— I welcome you, students of this academy, to the entrance ceremony. The echo of his voice reverberates throughout the auditorium and you can clearly hear what he is saying. Will this be the use of “magic”? — Today we mark the beginning of your paths. Before you are the gates that lead to an amazing world. This academy has a legacy written in the blood of those warriors who forged their swords with the fire of the dragons they slayed. Many of you know the stories: stories of heroes who slayed those creatures that soar the skies and walk the earth, stories of how they defended territories so that those who inhabited those lands could see a tomorrow. But what you have not been told is that here, in this compound, you cadets will be molded, trained, study and learn all that is necessary to defeat a dragon. Perhaps a few will forge a name for themselves to start their own legacy. — True power does not come from the beasts they will tame. The power you need is the power of will: the will to keep going, no matter what adversity you face, no matter how bleak the outlook may seem. Some of you will not make it to the end. This path is not for the weak. You will face your fears, fall to your weaknesses and succumb to the darkness. But if you persevere, if you allow the fire of your will to burn in your hearts, you will leave here not as mere warriors, but as guardians and true Arcanists! — Remember, you are not here by chance. Each of you has been blessed and has managed to awaken and manifest the powers of a dragon. — So, cadets, are you ready to embark on this journey, are you ready to be forged by the fire of Ares? Only time will tell. May the flame of Ares protect and illuminate you on your journey. Welcome to the cadet academy, Tracia! With that said, the large auditorium doors open, and a gust of wind enters. Then, the lights come on, illuminating the entire auditorium. Everyone stands up, including Seraphine. Not knowing why, I confusedly stand up as well. — Kalzar! -they all shout in unison.

This is a story about memory, time, chaos, and healing. For you see, time tends to take it's toll on everyone and everything; but something can only wither so much before it's destroyed, replaced, reworked, or desecrated; things change. The world's a big place, but not big enough. Everything's always moving, changing, and aging. And as this happens, history piles up onto itself, reworking the world into countless configurations, all based upon the foundations of its unique and ever expanding past. But unlike time, configurations of reality are not technically infinite, at least to a noticeable extent. As time continues, history piles up, and the world changes, everything will eventually have happened. Time loses meaning because nothing is new; and things get boring.

PURE, a game that took the world by storm. But not only in the way that one thought of it. It was the leading VR game of its time. And for years after its development it stayed that way. Until one day when it became reality. Or to the players of the time, when it retook reality. Most thought that it was merely a magical phenomenon that took them to the world of PURE. But to the truly informed it was a competition that had reclaimed Earth and its inhabitants. The period in which it was a VR game was only a tutorial and meant only to reacquant us with its systems. Yet even as they competed for territory and power from other races it was conflict between the humans that brought us to now. To the time when two people were sent back in time. A fierce competition and battle had led one to suicide for another and the other to desperately kill said another. But unknown to both they were sent back in time. One wanted to rule the game, the competition and the other simply wanted to save her friend. But this is a story of neither of them, it is a story of the friend. Of the talent of mankind. The savior and greatest genius that mankind had birthed and his story of navigating the regressed enemies and friends.

When the boy woke up, he discovered that he was lying on the ground where the lake used to be and that he was naked. Not only that, but his chest was bigger for some reason, and his hair was longer.

No belly button, no depression even... her belly is smooth as an eggplant! And even though her parents say she is perfectly normal, she knows well that she is definitely not normal. Because... No normal human, in fact, no other existing human was born without a belly button. And so, Goldie is convinced that if people ever found out about her not having one, they would call her... a freak. And they would probably expunge her from society… or do something much worse... "Light the torches! Raise the pitchforks! Kill the witch!"... That sounds about right. Yup.  This is why all her life, Goldie has worked conscious of the fact that she has no belly button, and ensured that she kept it a deep, dark secret. Hidden away from the world. And as it seems, the gods are with her because everything is going great for her. That is, until she hits puberty and suddenly, she starts growing wings! ... Okay, hold on.

Unmarred by any creation, and yet simultaneously and patiently waiting for all creation with seemingly bated breath. A realm without spirit or soul.

There is always the desire to be the strongest, the fastest, the smartest, and to reach the apex of everything. To some, they believe that talent determines everything. To others, hard work is more important. For many to reach the apex of any field a combination of talent, hard work, and determination is needed. In a world where powerful demons, unkillable immortals, and strange monsters ran amok. Where human lives were treated on the same level as ants. Yoze, a young man who had transmigrated from Earth to this dangerous world could only rely on his hard work, strong will, and his cheat, the Second Best System to that makeup for his lack of talent and resources. With his desire to improve his family's life and his ambition to surpass human limits, he set his eyes on passing the Scholar exam as he took his first step toward dominating the world. Whether it was humans, demons, monsters, immortals, or gods they all were within his sights and would soon become a stepping stone for his rise to excellence. "You are a genius of 1000 years. Okay, I'm a genius of 900 years. I'll surpass you in three years." "You are the most talented runner in the world. That's okay, I'm fine with being the second most talented runner but I bet I can surpass you in three months." "Having the most talent doesn't mean anything unless you use it. You are born with talent. I earned it. You are afraid of demons while I cherish seeing every demon." Yoze smiled as he looked at the nine-headed immortal under his feet. "I heard that Immortals can't die. Let's test that rumor." As Yoze advanced on his journey he slowly discovered that there was no supreme power system or logic that this strange world followed. Whether the Spiritual Energy that the demons monopolized, the Crystal Energy that could create entire worlds, or the Inner Vigor that humans held close to their hearts. Yoze was determined to become the master of them all!
