Chapter 1: New world, new magic
Duncan!, Wake up you have a fight this afternoon and you are still sleeping!".
Inside a structure which looks like a boardinghouse with beds line up, a young lad with lustrous curl hair and pale white skin could be seen shaking someone laying on the bed.
After some seconds the teenager on the bed sleepily woke up with a grunt, after having a detailed glance at his surrounding he jump up in a panic and warily look at the teenager with gold hair.
"Jeeez, Duncan don't give me such fright" The Golden hair youth jokily said, but all he got was a stare from the boy called Duncan, "who are you and what am I doing here?".
The Golden hair youth was perplexed after hearing Duncan's question, unexpectedly he felt all his hair stand up, it was like he has been locked by a predator who was observing every of his move.
Quickly sweat crammed his forehead as he hastily explain.
"It's me jack, bro claim down before you do something stupid," Jack said.
*******
Angus was fully confused seeing himself in a different room plus a golden hair boy standing close to him, he directly went into a defensive mode as he eyed the teenager warily, {Is this another prank from Fergus?} With such an impression he decides to release his aura in order to frighten the kid, but he suddenly reveals a confused look as he felt too vulnerable that even a mortal can beat him, {damnit! That punk must have sealed my power}.
"Jeez Duncan don't give me such fright" hearing the golden hair youth, Angus with a sharp glare asked,
"What are you doing here..." He paused cause he felt his voice was too young!
Hastily looking down on his body, he was given a massive shock as it turn out he wasn't the almighty Demi-god Angus who was at the point of breaking through to godhood and got betrayed by his best friend whom he called brother rather he was a teen.
Having experienced a lot of things which have shaped him into a steady man, he quickly grasp his emotion and didn't mind what the golden hair youth was saying, cause at that moment he felt like another memory was being added to his.
Bearing the headache which came with the memory Angus quickly try to sort it and what he saw gave him a bit of shock.
It turns out that the body he possesses now belongs to a guy known as Duncan, his mother doesn't care for him after his brother awake a strong and rare lightning element and his father who has 10 wives doesn't care for his kids only the talented or useful ones get his attention while the rest don't see him.
Having been bullied in both his home and school, Duncan turns into a drunkard and starts living a prodigal son life, one certain day while he was drunk he mistakenly saw a young beautiful girl and aggravates her reckoning it was those typical prostitutes, not knowing she was his supposed to be fiancee, he was given a beaten of his life by her which injured him although he healed, with the help of magic something strange happens today which lead to his death.
{Wow, seems like you have left a life of despair man, don't worry since am in possession of you, the world shall hear the name of Duncan cause from now Angus is dead} he pause as he stood up from the bunk with his back straighten his aura suddenly become sharp like an old rusty blade being unsheathed and recast in the fire again.
Even jack felt the change in Duncan which made him feel that something was off with Duncan just when he wanted to talk he heard Duncan's voice.
"Hey Jack, sorry I was a little dizzy which made me not to see you clearly, let's hurry up for the end-of-term examination" Seeing Duncan's friendly smile jack felt like he was back to normal but one thing was distinct his eyes, they weren't as dull and hopeless as before instead it seems to be a face of an old man who has experienced a lot of things, it was filled with wisdom and knowledge.
Nodding his head absent-minded jack followed Duncan outside while moving he start a conversation, "Dunny, I was able to bribe one of the elders and found out who you gonna fight, I suggest you quickly quit in time cause it's your stepsister, Rose and I heard she broke through to Grade 1 last week meaning she is now a Rule bender while you haven't broke through yet, it's gonna be a quick fight with your butt being wipe on the..."
"Okay, okay, I got it you don't have to remind me of how useless I am okay" shooting jack a vexed look making jack shut up Duncan continued "beside am close to breaking through too and am sure gonna be a Rule bender soon," Duncan said with a nonchalant expression as he walks out of the dormitory, the sun shun dazzlingly on his face making Duncan squint until his eyesight adjusted to the ray of light.
After adjusting Duncan took a look and found out that his vision was filled with trees and a stream running out from the forest and gathering into a pond which was filled with a strange golden fish the size of a football, they keep releasing small sparks of lightning as they swim and display some acrobatics moves in the pond, the sound of chirping of birds and little roars of some animals made the forest so lively and good to cultivate in, Angus came from a cultivation world where qi and spirit energy was the main energies employed to cultivate, plus there had never been anything like Rule bender and Duncan was not the reading or curious types making him have little to no knowledge regarding those people.
"Hey Duncan don't stand there we have to hurry up and reach the training ground," Jack said to which Duncan nod and hurriedly followed jack to a stone alter with some bizarre runes engraved on the floor, it was like a piece of art which captivate Duncan interest as he has seen it back in the cultivation world and knew it was a teleportation sequence, he followed jack to the top of the formation and watched as jack insert a crystal stone into a small hole connected to the formation after which he seems to press some strange device with his palm and then when he released it the runs on the floor light up, Jack and Duncan stood on it.
Suddenly, as usual, Duncan felt his head spin and his vision was jammed with dark space, he felt weightless, the feeling lasted for only 3 seconds and everything return normal but they weren't standing on the teleportation but on another one which was located outside of a training arena, both Duncan and Jack step out.
Looking ahead, Duncan could see a lot of students about 3 hundred gathered together and on the fighting field a fight was going on, it was between a blond hair girl and a silver-haired boy.
"Hey that is Ferguson and Abby, they are both Grade 1 Rule benders, let's go watch it" jack drag Duncan which Duncan followed as he was curious about how the Rule benders fight and also,
{strange why does that boy looks just like Fergus?} Duncan look at the silver hair youth as he thought.
