Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The Status Window
Ryo returned to his dorm after dinner, his mind still reeling from everything that had happened. After changing into a simple shirt and pants, he collapsed onto the bed, staring at the ceiling as thoughts raced through his mind.
The conversations at dinner replayed in his head—students discussing human food and culture, their fascination with how humans lacked supernatural abilities yet had unique traditions and cuisines. Some had even expressed curiosity about trying human dishes, despite having vastly different dietary needs.
Then there was the topic of tomorrow's classes.
With a sigh, Ryo recalled the
first-day schedule:
Morning: History lecture on the different races.
Afternoon: Basic battle training.
Evening: Free period and preparation for course selection.
The academy required students to experience all fundamental subjects before choosing their specialization courses, which they would have to submit in a month.
His sigh deepened.
Classes? How was he supposed to focus on classes when he had died twice already?
He turned on his side, his body still feeling strangely light—a lingering effect of whatever was happening to him. And then, his mind drifted back to the events of the past few hours—or was it days?
The voice in his head, the abilities unlocking, the deaths and regressions… What was happening to him?
As if answering his thoughts, a bright blue screen suddenly materialized in front of him.
Ryo's eyes widened in shock. He jerked back, losing his balance—
Thud!
He hit the floor with a groan, rubbing his back as he stared at the floating screen. His heart pounded as his eyes darted over the glowing text.
It wasn't an illusion. It was real.

What the hell was this?
His hands clenched. This wasn't normal. It wasn't possible.
But deep down, he was confused.
And this was only the beginning.
