Wait… what is this?
One moment I was floating—weightless—in a pitch-black void. Then this screen popped up. I could tell it had words on it, but I didn't know how to read. Not until now, at least. I used to be blind. So how am I even thinking clearly?
Did I… get reborn?
I didn't get much time to wonder. A sudden force yanked at whatever "me" existed in that space. It wasn't painful, but it was intense. I felt something click into place, and suddenly—
I had a body.
It's hard to explain, but the feeling was undeniable. Limbs. Breath. Weight. Then pain—blinding and sharp, like my skull was being cracked open—and a rapid montage of memories began to play before my eyes.
A young boy, skin tanned by the sun, with messy black-brown hair and piercing golden eyes, sat in an alleyway. He looked exactly like me. He was watching store clerks carefully, planning which stand to steal from. Hungry. Alone.
The scene shifted.
Now he was older, a teenager. Still lean, still alert. This time he was in a lavish estate, wearing a servant's uniform. The Lionheart family had taken him in, assigning him to care for their eldest daughter. He was diligent, determined.
Then—another shift.
His efforts paid off. The Lionhearts sponsored his admission into the Royal Academy, the most prestigious school on planet Zafir. He'd only been there a few months. Just three left before summer break.
Then everything went dark again.
When I opened my eyes, I was no longer in that memory haze—I was in a classroom. I recognized it instantly.
Classroom 1-D. Royal Academy. The bottom of the barrel.
This was the class reserved for students with little to no magical aptitude—future knights with nothing else to offer. And yet, I felt… sharp. Awake. Present.
The teacher glanced at me once, then looked away, clearly unconcerned. This was 1-D, after all. No one expected much from us.
The screen was still floating in front of me.

Karl?
No way.
He's a top student from Class 1-B. One of the academy's elites. And I'm… this? I mean, I've got some skill with a sword, but I'm far from strong. How the hell am I supposed to beat someone like Karl?
Then the screen shifted again.
[Beginner Info Unlocked!]
[Host, you may not know this—but the test in your last life was a success. Your death occurred under… mysterious circumstances. Your consciousness has been brought to this world, and this body has been upgraded to perfection.]
[The reason this body struggled to show magical ability before was due to a flawed, low-tier mana cultivation manual. It couldn't purify the mana it absorbed, which damaged the body's internal mana paths. The result? Painful, inefficient magic use.]
[But worry not—the system has repaired the damage. Your body is now in its ideal state. All corrupted mana has been expelled. You are now capable of using the body's full physical potential. Magic will require training, but your path is clear.]
[Hint: Say 'status' in your mind to view your information.]
Well… damn.
I do feel a little bad for the previous guy. He had so much potential, but no one ever saw it—not even him. Rest easy, brother. I'll take it from here.
Now then… let's see what I'm working with.
Status.
The floating screen shifted into something cleaner. Sleek. Intuitive.

Holy crap.
No wonder the guy couldn't show his strength. That dirty mana must've wrecked him. I need to be careful when it comes to cultivating. Still—this is amazing.
"System, can you explain everything on this panel?"
[Of course, host! Here's the breakdown:]
Race: Human — You're a standard human, but don't let that fool you. Zafir is home to many races: demons, angels, spirits, and more.
Class: Aura Farmer — Unique
In Zafir, classes define your role and power. Everyone awakens their class around age 16.
Common Classes: Craftsmen, carpenters, welders.
Rare Classes: Knights, mages, assassins.
Super Rare: Specialized paths like Fire Dancer or Daylight Assassin—rare and powerful, but often based on innate potential.
SSR Classes: One in 100 million. These are the stuff of legends—passed down through royal bloodlines or granted by fate. Think Magic Swordsman or Spirit Mage.
Unique: Only one of its kind in all existence. Could be weak—or utterly broken. Your class is this.
Aura Farmer (Unique Class):
You thrive on spectacle. When an "Aura Event" occurs—moments where people witness your actions—the system evaluates your performance. Based on your grade, your Aura Points (AP) get multiplied.
Example:
Someone throws a knife at you. You casually dodge, catch it, and nail the attacker in return. Base AP is 10. You get an A-rank grade. With a 100x multiplier, you earn 1,000 AP.
Use AP in the System Shop to buy items, skills, and upgrades.
Attributes:
Physical (B): Combat strength, speed, durability.
Magic (N/A): You currently can't use magic—yet.
Intelligence (A): Fast thinking, quick learning, mental resilience.
Grades go from:
E — Average human
D — Newly awakened
C — Student-level
B — Graduate-level
A — Expert
S — City-level powerhouse
SS — Royal court-level
SSS — Emperor-tier
EX — Legendary or god-tier
??? — Unknown
Skills:
Weapons Master (A): You can use almost any weapon with lethal proficiency.
Battle Sense (B): Sharp instincts during combat—almost like precognition.
Scholar (S): Incredibly fast learner, especially in structured environments.
Alright. I might be in Class 1-D now, but with this system?
That's not going to last. I will be somebody this time.
