Treasure Awakeners

KRIIIIING! KRIIIIING! KRIIIIING!

Seo quickly turned off his noisy alarm clock. Refreshed, he opens his captivating violet eyes before standing up.

He yawned while stretching his body slightly. He walked to a whole body mirror in his cabinet, fixing the messy hair he got from sleeping chaotically.

"Goodmorning, self."

Ayuna greets himself with a small smile before tying his hair into pony tail. His eyes searching for his phone which he find on top of his study table. He grabs it before heading out of his room. 

Seo opens his phone before looking at the time in the corner of the screen: 10:37 AM. 

'I woke up late huh?' 

Seo walks in the quiet corridor. His eyes wandering around their simple but beautiful house. 

After a while, Seo arrive in the kitchen. He saw his mother infront of the stove, cooking something delicious. 

"Morning Mom." Seo greeted his Mom, Anna cheerfully. 

"Goodmorning, Honey. Can you please prepare the table?" Anna greeted back before asking Seo a favor. 

"Sure. By the way, what are you cooking?" Seo asked while getting 2 pairs of plates and utensils. 

"What we have here is your favorite, Adobo." Anna answers Seo's question with a smile in her lips. 

"Wow! Thanks, Mom!" Seo smiled happily after hearing his mother's reply. 

"Welcome, Honey."

Seo then continues to prepare the table. 

5 minutes later, Anna was done cooking. She transferred the Adobo to the big bowl Seo got. After that, she place the pan in the sink to wash it later. 

Anna sit down in the chair in front of Seo before putting foods in her and her son's plate. While doing so, she started a small chat with Seo. 

"So, how do you feel? We are going to transfer house tommorow." Anna started while raising one of her eyebrows. 

"I feel fine. It's not like I have any attachments here." Seo answered while eating a spoon full of rice. 

Despite living in this place for almost 10 years, Seo did not have any friends or even acquaintance. It's not that nobody approached him but he always turn them down. He's fine with just reading his books and admiring fictional characters. Plus he find them annoying, more so for the girls trying to flirt with him. 

Anna just sigh, clearly not knowing what to do about her son who was more interested in books than real people. 

= After Eating (Time: 11:30 AM) =

Seo was going out right now so he was preparing all the things he may need and was putting them inside his belt bag. His keys, wallet, credit card and so on.

After a few more minutes of preparing, Seo was finally done so he yelled out to his mother who was washing the dishes in the kitchen: "Mom, I'm out!" 

"Stay safe, Seo!" Anna yelled back. Seo did not reply. 

Seo quickly get his bike before opening their gate. After getting out, he made sure its locked. Then, he started pedaling away. 

Today he was going to a book sale to buy tons of book to his liking. He was waiting for this for a quiet a long time. He even started saving up his pocket money from school so that he can buy as much as he wanted to. It's a large book sale so he needed to get there early in case the books he wants gets sold out early. Not that 11:30 am is early. 

As it's near afternoon, the temperature was hotter. The air hitting Seo's body was naturally warm and comfortable. His long tied haired is being swept by the wind beautifully. 

He is Elyseo WinterMoon or Seo for short. He is a 15 years old boy with a long black hair that reaches his waist and a pair of common but captivating black eyes. He have a slim and attractive body with no noticeable muscles but hides a great strength he got from doing exercises everyday. White skin that he have naturally and a handsome face that won't lose out to some models and artists. He is 5'6 feet tall and 55kg weight. 

Many teens (and some adults) was attracted to him because of his great appearance. The fact that he comes from a rich family and was always top scorer in the whole school just added to his charm. Sadly, Seo was not interested in entering any relationship with the reasons that relationship will only cut his reading time. It did not stop his schoolmates from pestering him though.

20 minutes later, Seo finally arrived to the book sale. He parked his bike in a corner and locked it before fixing his belt bag. He enters the shop, feeling the cold air from the aircon that makes his body comfortable. 

Seo immediately headed to the aisle of Fantasy Books where one of the books he wants is laying. 

Seo then starts searching for a book called 'Princess Of Frozen City' in the pile of books. He did not search for long before he find it. It's a book with cover depicting a beautiful woman wearing an ancient bluish-white dress while holding a exquisite blue sword in his right hand. 

Seo hugged it happily. "Yey!" 

He then look for other books that he wants to collect. 

= 1 Hour Later =

Seo was done shopping. He got all the books that he wants so Seo was in a good mood.

He was already in the cashier paying for his books: "Your total is 8,568.50. What do want as the payment method. Cash or Card?" The cashier asked energetically. She was always brushing her hair with his hands and she seems to be trying to flirt with Seo. 

Seo gave her a smile. But who would have thought that he was thinking this: 'The fuck? Why is this ugly bitch always brushing her hair? Didn't she know that she looks stupid? Ugh! So many weird people.'

Seo give her his card without saying a word. The cashier swipe the card before packing up all of Seo's book. After packing the books, the cashier give it to Seo along the card, the receipt, and a small note containing the girl's name and contact number. 

Seo immediately left the shop with goosebumps. As for the small note? He already threw it in the trash can. 

He sits in his bike while securing his books in the bike's basket. After that, he started pedaling back home, satisfied with the things he bought. 

In the middle of biking, he happened to see a small store filled with all kinds of school supplies that he will normally ignore. However, something inside seems to be calling him which caught his attention. He parks outside it before going down his bike. 

Seo don't know where was his sudden interest come from but he didn't think much of it. He just needed to get the thing calling him or else he will not get to sleep tonight. 

He gently opens the shop's door. 

"Welcome, child. How can I help you?" The old man behind the counter greets Seo. 

Seo just nodded at him before answering: "I'm just looking around."

"Sure. Go ahead, child." The old man said. 

Seo started looking around, searching for the thing calling him. 

Many things can be seen in this small shop. Things like ballpen, erasers, notebooks and other school supplies are commonly seen. 

Seo continues to walk around until he arrive in a small corner where books can be seen placed neatly in the bookshelfs. 

He trace his fingers while reading the books' name. Some books are new while some are quiet old. He sometimes pull one book out if it interests him but put it back again after a few seconds of reading them. 

Until arrived in front of a certain book. It was an old black colored book. It's quite dusty and no one seems to touch for a few months. It was as thick as his arms and surely heavy. A bold and beautiful name can be read in the book cover: Book Of Rituals And Summons

Seo's eyebrow raised. The name sounds domineering and mysterious so he opens it out of curiosity. However, there is nothing written inside. He continues to turn its pages but it's still the same. There's nothing inside from the first page until the last. 

Seo didn't know how but he knows that this is the thing calling him. He immediately brings the empty book to the cashier. 

"How much is this?" He asked while pulling out his wallet. 

"Are you sure you wanna but this? I guess you know that it's empty?" The old man asked, clearly confused. 

"Yes, I'm sure. How much?" Seo comfirmed. 

"1500 pesos." The old man gives his price. 

"Do you accept card? I don't have cash." Seo asked while searching inside his belt bag. 

"Yes, we do." The old man replies. 

"That's great to hear." Seo sighs in relief before giving his credit card. 

A minute later, he was already out of the shop, cycling in the road. 

"10 thousand was used up in a day, I'm truly super a big spender." Seo sighs but he's quite happy. He got so many books for his collection again so how can he be not happy?

"No need to mull over this. I deserve this anyways." Seo assure himself although he can't think of any reason why he deserves spending so much money. 

10 minutes later, he was back to their house.
