Dawn woke up early at 7 am, stretched his upper body, drank a glass of water freshened up and decided to sort things out.

He had transmigrated into the world of magic and cultivation where people could move mountains and capture seas according to the rules of this world everyone could enter endless plains when they turned 18 and awaken the body's ability to absorb mana.

And this was an unbreakable law there was no one in the past who had been able to cultivate before the age of 18.

People of this world called Goldfire had a chip planted in their brain from their childhood growing alongside them helping them a lot.

The world was 100 years ahead in technology compared to his previous life. Right now he was in the northern region of the empire bordering a transcendent mountain.

The climate here was very harsh, especially for mortals but they were able to cope with the help of technology, The temperature here was always minus degrees Celsius, and atmospheric pressure was low due to the altitude of this place hence people had difficulty breathing.

Country folks called this place Frozen Graveyard, a very apt name indeed as few left this place alive.

People go to the endless plains because it is the only place on the planet helping the younger generation in sensing the mana around them.

Once people can perceive mana they are in the body refining realm during this process some lucky ones can awaken special abilities but chances are abysmally low.

Dawn didn't consider himself unlucky, he was lucky even in his previous life born with a fully functional body, didn't die as an infant he could on the whole day telling people about why he was lucky.

Maybe he carried some luck from his previous life to this new one because not only was he able to awaken abilities, yes abilities he had awakened two abilities maybe because of transmigration who knows.

One allowed him to summon creatures without consuming mana and the other turned him into a game-like character that's all he was able to understand now.

He knew about this as these abilities were part of him now floating in his consciousness in the form of pillars, one red the other blue.

Magic-10

There were some other attributes displayed but he didn't bother with them, the status was the result of his abilities. When he tried to use his summoning ability the red pillar glowed with bright red light and an altar appeared below it with the number 120 written on it.

Portraits of strange creatures started appearing beside the pillar with numbers written on them he was able to guess the alter represented his capacity and number on the portrait how much space they will take.

Currently, only 4 creatures were available to summon; others were blanked out. "Damm! Now I can have an army of my own Let's see who can stand against me," Dawn said while smiling happily.

He was feeling hungry. He hadn't eaten a proper meal for a long time. He decided to head to the canteen. Although the outside was very cold, the inside was warm and cosy because of the Goldfire, the base on top of a gold fire vein.

Cadets were going in and out. The base was lively with a population of 5k out of which 4k were non-combatants.

While he was walking out of the hall no one approached him as he was a loner in both worlds he could count the number of friends he had in one hand.

Chip showed me the way, he ordered the chip and the chip carried out his command faithfully and showed the way for him.

He decided to follow the directions and reached a noisy hall with a cacophony of noises, cadets talking and laughing arguing overall a lively atmosphere. He found an empty seat in the corner of the hall and ordered his breakfast through the chip.

While waiting for the food to arrive, he pondered why the atmosphere of this place didn't match its name. Well, he will soon learn why this place was called a frozen Graveyard.

5 min later his breakfast was delivered by the robot, he decided to finish his breakfast quickly and explore the place, and while he was thinking of exploring the base came the sound of the announcement. The hall quieted down because of the announcement they didn't want to miss anything important.

Cadets of unit 9 will report at the main gate of the base at 8 a.m. sharp, announced the speaker in a monotone voice.

Dawn frowned; he wanted to explore the place now he had to do something else. Dawn didn't like being ordered around one bit. But he didn't have a choice in the matter after all his predecessor had forcefully enlisted.

Finishing his breakfast he headed to the gate following the directions given by the chip, he was amazed by the utility of the chip in his world the research on this tech had just begun.

After walking for 10 min he reached the gate and was greeted by the sight of four people standing in front of a man in his late 20s with a respectful attitude not daring to make a sound seeing dawn coming over the man who looked at him and spoke.

Seems like everyone here, my name is Nios Riverblade the man spoke in a plain voice. I will be your captain from now on he continued.

Hearing his introduction the 4 people from before had shocked expressions on their faces, especially hearing his surname that belonged to the ruling family of this empire and one of the strongest forces on this planet.

Nios didn't bother with their reactions he was used to it. Looking at them he said Familiarise yourself with each other We will leave in half an hour, Nios spoke and disappeared from the place like a ghost.

Watching him disappear five of them awkwardly looked at each other. A youth with blonde hair and blue eyes decided to break the silence between them.

"Hi guys I am Nemo Marcus from the southern province," he spoke with confidence and vigour containing charisma that made everyone focus on him.

After him everyone decided to introduce themselves, A boy with blue hair and a fair complexion spoke while pointing at himself," Ajanta and this is my twin sister Ellora," he said pointing his hand beside him., We are from the eastern province.

Lucy Goodheart from the northern province was the last person who spoke in a cold voice. Everyone looked at her with an annoyed look can't she just speak normally

Finally, it was Dawn's turn he said casually, "Dawn asylum from the middle province".

And that was the end of their conversation, nobody seemed interested in talking to each other.

Only Nemo looked at everyone with hopeful eyes but the other four seemed disinterested. Just like this, half an hour passed, and only then did Nios appear.
