The dappled sunlight filtering through the trees fell on Lu Fei Fan's face, a bit blinding.
Lu Fei Fan strolled down the campus path with his hands behind his back, wearing an innocent smile that greeted everyone. However, many people reacted to him as if they had seen a ghost; girls screamed and frantically avoided him, while boys looked terrified and hurriedly steered clear of this harbinger of misfortune.
Ever since news of his inability to graduate had leaked out, it had been sensationalized by the online community, leading to wild rumors that Lu Fei Fan was some reincarnation of a nine-generation disaster. It was said that anyone who encountered him would not only fail their exams but would also bring calamity upon their families—everything they did would go awry!
Unaware of the exaggerated rumors circulating about him online, Lu Fei Fan absentmindedly stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Why does everyone panic when they see me? Could it be that I've become even more handsome again? Ah, it's all my looks that are causing me trouble."
He sighed helplessly. Since arriving in this world seventeen years ago—no, it should be called reincarnation—he found himself in a truly absurd reality.
This world was similar to Earth in many ways; to put it plainly, oceans occupied most of its surface area. However, unlike Earth, it lacked continental plates. Instead, it was dotted with countless islands scattered across the vast ocean. Many of these islands remained undiscovered by humans, and those that were known formed the Free Federation, which consisted of tens of thousands of islands. Some islands could only accommodate a single village, while larger ones resembled super cities.
Based on Lu Fei Fan's calculations, the ocean's area in this world was likely much larger than that of Earth. As for whether this oceanic planet was round or not, he had no means to investigate further; there were no books available to clarify such details.
However, historical texts provided insights into the dramatic changes this world had undergone.
Approximately several hundred years ago, their planet experienced an unprecedented Cataclysm. Fiery meteors fell from the sky, leading to the extinction of most species. Glaciers melted, and the oceans surged dramatically, submerging land and leaving only a few islands above water.
Of course, these events were not the most lethal for humanity; what followed was far worse. The impact from the meteors transformed land into ocean, causing most creatures to undergo radical evolutionary mutations. Many fearsome monsters emerged from both air and sea, launching predatory assaults on the remaining human populations on the islands!
The survivors faced immense peril as humanity's once-great civilization plunged into a world dominated by predators. In this desperate situation, a serendipitous discovery led to the unearthing and activation of island lighthouses.
These lighthouses not only provided energy shields to protect the remaining humans but also guided them in awakening their latent abilities for cultivation!
It was during this time that humans began to be referred to as mutated powerhouses; even today, these individuals are collectively known as Fusers!
They possessed extraordinary speed and strength and could cultivate various skills under the guidance of the lighthouses. They fought fiercely against the evolved Ocean Beasts that roamed their world. Some powerful Fusers could even unleash devastating destruction.
As time passed, waves of strong individuals emerged to combat these beasts, allowing human civilization to continue developing.
Notable heroes from the Free Federation included figures like Beast Slayer Emperor Zhao Baige and Hell Judge Lu Wushuang; from the Alliance Empire came Ambassador Saint Flamingo and Ocean's Spear Raphael—each renowned for slaying formidable monsters throughout history.
These epic heroes were pivotal in turning the tide against the relentless Ocean Beasts of the Order of the Sea. Together with their fellow Fusers, they initiated humanity's first organized resistance since the Cataclysm and established a relatively stable marine human realm—the Free Federation and Alliance Empire—that lasted for nearly hundreds of years!
This world has never lacked heroes, but how many of them can truly survive to become legendary figures remembered in epic tales?
Lu Fei Fan never fantasized about becoming such a legendary hero. He only wished to graduate quickly, find a good job, support himself, and eventually marry a beautiful wife to carry on his lineage. That would be enough for him.
Yet fate always seemed to enjoy playing tricks on him. After four years of study, he still hadn’t graduated, becoming the biggest joke in the history of the Free Federation Academy, earning a place in the annals of academic failures that would never be surpassed.
What made his situation even more frustrating was that after four years, an accidental drowning had turned him back into an ordinary person. Once upon a time, at the age of ten, he had awakened his abilities with astonishing memory; he could read ten lines at once and remember everything he encountered. Even the faintest sounds of insects and birds were crystal clear to him.
By thirteen, his running speed reached twenty meters per second. With a single punch, he could break something as thick as a bowl. This drew admiration and envy from many; it was seen as a sign of awakening as a Fuser. He was recognized as one of the most promising talents in his class and was even admitted early into the Free Federation Academy. However, who would have guessed that after entering university two years ago, an accidental drowning would leave him ordinary and mundane? His abilities vanished completely, and even his memory became no different from that of an average person. He now had to memorize things through rote learning, his punches lacked power, and his running was unremarkable. This left him disheartened as he failed multiple courses year after year.
In this society where Fusers were already quite common, ordinary people without awakened abilities were merely the lowest of the low—ants with little hope of changing their fate.
Every aptitude test yielded the same result: he possessed no abilities at all—more ordinary than ordinary. To put it bluntly, he was considered useless.
In contrast, many of his classmates were awakening their abilities and passing the Aptitude Test to officially become Fusers.
“Look over there! Isn’t that Lu Fei Fan, hailed as the youngest Fuser talent? Just look at how impressive he was back then; now he’s just another useless person like everyone else,” one student sneered.
“Yeah! I heard he’s been trying for three years in the Fu Tong Kao but hasn’t even passed the preliminary selection. He doesn’t have a single ability…” another chimed in.
“Tsk tsk tsk. A burden like him should have lost all face living in this world,” said another with disdain.
“Let’s not provoke him; he’s infamous as a thug from Pandora's Box. If we anger him, who knows what crazy things he might do?” one warned.
After mocking him for a while, they glared at Lu Fei Fan before walking away.
Lu Fei Fan smirked as he watched these cowards. Even though he was no longer a Fuser, they still dared not provoke him; he couldn’t be bothered to argue with them.
After all, Fusers held an exalted status both in the Free Federation and the Alliance Empire. Exceptional Fusers were sought after by nations, corporations, and even powerful families who invested heavily in their training to enhance their abilities and cultivate them into top-tier warriors. They enjoyed high status and access to abundant resources.
Regardless of circumstances, anyone who became a Fuser was a hot commodity capable of attaining wealth and prestige. Even the least successful Fuser could earn hundreds of thousands of Federal Coins annually just by working as a bodyguard for wealthy individuals.
For Lu Fei Fan, hundreds of thousands of Federal Coins would significantly improve his family’s living conditions. Unlike now, where he lived like a pauper and had to work part-time jobs at night. Nevertheless, Lu Fei Fan had never compromised his dignity or submitted to anyone; his principle was simple: if others did not offend him, he would not retaliate. But if someone wronged him, he would repay them double—that was his bottom line.
"Forget it, since I have to drag this out anyway, the principal finally gave me a chance for a makeup exam. I might as well go to the library, read some books, and check out the girls before heading back," Lu Fei Fan muttered to himself as he hummed a tune and walked towards the tall, futuristic library building inside Pandora's Box.
The library was divided into eight floors. The first floor was the consultation area, the second was for reading, the third was multimedia, the fourth specialized in various subjects, and the fifth and above housed history textbooks. The seventh and eighth floors were reserved for rare books and artifacts. The fifth floor had the fewest people, which was why it was his favorite spot. Lu Fei Fan had a deep affection for that place; it was where he could flirt with lonely female students, occasionally lift a certain senior's skirt, or even join a few like-minded friends in studying humanity's top ten forbidden books on desire—mischief that he often indulged in there.
After finding the books he needed for his makeup exams, Lu Fei Fan made his way to the fifth floor, looking for a quiet corner by the window to start studying.
However, he soon spotted a girl sitting at a corner table who made his heart race.
The sunlight streamed through the window, bathing the table in golden light, making it shine brilliantly.
What caught his attention even more was the beautiful girl sitting there amidst a chaotic array of books. She had fair skin and delicate features, dressed simply in black. Her snow-white hands gently supported her chin as she casually flipped through a book, allowing a cascade of beautiful long hair to fall over her shoulder. The dazzling light reflecting off the smooth table made her blink her captivating eyelashes, and what truly captivated him were her clear, sparkling eyes—like two exquisite black gemstones that made his heart skip a beat.
This was Mu Nini, the goddess he had admired for so long. Although he had thick skin and often engaged in mischievous antics at others' expense, he still felt nervous about approaching his crush.
Gathering his courage, he sat down directly across from her at the table with a book in hand, pretending to read seriously while occasionally stealing glances at her.
He caught sight of her notebook where she had written her name—Mu Nini—in elegant handwriting.
