Before Gondola period

Blue planet – Pangea continent

Laputa kingdom

…

The sun hung high up in the blue sky as always, sending light and warmth down to the streets. The massive statue of Apollo, the god of the light, under the illumination of sunlight, stood shiny and sparkling, radiating an air of wonder and magnificence.

Zerento city, the Laputa kingdom's capital, was the most extensive trade and technology hub city on the Blue planet. This city housed one of the most prominent religions on the continent, the Temple of light. There were a lot of shrines dedicated to light deities distributed over the city.

This Zerento city was also the most populated city on the continent. It had a frightening amount of population, numbering almost twenty million people. Over here, the businesses were flourished, and a large number of people traveled back and forth on a daily basis. Countless merchants and students from various countries had come here with their own dreams and aspirations. The amount of money circulating in the city's daily economy usually amounted to several hundreds of billion gold coins.

In one late afternoon, at Life Science Academy (LSA), the top high school in the Pangea continent in science and technology, there was a fine-looking young man sleeping on the wooden desk in one of the classrooms.

"Murong…Murong…Murong!!!"

"Huh."

Suddenly, Chen Murong opened his eyes. The white light flooded through his vision for a while. When he was able to see what in front of him, he could not help being confused by the scene.

"Where am I?" Chen Murong startlingly asked himself.

"Where are you? Of course, in Math class, mate…Damn, how can you sleep in Mrs. Wang's class?... There is an exam next Monday."

"Exam?"

"Yes, moron. You were lucky. She didn't notice you. Hahaha."

Liu Wu!

So, it worked! He had a serious doubt in his mind when he selected this risky time magic skill – reincarnation. He could not believe he was staring and talking with his best childhood friend. Liu Wu died in the human-dark elf war 40 years ago. Murong saw Liu Wu dead in front of himself while he could do nothing. So, after living in Gondola for 50 years, he had come back to Blue planet again! Now, he was in his high school in Laputa kingdom, but he had to figure out exactly when he was.

"Liu Wu, what is today's date?" Murong hurriedly asked.

"Can you just take a look at your phone? You are too lazy, mate. Today is 12th January."

Ummm... So, he remembered that Mrs. Wang's class was in the final year. Then, it turned out to be around 60 years ago. There was still a year left before the apocalypse period began. He still had plenty of time to prepare.

At that moment, Chen Murong decided that he could not allow the mistakes of his past life to repeat themselves. He would use what he had learned over his sixty years of struggling to become someone who would change the human race's destiny.

"By the way, what is your plan today? Do you want to go to the central market after school?" Liu Wu suddenly asked while Murong was still thinking.

"No, I will go back to Xia kingdom today," Murong paused slightly and replied. In Murong's mind, he had missed his family very much. He had to restrain himself not to go to the Chen family's house immediately.

"Oh, what is the matter?" Liu Wu asked with a surprised look and added. "You rarely go home during the semester."

"Nothing. Just would like to visit my family for the weekend," Murong plainly explained.

"Ok, we can hang out together later next week then," Liu Wu dismissed the conversation without any further thoughts.

"Umm," replied Murong.

Then, Chen Murong went back to his mind thinking and drifting in his thought about his past life. By the time he surmised what happened around him, two hours had already passed. The school bell had finally rung, signaling the end of the school day.

Chen Murong quickly put his book and pen into his school bag and said goodbye to Liu Wu. It was time for him to go home finally.
