Path to Transcendence

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Julian woke up staring at the sky, the sun glaring down at him.How did he survive that fall? There was no way he should have been anything other than a pancake on the forest floor.

He also had a huge migraine that was like a jackhammer inside of his head. Rolling over and trying to get to his feet, he felt… off, like there was a disconnect between his mind and body.

All of a sudden he felt a massive rush of information inside of his head. Things he previously did not know were now suddenly just there. Names and faces. His favorite food. Years of memories were being jammed inside his brain at an unprecedented speed. It was overwhelming. The pain, the sheer amount of information. It felt like someone was trying to shove his brain into a jar the size of his fist.

He felt blood dripping down his face, and unable to take the pain, he fell unconscious.

Gwen POV

Gweneth was a retainer of House Hyperius. She had worked for the noble house for over two years now. Originally, she was an adventurer and their party's support mage. Reaching Tier 3 with healing abilities, she received many offers from powerful houses and guilds.

However, she chose House Hyperius because having the backing of one of the most influential powers on the continent was very appealing. On top of the generous pay, they also offered to sponsor her to Tier 4, teaching her things that only those from established powers would be able to.
