Crimson Overlord

Chapter 47

Quinn scanned the classroom, and her eyes landed on Orpheus.

The corners of Quinn’s lips couldn’t help but tilt upward.

”Kyle, tell me about how the origin is born.” She asked, and most of the students were shocked because this question was not simple; half of them didn’t know the answer.

Daniel knew the answer and had hoped for Orpheus not to know the answer, and he would use this opportunity to provoke him.

Unfortunately, Orpheus’s following words showed that he knew the answer.

”In the very beginning, the world wasn’t distinctly separated into heaven and earth, but rather took the form of primal chaos and from the primal chaos the origin was born also known as mana followed by the origin attributes.”

The classroom turned silent before Quinn clapped her hands.

”Wow! Perfect answer. You earned ten credits for this perfect answer.” She said, trying to hide her shock; Orpheus’s answer was perfect; if it were any other student, he would have said the original beings were born before the origin, which was wrong; an only handful of people knew this answer. She was curious how this young man full of mysteries got to know that answer. She became curious about his identity; nothing could be found about his origin, almost as if he never existed and appeared recently.

‘Forget it. Let’s focus on the lecture first.’ She murmured before looking at her students; confusion could be spotted on their faces as Orpheus’s answer was slightly different from what they knew.

”As I have said, Kyle got the perfect answer. After the primal chaos was formed, the first thing born out of it was the origin, then the five main attributes later known as the five origin attributes. Origin is like what Luna said; it’s the world’s essence. We will continue this topic later as I understand that you have some questions but first, let’s progress in our lecture.”

Those students who wished to know if the original beings were born after the birth of the origin and its attributes could only keep their curiosity for now.

Seeing this, Quinn Evelyn Asmodeus nodded and continued with her lecture.

”Origin can let us do many things; it increased our natural lifespan while giving birth to origin masters, beings capable of using the origin.”

”I know you all already know this, but I’ll still talk about it. Those that use origin, called the origin masters, are classified into origin levels.

Origin power is classified by a power level:

Origin Level 7

Origin Level 6

Origin Level 5

Origin Level 4

Origin Level 3

Origin Level 2

Origin Level 1

Origin Level 0

We don’t know why there are eight levels, nor why the weakest level was 7. Maybe we will find out in the future if we continue to research the past through Ruin’s exploration.

As for the Origin Attributes: Also known as the elements, there are the following:

Flame Origin

Ice Origin

Water Origin

Earth Origin

Lightning Origin

Space Origin

Time Origin

Blood Origin

Wind Origin

Darkness Origin

Nature Origin

The eight levels are divided into realms.

Ascended Realm (Level 6-5)

Transcendent Realm (Level 4-3)

Imperfect Realm (Level2-1) (also known as the incomplete realm, because in this realm, the origin master is closer to the top yet imperfect, meaning incomplete.)

Absolute Realm (0)

There is a realm beyond the Absolute realm, but we don’t know its name nor if there is someone who managed to step into this realm. In our world, the limit has always been the Imperfect Realm (Level 2); maybe if we succeed in reaching the Imperfect Realm Level 1, we might be able to step into the Absolute realm, which is the dream of many. Your generation is our hope.”

The student’s eyes shone; as their teacher had said, since the creation of this world by the seven Gods who were beyond the Imperfect Realm, nobody managed to step into the Imperfect Realm Level 1. Maybe this generation would be able to break that shackle and step into the legendary realm and explore bigger worlds.

Quinn Evelyn Asmodeus could see her student’s determination; only a few students kept their calm, the twins’ goddesses, Alvinia Nui Yyddrasil, and that young man again, Orpheus. Compared to others, he was more composed, as if the Imperfect Realm or the Absolute Realm were nothing to him.

Quinn decided not to think about it and continued with her lecture.

”Because the first level, level 7, is considered the beginning of an origin master, it didn’t have a Realm. To put it more bluntly, level 7 is not considered an origin master. Only by becoming 6 can you pretend to have truly stepped into the road of an origin master.”

She continued this time by asking a question.

”You already heard about the different origin attributes; everyone possessed one, but who can tell me at which level one can awaken one’s origin attribute?”

Unexpectedly Amber raised her hand, and Quinn nodded.

”Yes, Amber, tell us.”

After getting Quinn’s permission, she stood up and began explaining.

”Everyone can awaken their origin attribute once they became Level 6, meaning once they stepped into the Ascended Realm.”

”Good answer, you can sit back,” Quinn ordered, and Amber nodded. She continued.

”Like Amber has said, you can awaken your attribute once you become Ascended Realm origin master. Once you awaken your attribute, you can begin your life as an origin master. The luckiest origin master can awaken up to two attributes; those are called Dual origin master. Surprisingly, this year we have many Dual origin masters in this class but do not become arrogant as having one more element than others doesn’t necessarily mean you are the strongest; you can lose against someone who has one attribute. Everything depends on how talented and what type of attribute this person has awakened. So be sure never to become arrogant unless you have what it takes to be truly arrogant.”

Just as she finished saying the last word, the bell rang. Hearing that bell, Quinn immediately stopped teaching, “All right, the class is over. Whether you want to go home or join a club, I don’t care. Just make sure you submit the application form if you wish to join a club; however, be sure to read the student’s code.”

She vanished right after saying those words.
