Chapter 2 - The World of Aetheria

In the grand library, Chen HaoYu can be seen sitting at one of the tables reading a book named [The History of Aetheria].

...

Aeon Wisps was said to have been born along side the chaos and it is said that primordial creatures were born when the Aeon Wisps disappear from the chaos. They are ethereal beings that drift through the reality and illusion, their forms ever-changing with chaos energy enveloping them making them like one of the chaos energy, rendering them indistinguishable from the chaos energy.

Legend has it that the Aeon Wisps are the guardians of the primordial chaos, existing at the threshold between existence and oblivion. They are said to possess the knowledge of ages past, their whispers carrying the echoes of forgotten realms and lost knowledge of the universe.

Some believe that the Aeon Wisps hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of the universe, their presence a reminder of the vast, unfathomable depths that lie beyond the realm of the universe. Those who seek them out risk losing themselves to the chaos, their minds consumed by the infinite expanse of eternity, never to return!

As the primordial creatures were born and became many the Aeon Wisps slowly disintegrated from the world, only the elders of the primordial creatures remembered them and seeks to find them to gain knowledge and understanding of the mystery of the universe.

But as the time moves on and eras unfolded, the Aeon Wisps had became a legend among Legends. Even the primordial creatures and other ancient creatures of the past eras had become a mystery.

Now it's the modern era, where it emphasizes towards spiritual magic, arrays, and nurturing magic pets. This era promotes harmony and balance in both the physical and spiritual realms, with a focus on cultivating higher realms of existence and seeking knowledge beyond.

The world he is in is called Aetheria were magic is the norm and supernatural creatures roam the world.

There are different types of people: Swordsmen, Mages, Summoners, Array Masters, Artificers, Assassins, Alchemists, Marksmen, and Healers.

...

2 hours later.

"Huu... That's a lot of information!" Chen HaoYu closed the ten thousand pages book.

"Now I need to know about those professions and about the magical energy."

Putting the [The History of Aetheria] aside he picked up [Fundamentals of the Magical Energy].

...

In this world, there are different types of energy. They are:

1. Magical Energy: This is the basic universal energy that serves as the foundation for all magical practices and usage.

2. Elemental Energy: Similar to Magical Energy, but it is attuned to a specific element such as fire, water, earth, or air.

3. Cosmic Energy: Derived from the power of the stars and the cosmos, Cosmic Energy is imbued with the mysteries of space and time.

4. Divine Energy: The embodiment of purity and righteousness. Those who wield Divine Energy can perform miracles, dispel darkness, and bring blessings to the faithful.

5. Dark Energy: The opposite of Divine Energy, Dark Energy is steeped in malevolence and corruption. Users of Dark Energy wield powers of necromancy, curses, and other evil powers to further their dark agendas.

6. Nature Energy: This energy is unique to summoners and is derived from the Natural World. It allows summoners to communicate with nature, manipulate plant life, and summon creatures from the Natural World to aid them in their fights.

7. Chaos Energy: A mysterious and elusive form of energy that is said to be chaotic and uncontrollable. It is rumored that Chaos Energy cannot be obtained through conventional means and that one must be born with it. Despite extensive research, Chaos Energy remains a subject of debate and speculation, as no one has been able to harness its power.

Everyone has a spiritual root that determines their affinity for magic. Typically, children undergo a ritual at the age of seven to determine their spiritual root.

One will be able to know their affinity to magic when the glass sphere circulate their magic energy through the help of the tester and changes it's color according to the database.

1. When the color of the energy swirling inside the glass sphere turned milky white, it is a sign of Magical Energy.

2. The color of the energy turned Red Orange symbolizing Fire, Deep Blue for Water, Brown for Earth, and Green for Air.

3. The inside of the sphere became a starry night full of twinkling stars is a sign of Cosmic Energy.

4. The color turned Gold symbolizing Divine Energy which the Celestial beings have since born.

5. The energy turned eerily black is a symbol of Dark Energy.

6. The color of the energy turned light green and winds swirling around the surroundings with a sweet smell to it is a sign of Nature Energy.

7. No info data for Chaos Energy at the moment.

...

Closing the book, he muttered to himself, "I wonder what's my affinity with magic?"

Since he didn't have any memories, he could only try everything step by step and determine what he should do next.

Then he opened another book named [A Comprehensive Guide to Professions] and started reading.

...

In this world where everyone can use magic, most people have different professions even if their not adventurers and just an ordinary people.

There are 9 types of professions known in this world, they are: Swordsman, Mage, Summoner, Array Master, Artificer, Alchemists, Marksman, and a Healer.

And each professions are divided into 9 ranks with each 7 levels in it.

People start learning in-depth magic when they go to high school. For children who has not yet reached high school they'll only be learning other fundamentals subject and teachers would let them see some shows from the high school or other events to broaden their horizon about magic and professions.

...

Chen HaoYu knew the professions because he was an avid novel reader but seeing a new word called Artificers, he wondered about this professions and continued reading.

...

Artificers: Artificers are skilled artisans who specializes in creating enchanted artifacts and potions. They use their knowledge of magic arrays and craftsmanship to craft powerful and intricate artifacts. Or in other terms, a Blacksmith.

Array Masters: Array masters specialize in creating and using magic formations called arrays. They understand how to manipulate magical energy to produce effects like shields and illusions. They're strategic thinkers who spend time experimenting with different array patterns to achieve their desired results.

...

"Ooh! So that's what it is!"

Closing the book, he looked at the time. It was already night time. It has been 6 hours since he started reading.

"Man now I just need to know my magic affinity to start experimenting! I miss my phone ugh..."

Standing up and returning the books, he looked at the young lady in the reception table seemingly meditating before leaving the library.

"I hope I can start cultivating! Even though I don't know how I got here in the first place!"

Even though he was excited, he couldn't help sighing and feeling sad because the only family he have left in the previous world is his grandpa and now he left him.

"I wonder how grandpa is... I think that I may have died while I was asleep and now he should have known about it. Sigh, but here the mom and dad of this guy is so similar to mine and even my name and appearance are the same. I feel like it's a parallel dimensions. Haha!"

"Well... There's nothing I can do but since I've been given a new life by coming here, then I'm going to use it to the fullest!" Clenching his fist, he started planning on becoming an Artificer to create artifacts that will help him in this world and perhaps even might be able to help him see if he can communicate with his previous world.
