Chapter 1 : New Journey

New Journey

Magic knowledge was everything for Antonidas Kaleck. He studied magic for more than three hundred centuries and he's still studying it now.   

Whether its magic theory or magic itself, he had learned everything related to magic. The theories he published until now was world-shocking, he had discovered all there was to know about magic and even won the recognition of the Emperor itself.  

He becomes a scientist working for the emperor and teaches all his knowledge to his students who became the actual elites magicians of the imperial court. Others of his students even became a magic researcher who helped him to find news knowledge in magic.  

He was someone who was respected by the magicians and a legendary figure for them. Whether it's commoners or nobles, everyone in the country respected him and he was someone who was loved by the God of magic.  

Two years ago, he succeeded in obtaining eternal life and it was, unfortunately, something he shouldn't have discovered. People who wished for eternal life started chasing after him, most of them were nobles with authority, even the emperor ordered elites soldiers and elites magicians once he learned that Antonidas discovered a way to obtain eternal life, thus, the whole country became his enemies due to their greed and selfishness.  

In the end, Antonidas Kaleck secluded himself in a secret secluded place far away from the people. He found out a secret cavern inside the abyssal realm, a dangerous place filled with dangerous monsters such as dragons, wyverns, golems and others terrifying creatures. The Emperor sends investigation troops inside the abyssal realm but none of them came back alive. 

The cave where Antonidas settled became his home and he became a hermit studying magic inside this secret cave. After ten years, the Emperor regretted his actions and canceled his order to looking for Antonidas but Antonidas was leisurely living his life inside the abyssal realm without worrying about anything. 

He reached the pinnacle of magic, thus, the strong monsters inside the abyssal realm didn't try to chase him away since he was a threat and even some of them became his pets after he tried some experimentation with them. 

Fifty years later, Antonidas was still living inside the cavern of the abyssal realm, he settled a laboratory and created a new discovery, the temporal portals. With the wish of returning to the past to change his actual secluded life and find another way of living, he tried his new experiment and tried to return the past.  

Right in front of him, the temporal portal which he created with extremely rare materials he found inside the abyssal realm was truly working. He was enthusiastic that his new experiment succeeds and prepared every necessity before going through the portal such as foods, parchments, flasks, and rare materials outside the abyssal realm such as sulfur, magic stones, teleportation scrolls and few other precious materials that could only be found in this era.  

He wasn't sure about successfully returning to the past, but still, he wants to try it and everything he had done until now worked. He was confident enough and was ready to give up his life for his own experiment.  

This kind of thinking was already imprinted in his mind and he didn't mind losing his life for an experiment. Of course, he also takes all the precaution necessary for his survival if something unexpected happened, he was resolved but not fool.  

What he didn't expect after entering the portal was a dysfunction of the portal, transferring his soul into another realm...

When he woke up, Antonidas noticed that he was no longer in his laboratory and was in a dark room instead. 'What is this place... Why is it so dark? I went inside the portal then...' He thought for a little then felt joy from succeeding but at the same time was doubtful about the fact that he truly returned to the past. 'Did it succeed? Am I really back to the past? But this place seems unknown to me... Where are the lights...?' 

The dark room was a chamber made from stones. From the look, it seems like he was inside the chamber of a castle. The luxury red bed on which he was lying was unknown to him.   

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Searching around him, all the equipment he was wearing before going through the portal disappeared! He tried opening his space inventory, fortunately, it still worked.  

Looking at the space inventory, all the things he put inside were still there. He became relieved and sighed. 'At least I only lost my equipment... Although it's unfortunate, at least I didn’t die during the experiment.' If he were to lose everything from the travel, he couldn't calm his heart since a lot of magic scrolls, scrolls magic theory and precious items were inside his space inventory. 

Noticing a mirror near the entrance or the room, he went towards the mirror. Once he looked at his face, he was shocked. 'This is...' It was no longer the same face he used to see, in front of him was a young boy with long red hair with a beautiful face. He looks around 14 years old, the handsome boy was unknown to him.  

'The magic circuits were connected, the circle formation was also connected to the magic circuits and the portal seems to work... How did I end up entering inside this body...? Argh... And what is this insane headache since I woke up! This body is also extremely exhausted... I'm starting to go crazy' Wondering what happened after entering inside the portal, he couldn't think any longer since a strong headache suddenly appeared after he woke up, it was only now that he noticed the strong pain inside his head and with the exhausted body of that young boy, he decided to take a nap before doing anything else.  

Returning to the luxury bed, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep at an incredible speed.  

******  

While he was sleeping, memories of the young boy appeared inside Antonidas' brain. All the memories of when he was born until reaching 14 years old deeply imprinted inside his brain.  

Recollecting YuHan's memories, Antonidas learned few important things about his situation. Antonidas actually found a new discovery of reincarnation instead of returning to the past! It was the first time one of his experiment failed but he felt joy about his new discovery. 

The young boy was called Zhao YuHan and this world was totally different from his past world. In this world, magic was still unknown for the commoners, unlike his past world, not only commoners but also the nobles living in this world didn't had a lot of knowledge about magic. It was still undeveloped which depressed him a little. 

The magic of the world he reincarnated only discovered magic two hundred years ago, and YuHan, the young boy he possessed was a noble from a small village called Stone Jade Village, situated near the Stone Jade Capital. The magic of this world had only 6 elements, fire, wind, water, earth, light, and shadow. Others elements such as ice, arcane, plasma , storm, woods or others elements that still hadn't been discovered yet. 

The young boy called Zhao YuHan was a chosen student of the Magic Academy that was newly founded in the Stone Jade Capital, his father, Zhao Wen paid a huge amount of money for his scholarship and wished that YuHan could become a magician who's job got the highest pay at the moment since it was still a job that was rare and unknown for the people of this world.  

Aiming to become a magician, YuHan studied magic on his own from the books his father bought for him and learned that each person had their own magic element and magic power since their births, it was something totally ridiculous for Antonidas who learned all the knowledge of magic in his past world and could learn all the elements without problems. 

The people in this world indeed doesn't know anything about magic so, for them, there were people with high magic power and people with low magic power, the magic power was something they couldn't increase because they didn't know how to increase it apart from cultivation and was something related to the blood which shocked Antonidas who was someone who was born with low magic power back in his former world.  

Antonidas also noticed that YuHan had low magic power since his birth. It was also the reason why his father spent a lot of money for his scholarship for YuHan to learn magic and become a magician. He wished his son to work as a magic researcher or magic item researcher in the future because it was a job that was currently researched by the people of this world.  

The income that a magic researcher earned was really high since it was unknown to the people expectedly towards the nobles who didn't have talents with magic and were ready to pay a huge amount of money for rare and precious magic items. 

When Antonidas woke up the next morning, he went out of the castle visiting the village and start to study about the knowledge of magic of this world but also all the information necessary for him to live in this new world such as the living creatures in this world, the currency or even the basic knowledge about this world.  

Fortunately, excepted for few exception, most of the knowledge of this world was the same as his former world, thus, after learning the things he didn't know about this world, he decided to cultivate his magic power with basic materials because even though he had rare materials inside his space inventory, YuHan's body couldn't fully absorb such things as magic pills or magic scrolls because the risk of death from absorbing the materials was too high, he needed in the first place to cultivate his magic power and reaches a certain level of magic power before absorbing such strong drugs. 

After learning that his exam test of the Magic Academy was going to start in two months, Antonidas started to gather all the basic materials he needed for low-grade magic pills to increase even a little bit his magic power.  

Antonidas was still worried about the low magic power that YuHan had and started cultivating in his own room with all the help of his knowledge about cultivation and magic pills he created, he succeeds to increase his magic power while secluding inside his own room little by little every day.  

Fortunately for Antonidas, YuHan's memories were imprinted deep inside Antonidas' mind, so he could hide really well to YuHan's father the fact that YuHan no longer existed and was possessed by Antonidas. Thinking that YuHan was earnestly trying to become a magician and realize his dream, he thought that YuHan only had a sudden maturation earlier than another child. 

2 months passed extremely fast and Antonidas was finally going to the Magic Academy. Since he could only cultivate inside his room and didn't use the rare materials inside his space inventory, he couldn't increase his magic power any further, thus, he decided to go several days before the exams to explore the Stone Jade City. 

'Since this world's magic is so far behind, I'll change the magic knowledge of this world.'  

With that kind of thinking in his mind, Antonidas departed to the Stone Jade Village towards the Magic Academy situated two days in a carriage from the Stone Jade Village.
