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

I, Mika Elbar, was lying on the floor with my gaze directed to Dreyar who looked down on me from the hole I crashed in.

The halo above my head disappeared.

[How much longer do you intend to lie there? If you do not move, you will die.]

I recognized the system's voice but I did not pay it any heed.

My body did not want to move. I only felt my fingers twitching as my nails scratched the wooden floor.

And to be honest, I slowly but surely got tired.

By now, Xander must have escaped with that woman already. With the time I had left, I could not catch up to them after all, a far bigger threat was blocking the path.

Speaking of him, Dreyar also did not seem to move from his spot. He just kept on staring at me. Was he perhaps trying to confirm if I was still in a state to fight?
