Gin!!! gin!!! gin!!!

hey! wake up...you have been asleep for 3 hours now...we have to go back to your house, your mom's waiting...said Rossio, gin's friend...Eric, on opening his eyes, flashing of memories from gin starting coming in...then he remembered about everything and where he was...

Actually the continent, Yangxi is the only surviving place for the remaining humans existing...and life is harder each day with the dark beasts attacks...

Yangxi is divided in to seven region, which are Zion, the largest and richest of all, Tongyi, karlyi, Brityn, songyi, gushyi, zoan...as though beast were not enough, Evil organisations like the Black pitch and the Devil swamp...also harrass citizen and commit all sorts of criminal activities.

Rich towns like Zion have cultivators and highly advanced security and alchemy making it difficult for foes to attack on them.

The principal activities in the whole continent are basically Farming, Army or cultivation and Alchemy...

As usual the poor, lurk around farming and the rich, alchemy...

Here in Shogo...i am in a school for apprentice alchemist since i could'nt awaken my Bris...cultivators all round the continent have different levels of cultivation and different path of cultivation...To make it simple a Bris is the inner magical and spiritual ability of an individual...since it is divided into magical and spiritual...warriors donot possess bris and those who possess are called Elemental Spiritualist...since they dont have any sensitivity to magic and spirit.

Magical indexes range from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo to violet(roygbiv) having seven ranges with red the weakest magical unit and violet the strongest magical unit.

On the other hand spiritual deals with elements and spirits...each element possessing a spirit. There exist a wide range of spirit elementals depending on their powers and type of element...

To access the powers of an element, you need to create a pact with the spirit, be it voluntary or involuntary...some go as far as to capture spirit and subject them to several experiments. There exist a spirit king but it even rare to see it, talk less of creating a pact with it...

Cultivation levels depending on your magical powers include the PI level, which is the lowest, the Ti level, the guardian level, the cosmos level, the Divine level.

Each level is divided in to 5 realms/layers...

I am not even roughly in the first layer of the pi level...Rossio here is in the 4 realm of the pi level...i never thought i would be this weak in my life...so its time start all over, and this time around i will not out grow my friends in cultivation...but rather enjoy growing along with them...

Hum...hey gin, you acting strange, says rossio...its okay friend, we are going to be the best in this martial world...says gin..

you and your dreams again, try awakening your bris to start with(smirks while looking gin's serious and resolved face)...okay then, am counting on you (both laugh)

Leaving the outskirts of shogo...they headed straight to gin's house...and both enjoyed a great meal from gin's mom, Maria...she was abandonned by her family after hearing her pregnancy, and had to escape from Tongyi, where her family stay...One of the most wealthiest household in Tongyi...the Kuchiki family.

Hey gin's i have to go back home so we shall see ourselves tomorrow at the academy said rossio...Goodnight gin, goodnight madam kuchiki and thanks for the meal said rossio(and he left rapidly)

Rossio is a nice kid take good care of him, said gin's mom, you must be tired have some rest, i will cleanup everything, goodnight mom...said gin

Thanks son, goodnight.

After some minutes of clean...gin enters his room and on changing...something strange fall off his dress...

What!! It's the...Scroll?!!!

What!!!Its the...scroll?!!

I thought it was lost, since i died...to think that it would follow me even after death.

This scroll was found found in the ruins of the great Emperor Shao xang's palace...Emperor of the yangxi continent...back then i thought i would died from the amount of traps just in the royal stash to get it...

This emperor was surely the most influencial and one of the most powerful in terms of cultivation...and if i ciuld remember clearly, he was also the only human who was personally chosen by the spirit king of metals...but record says that when he died the spirit pact was cancelled and the spirit disappeared till this day.

Spirit kings are basically hidden in secret forests that appear once every 200 years...even in my past life i could'nt get a hold of one. But i should definitely get one this time around.

So from what i see...the scroll's aura didnt change at all, its still this intimidating...oh!!!

My storage ring...(storage ring allows someone to keep in an excessive amount of things in the interspace dimension depending on your ring space...

lets see what is inside, hum...everything?!!everything from my past, from my martial arts books to the epic and cultivation manuals and weapons i had gather throughout my different adventures are still there.

This is becoming great...i should check out my spiritual essence and form as well as my magical essence...(spiritual essence will permit a person to determine the chance of creating a pact with a spirit and the form will determine the type of spirit he is most suitable to fuse with...) i think i should still have the spirit stones, lets see...(putting in spiritual energy and magical energy into the stone) woosh...hum...what?!!!am just of red magical essence about 31units(no wander am still at the 1st layer of pi, i need to be around 200 to 300 units to breakthrough to the 2nd layer atleast) and spiritual essence is void?...what's this?...spiritual form undetermine...this is bad(with a saddened face he squeezes the stone and gets back to his senses with a slap on his face)

It's fine, i can make it...lets try cultivating using the scroll and see if i can fill spiritual energy around me. tussssss....woosssh woah after just releasing my ki, i can feel some spiritual energy around at least am not a fighter...ouff thats reassuring to know.

Next, lets try meditation in my soul space using the magical and spiritual energy combine...and try to increase my soul space by absorbing all the energy around here...woosh

After around 2hours, gin succeeded in gathering around 1000 units of magical energy...but could not it yet because it would be suspicious since he had to test himself the next day before entering his class...to confirm he is just an alchemist and nothing more.

So after that exercise, gin went to sleep and the night went all fast till morning.

Gin...gin...gin wake up already, come have your breakfast or you will be late at school...said his mom. Opening his eyes, gin confirm that his awakening was not a dream and that he is not Eric of his past and has to build his a bright futur for himself and his friends.

SAAS...one of the most renown schools in shogo and in the whole of Zoan(actually shogo is found in Zoan) with various temples and alchemists of all sorts...Generally alchemists are classified in to 4 ranks.

We have the normal alchemist, the master alchemist, the grand master alchemist and finally the mythic alchemy. All these ranks have their experience, strength and knowledge...so alchemist are the most respected people in the whole continent. For now i think there should be only 4 grand masters in the whole continent minus me(who was pretending to be grand master, actually my knowledge had far passed grand master level) and no mythic alchemist.

Hum...this school is really impressive, i can see the way the infrastructures were built, it seems to be reinforced with special magic(thinking out).

Gin!!! gin!!!(gin turns and sees rossio from afar and approaches towards him)how are you doing asks rossio...not bad i tried resting yesterday after some cultivation.

so did you you breakthrough asks rossio, no am not even close.(gin)(actually i could, but lets take it easy for now) come lets go to our class(they both walked down to the main hall...and entered the normal apprentice class after being taken their different statistical energy that is both spiritual and magical energy)...class noisy...chitchat chit chat...

suddenly a teacher enters with the principal, every stand to greet and sit back...

The director greets all of them and announces the objectives of the school and the achievements they expect from students.

(principal talking)Hello everyone, welcome to saas, we have as objective building up the best alchemists in the whole of Zoan and while not of the whole comtinent...you will be taking 8hours classes every 3 days and 8hours practices the other 3 days and have a day to rest yourselves...starting today you have to read as many books as possible to buildup your knowledge in alchemy, so good luck to everyone on that...also every 3 months you will be required to participate in an interclass competition which will require you to atleast make use of the knowledge gathered and there is a high possibility of passing to the genius class and if you are extremely lucky, you could becoming a normal state alchemist.(everybody's eyes shined as they heard those words from the principal and their looks changed as they became serious)

(principal continues) ok kids...i will leave you to your first teacher so you can get to know each other...also if you have any questions about the school or anything else...you can meet me directly in my office after classes.(greets them as he walks out)

And hence the class starts with everyone focus as ever and me just staring at every corner of the class.(this new life could be interesting)

(Briefly the teacher gave a description of what alchemy is all about so every one could assimilate the class and get to ask question)

(teacher talking) as you all know...alchemy is basically changing materials or dirts in to gold or other useful resources...you could produce all sort of thinks taking into consideration the type of material you use...and the most important thing about alchemist how to control the fire you use in preparing you products....(after that he continued explaining for two more hours and we had to take a break).
