Chrono-Spatial Mage Transmigrated to Intergalactic age

Chapter 2: Awakening in a New Reality



Arion awakens on the cold, metallic floor of a futuristic dormitory. The room is sleek and minimalist, featuring a single bed with a shimmering fabric that shifts colors gently, a table with holographic interfaces, and a chair that seems to mold to his form. Large windows reveal a breathtaking view of a vibrant galaxy, with colorful nebulae swirling like cosmic art and distant stars twinkling in the vastness of space.

Arion blinks, disoriented, as he sits up slowly, his mind a swirl of confusion.

Arion Chronos: "What… where am I? I'm still alive?"

He glances around, taking in the stark modernity of his surroundings, his heart racing as he processes the unfamiliar environment. The air is charged with a strange energy, and he can hear distant sounds of machinery and voices echoing in the corridors outside.

He stands up unsteadily, still feeling the remnants of a battle coursing through his body, as if every fiber of his being vibrated with the echoes of a past confrontation. As he explores the room, his eyes are drawn to a dark spot on the table—it looks as though something had burned into the surface, a stark contrast to the otherwise pristine setting.

Arion Chronos: "What happened here?" He reaches out to touch the spot, and suddenly—sharp pain shoots through his head. He collapses to the ground, clutching his temples as memories flood back.

Visions rush into his mind—the tragic incident that changed everything. He sees himself as the old Arion, the one who had lived before his transmigration, filled with excitement and ambition just one day after his orientation at the academy.

Old Arion: "I can't wait to see what this crystal can do!"

He recalls the moment he decided to experiment with an unstable quantum energy crystal in his dorm room, eager to harness its potential. The air was thick with anticipation as he set up the equipment, the glow of the crystal promising untold power.

But then, the memory shifts. He sees the crystal flicker dangerously, a warning that the old Arion ignored in his eagerness.

Old Arion: "It's fine… it's just a minor fluctuation." The explosion erupts in his mind's eye—a blinding flash followed by a deafening roar. The shockwave sends him crashing against the walls, and chaos ensues. He sees the room engulfed in blinding light, the crystal's energy spiraling out of control.

He remembers the catastrophic chain reaction that unfolded, the energy spiraling out of control, engulfing everything in its wake. The last moments of the old Arion flash vividly in his mind—the realization of the impending doom, the panic, and the overwhelming power of the energy consuming him.

Old Arion: "No! What have I done?" As the energy engulfs him, the last sensation is one of weightlessness. And then—darkness

Amidst the chaos of his memories, another image emerges—Vyralith, a planet known for its intergalactic trade and cosmic exploration.

Arion Chronos: "Vyralith… the bustling hub of the galaxy…" He recalls the vibrant markets where merchants from countless species bartered and exchanged goods, their stalls overflowing with exotic wares. Creatures of every shape and color mingled together, creating a rich tapestry of life that fascinated him.

Vyralith was renowned for its spaceships, capable of traversing the cosmos with ease. The sleek designs of the vessels fascinated him; with their shimmering hulls and powerful engines, they darted through the stars like fish in a vast ocean.

He remembers the grand spaceports, bustling with activity, where travelers shared tales of distant worlds and adventures untold. The air was filled with the scent of alien spices and the sounds of laughter and trade, a symphony of life that made his heart race with excitement.

The planet's advanced technology was awe-inspiring. He recalls witnessing a transport beam that could transport goods and people across vast distances in the blink of an eye, a marvel that made him dream of exploration and discovery.

As the memories settle, Arion feels an overwhelming sense of gratitude. he has been given a second life.

Arion Chronos: "Portals? Spaceships? This is insane! I must have crossed into a new realm…" He stands, taking in the view from the window. The sight is awe-inspiring—spaceships of various designs zip through the cosmos, and colorful portals shimmer in the distance, connecting different worlds.

He can feel the pulse of this new reality, a vibrant fabric of existence woven from countless lives and stories. He realizes he has been given a second chance, an opportunity to explore the wonders of this universe.

Arion Chronos:

"I have a chance to start anew… to protect this world from threats."

This awareness ignites a fierce determination within him. With the knowledge and experiences from the old Arion's life, he understands the dangers lurking in the cosmos and the importance of being prepared.

But beyond the necessity of protection, Arion feels a powerful pull to explore this new world. The thought of embarking on adventures fills him with excitement.

Arion Chronos: "There's so much to see! I want to discover the mysteries of this universe, to experience its wonders firsthand."

He envisions himself traversing the landscapes of Vyralith, visiting its bustling cities, and exploring the uncharted realms beyond the stars. The idea of encountering new species, cultures, and technologies sends a thrill through him.

Arion realizes that his past experiences will make him a faster learner and a more capable protector of this new reality.

"I can train harder, faster, and smarter. I will not let the mistakes of the past dictate my future." As he recalls the memories of the old Arion, a new way to cultivate magic begins to crystallize in his mind—absorbing quantum energy from the very essence of the unstable crystal that had once been his downfall.

He envisions himself harnessing this power, converting the chaotic energy into a force of creation and destruction.

Arion Chronos: "If I can master this technique, I'll be able to elevate my abilities to unimaginable heights!" He imagines the potential of combining this newfound technique with traditional methods of cultivation, creating a unique path that merges the old with the new.
