Versatile System Online

Ray walked out of the hall,

The class had just ended and he had a break of two hours before the next class started. Hence, he started to walk in the direction of the library.

His face was placid without any emotion and as he robotically walked towards his destination he consulted with Aurora about several matters,

"So, what do you think is after the celestial realm", Ray asked.

He had been very curious and couldn't help but ask about it. He didn't ask about it from the Professor as he knew it would be a useless endeavor. Therefore, he asked Aurora,

"I don't know, not right now. My memories are still locked and to unlock them, you will have to get stronger", Aurora replied.

Ray's expression darkened when he heard it but this also strengthened his resolve to get stronger as he muttered to himself,

"I need to get stronger and reach the celestial realm to find out about what that old man was trying to say",

That day had always been a mystery to Ray and whenever he thought about what happened after the System Activation ceremony, Ray got even more confused and bewildered.

He was just an ordinary young man from an ordinary family, so why was he given such a strong system, and not only that, what was up with his bloodline?

Whenever he got to this point, he started to think of his father. His father had always been a secretive person and also very different.

Ray had always felt that his father was different, different from other's fathers who went out for a job and provided for their families, and although his father also did this, he did this differently. His father had a government job and he was mostly out of his city or country, completing his tasks given by the government.

But he would always come back in a few months and would also contact me while away. But one time, when he went to complete his job, he never came back.

No call, no message, nothing. A few months later, a government employee had come and told them that their father had a car accident and died.

That day, his mother wept until her eyes bled and she passed out weeping, as for Ray. He was just 10 years old while his mother was still pregnant with his sister.

Ray still remembered that day vividly, seeing his mother passing out on the floor while her ears bled. That day, Ray's heart bled.

Although the government gave them a lot of money as compensation for their father's death, it didn't last long as his mother got into severe depression and nearly died while giving birth to his sister.

All the money they had was spent on her treatment and even their old house was sold. It took her some time to get better and since then, she has been doing her best to be both the father and mother to her children.

That is why Ray wanted to be strong, to relieve her of her suffering, to help her, to lessen her burden, to share the burden she felt, and lastly, to find the reason why his father died.

Unknowingly, tears started to form within Ray's eyes but before they could fall, Ray used his sleeve to wipe them.

All this time, Aurora was extremely silent because as a system, she could feel Ray's emotions and from the way Ray felt right now, Aurora knew why his emotions were such and why tears stemmed in his eyes.

It was the loss of a loved one, and from what she knew, it must be the loss of Ray's father. Therefore, she didn't say anything as it was also a way for Ray to steel his resolve and strengthen himself.

A few minutes later, Ray stood in front of a large door made of wood. The door was about 10 feet tall and wide enough to fit 5 people at the same time.

He walked towards the scanner at the side of the door, took out his badge, and scanned it.

The scanner lit up and a ray of light shone out, engulfing the badge.

Soon a click sounded and the scanner emitted a green light.

Seeing the green light, Ray stepped forward and pushed the doors open, and walked in. Walking into the library, Ray was stunned.

His eyes lit up while his lips curved up into a smile. The library was huge and the message he had just gotten from his system, it stated that,

"Ding!, Host has been granted level five authority. This allows the host to choose and read any book from the first five sections of the library while the host could also borrow the books free of any cost",

"Looks like the dean has started to keep up his promise, now it's time for me to keep mine",

Ray muttered and started to explore the library. The library was huge and had a total of 14 sections within it. The first 5 were for those who were in the Mortal realm, the next 4 were for those in the Magical realm, 3 for those in the Calamity realm and the last two were for those in the Celestial realm.

Though, the last 2 sections were only accessible to the dean and some grand elders of the Academy.

In the first five sections, there were a variety of books, there were skill books, martial techniques, manuals on body tempering, and many more books for strengthening one's self.

Ray spent a whole hour just looking through and browsing all the available books.

Looking down at the clock in his badge, Ray realized that it was time for lunch and although Ray wanted to read the books just now, he didn't.

He restrained his curiosity and walked out of the library. He was coming back after the second class and choosing some techniques to practice.

Right now, it was 1 pm and Ray was starving since he hadn't eaten for quite some time. He once again walked into the cafeteria but was stunned by what he saw.

The cafeteria was filled to the brim while all seats and benches were almost occupied.

Not only that, there was a large line in front of the counter and from the way, the line seemed to move, Ray determined that it would take at least 45 minutes before the line cleared up.

Having no choice left, Ray walked and stood in the line. He would be short on time but he didn't want to cause trouble by breaking the line and also didn't want to make a scene over here.

"Hey Ray, what are you standing in the line for?",

Ray heard a voice and turned around to see who it was. Turning around, he saw Noah waving back at him. Turning to Noah, Ray replied,

"Standing in the line for lunch",

Listening to Ray's answer, Noah was confused as he asked,

"You know you don't have to stand in the line if you want to have lunch, there is a special counter for students of the elite class to get their lunch from and they don't have to stand in the line",

Listening to Noah, Ray got confused and it took him a little time to understand what Noah was saying, then his eyes lit up and he stepped out of the line and walked towards Noah.

Previously Ray hadn't understood what Noah said until Aurora reminded him that in the introductory manual they had gotten, it was explained that the students of the elite class had their counter to collect food from and their reserved seats for eating food in the cafeteria.

Moreover, Aurora also told him that it was free of cost. Listening to this, Ray understood everything and stepped out of the line he was in.

On the other hand, the students of the normal class that heard what Noah said and also when they saw Ray's reaction, got irked.

After all, they had to stand in line for so long to get lunch but the student in front of them stood there just to make fun of them.

That's what most of them thought and it never crossed their minds that there might be someone who wouldn't have known and stood there unknowingly.

The normal students were infuriated but held themselves back as they knew everyone from the elite class was either a monster or a big shot they couldn't offend.

Meanwhile, Ray walked to Noah and smiled as he said,

"Sorry, I didn't know that we had this many privileges",

With that, he walked towards the other counter specially reserved for the elite class and got his lunch. Then, he and Noah started to have their lunch while they made small talk.

As they both were having their lunch, Ray heard someone speak,

"Hey, did you hear that a basic grade dungeon was found near the Academy"?
