Everything started from here...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
—A video went viral with over 1 million views about a new born from ``Qing Qing; China`` glowed a golden light. The baby was rumored as the birth of the mysterious ``Luminescent baby``.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Never would I ever expect that the news about the ``Luminescent baby`` I labeled as fake, will be the start of a phenomenon that will pop up all over the world.
Never did I know...
That from this day onwards, will give a birth to a new era. A world where what was once extraordinary became ordinary.
And dreams, became reality!!!
Around 80% of the population have developed unique abilities called ``Quirk`` where people have entered a new age, a society of superhumans. And in this world whirling chaos, a certain profession that people used to aspire only in daydreams, has stepped into the light one day.

||February 28, 2022 /// Monday /// 5:00 a.m.||
As I was having such a nice dream, I suddenly heard a familiar voice, shaking me slowly [...sis...sister...wake up...wake up...it's already 5:00...wake up sister...]
It was brother, acting as my personal alarm cause a normal alarm device won't work on me. I don't know why but I always have a problem in waking up, and hate sleeping even though with my lazy demeanor. Well, not like it had been a problem yet to me.
[Mnnnhhh...ok...] Slowly rising up from the bed like an undead, I stretched out my arms and made a long yawn.
[Hey sis, if you go back to sleep again, don't expect me to wake you up for the second time, got it?] Lil bro said as he headed to the door. Before leaving the room, he added [I'm going to use the bathroom first.]
[...ok...] I replied, still half asleep. Lil bro then steps outside and closes the door. A few seconds in daze, I finally got down the bed slowly and stood up.
I grabbed my phone on the table and checked the time just to be sure, it really is past 5:00 already. After five minutes, I headed down stairs, not caring about my visage and threw myself to the sofa.
As I stared at the ceiling with a tired expression, a very bright golden light made me squint, it was like a shaft is directed to my eyes [Arghh!]
[S-s-s-sister!] Just at the right moment, I heard my brother stuttering in a loud voice [Y-your glowing!] Even though I can't see him right now, I can clearly imagine him panicking.
[...what do you mean by glow-...] Was my last words before vanishing from the gold dazzling light, and lost consciousness.

Regaining my conciseness back, an eerie yet solemn image came to my vision the moment I opened my eyes. It seemed like a head of a monster and a robot, coated in majestic gold, and have six eyes.
While here I am in the size comparable to an ant, standing atop of its gigantic hand as a platform, in a place that seem to be the outer space. Unable to think and react properly, I stayed silent while fidgeting (...is...is this a dream...and what's that?)
[Hmmm, interesting.] Suddenly, I heard a voice of an old man spoke. I have a hunch that it was this giant infront of me, it doesn't have a mouth so I'm not that sure yet.
[Let me explain the situation to you–mortal, since this will be a very important juncture that will change your whole life.]
[...huh?] I was very confused.
[Do not interrupt me when I talk, and only speak if I gave you permission to do so] He said as his aura turned more menacing, showing superiority.
[...s-sorry] I apologized nervously.
[Hmmm, so first of all, this is not a dream. I apologize for your fate being altered, it is my fault that you died earlier than the supposed date.]
I–of course was surprised, wondering how am I dead and if it's true–but still stayed silent and listened attentively, trying not to be rude to the unknown (...is...is this God?)
[You guessed it right, mortal. We are higher beings called ``Devine``. We are not that different to gods mortals know, but our authority is higher, so you can think of it as like that.]
[...so gods exists, huh...] I murmured, but since it is so quiet in this black space, my voice was loud enough for the ``Devine`` to hear. The Devine was silent for a second, then finally spoke.
[To us Devines, earth is just a blemish in the space, a reject to put it simply. A world scarce in strength, deprived from power. Governed by those gods, who ignores their followers plea, gives false hope, and only cares for the benefits they gain from prayers.]
[Anyways, as for the reason how and why you died–I needed a soul to travel through the barrier of time to meet the requirements in recreating this planet new and firm.] The Devine said. [Such as your luck, it happened to be you, so be grateful–mortal, to be able to hold an important position once in a life time. Any questions in mind?]
I hesitated for a moment, then finally asked [...am I really...dead?]
[Yes, but I am offering you a chance to live a second life. So don't make me repeat myself, you are ``DEAD`` and accept it, period.]
[...then, I'm going to get reincarnated?]
[Indeed–well, time is running out. Just find out the rest by yourself, and farewell.] Suddenly the same golden light from before completely enveloped me, making me lose my consciousness and leave the black space.
