Coral charged immediately, ignoring her question. He lunged at the solidifying mass of blackness that was turning human with every ticking second. He extended his arm, pointing the dagger forward, he struck! His knife, striking a surface with full force. Alas! It wasn't the surface he wanted to strike, no, the knife went straight through as if it had ignored the existence of the shadow, as if it had forgotten it. Its tip was caught on the wooden desk, Coral's arm in the body of the shadow. "Em truh t'nac uoy," It said. "human turning from,me stop you can neither,"Coral paused after he retracted his hand, this silly shadow just said actual words, he turned to the librarian and found that she was already almost all black. "Oh. Holy!" he gasped, the lady was starting to turn illusory. ∆And it shall come to pass that the soul of Lyris shall answer my call and bend to my authority.∆ the thick girl who seemed to have snapped out of the forgetfulness chanted.Just as she did the whole ha

Just similar to earth's countries and states. The difference was the size, for a planet holding two suns, Mianca was quite small in comparison to earth, it was barely larger than its moon in fact and habitable zones were actually smaller in percentage than earth's. This is mostly due to its south pole possessing a dangerous area called the Lava zone. More than thousands of miles covered in flowing lava. The information was quite unnecessary to Coral, but he still wanted to make himself familiar. He skipped through the different languages and cultures. He was about to start checking out his profile and rewards for surviving the logged relic when he was called into the office. He glanced up and saw the thick girl standing in front of him. He nodded at her and she did the same. He stood up and they both entered the office together. It was neatly arranged with the statue of a man covered in wings erected beside the office table. The statue seemed to hold an ample amount of life, like

He made his stance, and began to follow the rhythm, hitting the wooden dummy at targeted points. Sweats dripped down his head and onto his light brown skin. He punched and blocked, his movements turning into a trancelike state. For the past two weeks, he'd settled down in this world and had started to learn the way they do things. His roommate Magus was seated at the far corner, writing stuff down with a quill. After he had set his goals on Ag, every morning had been like this. He would wake up and go for his training routes which usually began with endurance and strength training. He would then move to skill acquisition. Within these two weeks, his body had grown rapidly, and a day before Ag had notified him that he had unlocked a warrior's body. After he finished with the wooden dummy, he went straight to the bathroom to get ready for school.

After Coral had read that part he'd closed the book and shoved it under his bed staring and focusing on Magus who was sprawled on the bed snoring peacefully. He only picked the book two days later. The book didn't contain any more important info except for the order zeros of all the tiers. The Orders were the stages one can reach within a tier. A magician can only choose just one tier as his path, and the more they study and practice, they get connected to the magical force and would be able to use it to achieve abilities listed in the certain tier and its corresponding order. He was a Sorcerer and his Order Zero was named druid and was described to have a vast connection to plants and animals and also life in general depending on the talent of the practitioner. He seemed to be more inclined with the plants and earth. His first skill was called stone identification and he was easily able to identify soils and different kinds of stone with it as regards whatever they were used for. He

"You sound creepy like you have died before." she said. "Maybe I have." She wanted to say something but stopped. She just stared at him for a while before speaking. "So you believe your parents are gone, forever?""Yes! Our love and hate have ended, forever. No illusions. All I carry is the residual pain of their memories." Aduke smiled. "Well. Their memories are enough for me to believe their existence has not yet ceased," she said. "If you don't mind, I want to go check on some friends." She stood and walked away, obviously angry. Coral snickered. "The truth always hurt," he muttered and closed his eyes.The breeze swept calmly against his cheeks, causing a soft rustling among the withered leaves scattered along its base. He let his body notice every hint of the serene quietness revolving peacefully around him. He was so lost in this world of his that he almost didn't notice the soft cracking footsteps heading towards him. "Coral, the atmosphere is nice isn't it?" the soft bu

He opened his eyes, and ignoring the sheering pain, he got up as swiftly as he could. The assailants were already turning back. They were retreating after treating him like this. After almost killing him? No, they don't get to deserve when this fight ends. They started and he was going to end it. "Hahahahahaha! MUHAHAHHAHAHA!" he laughed out loud. "Is that all you got? If you want to exert power. You need to find someone weaker!"The boys turned back surprised. It wasn't because of what he said. No. It was the fact that he was rushing at them, like a beast and a dagger was in his hand. He wasn't going to fight them. No. He was going to fight to kill! Every single one of them will soon realize he was a ticking time bomb and soon enough he would rip them apart limb from limb.He drove his knife right into the abdomen of one of the boys, squelching and screaming and met each other in a painful race to usurp each other.

For some reason it didn't sit well with her that Coral called her his sister. He was always confused around women, they always had their own private thoughts and proceeded to act nothing like they were thinking. "No." she protested, shaking her head quickly."Huh?" He raised his eyes. “Did I say something wrong?” He asked."I am not your sister. I am your friend... acquaintance." she stammered."Okaaay." he said and raised his hands. "Your sister," she asked. "She passed away?" "I don't know." he replied, not wanting to go there and she seemed to understand. She exhaled. "Umm, you will have to rest a lot. I told Magus you'd be back in four hours, but thankfully, I formulated the spells easily and fixed you up faster.""So how much time do I have left?" he asked."Two hours?" she said."Good, I will keep you company," he sat up, but felt faint."Lie back down!"

He woke up the next day feeling like a king. He danced through his early morning routine, rearranged their room to Magus's surprise. He showered quickly and for the first time, he beat Magus to dressing up for school. By the time his roommate would finish dressing up for school, Tina had arrived and they started out quietly. The morning sun was warm and gentle, like it was given everyone a big bear hug.

He didn't need to do anything else here, for the main time he had to start studying. He needed to learn a lot about so many minerals and so many plants. With his stone identification skill and plant analysis skill, it was going to be easier for him, still he had a lot to study. The book, Herbs and Magic had a very misleading title. It didn't have anything to do with Herbs and magic, sure maybe it taught lots of herbs and potions for sorcerers, but it's main purpose was actually to teach basic sorcerers to increase their magical force so as to ascend to the next order. He walked out of the laboratory with Magus and headed straight for his dorm to start reading or sleep, or whatever he felt like. After school and registration, with the just concluded experiment, he felt the need to rest. He was going to head out at night to the gym to train his mortal body. He woke up at around nineteen hours in the evening feeling lightheaded, sleeping for one and a half hours wasn't really the rest

Chapter Nineteen: Void Magician
The echo of his boots against the surface of the strangely tiled floor of the lab section of the school was so eerie it made him want to tiptoe. He checked his card tag again to confirm the number on it. "036..." he repeated in his head. He was walking as fast as he could, counting the number on the laboratory doors. "030... 031... 033..." "Okay slow down ass!" Magus called, panting behind him. He dropped the two kegs of water in his hands.He turned back to him, staring him down with his eyes. "You are lucky, we are here." He inserted the key attached to his card tag into the keyhole and turned, the door clicked open and he pushed it in. Magus lifted the two kegs inside, half dragging - half lifting and cursing the world for creating him with hands. Coral enjoyed this moment more than he admitted to himself, his lips curled up in a wicked grin. He entered the laboratory and found it quite adequate, it had everything he needed, from glass tubes to a big square pit. The equipmen

"Bradli Pouel!" he called. "Spiral House." A blonde boy in the front seat screamed YES! Coral arched his eyebrows as he continued to call names. "Magelius Fortuna," he called and Magus waved his hand uninterested. "House of Authority."And finally, "Coral Haller!" he announced. "Ember House."Coral was a bit startled, but Magus just smiled at him. "You are in Gwen's house." "Who?" Coral asked, astonished. "Gwendolyn." "The princess?" he said in disbelief. Magus opened his mouth to speak. "Would both of you like to indulge the whole class in whatever you are discussing." one of the students; a female, said, turning to them angrily. Coral shook his head. That was Alexia, the class leader. She was collectively called Mother Hen by everyone in the class. They just call her Hen now. She controlled the class with a flaming iron hand, especially when the profs were present. The class began and none of them met Coral's interest.
