Chapter 1
The marble floor of the Silverpeak Battle Academy’s Grand Dining Hall reflected the mid-morning light with unforgiving clarity, highlighting every speck of dust. Alex Vex was on his knees, scrubbing the floor with a threadbare, gray rag that should have been discarded weeks ago.His uniform was cheap, ill-fitting denim—the non-sanctioned attire for the lowest-paid, unranked maintenance staff. He was nineteen years old, and he was scrubbing away the muddy footprint of a twelve-year-old student who had just purchased his first elemental focus wand.A soft, almost musical laugh drifted over from the high-backed velvet booths reserved for the Academy’s elite.“Look at him. Did you know the Lin family actually pays him a stipend? It’s not much, but enough for rice and water, apparently,” whispered one voice, laced with disdain.“He is Lin Mei’s husband, after all,” replied another, harsher voice. “The shame-shield. Who else would marry a man with a zero-mana core? They keep him around so t

Alex Vex arrived at the Annex Building twenty minutes before his first mandatory lecture. The Annex was the architectural equivalent of a sneer: a squat, concrete block hastily attached to the glittering, magi-tech main campus. While the main Academy was powered by self-sustaining mana crystals, the Annex relied on flickering fluorescent lights and the grudging patience of the campus maintenance crew.This was the realm of Class F.He located Lecture Hall 7. Inside, twenty students were lounging, their attitudes ranging from sullen resignation to bitter antagonism. This was the bottom tier—the rejects, the academically challenged, and the unfortunate few whose mana cores were simply too weak to register a decent output. They were the guaranteed failures the Academy admitted purely to boost enrollment numbers.The moment Alex walked in, the murmuring stopped. Every eye in the room landed on his cheap, unscorched denim.“Look, it’s the janitor,” spat a voice from the back.The speaker w

The silence in the holographic training room was absolute, broken only by the shuddering breaths of twenty paralyzed students. The Level 30 Armored Orc Warlord knelt on one knee, its massive, spiked head bowed. The guttural sound it had emitted wasn't a roar of aggression, but a message in a dead language: a military protocol command.“General Protocol 7. Target: The Unstable Core. Command: Await Signal.”The students had no context for the words, but the sheer size of the Orc and its sudden submission was terrifying.In the control room, Professor Silas was frantic. His face had gone from pale to a sickly green. He wasn’t looking at the Orc; he was staring at the blinking red console lights and the transcript of the Orc’s voice.“T-t-terminate simulation! Emergency termination!” Silas shrieked, slamming his fist repeatedly onto the console’s button.The system ignored him. The emergency termination function, designed for scenarios far less severe than this, was locked. The Orc remain

The Dean’s Office was silent, choked by the chilling, synthesized command that had boomed from the walls.“Subject 001. You will be recycled.”Elder Lin, clutching his head, stared at the figure of Eric, the Student Council Vice-President. The arrogance was gone, replaced by a terrifying, robotic blankness. The faint red glow in Eric’s eyes mirrored the one Alex had seen on the Armored Orc Warlord.“Eric? What is this madness?” Elder Lin stammered, scrambling away from the door.Alex Vex didn't waste time on questions.[Threat Level Assessment: Eric. Status: Compromised. Control Node: Central Nervous System (Hypothalamus override). Threat Action: Imminent kinetic burst (Unarmed Takedown Protocol, Level 3). Recommended Response: Counter-kinetic Overload.]Eric moved. He didn't use a spell; he used pure, focused kinetic force—a martial arts style completely unknown to this world, designed for one-on-one assassination. He lunged across the desk with hyper-efficient speed, his hands aimed

The name, whispered by Lin Mei, felt like a spike driven into the Aethelian AI Core inside Alex’s chest.Jia.Alex’s facial expression remained cold, but his internal processes registered a near-fatal spike in threat assessment. The Archangel was not just a powerful combat unit; it was a unit associated with the current timeline, and possibly with the Lin family's pawn, Lin Mei.The shadow that fell across the Dean’s Office was no longer just the hole in the ceiling. It was the Archangel itself, a figure dropping silently from the sky through the fractured ceiling.The figure landed with a soft thud that cracked the marble floor further. It was feminine, cloaked in jet-black tactical armor that seemed to absorb all light, yet moved with liquid, inhuman grace. Her face, partially obscured by a dark visor, was severe and beautiful, and her presence made the room’s ambient mana instantly dense and cold."Subject 002," Alex stated, his gaze fixed on the Archangel. "Designation: Jia."The

The descent was swift and absolute. The steel platform beneath Alex’s feet dropped into a shaft that smelled of ozone and damp, ancient stone. The lights of the Annex Building had died, plunging the vertical shaft into perfect, suffocating darkness.“All surviving Legacy Units in proximity, prepare for activation. Initiate Core Defense Protocol.” Jia’s command echoed one last time, synthetic and cold, before the silence of the underground consumed the sound.Alex’s internal systems, however, were wide awake.[Perception Mode: Activated. Infrared, Sonar, and Kinetic Vibration Mapping Engaged.]In his enhanced vision, the darkness was irrelevant. He saw the cold outlines of the shaft walls, the heat signature of the platform’s ancient motor, and, far above, the faint, residual thermal wake of Jia where she stood at the entrance. More importantly, he registered a series of sudden, agitated kinetic signatures moving in the walls surrounding the shaft.Legacy Units are moving within the ma

The Core was screaming.The pulse—the deep thump-thump that resonated through the ancient stone—was no longer a rhythm; it was a desperate, erratic hammering. The Core was oscillating wildly, and the massive sphere of destructive mana crackling in the hands of High-Guard Antares was only making the energy crisis worse.Jia descending. Antares launching. Core near-failure. Time to reaction: 0.1 seconds.Alex Vex executed Evasion Protocol Alpha—a counter-intuitive move that prioritized tactical acquisition over self-preservation.He did not dodge Antares's blast. He moved directly toward the conduit feeding the spell.He launched himself into the air, not with a jump, but by using a micro-burst of kinetic energy fired into the stone floor, propelling him like a missile toward the wall. Antares, programmed to eliminate threats, reflexively tracked him, and the massive sphere of mana fired, screaming through the air behind Alex.Alex slapped the conduit. The ancient, carved stone pipe con

The deafening shriek of the Unstable Core was the sound of a reactor tearing itself apart. The massive steel door, driven by Jia's ruthless efficiency, was grinding shut, reducing the exit to a foot-wide sliver.Alex Vex was sealed inside the chamber of annihilation.High-Guard Antares, realizing Jia had betrayed her to contain the explosion, abandoned her focus on Alex and rushed the closing door, screaming rage.“Jia! You traitor! I will tear you apart!” Antares roared, slamming her armored shoulder against the steel, trying to force the gap open.Alex didn't watch her. He had precisely ten seconds before the Core reached critical mass.He focused entirely on the reactor in the center of the room. The crystalline mana mass was surging violently, threatening to detonate like a miniature sun.[Protocol: Manual Core Stabilization. Required Action: Inject counter-frequency kinetic pulse into three anchor points simultaneously.]The anchors were the massive conduits Jia had targeted. The

The cyan glow of the Aethelian Fusion Reactor provided the only light in the cavernous Core Chamber. The deep, destructive thump was gone, replaced by a rhythmic, calming hum—the sound of infinite, stable power.Alex Vex stood beside the massive crystalline Core, his hands resting on the smooth, cold surface of the nearest anchor pylon. He was trapped, sealed by a massive steel door jammed with the body of High-Guard Antares, but he was surrounded by the raw blueprints of a dead, superior civilization.He needed to escape. Demolition was impossible; any use of explosives would trigger the Core’s fail-safe and destroy the city. He needed a precise, targeted, kinetic force application that could shear meter-thick steel without damaging the structural integrity of the surrounding bedrock.He closed his eyes and initiated a deep, sustained Core Data Link via his Subject 001 implants.The knowledge flooded him: detailed schematics of the Aethelian power grid, the complex math behind kineti

The colossal creature of shifting shadow energy, the Umbral Predator, lunged with silent, terrifying speed. Its tendrils of black, ancient mana scraped the air, leaving trails of burning ozone. The sheer pressure of its approach was enough to make Lin Mei gasp, sinking to her knees in paralyzing fear.“Core Energy. High Concentration. We have waited a thousand cycles for this feeding.”Alex Vex reacted instantly, his body moving not to protect himself, but to shield the Archive Key Holder—Lin Mei.He shoved Lin Mei hard, propelling her behind the thick, scorched trunk of the oak tree. The Shadow Beast’s jaws, lined with needle-like teeth of condensed darkness, snapped shut exactly where Lin Mei had been standing a millisecond before.The Umbral Predator turned its attention fully to Alex, its form rippling in frustration. It was a creature of the Outer Dark, a pure mana siphon, and it registered Alex's core energy signature as the most valuable sustenance in the entire city.Alex rais
