2 Chapter 2 : New Beginning 2

Ring... Ring...

The sound of the alarm on my phone woke me up from my sleep.

"Hmmm. Oof!"

It's already 8 AM. Feeling the absence of pain in my head, | woke up from bed and stretched my neck.

Rubbing my eyes a few times before opening them, | found a large virtual screen in front of me.

[Status]

Profession :

[Swordsmanship level: Beginner]

Your understanding of the sword is at the beginner level. The more level you increase, the easier

it becomes for you to grasp the arts concept.

Bloodline ability: [Locked]

Although | had more or less expected this, the screen before me slightly differed from what |

expected. Except for the stat points, | didn't find anything catching my eye.

No daily tasks.

No daily or monthly quest.

My fault for expecting too much. '

There are even three tabs in the window:

[Status] [Shop] and [Locked]

The third tab was locked, so | clicked on the shop.Reach 500 experience points to open a shop.

It seems there are things that | can buy based on the experience points.

The grade of your bloodline can change people's standpoints. To enroll in the horizon, you must

have at least a bronze bloodline.

The bloodline determines your potential.

There are five types of bloodlines, which are as follows: bronze, silver, gold, platinum and

diamond.

A person with a diamond and platinum bloodline will find it easier to reach 8 star rank than theother. In contrast, a gold heritage can help you get a 7-star rank quickly, but reaching 8 stars orabove seems nearly impossible and will only depend on your hard work and foundation, which willbe very helpful in the higher rank.

But the real reason why higher bloodlines are sought after is that higher origins will have a strongbloodline ability or attribute corresponding to their family. For example, in a family with fireattributes, a person with golden blood will have higher efficiency in controlling the fire, and his firepower will deal much more damage than a person with a silver bloodline.

Having good bloodlines doesn't always guarantee an ability, but it still gives you a lot of potentialto become stronger quickly than lower bloodlines.

There is a way to upgrade your bloodline. But it is introduced in the latter part of the novel wherethe protagonist, having a golden heritage, will upgrade to platinum and then to diamond; still, withthe platinum bloodline, there will be no obstacle for him to reach an 8-star rank.

While | am 1-star, | don't think | can visit dungeons, as now, with my abilities, | am gonna justwelcome my death.

| looked at my watch. Today was Tuesday, the year 2109, month of May. The academy will be

opening on Monday. With my time, | should familiarise myself with this world.

| remember being unable to talk out of nervousness when talking to my teachers in my previouslife, so how can it be easy for me to interact with the frightening people in this world? Where they can crush mountains with a punch and where strength determines whether you have the right to

speak or not.

| took out my phone and checked my account balance. | roughly had 7200R.

"Hmm. | think | should go to the Mist forest in the north and fight some G rank beasts to hone my skills."

| stood up and opened my luggage to see if anything was helpful. Along with daily necessities,

There was one low-tier healing potion that his parents gave him before his journey.

‘At least there is something useful.’ Packing my bags, | stepped outside.

Due to modern technology, there is less pollution here, unlike in my previous life. Every breath of air feels fresh and gives a refreshing feel.

| walked out on the streets, trying to familiarise myself with the road.My first goal was to buy a sword to protect myself in the Mist forest.

The average looks of the people here were way better than in my world. Even if you pick a randomlady on the street, she will give a score of 70 out of 100, which is too much for my heart to handle.

"Che! No...No! | shouldn't distract myself with these naughty thoughts. | don't even know when adeath flag may find me. | must keep myself prepared for any possible worst situation. "

Wandering, | finally found a weapon store. Although the store looked shabby | can't complain.After all, | am poor myself.

Hesitating for a second, | opened the door.

Creaaak....

A bulky middle-aged man, who seemed to be in his 40s looked at me while a cleaning a sword atthe counter. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, just meeting his eyes sent shivers down my spine.

Are all men scary like this? A weak lamb like myself is gonna be slaughtered if | offend someoneunknowingly.| muttered inwardly.

Mustering my courage, | spoke, "Hello Uncle. Can you show me a low-grade sword under 3000R"."Just give me a minute.

Glancing around, the man picked three swords from the display and showed them.

"| have only three swords according to your budget."

| took the first sword, which was slightly curved; it was a short sword with a beautiful Damascuspattern. The second sword was somewhat heavy. | thought this would hinder me due to it's weight as my strength stat was too low.

The third sword's blade was black in colour. It was long, and the grip was comfortable. As |

looked closely.

| found its name on the scabbard.

Name: Orion

Rank: G

Description: Made by an unknown blacksmith.

Weapons can be made by blacksmiths or can be found in the dungeons.Weapons found or dropped by monsters are types of artifacts.

"How much is this?", | asked.

"2899R." Said the middle-aged man.

"| will take this.", | answered.

| bought the sword along with a dagger for emergencies and decided to spend my money onhealth kits and other things.

3100R was the amount of money left after my shopping. Once you enroll in the academy, exceptfor the enrollment fee, you don't have to spend other money, and everything inside the academy is free.

Sigh.

At least | don't have to worry about money once | enter the academy.

Checking everything, | went to the station to get on the train to go to the mist city.

The station looked packed, and people were moving with the small pad that gets on entering the station.

You can use it to move fast with comfort if you are lazy. The shape of the train doesn't look muchdifferent from the bullet trains | have seen, except it has thrusters instead of wheels which helps the train stabilise in the air.

The interior was nice and cosy, and the seat was much softer and spacious, with some soda and energy bars at the side.

Stretching my back comfortably, | sat down, staring at rows of trains passing through the window.

A beautiful voice woke me up from my thoughts, warning me the train would start and please fasten my seat belts.

Ting~

The doors closed, and the train started moving. Although it kept a speed of almost 150-200km/hr,the seat | sat on felt steady with no shaking movement.

The three human kingdoms were much more significant even if put together the 7 continents onearth. The mist city was approximately 450 km away from the capital at the Northern border ofthe Knight Kingdom.

| took out the bar from the corner of the seat, admiring the green and beautiful scenery out of thewindow, deciding to take a short nap as it would take two to three hours for the train to reach theMist city.
