The sun rose above the Martial Academy, its golden rays vanishing into the vast green land.
The air, moist and crisp, Carried a cool earthy feel.
The atmosphere, clear with pure and rich Energy.
Ace came out of the dumpster of the room.
And into the big dark maze!
Ace stood there shocked, the place was all dark!
He could see nothing, other than the pure horrific shadow creatures his mind showed him.
He took his hands to his eyes, trying to polish them to actually see.
However, even then, he was still in the void.
The only light coming out from his room window, Cut.
It wasn't even able to reach the door.
I mean, what did he expect.
It was just cracking dawn at the moment.
Ace sighed, if he was going to accomplish his quest, he needed to get out of there, and he needed to do it fast!
Gulping down his saliva, Ace was finally ready to move.
He set out his leg slowly inside the dark abyss, feeling the carpeted floor with his toe, he was reassured.
Ace set out his second leg, and placed his hand on the wall, following it closely as he moved.
Carefully examining the floor by pressing it with his foot, Ace kept moving.
As he kept walking, His fear of falling into a dark hole or down some stairs was also walking with him.
Right now, he needed to find a light source, or some kind of exit out of there.
Eventually, he was sure to hit a corner, then another, and so on he would be able to make a full revolution.
But fate had planned otherwise.
Suddenly Ace's hand fell on a cold surface. His hands secured around on a ball like structure.
Ace wasn't sure what it was, but he felt that needed to explore!
He started rotating his hand, feeling all around the metallic sphere.
"A doorknob?"
Pulling out his second hand, he put it on the knob, trying all his might to rotate but nothing worked.
Even when 5 minutes had past, nothing happened.
Ace kept trying harder and harder, however the door knob was seemlessly stuck. It wouldn't budge!
Ace finally gave up, taking off his hands from the knob, he was tired.
He was banting, running of breath. Sweat trivled down his face, his back felling all the pressure.
He turned trying to rest on the wall, however luck wasn't on his side.
Suddenly, the 'wall' flung open, split in half. Ace's heart jumped, his pulse quickened.
He felt like falling down a mountain, when the whole time, it was just metre long.
As the door opened, Ace's eyes instantly got hit with the sun's rays, burning them mid fall.
His hands, squabbled for ananchor, only to waft through the air aimlessly.
Finally the long anticipated collision came, his big head toppled to the ground, shaking the earth as if an earthquake had happened.
"OUCHHHHHH"
The wail echoed through the whole surrounding area, agonizing all those who heard it instantly.
"Uhuuhuhh"
Ace cried, clinging to his head as he swirled around like a wheel on the floor.
His head had suffered the consequences, pulsing with excruciating pain over and over again.
Finally, he was outside. But at what cost!
[Ding]
The system came before him to give him good news!
[System Alert]
>System mute has been lifted.
>Now you may curse and scream as you may!
Ace stood up, his hands still on his head.
His eyes covered in moist watery surface, looking at the system panel, reminded him more pain he had suffered from way before.
He looked at his leg, remembering all the pain from hours ago.
Suddenly Ace turned to look at the dorm he just fell through, his cursive words running back to their before they even came out.
Ace gasped.
Laid out before him was a huge building, easily describable as a mansion.
The huge building had two floors, a large metal door, and dozens of decorated windows.
The roof was still broken!
Ace couldn't look away, his eyes were glued to the building. It's shimmering beauty and glorious glow!
It was a very breathtaking sight indeed.
Not forgetting his plan, Ace started to look around.
He expected to see at least a dozen other dorms close to his, but no!
His dorm was the only one!
'What the~'
Ace was shocked, on the whole surrounding area, only his mansion was there.
'Wait, could it be?' he said taking one more final look.
His head completing a full 90-degree sight.
Apart from the stunning mansion, the Area left was a free halfway leading to the mansion.
All secured perfectly inside a red fence.
He looked Infront of him, getting another 180-degree side view once more.
This time, he came face to face with three separate small rooms.
They looked more like huts than dorms.
Seemingly the three rooms were on the side, next to the entrance.
Then it hit him.
The realization crashed down onto him.
"Oooohh," he said, turning back to look at the mansion.
You see, Ace had somehow forgotten that he was Rich, or better put, Skysher was rich!
So, it was no wonder his dorm alone took out a whole block of the academy just on its own.
Ace's memory was still fuzzy with all he had experienced.
He might've been overlooking some details since he was invested in how to really survive, rather than how much of a reputation his body had.
'But wait,' something popped into his mind.
Confusion bringing him back from realization.
"If this is my dorm, then whose are those!" he yelled looking at the three small rooms.
Ace's mind rushed for an answer, but time was getting short for him.
The sun had fully been up by now, its rays lighting up the whole Academy.
Ace covered his eyes, the sun glaring its light and heat directly at them.
Then he got a subtle reminder, he had better shit to do.
[Ding]
Again, Ace was not happy to hear that sound!
It was already in the top number 1 spot for noises Ace had hated since he came to this world.
[System Reminder]
>Player is running out of time.
>May you remember that having the attention span of a goldfish won't help shoulder your punishment.
>You'll whine even more!
"RIGHT!"
Ace gritted his teeth, a fake smile appearing on his ashen face.
He wanted to tear the system to shreds, but did he really?
He seriously needed to consider his position at this point.
"I should probably be going."
Ace had made up his mind and committed to it, turning his head to the real entrance for his escape.
"Who knows, I might get there and miss my mission!"
In a flash, Ace stormed out of his position, his legs taking off to the huge door that closed the mansion.
He knew If he hadn't gotten to get the mission as fast as possible, he might not get to go to Yunshan Mountain and execute the plan.
'The plan Must absolutely happen! No room for failure!'
Ace tightened his fists, his eyes curling into a blood-lusted hunter.
'The stakes are just too high this time!'
With one fling he threw open the dorm doors.
Finally he was outside!
He wafted in the crisp morning air, attracting with it the dust and dirt he was covered in.
"Achoooo," he snarled, looking at his clothes.
'Damn it, I can't go out looking like this!'
Ace got to work, his hands beating against his clothes as he dusted off the dirt out of them.
With one final swoosh, he got off the last bit.
That's when he noticed it, the constant reoccurring sound.
'Cling,' the metal sign on the door, beat against itself from the force of the fling.
Noticing the sign, Ace threw out his hand to stop it.
Taking a quick glance, Ace's suspicions came true, as in the sign it said 'Sky palace'
'As I thought. Only a dumb ass would come up with a name like that,' he thought, glaring at the sign.
Out of nowhere, Ace started feeling a tingly feeling.
His neck tilted to look where it came from.
Like lightning, Ace's eyes and a dozen other eyes crashed.
It was the other students!
They stood there, staring him down like prey.
For a while, Ace hadn't noticed them, but they were there!
Some were Scared, Some carried fury, Some annoyed, and Some disgusted.
Ace had never felt such hardened looks from those many people.
He immediately knew what was going on.
'Right,'
He sighed, gazing back at his admirers.
Out of nowhere, Ace coiled his face, Making a disgusted and annoying expression.
"WHAT ARE YOU LOSERS LOOKING AT HUH?" Ace snapped, his voice sharp and loud.
Immediately Everyone started moving again, getting back to whatever business they had going.
Leaving behind Ace who was still glaring down on them.
Even though Ace had nothing to do with the actions Skysher had made, the point still remained, Ace was inside the body of Skysher!
All the acts and Crimes Skysher made were now his to shoulder.
But that was ok, Ace was going to double down on them anyway!
What disturbed him, was Skysher's behavior.
Shouting losers at others, when the real loser was him the whole time!
This meant that now Ace had the reputation of a 'dick' or, better put, a bitch.
One that would piss off even the calmest of monks in history, without talking.
Ace though, made a promise to himself.
A promise that included him being an actual villain rather than a fucking jerk.
A promise that he would redeem himself as a villain fan, and if that meant he was going to put up with Skysher's stupidity and humility, he was more than happy to oblige.
However, making that a reality had one condition within Ace.
He was going to implement his own version of Skysher, his own elements.
He was going to accept who he was and bring change to it.
Change that he would be happy with.
It was no longer about what Skysher would do. But what Ace would implement.
Ace needed to decide who he really was and what path he needed to choose.
The soul or the body? The mind or the heart?
Hate or love? Pain or peace?
ACE OR SKYSHER?!
