Abyss
#23
Throughout its history, every single one of them who received a minus level penalty, not a single one survived death, except for one person, Velia Larqyan Alvhas, the current Lord Abyss.
No one knew who he really was, a very mysterious figure. A year ago, the first time he was in the Abyss, he was the only student who dared to challenge a Lord back then.
However, due to his status as a new student and the incomplete requirements required, the challenge was unacceptable, but, because of his sincerity, God gave him the opportunity, that is, the level would be reduced to minus immortality, if he managed to survive for a month, God would accept his challenge.
Infinity War, a no-limit fight that occurred at that time, almost all students scrambled to do Prysal with him, but no one managed to win.
Time kept changing, and it kept changing, but still, all the fights were won by Velia, even those who were seventh year, not so meaningful.
Initially hunted, but as time went on, everything changed, no one dared to challenge him, until in the end, some of the Emperor who became the strongest troops intervened to fight.
The battle of Velia and Emperor was inevitable, the fight by playing some death games went so fierce, but still, Velia was like a death angel.
After 15 days since the minus level was granted, no one dared to challenge Velia, not even Emperor, that was when the power struggle occurred, between Lord and Velia.
In the end, everything was won by Velia, and became the youngest Lord in the history of the founding of the Abyss.
A glimpse of the past has ended, and now back to the pending story.

Inside the Alchemy Auditorium of Altera, Seen Alchemist Lenhart opened her Abyss System. The search process is carried out, and Nine data is found.
*~ Status ~*
Name: Nine
Level 9
Guild : Revitalize ★
Title: Eryl
*~.~*
"Level 9, your level is so low" said Alchemist Lenhart, but it seemed that Alchemist Lenhart thought a little about Title Eryl and the Guild that Nine belonged to.
Hearing what Alchemist Lenhart said about the Nine level made the students whisper, whereas to be able to take the class Alchemist Lenhart had to complete many quests with a high level of difficulty. They can't accept this.
"Is he really level 9?"
"How could he escape."
"He just came to sleep, and it turned out that his level was so pitiful."
"How could someone take a level 9 to such an important class."
"He would definitely die when if he got a level of minus 100, there was no hope for him. "
"They're a disgusting bunch, they'd rather die than be a bitch."
---
"Why are you so noisy? " says Alchemist Lenhart. Just hearing this, everyone fell silent again.
"Don't you know, the level can't be a yardstick of knowledge" Lenhart warned. No one dared to speak, or defend himself, all just bowed down, without a voice.
"If you know the guild he belongs to, and the title he owns, you will never dare to underestimate him" continued Alchemist Lenhart, while to those who heard so wonder about who Nine really is.
"I'm going to lower your level now, a minus level means being a hunted. Prysal, you will not be able to avoid it" said Alchemist Lenhart to Nine.
"But that doesn't mean your chances of survival don't exist. The current 9th generation Emperor's leader was the only person to survive the Minus Level."
"He was the leader of all the students in this state, the Abyss. Maybe you can be like that." Lenhart's alchemist ended and then opened his Abyss System, a privileged access in granting punishment.
*~ Reset Level ~*
Name: Nine
Level 9
Enter a new Level.
Inserted level: -100
Are you sure?
Yes/no
*~.~*
Seya who saw such a thing could not say anything, because it was her fault Nine had to get a punishment like this, guilt was clearly visible on her face, whereas Qeela was just speechless.
A notification appeared on the Abyss System belonging to the Lenhart Alchemist.
*~ Notifications ~*
Locked Level, you can't reset.
Student, in the process of working on Quest Grade S
*~.~*
Receiving the notification, Alchemist Lenhart smiled slightly, but no one understood the meaning of the smile. Curiously, the students began to think about what was happening, had the process already gone, had the level been lowered? No one knows it.
A moment later, a notification appeared on Nine's Abyss System, after all,
*~ Notifications ~*
The Luck of a Beginner
The Alchemy Pillar raised you to be its Disciple.
Are you willing?
Yes/no
*~.~*
"What does that mean? " Nine asked after seeing the notification.
The alchemist Lenhart gave an explanation, "As his punishment, I will make you the best Alchemist in the world." The words that make anyone hear them will be envious.
The possibility of becoming a disciple of a Pillar had a chance close to the word impossible, but Nine got it without having to undergo a difficult process, even Pillar himself who asked for it.
It doesn't make sense. This is what the students in the room thought. How could someone with a low Level obtain such privileges.
This should be impossible to happen, this was something that no one had ever thought of, even Seya and Qeela found it hard to believe. However, no one dared to question the decision, even until the learning was over, the reason became a mystery.
---
"Congratulations, I think your level is really going to be minus" Seya said, congratulating her, even though there was jealousy in her heart.
"..." - ".Not wanting to make the atmosphere even more murky, Nine simply fell silent.
In his silence, Nine thought about the Title Eryl and the Grade S Quest he had obtained, surely both of them had attachments that made Alchemist Lenhart interested.
“Nine, you're really lucky. You should also sleep Seya,” Qeela a little joking.
“...” Seya was only speechless, but Seya knew very well, Alchemist Lenhart had never played gambling, there was a reason why she chose Nine.
"The lesson is over. Let's go find some food out. " Angoing - Qeela invites.
“In the canteen is the best place,” he continued.
"Alright," replied Seya smiling.
---
Right outside the auditorium door, someone was already waiting, a red hair color with her cheerful-looking face.
"Hi, are you guys done" he said. He was Neta, Arhfa (Senior Learner) of the Revitalize Guild guild.
"How were your lessons, was it fun?" Further asked.
"Yes, it's fun" Seya replied with a smile, "A lot of things happened, "he continued.
"Thank God, then surely you are tired of learning, what if I treat you to eat? " Neta looked so friendly with a face like a warm sun.
"Really, wow steady. It has to be this way to be a senior" said Qeela, while Seya only nodded in agreement.
"You Nine, don't just shut up, let's go" Neta asked as she gave her embrace.

Altera canteen has a special building that stands alone, the extent of almost as far as the eye can see, coupled with the decoration of seating like being in a star hotel restaurant. Even for the learning process, each table is facilitated with a bookcase located beside it. The students really enjoyed being in this place, joking with laughter at each other, enjoying the wide variety of dishes available.
After choosing a seat, on the table is provided Ala Carte Digital Menu, all food menus are available there. Just choose the food menu on the Ala Carte Menu, a waiter will come bring it.
"I'll order Spaetri, Sapytre equals Alpocat juice, "Qeela orders
"If I, Preserved, Baguette is the same Aberycat juice, " said Seya.
"It confused me, I wanted Omela, Curenfeac, and Alcetry as the drinks" Neta said.
"Bread and a glass of milk. " What Nine ordered was very different from the rest. All three of them could only be astonished.
