The year is 2147. The Great Deluge, a cataclysmic event shrouded in mystery, forever altered the fabric of reality. While the world largely recovered, a peculiar consequence emerged – Awakening. In this post-Deluge world, individuals, upon reaching adulthood, faced a potential shift in their consciousness, granting them unique and extraordinary abilities. These “Awakened” individuals, categorized based on their abilities, formed the new social hierarchy.
Hans, a scrawny eighteen-year-old with eyes perpetually shadowed by exhaustion, was far removed from this world of the Awakened. He had dropped out of school years ago, burdened by the responsibility of caring for his family. His parents and younger sister lay in a deep slumber, victims of a mysterious illness with no known cure. They lingered on the periphery of life, existing only in sterile hospital beds, the mounting bills a constant reminder of the weight he carried.
His life was a relentless cycle of work and worry, leaving him with few opportunities for leisure. On the cusp of his eighteenth birthday, however, a rare moment of solitude arose. With his meager apartment bathed in the dim glow of the twilight sky, he indulged in a single can of cheap beer, the fizzy bitterness offering a fleeting escape from his reality.
As he sat slumped on his threadbare sofa, the room flickered, bathed in an ethereal blue light. A shimmering window, seemingly woven from pure energy, materialized in mid-air, its surface etched with glowing text:
[You’ve been awakened as the unknown class (knowledge specialist). Please choose your starting specialization: Alchemy (C), Technology (T), or History (H)]
Hans blinked, his mind struggling to process the impossible scene before him. Was he dreaming? Had the stress finally gotten to him? He reached out tentatively, his fingertip passing through the shimmering surface of the window. He could feel a faint tingling sensation, confirming the reality of this bizarre occurrence.
Disbelief morphed into cautious curiosity. An unknown class, a knowledge specialist? His heart hammered against his ribs as a multitude of questions flooded his mind. He knew very little about the Awakened, their abilities whispered about in hushed tones, a world he wasn’t a part of. But then, the window displayed the words “Knowledge Specialist” – something he could understand. His life, spent devouring books and immersing himself in dusty libraries, had instilled in him an insatiable hunger for knowledge.
He scanned the options before him: Alchemy, a realm of mystical transformations; Technology, pushing the boundaries of the known; and History, the echoes of the past whispering secrets. Each pathway held the potential for power, for influence, for a chance to rise above his current circumstances.
Hans, though overwhelmed, felt a flicker of hope ignite within him. This wasn’t just an opportunity for himself; it was a potential lifeline for his family. Perhaps within the vast ocean of knowledge, he could find the key to their recovery, the cure to the elusive illness that held them captive.
With a trembling hand, he reached out once more and touched the glowing letter “H.” In that instant, the world around him seemed to shift, a torrent of information pouring into his mind. It was overwhelming, a tapestry woven from the threads of past civilizations, forgotten lore, and the whispers of forgotten heroes.
As the initial surge subsided, Hans felt a new clarity bloom within him. He understood the weight of his choice, the responsibility it entailed. He was no longer just Hans, the struggling son, the tired caretaker. He was now Hans, the Awakened, a knowledge specialist, a bearer of the forgotten wisdom that could potentially alter his own fate and that of his family.
His journey had just begun, a path paved with the echoes of history and the promise of a brighter future. In a world shaped by an unknown past, Hans embraced the mantle of knowledge specialist, ready to delve into the depths of history, searching for the answers that lay hidden within the fabric of time.
