Chapter 9 - System Activate

Cruzer walked through the bustling halls of the academy, his mind racing with thoughts of the upcoming assessment and the gap between him and his peers. He made his way to the library, a grand structure filled with ancient tomes and modern texts, offering a wealth of knowledge to those who sought it.

Determined to bridge the gap between him and Alisha and Rin, he knew that understanding the world he was now a part of was crucial.

The library's towering shelves loomed over him as he entered, the scent of aged parchment and ink filling the air. He found a secluded corner and settled into a comfortable chair, pulling out a book that caught his eye: "Mystic Earth: A Comprehensive Guide to Our World- Author X."

He opened the book, its pages crackling softly. The first chapter immediately caught his attention, detailing the unique structure of this world, so different from the Earth he remembered.

This world, like the one from his fragmented memories, was called Earth. However, unlike the Earth he remembered, there were no countries, no borders marked by political disputes. Instead, this world was divided into five vast regions: the Northern Region, the Southern Region, the Eastern Region, the Western Region, and the Central Region. Each region was governed by one of the four major families, whose influence and power were unparalleled.

The Northern Region was a land of icy tundras and towering mountains, ruled by the Ichinose family. Known for their formidable strength and strategic brilliance, the Ichinose clan had produced some of the greatest Mystics in history, including Ichinose Rin. Their family was blessed by the Ice Phoenix, a mythical creature of unparalleled frost and wind powers.

The Southern Region, characterized by its dense jungles and sweltering heat, was under the dominion of the Hazerlink family. The Hazerlinks were masters of elemental magic, their control over fire and earth renowned throughout the land. They were blessed by the Vermilion Bird, a creature of fiery might and rebirth.

The Eastern Region was a land of serene forests and flowing rivers, governed by the Ferris family. The Ferris family was known for their affinity with nature and healing magics, making them revered healers and protectors of the natural world. Their blessing came from the Jade Dragon, a creature embodying life and wisdom.

The Western Region, a vast expanse of deserts and rugged terrain, was controlled by the Valen family. The Valens were warriors without equal, their mastery of combat magic and tactical acumen making them feared and respected. They were blessed by the Thunder Tiger, a creature of immense strength and stormy wrath.

At the heart of this world lay the Central Region, where the royal family resided. The royal family, whose bloodline was said to be blessed by the Celestial Serpent, held the ultimate authority, unifying the regions and maintaining balance.

The Celestial Serpent was a creature of immense power, capable of manipulating the very fabric of reality. The Central Region was a hub of culture, politics, and power, its influence radiating throughout the land.

The current monarch, King Aric, was known for his wisdom and strength, his presence commanding respect and loyalty from all corners of the land. The royal family maintained the balance of power between the four major families, ensuring that no single family could dominate the others.

These four families were collectively known as the Four Heavenly Kings, their power and influence extending throughout the regions.

Each family not only ruled their respective territories but also played crucial roles in the broader political landscape, engaging in alliances and rivalries with other influential clans. Beneath these major families, numerous other clans and houses vied for power and influence, each contributing to the complex tapestry of this world's politics.

Cruzer continued to read, learning about the intricate balance of power and the mystical blessings that shaped this world. He was fascinated by the role of mythical creatures and the unique attributes they bestowed upon their chosen families.

As he delved deeper into the book, he discovered information about a hidden aspect of this world: the Demon Realm.

Unlike the five regions, the Demon Realm was a dark and chaotic land, existing parallel to the human world. It was a place of perpetual night, ruled by demonic beings of immense power.

The Demon Realm was a constant threat, its denizens seeking to invade and conquer the human regions. The four major families, along with the royal family, were the first line of defense against these otherworldly invaders, using their mystical powers to protect their world.

The Demon Realm had its own hierarchy, with powerful demon lords ruling over vast territories. These demon lords were constantly vying for power, their conflicts often spilling over into the human world.

The most formidable of these was the Demon King, whose ambition was to unify the Demon Realm and lead an all-out assault on the human regions. The ongoing battle between the human Mystics and the demonic forces added another layer of complexity to this world's already intricate dynamics.

As Cruzer absorbed all this information, he realized the immense challenge that lay ahead. Understanding the political and mystical landscape of this world was just the beginning. To truly make a mark, he would need to harness his potential and navigate the treacherous waters of power and ambition.

Closing the book, he felt a renewed determination. "I have to understand this world if I'm going to survive and thrive here," he muttered to himself. "No matter what, I will find my place and prove my worth."

Suddenly, a warm feeling started spreading through his body. Alarmed, Cruzer scanned for the source of the warmth and found it emanating from the mysterious mark left behind by the entity in the dark room. His pulse quickened as a voice echoed in his head
