Chapter 2 - Recursia

I decide to head out and explore the academy. I restore my sword and I head out.

As soon as I exit the dorm I scan the place and my eyes widen in amazement.

"It's huge… I wrote the academy to be big but seeing it in reality makes it look massive and this is only the lower dorm rooms"

As I stay standing and looking in awe I notice Nox. Smiling, handsome and kind.

"Such a average system novel character…"

Nox then looks my way and smiles. Causing me to look slightly shocked but I force a smile back

"Damnit he already noticed me… guess I'll have to stay low"

As I start to explore I find the library. I walk inside.

"Gah- it's so big! The library is even bigger than I thought…"

I walk around looking at all sorts of books. Then I stumble upon the history section.

I walk around the history section until I find a book titled. "The beginning of mana entry and nova heroes"

"Intriguing… guess I'll read it"

I open the book to the first page titled "The Adola" so I start reading

"Adola is a supernatural power that manifests directly from the soul—its nature depends on the person's inner self, often shaped by their trauma or emotions. It grants powerful abilities but relies on mana as both fuel and cost"

"Mana only entered the world after the Adola Veil, a protective barrier around Earth, shattered. This event unleashed demons from other realms and infected Earth's animals, turning them into beasts. These beasts now inhabit gates and dungeons, which act as pocket dimensions"

"With mana's arrival, Skills began appearing. These rare powers can only be obtained by killing beasts, and even low-rank (G-rank) skills are extremely valuable"

"Powerful combat techniques are stored in special books called Manuels, ranked from Nova Star 1 to 5. Low-star Manuels are common and cheap, but higher-star ones—especially 5-star—are incredibly rare and often dangerous to own. Opening a Manuel instantly transfers its knowledge into your mind. Skills from Manuels can be improved through mastery stages: Beginner → Intermediate → Expert → Master. Manuels come in many types—offensive, defensive, speed-based and even reaction type Manuel's"

"The demon leader Lord Veyrion Of The Eclipsed Sin is currently injured, delaying a full invasion. However, demons form contracts with humans, granting them power while keeping their appearance intact. Demons are divided into Sin Clans—Pride, Sloth, Lust, Gluttony, Wrath—each with related sub-clans (e.g., Arrogance from Pride)"

I close the book and sigh before I check the time on my phone.

"Most of this history is just basic stuff. It's been an hour already… guess I better get going"

I get up and leave the library to where I stumble upon the cafeteria which is also massive and I decide to get some food. I go up to the serving line and I get my food.

"Mashed potato, steak and some greens…" I take a bite of the steak and my eyes widen in satisfaction "this is expected of a high level academy"

I scarf down the food making it seem like I hadn't eaten in days before returning the food tray and headed back to my dorm

As I get back to the dorm I collapse onto the bed and sigh "Its Tuesday… the week before school officially starts meaning I've got the school tour tomorrow…"

"I guess I should go train…"

Knowing I have a week left to train I jolt up and run out of the school to the train station to head to Dusmira the capital of the country as in there forest there I may be able to get my hands on a 5 nova star Manuel.

As you know there are 5 of the 5 nova star Manuel's and they are Beautiful Requiem and its main is reflex then for offence there is Crimson Apex this one is the hardest to master as most who try almost always fail and lose their sanity and their body breaks.

For defence there is Iron Law, for stamina there is Eternal Breath and for speed there is Flash Vein. The one I'm going to get is Beautiful Requiem. People describe it as water flowing and that it's beautiful hence the name beautiful Requiem.

I look out of the trains window to see all the beautiful greenary a complete difference to the old dull look of my old world "life is fragile like a piece of glass… I won't drop it again"

I finally get to Dusmira and I step off the train. "I guess it's time to go" I head off into the new land.
