"Can you tell me basic information about Esclave and the place I am staying?" I asked Ai.
[Affirmative. You are currently located on a planet named Esclave with a singular continent. Known as the state of Esclave, it is a small planet orbiting a star identified as Nadir. Similar planets in proximity are employed for similar objectives, and each of them assigned has the same name but they are classified on their rank and order. The particular planet you are on is designated as Esclave No:7, all of which are under the ownership of Seraphlings.]
'Again 7, give a break. Someone sure loves 7.'
[The currency everyone uses here is called "xy," and it's used all over the Divine Justice Union.
Esclave is split into three parts: the Outer Wing, the Inner Wing, and the Heart. The Academy of Esclave sits right in the middle at the Heart. Its main goal is to train those from lower hierarchy races so they can serve the higher beings in the Union. This place is all about learning and has lots of departments that focus on training different skills. It's more than just training; it's about getting ready to serve the Union really well.
The academy is really big and has loads of departments like Chore, Labor, Building Management, and others. You're in the Department of War. This one's all about teaching and training people to become skilled fighters, ready to serve in the Union's battles. In this department, students learn things like how to fight, make battle plans, and be effective in a fight. Their main job is to serve Union conflict and interest also protecting its territories.]
"Dang! Just why can't I stay away from war and peacefully recover my memory?" I grumbled.
"Can I change my department?" I asked Ai in the hope to remain away from war.
[No! The only way to change is by a higher authority in a union or an academy.] The robotic voice replied, throwing water on my hope.
"Union? Hmm"
I asked Ai. "Can you explain to me about the union?"
