After Arthur done the necessary setup it start to feel that it had been fed with source of energy or rather nutritious. 

... 

After 8 months later while Arthur is still in 'energy saving mode' trying to summerise the current situation. It, or now him (because of gender) had been wake up by unknown force pushing him away for source of the nutritious. 

He come out of the 'hole' and the air nearby start to feel uncomfortable. Then he can feel that the pipe or wire that feed him has been cut and he doesn't feel it any more.

His eye can not lift up and body can barely move but his ear still be able to hear a thing. His lung still weak and can barely breathe. 

He heard some language that doesn't recorded in the current archive. So he start to record it and try to translate it in the meantime.

He try to scan the surrounding area but the eyes lid can not be lift up and body is barely move. So he focus on the language instead. 

After sometime, Arthur is now be able to recognise some of the word but not enough to made a full understanding of it.

...

After 1 year old, Arthur now crawling to the bookshelf. One thing that he find out is that this place is really under the standard development. And one thing that different from the earth is they have something that call megic help them is the daily life. Now he is be able to understand all the basic word that he listened and he's trying to read a book to understand the alphabet of this place.

His mother's breastfeeding is barely enough because of his 'program' require a lot of energy to operate but he can't do anything about it except go energy saving mode and he still need to grow his own teeth in order to receive other type of nutritious. 

His mother seem to be a mage, so his father. They often wear the clothes that old medieval wear. They always find out that Arthur always crawl to the bookshelf and try to read it. They seem to find it awkward because he is too young for that and always told him to stop it hope that he will stop until he is grown enough, but he doesn't care and always do the same thing everytime they let their guard down.

He can feel every part of his body and can even control it to some extent like his growth rate and so on.

??? : Arthur what are you doing here. Stop reading those book you are not grown enough yet. 

Arthur heard his mother's voice from behind but ignore it and keep reading until his mother seperate him and the book away. He now learn some alphabet but he still have a long way to learn all the sentences that read in it.

His mother bring him outside the house or rather mansion. Because he cannot leave his room because of so called 'door' block him from his freedom.

This is the first time that he be able to get outside the mansion. The surrounding area is seem to be forest, he is now moving to the carriage which considered beautiful for medieval fork. But for him any carriage should do.

He is at the window of the carriage while it is moving to somewhere he doesn't know. All he can see is forest, neutral wildlife, and some bandit lay low waiting for an ambush.

Bandit1 : drop all you wea-

Boom!! 

Poor victim of the day has been killed by my mother's fireball. What a foolish decision, you must know your power and the enemy's power first in order to achieve the victory. If you are that much desperate you should rob the village instead. 

Bandit2 : we can outnumber yo-

Boom!! 

Bandit3 : you can't kill us all we hav-

Boom!! 

Second, third, forth and so on keep falling into abyss by his mother. He found it to be quite enjoyful somehow. 

Then we coutinue our journey to where I don't even know. We arrive at the church. His mother bring him in side to find the priest. He chant the word that he never heard of. He record all of it  and suddenly he heard a sound.....

He found the system inside him and try to find solution for it. 

He found the same case back on earth but only in the old novel where the main character is the chosen one or got killed by accident or isekai to the world that run along with system. 

And now he is trying to communicate with the system but never get any feedback from it. But at least he know that he can open and close the interface at anytime. 

When he got home he now crawling toward the bookshelf without any delay or any hesitation to find the way to learn the meaning of those chant and try to use it later on when he can speak properly.

English's my second language so I must apology for my grammar mistakes.

After I found out that what we are currently learning is spellcasting and not magic I was surprised. It wasn't explicitly mentioned anywhere, but I was able to build a theory from all the scraps of information I had found until Sunday night.
Now while lying in bed, I started to organize all the information gathered so far.
Magic is not spellcasting, but spellcasting is magic.
Spellcasting is an easier version of magic.
Magic consists of many things and thus branched into many fields. However, all magic is cast mostly in the same way, by channeling magic. 
At least 30% of the magic process is always channeling magic. Other parts can differ greatly depending on the branch of magic being used. 
Wands are actually unneeded tools created to make using magic easier. 
It is not much, but that is enough to topple my understanding of the world. My knowledge was based solely on films and I knew that it wasn't accurate, but not that much!
Apparently, magic wands are a European instrument for channeling magic that became vastly popular in America, because it makes channeling of magic easier and faster. However, other continents and regions don't consider wands mandatory part of wizard equipment. 
I pieced it out from wand making books and some history books, where wizards from Japan and China were mentioned. It was never specified that they did not use wands, but from the description of some of their actions I understood simple truth, they used hands to do magic. 
That made me remember, that Dumbledore did not use any words as well after sorting ceremony to call music or other magical stuff, so chanting spells is unneeded to do magic. That got me thinking about why we are using wands or chant words if we can use magic just via hands, silently.
That led to me reading the book of charms for the first year and in actuality, it does not explain one bit how to do magic or how it works! However, it explains how to cast some specific spells by spelling out Latin words and doing specific gestures with wands. 
At that point, I understood, that I needed to practice and experiment with spells, but I was too tired to go out of bed and looking for stuff to experiment with or place where I can do so safely. Moreover, it was very late, so I needed to go to sleep because tomorrow a new study week is starting. 
That's when I thought about the spells menu.
'Spellbook'
Then I focused on the only spell in it. 
'Tutorial'
[Please follow all the instructions shown. After the system is sure that you can successfully repeat spell for 10 times, the tutorial will be deemed complete. The tutorial will start shortly.]
〖 Tutorial〗
〖 Repeat gestures shown before your eyes and says 'Incendio'〗
I saw kind of hologram of a hand with wand doing some gestures, moving in a specific way and directions and words 'Incendio' were said during these movements. Words started with movements and ended with them as well.
After that, the wand spits fire from the tip.
I tried time and time again while paying attention to my feelings, body, and wand in my hands. At first, I haven't felt anything but as time passed. I was doing better with the spell and even succeeded once to cast it… by luck. But anyway! Soon, I noticed that if I do move correctly and follow with words, my spell is cast successfully, however, if do a mistake right at the last moment I feel slight discomfort inside my body. 
That is not solid proof, but my theory so far is that spellcasting makes the process of magic simpler. Rather than consciously controlling magic, your precise gestures and words have the same effect. And wands make that process so much easier by simplifying channeling of magic. 
Basically, you have no idea how magic actually works when you do it. Thus, you just know how to cast a spell and nothing more. This is why I call it spellcasting for now. I have not found any official terminology for that. Learning pure magic without wands is indeed harder. I am studying topic with system abilities, for 2 days straight with an adult mentality and I barely scratched the surface, while following some commands I was able to nearly master casting of one spell in a span of… an hour? Maximum hour and a half. 
After thinking, theorizing and practicing spell for a very long time, it was around midnight. That is when I received another notification.
『  Magic Theory 6 ➔ 7 』
Then I noticed how late it is and decided that it's time to sleep.
*Morning, next day*
Breakfast went calm and Gryffindor was informed of their flying lesson in the coming Thursday. Well, not that it matters to me. I was still engrossed in understanding how magic works. 
I decided for myself, that I can't let myself fail and need to concentrate on subjects at hand and then go into personal researches. Otherwise, fail will be my only result. 
I concentrated on my studies and finishing all the books of the first-year program. And compared to books I read before, I was not reading them for skills or research. I was really studying and memorizing them to pass exams with ease. That meant I spend more time on each book and have to reread them to further memorize the content. 
As a result of me, having a clear goal, time was passing horrendously fast. Sometimes, I wished to have more time in a day. I was getting notifications left and right, while studying, but I mostly ignored them, because there was only herbology skill with new abilities, while other new skills needed to reach a minimum of 15 to grant an ability. As for upgrades I needed to reach 25 or 30 in corresponding skills.
Thanks to rigorous training, by Wednesday evening I got to level 5.
『  Level 4 ➔ 5 』
I have put a point into Magicka once more and decided to check what progress I reached in my skills and if there were new abilities opened. After all, so far I gained access only to tier-one abilities in these skill trees.
Let's see my progress in these 3 days.
'System show me how much my skills changed since Sunday. Show only those that changed please.'
[Okay. Information is being gathered… Done. Here it is.]
『  Studying 18 ➔ 20 』
『  Herbology 16 ➔ 18 』
『  Alchemy 17 ➔ 19 』
『  Magic Chanting 1 ➔ 5 』
『  Magic Gesturing 1 ➔ 5 』
『  Astronomy 15 ➔ 18 』
Wow. That is good progress. I even found a new skill, astronomy. And reached the 20th level in Studying. Will I get advanced tier 2 skill? Let's see.
'Skills progress'
〖 Skills〗
I looked at the studying constellation and saw 2 new bright stars connected by dim lines to the first star in the constellation corresponding to ability 'Remarkable Comprehension'.
I focused on one of the new stars.
〖 Fast reading 0/2〗
〖 You read books very fast, close to what subvocalization limit is without losing comprehension. 
Note: Comprehension here is not information comprehension, but a comprehension of words you've read.〗
'Um… system what subvocalization means?'
[Most people when read pronounce words inside their mind, which slows their reading speed substantially but increases comprehension due to double intake of information.]
'So what is subvocalization limit?'
[It is limit at how fast a person can read while still using habit of reading aloud in mind. It is close to 600 wpm. 'WPM' means words per minute, by the way.]
'And what limits are without subvocalizations?'
[Speed of reading is equal to the speed of thinking. So technically limited only by your brain capabilities, but practically around 10000 wpm, while still having partly comprehension.]
'Wow. The skill has an upgrade, so does it mean after upgrading I can get rid of the subvocalization?'
[That is…]
'No need to hide this information, because it is pretty obvious anyway.'
[Still, what skill provides in its upgraded version you will find out after achieving qualification for upgrading.]
'Che… Whatever. Not like I care. Anyway, what is the second skill.'
〖 Better memory 0/3 〗
〖 Improves your memory in both memorizing and recalling capabilities.〗
'Interesting. Astronomy and herbology skills left, but I bet after these abilities they would look subpar but doesn't matter. I will still take a look.'
I continued inspecting my skills.
As I thought, after checking abilities from Astronomy and Herbology, I understood that they were amazing, but useless to me currently. Therefore, I ignored them for now and decided to get 2 abilities from studying skills.
But before that.
'Save progress'
〖 Save〗
Now I can get abilities.
〖 Better memory 1/3 (45)〗
〖 Fast Reading 1/2 (65)〗
By the way, it is insane that to improve fast reading ability I need to reach 65 in studying. The heck?
Anyway, Wednesday is finished. Tomorrow will be a long day, especially with learning how to use brooms. I have magicka at 4 currently so I should be okay with broom controlling… Hopefully.
Now, it's time to sleep.  

Seems like the time has come for another party to begin. Let's hope this one will be a success. World - Potterian. Person - random.

Met truck-kun. Obviously died. Nobody survives after fateful meeting with him.
Afterwards, I was reborn in the different world with the system from my favorite game! However, there was a catch - I had negligible amount of knowledge about this universe.

I open my eyes and see [You were caught during unauthorized entrance into a magic academy!] 
"Oh cmon... System, do you really need do this every time? Now... what will I do?"

"..."

Her face started to change after she finished the drink. The reaction came fast and furious, and she clenched her rumbling tummy in agony.
"Now, get lost!"
Still feeling upset, Qin Zhou gave her a kick.
The assistant hurriedly scrambled away with him at her back.
Yun Shishi stole a glance at her manager and could not help taking a dig at him. "Boss, I didn't realize that you could also be a bad judge of character!"
He was known to be sharp and shrewd in reading people, and it was least expected to find a bad apple in his team.
He cleared his throat in embarrassment and quickly switched the topic. "Have you gotten over your jet lag by now?"
"It's manageable."
In her heart, though, she knew overcoming jet lag would not be that easy.
"Are you still feeling terrible?"
Cocking an eyebrow, she replied, "Of course! How is it possible to recover so fast?"
"I didn't expect this to happen. I didn't manage my team well. Sorry…" he apologized, feeling remorseful.
She had a wry look. "It's alright. You don't want this to happen, either."
"You take a good rest now; you'll need to go for your makeup later. Recording will start in the afternoon. Can you take it? If not, I'll reach out to the program team to postpone the recording."
She shook her head. "I'm fine! It's not that serious."
"That's good!"
He nodded, comforted by the knowledge.
Gu Xingze had experienced a similar attack in the past.
During one of his concerts, he was backstage when an anti-fan passed him a bottle laced with super glue. He was very trusting toward his fans, so he took a gulp without hesitation. Stomach upset immediately preceded and he subsequently passed out.
He woke up while on the way to the hospital and threw out blood a few times. Qin Zhou, who was by his side, went aghast with fear. His agent did not know what was the drink spiked with and thought that it was poison at first. Finally, the hospital traced the cause to the super glue found in the drink, which had burned his respiratory and digestive tracts. The actor only managed to recover after a stomach washout.
However, it was a grave disruption to his work as he had to rest for about two months before he was considered well enough to return to his post.
That incident caused quite the stir at the time.
The irony was that, under the immense pressure of the public, the victim had to request for leniency on behalf of the underaged perpetrator.
The superstar was a public figure, after all, and had to be seen as forgiving and magnanimous.
Of course, the agent was incensed at that time. If it had not been for the fact that the anti-fan was a mere teenager, he would have sent his men to teach him a lesson!
The doctor said that the repercussion would have been worse if the actor had reached the hospital any later!
The superstar had sequelae, where he was constantly troubled by severe gastritis and had to be put on long-term medication, afterward.
This incident had also cast a profound, dark shadow over Qin Zhou's mind.
He was deeply remorseful at one point.
Even though his charge was a public figure, and such negative events would repeat despite his best efforts, he was still ridden with guilt when he could not properly protect his artists.
In the end, the superstar had to turn around to console and reassure him that this incident was, in no part, due to his negligence.
The star himself had not stayed vigilant and had accepted a drink from a stranger without hesitation.
The manager continued to be troubled by this matter, though.
Hence, what Yun Shishi had encountered set off alarm bells in his head.
It appeared that he needed to reshuffle his team!
If not, such a thing would happen again!
He would not allow his present charge to be harmed the second time around.
…
The production team sent a message, asking the actress to get ready to do her makeup.
Gu Xingze's flight would land at the airport at 5 PM, and the program would start recording from the moment of his touchdown.


She became a surrogate mother in exchange for over a million yuan.

As the esteemed CEO of the most powerful Empire in the capital, he holds absolute power, while she is just an adopted daughter to a family of lowly status. She agreed to bear him his offspring, simply because her adoptive father's business was failing.
 
On the day of her delivery, the elder brother was born healthy, but the younger one was stillborn. Having fulfilled the contract, she disappeared from his sight along with the astronomical sum of money. 


Six years later, he is still that arrogant and high-profile CEO. When she accidentally gets embroiled with him again – like a canary trapped in his cage, he closes in on her. “Woman, do you think you can escape from my clutches?!" 

However, he does not expect a little kid to interfere; the boy pompously points his little finger at him and warns, “Mu Yazhe, you’d better leave her alone! She's mine – this baby's woman!” 

The man is alarmed, simply because the little kid's facial features are identical to his...

Six was so good at this that Claire would say he had a lot of experience but that was impossible since he didn't know anything about smartphones before today. Which meant he was incredibly quick on the uptake. 
She already knew he was fast from his rescue in the park the other day. But understanding the rules and strategy of the game with so little instruction made her realize he was actually rather brilliant. 
He seemed dumb a lot of the time because he didn't know how things worked but that obviously wasn't the case. He simply lacked the opportunity to learn. 
Had he ever gone to school or been tutored in the agency? He obviously knew how to read but that didn't necessarily mean he had a formal education. She wanted to ask but was afraid of breaking his concentration in case it pissed him off. 
Pushing her curiosity aside, Claire decided to play a game herself. It had been a while since she tried knocking out any levels on Angry Birds. She might get lucky this time and actually pass one of the ones she had been stuck on. 
The two of them sat on the couch in silence for a while but at least it was no longer awkward since they were both doing something. Showing him Bejeweled had been an excellent idea. 
About an hour later Six looked over at her and announced that he had beaten all of the default high scores. She had given up on playing Angry Birds ages ago and had switched to reading manhwa on her phone.
"Do you want to play something else now?" Claire asked, not even surprised at this point. 
"Yes. What should I play?"
She set her phone down. Angry Birds was a lot harder than Bejeweled and had hundreds of levels. That ought to keep him occupied for a while. She downloaded it for him and told him not to buy any of the offered boosters because they weren't worth it. 
Six nodded very seriously and thanked her before becoming engrossed in his phone yet again. Claire returned to her comic and they resumed their companionable silence from before. 
It seemed that he really liked phone games. Maybe that was all she had to do to keep him entertained for the rest of the time she was stuck with him without expending any real effort. That would be helpful since she frequently felt like she was walking on thin ice. 
=== 
Jared Walker, also known as Raven, was not happy with the latest turn of events. Five agents—skilled hitmen with high kill counts—had gone missing after trying to go after Claire Conway. 
It couldn't be a coincidence that Six went missing at the same time. A girl that frail wouldn't be able to protect herself without some sort of outside assistance and he was the most likely suspect. 
He had been told to report in for retraining and never showed up. Weapons and false identity documents went missing and no one had seen him since. Or at least lived to tell the tale. 
This didn't make sense. Six was their top agent; the most successful of the numbered children experiment. He had been the only one who never required any retraining until his disappearance. 
The premise behind the program had been simple. Take in young children, condition them into perfect human weapons, and isolate them from the outside world so they would never question what they had been taught. 
The Numbers grew up being indoctrinated with the idea that they were better than everyone else and that the outside world was meant for the weak. They were the strong with a noble mission to carry out. 
It was basically brainwashing but so what? The Numbers were far more effective hitmen than the agents who were able to come and go as they pleased. 
Jared had been involved in the program since the beginning. He was a young man when they found the baby that ended up being known as One. Unfortunately, the indoctrination didn't go as well as they had hoped and over time One grew rebellious. 
This was before they had a retraining program so there wasn't much they could do. One ran away and never returned. No one in the Agency even knew if he was still alive. 
Not wanting to make the same mistakes with Two when she became a rebellious teenager, she was used in the beta test of the retraining program. But there were certain mental side effects from the beta test, such as focus issues, and that resulted in her death on a mission. 
That had been an unfortunate loss. But by the time Three was old enough to need retraining, the bugs had all been worked out. There hadn't been any problems with it since. 
Jared knew at this point it would probably be better to kill Six than drag him back kicking and screaming for retraining but he didn't want to lose another Number. They were already short on agents because of the five he had most likely killed. 
What was is about Claire Conway that caused him to abandon his training anyway? She might not have been their usual kind of target but it wasn't as if she was anything special. 
He wondered if it was because they were around the same age. Six tended to be given targets that were much older than him. He may have gotten curious but that shouldn't have been possible due to his training. 
The program trained the humanity out of the Numbers. They had sharper senses and higher endurance than people should be capable of. They did not experience regular emotions. They were stronger than that; better than that! 
They were supposed to be the perfect super soldiers. Aside from a few issues over the years requiring retraining during adolescence as hormones ran rampant, and the problems with One and Two, the program had run smoothly over the past thirty-seven years. 
Six was supposed to be the program's crowning achievement. He was stronger than most of the other Numbers combined. No one had ever beaten him in hand-to-hand combat. His kill count was higher than agents who had been with the organization decades longer. 
So why had he gone rogue out of the blue? And what should their next move be? 

Your typical boy meets girl love story...if the boy was a highly trained super soldier and the girl was a target he was hired to kill. Six knew there was something different about Claire Conway the moment he laid eyes on her but he never would have guessed how she would turn his entire world upside down!

Tang Yiyi sighed once again. "Iris, I'm just glad that you managed to control yourself and didn't continue speaking so harshly to the interviewer even when he was being so rude to you. Although he deserves it, we have to be careful in maintaining your good reputation at this time, especially now that we're building up your image as a savvy celebrity businesswoman. It's better to solidify your image first before dealing with any sort of scandals because others might accuse you of acting too cocky now that you're becoming more famous and influential."
Iris opened her eyes.
"I know what you're going to say," Tang Yiyi said before Iris could open her mouth. "You'll say that you don't give a whit about what others think about you, but it's my job as your manager to build a good image and maintain a sterling reputation for you."
"I understand, Elder Sister Yiyi. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you," Iris replied. Then added, "But I was telling the truth earlier."
"What truth?"
"What the news anchor said during the interview was really the most stupid thing that I heard today."
"Ehehehe. True! Boss is right!" Dom said.
Tang Yiyi's mouth twitched. Although she agreed with Iris, she didn't say it out loud. All she could do was sigh again, a resigned expression on her face.
'Oh well. She's not Iris if she's not straightforward like this,' she thought to herself.
###
After the live broadcast of Iris Long's interview on the business news program, a debate erupted online. Since the news program was on cable TV, not many people watched the show. It also didn't help that the program was about business, something that failed to catch most of the general public's interest.
Despite this, today's episode still garnered a higher than usual number of viewers because of its special guest, Iris Long. It was a given that the Black Stars would force themselves to watch a business news program just so they could support their boss. This showed how deep their loyalty was to her because even if they didn't understand most of the things being discussed in the program, they still endured and continued to watch it for her.
The debate online was caused by the regular viewers of the business program versus the Black Stars and Iris Long's other supporters.
"There are so many successful and REAL businesspeople that they could interview. Why interview a singer like Iris Long? I don't get it."
"Many business programs and magazines are now featuring her because her new company, Orchidia Beauty, sold out in 5 seconds. Apparently, that's an amazing new record—here in the country, at least."
"So what? It has only been one time. Maybe it was just a fluke. There's no guarantee that her company would repeat a feat like that again in the future."
"I know, right? I was so surprised that Iris Long was interviewed in this news program. For a moment, I thought I was watching a showbiz news show instead of a business one. I approve of the news anchor giving her a hard time. She deserved it."
The Black Stars immediately swarmed to defend their boss.
"Wow. So many bitter people jealous of Boss Iris as always. Just because you can't copy her achievements, you resort to trying to pull her down. Pathetic!"
"And about that rude excuse of a news anchor, yes, he tried giving Boss Iris a hard time but did he succeed? Oh, HELL NO! The opposite happened, actually. Boss was the one who gave the rude bastard a hard time."
"That's because the boss is not only beautiful but smart as well! It's clear that she did her homework before going into the interview. She answered everything perfectly! Yes, we all know that she didn't have the best academic grades when she was in high school, but she's a late bloomer. What's wrong with that?"
The critics didn't back down.
"She answered perfectly because she's well-prepared. Maybe someone leaked the interview questions to her beforehand, allowing her to prepare appropriate answers."
"That's a serious allegation! Let my mighty slippers be the judge of whether your allegation makes sense… My mighty slippers final judgment is…GO TO HELL!!!"
"What did you say? Say that again?!"
The Black Stars started fighting another online battle to defend their Boss Iris' name. The Slippers Army was called to action. LittlePhoenix had school so she was unavailable. For a few moments, the Slippers Army were all over the internet, trolling enemies left and right with their mighty slippers without directions until finally….
KittyBaby: "Meow! KittyBaby is back, reporting for duty!"
The morale of the Black Stars, especially the Slippers Army, was instantly boosted upon KittyBaby's arrival. Many remembered her as an organized, highly efficient and vicious leader. Ignoring her weird manner of speaking, her trolling skills were highly respected on the same level, if not higher, than the original Slippers Army leader, iEatSlippers.
"Welcome back, KittyBaby! We missed you!"
"Please lead us to victory on the battlefield, Commander KittyBaby! Our mighty slippers await your instructions!"
KittyBaby: "Prepare your mighty paws—I mean your mighty slippers and follow my lead! Hear us roar. Mreow!!!"
"MREEEEOOOOOW!!!
"Aaaaaw. What an adorable roar!"
And with that, KittyBaby started leading the Slippers Army and the rest of the Black Stars to battle against those who were criticizing their Boss Iris earlier. They overwhelmed the critics with their savage trolling skills until the battle was won.
KittyBaby: "Victory! Meow!"
"MEOOOOOOOW!!!"
"Aaaaaw. That's so cute!"
The Slippers Army once again proved to the netizens that they were one of the most infamous troll groups in the internet. In fact, it seemed that they had become even more ruthless under the leadership of KittyBaby. The battle was won so quickly.
"Ah, that was fun."
"Yeah. Commander KittyBaby's trolling skills are so cute but also so savage! She gives orders so fast that I feel like she's everywhere, like there's more than one of her."
"Exactly! It just means that she's super amazing!"
KittyBaby: "Ehehehe. KittyBaby is feeling shy. Meow~ (cute blushing kitty emoji)"
"I hope that you lead us to more battles in the future. We missed you while you were gone. What happened? We didn't hear anything from you in the past two weeks!"
KittyBaby: "KittyBaby was grounded by my mommy and daddy for being a bad kitty. KittyBaby is not grounded anymore because I'm back to being a good kitty! Meow~"
"You're so cute!"
"That's good to hear. I hope that your mom and dad don't ground you anymore. They're so strict. Anyway, I want to talk about Boss Iris again and what she said during the interview. She just revealed that she's enrolled in a school abroad. I'm so curious to know which school!"
"Me too! I also want to know which country the school is located. Is it in the US? Australia? UK? Maybe Canada? I think these are the most popular destinations for rich Chinese students like her."
"There are also some good universities in Asia. Japan is also popular to Chinese students."
The Black Stars made several guesses.
"Boss Iris said that we'll eventually know in the future when she's ready to reveal it so let's just wait."
"Yes, you're right."
The comradeship between the members of the Black Stars deepened after another fun-filled battle against their boss' detractors. As for KittyBaby, she was welcomed warmly, gaining even more loyal soldiers from the Slippers Army after leading them to yet another victory.

"You all should know the history of humanity and what lies above are the predators that toppled the apex that we humans were standing upon. I will teach you what I know and whether you want to learn it's up to you. I really don't care if you listen or not. Well you can call me Mr Wilson or instructor if you'd like, I hope we can have a constructive year." Wilson gave a smile.

The class started learning from the fundamentals, spirit particles.

"In front of you lies a simple light charm. If you are able to pour in your spirit particles it will simply light up. If you manage to light it you may take the rest of the class off till your next physical session." 

Free time was a luxury! Especially during the first few months of training, they all saw the schedule and it was packed like sardines. So just the mention of free time became a great motivator and everyone started trying to pour their spirit particles in.

Well all except one who did it without much effort. 

"Well done! Tell me was this your first time or did you learn prior?"

"I just learned it yesterday in the library." Rin answered honestly.

"Well seems like your prep work paid off. Go enjoy your free time." Wilson smiled and made a note next to Rin's record. 

Rin gave a small bow and walked straight to the library. He still had the list of books Sylvia recommended so he intended to learn as much as possible within the free time given.

At this time there weren't many people in the library but he did see Sylvia with her own pile of books. She had a look of focus and he initially did not want to disturb her but she somehow saw him and waved to him with a bright smile. 

"Hey Syl who's that young lad?" 

Her Friend that was seated beside her was genuinely curious. She never saw her so happy seeing a member of the opposite sex before. 

As Rin got closer he heard Sylvia reply.

"My Boyfriend is course! Isn't he cute." 

Rin inwardly rolled his eyes.

'Why is she still telling this 'boyfriend' thing to people who aren't her family. Wasn't it a family issue?' Rin's little Sister would kill him if she heard of this fake boyfriend news. Rin unconsciously shivered a little at the thought.

"What! Boyfriend!? When did you get one?" Her Friend was eyeing him from top to bottom, scrutinising every detail of the person who won Syl's good graces.

Sylvia merely gave a graceful smile while Rin said nothing and his face revealed nothing. 

Her friend pouted a little and started playing Detective.

"Seeing that he's here, he must have been allowed to leave class early. A talent."

"Are you complimenting yourself by complimenting him? We all know that if you are ahead of the class you can get out of class, but did you know he's only a first year who just came in yesterday Charlie?" Sylvia smiled with a hint of pride in her voice.

"Huh? Is that possible? I never heard of anyone being able to skip the first class."

"I don't know if it was done before in the past but for his generation and ours he's the first." 

Rin didn't want to participate in their farce anymore so he took out the other books and started reading and was soon in his own world. 

 Seeing that Rin wasn't listening anymore she whispered to Sylvia "What about your other pursuers? I'm sure they won't be happy about this." 

Sylvia shrugged. She really had no good feelings for her so called 'pursuers', they were cynical and vile with no redeeming features other than their so called background. 

After a few hours the usual shocking amount of books piled up, Rin's communicator reminded him about the time and he quickly rushed back to the classroom. Leaving a huge pile of books for Sylvia and Charlie to return.

Sylvia didn't mind but Charlie was flabbergasted. 

"Is that how a Boyfriend should act? He didn't even say goodbye and left this mess behind!"

"Now now, didn't you see his dazed look. Reading and understanding this much books and the physical training together would make him a little ditzy but that's also a cute part of him." Sylvia said with a sunny smile.

"Well your Boyfriend does seem very cute." Charlie agreed.

"He's mine, don't even think about it." Sylvia gave a smile that didn't seem like she was smiling.

Not knowing that someone overheard them talking, the person in question was shocked! One of the three beauties of the Academy had a Boyfriend! 

The news spread like wildfire but no one knew who the Boyfriend Charlie mentioned was! 

Meanwhile…..

The physical training continued and the suffering for the poor first years just began. 

The running continued, if four kilometres was for breakfast, it was six kilometres for lunch. The training didn't stop there, when their legs got tired their upper bodies would be trained. 

The program was designed not only to train a person to their fullest potential but to push the limits of both the physical and mental to their limits. 

Of course everyone had different limits so the program didn't expect all of them to have a certain amount of standard at the beginning, as long as they finished what they asked with visible effort they didn't care if the students were as fast as turtles. 

They did however always made comparisons and they used Rin the youngest there. 

If anyone claimed they couldn't do it anymore or they were worse than Rin in a physical activity the Instructors would go "you can't even compare to an eight year old?" Or "What gives you the right to stop when someone as young as Rin is toughing it out?"

In a dark world where humans no longer reign supreme, hiding like rats in underground cities to survive. A young boy named Rin decided to join the army to support his injured father who got hurt in the line of duty and his precious little sister. 

He was found to have spirit particles within his body, making him eligible in becoming a state Onmyouji. 

Watch him overcome trial after trial to try and protect the ones he loves and also to ensure his own survival.

Jake snaps his finger and Xavier's eyes widened and he awakes, it was all in illusions, Jake had tricked Xavier and used his own telekinesis and telepathic superpowers, he had outsmarted and tricked Xavier with his own powers, Jake could copy anyone's powers, even when he mind is being read. "You think can go around reading anyone's thoughts without warning, that won't work on me,"Jake stands up from his office chair and stares down Xavier, "You are really not good at your job, look at what happened to you for trying to understand someone you can't. You can't change someone and you know that," Jake was, of course, he was referring to Xavier's friend Magneto[His real name changes many times from Max to Erik after all the crimes he has committed and how many people he killed]. 
It seemed that Jake had now started to remember important events and heroes/villains from the Marvel Verse by reading Xavier's mind he was able to get a lot of important information. It was clear now that Jake had read more of Xavier's mind then he did to him, in a sense... Jake knew more about Xavier than he knew about himself! 
"H-how were you able to create such a powerful illusion!? It was like I was in an endless nightmare! It felt like I really died! This dark power... It rivals someone I know... Jake who really are you!?" Xavier starts sweating, even though was in his younger form[around late 20s] he still could barely walk, he had to use a cane since Magento had still injured his spine. Right now he was trembling fear of Jake's immense dark power, peering through his mind was like looking into an endless void of symbiote. 
"I have to meet with the hero-program, see you later Professor," Jake pats him on the shoulders and a demeaning way, Jake knew he was the one in control in this situation, most heroes would hear out Xavier and what he had to said, but Jake knew he would hear the same bullshit that every hero says, 'never let yourself be controlled by the darkness,'. 
Jake already knew this, he had a godamn powerful symbiote living within his bloodstream and body, but together they coexisted, he knew eventually that he would have to control his symboite powers, yet right now these symboite powers making more powerful by the second. It was like he was evolving each second. Now he had Xavier's powers merely by Xavier trying to use his powers against him! 
'Not many heroes and villains understand the source of my powers that is why I was able to win every battle, even against Jennfier who could have easily crushed me with the insane super-strength if I didn't counter her strength with my own spiderman strength. Jennifer was on the level of the Hulk!' Jake remembers that there was so much to do today, he was going to go Villian and Hero hunting tonight, he wanted to absorb more superpowers. 
"There you are Jake, Bruce wants to talk with you," Natasha opens the door and has a cellphone on her hand. "Come on Jake you didn't have to be so mean with him. You really are becoming a bully," Natasha lets out a motherly laugh as she saw Xavier sweating bullets. 
"Let's get out of here. School is boring as fuck anyways," Jake takes Natasha's phone. 
"What do you want?" Jake asked Bruce. 
"There is an important mission I want you to join me on this like old times," Bruce calmly said.
"Didn't I tell you I am no sidekick," Jake replied. 
"Jake... One of your friends has been captured..." Bruce said as he rubs his eyes in frustration, things we're now getting serious. 
Jake's eyes widened, "Who?" He asked. 
"Just hurry and meet me at my cave I will tell you everything.  S.H.I.E.L.D has made their move," Bruce hangs up. 
Jake clenched his fist, all hell was about to break loose. His new life was now changing fast, one of his friends was held hostage, but who? He would have to choose between becoming a hero or villain. Jake was actually thinking about joining the Avengers Program after this, but now his plans have changed. 

Jake is reincarnated as Spiderman and chooses to become the most powerful Spiderman in existence. He will forge his own path.

　　He kept thinking about his last unfinished contract. He went over the code in his head. He had gone over it so many times at this point that he could probably recite it in his sleep. He had to. Because this was the biggest contract he had been able to catch after more than four years of being a professional programmer.

　　It was a contract to make a marginally but significantly better encryption system than the one that was widely used presently. He had managed to do it by integrating the eighth gen quantum-computing core better than the industry standard integrated it. He did this by creating a creative new method of processing unique encryption keys using quantum parallelism.

　　While it may seem very unlikely for someone with barely five years of experience in the field, or someone who is only twenty three years old, to be able to make a program of such a caliber, he had three things going for him.

　　Firstly, due to evolution and advances in the medical field, humans in general had gotten progressively smarter. While the increase was not by a large degree, it was not an insignificant amount either.

　　Secondly, he also had always been somewhat smarter than average. Also not by a large margin, but by enough to be significant.

　　Lastly, he had always been almost inhumanly hard working. Having finished university just a few months before his nineteenth birthday, more than four years before the norm, all the while working on the side to be able to feed himself and pay his bills.

　　He also had an excellent talent in the field. He had always found that merging different smaller ideas or concepts into a larger functioning whole by thinking creatively while still keeping things constrained within a logical framework had always been his forte.

　　This was also the reason why once, when he had been reading a detective fiction in a group due to a group assignment in school, he had not understood why the others in the group had not figured out very early on who the culprit was, and were instead surprised when it was finally revealed in the story.

　　Therefore, since programming was the skill he was best at in his life, and since it was the only thing he knew to think about, he kept thinking about the program he had made for his last contract.

　　He kept trying to find flaws in his code, or think of ways to improve the code, or make it more efficient by reducing the amount of code required without harming the performance of his program. He could do this in his head because he had completely memorized that code by heart.

　　Due to all the thinking, he eventually slowly started to get tired. While the fatigue problem had lessened, it seemed that it was still very much there.

　　For the next couple of times that he woke up, he found himself constantly thinking about the program he had made.

　　However, after a few times, he stopped himself. Because he realized that he had spiraled back into his old routine, even though he now had an excellent opportunity to relax, something he had never had before, and did not know if he would ever have again.

　　Therefore, he decided that he would not only think about that one program that he had been working on just before he had found himself in this situation, but try and think about other productive things as well.

　　He started thinking about all that he could remember from the other programs he had written in the past. He also went over all that he knew about programming in general, and tried to think up and create new programs or new ways of using different coding languages in his mind.

　　When he started feeling the exhaustion creeping up a bit too fast, he decided to switch to meditating. He had found out that meditating seemed to stave off the exhaustion somewhat.

　　Suddenly it dawned on him that he had never tried to come back out of meditation. Before, whenever he had meditated because the exhaustion was becoming a little bit too strong to bear, he had always simply gradually faded to sleep. Therefore, he decided that this time he would try to come back out of meditation after a while and try to go back to thinking.

　　As such, after he plunged himself back into meditation and let the layers of consciousness slowly peel away, after a decently long period of time had passed, he slowly let his awareness come back to him very gradually, as though the tide was rising slowly at the sea shore that was his mind, raising his awareness along with it.

　　During a state of half-awareness, he felt as though there was a stream of warm current flowing into him from all sides of his body. He instantly recalled that there was another time, just after this situation had happened to him, that he had felt this exact same sensation.

　　This time he did not make the same mistake as the last time.

　　He immediately refocused on his meditation, not giving any attention to that sensation or thinking about it at all. After a while of focusing on keeping himself in this state of half-consciousness, he slowly started to try to feel that sensation again.

　　He found that the sensation was still there.

　　This time, since he was amply prepared, he managed to keep himself from falling out of this state of half-consciousness and yet still kept himself aware of the unique sensation.

　　It was a very comforting feeling, and he thought that it might have been this warm flow of something that caused his exhaustion to stay at bay.

　　As he inevitably gradually became more and more conscious, and his awareness slowly returned to him, he felt as though that warm flow also gradually faded and was slowly replaced by a mounting exhaustion that became more and more unbearable.

　　Until he eventually lost to it and fell asleep due to fatigue.

This is a story about the adventure and fun-filled life of the first magus in a world that only knew cultivation. Join his journey as you experience his joys, horrors, excitement, indignation, and triumphs. Watch him grow and change along with the people and places that he visits. This is a story about life in a world filled with fantasy and majesty. This is the story of the primus magus.

Arriving at a big courtyard, Guild leader and Marcus stood in front of each other. Marcus had no idea what kind of test this will be. Mentally he already prepared for everything. He started to move energy around his body.

"Attack me."

Hearing this, Marcus moved and shot lightning from his hand.
 
Guild leader, Xu Qiang, didn't expect that Marcus will move so fast. He didn't even blink before attacking. Truly ruthless. But Xu Qiang wasn't fazed by this, he gathered his Qi and blocked the lightning. 

"Is that all you have?"

Without any surprise to Marcus his attack was blocked, and hearing Guild leader words, he joined his palms. With a smile on his face, he started to circulate his energy through the coil acceleration pathway. 

Looking at Marcus, Xu Qiang knew that he was preparing a powerful attack. But he wasn't able to perceive any Qi coming of from Marcus. Truly extraordinary. 

Reading the letter from the branch leader Cheng Gang, he was surprised about Marcus's capability. But at the end of the message was included information about Marcus's unique ability. Only then Xu Qiang has been blown away. No Qi was coming emitting his body. 

Marcus's talent was unheard of. Every expert that exists in this world emits Qi from their bodies, the amount emitted can be reduced by particular means and techniques but not wholly hidden and if enemy's perception is powerful, he will be able to detect that trace Qi that is always there.

But Marcus is different; there is no energy coming from his body. And form that looks of it Marcus still didn't realize his enormous advantage he gets from it. 

Seconds passed, and soon they turned into minutes. Marcus had closed eyes, and palms still joined together.

"Are you attacking or praying?"

Hearing guild leaders taunt, Marcus moved. Opening his eyes, he pointed his right hand at the guild leader. An energy beam that could swallow the guild leader many times over shootout. It was so powerful it couldn't be called lighting anymore. Not expecting that Marcus's attack will be so powerful, Xu Qiang moved to block it entirely, if it hits anything behind him it can cause many casualties! 

Gathering his Qi Xu Qiang readied himself and caught the whole beam. Quickly suppressing all of its energy, he collected it and redirected it to the sky. 

With the crisis resolved, he looked at the one that caused it. 

that attack was strong enough to kill Body Reconstruction stage five expert! 

At this age to be able to do such thing is... first in the history! Hunters Guild needs to recruit him!

That attack took Marcus minutes to prepare, but with the power, he can generate its worth the wait.

"Boy, you can join the hunter guild."

"Thank you Guild Leader."

"You can call me Xu Qiang."

"Guild Leader, can I ask when do I start the Hunters Guild training program?"

"Training program? With your strength, there is no need for you to go there!"

Xu Qiang noticed the disappointment on Marcus's face. NO! he has to make sure that he joins the hunters guild! For this, he needs to keep a good relationship with Marcus.

"But if you want you can start tomorrow. What do you think?"

"Thank you Guild Leader."

In reality one of the reasons Marcus wanted to join the Hunters Guild, was the World Tree Academy. There he will be able to fix one of his most significant flaws. Close quarters fighting. There are close quarters fighting techniques in the library, but as Es pointed out to him, everyone is different, and before he starts a real fight he should adapt to the fighting technique in a safe environment as a small mistake can cost him life.

The World Tree Academy will be a perfect place to accomplish his goals.

"For today you can stay in the Hunters Guild, tomorrow we can go to the Academy, there I will explain you everything you need to know."

Xu Qiang guided Marcus to a room and left. Leaving the hunters guild, he quickly traveled to the World Tree Academy. With his strength, it took him only a few seconds before he stood in front of the principal's office. Walking into the room,  a thick smell of books entered his nose. Behind the desk sat his old friend, Xiao Zhi, the principal of the World Tree Academy.

"Xu Qiang! What a surprise! Come in!"

With a big smile on his face, Xiao Zhi welcomed Xu Qiang. Walking up to the desk, Xu Qiang sited down on a chair.

"It's good to see you again."

Ever since childhood, these two were best friends. Even after their paths separated, they stayed friends. And because hunters guild and world tree had a good relationship for decades, it allowed them to remain friends and also allies. 

"But I'm not here for a friendly talk; I need your help."

Xiao Zhi face turned grave, in the end, their organizations are allies and will help each other to some extent.

"Don't worry, its nothing serious, but very important. Tomorrow I will bring a new student for the Hunters Guild training program. I need you to assign a teacher to protect him. NOTHING can happen to him. We both are aware of the 'rivalry' between the genius class and the hunter's guild training program."

Xiao Zhi was surprised at how much importance his friend attached to this new student. He already couldn't wait to meet him.

"Don't worry I will get Lin Zhen to take care of him."

"Thank you. You won't regret this."

"Really? How so?"

"You will know tomorrow."

Finishing their talk Xu Qiang left. 

Xiao Zhi thought for a long time, and while making some assumptions, he made a plan of his own. Xu Qiang is his friend, but he is not the brightest. He is not good at planning for the future. So he has to take appropriate measures. He will make sure that the World Tree Acadamy and Hunters Guild become one. Together they will be able to rival ancient clans that rule this world.

After receiving talent and a system from a mysterious man, Marcus wanted to get revenge on the clan that mistreated him.

So... he runs away!

Follow Marcus on his struggle to gain strength. Keep him company in his darkest hours and share his greatest joys. See as he battles with the good and the evil. Watch as each day he accumulates strength, to finally return triumphantly.
