Chapter 2: Where it is going

As the graduation ceremony came to a close, Aron trudged back to his dormitory the collect his things. Since he had been expelled, he had to leave the school grounds within one week. Although he repealed their verdict. They denied his appeal and informed him that he wasn't going to be allowed to appeal again due to the conclusive evidence they had. So, he shouldn't waste their time and begin preparing himself and leave the campus grounds before he is forced out of it. With his heart heavy with disappointment and frustration, he left the university all alone since he had lost almost all his friends after the accusation was announced. His two remaining friends couldn't see him because they had to attend the mandatory meeting for graduates. The rest of his friends abandoned him the moment the information was leaked, which was weird in itself. When he arrived at his home, he found his parents waiting for him, waiting to hear the full story from him with details since they only heard the short side of it. But as soon as they saw the expression on his face, they knew that it was going to take a very long time to listen to the whole story. Tears streaming down his face, Aron told his parents about what had happened in excruciating detail about what happened. He explained how he had been denied graduation by the university and then expelled from the university for something he didn't even do. Although his parents had heard the short form of the story, but his parents still listened with focus and utter disbelief, unable to comprehend how their son could have been treated so unjustly. After they had completed listening to his explanation. Despite the sadness and anger they felt for their son's sake, they asked, "So what do you plan to do now?" Aron sighed and answered, "I don't know where to start, really,y as I can't appeal it again in the university, the only way for me to be able to do anything other than suing them, but I know that we can't afford it." His parents felt embarrassed when they heard that, but couldn't refute him because it was mostly true, but they knew that he wasn't saying this to shame them or anything, but to inform them that his only path was also closed due to their financial situation. "So, I have to start looking for a part-time job since I don't have a diploma and most of the jobs I could have in my field need it," answered Aron, looking like he has given up even the idea of trying to return to university. "Also, I most likely won't have the job. Because, for some reason, it has been leaked out that I plagiarized my thesis, so I have a negative reputation in the industry," Answered Aron while trying to prevent himself from cursing in front of his parents and his little brother, who was oblivious of what was happening. Aron's parents were hard-working individuals who had sacrificed a lot to give their son the best education possible. However, despite their best efforts, they were struggling to make ends meet, and they simply didn't have the financial means to help their son with his legal battle. Aron's mind was about to be overwhelmed from guilt after he saw his parents saddened for him but just as he was about to console them and ensure them that this isn't much of a problem, he heard a notification on his phone informing him that he received an email, so he opened to read it and oh god he almost had a heart attack because...

We are here to support you and help you through this difficult time. Sincerely, [Steven Brock] Scholarship Program Coordinator ] His parents were scared when they saw his face pale." Aron, what's wrong?" asked his mother. Aron couldn't hear her as his brain was doing the calculation of the amount of money he was supported with in the four years he received the scholarship. The estimated cost of attendance for undergraduate students in the academic year, which includes tuition, fees, room and board, books, and other expenses, was approximately $61,500 per year. This means that he had to pay a minimum of a total of $246,000 more or less for a four-year undergraduate degree. He almost fainted when he completed his calculations, it was only stopped when his father shook him to remove him from his almost-fainted situation. Aron was grateful to them for this, but he knew he was fucked up for the next few years to come until he repaid everything. But when they asked him to show them, he didn't do that since they might die from a heart attack. Their current financial situation couldn't handle debt payments, or they might just have to file for bankruptcy. So, he only told them that the email was about the confirmation of his expulsion, and that's why he became paler, and that nothing else was wrong. They knew he was lying or not telling the whole truth, but they didn't insist on it and left him since they knew that he was currently very stressed and there was no need to pile on top of it. While Aron was sleeping soundly. If you could sleep as soundly by using sleeping pills. Aron was sound asleep in his bed, exhausted from the emotional turmoil of the past few hours. Also, the humongous debt that was dropped on him while he was still stressed. I mean, you can't just recover immediately when you are suddenly a quarter of a million in debt without a warning. For the current Aron, life was stressful; he wished he could rewind time and change whatever was causing this. That was if he knew what caused it, but he will find it, and when he finds it, he will... A strange object suddenly appeared in space, it hovered a little bit before being pulled to Earth by gravity, and fell into the atmosphere. To everyone's amazement (if anyone was capable of seeing it), it didn't cause any ripple when it was falling that distance, but since it was small, and its terminal velocity was low, that wasn't surprising. It passed right through buildings and trees as if they didn't exist, before finally landing directly on Aron's head and passing through it, but it didn't appear on his chin or anywhere, as currently it was assimilating with his brain and synchronizing with it. The assimilation was going on without problem when Aron awoke with a start, but fainted immediately. The strange object that had fallen from the sky had somehow forced him to continue with his sleep ascontinuedinue merging with his brain and assimilating with it. While the assimilation was going the parts were mixing with the nervous,s system, some parts were mixed with Bone marrow, some parts were also mixed with almost all parts of his body. But almost half of it remained in his brain, covering almost all of it while mimicking the function of the location it was assimilating. DING!!!!! SYSTEM ASSIMILATING!!!...10%...30%...50%.....99%… The voice was sent to his brain, but he couldn't hear it because he was forced into a coma for his sake, or he would have felt excruciating pain to want death for himself and the world. 99.999999999%....100% When the number reached 100, the movement of all parts of the object in his body stopped, making any movements as they continued acting the same as the location they were currently residing. SYSTEM ASIMILATION COMPLETED.... This was also sent to him, but he didn't hear it either. EXAMINING AND ANALYZING HOST'S BODY.... ANALAYSIS COMPELTE....

Aron remained deep in slumber, completely unaware of the profound changes taking place within him, and the new door of fate opened for this universe. Since the DLC of using magic, from discovering it to ways of using it for humans, was planned to be released in about 3000 years to allow the living things on the planet to evolve. So, one small step for Aron, a giant leap for life kind on earth.
