My Comments/Reviews/Spoilers: The start of the web novel have our MC waking up in alternated world where everything is the same (people, places, family relation, and etc...) expect magic replace science. He was about to enter a top high school but now in this world a magic high school for the gifted.
Here how the story so far (Web Novel):
- Our MC wake up in another world as he about to take the entrance exam for a magic high school which even his last minute cram fail to enter. While our MC wish to enter the magic school but fail to do so, his father made a deal behind MC back (MC heard anyway as he was behind the door) to get MC into the school while at the same time sold off his run down house as part of the deal to get him in. MC move in to the magic high school dorm while his step-sister live with an aunt as she go to her school, while it maybe not stated MC father maybe sleeping in his truck as he do his day job as a driver (deliveryman). While at school, MC awaken two ability but no one saw as they were distracted at the time so MC luck out and stay low profile as he train two ability while being view as a lazy and unskilled student at school. To train, earn real life experiences against monster, and earn money he join the hunter association under a different name and cover his face as he is a just high schooler. During a field class assignment where the teacher is watch from behind the scene, there was a mishap during the final phase of the assignment however with our MC with some experience in the field save his classmate while becoming the bait while his classmate flee. While back to school when MC was reward for his action, our MC reject the reward and mock the person (the head of a clan that have large influence in the city in which our MC have bad history with) who was given the reward to him. A bunch of talking and stuff and our MC and this man agree on a duel with a certain bet on the line but he can only official dual when he 18 year old which is 2 year from now. 2 year later where MC continue to train and doing hunting, he dual that man clan men that he pick. In the end our MC won and reveal his dual magic system (fire and lighting).
- During when MC was getting his reward for winning the dual, the city was besiege and invaded by monster horde that later discover was cause by a international evil organization. The city was invaded by monster and many civilian and mage die. Our MC and a few lucky survivor ran to the safe zone including MC little sister who he rescue as they waited out until the professional mage kill off the monster in the city. By the time the monster were all killed in the city after a week, the city can no longer function as a city so most of the survivor move to other city with support of the government (housing and initial food aid). Our MC move to Shanghai so he can enter the university magic school while taking his family (father and little sister along). MC father continue his day job while his younger sister plan to train for a year before entering a magic college (different school then the MC entering)
- While our MC was asking his former female teacher who turn out to be something like a special police force for help (training and school stuff), he got trick and drag to help her job but in return he get some resource. After helping his teacher out with her job when he was trick in doing so, MC was refer to a place to get his second awaken for free by her recommendation and reference. MC awaken another dual system (shadow and summoning) and then he assume that he will awaken another another dual system on the 3rd awaken in the future. MC enter the magic university under the summoning department while hiding his other ability. Something like a festival for the student at the start of the school year, the summoning department fight against other freshmen with reward of school recourse. Well in the end our MC road kill about 150 freshmen. In doing so, the summoning department took all the resource for all the other department for themselves. Our MC now become infamous for this action.
- Short on cash and need of cash, our MC seek out the hunter association to see if he can join a hunter team. He was recommend to a private hunting team instead of the hunter association team as the private hunting team earn more as per MC requested. MC did join the private hunting team with well-known reputation. His first assignment was to protect some children at night that was request by the client (parent) along with little girl as a partner (handler). That night the children was attack by two human shape monster and MC fought them off. The defeated monster die while popping a dehydrated and weaken human from inside the body while other escape. The little girl took care of the human to the hospital while telling our MC to go home since he done with the job. However not long after he arrive at school, the little girl inform MC that his school is infected with same monster as the one he fought earlier. Ignoring the little girl request to leave this for the other hunter to take care since it too big of a job for them to tackle. MC rush in the infect area and attack the monster while saving people. The little girl got no choice but to support our MC as he dealt with the infected people and kill the source while the hunter and the school faculty quarantine the area. MC finish off the source of infection but he give most of the credit to a fellow roommate/classmate because they made a deal/trade behind the scene. At this point he earn enough money to rent an apartment and move out of the dorm but by chance he met a fellow classmate (female and a beauty) who he battle before is also looking for an apartment. Long story short, they stare rent and apartment (2 female, MC (1 male) plus extra for MC sister (1 female) if she come).
- While doing an assignment for all freshman, our MC came across a former classmate and person from his home town who also survive the same monster disaster as he (MC) as he (classmate) is turn into monster by that international evil organization. That classmate who bearing maintaining his human mind beg our MC to kill him, which MC did as he swear to kill those bastard who did this to him. MC immediately uses the freshmen assignment to lure them out as he know some of them are hiding among the student. The trap work as MC delay them from leaving the trap he set as the professional encircle them and arrest them in the city.
- MC was the select few student to go the capital for a school to school tournament and collaboration. During the tournament, MC was force to show his hand by a girl he like that know him from olden day. After the tournament in which MC school won, they have a school to school collaboration as they put different school together and sent them on an field assignment. Our MC school and the capital city school (the girl who our MC like is from this school) is sent to scout an abandon city. There were no major problem during the scout from the beginning until the end. There were minor problem such as a few people don't like MC and so our MC volunteer to scout alone or the group got infest with confusion and start exposing their secret or hidden desire. Still no one die at this point in time even after the confusion ended and awkwardness set in, there were injured people after the confusion. As the student head back to the capital, they encounter a rouge general who simply here to kill them and take MC body for a human experiment (dead or alive). While the few unlucky die by the hand of this rouge general, our MC in the end was force to take the experimental drug with demon blood in order to save his fellow classmate and friend. Our MC turn into a demon with demonic power, he save his friend and kill that rough general but because of the demon in his blood he cannot turn back into human unless he counter it with "fine soul" of large among or else he will die. Our MC ran/disappear somewhere after been told this.
- 6 month later, A childhood buddy of the MC heard news of where the MC might be after missing for 6 month so he snuck out his post (military) to confirm it. There he met MC who was living like a wild man. There MC got his final "fine soul" with some help before he head back to civilization.
- When MC return back to civilization, he greet his little sister and did alot of siscon stuff before calling up his teacher. There MC got drag into one of his teacher family/clan/bloodline problem. It has to do with a guardian snake (that bigger then skyscraper), a plague that just happen to happen and someone point finger at the snake and monster invasion because of the plague smell like their food; basically a conspiracy. In the end they did stop the plague which prevent further monster invasion and people dying and capture the conspirator who started this plague and blaming on the guardian snake.
- MC return to the university and transfer to another department (fire) at the main campus. Because MC transfer in; the professor high attitude speech piss MC off so he challenge the class to prove a point. Well MC beat almost all the low ranking classmate before he was stop by the dean of the school to save face for the fire department professor who cause this mess.
- For helping the guardian snake our MC receive a snake scale he wish to tun into a magic armor for his own protection. With the recommendation from his hunter boss to certain craftsmen he went to him. That quirky elder craftsman will help our MC make his armor if MC do his hunting commission to hunt a rumor vampire to a certain death cases. As MC investigate, he did come across a vampire and his next target/prey/victim. Even as he try to protect the target from the rouge vampire, it was too late as she was turn into a vampire instead of vampire food however MC did kill that rouge vampire. The victim who turn into vampire was allow to live but was warn not to cause problem or else he hunt her down.
- To try his (MC) chance to get rare resource, he bought a reliability info from the hunter associations. With that info he form a team of trusted friend and classmate to hunt that resource. They went but was force back and return to the city due to natural disaster and someone anger the lord of that place (monster lord). In the end, the lord of that place turn out to be someone former mother (human) now a fire women and the person who anger her was a wanted criminal disguise as her. Well the criminal was killed but the fire women was fatally wound due to the criminal cunningness. The result still is that the criminal die and MC end up with a rare resource gifted from that fire women before she died.
- While MC was playing around as the whole nation was selecting player for their national team in the world tournament (our MC is already a default player), our MC receive news that his childhood buddy have fallen (dead) on a mission. Not believing whether it true or not as long as he don't see his dead body he will confirm it himself, our MC travel there along with a companion. Surprising his childhood buddy survive as the sole survivor of his scout group while being treat at a small village for his physical wound and his lost of memory. That village happen to be attack by undead when our MC arrive and was glad his buddy was alive. MC help escort the villager that wish to leave the village to the nearest city. While staying at the city, the city happen to be besiege by horde of undead. It was so discover it was cause by the international evil organization again. MC and the civilian have to go through hell in this siege. By the time the siege was over which lasted about a day and half with a large outer portion of the city destroyed. By the way, MC buddy was pretending to be retarded so he wouldn't be found out by the evil organization when he was at the village as he fear he be kill for knowing a certain information about them.
- MC return to school and found out that his little sister is selected to go to a famous school for healer that is located in Greece. After causing some inference before they departure and some siscon action and a fail attempt to sleep with her before she left to Greece. After she left, our MC return to school and met the other chosen player that will represent China while in which case our MC was chosen as a sub. They were told by the official to get to Japan by boat without stating their identity or background. They arrive to certain city with shipping port that seem to have monster problem in the sea. They plan to get rid of the monster problem so they can ride a ship out to Japan. As they resolve this monster in the sea problem and get a ride to Japan, they left what they discover that was too big of an issue that came with the monster extermination to the official to deal with (such as corruption and back dealing).
- As the group snuck in to Japan (smuggle in, with out using official route and passport), they settle in at temple so they can rest before heading out to Tokyo. However at the place where they were staying at happen to have a curse item that create by a grudge. They resolve the problem with some luck and so they head out to the next location in Japan, Osaka.

Early Predication:
I don't expect much for the ending since most comment on Chinese web
novel ending stated that they aren't that great and/or that it become
boring near the end.
--------------------------------------------------
Like any "transport to another world" novel, the MC usually will have a certain cheat that get
him or her ahead of other in the long run.
For
this novel our MC have one "cheat" that I can think of that is on
the level of "cheat" and one "advantage". The "advantage" that I believe MC have over the other people is that is he is born/awaken with "dual" magic system, meaning each time he advance as a mage and awaken he will wake up two magic system unlike the rest of the people who only awaken one. The "cheat" that MC has in this novel is that he has a mysterious necklace that he received before he went to sleep and woke up in this other world, this mysterious necklace greatest feature is that it increase MC training speed in upgrading his magic power.
This novel is best describe as a modern world with wuxia/xianxia flare. Written with both Western and Chinese idea. Even though it has wuxia/xianxia flare, it doesn't have the full blunt of the usual arrogant people walking around saying I''m from this clan and what and what and you need to obey me or else. It not the usual "law of the jungle" style. In this other world inside the city wall is a modern city (20th/21th century level of technology/civilization) while on the outside of the city wall is rule by monster. This is an alternate world where magic replace science but everything stay the same at least on the map and the thing I mention above, read link "description" would make more sense then my gibberish.
The one thing I found odd in this novel is that it never mention/written/talk about any weapon being uses at all in this novel other then their fist and magic, no one mention or state using weapon to fight. Not even a wooden stick or pole.
Overall it an ok read.
