What if you wake up on the morning of your fifteenth birthday to discover a system screen floating over your head? It means you are a Mystic, one of the hundred people born each year who have access to the Celestial system and powers of the universe.

What if when you go to get registered as a Mystic at their Academy you discover that all the slots are taken? There are already a hundred mystics in the system. You are a strange anomaly that has never happened in a billion years.

Well, you must be none other than Xavier Xerxes. The weird teenager who was bullied for his strange white skin, long snowy hair and pink eyes is now also a Mystic who shouldn't exist. It couldn't have gotten any worse for him.

Now he has to attend Celestial Academy to get basic training in leveling up and growing into the full potentials of his powers so he can slay demons and battle monsters from real to realm. He has the opportunity to grow from a human to an Immortal, saving the world along the way. Cool, right?

But there's one little problem. Xavier doesn't do anything that could pass off as stressful. No, he prefers to read books in the library. He loves to write stories and poems. He cries through romantic movies. He has never walked farther than a meter in his life. No sporting activity whatsoever. He hates violence.

Now they expect him to carry a sword. He is supposed to turn his body into a weapon of destruction, and his mind into a fortress of power. What the hell? 

How is he expected to survive a day at Celestial Academy when he has been home schooled since he was a child? How is he supposed to kill a bloodthirsty troll when he is scared of spiders? Exercise drills, push ups, war games...meditating? Never before in his life!

Right. We all have to wait and see. Hopefully he'll find a way not to die on the first day.

Celestial Academy of Mystics

As Xavier explained how he came to be in the Spiritual Realm and his mission there, the others listened without saying a word. Even Min Ho, our resident blabbermouth, held his tongue until Xavier concluded his narration.

"Didn't you stop to think that maybe the old man could be lying?"

Xavier nodded. "I was conscious of that possibility. It was a risk I was willing to take because of Master Kim Sao Chen."

Min Ho was not satisfied with his reply. "You're a novice mystic, Xavier. That's not a risk you should be required to take by anyone, especially not the First Angel of the Heavenly Fountain creed. Isn't that guy meant to be immensely powerful? Why would he need you to do something so dangerous for him?"

"It's more complicated than that." Xavier looked away from the questioning look Min Ho still offered. His eyes landed on Declan instead. "How did you end up in my room?"
