In the year 1455 of the Apocalypse, within the Dragon Empire, at the No. 1 High School in Eastsea City.
Nearly a thousand senior high school students gathered on the playground, their faces full of expectation and nervousness.
Today marks the day when all senior high school students in the Dragon Empire awaken and undergo their job changes.
More than a thousand years ago, the void descended, and countless void monsters appeared across Blue Star through the void rifts, beginning their invasion.
Blue Star underwent drastic changes.
Deeply bound to a system called Apocalypse, things called Apocalypse Square Monoliths appeared worldwide. When humans turned eighteen, they could be blessed by the Apocalypse Square Monolith and awaken to various professions.
In the center of the playground stood a black obelisk, its lights flashing, and a slender figure stood in the center of the altar.
"Mr. Carter, with Liam Foster's talent and achievements, he can at least awaken an S-level profession, right?"
"Almost, he is the most outstanding genius in our No. 1 High School!"
Outside the altar, teachers chatted quietly, looking expectant.
A beautiful lady with an elegant temperament and intelligence smiled. She looked tall and graceful in her professional attire, particularly her long black legs that drew attention.
She was the homeroom teacher of Class 9, Senior Year, Emma Collins.
The boy undergoing the awakening ceremony was Liam Foster, her student and the most outstanding student in No. 1 High School.
In every exam, whether it was theoretical knowledge or physical fitness assessment, Liam was close to perfect scores.
Hence, she had high hopes for Liam's awakening ceremony.
Suddenly, lightning and thunder struck, and a roar resounded in the void.
Then, a holy light fell from the sky, illuminating Liam Foster.
"This is..."
Seeing this, not only did Emma Collins's eyes widen, but Principal Luke Young and other school leaders on the ceremony platform stood up!
"SS-level professional anomaly!"
Could it be that their Eastsea No. 1 High School is about to make history?
But at that moment, something strange occurred!
Suddenly, a huge shadow passed through the sky. The students looked up and saw a luxurious psychic plane passing over Eastsea City.
The awakening ceremony was disrupted, and the holy light suddenly disappeared...
"What's going on? What are the people in the Traffic Control Bureau doing?!"
"Didn't they say that all vehicles and teleportation arrays should be shut down during the awakening ceremony?!"
Principal Young was shocked and angry. He never imagined the awakening ceremony would be disturbed!
The awakening ceremony is very complex, requiring a stable space. The teleportation array and vehicles using psychic energy affect space stability.
Therefore, according to imperial law, all cross-city vehicles and teleportation arrays are prohibited during the job transfer.
Yet today, a psychic plane is taking off and landing in Eastsea City!
This is a blatant violation of imperial law!
Emma Collins showed a worried look, glancing at Liam on the altar.
Don't let anything unexpected happen...

"Master, we've arrived at Eastsea City."
On the luxurious private plane, Damien Blackwell slowly opened his eyes.
He was about twenty years old, with a smooth and fair face, and a sharp, cold handsomeness.
Though his expression was a bit lazy, he exuded a noble temperament that left an impression.
Damien Blackwell looked at the Eastsea cityscape outside the porthole, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
It has been nineteen years since he arrived here...
The Blackwell family is one of the most powerful families in this world.
His father, Charles Blackwell, the head of the Blackwell family, is an 89th-level psychic master, one of the empire's five legendary powerhouses, the chief executive of the Empire Cardinal Council, and wields great power!
As the heir of the Blackwell family and the only son of Charles Blackwell, Damien received a very strict elite education from a young age and was held in high regard by many.
And Damien lived up to expectations, awakening the SSS-level legendary combat profession, the Oracle Knight!
The moment he awakened his profession, the Apocalypse Monument triggered a vision that stretched for three hundred miles, even alarming the regent.
Not only that, Damien also awakened another profession simultaneously, making him a rare dual-professional individual.
But until now, no one knows what his second profession is...
After awakening his profession, Damien was directly admitted to the Imperial Academy. In just one year, Damien's professional level was raised to level 21.
Ordinary people can only raise their professional level to about level 25 at most.
In other words, Damien reached in one year a height that ordinary people can only achieve in their lifetime...
He is a recognized super genius in the empire!
In front of Damien, an old man in a suit with meticulously combed hair stood respectfully.
He is Mr. Johnson, Damien's personal butler.
He is also a level 58 combat mage!
Combat professionals around level 40 can hold high positions at the city lord level in the empire.
Combat professionals above level 50 are national deterrent forces.
With Mr. Johnson's strength, he could directly create a large guild or become an imperial general!
But he chose to become Damien's personal butler, handling various affairs with loyalty and devotion.
The Blackwell family's background is evident...
Damien said lightly, "Has the identity of that person been confirmed?"
Mr. Johnson nodded, "It has been checked. After that person took the secret source, he first stayed in the chaotic city for a few years, then bought a new identity after plastic surgery in the underground black market. Since then, he has been running a butcher shop in Eastsea City."
Someone immediately stepped forward and respectfully placed a stack of information in front of Damien.
"Butcher shop?"
Damien smiled, looking down at the information in his hand and sighed, "The youngest major general in the military at that time has become a butcher shop owner now. It's hard for him."
Having said that, Damien's eyes turned gloomy.
Ryan, a former major general of the empire, a level 52 Red Lotus Knight, was also the youngest major general in the military and once the emperor's guard officer.
Fifteen years ago, during a battle between the military and the void front.
The imperial army suffered heavy losses, with six corps wiped out, including the troops led by Ryan, who also disappeared.
The military determined that Ryan died in battle, but the Blackwell family knows the former imperial major general is not dead.
Ryan stole the Blackwell family's treasure, the Secret Source, on the front line of the void!
Then he faked his death and escaped....
The Secret Source, the supreme treasure from the void, is related to the Blackwell family's century-long plan to seize the empire!
Over the years, the Blackwell family has been tracking Ryan's whereabouts.
Damien flipped through the information again, saw a photo of a teenager, and raised his eyebrows, "This is Liam Foster?"
Mr. Johnson said in a deep voice, "Ryan adopted an orphan and named him Liam Foster. He is now a senior student at Eastsea No. 1 High School."
