READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 14: Thunder God System
Luminari Academy, Calonia.
The sun rose with splendor as a young man awoke from his sleep, confused by his surroundings.
"AHHH!!!" A sharp pain struck his head as he recollected what happened before he died.
"Is this heaven or hell?" His expression was downcast, his eyes devoid of light. "Or have I transmigrated into another world?"
Checking his surroundings, he saw that he was in an enclosed room, lying on a hospital bed. "Why do I find this situation so familiar?" He muttered.
Checking his reflection, he saw his face was still the same; nothing had changed. "Don't tell me..." He smelled the air, confirming his thoughts. "It looks like I am alive, but what about the others?"
The excitement he had was squashed as he remembered what happened to the others. The scene of how they were killed couldn't be faked. Their expressions before death were too real; he himself felt lost when he was stabbed.
CLICK!
Draco saw the door was slightly open as a silver snake slithered into his ward.
"Bubble!" He stood up, feeling a bit dizzy, and picked up the silver snake.
Since he had woken up, Draco had only smiled genuinely, happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Are you crying?" He asked, stroking Bubble, seeing tears dropping from its eyes.
Hearing this, the snake shook its head, indicating "no," it wasn't crying.
"Stop lying," Draco reprimanded, but checking Bubble again, he saw its eyes were devoid of tears, pure like water.
"So cute." Draco now knew why Rose was obsessed with Bubble. Thinking about Rose, his mood went down again.
What Draco didn't know was that when he said Bubble was cute, a hint of red hue appeared on its face.
As Draco's mood was down, he suddenly heard someone running outside his ward.
BANG!
His door was forced open, and his face was shocked seeing who it was.
"Draco!" Rose rushed out to hug him, with tears dropping from her eyes.
Draco was still in disbelief, seeing his friends were still alive. Tears dropped from his eyes. "Thank goodness, you guys are still alive."
"You're a man, bruh, stop crying like a child," Blum teased.
Draco, who heard this, blushed but knew Blum was trying to lighten his mood.
Soothing Rose, he turned to his friends as they gave each other a bear hug.
One thing they didn't know was that, as Rose hugged Draco, a small snake was already holding a grudge, looking at Rose with a gaze of an enemy.
"What about Sharon? Hope nothing's wrong," Draco asked.
"She had something to do at home. Don't worry, she's hale and hearty," Ming replied.
Draco felt relief, his eyes shining with light, seeing that nothing had happened to his friends. However, the recent events made him realize his strength was low and at the bottom of the food chain. He thirsted for strength and hungered for power.
But it wasn't just him; the others had similar thoughts in their minds. If this were real, they might have lost each other.
"You mean I slept for a day?" Draco was surprised when he heard his friends telling him about what happened. He was confused because it was the same type of death they experienced in the simulation.
Knock!
"Draco, I heard you're awake," Teacher Alya's voice sounded from outside as she opened the door. "Oh, your friends are here. I'm even envious of your relationship, wondering when it will last." She teased.
"Sorry to disrupt your chat time, but I'm here to discuss something with Draco," She continued.
The others nodded and stood up, heading out of the ward.
"Bro, you gotta take it easy. I know you want to try it here, but don't forget you're still young," Blum whispered in Draco's ear before quickly running out.
Draco's face turned dark when he heard this. He raised his hand to discipline the troublemaker but only caught a wisp of air, which made him chuckle, seeing Blum running away.
"Your friend is really interesting," Alya's voice sounded.
Scratching his head, Draco began to laugh.
Meanwhile, in his mind, Blum was in deep trouble. Looking at Alya's figure, she wore a white shirt with a black skirt and black stockings. Her shirt struggled to contain her ample curves, while her purple hair and eyes complemented her vixen figure.
"Vixen," he shouted in his mind, putting up his guard against any charm attack.
Alya noticed this and giggled, "Don't worry, I won't eat you." Her laughter made her curves jiggle, causing blood to rush to Draco's head.
"Ouch!" He felt a sharp pain on his head as Bubble hit him, waking him from his nasty thoughts.
"Thanks, Bubble," he said in his mind.
"Teacher Alya, do you know the reason for my loss of consciousness for a day?" He asked, still bothered.
"Yes, the cause has to do with your soul; it was slightly hurt. So your body shut down to heal the damage," She replied.
Draco understood what happened. It was caused by switching between copied skills.
When Teacher Alya saw his expression, she knew he understood but didn't ask because it seemed Draco didn't want to discuss it.
"Teacher Alya, I'm sure you aren't here for this," Draco gazed at her inquisitively.
She nodded, confirming his words. "The academy asked me to train you. This world isn't what it seems."
Her words confused Draco, who waited for her to continue.
"What do you know about the four heroes?" She questioned.
"They saved humanity from extinction, fighting back the Volkoid and reclaiming our land. The four main clans descended from them," Draco replied.
"Yes, that's what everyone knows. But how did four people with new abilities defeat thousands of Volkoids?" Draco fell into thought. It was true; how did they tackle the Volkoid?
To him, a level ten beast just killed him like an ant, and during that period, there were far stronger beasts.
When he thought about what made them force back the Volkoid, the only explanation was that they had help from someone.
"Yes, your thought is right. They were helped by alien forces. That's why I said this world isn't what you think. We aren't alone in this universe; there are strong talents out there, some stronger, some weaker. Don't get proud with your talent; with the system, no one is trash," Her explanation amazed Draco.
"But why did they circulate fake information?" He was baffled.
"The aliens wanted to keep their existence hidden. Do you think the world would be at peace if they knew another species lived among them?" She chuckled.
"All students in the academy know; we have a base outside Cerulean. Don't fight the four main families; their strength is stronger than you think. Their abilities are unique, so don't bother them, but don't lower your head. Be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove."
She left the ward immediately after saying this.
Draco digested the information, his mind opened to the mysteries of this world.
"But everything depends on strength. I have to get strong to leave my mark in history," He muttered, his eyes burning with fire.

Power coursed through his body as he practiced boxing stances, seeing that his strength had grown stronger again, but he still thirsted for more.
Meanwhile, Blum felt excited about getting back at Draco for using him as a guinea pig. Heading back to his dorm with Ming, he lay down on the bed, and the memory of how he was killed passed through his mind.
He had never felt so weak before, especially after they told him about the hidden secrets of this world and the universe.
"So, the universe is bigger than I thought. I need to get stronger, strong enough to protect my friends and have no regrets," He muttered, as he closed his eyes to rest.
