We gathered in the conference room, with Professor Seraphina Nightshade standing before us, her presence commanding everyone's attention. She began to tell the story of an event that took place two hundred years ago: the invasion of demons on Earth.
"The Earth was thrown into chaos," Professor Nightshade began, her voice filled with sadness and determination. "The demons sought to conquer and corrupt every corner of our beloved planet. It seemed that all hope was lost."
"But in the face of adversity, humanity discovered a hidden power within themselves," she continued. "They began to awaken, unlocking abilities and harnessing the essence of mana that flowed within their very souls."
"The tales of magic and mythical creatures that pervade ancient legends are a testament to this power that has always resided within humanity, albeit dormant. But the demonic invasion acted as a catalyst, awakening this inner magic in many individuals."
"With the awakening of their powers, men and women bravely confronted the demons," she went on. "They fought with magical skills, powerful spells, and a deep connection to the mana energy. This marked the beginning of a journey towards evolution, where science and magic merged to create a new era of progress and defense."
Professor Nightshade explained how the discovery of mana power led to a deepening of scientific knowledge, leading to new discoveries, inventions, and technological advancements that contributed to countering the demonic invasion. The combination of science and magic allowed humanity to develop effective weapons and protections against the demons, ultimately leading to their defeat.
"As the demons were repelled and the Earth freed from their presence, humanity found itself in a new landscape," Professor Nightshade concluded. "A world where magical power and scientific progress coexist, opening doors to new opportunities and challenges. Our task now is to continue cultivating and perfecting our magical gifts, using them to protect and guide our future."
"And this is where we enter the marvelous world of the System," Professor Seraphina Nightshade continued. "An enigmatic creation of mysterious origins, resembling an interactive video game, that played a fundamental role in humanity's fight against the demons. The System offered rewards and incentives for completing missions, allowing the purchase of never-before-seen magical potions and even the ability to transcend one's own talent."
"With the System, individuals could unlock extraordinary abilities, enhancing their magical power in ways never seen before," she explained. "It was like having a unique opportunity to achieve magical excellence and surpass one's human limits. However, the System required careful utilization and balanced management of the accumulated resources."
it is said that we could hear the voice of the gods through the system.
"After the victory over the demons, the System faded away, as if it had fulfilled its mission," Professor Seraphina Nightshade explained. "However, it has not completely disappeared. Traces of its presence remain, like a subtle link between the world of the awakened and the power that once bestowed upon us."

If the System were ever to reactivate, it would mean only one thing: that humility is a danger. In the meantime, we have created the amethyst stone, which seems to be able to communicate with the system even though it's not active, so we can see our status.
the Amethyst Stone has proven to be a valuable tool for maintaining a connection with the System," she continued. "This magical stone, with its crystalline energy, allows the awakened to know their status and residual abilities. Through a special connection with the Amethyst Stone, it is possible to obtain information about one's power, accumulated experience points, and progress made on the path of magical evolution."
As Professor Seraphina Nightshade explained the Amethyst Stone, my mind wandered, envisioning unlocking new abilities and enhancing my own talent. I ardently desired access to the System, completing missions, earning rewards, and transforming into a renowned mage. The idea of surpassing my limits and transcending my potential filled me with enthusiasm. Regardless of the System, I committed to utilizing every resource and growing to my fullest potential as an adventurer.
The difference in talent between the F rank and higher ranks is significant, but at level 0, the difference should be minimal, although higher ranks experience greater increases in statistics upon awakening.
Talent Statistics points per level Ability points per level Total A 30 6 3000/600 B 25 5 2500/500 C 20 4 2000/400 D 15 3 1500/300 E 10 2 1000/200 F 5 1 500/100
Professor Seraphina Nightshade explains that the difference in talent between the F rank and higher ranks is destined to grow as one increases in level. This means that those at a lower level would be better off focusing on improving their abilities rather than solely on statistics. I realize that constant training and honing of my skills are essential to progress and overcome the challenges that await me. I must set aside concerns about my statistics and concentrate on my personal growth as an adventurer.
Having discovered my affinity with the element of darkness, I search through books for ways to harness this power to my advantage and learn how to keep it hidden.
The professor explains the concept of new gods and constellations that are gaining followers. Howeverthey note that many of these gods are actually part of the pantheon of ancient gods, just with different names. Just as the Roman and Greek gods are the same, only their names change.
There is a group of fanatics known as the Templars, who dedicate themselves to the search for original relics and the pursuit of ancient legendary treasures. Among their targets are the sword Excalibur, the Holy Grail, the Crown of Atlantis, the Philosopher's Stone, the Sword of Damocles, and many other precious historical relics. The Templars are known for their ability to decipher riddles and solve ancient mysteries in order to locate and retrieve these lost treasures. Their passion for archaeology and history drives them to explore remote locations and face dangerous beasts, but at this time none of the original relics have been found, and it is uncertain if they even exist.
