New Beginning

The bed creaked at the peaceful movement made by the young child. The room was beautifully lit by the sun, it would have been a beautiful sight, if not for the bad state of the room.

The bed had one of its legs removed, the broken wardrobe creaked, as the air from the broken window, blew. The were so many black spots on the walls of the room, making it look even more disgusting.

The bed creaked once more as the young boy shivered. There was no bedsheet to shield him from the cold breeze.

Another cold breeze blew past, making his eyes flutter open. He slowly raised his body to sit on the slanted bed.

Resting his back on the wall, he covered his face with his hands and sighed. Removing his hands from his face, the boy smiled. His face brimmed with warmth and happiness as he stood up from his bed.

"Another day to wake up in this hole." he sighed, but the smile still remained.

He took of his clothes, leaving only his undergarments. Various scars were scattered around his body. Years of constant training had turned his body into this, a painting of scars.

Making his way to the bathroom, he slowly came to halt. Picking up the necklace on the drawer, he started at it deeply. His smile threatened to come off, but it persisted.

'When will I see you?'

He slowly dropped the necklace on the drawer and entered the bathroom.

...…

The sound of a huge bell ringing, killed the quietness in the room. The young boy dried his hair as he wore his dirty looking clothes. The clothes didn't really look dirty, just bad and worn down.

Hearing the sound of the bell, his smile widened.

'It's time! It's time to ascend!!'

He quickly picked up his bag and headed to the door.

'5 fucking years of constant scars and now it's finally time!'

But before he could even open the door, it violently burst open.

He was shocked, without even registering the shock, his vision was suddenly covered by a fist.

'Shit!'

He immediately ducked under the fist, his fast movement looked extremely impossible for a kid. Even with his fast movement, his vision was once again covered by a fist and this time, he wasn't fast enough.

His head violently flung back, blood gushing out from his nose. The blow hadn't even been fully registered when his feet were shifted forward, causing him to fall on his back.

"Nat, stop!!" he heard a female voice scream, but the voice was mostly drowned by the pain in his head.

"Why do you keep doing this?!" she shoved the assailant, Nat, aside and picked the boy from the ground.

"Dom, are you okay?!"

"I was only testing him, Aurelia." Nat replied as she shyly twisted her hair. For a person that had just brutally attacked a person, Nat's behaviour didn't match.

"Test?! I could have died from a concussion!!" Dom, who looked like he had passed out, suddenly shouted. His head was resting on the bossom of his helper. He slowly inhaled her scent and immediately felt at peace.

"Argh!!" Dom shouted as his face was once again smashed in.

"Nat, what's wrong with you?!" Aurelia shouted

"This guy is obviously a pervert!"

"What are you guys doing?! We are going to be late!" Another person shouted from the door and immediately dashed in the opposite direction.

Aurelia immediately stood up with Dom and began running, leaving the assailant and the victim in the room.

"What do you say we race, perv? I'll give you a head start." her lips stretched to her cheeks, in a grin.

'Fucking bitch.'

And with that, Dom dashed out of the room.

...…

[West Kendall High School]

Dom huffed and puffed, with his arms resting on his knees. In front of him, was a huge building, built with a stone-like substance and stretching far as his eyes could see.

The school was built like an ancient castle, magnificent. Even with its ancient look, the building was surely installed with a lot of safety systems. For a school that housed some of the best Awakened, it was only natural for it to have a lot of defense mechanisms.

With their eyes filled with amazement, they made their way into the huge building.

"Do we just walk inside?" one of them asked.

"I guess so…"

Unsure, the group walked into the building, where they had to pass a short hallway.

...…

In a room filled with various screens, one of the guards looked attentively at the group of children making their way into the building.

As they entered the hallway, four pictures came up on the screen beside him, each with the faces of the group members and a sentence underneath stating that they were new students.

.....

The group was led to a Hall by a robot, that handed them a pamphlet.

They were patiently waiting for the first activity to begin, using their spare time to look around the Hall.

The walls were polished and made with a very smooth metal substance. It was painted blue, with green trimmings. The chairs had a holograohic display of the activities that were meant to hold, making the pamphlet look useless.

Looking at the list of activities,Dom felt a tingle run down his spine.

Here on Keer, children were put through a hellish training from the age of 9. Dom had trained for 5 years like every other kid here, for this special day.

'What makes today special? Glad you asked!'

Today is the day every kid at the age of 14 is expected to awaken their own special ability.

So many Awakened roamed Keer, with different attributes, with the common ones being fire, water, lightening and so on. There were too many to start listing.

"Bro, do you feel what I'm feeling?" Atlas excitedly asked.

"Yes bro, I feel you."

Dom gave a thumbs up, as he excitedly answered Atlas.

"It's not like you'll be stronger than me if you even awaken."

Dom stared at Nat, his excitement almost left, but suddenly, cockiness rose from the depth of his heart.

"Who says it won't be the opposite? Maybe I'll be the one throwing you surprises in your dorm." Dom grinned

"Ohh, bring it on!" She eagerly rubbed her hands together.

'This battle maniac.' Dom's grin widened.

"Can't you both be civil?" Aurelia chimed in

Suddenly, all the voices died down, causing the group to look ahead. In front of them, the ground opened up, a circular platform arose from the hole, with a man in suit standing in the middle.

"Dom." Dom heard someone call out, but when he looked around, he was unable to pinpoint the location of the voice.

Aziel's eyes scanned through the students. As his gaze landed on the students, they suddenly felt suffocated. It felt like a huge burdened rested behind the eyes of the man and huge mist poured out from his back.

"I'm Aziel and I'll be your assembly head for now."

No one missed his choice of words.

"Welcome to West Kendall High, where only the bests are made. You've all been given the opportunity to be great and I hope you make good use of that opportunity. Failures won't be tolerated." His gaze darkened and the burden returned, but only for a short while.

Again, no one missed his choice of words.

"We will be starting with the history of planet Keer. I know you've been told this multiple times and today still won't be the last ime you hear it."

'How many more times will I be told this?' Dom sighed.

He began; "Keer is a planet situated within the outer Rim of Keeran galaxy. It is a vast world of rugged landscape, vast oceans with different species. Eons ago, our ancestors were powerless and were just beings without any ability. That was until they witnessed the celestial convergence.

Eons ago, our ancestors got to witness the biggest catastrophic event involving a dying star and it's planetary system forming a black hole. The black hole swallowed everything in its sight. Various planets were sucked into it but Keer… remained.

From the sky, fell huge balls of dust torus (dust around the black hole). Those who were aged 12 immediately began to realize their abilities.

With great power in the hands of children, danger ensued. Various children had killed their parents by mistake and others just went mad from a young age. The adults tried to stop them but they couldn't. How were our powerless adults meant to stop super beings? Nukes were just stopped mid air and tossed into the ocean. So they decided to lower their pride and beg the children, that seemed to listen, to help fight against the children that only wanted chaos.

An organization was made,the Harmonist, led by adults. The children were trained to be cold blooded killers from a young age and when the adult felt that they were ready, the children where sent to put an end to the criminals. The Harmonist succeeded and put a restriction on every super abled being. Things were meant to go well after that but the fucking weak adults turned greedy and decided to use the children for their own personal gain and where did that get them? They were killed by the children they trained to be merciless killers. Imagine the fucking irony.

Over time, the awakened discovered ways to contain and multiply the dust torus. The adults who weren't killed by the children slowly died and the world was slowly filled with super abled humans.

Some of awakened have the same powers and new powers are still coming up but our ancestors found a way to train everyone the same way without any backlash."
