"Let's get out of this water system. They'll be opening the floodgates soon, so we should start moving," she said, looking at me.
As she spoke, her form gradually shifted back to that of a normal human.
She started walking forward, but as I attempted to stand up, I realized my legs were completely numb and unresponsive.
"Uh… Lris, can you carry me out of here?" I asked with an awkward smile.
She glanced at my legs, then nodded.
"Fine. But when we're in the human world, call me Celestia instead of Lris," she said.
Without hesitation, she lifted me onto her back, carrying me out of the underground water system.
After about ten minutes of climbing flights of stairs, we finally emerged from the tunnels.
Sniff!
"Aaah… fresh air! It feels so good to see the sunlight again," I said, gazing up at the sky.
"I guess you really like the light," she commented, glancing at me.
"I mean, who wouldn't? It's one of the greatest things to experience."
Especially in the old world, where pollution had blocked out the sky for years. Seeing the sun in clear view felt almost surreal.
"By the way, how are you planning to enter the academy? Unlike me, you're not mostly human," I asked.
She smirked, tapping the pendant around her neck.
"I have my necklace. It allows me to transform into different creatures."
"It even changes your genetics?"
"Yes."
"Wow..." I muttered, genuinely impressed.
An artifact like this had to be from the Age of Gods something powerful enough to alter biology itself.
Yet another item that hadn't appeared in the game.
After that, I told her to take me back to the inn where I was staying so I could collect my belongings.
Once I had gathered my things, we headed straight to the train station.
During the ride back to the academy, neither of us spoke much. I was exhausted and ended up dozing off into a dreamless sleep.
------------
"In ten minutes, we will be arriving at Solhaven."
The AI's voice echoed through the train.
"Victor, get up." Celestia poked At my arm.
Poke!
"Ugh... I know, I know. I'm getting up," I groaned, still half-asleep.
After napping for most of the journey and after Celestia had carried me all the way to the train station my legs felt much better.
"Do you still need me to carry you?" she asked with a smirk.
"Nah, I should be fine now."
As I walked back toward the academy, my mind was already racing with thoughts.
I needed to get stronger.
The only way I'd survive in this world this game was by increasing my power.
Celestia had gone off to take the entrance exam to determine her class ranking, leaving me to return to the dorm alone.
Before heading back, I checked the testing procedures for Normal student Of the academy.
It looked exactly the same as when I went through it.
The academy's detection sphere still recognized me as fully human a relief, though not surprising, As I still Have 51% Human.
This place was corrupt to the core.
Powerful families bought class spots for their children under the guise of "charity donations." There were nobles who barely had a fraction of the skill required to be here, yet they occupied high ranking seats due to their family names.
I needed to build some sort of intelligence network.
Right now, I didn't have enough information to act efficiently.
If I wanted to obtain certain artifacts, I needed to stay ahead of the game.
As My Game knowledge is Outdated After all My 200 year into The future.
All these thoughts swirled in my mind as I reached my dorm room.
"I'll deal with all of this later. For now, I need some sleep," I muttered.
I collapsed onto the bed, letting exhaustion take over.
As I lay under the blankets, I pulled up my status screen to analyze what I had gained so far.
[Status Window]
Name: Victor Von HendrickTitle: ???Race: Human (51%) / Demon (49%)Class: MageTalent Grade: (9-Star High)Current Mage Rank: 1-Star (Mid)
Stats:
Strength: 5
Stamina: 10
Durability: 20
Mana: 30
Intelligence: S+
Affinity: Light/Dark (Unstable)
Curses (3):
Cycle of Equal Exchange, Curse of Arrogance, Curse of Corruption
Blessings (3): Blessing of Peach of Immortality's Essence, Blessing of Demonic Knowledge, Blessing of the Mirage of a Thousand
I scanned through the status screen carefully.
'Title? That hadn't existed in the game's status screen before'.
It also seemed like my previous Blessing of the Screen had been overwritten by the Blessing of Demonic Knowledge.
[Blessing of Demonic Knowledge: You possess the eyes and wisdom of 10,000 demons, Your vision allows you to see hidden truths past, present, and future, Your knowledge is infinite and without limits.]
I frowned.
The description was too vague.
If my knowledge was truly infinite, I wouldn't feel as clueless as I did right now. Still, it was an incredible ability to have.
[Blessing of Peach of Immortality's Essence: You have attained low-tier immortality. Your life force is eternal, and your healing is as fast as the currents in the ocean.]
So, I had weak immortality. Not true immortality, but enough to give me an edge in battle.
[Blessing of the Mirage of a Thousand: A thousand faces, a world of fear and illusions. The more fear you invoke, the stronger you become.]
Ah.
This must have been the same ability that Mephistopheles used inside his domain.
'It was definitely going to be useful.'
As for the curses, there were no descriptions available for them.
Regardless, these abilities were far more powerful than I had expected.
"Since I'm technically a demon now, do I have a true form?"
That was a question for another day.
For now, I needed to rest.
I buried myself under the covers, letting fatigue take over.
For the next three days, I did nothing but eat, sleep, and recover until the Academy Entrance Ceremony finally arrived.
