Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 0 — THE REALM OF ORYON

When I opened my eyes in this new body, I didn't know anything about the world around me. I didn't know its rules, its dangers, or its unforgiving nature.But after living here… after bleeding and suffering here… I finally understand what Oryon truly is.

This is the world I was thrown into.This is the place where strength is everything.

THE WORLD OF ORYON

Oryon is not a peaceful world.It breathes power, danger, and ambition.The land itself is alive with spiritual energy, and every person grows up knowing one truth:

If you're weak, you're nothing. If you're strong, you're everything.

The world is divided into five great continents, each one ruled by powerful forces.

THE FIVE CONTINENTS OF ORYON

1. The Dawnlight Continent

This is the core of civilization, the place where the strongest clans and academies rise.It is where the Celestial Academy—my new prison and future—is located.

Mountains stretch like sharp blades into the sky.Cities float above sacred rivers.Spirit beasts roam freely, and even the weakest beast could tear apart ten ordinary humans.

Dawnlight is where geniuses gather and where trash like me gets crushed.

2. The Ironstorm Continent

A violent land filled with endless storms and iron-gray skies.Only warriors with strong bodies survive here.They are famous for producing cultivators with insane physical strength.

Many students in the Celestial Academy come from Ironstorm…and they love bullying people like me.

3. The Verdantwild Continent

Covered in ancient forests older than human history.Giant spirit beasts, poisonous plants, and tribes that worship nature live here.

Some of the world's strongest healers and summoners come from Verdantwild.

4. The Emberfall Continent

A land of volcanoes and fire.Lava rivers, ash storms, and creatures born from flame exist here.

Most of the fire element prodigies in the academy come from this continent.

5. The Frostsky Continent

Snow-white plains, frozen seas, and cities made of ice.Its people are cold, quiet, and frighteningly powerful.

They produce many ice cultivators and spirit tamers.

THE POWER SYSTEM

Every person in Oryon is born with Spirit Veins, channels inside the body that absorb spiritual energy.Your entire future is decided the moment you're born.

TALENT GRADES

Spirit Vein talent is judged like this:

S-Grade – Legendary talent, future king or queen

A-Grade – Rare genius

B-Grade – Talented, great potential

C-Grade – Normal

D-Grade – Below average

E-Grade – Weak

F-Grade – Hopeless

My reincarnated body, Carter Vale?

F-Grade. Nearly crippled.Spirit Veins blocked.No hope.

That's why everyone looked at me like trash.

THE CULTIVATION STAGES OF ORYON

Cultivation here is split into stages, each one harder than the last:

1. Spirit Initiate

Where beginners learn to sense energy.

2. Spirit Root

Where veins open and real cultivation begins.

3. Spirit Core

Power condenses inside the body, forming a spiritual core.

4. Spirit Sea

The core expands into an inner world.

5. Spirit King

A cultivator's aura becomes powerful enough to crush weaker beings.

6. Spirit Emperor

These people can fight armies alone.

7. Spirit Lord

They bend the elements, walk on air, and reshape land.

8. Spirit Saint

One word from them can kill.

9. Ascendant

Legends.People who stand above nations and command the elements like toys.

The Celestial Academy trains students hoping to reach these heights.

And I…was placed at the very bottom of the academy's ladder.

THE CELESTIAL ACADEMY

The strongest academy on the Dawnlight Continent.Only geniuses get in… unless by accident.

The academy is split into four divisions:

Outer Academy – Lowest level, where trash students like me start.

Inner Academy – For those with talent.

Prime Academy – For true prodigies.

Heaven Pavilion – Only the strongest of the strong enter.

To climb even one division, you need to defeat dozens of geniuses and rise above hundreds of competitors.

And with my blocked veins and F-grade talent…I wasn't even supposed to survive.

But the world doesn't know my secret.

The Weakling System.A system made for someone like me.

A cheat code that activates when I suffer.A power that grows when I fall.A strange gift that turns pain into strength.

This world is cruel, yes.But for the first time in my life…

I have a way to fight back.
