After everyone chose their school the priest clapped his hands while telling everyone to gather around the stage.
"Everyone, as you all know tomorrow, will be your first day at school therefore I have a gift for all of you. As I call your name, come unto the stage and choose one of the rings that calls out to you. What's inside them depends on your luck. Inside each of them, there is at least a blank starter deck and booster box which you need in your first class tomorrow. If you want my advice, I would wait with inside the rings till tomorrow also any other item you feel a connection with are also okay now let's start. Eshra please come upstage ."
As I heard my name I immediately walked towards the priest. And I tried focusing on the rings to feel if there was a connection with one of them. After some time I felt a connection with a three-layered necklace the first layer was decorated with beads who represented the elements. the second layer had beads respecting all kinds of items and what I suspect to represent crafts. before looking at the last layer I turned to the priest to let him know that I chose the necklace. as I let him see the necklace I heard one of the parents say.
"look at that freak looking al happy with a necklace decorated with skulls. who gave birth to such monster I would have killed him if I was them."
When I heard him say that I felt dizzy and collapsed. I vaguely heard my parents explain to everyone about my PTSD and that I got it from my past life which wasn't that uncommon apparently while I was listing my re-experiences more livid. I saw myself getting beaten up by a group of bullies while they called me a freak and demon spawn. it got worse until I felt a hand on my shoulder lightly shaken me and calling my name. to which I slowly opened my eyes and saw the priest shaking my shoulder with a concerned look on his face. he asked if everything is alright. "yeah I'm alright my mind is stil a bit hazzy. Sorry for disturbing the ceremony again."
"Son, what are you apologizing for you did nothing wrong, your parents explained everything I feel sad myself from hearing only a little bit you been through. As for being reincarnated it is a bit common for champions to be reincarnated. As for the ceremony as I explained to the others that necklace will form a bond with you through some ancient ritual you with will be explained more about in class. After the ritual the necklace will function as a place for you monster to live in and will grow in strength with you. Now you should go back to your parents the others are waiting for their turn." said the priest with a kind smile on his face.

The moment i arrived beside my parents I got bombarded with questions from my friends. Questions like how it was like in my old world and how old I was before I died. After everyone chose their gift I bid farewell to my friends and the priest while entering the carriage.
While traveling back home, I kept thinking about what I could learn at raging torment university. one of the subjects I am looking forward the most are those about monsters. And those about the different ecosystems would be interesting to. I am really curious who will be our teachers, maybe it will be one dads friends. As I had nothing else to do I looked out of the cariage enjoying the view I really can't wait till tomorrow.
When we arrived it was already time for dinner so my dad began to cook its one of his hobbies. While my dad made the dinner me and mom began preparing the table. As we were done with the table dad placed dinner on the table. He made a some steak and stir fried pattatoes. After diner I called it a night because tomorrow I can't oversleep. As I drifted away I Began having a strange dream Inside the dream, I was surrounded by different kinds of elements. Some where more fluid some more solid while others felt earie other felt uplifting. As I tried to make a connection with the they began to rush inside me and form a small planet who grew with the minute. As the planet grew i felt more elements trying to form a bond with me. While my monsters tried to strengthen the bond which I gladly helped. As the dream went on the planet grew some of the solid types of energy and affinities like earth, metal, wood, qi, stone, ice, and Many others turned themselves into the ground. The more fluid types like water, rain, magma, acid, mana, heart energy, etc. became the rivers and oceans. After which the formless types formed the wind, atmosphere, storms even merging with other types. While the raging types turned into the warmth of the world and the sun, the positive and negative elements spread themselves evenly over the world, eventually forming night and day and life and death. After the planet grew twice the size of earth i felt some energy flow towards my necklace. After some time the necklace began to glow brighter and brighter until the necklace began to float and the light dimmed. As the light dimmed a girl came out of the necklace.
