Ch 1: Echoes of Destiny: Awakening [1]
Planet Blue Star, Dragon Kingdom, Lumina City
The city skyline glistened beneath the sun's veil.
Mystic High School stands as a large edifice, echoing with the voices of students and the bustling of benches—a clear sign that lunch break commenced just minutes ago.
In one classroom, there's a boy named Rey, of average build, with black eyes and hair. His eyes possess a mysterious allure, often concealed by the fringe of his hair.
He leans his slender frame gently against the cool glass, his gaze piercing through the classroom's confines, adrift in the world beyond.
Perched by the classroom window, the boy's slim figure rested gently against the cool pane. His eyes were set on the distant horizon, adrift in the world beyond. A silent intensity surrounded him, as though he pondered mysteries known solely to himself.
His dark hair tumbled in unruly waves across his forehead, partially veiling the piercing eyes that appeared to contain a cosmos of secrets. A sense of restlessness emanated from him as he shifted in his seat, seemingly trapped by the surrounding walls, longing for the liberty of the vast sky.
Despite his stillness, there was an undeniable energy emanating from him, an aura of quiet determination mixed with a touch of longing. He appeared lost in thought, perhaps pondering the enigmas of the world or envisioning grand adventures beyond the confines of the classroom.
Although he was encircled by his classmates, he appeared detached, as if he existed in a world of his own making.
Suddenly, the classroom door burst open with great force, and a blond-haired boy entered, accompanied by a slender boy with black hair and brown eyes.
The blond boy, James, scanned the classroom and spotted Rey sitting in a corner by the classroom window.
He pulled the slender boy, Evan, towards him.
As he approached the seat where Rey was sitting, he slammed both hands on the table and began to stare angrily.@@@@
We suggested he go out and have fun with them, but he consistently refuses. Let's put this topic aside and concentrate on other matters.
Suddenly, an awkward silence began to envelop the classroom.
James chuckled and remarked, "They're all a bunch of fools, thinking they belong to some elite society. Ah, forget it, just tell us what you were going to say."
I replied, "Yes, I was about to say that I'm sorry, guys, but I won't be able to join you because I've taken a job at a convenience store near my house, which will help me support my mother with her challenges."
Yes, my family and I belong to the middle class, having faced troubles that tragically took my father, Max, and resulted in the loss of our property.
Following that day, our mother began working to support us, taking on jobs to sustain our household income, yet it's still not quite enough.
That's why I've taken the obvious step to assist her.
James and Evan exchanged glances, sighed, and said, "Okay, but if you need anything, just come and ask us, okay?"
I replied with a smile, "Okay, let's go before our lunch break ends. You haven't eaten anything yet, right?"
They left the classroom laughing.
But they were unaware that someone was watching them from the window, silently seething with hatred.

Hello everyone, I'm embarking on writing a novel and, as a newcomer, I apologize for any grammatical mistakes. I promise to improve as the story progresses. Action scenes will come in later chapters. Goodbye, and have a great day.
