Transmigrated into another world with the strongest core
In a world where magic is measured, controlled, and bound to the very essence of life, Lucas awakens in a body that is not his own. Transplanted into the life of a prodigious mage, he must navigate the elite halls of Eldoria Academy, where every spell is a test, and every friend may conceal a secret.
Under the watchful guidance of Elera, his childhood friend and a prodigy in her own right, Lucas begins to unravel the mysteries of Aether, the lifeblood of magic itself. Yet the deeper he delves into its secrets the tiers, the cores, and the forces that shape reality the heavier the responsibility grows.
Beyond the academy, threads of intrigue tighten. Mira, a brilliant researcher, has crossed the line between discovery and danger, and the shadowy figures who orchestrated her disappearance are watching. Among them, the truth of Lucas’s existence is known, and their plans threaten to upend everything he believes about himself.
As allies clash, secrets unravel, and the weight of Aether presses down, Lucas must confront a question no mage has ever faced: can a soul borrowed from another world wield power without losing itself?
This is a tale of magic, identity, and the fragile line between destiny and choice.

Chapter: Chapter 12: Pressure in the ArenaThe moment the boy spoke, the air shifted.It was not dramatic. There was no flare of light, no violent surge of Aether. Yet Lucas felt it instantly, like a weight pressing against his chest from the inside. His Core reacted before his mind did, tightening as if bracing for impact.The short boy stepped closer, his black hair slightly unkempt, his expression calm to the point of indifference. His eyes moved from Gerald to Roderic, then finally settled on Lucas. He did not smile.“You are training early,” the boy said. His voice was quiet, but it carried.Gerald straightened immediately. “This space is free. We are not breaking any rules.”“I know,” the boy replied. “I did not come to complain.”Roderic frowned. “Then what do you want?”The boy tilted his head slightly, studying Lucas as though the others were no longer present. “I wanted to confirm something.”Lucas felt the pressure increase. His Aether stirred on its own, spreading thinly across his body. The fire on his wooden swor

Chapter: Chapter 11: First combat trainingThey arrived at the arena, it was big, different students were there all training.Lucas looked around, he saw different classes, he saw some people training swords “They are magic swordsmen just like me” he thought to himself.Some were archers, some with spears, some with shields and some just training normal magic.“Let's go to the other side, it's not in use,” Roderic said, pointing to a corner in the arena.“Alright” they both replied, as they were walking towards it Lucas looked at two guys training together without comprehension he could tell they were strong, then he saw one do something with his sword that at first he couldn't comprehend.It looked like he filled his sword with something like an aura, “that is an aura sword I've only seen in movies and anime back in my real world, I would like to try that” he thought to himself.Then the sword began to glow and a slash from it was very powerful and traveled far, Lucas could only look surprised.“That is one of the top student

Chapter: Chapter 10: Morning CurrentsSunlight spilled through the tall windows of the dormitory, painting the floor in warm streaks. Lucas woke to the sound of distant footsteps and the faint hum of magic in the walls. Eldoria never truly slept. He stretched, feeling the residual weight of Aether from the previous night still lingering in his chest, subtle but insistent.By the time he had dressed and stepped into the hallway, Roderick and Gerald were already there, waiting. Roderick’s dark hair caught the sunlight as he leaned casually against the wall, smirking. Gerald’s grey hair was slightly tousled, but his sharp eyes were already scanning for threats, old habits dying hard.“Finally awake,” Roderick said, tilting his head. “I was starting to think you had decided to become one with your bed.”Lucas grinned, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. “You’re early. Did something happen?”“Nope,” Gerald said with a faint smile. “We just thought we would make sure our resident Paragon does not wander off and get into trouble be

Chapter: Chapter 9: Threads Beneath the VeilThe place they gathered was nowhere that could be mapped.Aether folded in on itself, forming a hollow space where sound did not echo and time felt thin. The air shimmered faintly, dense with compressed energy that obeyed only those present.“She has settled in well,” one of them said.A tall figure leaned against a pillar of drifting light, arms crossed. “As expected. Fear was never going to hold her. Curiosity did.”Another voice scoffed. “The academy believes she was taken by force. Desperate fools.”“Belief is a tool,” the tall figure replied. “And they swallowed it whole.”A pause.“And the boy?” a woman asked. Her tone was sharp, calculating. “The one wearing Lucas’s face.”The tall figure’s lips curved slightly. “He is not Lucas. That much is certain.”“That soul does not belong to this world,” another said. “We felt it the moment the Paragon interfered. A foreign echo bound into a dead Core.”“So the transfer succeeded,” the woman said. “Even after her death.”“Yes,” he replie

Chapter: Chapter 8: Nothing out of the ordinaryLucas' eyes opened back and he saw Roderick right ahead of him calling him, but this time, he wasn't on the floor or having pain after returning. “Has my body adapted that fast?” he thought to himself.“Lucas, why are you just standing there?” Rodrick asked “common let's start going”.“Sorry”Lucas apologized “I just had a slight headache” he said while smiling.“You sure have not been feeling well lately, you should take your training lightly. I know you want to surpass Elara and become the next paragon, but don't destroy your body.”Roderick said with a worried expression.“Thanks for the advice Rodrick,” Lucas replied while holding Rodrick's shoulder “You are a good friend infact all of you are. I'll do my best to make you all stop worrying about me.” They both laughed. “That was weird dude,”Rodrick said while laughing.“I know” Lucas replied while also laughing “I didn't think about how it sounded different in my head”Then they both stopped laughing but the mood was now different

Chapter: Chapter 7: Echoes of a Borrowed SoulLucas came back to the world still only hearing faint sounds, his head aching and vision blurred.Sound returned first a dull ringing, like metal struck underwater. Then weight. His limbs felt wrong, heavy and distant, as though they belonged to someone else. The hum of the academy’s wards bled into his skull, uneven, distorted.He sucked in a breath and nearly choked on it.Aether flooded his senses all at once, not rushing through him like it should, but pressing against him testing, probing. His Core reacted instinctively, tightening, reshaping itself around the pressure without his consent.“Easy.” Elara’s voice cut through the noise, sharp with restraint. Her hand hovered near his chest, not touching, but close enough for her to use her Aether to calm him down. “Do not draw it in.”Lucas forced himself to still. The pressure resisted, then slowly stopped, like a tide withdrawing after finding no shore.He finally felt alright, he looked around and saw that head was on Elara’s la
