VERSON

[Enter Loogam or you will die.]
“Huh?”

For the 15-year-old Mika Elbar it was a day like any other. He casually spent his time strolling around the village.
Mika was neither ambitious nor did he have a dream. Unlike the others in his age, he wasn’t really interested in adventures or subjugating monsters and demons to become a hero. It was enough for him to live his life peacefully with his family in the village. However, things didn’t go as planned. 
A voice in his head suddenly threatened him to enter the world’s most renowned magic academy, Loogam. The academy was known for producing the best mages, knights, adventures and even heroes. It goes without saying that whoever graduates from that academy will be swimming in fame and wealth.
Thus, reluctantly, Mika decided to try to enter Loogam with no hopes of getting accepted. After all, his magic was below average and he didn’t even possess one of the world’s 66 mythic relics. Instead, he only had the guidance of a strange voice in his head and a rusty sword on his hip.

But will that be enough to survive in the magic academy Loogam? In the world of Lorw, where dangerous and powerful monsters constantly threat the peace?

The Angelic System That Turned My Life Into Hell

Mika knocked on his home's door. And shortly after that, he heard familiar footsteps approaching the door.

When a person's head was slowly emerging from the door gap, the gentle and warm voice resonated within his ears.

He formed a wide crescent smile, showing his teeth like a carefree child.

"I'm home, Mom!" he announced happily.

Opening the door for him was his mother, Eli Elbar.

"Oh, Mika, it's you!" she said overjoyed.

Eli slammed the door wide open and embraced her child.

No words were spoken when mother and child shared a hug.

If there was a place where he could be himself and where he could relax, then it was his home.

"I'm glad that you're alright." she muttered softly while caressing Mika's hair.

"You worry too much, Mom." he joked.

"A mother can never worry too much, you know?" she retorted.

She moved away from Mika and turned around.
