“Good morning, first-year students,” she says, her voice as crisp as a freshly ironed sheet. “I am Professor Valerius, and this semester, you will begin to truly master the six fundamental esoteric arts. The purpose of this class is not merely to learn, but to integrate your unique mana signature with another.

I shoot a look at Ami and Tre, who return my worried gaze. Professor Valerius holds up a sleek, black tablet. “Your partnerships have been pre-selected based on a complex algorithm designed to challenge your mana output and complementary skill sets. Please check the screen behind me for your name and assigned partner.”

The desert had erased empires, yet one structure endured: a towering library, glowing faintly against the dunes. Inside, shelves stretched beyond sight, their books whispering like a thousand voices in prayer. When the wanderer opened one, he did not find a stranger’s tale but his own life, his grandmother’s song...her hands weaving his childhood into memory. “The Library remembers what the world forgets,” a voice murmured from the shadows. Every soul, every story, lives here. And now the wanderer faced a choice: guard his memories or surrender them to eternity.

In a crooked village lane, the clockmaker’s shop ticked with a rhythm all its own. Every clock on the shelves seemed to beat in unison, as though keeping time with something greater than hours. One rainy evening, a girl stepped inside, clutching a broken watch to her chest. Its hands were frozen, its glass cracked, and her voice shook as she laid it before him. “It stopped the moment my father died,” she whispered. The old man’s eyes softened. He turned the watch in his palm, listening. Then he said quietly, “I cannot give back what is gone…”

The blanket was folded neatly like a perfect square, with all the little fuzzy balls removed, even the fraying threads at the edges were cut off by "scissors" formed by telekinesis. The dust on the floor, the clutter in the corners, the crumbs on the desk... When Shen Hao first obtained telekinesis, he could barely grasp a pillow without it shaking. But now, he could do these fine tasks solely with the use of telekinesis. Even transform it into daggers, scissors, spikes... It was as if he had practiced for countless years, turning it into an instinct.

There was no need to turn his head; the bed, the cup, the pillow... all of it was under his "consciousness's" perception and "touch". Even... Instinctively, Shen Hao exerted a little effort and lifted his own pillow. Then, he watched rather blankly as the pillow slowly floated in front of him. Apart from himself, the naked eye couldn't see the "invisible hand". "Holy shit!" Shen Hao exclaimed subconsciously, his eyes wide.

Sister? Murder? How is that possible? In that instant, Shen Hao felt that the world was truly ridiculous.

At that time, Shen Hao had just gone to university. Although they weren't very close, he knew that his sister had a very good nature.

Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Star Jump Day! ``` December 23, 2025. The room was bright with light, it was already half past ten in the morning, and Shen Hao jolted awake from a dream. His face was pale, and he gasped for air. In his mind, it seemed as if the apocalyptic scenes from his dream still lingered. Glancing at the bedside clock, Shen Hao rubbed his temples wearily. It had been a month. His gaze inadvertently moved downward, and there, in the lower right corner, was a crisp, almost intangible light blue progress bar that had reached ninety-nine percent.

Whispers in the Static: The Mystery of the Hudson Valley Hum Deepens Poughkeepsie, NY - For decades, residents across the scenic Hudson Valley have reported a persistent, low-frequency humming sound that seems to emanate from nowhere and everywhere. This enigmatic "hum," often described as a deep rumble or a buzzing sensation, has baffled scientists, annoyed locals, and spawned countless theories ranging from underground military experiments to extraterrestrial communication. Now, a new wave of reports and anecdotal evidence is reigniting the debate surrounding this elusive phenomenon. For Sarah Miller, a resident of Beacon, the hum started subtly about five years ago. "At first, I thought it was the refrigerator," she explains, rubbing her temples. "But then I realized it was constant, especially at night. It's not loud, but it's there, a deep thrumming you feel more than hear. It makes it hard to concentrate, sometimes even to sleep."
