Waking up into a Changed World

In a room, the sound of keyboard tappings could be heard as the only source of light came from the computer screen.

Sitting in front of the computer with a headset on as he clicked the keyboard was a 17/18 years old teenage boy with red eyes and white hair, which was uncommon since he came from the western side of the world.

"You Win!!!" The Computer notified followed by a series of fireworks on the screen.

The boy pulled off his headset before he stretched his body. "Damn, playing for 8 hours is a pain"

The boy turned to look at the time, "Shit!... I've got to sleep unless I'll be late for school!"

Getting out of his chair and collapsing into his bed, the boy looked out the window, as he drifted off to sleep, he seem to have seen an explosion happen in the far distance followed by a blinding light before he fell into darkness.

"Ezra, Ezra... Wake up or you'll be late for school!" A man's voice called out followed by the ringing of an alarm clock.

The boy opened his eyes with a frown as he sat up before he shook his head. He looked out of the window as he saw the sun rising.

"I didn't even sleep that long", Ezra groaned as he got out of bed. The door opened as a middle aged man poked his head in.

"Oh, you're up... Go freshen up immediately, today is your awakening ceremony" the middle aged man said before he took back his head and closed the door.

"Awakening Ceremony?" Ezra was confused,"... Wasn't today our college entrance exam?"

He then felt an impulse to look out the window, and when he did, he gasped.

"Have I been f**king transmigrated??" he cursed as he looked at what was happening before him.

The sausage vendor opposite his house conjured a flame and used it for fry the sausages, before he used telekinesis to control the bread be would put it in.

He saw a man in suit levitating through the air as he went to work.

Suddenly, a shadow passed by his window followed by several other shadows, the wind pressure pushed him back making him to fall on his butt. He winced but he scrambled up and went back to the window.

A black cloaked man was flying at high speed through the air, while two policemen and another man in a jacket were in pursuit.

Ezra moved back and sat on his familiar and yet unfamiliar bed in daze.

"I didn't sleep for too long, did I??" He asked himself, before he took his phone on the table, he turned it on and checked the date. It was naturally still the normal date. 19 June, 20xx

Ezra's eyes suddenly widened as he threw his phone unto the bed and ran out of his room, running all the way down to the living room, he was only met with an empty one, no one was there aside the chairs, center table and television coupled with the picture frames on the wall.

He heard some noises in the kitchen, so he took some steps there and came across this back of the middle aged man chopping some meat.

"Uncle Zenn..."

Hearing his name, the middle aged man turned around and saw Ezra, his lips blossomed into a smile which caused his eyes to close.

"I miss your parents too, lad... but if you are able to awaken, then you might be able to find them" Uncle Zenn naturally said.

"Awaken..." Ezra muttered as he turned around to go back to his room, he didn't notice the frown that suddenly appeared on Uncls Zenn's face.

"This Child seems different, like he wasn't from here..."

Half an hour later, Ezra walked out of his house towards the street, he was dressed in a red and black jacket with a white vest, black trousers and sneakers. Since today was the awakening ceremony, he didn't need to carry his bag.

"So ths awakening ceremony is just like the college entrance exam, based on my awakening, the college I get into would be determined"

"There are no changes, my school name is still the same, so also other schools, the countries and continents have their names changed..." Ezra went through what he had noticed. The city he lived in now was now called Livingstone City, which was LA in his normal world.

*Crackle* *hiss*

The sound of roasting sausages pulled him out of his thoughts, he saw the sausage vendor conjuring the flame with his hand which he used to roast the raw sausages.

No matter how many times he saw this, it still felt all too surreal.

"Oi, kiddo Ez, wish you luck in your ceremony" the vendor shouted out to Ezra showing off his incomplete set of teeth.

"Thank you, Grandpa Sun" Ezra waved with a wry smile as he continued on.

Livingstone High

One of the best magic highschool in Livingstone City, taking after the name of the City, it is known to nurture the best of the best students who awaken god tier talents.

Outside the school, several cars pulled up as students got out from the cars, some with their parents while others went in alone. Some people arrived in carriages pulled by beasts, and some others arrived on foot.

In the grand hall, the seats were already filling with students and parents alike, the hall was built like an amphitheater, an arena like circle in the middle. In the arena was a large black crystal ball on a podium of one side, then there was a target practice area on another side.

In the stands, Ezra walked along as he tried to find where to sit.

"Ez!... Ez!!... Ez!!!" Someone shouted. Looking in the direction the voice came from, Ezra noticed a dark redhead with red eyes waving at him with glee. He subconsciously smiled.

"I guess Ruby is still as hyperactive as ever" he thought inwardly as he made his way towards the girl and immediately plopped down into the seat beside her.

"I thought you would come late, surprisingly you're early" Ruby said as she glanced at Ezra who seem to be more concerned about the environment.

"Having a uncle like Uncle Zenn, you can't be late on this kind of occasion" Ezra replied causing Ruby to smile, Ezra would always reply her even if his attention was caught my something.

"You cannot blame him, this ceremony is the turning point in our lives, it determines if we get to continue into the world or we remain mediocre" Ruby said which made Ezra turn to look at her.

"Really, so based on the talent I awaken, I would have two choices, hmm?" Ezra asked.

Seeing Ezra look at her, Ruby blushed but still answered, "Sort of, you could still be able to continue into college, but based on your talent, the college you get into would determine your future prospects,

"As the bottom feeder of Class B, you can only awaken trash as talent"

A condescending voice said, Ezra didn't need to look to know who had spoken.
