The universe is divided into two separate dimensions, each one being the opposite of the other and empowering each other.
The dark dimension harnesses negative energy generated from the light dimension, while the light dimension harnesses positive energy from the dark dimension.
However, due to the cynical nature of mortals, the generation of negative energy is much greater than that of positive energy.
Negative emotions such as jealousy, anger, despair, fear, ignorance, impatience, insecurities, inhibition, inflexibility, and malicious desires suppress positive emotions like happiness, trustworthy relationships, loyalty, and open-mindedness.
Over time, the buildup of negative energy in the dark dimension has resulted in a significant increase in the power of the creatures residing there, commonly referred to as "devils.".
The merging of the two dimensions, light and dark, resulted in the appearance of portals in the light dimension through which devils entered and began to hunt humans.
The balance between the two dimensions had to be maintained to prevent one from becoming too powerful and causing the other to lose its value.
To help humans, minor gods intervened and presented themselves as constellations. They granted a "Status" screen to every human, which was only visible to them, to show their power and help them understand the dangers they faced.
The protagonist is unique in that he experienced a painful past in which he lost friends to the devils at a young age before he even understood the concept of relationships.
This traumatic experience led him to be gifted with a special status screen that came with an AI system and many overpowered abilities, accelerating his growth by a hundredfold.
While there may have been others who endured greater tragedies.
The protagonist was chosen due to the fact that he is the 'Protagonist'. It's that simple.
I am now in my assigned dorm, a grand fifteen-story building with my apartment located on the top floor.
Each floor has two apartments, making this building the residence of thirty elite class A-1 students.
The students are assigned apartments based on their ranking, with the top floor reserved for the first and second ranks, and the first floor for the twenty-ninth and thirtieth ranks. Other students are housed in less spacious and luxurious dorms.
The Academy provides education for three years. First-year students start at grade A and move up to a third year at grade C.
Grade A has five sections, A-1 to A-5, with A-1 being the elite section and the rest in descending order. Similarly, grade B has four sections and grade C has three.
As I entered my master bedroom, I went to the bedside lamp and rotated it clockwise. The black wooden cabinet then acted as a gate and opened up to reveal a white room filled with gym equipment and weapons lined up along the walls. This was obviously for training purposes.
'Why couldn't they just make a regular door instead of making it feel like I'm a secret agent reporting to my base.', I thought to myself.
The room had a relaxing atmosphere with its wooden furniture and a see-through glass wall of the apartment.
I had been in my dorm since I arrived at the academy the day before, January 11th, and decided to go for a walk and check out the facilities. I was also craving a burger.
Leaving my apartment and locking the door, I arrived at the elevator and pressed the button. The doors were about to close when someone called out from a distance,
"Hey, wait!" I hit the hold button to keep the doors open and a girl ran up to the elevator and stood beside me. Then, I pressed the button marked with the letter 'G'.
I looked at the girl who was intently staring at me. She had black hair, golden eyes, a toned teenage physique, a gorgeous face, and fair skin.
She noticed my gaze and extended her right hand to greet me, saying, "Stella Gracia."
I took her handshake and introduced myself as "Kael Hashirae."
You might be wondering why the protagonist is not ranked second, it's because he didn't have the resources or space to cultivate his powers to the level of the elite students.
Despite this, he still managed to reach rank thirty simply by being the protagonist.
The person beside me is the first main heroine, Stella Gracia. Her father Stephen Gracia is an American and the guild master of the second largest guild in the world; and her mother is a Korean and an A-ranked auror also a beauty who had an affair with my teacher.
She is a mixed breed.
"Going to take a stroll around ?", as expected, she started the conversation.
"Yeah, I haven't acquired about the faculty first handily.", I replied. Well, the moment I arrived here I went straight to my residence after parting ways with Henry.
"Would you like me to be your guide? I have been here for a week so am familiar with the directions", she asked with a look of expectance in her eyes and justified her reason for asking the question.
"Then I'll be in your care for the time being", I replied rather amusedly.
