After an unknown amount of time, I was born. As it turned out I was in a womb. I was born 10 years ago so yeah I'm 10. When I was born all I did was cry. For a long time to the point where my parents got worried. Controlling my emotions was hard. I don't know if Josh also got reborn here. Maybe he did.
Josh and I have been through thick and thin together. He always got things in check when we were lost. We both lost mom and dad when we were pretty young. I still remember all the love I received from them. Fuck even now it hurts to think about this.
I've had many years to get over the incident but to this day I still get nightmares. I can see his face and my desperate attempt to do something. Every time I wake up in cold sweat my parents come over and spend time with me till I fall asleep.
My parents' names are Roselina and Larry Jones. My name is still Jason so my name is Jason Jones. I'm an only child is you can imagine the love I get and I hated it at first, to be honest. It felt weird even, but they truly loved me and I just couldn't not love them.
Besides my loving parents. I just figured out that everyone gets awakened by the church when they turn ten. I'll also get awakened in a few moments. An awakening only unlocks your potential and God's gift. God's gift is a unique skill of some sort. The reason I know this is because I was reborn in my novel. I know this because of Challenger Academy. The number one academy is supported by the World Government Association(WGA) and Heroes Union(HU). The main setting where the story takes place.
"Jason come on or we'll be waiting till midnight."
"Ok dad ill be down in a minute."
I put all my thoughts aside. Today is a big day for me. My dad will take me to get my awakening. I'm honestly excited but also scared. While God's gift sounds amazing and can also be incredibly trash. I rush downstairs and we go to church. We get to church and many priests are doing the awakening ceremony in closed doors. We await out or well my turn. It takes 2 hours before I get my turn.
"This way Mr. Jones. Priest Steve awaits you and your son in hall 7."
So it's 7. A lucky number. Hopefully, it brings me good luck.
"Thank you"
My father replies to the man and we go on our way. The awakening ceremony is simple it's just many people are taking it each year and well. Things get pretty crowded while waiting. As we enter the room. That is a circle on the floor with many marking and signs. I've no clue what they are but I sit there. The priest pours something on me chants and depending on the glow from the circle determines my potential. It doesn't reveal my gift. Everyone keeps that a secret and for many, it can be a trump card. They give you some money if you register it in case someone is ignorant or just useful for minuscule use.
"Hmm, your son's circle seems to be taking some time to show his potential."
"That's a good thing, right father. It means it could be high."
"True but if I'm correct you and your wife had silver and deep silver right?"
"That's correct father, we are hoping our little Jason gets deep silver. Maybe even gold."
"While slim, that is a possibility."
I felt like I was in the clouds. I felt so comfortable. I've never felt like this in either of my lives. Sadly it felt short-lived. I soon stopped feeling like that and opened my eyes. I saw my father smiling widely with glee written all over his face. The priest also gave me a nod of approval. That wasn't what I was focused on though. There was a panel in my vision. It states this.
