Within a sprawling metropolis filled with seemingly futuristic machines and contraptions. In the vast skies of the city, numerous flying vehicles can be found. People going about their day. Some are standing in their stalls, selling whatever they have on. Some are walking about reminiscing the things they regret or have done during the day.
Trains can also be seen rushing in the middle of the city, propelled by a blue colored light. This light is known as the physical utilization of a concept of what was once acknowledged as fantasy. This light is most commonly known as 'mana'. This 'mana' came from this world a fifteen years ago, brought upon by a semi-catastrophic event which cut down the world's population to a third of it.
Amidst all this, in the middle of the city, an academy with numerous tall buildings inside can be found. Guarded by its majestic gates, which is most commonly known in this world as 'The Gates of the Future'. the academy stands at the top of all academies world. It was also the first academy that was realized after the semi-catastrophic event a decade ago.
In one of the many rooms of this academy, a teacher with black hair, brown eyes, standing at an average height of 5'8" with a suit which garners respect, stands before an audience of students, his very own students.
While he was discussing the fundamentals of the course, one student, a male with fiery red hair with features coming from an Asian family, raises his hand to get the teacher's attention.
"Sigh... yes Kim Yoo Joon?"
"Teacher! Come on, let's skip this lesson, after all, we already know this! We are the elites of the elites right?"
After Yoo Joon said this, all of his classmates went rowdy and was seemingly of the same opinion as him.
"Teacher! Why not tell us some stories?"
The teacher, with his hands in his lips while pinching it, is evidently considering the idea.
After a minute, the teacher responded.
"All right, shut up everyone. I'll tell you some stories."
The whole class suddenly went into a frenzy.
"Shut up or you all will lose this privilege."
The whole class immediately quieted down.
"You guys know what happened a over a decade ago right?"
"Yes, teacher. Although we only know it from stories. But... teacher, we also know that you are a big part of it."
Yoo Joon shouted as a response to the teacher's question.
"PFFFFT, 'big part'? what 'big part' are you talking about you fool! Don't you know? Teacher is the 'PART'! You fool! You do not know anything, maybe your brain is filled with nothing but anything."
Said by a black haired female, who looks at Yoo Joon with contempt evident in her eyes.
"What?! Kameko! You looking for a fight?!!" replied by Yoo Joon who stood up and was starting to walk towards the girl.
"Both of you keep quiet or both of you will be going outside!! What? you guys like to miss my wonderful story?"
In an instant, both of them sat and calm down, apparently quitted down in order not to miss any words from the story that their teacher will tell them.
"Alright, now, you guys know what happened right? It was when the majestic body of god, or what we, from back then, call it as 'whale', came down to our Earth."
"The body was around 700 kilometers long and 100 kilometers wide. The body features are like us, humans, two ears, a head, nose, two arms, legs, and even a schlong"
"TEACHER!!! EEEW"
"What? You guys are teenagers right? Some of you are even dating right?"
"Moving on, that event, was known worldwide as the 'Whale Fall'"
"This event jumpstarted our civilization to what it is today. It brought disasters, alliances, enemies, and even hope to this world. This is also the event which brought different races which are the elves, orcs, beastmen, demons, devils, to our world."
"It also brought the foundation of our society today to this world, and it is Mana. Mana is now used in almost every single thing in our lives."
"Now, let me tell you my story, my adventures, my heartbreak, my losses, my victories, and many more. This is my story, my book, my novel."
