Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 2: Chapter 0002 Letter (New book recommended!)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

St. George is a church school, with low tuition fees and loans specifically designed for students, but post-graduation placement is not guaranteed; it’s up to the students to find their own path.

With the experience from his previous life, Su Lu started preparing early. He used the knowledge points he had organized as a stepping stone and successfully attracted the attention of a certain laboratory.

At this time, he casually ate a sandwich while opening the envelope.

Unexpectedly, there were two letters. One was thick and, surprisingly, came from Su Lu’s hometown.

He was taken aback for a moment and then opened the thinner one first. Seeing the opening “Dear Mr. Pottery, we are pleased to inform you that…” a smile involuntarily appeared on his face, knowing that everything was set.

“Wow, an invitation from the Green Tree Castle lab? Congratulations to you!”

From the side, Sean glanced at the letter and immediately shouted.

“Thank you!” Su Lu showed a brilliant smile without any guilt of cheating.

Well, in the White Eagle Federation, for intellectuals aspiring to become respectable figures in the upper class society, there are several professions that serve as stepping stones, such as doctors, lawyers, scientists…

As for federal government employees? Apart from a few professions like judges, ordinary civil servants are even less prestigious than church personnel.

Green Tree Castle is quite famous in the federation. Being hired as a research assistant is a solid step towards the upper social circle. With a minimum weekly salary of two golden dragons, based on his plan for the next few years, he could slowly release the results from his past life. It’s certain to attract attention, continuously increase his value, become a CEO, marry a beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life. Thinking about it, he’s a little excited!

Next to him, Sean kept chattering like an old woman: “If Beryl knew you got an offer from the research institute, she’d definitely regret it…”

“Can we not talk about that?”

Su Lu’s face darkened.

As a young man, a vigorous young man, he of course made efforts to find a goal in university life, and Beryl was one of them.

However… Alas! Why is his face hurting again when he thinks about it?

Su Lu dismissed Sean with a straight face, lazily opened the second parchment envelope, and prepared to read the letter from his hometown.

No matter what, he can’t avoid his family. He has to show his hand sooner or later.

With a ‘dead pig isn’t afraid of boiling water’ mentality, Su Lu checked the envelope. It was very thick parchment, the black ink characters on it had an artistic feel, and on the back was a strangely shaped wax seal. With fine patterns, it looked like an antique.

He slowly opened the envelope and poured out the contents: a folded page of book paper, like it was torn from a book, in addition to a letter:

“To my dear brother,

The long night will eventually pass. No matter how you evade, you cannot escape the family destiny… Yes, I am here to inform you that the Twilight of the Gods has ended, and a new wave of Transcendent is about to rise. The family needs your strength! The claws of darkness are peeping at the world, please be careful!

Attached with the letter is a page of magic book, it’s my spoil of war. I hope you can keep it for me for some time and, if possible, help decode it. As you know, I’m not very good at ancient languages.

Lastly, I will visit Nia City soon. There are many things I want to talk to you in person.

Your faithful brother, Rod Pottery”

“???”

Su Lu looked up, baffled, “What does it mean? Transcendent? Twilight of the Gods? Isn’t this a science side world?”

No, please, I’ve already accepted my fate, why does fate want to play this game with me?

“Alright, if all this is true, at least I don’t have to change my surname to Pottery…”

While complaining, Su Lu strongly considered banging his head to death.

When he first arrived, he indeed had thoughts of suicide.

After all, a new, backward world where nothing was familiar.

He deeply missed his previous world, yearning for the greater convenience, safety, and entertainment it provided. He didn’t know how many times he tossed and turned in the deep night, tears soaking both cheeks.

Maybe… it was all just a dream, and if he died, he could return back!

This thought continuously struggled in his mind. However, Su Lu feared pain, feared death, and even more, feared that this world was real and even death wouldn’t take him back, making his attempt a grand foolish mistake… finally, he decided to treat this world as an interesting new experience, not to actively seek death, consider it as the second life.

Anyway, how was the saying – “All living beings shall eventually die”, where others dread death, he had slight anticipation for possible transmigration after death.

But now… A letter from his hometown broke everything!

——I thought I had made plans to follow the scientific route. Relying on the experience from the previous life, to earn the title of a theoretical scientist, set up a small business and go through life comfortably as a wealthy person in peace. And suddenly, you are telling me there is a revival of spiritual energy in the West?

Are you joking around with me?!

Why are you so misleading?!

The tricked Su Lu, with a bloodied face, grabbed the letter in anger, intending to tear it apart.

“Right… Perhaps, this is all a poor joke!”

Although he had read many novels in his previous life, the worldview of a transmigrator was deeply ingrained and not so easily broken.

Su Lu monologued to himself before spreading out the pages that came with the letter.

The pages were also made of parchment, thickly stacked together, spanning half a table when spread out. Obviously, the original book was a large volume.

When completely spread out, the paper was densely covered with text and a pentagram array instrument track, with various notes drawn in the blank spaces.

“It’s indeed not in the Federation’s language, but… Ancient Hebrew?!”

Su Lu muttered to himself.

Hebrew is the common language of the current Federation, originating from the once colonial Chris Empire, known as the Empire of the Rising Sun. Ancient Hebrew was a language from thousands of years ago that has almost died out after several evolutions, apart from a few historical antiquities, very few people study it.

But he could understand it! It was part of the education he received as a child!

Su Lu’s breathing became labored, and he suddenly clutched his forehead. Under the intense pain, one memory after another surfaced:

…

An old classroom, a worn-out blackboard, and a stern middle-aged man: “You have to remember, Ancient Hebrew is a universal language in the transcendent world. It possesses mystical attributes and incredible power. It’s a necessary precondition for many rituals…”

The scene shifted to the site of a fire.

“I will never forgive you… Never!”

A young boy, similar to Su Lu, with tears streaming down his eyes, shouted as he ran away without looking back.

…

“Ouch!”

Su Lu massaged his forehead, digesting the surfaced memories: “Seems like… this Su Lu Pottery, comes from a transcendent family? But because of some incident, he fell out with his family, ran out on his own to university? Moreover, due to his disdain for mysteries, he dove headfirst into science?”

He touched the magic pages in front of him: “What kind of world is this exactly…”

Su Lu felt that his understanding of this world was still at a very superficial stage and that he had just opened a huge door.

“Black… magic… making… dead girl, no, Corpse Maiden!”

He was struggling to comprehend the magic page, drawing on the recently surfaced knowledge when he suddenly gasped: “Black Magic—Creation of Dead Princess? No matter how I look at it, it seems evil…”

Just then, a glow appeared before Su Lu’s eyes, and a light screen popped up.
