"Rodrigo… wake up!!!! How long are you gonna sleep????? You have your 1st day of high school today. Just wake up already. I put your breakfast on the table, make sure you eat it and then go to school. I am already late for my work. I am leaving, lock the door when you leave"
— "yes mom"
That's everyday life for me. Oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself, I am Rodrigo, since I am a commoner i don't have any surname or family name, but i was once called Rohit Roy,
One day when I was on a mission to eliminate some terrorists in Kashmir, I died. I was an officer rank soldier in the Indian military. I don't have much to regret because I lived a very satisfied life.
But then I opened my eyes and I became a baby.. And what's more surprising is that this is not even earth or the world I came from, this is called Solantra…
However I spent 15 years of my life, and today is the day I am enrolling in the Velgroth Academy as a mage. So anyway I have to get ready since I cannot be late on the very first day of my school.
Velgroth is a mountain area. The roads are muddy, and to get to the academy you have to walk around 50 minutes from my house.
"What's your name?", asked the academy guard.
"Rodrigo, here this is my admission letter", I handed a thick brownish paper to the academy guard and then I entered the academy.
"Welcome all the new students at the Velgroth Academy, I am the principal of this school and a class 4 mage, and before becoming the principal I was a gold ranked hunter. So enough about my introduction, we may be from the outskirts of the nation, but we have produced many talented individuals, whether they are mages or swordsmans, so be prepared to give your best, because we will expect many things from you in the future."
After the introductory speech, the principal left the ground, and everyone started to talk with each other, making new friends or forming a group.
"Well maybe I am from a poor family even from the commoners perspective, not many people interacted with me
"Umm, Hello I am Veldora, I am also a commoner and trying to become a mage"
—"Hi, I am Rodrigo and I am also attending the academy to become a mage. Let's go to the first class. We will be taking the same class with the swordsmans in the first year right?"
"Not exactly that we will be taking all the classes together, there are some specific subjects that only each department is going to take, like mages have 'Basic Understanding of Runes And Magic Circles', that we the swordsmen don't have, also the 'Basic Swordsmanship' is something that only we, the swordsmen department have."
—"So who are you? Could you introduce yourself?", I asked the boy.
"Oh, sorry i forgot to introduce myself, i am Mark Fellix, and i am from a knight family, and i will be taking the swordsmanship class."
After that we talked with each other for a while and then we went to our first class.
"Hello everyone, I am Emilia Tholams, your home room teacher. Please introduce everyone."
After everyone was introduced one by one, the teacher started the lecture. She was taking the 'History of The Empire'.
"Welcome, everyone, to your first lecture at the Academy.
In our mythology, before the creation of the cosmos, in the divine realm we call Zephyra, there existed two types of gods: those who wielded the power of light, and those who commanded the power of darkness.
There was constant conflict between the two factions. Eventually, the disputes escalated into an all-out war — The War of Twilight. This war raged on for many centuries, yet neither side emerged victorious.
Tired of endless fighting, the gods agreed to end the war by placing a bet. They would create a world that contained both light and darkness. The gods of light would grant power to mortal beings, while the gods of darkness would create creatures to oppose them — beings designed specifically to bring harm to the mortals blessed by the gods of light.
And so began the great game of the gods — a cosmic balance between good and evil. Light empowered humanity, while darkness empowered monsters.
But after many centuries of struggle, something unexpected happened. Humanity evolved. They began to manifest powers that were not bestowed by the gods — powers we now know as mana and aura.
This changed everything.
Where once there were only two forces — light and darkness — a third force emerged: human-born power. The world was no longer binary. It became divided into three:
The monsters, corrupted beings empowered by darkness.
The Holy Nation, composed of those who channeled the power of light.
And the Neutral People, those who neither followed the light nor embraced the darkness, but instead forged their own path using mana and aura.
Over time, the land fractured into many nations. The Holy Nation, once supreme due to divine favor, began to decline as more and more people discovered their own inner power. As the influence of these independent powers grew, many gods — both of light and darkness — began to lose interest in the mortal world. With their withdrawal, the strength of both the Holy Nation and the monsters waned.
Eventually, it was humanity — those with mana and aura — who rose to dominance. But with power came greed. Wars broke out — not between gods, not between monsters and men — but among the humans themselves. Kingdoms fell. Borders were redrawn. The world was carved into countless nations.
And among these nations, our homeland Selvaron was born.
That concludes today's introduction. Since this is your first day at the academy, how about we take a tour of the campus? Starting tomorrow, your formal classes will begin.
Welcome once again — the age of knowledge, power, and discovery begins now."
After that we wandered the campus and then returned home. That's how our first day of the academy was concluded.
