In the year 2018, a monumental shift occurred that reshaped the world's landscape, ushering in not only remarkable technological progress but also the unexpected arrival of extraterrestrial life forms from distant corners of the cosmos.

The catalyst behind this transformation was the relentless march of change itself, a force of evolution that bestowed upon humanity extraordinary abilities, transcending the boundaries of natural laws in unprecedented ways.

These individuals garnered varying monikers, some labelled them as mutants, instilling fear of their potential threat to society.

While others hailed them as superheroes, champions of justice who made significant contributions to the global community.

This period marked a clash of two opposing forces, where lives were inevitably sacrificed as the coin's two sides collided in an epic struggle.

The supernaturals rendered the impossible achievable, erasing the boundaries of what was once deemed impassable.

In the aftermath of a ruthless era, the horizon brimmed with fresh possibilities, signifying a future teeming with opportunities waiting

As great shifts swept through our world, their cost was undeniable, and tranquillity remained an elusive aspiration.

In an abrupt twist, malevolent beasts and monsters surged forth, laying waste to humanity's lives in a frenzy of consumption and destruction.

Even interstellar alliances, distant allies from other worlds, found themselves victims of the monstrous onslaught.

United by a shared adversary, both humanity and the Alliances confronted these creatures born of the void, a menacing force seemingly driven by a single purpose, the utter obliteration of all life.

Yet, humanity's evolution allowed them to stand against this void-born menace, finding solidarity with their extraterrestrial allies.

In the wake of their cooperation, decades slipped by, leading Earth to evolve into a sovereign nation that coexisted harmoniously with a myriad of species, all striving for the elusive goal of peace.

Today marks a pivotal moment.

The unwritten law decrees that to harness supernatural abilities, one must undertake

'The Awakening' process, a rite of passage.

As dawn breaks on this important day for me, I stand on the precipice of undergoing this transformation.

My name is Daniel Zaneia, and I'm a healthy 16 years old boy.

I share my living space with my mother and my equally extraordinary sisters, forming a close-knit household that has weathered life's ups and downs together.

Presently, my heart races with anticipation as I ready myself for an upcoming journey to the Awakening Association.

As of now, I'm getting ready to visit the Awakening Association for the process.

In the meantime, I can't help but be nervous about what's to come.

Normally, there's only a 50% chance for someone to be awakened and that's due to their potential level.

Strangely, the prospect of being awakened doesn't fill me with fear. It's not a question of if or when, rather, it's the potential outcome that weighs heaviest on my mind, the possibility of letting down my mother and sisters.

The thought of my mother and sisters being disappointed in me scares me more than the awakening results

After all, my mother and sisters aren't exactly average people.

And to be honest, they aren't exactly my blooded family, but the love and care they gave to me ever since I was young was enough for me to consider them more than just a family.

According to my mum, she found me abandoned beside a drainage, and ever since then, she took care of me without missing a freckle of love and care.

I appreciated the love my mum and sisters gave me even though it might be a little bit too much.

However, knowing that I can't do much for them made me uneasy which is why I hope my awakening wouldn't be such a letdown.

Moreover, I did everything I could in my studies and because of that, I was given the award of getting the best grade in my school.

I didn't even hesitate to participate in subject competitions and to add that, I heavily contributed a lot to my Co-Curriculum activities which added huge points to my final result slips.

With all these small kinds of stuff, I had my family proud of me.

I still recalled how they were proud of that and how they cheered me on whenever I had competitions.

It was a satisfactory feeling that persevered to achieve everything I could to make them proud.

Aside from that, I wanted to be the kind of person with whom they would have a favourable impression.

Thus, I listened to every one of their words and rules without complaining. I was called mummy's boy for obeying their rules.

But for me, this is just a love I had for them and nobody else is as important as them. I guess this might be the reason why I had fewer friends.

In the end, the ones who will stick around and stand up for me would always be my family and that's final.

Still, I wonder if their rules are a little bit...strange? Don't get me wrong. It's not like I'm disagreeing nor was it too strict.

I felt like the rules are just the ways for them to spend more time with me. Or was I the only one who felt that way?

For example, every night I would alternatively change rooms to sleep with either of my sisters or mum.

And I can't reject it. It was honestly awkward at first, but I got used to it to the point, that it would be unnatural if I can't sleep by their side.

Or another rule that says I can't have a girlfriend till I'm 25 years old. Weirdly enough, the thought of finding a girlfriend never seems to cross my mind.

Without a doubt, I am straight but it's just that I'm not too desperate to find one. For this rule, I don't necessarily believe it's too strict as I believed my mum and sisters wish for me to be independent and capable before finding one.

Yup, that must be it otherwise why would they constantly remind me sternly that women are dangerous and I shouldn't get near those wolves?

It's a phrase that I don't get with the term 'wolves'. I can't find the connection between wolves and women.

Furthermore, they would always add on how these wolves are always hungry and preying on the innocent.

As I thought, I don't get it at all.

But having said that...I have a secret that I can't tell anyone. Not even my mom or sisters can know about this.

The reason why the thought of having a girlfriend never crossed my mind is that...the only crushes I have are towards my mom and nobody else.

It's weird right...?

I just can't imagine anyone else besides them. They're just so gorgeous that there's no one else to compare to them.

I know what I'm feeling is wrong...but it's just frustrating that I sometimes couldn't control myself and masturbate while imagining.

All of these mustn't be known to them or else, I don't know how I can face them.
