Wizard: I Have a Nightmare World

Sotal Holy Mystery Academy

The Third Branch – White Crow Tower!

In the southeast corner of the branch, in the greenhouse marked as the herb cultivation room, a mud-covered hand suddenly reached out.

Lynn groaned in pain, bracing himself on the ground with his left hand, and slowly sat up.

At this moment, his mind was as if it were experiencing a natural disaster storm, with countless fragmented memories being constantly shredded and merged in this storm.

About five minutes later, the storm in his mind subsided, and a trace of confusion flashed in Lynn's dark purple eyes before he regained his clarity.

"A second life?"

Standing up, Lynn looked at his current body and sighed.

He was just swimming in the nearshore waters when a sudden storm hit him, and he lost consciousness after a wave crashed down on him.

When he woke up, he found himself in this unfamiliar environment and in this unfamiliar body.

After briefly sorting through his memories, Lynn suddenly realized that he had actually arrived in a supernatural world that only existed in games and novels.

A knight-like being capable of unleashing slashing attacks and possessing physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people;

Ferocious, man-eating monsters, various spirits, and other intelligent races are very common here.

Furthermore, the most powerful entity in this world is a transcendent being known as a wizard.

Clearing mountains and shattering rocks, reshaping everything—these are all things that can be accomplished with a flick of the wrist.

Moreover, based on the descriptions of wizards in my memory, they are somewhat similar to researchers who possess extraordinary powers.

After successfully sorting through all her memories, Lynn was not excited. Instead, she felt that she was in a very dangerous situation.

In a world where there are extraordinary powers and the ability to materialize the concept of a soul, there is a high probability that his alien soul, which has replaced the original owner, will be exposed by the other party.

By then, Lynn couldn't even imagine what would happen to her.

Realizing this, Lynn's tension intensified, and he quickly glanced around at his surroundings.

According to his memory, he is currently in the greenhouse where herbs are cultivated in White Crow Tower.

The original owner, who also had the same name as Lynn, was a herbalism apprentice here, responsible for looking after and caring for these herbs.

Lynn took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, as his gaze swept over the various herbs in front of him.

Now that time travel is a fact, his only task is to avoid revealing that he is no longer the original Lynn in front of these so-called wizards and other transcendent beings.

call--

Exhaling a breath of hot air, Lynn brushed the dirt off his hands and then walked towards the place he remembered living in.

According to the original owner's memories, Lynn was the only apprentice in the incubation room, and his residence was also in the incubation room.

There aren't many people here usually, so it's a very easy job.

But this is only the surface. Besides being a herbalist apprentice in the nursery, Lynn is also a wizard apprentice, and at the very bottom, the third rank.

Wizard Apprentice...

As Lynn walked, she sorted through her memories in order to quickly understand her own situation.

Lynn's brows furrowed, especially after seeing this "wizard apprentice".

Because he discovered that this so-called wizard apprenticeship actually had an assessment mechanism.

This mechanism is outrageous. When the academy or a traveling wizard discovers a child with wizarding potential, they will bring the child back to the academy for a qualification test and sign a contract.

This qualification is divided into three categories: superior qualification, medium qualification, and inferior qualification.

The best among them is the one that will make it easier to advance to a formal wizard.

As its name suggests, the inferior class has poor aptitude and its chances of becoming a formal wizard are extremely slim.

After their qualifications are verified, the children who are brought back are given a manual called "Basic Meditation Method" to practice.

After obtaining the cultivation method, the academy will give everyone five years, during which time all expenses will be borne by the academy.

Suddenly, Lynn stopped in his tracks.

He suddenly noticed a detail he had overlooked.

It's that contract!

The contract stipulated that the academy would cover all expenses for the apprentice for five years, but the apprentice had to reach the standard of a first-class apprentice within those five years.

If an apprentice fails to meet the standards, he will be burdened with debts that accrue huge interest and will have to repay them.

There are only three possible solutions in this situation.

Either sign a debt labor agreement and work at the college to pay off your debts.

They could either become living experimental subjects for third-class apprentices or wizard masters in the academy in exchange for huge rewards.

Either end your own life to avoid the tragic fate that awaits you.

After reading this, Lynn's face instantly turned extremely ugly.

This contract is practically a trap!

Apprentices with good aptitude don't need to worry about this at all. Even if they eventually stop at the third-class apprentice level and cannot be promoted to a formal wizard, they don't need to be troubled by this debt.

Apprentices with poor aptitude work hard every day to improve themselves, but ultimately, due to their aptitude, 99% of them fail to become first-class apprentices.

In the end, he had no choice but to shoulder this huge debt, spending the rest of his life in debt from which he could not recover.

Most importantly, all of this is completely legal within the legal framework of the Sotal Academy!

This also includes the branch campuses under the Secretarial Academy.

Lynn's back was soaked with cold sweat as he quickly retrieved his memories of the original owner's aptitude test.

At that time, he had just been found to have inferior qualifications. The wizard in charge of the test looked him up and down with the eyes of someone looking at merchandise, and spoke in a very indifferent tone.

"Inferior aptitude, extremely low mental strength growth potential. It is recommended to transfer to the logistics track and sign a five-year training contract."

At the time, the young original owner did not understand what this meant. He only felt that becoming a wizard was an incredible stroke of luck, and he happily signed his name.

And now, there are only five months left until the five-year deadline!

Lynn clenched his fists, already thinking that his identity as a transmigrator was troublesome enough.

Little did I know that even bigger trouble awaited me.

He glanced at the dividing line between first-class and third-class apprentices.

First-class apprentices need to use meditation to condense their mental energy into a cohesive whole and reach a mental scale of 1 point.

Second-class apprentices can liquefy their spiritual energy into a sea, reaching a spiritual scale of 3 points.

Finally, third-class apprentices need to solidify their liquefied mental energy into crystals, and their mental energy scale must reach 6 points.

Lynn glanced at the original owner of the body, and realized that he couldn't even complete a full meditation now!

The mental scale has only reached 0.3 points, still a long way from 1 point!

At a normal meditation pace, even if he were given another five years, he would not be able to reach the standard of 1 point.

This person's qualifications are absolutely terrible!

Lynn took a deep breath and stopped walking.

He had arrived at his dwelling, a very small wooden hut, barely habitable.

As for the facilities inside, don't even think about it. It's barely habitable, so what good facilities could it possibly have?

Upon entering the cabin, Lynn felt immense pressure. Without any hesitation, she went to the bed and began her first meditation session, following the "Basic Meditation Method" from her memory.

According to the "Basic Meditation Method", meditation requires emptying the mind and then concentrating the intention in the space of consciousness to outline the runes required for meditation.

Whether it was because Lynn had traveled from another time or because her body had memorized this state, Lynn entered a meditative state in a short time.

However, the meditation process did not go smoothly.

Lynn attempted to sketch the meditation runes. He completed the first stroke smoothly, but when he prepared to continue sketching the second stroke, the entire rune collapsed on the spot.

After several attempts, Lynn failed each time and finally had to exit the meditation state due to excessive mental exhaustion.

But when he exited meditation, he was shocked to find that the world in front of him was not the wooden house he had just been in, but a gray fog world.

Before he could observe his surroundings, a message flooded into his mind.

It didn't last long, it was over in just three seconds.

Lynn took half a minute to process the information.

According to the information, the world I am in is called "Nightmare," and I have obtained four useful pieces of information.

[First rule: In the Nightmare World, he is an immortal observer, resurrected on the spot each time he dies, unharmed and without injury.]

[Second rule: In this world, he can perfectly utilize all the knowledge and skills of the real world to conduct any experiment.]

[Article 3: Here, every death leaves a memory, but causes no physical damage.]

Article 4: Only after midnight, when reality enters the dream world, can one step into the nightmare world.

In the nightmare world, time flows at a rate ten times faster than in reality.
