Chapter 2 - First steps

The morning sun comes out slowly, showing its warm lights. A trail of sunray entered through the cracks of the window. Awaking a very beautiful women, his features are delicate like a glass flower, but the surrounding room showed a different scene.

Sword hanged beside her bed, a heavy duty iron plate armor perched on top of the wardrobe, and those rapier that she just decisively bought for a new experience.

"Yawn~" With a relaxed cold face he gets up from the bed, opening her window wide while still wearing her nightgown her messy appearance didn't shatter one bit of her beauty

"Morning sun~" she said in a sultry voice, basking in the warm sunlight while combing through her long unkept brown hair. Her eye suddenly stared at a particular scene.

A black haired boy is walking around the park, jogging around and clad in weird attire of black and red scarf. It's still early in the morning, and while many people didn't come out of their bed around this time. The body strangely already done around 3 laps and still keep going strong.

Res didn't realize someone is examining his exercise, all he knew is he needed to get ou of this academy. 'Damn you heavens, why did you put me in a weak body,' Res thought as he feels his legs are burning while trying not to gasp like a horse.

Although on the outside Res is trying to keep his cool and expressionless face, he can't maintained it for long while exercising. Afraid of meeting any of his predecessor acquaintance Res decided to exercise early in the morning is the best, beside getting a workout he can use this time to planned the next step.

'Information, fucks i need information.' Res stopped his jog when the burnungfeeling on his legs started to getting stronger. He is tired and exhausted but his mind is already plotting for what he's gonna do for the rest of the day, class didn't seem important for now.

'I can always leave attendance and leave the class, i need to go to the library for now.'

———

Truth to his words Res didn't enter any class, he didn't even set foot around the class perimeters. To reach other peaks people who is cultivating usually can traversed it quickly maybe taking around 10 to 20 minutes. But Res isn't a cultivator, he is on the weaker side of the spectrum. Instead he paid 6 credit to use the cable.

The journey is smooth, while inside, he can see the vast complex of the academy. It is a marve of both architecture and engineering, each building is designed with an integrated part like they fused into the peak itself. The style themselves is a blend of a modified western theme in Res previous world.

'The academy itself is so big... I wonder how big is the outside world.' Seeing the vast area of the academy Res can't help but imagined himself roaming around the world and seeing this planet... Well he assumed this world is in a planet. Regardless of that, seeing many wildlife documentation sure change some perspective in his life.

[Ding!]

A bell ring as the cable itself stop moving. Res has arrived in his destination. The 5th peak! The Sunlin Peak! Stepping outside the place in front of him didn't even look like he is in a real world, it feels like it's a scenery in a dream. Covered in thin mist, the spacious square now looks like it's part of another world. But more importantly the building in front of him.

Carved into the cave system of this peak the outdoor entrance feels like he will entered a secret lair of gold. The interior is vast with high ceilings and massive tower, here a gu beast is used as a lighting. The flooring and walls are made of thick dark colored wood that both is very durable and hard to break.

Res pick one section of the shelf, it says "general knowledge and information." 'jackpot.' he thought and immediately pick a number of books that he think can help building his common sense.

"Cultivation For Dummies." "Geography 101." "Basic Technique of Cultivation." That's the three book Res decided to bring with him. Picking a nice spot on the corner of the library he started to opened the book one by one. Luckyfor him he can understand the language and able to read and write with the language used on the book.

He flipped through the pages, absorbing the information one by one, and most of it is simple surface level knowledge. Like what is this world geography.

This world is called Rumia and it has three major continent. The Northern continent, the Southern continent, and the Central Continent. Right now he is in the imperial sun kingdom territory on the northern hemisphere landmasses.

This Academy is one of the three top academy in the world, the other two is located on the central and southern continent. Moreover, in this world that is totally different than his previous world there exist cultivation.

Transcendence power that lets people roaming around the planet without much care, making everyone else beneath them. Sect, clan, even alliance are made.

[Ding!]

The bell sound ringing loudly. The sun had turn it's warm yellow collor into more dimmer orange. It has been 3 hours since Res entered the librey and he didn't even realize how much time had passed.

The next step is clear for Res now. 'I need to gain power, not only that i have to get out of this academy as fast as possible. Staying here for now is inevitable but as soon as i get the money i will dropped out.' he thought already making up his short an dlong time goals.

As the winds breeze through his face, Res can't help but grinning his mouth, this new world is truly awesome. 'i looked forward to it. Watch me heavens.'

Other student started to scramble, flying towards their own dormitories, but amidst that, Res heart is drumming like a horse galloping. Excitement. Excitement is the only thing he can feel right now.
