CHAPTER 1
This is a world filled with monsters and demons . Many years ago , a red beam of light descended on this land and along with it came 15 cosmic level beings .
The sea turned red as blood and red rain started falling on the planet . This Blood Sea was a evolution drug which evolved the creatures living in it and also the animals and plants living on the land .
The red rain is a phenomenon which occurs on land which make the creatures who absorb this rain to become mutated once more whereas this rain is dangerous for humans .
The cosmic monsters along with the mutated monsters started killing humans and destroying countries like they want to conquer the world . Fortunately , along with these beings came 'Aether'
Humans absorbed 'Aether' in themselves and became superhumans with extraordinary strength and magic . They started walking down the path of cultivation and become stronger to fight against these monsters . Thus , the 'First Awakeners' came into existence .
After a battle of 5 years did humanity gain a standing against them but it was too late . Almost 70% of the population was dead , the remaining humans built base cities to settle down . There were 42 base cities built and 5 major base cities .
The 5 major base cities :
These base cities hold the strongest authority and combat power in the continent. They are also responsible to defend humanity against monsters and responsible for raising geniuses .
Stellar Academy
The World's top Academy which is located at the Stellar Base City . This academy was responsible for nurturing future talents and make them stand as pillars as humanity against the monsters .
Each base city has a ruling authority over it . The Stellar Base City is controlled by 6 sword families . The most powerful among them is the 'Celestia Family' who had the largest number of Aetherforged and Aetherheart realm Evolvers in the Continent .
My name is Damien Celestia . I am a member of the Celestia Family . My father Dante Celestia is the head of the Celestia Family and the current strongest person in the World . My mother is Evangel Celestia who is the third strongest person in the World and an ice elemental ability user .
My sister and I are the only direct descendants of the Celestia Family currently attending the Stellar Academy . My sister is a genius whose cultivation reached level 4 of Aetherborn realm at just 18 years age . I am on the other hand a good-for-nothing . I tried my hardest but only managed to reach level 2 of Aetherborn realm at 20 years of age .
I am always a punching bag for those stronger than me . This is my final year and the number of students stuck at level 2 is only one and that is me . Even the weakest student is level 3 and the strongest is already level 9 with trying to breakthrough to the Aetherforged realm .
Backyard of the High-Class Academy dorms
"Argh !!!" Damien fell down on the ground
"Get up" ordered Lime
Damien weakly got up as he was again beaten to the ground . His cloths were tattered . His body full of wounds and injuries . His eyes were closed as the blood dripping from his head made it unclear .
"Why you ?" said Lime as he grabbed Damien's collar
"Why do you get to stay in this dorm of famous people . You are someone born with golden spoon in your mouth and still are a good-for-nothing . If I were to be born in Celestia family , I would never even considered you my brother"
Damien who was injured the whole time sneered at Lime .
"Fortunately , for you . If you were to be born in Celestia family , then you would have been a dead meat by now"
"Why , you …?"
"What's going on here ?" suddenly a voice of a pretty girl with amethyst eyes and hair rang up .
They all turned towards the figure and were scared . She was the eldest daughter of Celestia Family , Hestia . They all looked at the bruised Damien once more as they walked away . Hestia slowly came towards Damien who was in a critical condition .
"Damien ? Are you okay ?" asked Hestia with worry in her eyes
"Why do you care ?" said Damien in a cold voice
"Huh ?!"
"Why do you care if anything happens to me ? I am already used to it . You should just return back to the dorms"
Damien walked away slowly as his eyes were behind his silver hair . He came and settled in his dorm room . This was a dorm which was for the highest class of people in the Base City . Damien is obviously living here but he never felt like home . He also doesn't feel like a comfortable place even at his family castle .
His father is on the verge of kicking him out from the family . It isn't that his father is inhuman or despises having such a son but rather , it was the opinion of the branch families . They are the people constantly forcing Dante to abandon Damien and make 'Cassian Celestia' his successor to the patriarch position .
Cassian Celestia was a genius on par with Hestia . He reached level 6 of Aetherborn realm in just 20 years of age . Lucian wasn't thinking about those things . His father has already given his decision that if he can't become the Patriarch then the position will be given to Hestia .
'I guess after Hestia recieves the Patriarch position'
'First Uncle , will propose the marriage between Cassian and Hestia'
'I am against it'
'How dare he looks at my sister like that ?'
'Just you wait'
'I will take revenge when I have enough strength'
'I have to grow stronger and faster'
'I can't stop just yet !!'
[Extreme will power detected]
A voice rang in Damien's head and a screen appeared infront of him . It was a holographic screen .
[Initiating system fusion]
[System fusion progress : 10 %]
[20%]
.
.
.
.
[100 %]
[System installation complete]
[Welcome , player . You have obtained the Divine Cultivation System]
[You have received 'Newbie Gift Pack' from the system]
Damien's eyes widened in surprise . He gained a system ?
It was a cultivation system . Although , Damien had no idea what this was but he understood that it will give him a big boost in cultivation .
[Open 'Newbie Gift Pack' ?]
[Yes !]
[Congratulations , you have obtained a boost in one minor cultivation realm]
[You have received 'Skill : Clairvoyance']
[You have received 'Trait : Skill Mastery']
[You have received 'Trait : Magic Mastery']
[You have unlocked your own trait 'Trait : Sword Mastery]
Damien jumped up from the bed . He received Magic Mastery and Sword Mastery as trait . He is also a genius like Hestia . If he can cultivate well then it would only take him a matter of time before he ascends .
[Check your 'Status Window']
"Status!"
[Damien Celestia]
[Race : Human]
[Level : Aetherborn Realm (Level : 3)]
[Bloodline : Celestial Bloodline]
[Skills : Clairvoyance]
[Traits : 'Trait : Skill Mastery' , 'Trait : Magic Mastery' , 'Trait : Sword Mastery']
[Evolution Points : 3]
Damien was shocked . His level really increased from Level 2 to 3 in just a few seconds . If this really goes on then he can breakthrough to Aetherforged Realm faster than any one .
'Evolution points ?!'
'What does it do ?'
"System , what can I use Evolution points for ?"
[Evolution points can be used in various ways]
[You can use them to increase the level of practice of your skill]
[You can even use it to raise your cultivation realm and level]
'A cheat . This is a cheat'
'He can use this evolution points to breakthrough minor realms and even major realms ?'
'Isn't it like having to cultivate just by killing monsters ?'
"System , what is the total evolution points I need to increase my level to level 4 ?"
[You need a total of 6 evolution points to raise your level to level 4]
[Remember , as your cultivation progresses . The amount of evolution points needed to raise each level will increase exponentially]
[Good luck !]
'So , it doesn't give a complete all-round advantage'
'But , its alright . It made sense though . If I use the same number of evolution points then I will be invincible in just a few months'
'My first goal is to reach level 8 or possibly level 9 by the end of my final course'
'I have atmost 2 months until graduation'
'Let's go kill some monsters'
