Seiko then looked at the calendar on his table. Servania had the same amount of months as Earth and there was 24 hours in a day. The game would start when the new semester of Ascension Academy would begin and as the God said it had already been a month that since the semester started.
Servania's technology and society was the same as Earth in the industrial age except there was mana and they had found a way to solve global pollution. There were some technologies that the current Earth could not have made in a thousand years but things like internet, mobile and other gadgets were missing.
" I am already behind the game and plus the first major trouble in the first arc is about to happen in two days."
The main problem was that he was injured and he would need some time to heal or would have to waste his money to heal. Servania had its own currency and it was called Dele. Seiko had checked the room and he had only 7000 Dele. It was enough money to last him two months on basic supply but not enough for him to heal himself.
"This are not injuries he got from accident. This guy or now me is getting bullied quite bad."
The were number of bruises on his leg. If it was an accident than the academy would have treated him but since he was bullied, he could only hide his wounds and wait for it to heal. Yes, he could complain but what bully would beat someone if they knew they would get heavily punished even if they were caught.
" He is probably being bullied by a noble."
Servania had the noble and commoner system. 80% of the worlds population was filled by commoners but in the academy 90% of the students were from the noble family. The academy wanted talent so it would not distinguish between commoner and noble but the academy's fees were too high and there was no way a commoner could beat a noble who has been trained from his birth and is drowned in buff potions.
Levi rank was also 1000 among his 3000 peers in the first year. He was not the weakest among them but was the weakest in the class. The other reason he could be bullied was because of his charms.
Levi is a handsome dude. His red eyes, now with the mix of gray and red made him look mystical. There was a scar along his left eye but it made him look like a warrior who had returned from a battlefield. His pale skin made him look like a vampire from fairy tales.
" If he had some backup then they would have called him handsome and been all over him but since he is a commoner his beauty is like a prickling thorn to their eyes."
Seiko had the same treatment in his school years. Boys would always try to mock him and girls would use their family's influence and force him but Seiko quickly showed them their place and their attitude changed immediately.
"Well, I will deal with the bully problem some other time. First I need to find a way to heal myself and increase my strength."
He then closed his eye and scanned through the paper that the God imprinted in his brain. There were three things that the God had written.
[
If you are reading this then I hope you transmigrated into at least someone useful. I could not provide you the powers at the start so as an apology I will provide you some techniques that might help you in your journey.
1 Secret to Getting Essence.
---> In the Game if you wanted [Essence] then you would have to master an art but that was just a mechanic in the game. In reality you can develop your focus and manifest it to such a level that you can use it anytime you want on any technique.
]
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"Well, the first advice was a bust."
Seiko could already do that. He was probably doing it back in Earth as well....just subconsciously. He then kept on reading the advices.
"He must have hand written this stuff. For a magical god his handwriting is pretty shit."
[
2. There is a certain skill that is hidden in the academy's library that was not in the game. It is hidden inside a green colour book with blue linings and the title in gold colour. Find it before someone else does.
3. The Pure Mana Cultivation.
---> It is one of the best methods to cultivate your mana. The technique will help you gather only 'pure' mana so it is not a technique that could be used for mana regeneration. Use increase your mana capacity and will also slowly heal your injuries.
]
The God then had listed the technique on how to perform the cultivation.
[
4. Smoke mana cigarettes
---> I know smoking is bad but listen or believe in this method.You won'f find this cigarette in any market so you need to create it on your own. I will leave a recipe for it. This technique will provide 'pure' mana you will need. DO NOT teach this technique to anybody else.
]
Seiko read the recipe. It looked as if one of your friends had taught you to roll a weed for the first time. He needed two things to create the mana cigarettes. A mana stone and a piece of paper. The mana stone needed to be turned to dust and he should smoke only once a day increasing the dose little by little and if he could find good mana stone for the cigarettes.
" I never imagined a day would come where smoking would actually make you stronger."
Seiko looked at the clock on his wall and it was 7 pm. He then sat cross legged and started doing the Pure Mana Cultivation. At first he could not get a hang of it but slowly he knew what to do.
"Take deep breaths and imagine lights around you and then only breath in the white lights leaving the other behind."
Seiko said to himself as he focused on meditating. After a while he could fully focus on his cultivation.
[
-One Focus activated.
[Essence] will now move inside your lungs and your surrounding. Will increase the amount of pure mana absorbed. Will improve your lung capacity and mana capacity. Mana regeneration will be faster.
]
Seiko's trait activated and he was gaining a lot much because of the [Essence]. He was unaware of this as his eyes were closed but he could hear the sound of the game panel tinging which he ignored.
******
After one hour, he stopped meditating. It was because a fly entered his nose and obstructed him.
"This G rank luck almost killed me."
He then checked his stats and saw tremendous growth in his mana and health bar.
[
Health:317/352
Mana Capacity: 300/300
]
His health and mana had increased and even his their capacity had also increased by a lot. His mana was full and he could 'feel' less pain in his legs. He looked at the clock and it was still 8pm. He would not sleep now so he decided to go to the library and get the skill.
He just opened the closet and took out a track suit, wore it and headed out.
******
Seiko made his way to the library and he was 'impressed' by the library's architecture. He showed his id to the librarian and started searching for the book. He looked at every section of the library but there were billions of books so it was difficult for him to find it and the book could have already been borrowed by some one else.
The library was practically empty at this time so Seiko was just breaking the library rules and running around the library.
"This might be the time to test my Hunter Eye skill."
He activated his skill and soon his vision expanded. He vision expanded to 1 km and a single unit of mana was consumed for ever ten seconds of usage. It was a really good skill for an archer and right now finding the book.
Seiko was so focused on finding the book that his trait 'One Focus' again produced [Essence] which came in clutch. It heightened his intuition and his body move to the place where he could find the book.
"There it is."
He could see a book with green cover and blue linings and a bit of gold writings on the side. He rushed to the book and reached out his hand.
'Got it.'
His hand was about to reach the book, when another person pulled the book.
' I was so close.'
The person holding the book looked at Seiko. They knew that he had rushed all this way to get this book. Seiko looked at the person and recognized her. How wouldn't he, after all she was one of the ten heroes, Irene Toxotai.
Her blue hair and blue eyes light up the room. She was as the same height as Seiko now in the body of Levi. If a word could describe her than the word would be simply 'magical.' The aura around her seemed to sooth a person. Her serene face would have melted a lot of boys heart and if she smiled at a boy then they would consider that the best moment of their life.
Irene observed the guy in front of her.
' I am sure, I have seen him somewhere before.'
"Umm..Excuse me. Are you going to read that book?"
Levi said in a shy voice as he lowered his voice. He was just acting and trying to fit in a character of shy person.
" If I took the book means I am going to read it. Are you too dumb to not know that?"
Her reply was as cold as an ice. Even though Levi had asked a stupid question, there was no need for her to go at him like this.
"Ohh...I am sorry. Can I just look at the book for once?"
"No!"
Outright rejection. Levi knew her character and she was always like this. She did not like to initiate a conversation with stranger and tried to stay away from people in general. She also had a sharp tongue and would easily get annoyed.
"I will only look at the contents so please."
Levi had to look at the book otherwise, the skill might slip from his hand. Irene was now annoyed.
"Do you not understand the meaning of no?"
Irene said and she turned around.
" Please just once."
Levi pleaded again. Him talking annoyed Irene so much that she turned around and threw a book right at his him. The book flew and hit him in his face.
"Arghh."
Levi grunted to make it seem he felt ' pain'. Irene then walked towards him and put her finger on his forehead.
"You mongrel! Take the book and get away from my face."
Levi took the picked up the book from the ground and ran away. Irene watched him and shook her head.
"At least try to fight back if you are a man. I really wonder why losers like him are allowed to enter the academy."
