Prologue

Why is everything so boring?

since I was born until now I've only been training to meet the expectations of the higher-ups and society, but everything is so dark and gray

In the beginning I liked the fact that there were masks wherever I was.

but eventually, I got bored the way they respond and react was so normal and flawless.

that I only noticed one mistake, it was too perfect, everything was so monotonous and boring

Eventually, I lost interest and just obeyed in the hope of finding something or someone to change my course.

After a time of memories and darkness I was able to open my eyes.

The first thing I saw was a blinding light in a room with a cold atmosphere. I raised my head and then noticed something was above my head, touching my head I noticed a solid thing covering my face.

Curious, I got up quickly to find the situation. I move it to the window to look at my face to discover a black mask being part of it, searching for more details I notice than my mask have a gray circle in the middle and 4 gray points nearly of the circle whit combine with my ash hair

'so that it like looks a E.M.S original mask, so cool' i though after see my new face.

after a few looks to my new mask i report my situation to my tutor and a car comes to carry me to my house, in the travel i thought what i can do before going to the "Errors" academy

'after today, I will go to the army to be a meat shield, maybe I can stay alive if I get lucky in some battles but that will be it'.

'now that I remember, I would have to check the things I will have to take with me'.

After I finished my trip, I went to my room to rest, not knowing what to do I checked my grade point average for my whole life.

'Watching this made me realize that my performance dropped like my desire to live'.

'how strange'. I noticed a transparent circle in my vision in which when I touched it nothing happened but when I watched it more I noticed that another line appeared as if it was loading.

after waiting a bit longer I could hear a voice in my head saying "welcome to 'Errors' tech support".

and then I could visualize an informative screen of my physical and psychological state, but the strange thing is that instead of complex numbers or detailed things it was only numbers of one or two digits at most.

'...'

best to ignore this for now, before exiting the help program I noticed something that said "talents" which when I clicked on I saw something that made me shudder just looking at it.

--------

Talents.

1. single rank (F-?) "an empty desire".

Your mind is sealed by your null desires so it is up to you to fill that void.

- your learning depends on how much you really want to learn something.

- blocked(until your average is B+)

- blocked(until your sanity reaches 99%)

--------

'...'

'now i think of it, that explains why my grades dropped down a long time ago since my interest went away from that point on'.

after seeing the rest of things, I closed the help option and went to sleep hoping that tomorrow they will explain me better at the academy about this "system".

...

7 hours later

I was checking the time now and the time of entrance to the academy.

not seeing any possible delay I put my uniform and things to leave home.

I could use the teleport from the B1 station directly to the central station' I thought after heading to the station, it is one of the only times I could use this.

only time I could use this as its limited use is due to the resources it costs after its use.

Upon arrival I could see a group of people lining up for the use of the other public transports on their way to their job.

'Good thing I wasn't born to wear that kind of mask' I thought to myself after heading to the teleport.

On my way there I could only hear the footsteps of those "people" going to their destinations, without unnecessary conversations and annoying actions.

Everything was so quiet that it bothered me but well.

Why doesn't a so-called Utopia feel like one? I ask myself that every day.

When I arrived I put my ID and purpose of destination with the hope that there is a difference here than in this "Utopia".
