Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 1: Defying fate and changing destiny, the Styx is born!
(Reminder before reading: This is a new author, and I will accept both important female protagonists and female supporting characters in the harem.)
Tianlan Magic High School, first day of school.

Class 8, Grade 1.

Lu Ran arrived first. He glanced at the empty classroom and walked straight to the back row.

Back row window seat, the king’s hometown!
Lu Ran took a deep breath and looked out the window at the new students being picked up by their parents and rushing into the school. It would be nonsense to say that he was not envious and excited.

The experiences of the past sixteen years passed by in a flash like a revolving lantern.

It has been sixteen years since Lu Ran came to this magical world, this world of full-time wizards!
He was born and raised in Bo City, but he had no parents and grew up in an orphanage. His life was much more miserable than Mo Fan's.

Not having enough to eat and not having warm clothes to wear were the norm for him as a child.

But Lu Ran never thought of giving up, he wanted to change his fate!

Since elementary school, unlike those little kids who liked to play house, he often hung out in the Bo City Library to learn the theoretical knowledge of magic.

Because he heard that there would be a magic theory competition in junior high school, and the winners would receive scholarships!
Receiving the scholarship is the first step for him to improve his life!
In junior high school, he participated in a national magic theory competition.

Relying on the magical knowledge he had learned over the years and the deep memory of Full-time Mage in his previous life, he won the first prize and received a substantial scholarship.

It was also from that time that he moved out of the orphanage and rented a school district house near Tianlan Magic High School, where he still lives today.

He was admitted to Tianlan Magic High School with the highest score in the city.

Of course, this is only limited to junior high school.

The junior high school stage has ended, and the more exciting and broad high school and college life in the future has just begun!
In high school and even college, the practice, release and combat of magic become the main themes!

In this world, powerful mages will gain extraordinary status and resources.

Even spouses can have many.

After more than ten minutes, the classroom was almost full of people.

As soon as they entered the classroom, they would subconsciously look at the boy by the window and whisper to each other.

"Fuck, that guy is so handsome, who is he? He's almost more handsome than me!"

"He's Lu Ran! He was the most popular guy on the school forum during the summer before school started. Don't you know him?"

"So handsome, I really want to give birth to a baby for him~"

Lu Ran subconsciously looked towards the window, and a handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes appeared in the mirror.

He had to admit that God had given him a good-looking appearance. In his previous life, he was at least more handsome than Daniel Wu and as good-looking as Tony Leung.

However, in this world where magic is respected, if you don't have enough strength, just being handsome is not enough.
If you take the shortcut, you will probably just end up being some rich woman's male lover.

Lu Ran was resistant to this. He didn't want to play any rich woman's happy ball game.

Lu Ran had long been accustomed to the flattery from these Xiao Chu'nan and Xiao Chu'nu.

The most important thing right now is to awaken a good magic system. Otherwise, he will most likely become the full-time mage version of 'Xiao Yan'.

By awakening the thunder and fire elements, at least he can have a good combat power in the early stage and can join the city monster hunting team.

If he awakens the light element, he can go to the ancient capital.
As for awakening magic systems other than elemental magic, he had never thought about it because the probability was too small.

"Brother Ran!"

Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou sat next to him and greeted him.

Lu Ran nodded in response. He had gotten along well with Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou over the years and was considered their elder brother.

Because whenever Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou were bullied, Lu Ran would use his fists to help them retaliate and he never lost.

Moreover, Lu Ran and Ye Xinxia have a closer relationship, and are even closer to Mo Fan.

Lu Ran took a second breath, looking forward to the next magic awakening.

Xue Musheng has walked onto the stage and the magic awakening ceremony has begun.

"Number one, Lu Ran!"

Lu Ran stood up from the window in the back row and walked towards the stage.

Lu Ran placed his hands on the awakening stone and closed his eyes.

Consciousness comes to the spiritual world and wanders among the vast stars.

Soon, a dazzling blue light filled his spiritual world.

Xue Musheng looked at Lu Ran and thought to himself, "I wonder what kind of magic this genius Lu Ran will awaken? I had to ask for favors from other people and snatch him from other classes." Xue Musheng's mouth curled up, as if he was looking at someone else's child.

"He should be able to awaken the lightning element with a one in a thousand chance, right?"

"Fire is also fine. Fire is second only to lightning in rarity."

But soon, Xue Musheng's smile froze.

He couldn't laugh anymore.

Because a blue light appeared on the Awakening Stone.

Blue, water magic!
"Wow, the blue one is water magic. Did Lu Ran awaken water magic?"

Not only Xue Musheng, but everyone in Class 8 of Grade 1 was shocked.

The main reason was that Lu Ran’s aura of genius was too strong before.

And now, the least popular water system has awakened, and the contrast is huge.

Some were gloating, while others felt sorry for Lu Ran.

Because in their eyes, awakening water magic means going to the rooftop and queuing up to jump off the building.

On the podium, Lu Ran opened his eyes, and a flash of blue and gray flashed across his eyes.

Feeling the two-colored stars in his spiritual world, Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly understood.

Is it a natural talent? !
Lu Ran had been on the stage for quite a while. Mu Bai, who was ranked second and sitting in the front row, couldn't wait any longer.

Lu Ran nodded to Xue Musheng and returned quietly.

Xue Musheng looked at Lu Ran, whose face was calm, and felt mixed emotions.

He has seen many students like this in his more than ten years of teaching.

Students who have awakened light and water magic will, except for some extreme cases where they will yell and cry for their parents, some will remain silent and have a calm expression.

But in fact, their hearts have already collapsed.

Xue Musheng thought secretly that after the magic awakening was over, he must keep a close eye on Lu Ran.

If Lu Ran finds a place to jump off a building later, and the top student in the city dies at the beginning of the school year, then he, as the class teacher, will probably be finished.

"Number two, Mu Bai!"

The green tea girl Mu Bai straightened his sleeves and walked towards the podium with a smile on his face.

"Ice magic, Mu Bai, very good."

"The third one is Qiu Yueying."

After Lu Ran finished watching Mu Bai awaken his ice magic, he closed his eyes.

His consciousness once again came to the spiritual world.

In the spiritual world, the water stardust that was supposed to be blue now looked a little strange.

Lu Ran looked at the stardust. It was half blue and the other half was gray!
One piece of stardust, two colors!

They represent the water system and the undead system respectively!

Originally, Lu Ran thought that he had the same natural talent as Mo Fan: a natural dual element.

But now it seems that there is more!
His natural talent is that both systems share a piece of stardust.

And the magic power is calculated separately, double the magic power!
Is this a natural symbiosis?!
This instantly reminded him of the natural talent of Dian Beijiang, the killer who had assassinated Leng Qing in the original novel.

The humble craftsman is a stardust shared by the Shadow and Chaos systems. He also possesses a special dark matter that will kill ordinary people if they touch it.

As for him, Lu Ran, the water element and the undead element share a piece of stardust.

Moreover, around the stardust, there is a two or three meter long black water silk.

Seeing the water flow, a thought suddenly appeared in Lu Ran's memory.

This stream should be called the River Styx.
