Chapter 1: Awakening

"Ugh, where am I? What happened? How did I get here?" 

"The last thing I can remember is... That void sphere..."

The man looks around, after a few moments of observation, this young man around 16 years old, realized that only little light surrounds him. Yet somehow he could vaguely see his surroundings. Weirdly he could not see the remnants of the surroundings before collapse, which was supposed to be in a park in a lively city. The young man turned his head towards a small lake that was near his vicinity when he woke up. Not going to lie... After who knows how long, the young man was definitely thirsty. The young man rushed towards lake, the sound of rushing water teasing him.

After reaching the lake, he looked and saw not a man with black hair and brown eyes, but rather a white hair with shining auric gold eyes. His eyes looked sharp as if it belonged to a man who has experienced many things in contrast to his previous gentle looking eyes. Viewing the reflection, he started to ponder about what kind of changes occurred to his body...

After admiring his now somewhat handsome face, he looked towards his clothing. A tattered black shirt with words that have already faded to the point that it is not recognizable. The man took of his shirt and began inspecting his new form. What was once a slim body has been shaped into a body that is a little bit muscular, not by much though.

The young man then realized a major problem...

He hasn't showered at all and he felt really musty and uncomfortable. He immediately went and showered after he quenched his thirst that was akin to having his throat as dry as a desert. The water was cooling, all the fatigue and anxiety disappeared as he took this moment of respite and let all his worries away from his fragile and unstable mind.

He was worried, what happened to his parents? His siblings? His friends? Will he ever get to see them again? Everything that has occurred seemed so surreal. He had a question that began to stress his mind...

"What do I do now? What happens next? What will be... My future..?"

The young man spoke aloud, expecting an answer which never came. After a few hours in the body of water, cleansing himself and washing all the sweat, dirt and muck that stained his body and clothes. After that moment of respite, he uttered a few words from the lyrics of a song he listens to.

"Steel thy soul for a second chance..."

After strengthening his somewhat stabled mind, he began to find an exit to this labyrinth that he found himself in.
