Luke Aurelion Vale died once already. When he woke up in a world of magic and monsters, he clung to the one promise the cosmos whispered into his soul: survive AshTale Academy, graduate, and receive a Transcendent System worthy of his struggle. A Golden Finger. A cheat code for his second life. He survived. He graduated. The System activated. It gave him a skeleton named Billy... Luke: What the hell is this ?? Author's note: At the beginning, you can expect a Dark world-building and setting, but from chapter 20 onwards things start to pick up considerably. Also, be sure to comment and leave a review ! I plan to mass release when the story gets 10 reviews and a - very near - number of comments.
