Into the Forest

As nightfall descended upon the academy, the air grew thick with eerie silence, the last batches of students scrambling to their dorms to make it before curfew.

Some students, exhausted from a long day of classes and training, trudged wearily to their dorms in search of rest. Others, driven by ambition and the thirst for more strength, practiced in the dorms, honing their skills and leveling up their Abilities.

It was at this hour that Damion sat up from his lying position, looked around, before taking the necklace hanging from his neck into his hands, examining it under his room's white light.

The necklace was military equipment, a mix of Magic and Technology, and it had proven to be very valuable lots of times.

The number of students whose lives had been saved due to the timely response of the necklace to their critical state was too much to count. The necklace was tied to each student, and their vitality was being monitored day in, day out.
