Earth, March 2029
Everything was in ruins, every country was going through crises because it was world war 3, unlike any war that took place, this was the worst of them all because this is the first time humans used their strongest weapons to destroy their enemy, The 'hydrogen bomb'. They say it is hundred times more powerful than any atomic bomb, but they were wrong, not a hundred it was more than a thousand times more destructive and they have mass produced this thing and they went on a full scale war against each other using bio-weapons was no exception, every small country fell while using bio weapons and atomic bombs, while the larger and powerful countries were still standing tall not willing to back down as a result they used their most prizes weapons against each other. As a result the whole planet was in ruins, there wasn't a single place which had breathable air left, every place was filled with nuclear radiation and that's how humans went extinct.
Everything was dark, there was no sound, no sense of smell, no sense of touch, everything was empty. Then suddenly everything became white his senses were back and he was himself "what happened? and where am I? How much time passed? I thought i-" he wasn't done sorting things out suddenly he heard a voice "8973663736th come forward" and then he saw in front of themself was a figure in black, it has no face no clothes it's pitch black and he was sure it wasn't there until a moment ago "who are you?" He asked and then the figure replied "you died on the planet called earth and it's your time to get reincarnated, and of course you can choose not to and instead you can rest eternally"
"Rest eternally? What's that supposed to mean and who are you?" He asked with an expressionless voice.
(it was all happening in the first person view)
The figure replied "you will be sent in a place where you can rest and it is not like sleeping, you will be comfortable and you will feel complete and it's the state everyone ends up in and there is no exception, yes it's different for everyone because some still chose to reincarnate in a different world because they were not satisfied from how things end and they can reincarnate every time they die but there will come a time where they want to rest in peice because when someone reincarnate possess their past life's memories , so it's upto you which path you will chose"
"I want to reincarnate" said the boy
"So you want to reincarnate, then I have an offer to make and of course you can reject it's up to you" said the figure
"What is it?" Asked the boy
"There are many worlds in the entire multiverse and there are many worlds that are about to end like your world and we don't want that so it's also our job to save the worlds to come to an end because if a world ends then it's our job to guide them and that's troublesome, so if you agree you have to protect the world and you can get one thing you that will help you in saving the world and if you can't save the world you will be sent to the Emptiness for all eternity so choose wisely"
"And why should I accept? I mean what will I get?" Asked the boy
"Hmm, if you succeed you will be granted any one wish" said the figure
"Hmm, first tell me about the world and how it will end then I will decide" said the boy
"Very well, the world I am going to send you is very well known to you earthlings because it has magic, martial arts , different races, there are monsters. And about the ending, it will end during the great orthodox and unorthodox war, especially the mages, they don't have hydrogen bombs but they had spells and they used those to destroy each other and that's how it ended, so what will it be?" Asked the figure.
'hmm, if it's this it will be troublesom- wait it said I can take any one thing that will help me right? Then it's doable' he thought and asked the figure "can I take anything I want with me?"
"Not really, you can't take any physical objects you can take powers, like a special skill and things like that " said the black figure
"Then can I take information?" Asked the boy.
"Hmm? Well information is certainly possible, so what kind of information do you want?"
"I want every information about martial arts techniques, breathing techniques, cultivation techniques, magic related to every information like spells, how to cultivate as a mage, forbidden spells, magic engineering. In other words every information about magic, martial arts from the past, present and future. And I want every information from my original world to from past, present, and future." Said the boy.
"Hmm that much is not impossible but how will you store the information?" Asked the figure
"I need Photographic memory and I want to remember every information."said the boy.
"Hmm,I see then it's decided, are you ready?" Asked the figure.
"Wait- where will I be reincarnated?" Asked the boy.
"Hm? I was about to reincarnate as an heir of a powerful family, is there something wrong with that?" Asked the figure
"Can you transmigrate me as an orphan who is around 16 years?" Asked the boy.
"What? Are you serious? Well it's not impossible but are you sure you don't want to be a part of a powerful family?" Asked the figure.
"Yeah I will be fine" the boy said
"Oh boy... Very well get ready" said the figure and snapped his fingers .
Then suddenly the boy's vision went dark and he realized his eyes were closed and when he opened his eyes he was in a room with a single bed and a study table with it, the room was not so big and not so small.
"Hmm, so this is my new body huh.." as he said that many memories came flooded in his mind, it was all the information he wanted and his new body's previous owner's memories. As the memories came flooded in he felt like his head was splitting apart and he fell on the floor unable to say a word and the pain was so bad he was about to pass out, a few minutes later everything became normal and his was drowning in his sweat as if he was running in a marathon. He then recalled this body's memories.
'hmm, So my name is Albert and I am currently in a city called 'City A25' it is an average sized city and it is under the Orthodox union, so in this world territories with letter 'A' are under the Orthodox union and the cities with letter 'B' are under the unorthodox union, and I am currently an academy student in the 3rd Orthodox academy in this city, and I am an orphan that's good, that way I don't have to worry about anything holding me back, hmm? what's this? It seems this body's previous owner is pretty pathetic, he has below average talent in both magic and martial arts and he was still chasing a girl and not any girl but the rising star... And no one bothers to even bully him because it was a waste of their time, and worst of them all that girl is in my next room! What a pain! Why would the rising star be in the next room of a trash? This academy's standards are very poor.. anyways so I am just a no one in this world... So I have to become strong to stop this world's destruction."
He said and noticed he was all wet because he was sweating so much so he took a bath in the men's bath next to the building.
He was in the corridor and noticed the rising star Alicia Crudes, she had crimson red hair, white skin, black eyes, a perfect figure, and she is a waking goddess to any student, the Crudes family was one of the 4 great families in this city and she was the heir of that family.
'hmm so this is the so called rising star huh?, form my memories she made a breakthrough and currently is a 2nd grade martial artist, well that explains why this bitch is so popular, anyways I don't give a fuck about this bitch' she was walking towards him to go somewhere and Albert simply ignored her and went is his dorm, she looked at him with a curious eyes, then she shook her head and left.
Back in Albert's room "since I don't have classes Tomorrow I will increase my strength, from the information I have sorted out the best cultivation techniques and it has the best efficiency."
In this world there are two paths: mage and martial artist and mages power scaling follows circle system and martial arts power system follows grade system and currently in a whole world there is no one who reached 9th circle in magic and 9th grade martial arts, every grade and circle have 3 sub stages: entry,true,peak , and it seems no one can tell someone's level who is stronger than them by 1 level like a 4th circle mage can't tell a 5th circle mage's power level.
"From what I know mage and martial arts can co-exist but that was so hard that if anyone can do it they are called genius. But in the future from 1000 years later that was common and I have the perfect cultivation techniques that can cultivate both internal energy that is located in the lower abdomen and magic which is collected in the heart to form circles." He sat in the lotus position to cultivate.
"This technique is called 'universal origin arts' it contains breathing technique, an energy cultivation technique and uses them to form synergy between the heart and the lower abdomen." He started the breathing technique to absorb energy and it is the best breathing technique he has and it can absorb energy 3 times faster and pure energy compared to any other breathing technique that exists in the present, then he guided the absorbed energy to go through some specific pressure points and then then equally distributed the energy to settle in the heart and the lower abdomen, using this method both energy doesn't fight among each other instead they help each other to gain more power. He continued this for the whole night and when he was finished it was 10 am in the morning.
"Phew...! That was intense! I finally reached 2nd grade in martial arts and 2nd circle in magic" then suddenly smelt a bad stench "what the fuck is this smell?" Then he noticed his body was covered in some black and greenish guu "hmm.. I guess this is the impurities I had in my body.." then he wiped his body with a towel.
"This towel is not useful anymore and I should buy a new- wait since I am a 2nd circle mage I can use that spell!" Then he put the towel in front of him and started casting a spell, it took him less than 2 seconds to cast "clean" as he said a magic circle appeared on top of the towel and in a blink the towel was completely new, "wow! This is so convenient I don't have to waste my time washing clothes anymore, then let's clean up as well!" Then he cast the same spell on himself and it didn't take as long as before and he was perfectly clean.
