The God Ages

Chapter 12: The True Academy

After a while of scanning through countless newspapers for hours, I found no trace:(.

"Man it really sucks having no internet in this world!" I cry. Just then, I heard a knock on the door. "Whose there?" I inquire.

"It's me, Oliver." He answers. I stand up and walk to the door, my foot aching with each step I take. s**t! WHY THE f**k DOES MY FOOT HURT THIS MUCH! Finally, after what seemed like 10 f*****g centuries of pain, I reach the door and I open it. Oliver stands their, holding what seems to be an... IPHONE? I look at Oliver in disbelief and he looks back confused. He shrugs it off and speaks to me.

"Anyways, I never got your number, do you have one?" He inquires.

"No..." I say, in disbelief that this world has fricking IPHONES! "How does this world have such advanced tech?" I stare at his phone that looks even more technological than a real phone. Or a phone from my original world. He looks at me confused again.

"Have you never heard about the Kingdom Of Aria? The most technological kingdom out of the big 5?" He questions me, leaving me dumbfounded.

"No...." He slaps his face, very disappointed in me right now.

Jarvis: f*****g dumbass, doesn't even know how a phone looks like! I wish I was never assigned to a stupid, fatherless, dumbass, creature like you!

"Anyways, do you want to buy a phone?" Oliver asks,

"Well, the true Sovereign Academy has a phone store. You should visit it when we get there."

The true Sovereign Academy, located in the middle of the ocean, is a place I've never heard of. It turns out that all this time spent at the current academy was for nothing. I'm filled with curiosity about what the true academy holds and what kind of secrets it might keep.

Every freshman will be boarding a cruise ship to the true academy, along with the other grades who will return after their summer break.

"Aight, how much does it cost though?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Only like, 3 gold coins." He smiles.

"3 WHOLE f*****g GOLD COINS? THAT s**t COSTS MORE THAN ME!" I stare at Oliver in disbelief, my jaw dropping as I try to process the cost of the phone. In my world, a phone would never cost that much, let alone in this one. But I know I need to have a phone if I want to stay connected and find more information about Llorient and the Aelous. "Alright, fine. I'll find a way to get the gold coins." I sigh, resigning myself to the fact that I'll have to make some tough decisions to get what I need.

"Who says you'll be buying the phone?" He questions.

"Oh how my life has tur- what?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Yeah, there's no way a poor i***t like you will afford an phone, I'll buy it for you." I get on my knees and start kneeling to him.

"Thank you my glorious king, I will forever serve you as my liege."

"Okay, you don't need to do that much!" He giggles.

3 days later.

"zzzzzzzz" I lay in my big white mattress, wide asleep. The gentle hum of the ceiling fan above me creates a soothing melody, lulling me deeper into my slumber. The room is bathed in a warm, golden light filtering through the slightly parted curtains, casting a comforting glow on the walls. I'm enveloped in a cocoon of serenity, my body completely at ease.

As I drift further into my dreams, my mind begins to weave a tapestry of vivid images and intriguing scenarios. I find myself standing on the edge of a cliff, overlooking a vast, stormy sea. The wind whips around me, tearing at my clothes and sending my hair into disarray. In the distance, I can see a colossal ship, its sails billowing in the tempest, battling the elements as it makes its way towards the shore.

Suddenly, a deafening roar pierces the air, drawing my attention away from the ship. A monstrous creature emerges from the churning waves, its colossal

body glistening in the moonlight. Its eyes burn with a fierce, primal energy, and its teeth are like jagged daggers, sharp enough to cleave through steel. I can feel the fear coursing through my veins, my heart pounding in my chest as the beast prepares to launch itself at me.

In that moment of terror, a figure appears beside me. Clad in a tattered, once-regal cloak, the stranger's face is obscured by the shadows. They grip a sword with a hilt adorned with intricate, glowing runes. The weapon seems to hum with power, almost as if it's alive.

"Fear not, for I am here to protect you," the stranger says in a voice that resonates with authority and wisdom. "Together, we shall face this creature and emerge victorious."

With a nod, I take a deep breath, steeling myself for the battle ahead. The monster charges at us, its massive form shaking the ground beneath our feet. The stranger and I stand our ground, our eyes locked on the beast as it closes in.

In a flurry of motion, the stranger raises their sword, and it begins to glow with a brilliant, otherworldly light. The creature roars, its jaws snapping inches from our faces, but we remain unscathed. The sword descends, slicing through the air with a screech of raw, unbridled power.

The beast's body convulses, as if struck by lightning, and it collapses to the ground, defeated. The stranger lowers their sword, the glow around the hilt fading as the weapon returns to its normal state.

"You did it," I say, awestruck by our victory. "You saved me."

The stranger smiles, a hint of sadness in their eyes. "I have saved many before you, and I will continue to do so. But now, it's time for me to move on. Your path is your own, and you must face the challenges ahead with courage and determination."

With that, the stranger vanishes into a swirl of shadows and moonlight, leaving me standing alone on the edge of the cliff. I watch as the ship in the distance finally makes it to shore, its crew cheering in triumph as they dock.

"AAGGGGGHHHHHH!" I feel sudden pain in my crotch.

"Wake up." Alexander shouts. "Oliver is outside the door, hurry up and grab your suitcase." He smirks

"You didn't have to kick me in my crotch!" I say while rolling in pain. He might have just killed my family tree off.

"Eh, you're kinda right. But it was funny." He giggles just before leaving. After the pain goes away, I put on some clothes and prepare to leave. I check out of the hotel for the last time, as today, I'm going to the sea. When I leave, I see Oliver, Nadia, And Alexander all in a carriage. I smirk before throwing my luggage in the back of the carriage and hopping inside. I sit next to Alexander as it was the only one left open. After a while, we arrive at the cruise ship. I still can't believe that this world has this technology.

"Aight, grab your luggages and let's head in to check in, you see how I made it rhyme?" Oliver says.

"You're deadass not funny bro." I stare at him, disappointed. Very disappointed.

Jarvis: You are right. This f*****g creature is not funny

I try to hold my laugh in, covering my mouth. This Scallywag is about to sell me!

as we approach the grand cruise ship, the salty sea air fills my nostrils, mingling with the faint scent of diesel and polished wood. The ship's majestic silhouette looms against the horizon, its gleaming hull reflecting the golden rays of the setting sun. The cacophony of excited voices and the distant hum of the ship's engines create a symphony of life and adventure, making my heart race with anticipation. I can feel the excitement bubbling within me, and I know that this journey will be one to remember.

"I guess we part ways, for now." Nadia says as she dips.

"Yeah... See you guys." Alexander leaves as well. After a while, I go to the bottom part of the boat, where all the non-nobles stay at. Since we will stay here for 4 days, (yes, the travel is that long) We will have to sleep in beds that aren't as good quality as the ones the nobles get.

ThatSigmaGuy: Those fuckers will never understand Felix's pain

When I get down, I see six other people sitting in a blue coach around a glass table.

"Looks like the last one got here." A brown haired boy with hair that goes to the right exclaims.

"Honey, you're paying more attention to him then me!" The pink haired girl next to him

After a while of scanning through countless newspapers for hours, I found no trace:(.

"Man it really sucks having no internet in this world!" I cry. Just then, I heard a knock on the door. "Whose there?" I inquire.

"Looks like the last one got here." A brown haired boy with hair that goes to the right exclaims.

"Honey, you're paying more attention to him then me!" The pink haired girl says while laying on his shoulder.

"What do you want?" I exclaim.

"Come sit over here!" He points in which I do. The sofa is pretty soft if I do say so!

"So, what?"

"Let's steal from the upper decks!" He points to the sky with his finger.

"Why?" I inquire, clearly irritated by the fact HE'S STEALING! I would never steal

"For fun!" That's a dumbass reason. "So, will you be joining us?"

"No." I say as I leave to my room. "I'm not a dumbass." Just as I was about to leave the boy grabs my hand. That signaled me to turn around and punch him. Just as it was about to hit him Llorient interfered, grabbing my waist and stopping the attack.

"Lay a hand on him and I'll be at your ass up personally." He emits a light blue aura from his eyes, sending shivers down my spine. s**t! Why did he have to get involved.

"Hey, hey." The boy exclaims, "I just wanted to get to know each other!" He giggles. "My name is James Nicatine!" Nicatine? Like the family of swordsmen that are good enough to compete with nobles! (T.S I read about them in a book). I might be cooked here. The Deck booms again because of the water and the motors colliding. Adding more drama than there should be. The Pink haired girl stares at me with a murderous intent. A very murderous intent. "What's your name?" He asks.

"Nothing you should know." I say as I walk off to my room, with my hands in my pockets.

As I settle into my cramped quarters, I can't help but feel a sense of unease. The thought of spending the next few days confined to this floating metal tube, surrounded by people I don't know and don't trust, is not exactly appealing. I pace around the small room, trying to shake off the feeling of unease that's creeping up on me. The walls of the room are adorned with cheap, peeling wallpaper, and the bed is narrow and hard, a far cry from the luxurious accommodations I'm used to.

Out in the corridor, I can hear the muffled laughter and lively chatter of the other passengers, their voices bouncing off the metal walls and echoing through the ship. I can't help but feel like an outsider, a stranger in a world I don't quite understand. After a few days of living in this hell, we finally arrive at the academy. I grab my luggage and walk pass through the crowded corridors, until I could finally see the academy. Sovereign Academy.
