Chapter One

Early morning, The Othrie Empire, Imperial Capital, inside a certain house.

The sunlight seeped gently into a room through the curtains.

"Ugh~ I hate mornings."

Suddenly, all the curtains in the room were pulled open, and the glaring sunlight flooded in.

"Wow~" I immediately covered my head with the blanket, "I wish I could just die!"

"Brother~" a sweet voice came from beside me.

"Wenxin, give me more time, please!" I lazily said.

"Oh~ni~sauce~" said softly, ahh~~ so cute! It was like being injected with excitement, and I immediately woke up.

"Ugh! You're sitting on me, how am I supposed to get up!" I complained as I looked at my sister sitting on me with a menacing look.

"Just get up, brother! Today is the day we move into the new dormitory at school. I have to move a lot of things, my books, clothes, teddy bears, everything! Hurry up!"

I sighed and lay back down. By the way, I can only hear that cute voice only in the morning or when she wants something from me.

I put on my uniform and stood in front of the mirror to tidy myself up.

In the mirror, there was a boy with a height of about 1.73 to 1.75 meters, black short hair, well-defined facial features, and the most beautiful nose, wearing a pair of southern-colored glasses. That's me - Qin Yang, 16 years old, studying in the second year of high school at The Chishin Academy. I'm very good at low-level and low-tier magic and summoning arts, with good academic performance. My dream is to become a researcher of magic. Why? It's because I can only use low-level and low-tier magic and can't become a practicing magic user, but I'm passionate about magic, so becoming a magic researcher is my only way out. You might think I'm useless, but I believe in an ancient saying, "When Heaven bestows a great task upon someone, it must first torment their hearts and minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their skin and bodies, disrupt their plans and intentions, so as to test their determination and perseverance, and then enhance their abilities." This is my guiding principle. Whenever I see others using advanced magic, I feel envious, but then I remember this saying and realize that I don't care about it at all. "Brother, come down and have breakfast, we have to leave!" "Oh! Coming, coming."

My sister - Lin Wenxin, as we can tell from our surnames, we are not blood-related siblings. I am an adopted child. I was picked up by the Lin family from a trash dump ten years ago. That was a dark memory buried deep in my heart. I don't want to remember it anymore. Every time I recall it, I feel melancholic for days.

By the way, the Lin couple are Senior Holy Magic Masters at the Royal Arch Saint level, and Wenxin is also a Holy Magic Master. She became a Mid-High level last year, so she can be considered a genius. She is one year younger than me and a freshman at The Chishin Academy High School.

In The Human Realm, magic users are divided into seven tiers - low, mid, high, arch saint, saint, arch god, and god. Each tier is further divided into high, mid, and low levels. In The Human Realm, becoming an arch saint or saint level magic user is already impressive, and arch god level is only achieved by a few individuals in our empire, they are considered prodigies. Once someone ascends to the god level, they become gods themselves, no longer humans, and the classification of tiers no longer applies to them. There are only a handful of known god-level magic users, so most people in their lifetime only reach high or arch saint level. "Brother, hurry up, it's time to leave." Just as I finished breakfast, Wenxin hurriedly dragged me to help her with her luggage. I'm exhausted every time this time of the semester comes around. Looking at the mountain of luggage, I said, "Are you going to school or moving?" "It's none of your business, just carry the heavy ones." "......." Speechless. "Spirit of the Earth, answer my summons!" Five cute spirits appeared beside me. "You've worked hard!" I pointed at the pile of luggage and said, flying around with their green skins, protecting our vision. It's not easy having a little sister! However, I have a bad feeling that nothing good is going to happen on the first day of school.
