Chapter 1, The Academy.
*POV Daniel*
I turn back to look at my parents and to wave at them. Inside I feel kinda nervous.
As my hair freezes from the cold, I walk on the smooth bare granite steps, to the great, enchanted, dark jade, wood doors.The first thing I see are fellow students mingling, chatting, and laughing in a imposing great hall, all made from enchanted redwood. Trying to ignore one of the cakes on the huge wood table I pass by, I walk to the headmasters office.
I knock the door. I hear a hoarse, old voice carrying the regret of the old fight filed years.
*POV Headmaster George*
I see an average kid, about eleven years old. He has white hair, deep inky eyes and vampire like pale skin in a new student uniform step in the room.The nervous eyes of the youth stare intently at me. “Please sit down,” I motion to a chair. The youth nervous immediately vanished as he spoke in a warm voice “Headmaster, my name is Daniel”.
Daniel placed down his admission form. I nodded and asked Ms Emma to you please give this student a tour.
*POV Daniel*
I follow silently behind the woman called Emma, out of the administration office. She suddenly speaks in a small voice, “our first destination will be the dorms, here are your keys. Your room is number two thousand. Destination two will be the library”. I just nod a bit stupidly. After a quick walk we reach the library. I am surprised when when she speaks in strained tone, “I’ve got business to do. Go to the great hall and sign up for some classes, then follow your teacher to class. Simple?” I answer back clearly, “yes ma’am,” and I walk to to great hall as instructed.
Looking at the list of classes I could sign up to I quickly choose some classes to attended. Swordsmanship, skills class, mana usage class and strangely I choose spying/tracking/hiding class. The first class on my schedule is swordsmanship so I walk towards our new ((swordsmanship)) teacher called Alex. The group of us chat while we walk to class. Alex's explains swordsmanship, which I've already learned, to the newbies in the class. I begin to think about the different of paths to mana when I hear a startlingly arrogant voice start to talk to our teacher Alex, “When do we start actual ((swordsmanship))?”
Alex immediately stands up and says, “Ryan Acturas, in this class I am the teacher, I don’t give a damn about who your father is. SHUT UP!! and sit down. Do you want to teach?” “No” replied the arrogant brat from the capital. Not standing down either. Walking to the next class, ((skills class)), I see the arrogant brat named Ryan Acturas walking in the same direction. Ha! I thought rich d*cks could have private tutoring. He turns around, looks at me calmly and says, “join me and my group I…” cutting him off i say firmly ”NO.” He takes in a breathe, looks into my eyes and says, ”suit YOURself”. As I watch him walk away glaring at me with those pudgy blue, punchable eyes.

Arriving at ((skills class)) I take a nice leather chair at the back, then turn to look at the teacher. Shuffling his papers he looks at us and speaks in a kindly tone. “Welcome to ((skills class)) today we will start…..”.
*time skip year later*
I simply can't wait, today i go fight my first beasts. Even if they’re… weak but still, it'll be fun! I glance at my stats:

I am very happy with myself, these stats were good. I am a bit confused with willpower and luck, but hey, everybody's unique I quote to myself. Nodding to myself I walk to the carriage which will take us to the ((Portals)) which take us to the ((Beast lands)).Looking at the massive arch I can see complex snaking lines of arrays making up a ((Portal array)). Fizzle crack Flash! The arrays turn on. I step through the colorful ((Portal array)). Under the teacher's strict orders every one begins to arrange to the ((Spinning spiders technique)). This technique was made for low level adventurers to circle around the low level beasts and knock them around. Slowly but safely killing them. We slowly begin to enter the depths of the ((Beast land)). Our first beast we encounter is a ((Small green slime)). It is a very common, super weak, creature. This is my classmate’s very first creature but I have fought them before as part of father's training. I am the first one to attack, jumping at the beast. I flip while swinging my sword then I kick it to Mary Greenwood, a royal brat of a classmate. I begin to smirk demonically as I chortle in my head. Mary Greenwood is trying to stop the slime. She does not know how avoid its sticky gel. Now she is rolling on the ground trying to get the slime off her with the assistance of quite a few young males. A young lord across from me, turned, nodding to his friends. They begin to advance, the ringleader speaks to me, threateningly, “you should say sorry”. Chortling openly, I lift my fist and the ring leader lifts his. He and his hench men throw their punches. Ducking from one, I meet another fist with my fist then I drop down to do the splits before finishing with a roundhouse kick. The short battle ended, their side losing. Grinning, I walk away, “what trash!”.
*POV Stupid brat*
I simply stare at the back of the guy who had made us lose. How unfair! I was higher than him! How can a son of a high lord loose to a MINOR lord’s son? Then I hear the devil speak! “What trash!” I begin to get angry. I vent it on a kid near me called Stefins by feeding him an uppercut and he bowls over in pain and starts to bleed from the nose.
