The narrative unfolds within the corridors of the academy, a convergence point for all pivotal characters. While entry for nobles is a straightforward transaction of 2000 gold coins, commoners must prove their worth through a rigorous test of skills and talents, with only half of the thousand applicants earning acceptance. It was a fierce battle among themselves, yet fair to all.
The power hierarchy is delineated by levels ranging from bronze, silver, gold, platinum, emerald, diamond, mythical, sacred, divine, with each level representing a significant leap in skill and influence. At the pinnacle of this hierarchy lies Maquiel's creature, the destroyer, rumored to hold a primordial rank as the sovereign of monsters.
Reflecting on the intricate power dynamics, I couldn't help but murmur with a conflicted expression, pondering Maquiel's fate, unsure if he still roamed among the living or lay dead.

As I recounted my progress through the novel, I found myself halted on the precipice of the final arc, where the second war loomed much more intense than the former. The unresolved climax left me grappling with uncertainty, lacking information as I transmigrated before completing the read, furrowing my brow at my ill luck.

(Welcome, host. It is recommended you say the word "status")
With excitement in my voice, I uttered the word: "Status".
And with that simple invocation, a cascade of information unfolded before me, illuminating my field of vision, a blue screen appearing in front of my eyes.
