Shackles Of Reality

Nebula Academy the first and best bloodline academy is a marvel of technology and nature spanning about ten thousand kilometers in diameter.

And is located on Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system which is the only planet without the influence of the big clans and families or any other faction.

Richard Damien the principal of the academy also known as the strongest human is believed to be at the peak of diamond rank by the general masses together with the patriarchs of the seven great families and the supreme commander of the military.

A tall handsome young man stood in front of a massive gate with the words nebula academy boldly shining at it's top.

He had neck length navy blue hair and sparkling azure eyes.

Standing at 6 feet 2, with a face as if crafted by the gods themselves and a perfect body with compact and defined muscles.

Adam Walker's POV

Today was the nebula academy's entrance exam and I don't exactly want to be here but apparently the academies are cumpulsory and if I must attend one I'd rather attend the best. I sighed and walked through the massive gates along with other candidates here for the exam.

I walked into a large hall where we will be taking the written test, honestly I don't even see the reason for it and it's not like any one with a particularly useful bloodline needs academic subjects like physics and the likes and most if not all who manage to enter this academy have powerful bloodlines.

The test lasted for two hours and am sure i aced it if i do say so myself after all am not exactly weak in the academic dapartment.

One might even say am an academic genius.

But seriously it wasn't that hard most of the questions were about history with the first question being about your bloodline .

Speaking about my bloodline I have two. One is gravity manipulation and the other even I don't know what it actually does so am only writing down one.After that was the practical test which is to say the actual important part of the test.

Finally am glad we came to the important part as this generation is termed as the golden age with a lot of geniuses emerging most especially scions of the great clans as they are termed as absolute monsters with some if not most being able to fight above their ranks.

But then there's the publicly acknowledged number one of this generation Aurora De Silva from the great Silva family even among scions of other great clans she is leagues ahead with her space~time bloodline after all her bloodline awakened at birth.

As for me mine just awakened two years ago, so she has had her bloodline for approximately fourteen years before I got mine.

3rd person POV

After the written test the candidates were escorted to where they would be briefed about the practical test.

Soon they were led to a vast garden just behind the building they took the written test,there they saw a man at the front one look at him was enough to understand he was a battle hardened veteran with his bulky muscles and a scar that ran across his left eye all the way to his chin.

"Listen up midgets this academy ain't for the weak willed", he began with a roguish accent.

"This is your last chance to walk away as you will all sign an agreement stating if you die during this test you're nothing but collateral damage".

"What?" I didn't sign up for this most of the candidates clamored and some were simply too stunned to even react.

As for Adam he just stood still sporting a calm indifferent look as if he did not just hear that death is a possibility in the test.

"Don't talk when am talking he shouted with spittle coming out of his mouth. My name is David Blake but it's instructor to you miscreants".

"And you heard me right if you take this test you might very well meet your end", he shouted

"So here's your chance if you're scared you are still free to withdraw and apply to any one of the other eight academies, personally I think Polaris academy in Pluto will be a nice fit for the weak willed among you", he bellowed.

"But once you sign this agreement there will be no going back.

"No one?", he asked after a few moments as no one seems to want to back off.

"No one?", he asked again before saying "good I was starting to think all of you were pu***es".

Soon everyone signed the agreement and he began to brief them about the test.

"You all will be transported to a forest within the academy where you willkill beasts or eliminate other participants to attain points".

"There are over five thousand participants but only two thousand slots for new students", he said.

"what?", but there are only about three hundred of us here a participant asked in puzzlement.

"What did you think you were the only ones", the man shouted at the girl who spoke.

"Now with that aside step to those tables over there pick a smartwatch, it has two purposes, one to record your points and two it will teleport you away when facing a sure death situation".

" But there's a catch your opponent might be fast enough to kill you before it teleports you away. Oh and it will become your ID if you do manage to pass or will be snatched back from those who are eliminated", he explained.

"The test will end the moment there are two thousand participants remaining.

Ranks in the academy will be assigned depending on number of points aquired", he said.

"From 1001 to 2000 will be assigned to the normal class,201 to 1000 the elite class and finally 1 to 200 the special class.

Now the test starts the moment you find yourselves in the forest", he said.

"And when is that?" asked a lanky boy.

" Now" said the instructor and they all disappeared in an instant.
