The world as Lin Feng knew it was destroyed alongside his beloved ones and acquaintances and he will ended up alone in an another world which he assumed to be the same as the previous normal one. But he was wrong. By the time he was done lamenting his loss, he realised that he had become a Light Mage at the basic level in Bo City and was a classmate of Mo Fan.
A character he knew from a novel. Because it was unwise to assume he knew everything about a world just because he read a novel, he digged deeper into Mo Fan's history and found out about his Father who had been punished by Mu Zhuoyun after his tryst with Mu Ningxue, his handicapped god level stepsister Ye Xinxia, Principal Zhu, Commander Zhan Kong and Underground Holy Spring were all present.
With the possibility of becoming a strong mage and taking control of his destiny and not being a helpless soul and watch his planet be destroyed again he decided to progress in the world of magic with his knowledge.
That's when the reality of the matter struck him, he wasn't very rich nor did he have any connections or resources for cultivating. You know the transmigration package like a Little Loach pendant or a helpful senior heck he didn't even have an innate Talent.
Quarter of Mo Fan's rise is his talent, another quarter his Little Loach pendant which is the totem vessel of a Sacred Totem Leader which was between Low and Mid Emperor level and the rest was his determination and his circumstances, and he a similar transmigratory had diddly squat.
How was he meant to cultivate, his deceased parents were white collar workers and left him exactly one million RMB, but even a Stardust magic tool costed 5 million on average afterall it could used as long as possible.
And he had the Light Element and no talents, yes Light Element Super Spell was the strongest single target attack spell, but he was unsure of reaching the intermediate level.
Thankfully school education for Mages were free, and now that he had awakened successfully, unless he failed the year end exam he wouldn't be kicked out.
I guess the Li Family have their merits too.
