I was bored and decided to see if i could write something even remotely interesting :/
open to all feedback, advice and questions! thanks!
Used stellar transformations as a base
Prologue/setting and chapter 1:
It is approaching winter on the continent of Sil and Un City is covered in a blanket of snow.
Un City is a huge city which has 15 million inhabitants, this may sound like a large amount of people but there are 10 cities like this on the Sil continent, each accommodating around 5 million to 20 million people each, Un city is the 3rd largest city on the continent and has a very prosperous economy, many call Un the city of good fortune because traders always manage to make a large profit when trading in the city.
Un city has 5 schools each of which have around 20,000 students each, the students of the schools take all of their education in them starting from middle school then high school then college.
The 5 schools are called School of One, School of Two, School of Three, School of Four and School of Five, the schools have a ranking order on the level of education that the students receive and how promising the students are, School of One is the highest and many of the graduates become very important people and have prosperous careers, all students of One are looked up to in society and many regard them as the future of Un City.
School of Two students students are also very successful once they graduate, some students even become successful politicians and leaders.
The lower schools, School of Three, School of Four and School of Five all offer around the same education and are for ‘Average’ people, the School of Three being the Top Average and the education is slightly better and as it goes down from there, leaving School of Five for the very average people, the ones who never really stand out and are perceived as such.
School of One is a school which is almost similar to a huge temple, the roof is held up by massive walls and columns in which it looks like it goes past the clouds, the structure almost looks like it defies the laws of Gravity by the sheer size of the place, inside the temple is 3 smaller temples in a massive open courtyard which is split into 3 different sections with walls splitting each, the furthest west temple is the middle school section, the middle temple is the high school section and the eastern temple is the college section.
Huge steps lead into the sections, the steps are split by walls that carry all the way into the temples, this means that the the students of middle school, high school and college rarely see each other.
Chapter 1: Entry
'Uuuu It's sooo cold today, I wish it would be warmer, It gets colder every year', says Nuo who is stretching like a cat and wiping the sleep away from his eyes whilst looking through his window by his bedside at the snowflakes floating down from the sky.
It's a cold morning and Nuo has just woken up in his small apartment in the southern Yii sector of Un city, he runs to the door with an anxious grin on his face.
‘YES! it’s here!’ Nuo almost runs into the door as he runs and slides on his sock covered feet and picks up the brown envelope which has been put through his apartment door.
Nuo then walks into the living room and places the envelope onto the sitting area table, he sits down and drinks a glass of water he made himself whilst coming in, Nuo prepares himself and grabs the envelope, his heart is beating fast and his fingers are shaking ever so slightly, 'here goes nothing..' he rips open the envelope and unfolds the silver coloured paper as he slightly closes his eyes in anticipation.

‘YES!! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! I DID IT!!’ screams Nuo as he reads the results on the letter,
Nuo is 12 years old, and last month he had to apply for the 5 schools of Un city, the day after he applied he had to take an exam on both theory and physical, he was so scared because he didn’t revise as hard as he should of, but he's finally made it and to School of One no less, the most prestigious school in Un city, he’s heard rumors how amazing the place and technology is and all the wondrous classes they offer.
-
It’s the day after he found out his results and that he is a student of The School of One.
It’s 8am and Nuo walks to the bathroom to go get ready, he looks in mirror at himself and smiles, his long obsidian coloured hair is down to his shoulders and he has white pale skin almost making him look like a ghost, his eyes are a grey colour and his face is small and cute which makes most people mistake him for a girl.
He washes his face, brushes his teeth and combed his hair, he then runs into his bedroom to get his clothes on, todays the day he gets his uniform and officially becomes a School of One student, this means he has to go to the The Education sector main building and go through all the proceedings there.
It’s 11am and Nuo has just arrived in front of The ES main building, the building is massive and has 4 different levels, the building is made mostly of just glass and steel, it is a dome shaped structure and shimmers in the light of the day and glistens from the snowflakes reflecting off the glass.
Nuo walks into the entrance, he looks around in wonder as he sees that there is a lot of people of his age sitting on chairs, ‘they must be waiting to be called and such, the same as me’ Nuo thinks to himself, he goes and sits in the corner of the room where it is less busy and waits for his name to be called.
After an hour of waiting.
A sharp male voice splits the noise in the room through the speakers ‘Nuo Guil, Please come to room 08, Thank you’, Nuo gets up and goes to the room labeled 08, as he opens the door a tall grey haired man wearing a suit appears, ‘Ah you must be Nuo, sit, sit, we don’t have much time’, Nuo immediately sits down in the seat in the middle of the room across from the desk in which the man sat.
The room is bright white and the desk and chairs are both made of oak, the desk is big to the 12 year old Nuo and he sits on the chair with his feet dangling off the floor.
The man begins to speak, ‘Nuo Guil, I see, you are student of One, brilliant, I have your uniform here and I’ll now tell you all about what you need to know’ the man coughs after speaking, his voice is sharp but not too sharp, his voice fits his appearance exactly thought Nuo as he listens to what the man has to say.
The man reaches down in his desk and gives Nuo a package, ‘This is your uniform, I hope it is to your liking’, the Uniform was the colour of obsidian, the same colour as Nuo’s hair, it was a jumper and trousers with the logo of the School of One which is just a ‘1’.
‘Yes, it looks about the right size, thank you’ Nuo says whilst he inspects the uniform and then looks at the man again, ‘Good, good, Okay, so, you are now a student of the School of One, your education is fully paid for, this is a benefit unique to the first 3 schools, you are a promising student and are fully deserving of this.
The school of One also offers the students free reign of their catering facilities, you get to use the dining hall as you please and i’m sure you’ll never go hungry, the School is located in the southern Yii sector, which luckily is the same sector in which you live, this means you won’t have to walk far, thats always a plus.
The hours of the school are 7:30am - 6pm each day, you have one free day a week, this free day is up to which classes you choose, I’ll send the coordinates of where it is to your tablet’
BEEP
Nuo takes his tablet out his pocket and accepts the coordinates that the man sent him, ‘Thank you, does this mean I can leave now?’ says Nuo as he puts away his tablet and grabs his uniform package and begins to move.
‘Yes, remember you start tomorrow, Bye now’ the man waves to Nuo as he leaves through the door.
Tomorrow... I can finally start.. Nuo thought, as he leaves leaves down the steps of the building.
